Spend the first half of your life making money to support the family, and the second half of your life growing vegetables and flowers!

The courtyard gate is surrounded by wooden fences

The courtyard is covered with trumpet creepers.

There is a wall of roses and a few jasmines in the yard.

Surrounded by hydrangeas and fragrant lilies

The spring breeze is ten miles long, and the fragrance of flowers fills my sleeves

Dig a pond in front of the house

Throw a few fish in the water and plant a pond of lotus

Sit by the water in your spare time

Watch the fish playing among the flowers

Plant some vegetables and some melon vines behind the house.

The garden is full of green, evergreen all year round

Fresh cucumbers, beans, eggplants, amaranth... pick and eat as you like

If you feel it's not lively enough

Just get a cat and feed a flock of chickens and ducks

Listen to the orioles by the willows, attract butterflies by the lace

Add some vitality to the courtyard

A beautiful morning starts with smelling the fragrance of flowers

The mountains are misty and the stream beside the house is gurgling.

Three or two cats and dogs chasing each other

A few chickens are strolling leisurely

Take a deep breath, full of fragrance

Start the day's work with the chirping of birds

Watering, weeding, and pruning

Although the body is tired, the heart is full

The midday sun fills the courtyard, and the ivy spreads over the fence

Move a bamboo chair and take a nap under the shade of the tree

Listening to the cicadas chirping in the summer

Brew a pot of scented tea behind the house

Two interesting books

Quietly enjoy this half-day leisure

The evening glow spread across the sky, burning the courtyard red

There were bursts of frog sounds coming from the pond

The aroma of food wafted far from the hut.

The evening breeze is gentle, and the flowers and plants are fragrant

Soon the night deepened

Starry night, drunken dreamland

The days passed slowly

Time seems to be stretched out

The second half of life is like this

Just smell the flowers, don’t talk about sadness or joy!
