My uncle, who is 65 years old this year, is retired from a public institution and has two houses in the city, one of which has been rented out.
plus a monthly pension can have an income of seven or eight thousand yuan, but in the past two years, he has made a decision that surprised everyone.
He sold a house in the city, and then spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to build a three-story house in his hometown village, and now his uncle and aunt live in the countryside, raising flowers and vegetables every day, and raising a few chickens, and occasionally returning to the city to live for a few days.
And my cousin, who is 42 years old this year, runs a clothing store at home, and is ready to lie down and rest this year.
He has a house and a car at home, and he has a lot of savings, so he can rest at home and not work, and he says he is tired of the fast-paced life in the city.
My cousin built a house in the countryside of his hometown, and now he has a regular life, getting up in the morning to go out for a walk, eating the vegetables he grows at noon, and in the afternoon, he can also go to the rice fields to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset, and his life is very comfortable and stress-free.
In fact, I found that it was not only them, but there seemed to be many people around me who began to do this one after another, and they had to go to the countryside to build a house and settle down in the good life of the city.
Obviously, there are better resources and various services in the city, and the transportation is more convenient, the living environment is more comfortable, and there are no complicated neighborhood relationships, but why do many people return to the countryside after retirement? I really can't figure it out.
