Recently, she spent time in her hometown town and rural hometown.
On my first day home, I looked at the clean country roads, without traffic jams, crowds, tall buildings and endless green wheat seedlings.
both country roads and village streets are very clean and tidy. There are garbage bins in every village, and people clean them every day. When you get home, you will see the spacious courtyard, and you will no longer have to worry about finding a parking space. This is the real livable environment!
there are no high housing prices, no high-rise buildings and very low consumption.
every household appliance in the city is not lacking in the countryside. The housing price in the city remains high. Why do you have to spend hundreds of thousands before you pay a down payment? The rest of the time is used to repay the loan.
1,-2,-3,, which is enough to properly arrange your own farm yard.
But there are still some young people in the village who bought houses in the city.
some people work in the town, that is, in the countryside, and they have to go back to their homes in the city at night.
People with better economic conditions in rural areas now go to the city to buy houses.
I'd rather live in a pigeon coop than in my spacious farmhouse.
why do you want to live in a city?
A friend replied like this: Because there is no natural gas and heating at home in the countryside, others have gone to live in the building and are not cold. You can't let your wife and children freeze at home.
isn't it possible to install radiators in rural areas and burn coal to keep warm?
it would be nice to have central heating.
how convenient life is in the city.
I wonder why they don't live in a single-family villa, but they have to climb the stairs to squeeze the elevator. A friend asked me: Then why don't you come back from Zhengzhou to live in the countryside, or come to Linqing, or go to your husband's countryside? You don't want to go back, do you? We are the same as you.
the same?
I'm just a long-married daughter here. Although I have memories, I no longer have my own home here. I have relatives and friends, and it's ok to stay occasionally.
It's even more impossible to go to my husband's hometown. Most people in the village don't know, are not familiar with, have no memories, and occasionally stay.
Only Zhengzhou is your home. Although there is no big yard, after all, you have your own nest and relatives there.
if I return to my hometown from a big city, I am in a foreign land again.
they are still different from us.
if I were them, I would like to live in the countryside.
Every time I come back, I like the big yard of my hometown very much. In the yard, I can see the moon counting the stars, especially at night, when the moonlight falls, there are occasional barks in the quiet night sky. This is the life we yearn for.
Although I yearn for it, I have been away from home for many years, but I never want to come back to my hometown again.

Why don't you want to go back to your hometown from a big city?
first of all, the convenience of small counties in big cities is incomparable, not to mention the countryside.
Once I took the subway with a friend from other places who came to Zheng, I said: Every time I took the subway, I felt like I was in a big city, just like Beijing and Shanghai.
a friend asked: isn't Zhengzhou a big city?
when it comes to big cities, it always reminds people of going north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Take Zhengzhou, a second-and third-tier city, for example, the convenience of big cities is particularly prominent in terms of transportation, employment and life.
In terms of transportation, Zhengzhou is the provincial capital. Every time you go back to your hometown, you must check the time. At night, the road from the county to the countryside is extremely unsafe, or it is too inconvenient to stay in a hotel.
It doesn't matter if you live in a big city. This situation is avoided in Zhengzhou. No matter what time you get home, there will be a taxi, which is relatively safer.
it's close to the airport, and there are many direct flights all over the country. If you are in your hometown, you can only take a bus to Jinan to fly.
When you look for a job, the information explodes when you search online. Employers can find many homes within one kilometer or two kilometers nearby. If the information is blocked in rural areas or county towns, you will find a job one or twenty miles or more away from home.
besides, in terms of leisure and entertainment, city, elegance and local culture exist. Western food, Chinese food, Henan cuisine and Shandong cuisine can be cooked in hot pot within two kilometers, but in the countryside, there are at most two or three cooking shops in a village, and there are few restaurants in the town. As for the county seat, you can't find a western restaurant or coffee shop without walking three or five blocks and miles.
In life, although it is very convenient to buy things in the countryside now, daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea can be used in the canteen in the village. If you want to buy clothes and other items, you can wait until the market. Compared with the hustle and bustle of big cities, it is still a far cry.
It's easy to spend money in big cities, and it's convenient to save money in small villages.

Although busy people in the city yearn for spacious courtyards and a leisurely and slow life in the countryside, few people who have gone to the city are willing to go back to the countryside.
It's not only because of the change of living environment, but also because of the cultural change.
A friend who is a teacher told me that when relatives and friends have weddings and funerals, they will all attend. If you say that it is inconvenient to go at work, people will say that you are arrogant and please don't move. Some relatives will not understand your difficulties in taking time off from work at all.
in rural areas, there are many kinds of courtesy. In particular, there are many aunts, aunts, uncles and uncles, and there are many social parties every month. The son gets married, the daughter gets married, and the child has a full moon wine and so on. Anyone else who is ill in the hospital has to visit.
Especially when an old man dies, no matter whether the old man was valued or respected before his death, it is extremely beautiful after his death. In the name of honoring the old man, there are funerals, Sanqi, Wuqi, Baiyin, the first anniversary, the third anniversary, the fifth anniversary, ten years, fifteen years, twenty years, twenty-five years and thirty years.
That is to say, except for farming time, you have to go to various parties for a large part of your time. You can't go to the park on weekends, and you can't go to the suburban area. There are very few parks, and there are only one or two in the city. There is nothing to appreciate yet. Even if you travel a hundred miles in Fiona Fang, you may not find any interesting places.
it is even less likely to arrange a long-distance trip. It's okay. Who will spend money just to play? As my father said, who has the luxury, let alone the spare money. If you have money, you have to save it to build a house for your son and marry a daughter-in-law. Those who have completed the task have to save money to help your son raise his grandson, or save money for their own pension.
the low consumption here is also due to low wages and less income. how can we go to high consumption again?
There are not many employment opportunities in small counties or rural areas, and many young people have gone to other places to work.

When the living environment changes, your lifestyle will also change.
You have adapted to the life outside and come back to your hometown. The local customs here are hard to accept.
Although rural life is not as convenient and fast as urban life, this is not the main reason why we can't go back. The external environment is only a small aspect, and the most important thing is the change of concept. The mode of getting along with people here has been difficult for us to adapt.
Living outside, although far away from home, the relationship is simple.
I often envy those who live away from home and have many relatives and friends, but if I really come back here, I feel that this relationship is extremely complicated, just like a huge net. If I am not good at dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships and don't like excitement, like me, it is best to live elsewhere.
