"When I was about to leave this town, I realized that my father had many employees, and many of them were not so wealthy. They just wanted to work on my father's farm to make money, and the agricultural products exported here would also
It feeds many people, including delivery drivers, supermarket cashiers selling goods, and even supermarket cleaners.”
"I have a responsibility to them. I have to keep Kent Farm running as usual in order to maintain their lives. This is the point of view my dad told me, and I have always kept it in mind."
"But essentially, working in the fields day after day has no special meaning to me. It is just a kind of labor that I do to take responsibility. I don't hate it, but I can't say I like it.
In comparison, I still prefer the profession of journalist."
"If I really love farm work, then I will not leave that small town. The children of many farmers there are like this. They will not go to college or go to big cities. They may even live here.
Small town life for a lifetime.”
"Whenever I think of myself having this choice, I feel a little lucky that I came to the metropolis. I like everything here. Maybe I am also tired of Smallville's uneventful life."
"Then I went to Mexico, which was a bit too thrilling, but it brought me the biggest change. It made me finally realize the meaning of digging up the land, sowing seeds, and harvesting crops."
"I once regarded it as a simple labor process because I have never worried about the harvest. The food produced in such a large area is more than our family of three can eat in a lifetime. What can we do if we produce more and less?
"
"Whether there is a good harvest or not is just a number to me. When the number is higher, it means my father will be happier and may buy me new toys, and my uncles will also have smiles on their faces."
"When the harvest was low, they were not particularly unhappy. They would occasionally complain about the weather and encourage each other to come back next year. My father just sighed sadly and soon went back to his room to study how to improve production."
"But this is not the case in Mexico. From the moment the seeds are planted, everyone starts praying with a pious attitude, just so that one corn seedling can bear one more ear."
"Their support for this labor process is so fanatical that it has even spawned a lot of culture that makes no sense at all. Every village will recite different mantras when sowing corn seeds, thinking that they can harvest more."
"When they had a good harvest, they praised the land and the harvest god with a fervor that surpassed any devout believer. That attitude made me feel that even if the harvest god suddenly came and asked them to sacrifice themselves, they would definitely agree."
"And when they had a bad harvest, it wasn't sadness or sorrow at all, but a terrible despair, a kind of tragic pain, a death atmosphere that I had never seen before that made me feel scared.
."
"When I walked through a village like that, I felt that everyone was a zombie. They drifted past me like wandering ghosts, losing all the vitality I usually saw in them, but I couldn't comfort them at all."
"Because I know that in the next period of time, some people will be hungry. Hunger is an emotion that cannot be comforted. You will feel that your stomach is devouring your heart, devouring your brain, devouring everything about you.
Hold your arms and stuff everything you can eat into your mouth."
"Human beings who have been hungry for a long time don't look like humans at all. They look like weird creatures rushing out from another space. Their eyes, behaviors and attitudes are not the same as humans at all. They have been alienated into something else."
thing."
"The look in their eyes terrifies me."
"During our journey south with Oliver, we saw too many such people. They were often scrawny squatting in the corner of the room, covered with rags and lying in the corner of the street, beside the sheepfold and beside the well, using
Staring at you with a straight look."
"For a long time, I didn't dare to look at them like this. When I gave them food, I didn't dare to look at their frantic expressions. It greatly shook my understanding of human beings. They
not like this."
"But later, we fed a lot of these people, and I realized that the problem was not with them, but with their chronically empty stomachs."
"Food is the best weapon to expel the devil that is entangled in them. When they see the harvest of food and calculate that there is enough food for them to share, the fire in their eyes is so strong that they want to burn themselves
soul."
"At that moment, I deeply understood the meaning behind the labor of the farming process, which is a kind of hope."
“When we are cultivating the land, we imagine the wheat seedlings sprouting. As soon as the wheat sprouts break out of the ground, we imagine them growing taller and bigger. As soon as the wheat seedlings change color, we already imagine the scene of heavy wheat ears weighing them down. As soon as the wheat ears enter,
basket, the aroma of rice has already wafted into my nose."
"There has never been a job in this world that is so full of hope, full of gratitude, and so moving from beginning to end."
"When I returned to Smallville, when I saw the land that grew my food, I felt so excited that I wanted to cry."
