There are 3 types of people in the countryside who are enviable, and the third category is surprising and worthy.
Foreword: Life is rich and colorful, and rural areas are full of all kinds of people, three of whom are enviable. Living conditions in rural areas are not as good as in cities, from employment opportunities to sanitation to access to prosperity and social security. However, not all rural people live in poverty and hardship, and not all rural people can live a prosperous life. In fact, there are special people in every group, and the countryside is no exception, and these people are the envy of many villagers. In this era when everyone is on the run for a living, these people not only live a leisurely and prosperous life, but also have strong economic power. Next, let's take a look at how these three types of rural people are unexpected and enviable.
Village Council: Dual ownership of power and wealth.
There are currently about 2 million natural villages in rural China, and each natural village has a village cadre, forming a huge group of millions of village cadres across the country. In some places, village cadres may not be particularly conspicuous, but in every village, they are undoubtedly the envy of the villagers. Village cadres are the managers of the positions and the owners of resourcesThey control the resources of the village collective and represent the wealth of the village collective. They are not only the operators of the countryside, but also the spokesmen of the state in the countryside, so they have become the envy of the people in the village. Many village cadres do not have to go to work every day, and can take care of their families after work, drink and play cards, live a leisurely life, and have a considerable income in their hands. Such a life is undoubtedly desirable, so village cadres have become a dream profession for many people.
Returning to retirement: money and leisure.
In recent years, many people have moved from the countryside to the cities to earn a living, but there are also a significant number of people who choose to return to the countryside after retirement. Among the retirees who have returned to their hometowns, there are a large number of retired workers from enterprises, public institutions, and government agencies, and the monthly pensions they receive are the envy of rural residents. Compared with the monthly pension of several hundred yuan for the elderly in rural areas, the pension of retired workers is indeed enviable for several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan per month. At the same time, these retirees can also go out for frequent travel or fishing, which is in stark contrast to the lifestyle of the old farmers. As a result, their wealth and leisure time were the envy of rural society.
Five guarantees for poor families: a life without hurry.
Poor families, five-guarantee households, especially those who have nothing to do all day and live on state subsidies, although they live in poverty, their unhurried pace of life is enviable. They regularly enter the commissary and chess and card room every day, and they have become frequent customers at the wine table and the fulcrum on the card table. Wandering around, eating, drinking, and merrymaking seems to be a silhouette of their wonderful lives. At the same time, although they are not wealthy, they can also enjoy considerable subsidies every month, and an additional income of several hundred yuan or even thousands of yuan, so that their lives are more comfortable. As poor households and five-guarantee households, they have no children to take care of, but their lives are more comfortable than most rural elderly people. During the New Year's holidays, they can enjoy grain, oil, rice and noodles without worrying about basic daily necessities. They do not have to pay medical insurance and pension insurance, and their later life is guaranteed. On the other hand, most elderly people in rural areas often face situations such as their children not returning home often, the need to continue working, and the difficulty of maintaining pensions. It can be said that although the poor households and the five guarantees households are poor, their lives are relatively comfortable. Although these three categories of people are enviable, they also reflect the reality of low living standards, low incomes, and unequal social security benefits for rural residents. In particular, these problems are more serious for the elderly in rural areas. As a result, many people envy those who live a laid-back life and are financially affluent.
In short, in the countryside, there are some people who live a leisurely and prosperous life that is the envy of other villagers. From the power and wealth of village cadres, to the economic security and leisure time of those who have returned to their hometowns for the elderly, to the subsidies and generous living conditions of poor households and five-guarantee households, the lifestyle and resource advantages of these people are desirable. However, we must also be aware that this is only a small fraction of the rural population, and the majority of rural residents still face poverty and hardship. Therefore, we must continue to work to improve the living conditions of rural residents, raise their income levels, and enable more people to live happily ever after.
