Ali, the hostess, likes planting flowers, writing, traveling and being spontaneous and willful!
Male host, captain, simple and honest, love singing, love his wife.
They contracted 70 acres of ponds on the shore of Honghu Lake, fishing and picking lotus, planting flowers and raising dogs.
In 6 years, I built my own paradise-rouge waterfront!
In front of the lotus pond 10, the flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom.
Do it at sunrise and rest at sunset,
Lying in bed listening to birds croaking and frogs croaking, leaning against the window watching the stars and fireflies,
Simple and clean days, no one else bothers, only each other.
In the morning, the captain punted to catch fish and shrimp, and Ali put on his hat to take care of the garden.
Although watering, fertilizing and weeding are all sweating, the corners of my mouth seem to see the smile of flowers.
After finishing housework, Ali will choose a good book, sit in the rocking chair in the garden and read it carefully, waiting for the captain to return.
When she gets up, she will sit at the window and draw some pictures. Although she has no professional training, her paintings are refreshing!
When the lotus is in full bloom in summer, the captain will prop up the paddle and take Ali to pick lotus seeds.
The captain likes singing, especially when punting. No one is more suitable for playing in the open air than him, even though he is drunk and forgetful.
But the only listener, Ali, couldn't stand his out-of-tune magic sound. Sometimes a piece of melon skin is thrown away and the ears are clean.
Talking and laughing, I unconsciously gained a laundry list. Eating raw or cooking porridge at home is delicious.
Usually Ali and the captain will grow some side dishes and be self-sufficient.
Luffa, beans, cucumbers and tomatoes all grow well!
Ali likes planting flowers, so the captain tried his best to support her, not only helping her pave the garden road and build a fence, but also letting her plant flowers with the broken pots and even wooden boats at home.
Ali doesn't trust, and grows flowers in a unique way with her innate beauty!
Catharanthus roseus is planted in the faded barrel, full of small fresh taste!
Leopard-patterned rain boots are filled with water and planted with copper grass, which instantly changes from a lady to a girl.
The jar used by my mother-in-law to pickle pickles was used by Ali to grow ivy, adding a quaint atmosphere!
Abandoned slippers and kettles are used to raise flowers. They are as beautiful as a painting!
When the garden is full of flowers, Ali will pick some flowers home in the morning.
Put it in a bottle on the dining table, enjoy the beautiful flowers and chat with the captain, which is simple and simple.
This kind of eternal life that everyone envies,
Although it looks light and comfortable,
But it is difficult to achieve.
This goes back to 10 years ago.
At that time, Ali and the captain were still in the city.
In order to gain a foothold in the city and own a house,
Unexpectedly, the business failed and the days were tight. They chose to go back to their hometown Honghu fish pond and live an idyllic life.
The couple built a hut by the lotus pond in the distance.
Light kerosene lamps, wash your face with fish pond water,
Go to work at three o'clock in the morning and sleep at nine o'clock in the evening.
This calm and primitive day was broken by a stormy night.
The heavy rain caused the water level in the lotus pond to rise, the wind blew over the roof and the rain poured into the hut.
So I was shaking all night.
The next day, when the rain subsided, Ali had mixed feelings and vowed to build a house of his own here.
So they rallied and went back to work in the city again.
But the purpose of this time is not to gain a foothold in the city, but to save money and settle down in the lotus pond!
In 2007, they returned to the lotus pond troubled by dreams.
I contracted this fish pond and began to practice my pastoral dream.
The traffic in the lake area is inconvenient, so they use wooden boats to transport cement, wood and steel bars.
Bricks and tiles are carried by two people on their shoulders.
At the end of the day, 200 bags of river sand boarded and disembarked 400 times.
Ali's shoulders are worn out,
She thinks that during that time, you did all the hard work of your life by yourself.
Although I am exhausted, I feel like crying after watching this scene.
Thinking about the idyllic appearance in the dream, she still gritted her teeth and persisted!
