The beautiful environment and life in the countryside are memorable. What impressed me most after living in the countryside for decades are some old sayings. Whenever the elders are busy with farm work, they will get together in groups of three or five. These old sayings are often their talk, passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, just like some classic enlightenment songs, which pass on admonitions to future generations and interpret wise philosophy. These old sayings are more like pieces of broken jade, flashing between the lines.

What does the old rural saying "cook when you are full" mean?

There is an old saying in the countryside that you are full. Beating a cook means that someone ate your own food and stabbed you in the back. These people have really gone too far. People really do sometimes.

It actually makes sense. This sentence is used to describe a grown-up child who has no conscience and only asks his parents for money and doesn't know how to repay him. It's also interesting to say that when a person is full, he will beat up the cook who cooks for him and criticize those people for not being grateful, and then you will bite back after others help you. Such people are often the easiest to be looked down upon.

There are indeed many such examples around us. I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients, who knew the existence of pathogens at that time. It can be said that this is their wisdom in life.
