A simple life is a true lifeSpring sowing, a simple but meaningful story, describes the first day of the first spring sowing of a newly-wedded couple against the background of a traditional agricultural country. Although the development of the story is flat without any suspense, just describing a whole day of spring sowing, but their life and dreams are fully revealed by the detailed description, such as their talks, behaviors and thoughts. The story can be divided into four parts. Part one was the description of the setting of the story and the introduction of the two main characters of the story. The next part mainly told us about the young couples preparation for the work of spring sowing after their breakfast. The third part was the detailed description of their first day of spring sowing work. They worked very hard and were hopeful with their future. In addition, the author also described the different thought between the couple, especially the feelings of Mary. The last part described that they finished the work of the first day of the first spring sowing.For Mary and Martin Delaney, as this important day will show what kind of wife or husband they have had, so theyre excited and a bit nervous about the spring sowing. Above all, as theyre hoping for a fruitful autumn and a good beginning of their new life, so they work so hard regardless of the pain and fatigue from the dawn to dark. Spring sowing, in some ways, for them, means sow the hope of their life, their future. They have the typical farmers virtues. Theyre painstaking, hardworking, frugal and responsible.After reading this story, frankly speaking, the life in the story just the one Im looking for all the time, simple but real, toilsome but meaningful.

Definitely, the happiness, in fact, is simple and easy. Dont always r
