Staying in my hometown in the countryside for 6 days, I envied the life of rural women
A leisurely life for rural women.
After six days in the countryside, I couldn't help but express my envy for the happy life of the "young grandmothers" in the countryside. Compared to them, my hard day in the city seemed tiring and hectic. In the countryside, the "young grandmother" does not have to cook by herself, she can go to bed every morning, and as long as the breakfast prepared by her in-laws meets their appetite, they will also eat happily;If you don't like it, you can ride your bicycle to the street and buy breakfast, beef noodles, large intestine noodles, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, bean curd, and try as much as you want, anyway, it doesn't cost money.
And you don't have to work, you can do it every morning.
At nine or ten o'clock, play a game, swipe Tik Tok, and you can get to dinner. In every country house, the mother-in-law basically cooks, and the taste of breakfast is determined according to the taste of the "young grandmother". What are they usually doing?I asked the "young grandmothers" in a few villages, and they said they wanted to watch a movie, go shopping, or go to the mall with their girlfriends. They never worry about spending, whether it is a husband or parents-in-law, they will give them sufficient help.
They don't know how to make money, and they don't know the hardships of making money, so they develop a luxurious lifestyle and don't know what frugality is. As for sending children to school, teaching children homework, etc., they don't have to bother, most of them are done by in-laws and aunts, and it has nothing to do with them whether the children do well in the exams. After I came back, in the hard and intense work, I couldn't help but feel a little sad to see them living so comfortably.
However, I also know that my character, my fate, make me unable to bear that kind of life, I am very jealous, but I can't help it. Recently, I have noticed some women who work and take care of their children, some of whom are wearing tattered clothes and covered in dust;When parents don't have to work, they dress up and put on makeup to welcome their little ones. How so?No one will come to love them, and no one will come to love them.
Why don't I dress up every day, and even though I don't have to work, my children have to dress appropriately. We all go through it step by step, and no one else will like us, so why can't we love ourselves?Even though I didn't have any skills and couldn't read, I still had to go to work when my children started school. When he went to kindergarten, I started learning to Xi and drive, and I had to take care of him, but I didn't have a driver's license and I couldn't work, so I would rather do it alone than be dominated by others. Perhaps, everyone has their own fate, and some people are born with blessings, and they can't learn or change them.
Reflections on the hardships and tensions of urban labor.
When I returned to the city, I once again felt the hardships and tensions of work. On the contrary, the rural "young grandmothers" enjoy their lives leisurely, which is both enviable and helpless. When I was working in the city, I was always cautious and didn't want to ask my husband for money. In a workplace full of competition, I struggled to climb up, leaving me feeling tired and stressed. And on weekends, she will rest in the countryside, looking at these "young grandmothers", brightly dressed, rich food, and comfortable life, her heart will be filled with a sourness.
However, I knew that my personality, my fate, determined that I could not go down that path. There are differences in life, some people are born with blessings, and some people have to work hard to get them. Recently, I've noticed that in urban areas, there are women who have to work and take care of their children, who are dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dust, while parents who don't have to go to work dress up and put on makeup to pick up their children. How so?I found that parents who don't have a job will understand that they have to care for themselves, and no one will love them. I'm the same, I dress up every day, and even if I don't have to go to work, I want my kids to be proud of me when they see me. We all grow up step by step by our own strength, and no one else will like us, so why can't we love ourselves well?
I didn't have any skills, I didn't have any education, and when my sons went to school, I went out to work to support my family. Although my child is in kindergarten, I have not yet obtained a driver's license, so I have to put my job search plan on hold. However, I would rather endure these hardships myself, at the very least, financially, I will not be controlled by others. I know that everyone has their own aspirations, and some people are born to be happy, but I have to rely on my own strength to be happy.
