After the 90s, the wave of decompression is set off: five days to work, return home on weekends to plant land

Work burnout, monotonous life, limited long -distance travel,

In the past two years,

More and more people living in big cities,

Began to explore another way of lifestyle:

When the farmer, weekend farmer, go to the countryside to live in seclusion ...

▲ Kunming, full -time mother Danny (middle) and other mothers organized a group to grow

▲ Jindang County, Sichuan, Sensen and Mom return to live in the countryside every weekend

▲ Since the beginning of "City Five Township 2"

Danny's children are more cheerful and lively

Live in the city on working days, return to the country on weekends,

This life of "Chengwu Five Township",

It has gradually become a trend,

We interviewed several post -90s generations that were practicing the "Five Township of the City".

They found a relaxation in such a life,

There are also new hopes.

My husband and I work in the Internet industry, and I have been in the environment of the inside every day. Working overtime at 12 o'clock in the evening, resting on weekends, very tired every day.

I have resigned once in 2019 because I have been asking myself: Do I really want to live like this? Am I really longing for the achievements in the workplace? the answer is negative.

Fortunately, my husband and I thought the same thoughts. In the future, our ideal life is to have a small house with a yard. There are several acres of land in front of the door, raising two dogs, and doing freelance. The two of us are the combination of product managers with programmers, can do independent development, and I will start writing. It is very happy to accompany someone to do this.

Tian Tian and her husband often take two dogs outdoors

To achieve such a life, at least two preparations must be available: sufficient funds and farming.

So we made a transition plan: the second of the city.

I went back to work again, saved money on working days, and publicly saved money on the station B. The goal was to save 3.8 million.

By the weekend, you will choose to go to the farmer a day, and come back after planting.

At the same time, we started to watch some movies and books, such as "Clarkson's Farm", "Little Forest", "Fruit of Life", and found that in Japan, the life of "Five Township Township" is quite common.

It can also be considered in advance, because we think Beijing is not livable, and the price of rent is relatively expensive. The future plan is to live in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

The two of us rented a piece of land outside the Sixth Ring Road in Chaoyang District, and drove for about 30 minutes. The local farm owner contracted a large area and then rented out. We rented the 30 square meters of them, more than 2,000 yuan a year.

Tiantian started to plant balcony at home at the beginning

The two of us are typical Internet thinking, so we will not do one thing like others. Before the official start, we will definitely demonstrate it to see if it is feasible and suitable for us. So we were planted on the balcony at first.

When planting vegetables on the balcony, we will also take some photos to record their growth process. Later, I felt that I could only plan on the balcony. Moreover, there are very few Nanda platform in Beijing, the light is insufficient, and the plants are not good.

The two of us searched online and wanted to find a place where we can make us free. So I found this farmland now. And some people in the farm will teach us about planting knowledge and skills. Many things need to be practiced, and there is no tutorial on the Internet.

Tiantian -breed dishes start germination and grow

After the weekend farmer, the happiness of both of us increased significantly. I used to be a product manager, and I deal with various people everyday. I did n’t have the opportunity to contact nature. I might be at home on the weekend and brushed my mobile phone one day. Now we will look forward to the arrival of the weekend, very hopeful.

By the morning of the weekend, we are very motivated to get up earlier than work. At 8 o'clock, we are preparing to bring things to bring, such as scissors, gloves, sunscreen clothes.

In the spring stubble and autumn stubble, the most important job in the ground is to turn the ground, sprinkle fat, and then build a rampura according to the vegetables we want to grow. Finally, you can sow. When tomatoes and peppers grow to a certain time, they must go to the side branches. Dolls need to catch insects regularly.

Turn on the ground is a bit of bitterness

After starting to plant land, it is not so easy to be a farmer. It is actually very hard to turn the ground. One winter passed, and the land was lined. We need to take a iron pupa, all step on, turn the soil over, and then break and make evenly. Once we called two friends, it took 5 hours to turn the ground.

Another difficulty is that different dishes have different planting methods. Some dishes are placed in a flat place, and some are planted on both sides. And sometimes the seeds are buried too deep, it is not easy to grow. If it is too shallow, it may be washed away as soon as it is watering, so it is necessary to grasp this degree.

We will also give it back to the friends around you.

