In recent years, there has been a headache in rural areas - comparisons have become commonplace. Although I have no objection to everyone going back to their rural hometowns to build houses for retirement, this kind of comparison has become more and more serious, resulting in a lot of unnecessary stress and debt burden. Every year when I go back to my hometown in the countryside for the Chinese New Year, I always find that there are more and more neighbors building houses in the village, and the local area has a new look. However, these houses are often built too luxuriously, and some even have two and a half floors, three and a half floors, each with an area of more than 100 square meters, and a total construction area of hundreds of square meters. In fact, the decline in the rural population has not brought about a demand for a large number of vacant rooms, and in today's context of increasing youth mobility, these high floors and excessive rooms only add unnecessary cleaning work, and they are not fully utilized. Therefore, if you have to build a house in your rural hometown, I think it is enough to build a one-story bungalow or a two-story house to avoid unnecessary waste and stress.
Blind dates have always been a big topic during the Chinese New Year in rural areas, but in recent years, there has been a more unusual phenomenon. In blind dates, many young girls have a second marriage. Some of them are young but divorced and have children. This may have something to do with the concept of life of today's young people, who tend to get married and divorce without much concern and responsibility. Therefore, when going on a blind date, no matter how young the other party is, you must understand whether the other party has a history of marriage, so as not to fall into misunderstandings.
Some girls marry into the countryside and live a life of "young grandmothers", enjoying better treatment than in the cities. This is not an isolated phenomenon, and there are many families in the population I know of that have similar conditions. These girls have been pampered by their families since they were young and have developed the habit of being petted. No matter how they get married, they will not take the initiative to do housework, but rely on their parents and in-laws. Due to the difficulty of marrying a daughter-in-law in rural areas, many families have gone to great lengths to marry a daughter-in-law, for fear that she will run away, so they hold her in the palm of their hands like a pearl in their palms. The husband goes out to work, the in-laws are responsible for housework and taking care of the children, and the daughter-in-law is only concerned with having fun, often participating in entertainment activities such as playing cards and mahjong. How can this kind of life of being served by others "to open your mouth for food and stretch out your hands for clothes" be regarded as hardship? Compared with many city dwellers, they can be said to live more comfortably and superiorly.
Some rural families face the problem of "generational disconnection", that is, the inability to pass on the descendants of the family. Due to poor family conditions, it is difficult for sons to marry daughters-in-law, resulting in the inability to continue the family bloodline. Once the child becomes a five-guarantee household in the future, then "cutting off children and grandchildren" is the inevitable outcome, which can also be understood as "poor for three generations". What is even more serious is that after many peasants' children go to school in the cities, they rarely return to their rural hometowns to engage in agricultural cultivation. Even if you don't go to university, you will go to work in the city when you reach the age of 18. With the passing of older generations of farmers, many agricultural planting techniques and experiences may be lost. After all, growing crops is also a technical job, and you need to master the season, time, fertilizer and pesticide application skills. Inexperienced people are likely to put in a lot of work without reaping the rewards, or even losing money. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the education and training of farmers' children in order to protect and pass on the valuable knowledge of agricultural technology.
The four strange phenomena existing in rural areas, namely, the practice of comparison, the phenomenon of "second marriage" in blind dates, the life of "young grandmothers" in rural areas, and the problem of rural generations being cut off, are all problems that need to be paid attention to in rural development. The development of rural areas needs scientific planning and correct guidance, and avoids excessive comparison and unnecessary pressure. During the blind date, it is necessary to pay attention to the understanding of the background and experience of both parties to avoid unpleasant situations in the future. At the same time, rural areas also need to strengthen the inheritance and cultivation of agricultural technology to ensure the sustainability and development of agricultural production. Only by overcoming these problems can sustainable development and prosperity in rural areas be promoted.