As soon as the foundation of the house was laid, Ali could not wait to plant all kinds of flowers and plants. Beautiful hollyhocks and hopeful sunflowers are her favorites!
Finally, after hardships, Ali's dream rouge waterfront took shape.
The house is built by the water, and the terrace extends into the lake, where frogs can be heard and cool breeze can be blown.
There is a study and kitchen, and you can enjoy the lotus pond.
There is no money to hire a designer for interior decoration, and Ali will do it himself!
The study retains the original brick wall style, a kang, a board, several pillows and a pot of chlorophytum, which is perfect.
Then use the remaining PVC pipes and wood in the building,
Homemade desks and bookshelves save money and are easy to use!
Finally, please bring the book in and hang the calligraphy and painting.
Add rich bamboo, copper grass and ivy.
The charm of the study will come out soon!
In the afternoon, hold a favorite book and drink a cup of light tea.
The lotus leaves outside the window are graceful, and the books inside the window are curled up, happy and comfortable!
The kitchen is big, but the white is too monotonous, so Ali and his friends draw some simple little pictures on the wall.
Then order a small wooden frame, and the background wall will be completed at no cost!
The dining table is made of an old door panel that has been removed, covered with old sheets and placed with several pots of flowers.
When friends come, we can have fun together!
As for the living room, Ali used a blue printed cloth from a friend.
Make a pair of curtains and tablecloths and spread them on a small table.
Full of ancient literature and art.
Eat some lotus leaf-scented steamed bread in the morning,
A bowl of porridge,
It's good that life is so simple!
After cleaning up the house, the next step is to plant flowers outside!
This is Ali's favorite and best job!
Rose, jasmine, lingxiao, iris, carnation, corn poppy!
There are more than 100 kinds of flowers and plants in the yard, which bloom not only in four seasons, but also every month and even every day!
In January, Ali received a wooden scaffolding from a friend, and several ivy trees were hung on it. It was quiet and beautiful!
In February, before everything sprouted, leeks quietly raised their buds, camellias shyly prepared to open, and peach trees spat small tongue.
In the moonlight, I watched the flowers by candlelight, and Ali was intoxicated in this garden alone.
Iris in March is gorgeous, red, blue, white and purple, competing to open, and there are only a few flowers and bones in the morning.
Take a nap, the flowers are already in bloom!
In April, the wind and rain orchids stole the limelight, and the red face rushed out of the green trees, full of vitality and free from dust.
May is a girl that Ali doesn't love enough.
This beautiful woman is not only full of amorous feelings, but also good at hair growth. Planting every year, spontaneous every year, inseparable from love!
June, of course, is the season of lotus and water lily. Ali's family doesn't need special species. It's all in front of the door and behind the house, with warm wind blowing in waves and faint fragrance.
In July, Ling Xiao broke out, covered the walls, and flowers poured down like a girl's long hair. It's hot, and it's another day when the rattan puts down the couch and wobbles.
Barracuda in August is in full bloom, blue and yellow, as high as a noble little princess!
In September, sun flowers still bloom fearlessly to meet the scorching sun. Although vigorous, ordinary, but also live out their own!
10, the jasmine blooms for a long time, until 10, a flower can be full of fragrance. Take it off and make a pot of hot tea. How beautiful!
1 1 month, sunny. Every morning when the flowers bloom, Ali will spread out the yoga mat and do some exercises in this small morning glory sea!
/kloc-in October/February, all the flowers basically withered, leaving only plum blossoms, yellow incense and red flowers. Even if it snows heavily, it will bloom loudly even if no one appreciates it!
The sun and the moon change, and spring is hot and cold.
Ali and the captain gradually adapted to this slow-paced life.
Facing the earth and the blue sky every day,
Witnessing a flower is a harvest,
A bowl of porridge after hard work is happiness.
Return to simplicity and find truth.
This should be the dream of many of us!
