Chapter 431 The Happiness of Contentment

Next to that notice, there would always be a portrait, which was of the Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen.

In order to publicize the achievements and contributions of the Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen, the local government often voluntarily posted his portrait in various places so that the people could remember him.

The peasant woman examined the portrait carefully, then looked in the direction where Zhu Yunwen had already walked away, and said with a shocked expression:

"He looks like the Crown Prince... no, why would the Crown Prince come to a place like this? He probably just looks alike..."

After saying that, the peasant woman went back to work, while Zhao Qingzhu and Zhu Yunwen walked around in other parts of the village.

They watched as the children ate food, some rode bicycles and tricycles, and others helped their parents with farm work.

Everyone had a happy smile on their face, so Zhu Yunwen sincerely said:

"Actually, what ordinary people want in life is very simple. As long as they are free from illness and pain, as long as they have food and clothing, and can warm themselves by a fire when they are cold and cool off when they are hot, they are really satisfied and happy."

Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said:

"Yes, but they have experienced hardship, so they are very satisfied with their current life. But as time goes on, they will take this happy life for granted, and their happiness will gradually disappear."

Humans are ultimately not easily satisfied. Short-term satisfaction brings happiness, but long-term satisfaction breeds further dissatisfaction in other areas.

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback by Zhao Qingzhu's words. He turned and looked at Zhao Qingzhu in surprise, then sighed:

"You little rascal, when did you become able to speak such words full of humanity and truth? It's truly impressive."

Zhao Qingzhu chuckled and said:

"Having seen so many things while being by your side, I'm bound to have different thoughts."

These ordinary people are happy to have a better life, but the county officials who used to live much better lives are still not satisfied with this kind of complacency.

Doesn't this comparison prove that what I said is true?

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and after a long while, he sighed and said:

"People are sometimes dissatisfied. If they could be satisfied, they would often remember the beauty in everyday life."

Only by constantly remembering the beauty in life can life truly be beautiful; contentment is a fundamental state of happiness and a normal part of life.
