Life's "addition, subtraction, multiplication and division"

After several autumn rains, the weather turned cold. Tomatoes and okra planted in the small garden outside the window have long lost their former glory, and some branches have withered, although some immature fruits are still hanging on them.

This is a person who feels sad about autumn. Now both husband and daughter are looking for jobs outside and can only stay at home alone. With the coming of autumn, my heart is inevitably a little cold.

The community is undergoing renovation, removing trees and increasing parking spaces. Noisy all day, a busy scene.

This year has passed so easily and hastily, day after day, year after year.

Life is like "addition, subtraction, multiplication and division". When I was a child, I was like an opossum, desperately fighting for it and possessing it. I think I can live long. Of course, the more things, the better, because the days ahead are too long and I can't see the end.

But time flies like water, and the rest of my life is not as much as it used to be. Considering this, I really can't afford to buy some unnecessary things.

Even the existing things should be cleaned up every once in a while, or given away or thrown away. Those things that once liked very much have lost their charm because they are no longer suitable for today's times, and there is no need and reason for their existence.

I remember once again that when I was ironing the piles of scarves, I joked with my daughter that my mother had passed away and I would leave them to you as a souvenir. Daughter smiled and said, that's it, you'd better take it, for one thing, I don't like it, and for another, it saves you thinking.

Although it is a joke, it also illustrates a problem. Accumulating things is a waste and unnecessary. Some things, if not commonly used, are better dealt with as soon as possible.

Today's shopping desire is different from before. I used to buy books like crazy, but some books were always in the bookcase and never turned over. I seldom buy books now. I'd rather borrow books from the library unless I want to read them again.

I also bought a lot of clothes impulsively, and some of them were no longer lucky after wearing them several times. Now only when you see something you particularly like will you shoot. I used to see clothes full of clothes hanging on hangers, but now I think what I don't wear often can disappear.

When my father was alive, whenever I bought clothes for my father, my father always said, don't buy any more, it won't wear out. I didn't think so at the time, but now I feel heartache. I wonder what kind of sadness my father felt when he said this.

When you reach a certain stage in your life, you will start to do subtraction. Even if there are too many reluctant to let go, I can't take away the slightest after many years.

Reading Mr. Cai Lan's book the other day, I found an interesting phenomenon, that is, although many of Mr. Cai's words are only a few words, they are vivid and interesting, and they are very comfortable to read. The title of the article is also concise and clear, mostly two or three words, one word, at most five or six words, which is really precious.

The magic weapon of Mr. Cai's writing is: "Writing is reserved for others to read, which is obscure and difficult to read. It is simple and accurate, first the plain, then the waves. "

It seems that not only material, spiritual, writing and many other aspects are equally diligent, and proper slimming is beneficial to people.

"Everything starts with simplicity and evolves into complexity". "Simplicity" is human nature, and "triviality" is acquired.

Since life began to do subtraction, life has become very simple, doing what you want and being with the people you like. Everything began to pursue simplicity. The simpler the interpersonal relationship, the better, and the more direct the speech.

Poor stomach and limited food; Simple life and low requirements; Simple and natural, not too much right and wrong. Now simply living in a small piece of land in Xiaotian, my heart is much cooler.

At night, it is already deep, and the crickets outside the window are still chirping. I remember when I was a child, I was very angry when I heard crickets chirping at night. I usually turn on the light and search the fields together. I must put them out as soon as possible.

Now, on this rainy night, listening to the crickets chirping wantonly, my heart is very quiet. This song and the sound of rain beating on the window are like an autumn music.

Life is so short, a hundred years is only a moment, but it is because of the ultimate extinction that life and love will be so cherished, cherish the days with family, relatives and friends, be glad to have them in life and appreciate their companionship on the road.

Sitting alone by the window, listening to the sound of wind and rain and crickets, scribbling lazy words, I don't know why I cried several times and I don't know what to say.
