Chapter 55 country house

Whenever I visit friends in Taipei City, I usually have to climb the stairs. Once I was invited to visit an old friend who lives in a certain building. It happened that the elevator was being repaired. I climbed nine flights of stairs, which was more exercise than the usual four-story apartment! Most of the apartments in the urban area are lined with buildings, with the rear windows facing each other, almost leaning against the railing to reach out. They really live next to each other. One family roasts meat and three families smell delicious, but one family also frys peppers and three houses sneeze!It is closely related!

I once heard a friend complain that he had the painful experience of not being able to sleep well for two weeks. He dozed off at work the next day and was scolded by his boss because the neighbors and his wife had to quarrel every night at that time. Woke up and couldn't fall asleep again.Another friend said that the neighbor had another baby, and the baby cried loudly, as if the mother had fallen asleep and ignored him, but it made him wake up from a dream and wait for dawn. Instead, his wife joked, "That's good, you won't sleep in anymore."As for the noise from the neighbor's TV, even though the announcer reminded him to turn down the sound, there were still people who ignored it. For the neighbors who used to go to bed early, we had to exercise their patience.

A long time ago, a friend advised me many times why not move to the urban area, where it would be convenient to do things, but I was still unmoved.Recently, he suddenly asked me, is it possible to rent a suitable house in the countryside?Is the transportation convenient?It turned out that he was longing for the joy of living in the countryside that I had told him about before. In fact, the so-called rural residence is still within the scope of the Greater Taipei area, but it has a rural atmosphere. In terms of bus travel time, it is about the same as Sanzhangli to Ximending, but the driving speed varies, and the fare is twice as much as the bus fare.However, the physical and mental feelings are completely different. As soon as you leave the Zhongxing Bridge on your return journey, the air will suddenly be fresh; otherwise, you will immediately feel polluted and uncomfortable.I live on a hillside in the outskirts of the city. Every time I have a bird's-eye view of downtown Taipei, I can only see a hazy mist, a cloud of smoke and dust like an atmosphere; at night, I can only see lights.At the thought of going to the city, I couldn't help coughing twice.But living in the country is more enjoyable, and the fragrance of flowers and birds are no longer unusual; walking on the trails at the foot of the mountain in the morning and evening is especially enjoyable; picking chrysanthemums is easy to get, so it is nothing.Walking among the fields, you can also see birds landing on the back of the cow. It doesn't use its tail to sweep it. The cow's head looks back, as if it is smiling at the bird!During the harvest season, the farmers hummed a little song while threshing the grain, filled with laughter of a good harvest.That Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony" is far behind!

I don't intend to promote the joy of living in the countryside to my friends, because I don't have any houses to rent or sell. I just feel that living in the countryside is really very happy. It can avoid comparing wealth with others, and it doesn't create temptation, but it can be peaceful and peaceful. Joy, at least every night is able to fall asleep. The city is just a city of work, home or country is better.In the metropolises of advanced countries, most people still live in the countryside, so why not waste a little time in other places.Land is very expensive in the city, but real estate in the countryside is still cheap; if you are willing to leave the pigeon cage in the city, you can get a courtyard in the countryside.

friends!Evacuate.I'm not kidding, when the North-Way Railway is completed, if there is a way out for my livelihood in the east, then I really want to move to Tianxiang Taroko! (Min 66, 1, 3)
