Zhang Zhengrong deliberately feigned distress and muttered to himself, "No wonder I'm sick now. It must be because I haven't suffered before. Look how healthy Hanqiu is."
"screw you!"
Zou Hanqiu jokingly scolded, and the atmosphere, which had been somewhat heavy, was immediately relaxed after Zhang Zhengrong interrupted. Ye Qingqing had a sudden thought; although Zhang Zhengrong's words were a joke, there was some truth to them.
People who have suffered hardship have a strong psychological resilience. Although it cannot be said that people with depression are pretentious, why do farmers who work in the fields every day rarely suffer from depression?
On the contrary, people who climb to the top of the pyramid are more prone to depression. Perhaps it is because they stand high and see far, so they see too much of the dark side and become depressed. In addition, they are rich and have too much free time, so they think too much, and when they can't figure it out, they become depressed.
Ye Qingqing felt that this was exactly the case: people who are rich, have free time, and are cultured are the most likely targets of depression.
Zhang Zhengrong is a typical example. He graduated from a prestigious university and came from a good family. Even if he suffered while filming, it was more psychological than physical. Unlike Zou Hanqiu, who was slapped and kicked, Zhang Zhengrong was different. Zou Hanqiu was easygoing and optimistic, and he could get over even the biggest problems with a good night's sleep. Zhang Zhengrong was different; he was emotionally sensitive and kept many things to himself, which accumulated over time and became a knot in his heart.
"Brother Rong, have you ever farmed?" Ye Qingqing asked with a smile.
Zhang Zhengrong was taken aback for a moment, "No, there are no fields in Hong Kong, but I've seen rice paddies before when I was filming, they were so green and beautiful."
Zou Hanqiu corrected, "How can Hong Kong not have land? I had land when I was a child, and I even had to herd cattle. However, there was very little land. Later, the government requisitioned it all, and now there is no land at all. But there is still some vegetable garden. My mother still grows her own vegetables. All the vegetables my family eats are grown by my mother, and they taste better than what we buy."
Zhang Zhengrong smiled sheepishly, "There aren't any in my area. Is farming fun?"
"Back then, we couldn't even fill our stomachs, let alone think about playing. Herding cattle was quite fun. Once we tied them up in the pasture, I could play around. At home, I still had to do chores." Zou Hanqiu recalled the past and couldn't help but laugh.
I used to think that childhood was tough, but now when I think back, I realize that there was joy even in hardship, and life was very simple, unlike now when I'm so tired and have so many things beyond my control.
Zhang Zhengrong said with some envy, "I've never even ridden a cow. I used to envy cowherds who rode cows the most. It must have felt so nice."
"You can only ride a water buffalo. When I was a child, I didn't know that. I rode a yellow buffalo and almost fell to my death. As soon as I got on, the yellow buffalo went crazy and ran. I held on tightly to its horns and didn't dare to let go. It only stopped when the buffalo got tired. My hands were almost broken."
Zou Hanqiu looked terrified. He was only nine years old at the time. Fortunately, he was tall and strong from a young age, otherwise he would have either fallen to his death or been trampled to death by a mad bull.
"puff"
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but laugh. She never expected that Zou Hanqiu, who seemed so composed, would have acted so foolishly as a child. He even dared to ride a yellow ox. He was really not afraid of death!
Seeing Zhang Zhengrong's envious and eager look, Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "Aren't we going to Shengxian in a few days? There are fields and cattle there. Brother Rong, you can ride however you want. You can also harvest rice and experience the hard work of farmers."
"Okay, but is there still rice?" Zhang Zhengrong asked curiously.
"There's late-season rice, and it's time to harvest it. The new rice is especially fragrant, much tastier than the rice you buy." Zou Hanqiu is very knowledgeable about farming and speaks fluently about it.