?????55.?????
"I felt like I couldn't wait to go to the fields, bury the seeds in the fertile soil that had been carefully tended with my own hands, sit on the edge of the field, wait for the seeds to germinate, and watch the whole process of their growth without blinking.
Eat a big bowl of rice when you are most hungry and tired.”
Clark's blue eyes shone with a warm luster, like the last touch of blue blended into the afterglow of the setting sun. Schiller had to look away slightly, damn blue eyes.
"For a long time after that, when I saw every piece of farmland, I would start to mentally calculate what to plant in this field, when to start planting, how many months to harvest, and how much to harvest per acre on average...
Later, I even got to the point where I started thinking about how many cabbages I could plant when I saw other people’s flower pots.”
"My particularly enthusiastic mood was noticed by my father. I told him about my experience in Mexico and he said that I did a good job. He also told me about his love for the land."
"The Kent family is different from the Mexicans. We have already passed the stage of having enough to eat. Farming is like a heritage for us. From my great-grandfather, grandfather to my father, our family has been doing this for generations.
Working on the ground.”
"Such an ordinary piece of land has raised us for several generations, allowed us to build such a large farm and ranch, allowed my father to become a quite famous farmer, and also allowed me to go to big cities and see a broader world.
world."
"This makes me feel very amazing, because farming is a fairly simple work and the food production process is not complicated, but it can do such great things."
"This made me gradually begin to understand the fanaticism of those Mexicans. The land is so tolerant and kind and has given us so much, but everyone seems to have ignored this."
"There is no civilization in the world that does not have its roots in the land. It has remained the same for thousands of years. It is the foundation for people to build complex and exquisite ant nests, rain or shine, without asking for anything in return."
"This shocked me and made me humble. If there is only one god in this world that human beings should truly revere and worship, it would not be above their heads, but under their feet."
"The sky and the earth are so vast that everything seems extremely small. Compared with the land that has raised all mankind, there is no difference between me and those mediocre worker ants in the ant nest."
"Every time I think of this place, I feel a sense of security that makes me feel at ease, because when I walk on this land, when I work here, when the seeds I sow sprout, when I am in this boundless world
Time is still an insignificant ephemera, it nourishes me just like it nourishes you, there is no difference between me and you."
"I am no longer a rule defender who enforces the justice in my heart. I am no longer your father, but a son of the land just like you. This makes me feel relaxed and happy."
"Perhaps this will be the biggest difference between me and other supermen." Clark said with a smile: "It's not whether we use violent means, but why we do it."
"If I regard myself as a god, the prerequisite for maintaining impartiality is to stay outside this society, be a bystander who sees the whole picture, and become an existence like wind, frost, rain and snow."
"And if I only regard myself as a child just like you in this world, I can use my own means to pursue the justice I want, just like you, and fight for me and my compatriots at all costs.
"
"There is a big difference. I will no longer be a judge of justice, and my justice may no longer be axioms. If this society has formulated some rules that prohibit this, I will certainly prohibit everyone from doing so.
In this way, unless the vast majority of people in this society choose this, I will definitely think this is right."
"After this, I will only have one rule. There should be no hunger devils that haunt human beings in this world. They should get the nutrients they should have from the land under their feet. There is no greater justice than having a full meal.
"
"If it's different from a certain social rule, I'm going to overturn that rule, and if it's not someone's choice, I'm going to fight those people, and that's what I'm going to do."
"As for violent methods, you don't need to worry so much." Clark's tone began to become cold, and he said: "My brain is thousands of times more efficient at mobilizing and controlling limbs than humans. I can do it right now."
Any strength testing equipment that can print out the precise value to the number of decimal places they want."
"My mental state is also very stable. My emotional operation logic and output method are clearer and healthier than 99% of people in the world. I will not lose control at all."
"Then you are too humble." Schiller said from the bottom of his heart: "Believe in yourself, you are much more stable than all human beings, whether it is an individual among them or their integrated whole, whether it is individual consciousness or collective consciousness,
It’s hard to be healthier than you.”
Such a straightforward attitude made Clark feel a little embarrassed. He looked at Schiller and said, "Really? Doctor, do you think so highly of me?"
"You have to believe me, I may be unscrupulous, but I am definitely not a quack."
