20 years ago, if there were two sons in the family:
20 years ago, if there were two sons in the family, it would be really enviable. There are both laborers and heirlooms, and the family walks differently from others. Especially in rural areas, those who have sons bully those who do not have sons in their families.
I remember that there was such a family in my rural hometown and gave birth to two sons in three years. The young and old in this family are really happy to keep their mouths together. The two sons are growing up slowly**, and they are also a talent. But because of the influence of his parents, and because he doesn't have much culture, he is a bit domineering in the village, doing things and watching people put dishes. Especially some neighbors who don't have sons at home are even more angry.
Because the eldest wants to get married, he needs to build a new house, and it is understandable to build a house on his own homestead, and no one can control it. But you can't go beyond the area and occupy the neighbor's land. The next-door neighbor saw that his land was occupied, so he naturally came to the door to ask for an explanation. As a result, the problem was not solved, but it was blasted out and almost beaten.
Of course, this is a matter of the old imperial calendar, and now it is a society governed by the rule of law, and this situation is gradually decreasing. But in the general environment at that time, this situation abounded, and this was the result of the absence of a son at home.
Twenty years ago, there was only a family with two daughters.
20 years ago, there were only 2 daughters in the family, and the child's mother was wronged and bullied.
The eldest sister gave birth to two girls, and she had no one to serve her during confinement, and she was poor at that time, let alone invite a confinement sister-in-law. Mother-in-law because the eldest sister gave birth to a girl, the child has never been covered, let alone helping to take care of the child.
The eldest sister not only has to watch the children, but also has to work in the field, and she also has to listen to the rumors of the neighbors, and the wind in her husband's ears, saying that the eldest sister did not renew the incense for their Wang family, and she is sorry for the ancestors.
But now, let's take a look at it, it's really changed. 20 years later, the parents of the two sons are still pouting their butts and desperately making money, buying a car and a house for their two sons to prepare a bride price to marry their daughter-in-law, and they have to look at their daughter-in-law's face every day, lest one day the daughter-in-law run away and become the daughter-in-law of another family.
The two sons of the neighbor I mentioned above did not do well later, and the eldest and second married a daughter-in-law. The parents worked part-time to make money, and finally married the eldest daughter-in-law, but within two years, the daughter-in-law ran away with others. The younger son is okay, he married his daughter-in-law and went to the big city, but he didn't come back once a year, as if he didn't have this son. This old couple, both in their 60s, is still not idle, and they want to make money to pay off the mortgage for their son. Look, this is the result of raising two sons in the first place.
And the parents of two daughters, the daughter and son-in-law are filial, and the parents can't finish eating at home. The refrigerator has changed one stubble after another, and the old couple should not live too happily.
My eldest sister and her family now have to travel twice a year and have a physical check-up once a year. The daughter and son-in-law took them, and that was really filial piety. The old couple is so beautiful that they can't close their mouths every day. When I meet people, I praise my son-in-law for being filial.
In short, the situation of each family is different, and the economic situation is also different, I hope that all parents in the world have a happy and peaceful life in their old age!
