Many people long for a rural life, but all kinds of obstacles in real life,

mean this wish can never be realized.

Therefore, they can only write down on paper the wish that when they grow old, they will definitely grow flowers and vegetables.

In Wuxi, there is a young girl born after 1995 named Xu Kuaikuai,

Since she was 18, she has already been living the life she longed for in the countryside with her parents,

Growing flowers and vegetables, painting and doing handicrafts, and even cooking delicious meals with her own hands three times a day...

It is simply enviable!

Kuaikuai's family originally lived in the city center of Wuxi, where the house was less than 100 sq m,

Because Kuaikuai and her mother especially longed for a rural life,

It just so happened that a friend wanted to rent out a vineyard in the countryside,

After considering it for 3 days, the family decided to rent this place.

The gate of the old house was originally a somewhat rusty iron gate,

Kuaikuai replaced it with a wooden door, and laid a layer of fine gravel path at the entrance,

The fence was also replaced immediately, and the texture was elevated right away.

Because of restrictions on agricultural land, residential buildings cannot be built without permission,

So Kuaikuai's family could only renovate on the basis of the old house.

The exterior of the house was all painted clean white, and the windows were also changed to safer anti-theft windows.

In the corridor outside the house door, cement was applied to make the floor, and then a rain shelter was set up.

The white tables and chairs they bought were placed underneath, and everywhere you looked was a comfortable white.

Kuaikuai said that her mother likes to grow flowers.

In their original home, there were only 3 balconies where flowers could be grown,

But after moving here, her mother had a 75 sq m sunroom.

Over time, she raised more than 200 kinds of flowers.

In spring, all kinds of Chinese roses bloomed.

Whether climbing vines on the fence or planted in pots,

Every single one, under her mother's careful care, produced beautiful flowers.

What Kuaikuai likes to do most is find a pair of scissors and cut down the blooming Chinese roses,

Whether putting them in an iron box or arranging them in a basket,

Or even holding a few stems in her hands for photos, they are so beautiful they make people jealous!

Not to mention the Chinese trumpet creeper climbing the wall, which almost turned into a curtain;

The heat-resistant and sun-tolerant coral bells decorated Kuaikuai's home in a riot of colors.

Besides bought flower pots, Kuaikuai also goes outside to pick up discarded items,

Such as baskets, tires, wire and the like. Once picked up and tidied,

They immediately become great flower pots for growing flowers!

The porch of the house should not stay idle either. Various herbaceous flowers that easily fill their pots are grown here,

Whether arranged in a row directly on the ground or hung in midair,

You can see them every time you go out, and your mood improves along with it.

Besides growing flowers, what Kuaikuai's mother likes to grow most is naturally succulents.

So far, her mother has already grown more than 300 kinds of succulents!

Occasionally, Kuaikuai also helps her mother by watering the succulents at home.

Kuaikuai's mother is indeed an expert at growing succulents.

Every pot of succulents, in her hands, all turned into pink and chubby little things.

Besides using flower pots, Kuaikuai's family also picked up a few stones outside,

Brought them home and modified them slightly, and they also became great flower pots for growing succulents.

The combination of succulents and stones is simply a perfect match!

Occasionally, Kuaikuai also finds a different approach and plants succulents in baskets,

Or directly weaves them into a wreath, which immediately becomes a rare work of art!

Following the fence woven from wildflowers, you can walk to the back of the house,

Here there are about 7 mu of orchard and 1 mu of vegetable plot,

And also a large vineyard.

Kuaikuai often works in the vegetable garden together with her father and mother,

Whether turning the soil, pruning branches, or winding vines for the grapes,

Although it is tiring, there is a full sense of happiness in her heart.

Effort and reward are always directly proportional.

Therefore, all year round, the family can pick fresh melons, fruits and vegetables.

Green, healthy and delicious!

Pick a handful of tender hyacinth beans, dig up a basket of ripe potatoes from the soil,

Even the pulled radishes still carry morning dew!

Not to mention the various vine-climbing melons and fruits on the trellis,

Under the careful care of Kuaikuai's family, every one of them grew shockingly large!

Besides all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, Kuaikuai's family also raised a few ducklings in the backyard.

Watching them go from tiny tender yellow to a vigorous and spirited appearance,

The satisfaction in her heart is beyond words.

Of course, what Kuaikuai likes most is still the Shiba Inu named "Huangyou Mei."

Kuaikuai said that Youmei was the 18th birthday gift her parents gave her,

What it likes most is romping on the more than 200 sq m of grass in front of the door.

And recently, Youmei also became a mother, giving birth to a litter of cute little ones.

What Kuaikuai's family likes most is hosting friends who come to visit.

Pick a few tender Chinese cabbages from the backyard, gather a few fresh eggs from the grass,

All kinds of vegetables from the backyard vegetable garden all became delicious dishes to entertain guests.

When more and more young people long for bustling city life,

Kuaikuai instead likes to stay cozily in her own home, together with her father, mother and Youmei.

In her spare time, doing a few handicrafts, cooking a dish, growing some flowers, planting some vegetables,

And occasionally inviting friends over for a party.

For Kuaikuai, sitting at home doing what she likes,

Living a quiet and tranquil life,

Lets her feel a happiness and peace she could not experience in the city.

Three meals a day, growing flowers and vegetables, this is the life she longs for.

Huahua hopes that everyone can find the life they truly long for in their heart,

And not just a slogan spoken aloud, nor page after page of plans written on paper.

While there is still time now, go do what you want to do!
