Returning home for the Chinese New Year, my hometown is no longer what I remember

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-16

At noon on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I was sent by my mother to a distant relative's house for dinner, saying that the old man had surgery before the year, and my wife went to visit the gift, and the family took advantage of the New Year to invite guests to thank them.

When I arrived at the place, I just parked the car, and a Mercedes-Benz next to me also opened the door, and came out of a young man in the mood, with his hair combed into the appearance of a gambling god, and wore a handsome suit.

To be honest, I was a little confused, I didn't know who he was at all, I just greeted him in a friendly way, talked to him and laughed and entered the yard.

When I got to a relative's house, my aunt called us both by name, and I remembered who he was. It turned out to be my aunt's son, named Dongzi, twelve years younger than me, when I was a child, I always played behind our buttocks, I haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect to grow up in a blink of an eye.

During the meal, Dongzi and I were at the same table, out of politeness, and it was not easy to ask this or that, just to be a quiet observer.

After three rounds of drinking, I also heard a rough idea, Dongzi followed his father after graduating from junior high school, and in the last five or six years, he has specialized in air conditioning installation work, and the income is very good, but the working environment is relatively bad.

Dongzi said that he sometimes worked at a height of the twentieth or thirty floors, and he had a rope tied to him, of course, there may be some show-off elements in this, and I felt scared when I heard it, but he seemed to be very indifferent.

There were also relatives next to him who mentioned the Mercedes-Benz car that Dongzi just mentioned a few years ago, which caused Dongzi to talk a lot, in fact, it was an entry-level model of more than 200,000 yuan, but he was stunned to tell him the feeling of a big g.

After eating the whole banquet, I felt a sense of trance ......

They are all children from the countryside, and I am a social animal in the city, and Dongzi who works in the city, in fact, there is no difference, they are both the most basic social roles that we can do under the development of the times.

I am proficient in using computers, can write plans, and can make PPT; Dongzi can climb twenty or thirty floors of high-rise buildings to install air conditioning units, in order to break a few taels of silver, and there is no difference in essence.

People who think that after a few years of college, entering the life circle of the city, and sitting in the office, they are stronger than their parents, parents, and grandparents, but in fact, the means of production have been upgraded, and the flat hoe has been replaced with a mouse and keyboard.

After eating, I went to the village for a walk, and found that half of the cars behind the doors of every house were low-end models of BBA, and when I met acquaintances, I handed cigarettes to Su Yanhuazi, and then I talked about the prospects, which were not very optimistic and waited for opportunities and other ......

When I got home in the afternoon, my father asked me to prune the peach tree in front of the door, and I tossed for a long time, making my back ache, and I felt that I was really useless.

Typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse really didn't take much effort, but now that I'm going to use those farm tools, it's really powerless. It's these things that I used to look down on, and my fathers used these to really shoulder the burden of raising their children and grandchildren. And to put it mildly: at that time, they still had the basic means of production ......

I have always had the highest admiration for the natives, who have shown a sense of family responsibility and resilience that no other people possesses! Although these will be accompanied by some bad habits, face problems. However, the minimum sense of responsibility and their down-to-earth satisfaction of not tossing and not rushing forward are what the current second and third generations of the city generally lack or still need to find.

Perhaps, what I want to go back to is the dream country that was once not so rich, but self-sufficient and free.