Tian Tian is keen to make food, vegetables are self -cultivation and self -cultivation

In the past two years, this self -sufficient lifestyle seems to have become popular. Think of it before it seemed too far away from nature.

By the weekend, it takes one afternoon to plant land. This is a pure physical labor. The whole process only needs to pay attention to how to plant it well. For people like us who are usually brainstorming, they are very decompressed.

At that time, the eyes were full of green, and some elderly people around the surrounding people had to plant land. People and plants are natural and leisurely. I watched the seeds I sowed began to germinate, gave birth to branches and leaves, and grew fruit, and my mentality would change accordingly -I still have the right to choose from life. I can take care of it and make it different. It is possible.

I am a full -time mother in the 90s. The child is 3 years old and now lives in Kunming.

After the epidemic began, it was not convenient to travel long distances and did not dare to take him to the indoor amusement park, so he began to take him outdoors.

There are specific plans every weekend, such as going to the park picnic and going to the reservoir to hike. Every time you go to nature, you will be particularly happy. The feeling will make people addicted.

Once we went to a rural areas in the outskirts of Kunming. Some of the villagers there were from other places, and some had rented land over there for more than ten years. Their state of life was very pleasant.

I also have a yearning, I want to rent a small yard, and there is a home that is in nature. Every weekend, I can take children to outdoor activities to live a life that is not in the city.

Danny's farm outside the farm

Later, I found out for half a year in succession, and finally found a place where one hour's drive from Kunming City was rented.

The yard was surrounded by a 560 -mu large park at the foot of the mountain, walking from the entrance of the park along the muddy path from the entrance of the park, and the Eriyuan on both sides. There are hundreds of acres of farmland, which are divided into watermelon gardens and vegetable gardens.

In the small courtyard, there are more than 20 cherry trees, 1 ancient mulberry tree, and a green stone tile house. Behind the yard is the undulating hill, only a little higher than the yard's wall. The yard is like growing from the field.

Many parents and children on weekends to picnic together

There is an ideal position. On the one hand, children can contact nature in a safe place. Where did the vegetables bought from the supermarket come from? These vegetables are not without any public harm, they also need pesticides and experience four seasons.

I want children to understand the real foundation of our lives, know what we desire to live, and how to create it. So we immediately decided to rent this yard and name the "Little Farm".

Photos before and after farm yard renovation

At that time, we also transformed the farm. Because there used to be a breeding area, it has been abandoned for nearly two years, and weeds are overwhelmed, and many animal feces are left. We spent 3 months weeding, paving lawn, and transforming houses.

There is a bluestone rubble room of more than 100 square meters in the yard. After renovation and renovation, it is now a meal and leisure area. It can accommodate about 50 people. We will live inside on weekends.

Later, I had more contact with nature, and the change of children was obvious. Before, he would be relatively restrained and shy. Sometimes when he saw a stranger, he might pull the brim of the hat. He was unwilling to say hello to others. When he saw other children, he was worried that he was worried about coming. Grab your own toys. Now he will be more open and proactive to talk to other children, and he is more willing to share.

Children have weekends on the farm

In recent years, Dali's natural education has been very popular. I found that many parents in first and second -tier cities will take their children to study Dali to let their children get close to nature and release nature. For example, go to plant vegetables, pick, camping trace stream ...

In June this year, I took my child to studying in Dali and learned some concepts about parent -child natural education.

Slowly, more and more parents around me will go to my farm to play. I think the farm may be able to operate systematically. And the child is about to go to kindergarten. I have been a full -time mother for so many years and hope to return to society again.

Danny and another full -time mother took their children to be outdoors

Before becoming a full -time mother, I worked as an art teacher in a school. At that time, I worked very freely and had only two days a week, but that was not the state I wanted. I still wanted to create personal value.

I am a good neighbor, and I used to be a math teacher in a primary school before. We all have relatively rich teaching experience. So when we shot, we felt that they could cooperate. Welcome more parents and children to come to the farm for weekends.

It is not the same as Dali experience natural education. We will set teaching solutions. For example, use nature to open the child's five senses. Over the subject, extend learning around a theme. If we surround the oranges today, we will go to a piece of orange forest, take the children to understand the shape of the orange tree, and then observe the color and shape of the oranges and take them to sketch.

