It is often mentioned by the older generation that in their time, there were often some running water seats in the countryside. This is also because the living conditions in those years were relatively poor. Only when there is a happy event at home will they hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends to attend, so that they can see food that they can't eat in daily life.

At that time, the money for attending banquets was basically tens of hundreds of yuan, and I couldn't open my eyes when I saw the dishes on the table.

At that time, there were often men boxing and drinking together, women chatting together, and children burying their heads in eating.

This kind of atmosphere is particularly enviable and cannot be enjoyed by cities.

Nowadays, many old people in rural areas say that rural banquets are becoming more and more impersonal. These old people always feel that the banquet is too cold and few people are willing to attend.

I went back to my hometown to attend a banquet two days ago. When it is time to eat, most people bow their heads and play with their mobile phones, and there is no communication with each other.

Children, including now, are not as enthusiastic as before when they see the dishes on the dining table, and now the rural banquets have also dropped several grades. Why are banquets in rural areas out of fashion now? Nothing more than these reasons.

First, the reason for driving

With the development of the times, after the living conditions of most residents are getting better and better, some families begin to buy houses in cities.

Nowadays, most rural families have bought cars, except those who have settled in cities through their own efforts.

After all, cars can save a lot of time, and now the traffic is more and more convenient.

For those young people who have already lived in the city, they have received invitations from their hometown, and most of them will drive home to attend banquets.

But now the traffic in our country is very strict. These people all know that they can't drink while driving, and for the safety of themselves and others, the men at the wine table basically don't drink now.

Often there are the most bottles left on the table after dinner, and almost no one opens them.

There are also many men who regard driving as a reason not to drink. In the past, this kind of atmosphere in society also needed to be set off by drinking. Only by drinking will they find eating more exciting.

Second, the population is declining.

Secondly, it is because the rural population loss is particularly serious now. Basically, young people in rural areas have gone out to work, and the voices of young people in rural areas are relatively small, while those who stay in rural areas are some old people and children.

These old people are reluctant to go out when they are invited by others again. At most, they will give their money to others. These old people prefer to stay at home with their grandchildren.

For those young people who work in other places, they will definitely not ask for leave from their boss for a meal.

Most of these young people use WeChat to transfer money and submit it first, which is also the courtesy of rural people.

As a result, the number of people on the rural wine table has been greatly reduced. I could have sat at ten tables, but now I can only concentrate on five tables.

Third, there are too many kinds.

There are more and more kinds of banquets in rural areas now. In the past, society only hosted banquets on such important occasions as getting married and having children.

After all, catering is also a particularly troublesome thing. Now all the children who have moved from the countryside have driver's licenses and so on. In this case, catering is necessary, and some people have regarded it as a prop to make money.

Now rural people are also fighting for banquets, and they are still wondering whether the money they have left can be returned.

For ordinary villagers to participate in too many banquets, they will be even more disgusted. After a long time, they will not be so interested and enthusiastic when they hear the banquet again.

Those who are still willing to attend the banquet must be close relatives and friends. We must cherish each other's feelings.

Fourth, the cost is high

My friend figured out how much money he needs to spend on human relations in a year. Nowadays, the more banquets there are in rural areas, the more money people have to attend.

Their relatives, friends and children may get married or have other things, and now their money can't be less than 200.

According to their calculations, it costs about 10,000 yuan a year on human relations, which is also a huge expense for ordinary rural families.

Moreover, they don't often go to parties in their daily lives, and they can't get back the money every time they go out. These people are out of balance.

It is for the above reasons that banquets in rural areas are no longer popular, and the feelings between people are no longer so pure.

Summary:

Now the residents are not so interested in the dishes at the banquet, and they have eaten enough in their daily life. It seems that the villagers only know how to compare and ask for each other.

We can't change the present situation in the countryside, so we can only accept it calmly.
