In the vast rural land, there are many old sayings full of wisdom, which are short and concise, but contain the life philosophy that has been passed down from generation to generation by peasant friends.
Among them,"Three do not borrow".It is a well-known saying that tells us that there are three things in life that cannot be easily lent, otherwise the family may suffer misfortune as a result. Today, let's take a look at the profound meaning behind this.
Lao Zhang is an authentic farmer, he is honest and honest, and he has always been helpful. But he is such a good person, but because of an accidental "loan", he let himself fall into an unexpected turmoil.
That day, the neighbor Xiao Li hurriedly came and said that the family's ploughing cattle were suddenly sick, but now it is the critical moment of spring ploughing, how can you do it without ploughing cattle?Xiao Li anxiously begged Lao Zhang: "Brother Zhang, can you lend me a few days of your cattle first?"When my cow is cured, I will return it to you immediately. "Lao Zhang has always treated Xiao Li as his own brother, thinking that they are all neighbors, who doesn't have a problem?So I agreed without hesitation.
However, things were not as simple as Lao Zhang expected. Xiao Li's cattle are very sick, and they have been delayed again and again, and they have not been able to return it after the spring plowing season. And the old Zhang family's fields were greatly reduced because they missed the opportunity. What made Lao Zhang's heart hurt even more was that his own cattle were also exhausted because of Xiao Li's improper use. The two families, which were originally harmonious, planted the seeds of discord.
This is exactly what is said in the old rural saying "three do not borrow"."Borrow cattle and don't plough the fields",If you lend your cattle to plough the fields, you are likely to delay your farm work and damage your cattle.
In addition to "borrowing cattle and not plowing the fields", "three non-borrowing" also includes".Borrowing a car does not transport grain"And".Borrowing money does not return to the hometown
First of all, "borrowing a car does not transport grain". As we all know, in the past, when rural transportation was scarce, a cart or carriage was a large asset for the farmer.
If you lend your car to someone else to transport food, if you encounter an accident and damage the car, it will not only affect your livelihood, but also may lead to the breakdown of family or friendship due to maintenance costs and other issues.
Again, "borrow money and don't return home", this sentence means that don't easily lend money to those who plan to leave their hometown. Because once they leave their homeland and go to a strange place, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be able to repay the money in time.
Moreover, even if they are willing to repay the loan, they may not be able to meet the deadline for various reasons. As a result, the borrower often suffers a financial loss and may not even get the principal back.
Through Lao Zhang's story and the detailed interpretation of "three don't borrow", we can see the profound meaning of this old rural saying. It actually reminds us to always be vigilant and rational in our daily lives, and not to be easily swayed by emotions and make decisions that may harm our own interests. At the same time, the "three no-borrowing" also reflects the valuable experience and wisdom summed up by farmers in their long-term production and life.
Of course, the "three no-borrowing" does not mean that we become ruthless and selfish, but that we want toWhile we help others, we should also fully consider our own actual situation and long-term interests. After all, in real life, examples of "good intentions doing bad things" are not uncommon.
Therefore, the "three non-borrowing" is more of a manifestation of life wisdom and attitude towards life.
In this era of rapid development, the old saying "three do not borrow" still has a clear practical significance and warning effect. It tells us to protect ourselves when we help othersKeep a clear head when facing the entanglement of family, friendship and interests;While pursuing harmonious interpersonal relationships, we should also pay attention to self-protection.
