Chapter 59 The fifty-eighth roof that can shelter from the rain

Brother Zhiyuan, a disciple of Master Zhiyuan, works in real estate in Shanghai.I remember one time he chatted with the townspeople in the Buddhist hall and talked about the housing prices there. The price he said shocked the surrounding townspeople. Everyone said that the houses in the city were built with gilded bricks. ?Otherwise why is it so expensive. Speaking of which, although our Miao Town is not big, the population is not large. Therefore, compared with the urban residents, the housing area of ​​the town residents is not small, but the cost of building a house is much less than that of the urban residents.

Some benefactors with better economic conditions in the town will buy a piece of land and build a single-family two or three-story small building. There are about a dozen such small buildings in the town, and they are basically concentrated in the southwest of the town.Because most of them are construction teams contacted by themselves, the styles of these houses are very different, but each house will build a small yard. Most people in Miao Town love flowers and trees, so every household will plant some flowers and trees in the yard, and carry some rocks for decoration. Flowers and trees are not only planted in the yard, but also outside the yard. Some flowers and plants are planted along the courtyard wall. When the flowers bloom, this place can be regarded as a unique scenery.

There is an old benefactor in the town. His son works in Beijing and earns a lot, so he sent some money to his parents in his hometown to build a house.Last year, old benefactor Xu also bought a piece of land and built a new house. Old benefactor Xu's new house is large and well-built, but there is one thing that is different from the neighbors' houses. The courtyard wall of old benefactor Xu's house is very special. The eaves on the side of the yard protrude a long way Cut, many people do not understand why this design. One time, old benefactor Xu came to Tianming Temple as a guest, and everyone asked him about the eaves. Old benefactor Xu proudly told everyone that if it rained, the long eaves on the yard would make it easier for passers-by to shelter from the rain.Everyone suddenly realized, and praised the old benefactor for his thoughtfulness.

After another period of time, I once went to Miao Town in Jiechen. When I passed by the old benefactor’s house, I accidentally found that although there were many flowers and plants planted by the wall of the old benefactor’s courtyard like other benefactors, those flowers and plants grew very well. Extremely bad, I accidentally looked at the eaves, and suddenly realized that it was because the overly long eaves blocked the sunlight. The eaves, which can prevent rain, will also block the sun. Many things, good and bad are actually mixed together. We blindly want to keep the bad things out, but in fact we reject the good things together.