After that, we will let our children use the sense of smell, use orange peel, leaves, and other spices they want to make fragrance. You will also use oranges to teach low -age children to mathematics, such as counting orange petals.

The life of "Five Townships of the City" gave me a different meaning. I set up a home for my children in nature, and I can study and go in the countryside without restraint every weekend. I also found a career outside the full -time mother and started a new stage of my life.

I usually work in a photography studio in the city and return to the countryside for two days with my mother on the weekend. Work and life can be switched at will, which is very happy in my opinion.

At the age of 17, his father died of illness, and the family in the mountains became a sad place for the whole family. Mom also felt that she could not continue to read books with my sister alone. The three of us left the mountain village to live in the county. ▲

Jinsang County is affiliated with Chengdu, and it is only 50 kilometers from Chengdu. There are about 800,000 people. Compared with mountain villages, county seat life is much more convenient, and it has developed very modern. I am soaked in a relatively fast rhythm every day. A very quiet place.

Two years later, I went to college in other provinces. After graduating, I returned to my hometown to work in a new media company for two years. Sometimes there is no work task, but I have to consume empty in the office, and feel that I am in duke.

Handmade works made by plant leaves

Later, I resigned as a free photographer. I will contact people from all walks of life to shoot products, buildings, and corporate promotional videos. The time schedule is random. For example, once you need to take the natural spring water of the hometown. From finalization of cooperation to completing shooting, it took two months to take two or three days. The time was waiting. The state of standby cannot arrange your life with peace of mind.

Although I am doing my favorite photography work, it is not like creating, because customers always have their own persistence. And I can only modify it according to the opinions of the other party.

The natural scenery of the countryside shot by Sensen

In fact, I prefer to shoot natural scenery. All the creations of nature can be fixed, and what you see is obtained. Sometimes you can take unexpected pictures.

I remembered the land I was waiting for when I was a kid. That big mountain, I don't know what happened there now, I want to go back and see. Maybe, nature can also give me some photography inspiration. Maybe I can also use the camera to record the scenery and food in the mountains and introduce my hometown to more people.

My mother and I have nothing to talk about. After discussing with her, she agreed to accompany me back to live for two days a week. It only takes half an hour to drive each time.

The interior of the home in the mountains in Dashan

After a lapse of 3 years, my hometown has changed, but I can still feel the warmth and happiness of my childhood. At that time, the cow, a daze hillside, the dam where you chased me with your friends, and the scene of playing hiding from the green tiles at dusk.

However, in my childhood memory, there were many young people and children in my neighbor's house, and now there are only some older people who stay there.

Sen Sen and mother do farm work in the field

One day I went to the grandfather's house. They leaned on the bedside and turned off the lights. Occasionally, the room was only shown on their faces in the room.

Such a picture is only in my childhood memory, and every time I see it, I feel particularly warm and peaceful.

Our houses are surrounded by vegetables and trees. My mother and I broadcast twice a year to get fruits and vegetables that meet the four seasons. There are a cluster of bamboo and a ditch in front of the door, and there will be rainy rain in the rainy season.

The house in the house is a two -story building that was repaired more than 10 years ago. The front is covered with rice white tiles. It is not picky and comfortable. The parts on both sides of the room are used for kitchen and firewood. I planted three wild persimmon trees in front of the door, and now it has grown to three floors high. I feel very fulfilled.

Because in the mountains, everyone drinks mountain spring water, and the mother also deliberately picked up a small water pipe. When the neighbor's third uncle drew the water, he would also lead to the water tank at home by the way. We gradually restore the former mountain life.

Plow on yourself, harvested vegetables and fruits

Sometimes when I go back, I am dazed in the flowers and plants in the yard. On the side is the voice of chatting with my mother and neighbors. I will feel very secure. At that moment, I do n’t need to face the complication of any work. trouble.

Recalling that when I was young, I did n’t have a special feeling of life in the mountains. Every day, every day, they passed like that every day. The family lived together. My parents worked with farmers. I have never thought about what it means.

However, as I left a few years ago, I went to school, worked, and slowly grew up and then returned here. Many childhood memories were like inverted bands. One picture and one picture flashed from the eyes. I suddenly cherished and grateful. Now I see the flowers, birds, fish, insects, and grass, and I will observe and look seriously. I will also draw out to examine my life.
