With the development of rural society and economic growth, more and more people have a certain economic foundation. However, in this era of the pursuit of face and material abundance, some rural people are not satisfied with ordinary life and begin to chase so-called wealth. And this pursuit often leads to some people's behavior of showing off their wealth, causing a certain amount of trouble to themselves and society. This article will introduce four ways to show off your wealth in rural areas, and delve into the reasons and effects behind them.
With the advantage of owning homesteads, rural people often choose to build luxury villas in the countryside to show off their wealth. They took advantage of the spacious homestead and built a house like a villa in the city. The interior of the villa is not only luxuriously decorated, the furniture is novel, but also equipped with a spacious and borderless large yard, planting flowers and vegetables, raising chickens and ducks, and life seems to be very convenient. However, most of these so-called villas were not built by the real wealthy, but for the sake of comparison and face. Villager A's family is really rich and has built a three-story small building, so the three households will compete with each other, and there may be four-story small buildings, four-story villas and other behaviors. These so-called "fake rich people" did not hesitate to borrow money to build houses in order to compare themselves and save face, which led to an increase in family debt. This kind of comparison phenomenon is widespread in rural areas, highlighting the rural people's temperament to show off their wealth.
Marriage is a major event in rural life, and in order to impress the guests, they often choose to hold a grand banquet. A reasonable table usually includes small snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds, candy, 8 cold dishes, 8 hot dishes, 5 steamed bowls and 2 soups, as well as drinks and steamed buns. In order to save face and show off their wealth, some rural people will increase the size of the banquet and the number of dishes beyond the normal level. Some banquets even reach 60 to 90 tables, and waste and over-scale phenomena are not uncommon. Although this kind of flaunting of wealth leaves a deep impression on guests, it also creates a waste of resources and an unnecessary burden.
The sight of luxury vehicles parked in front of dilapidated houses in the countryside has a comical feel. Many rural families already have the financial strength to buy high-end vehicles, but in order to pursue the admiration and attention of others, they have broken the bank to buy million-dollar luxury cars. Some people even borrow money to buy it, just so that others can see that they are "rich". However, this kind of comparison and ostentatious behavior ignores financial strength and living needs, leading to the family's financial difficulties.
There is also a phenomenon of comparison between rural people in gift-giving. Instead of choosing a gift based on the actual needs of the other person, some people choose expensive and luxurious gifts to show off their financial strength. They hope to arouse people's onlookers and envy by giving large and small gifts. This kind of comparison not only creates a waste of resources, but also puts pressure and burden on others.
It is understandable that rural people pursue affluence and ostentation, but this pursuit should not be based on consumption and comparison. Correct consumption outlook and values are the key to educating the next generation, and the pursuit of material prosperity should be combined with spiritual prosperity. Only in this way can rural people truly live a happy and prosperous life.
At the same time, society should increase investment in rural education and consumer education, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor in urban and rural areas, and improve the quality and cultural level of rural people. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of the all-round development of society and let everyone live a good life. Therefore, the behavior of rural people to show off their wealth should be stopped, and the correct consumption concept and values should be promoted, so that everyone can live a happy and rational life.
