Nowadays, young people are going home for the New Year. After three or five days, they get extremely bored and don't like to go out. Especially in rural Jiangsu, the weather is cold, there are no heating facilities, and I don't like to visit relatives and friends. Does anyone feel the same way?
This year, many people in our village have returned to the countryside for the New Year, but most of them are at the beginning of the year.
I only came back in the second and third years of junior high school, so I was really not used to it at home. Some are needed for the job, and it is important to make money.
I only go back to my hometown to visit my elderly parents. It felt fresh when I first came back. I went to the market with my parents to buy something, and then I was pretty much at home.
This year, there was another snowstorm, and it was difficult to go out without a car in the countryside. For example, my house is not close to the road, so walking is not possible. There are only the footprints of wild ducks on this path, and it is inaccessible.
Those who have a car go out on the main road, and those who don't have a car stay at home. Electric cars are afraid of skidding, so they generally don't go out on snowy days. When the weather is fine, we all walk this way.
On both sides of the road there are fish ponds, lotus flowers, and flocks of wild ducks. It is said that the scenery is pleasant in summer.
This tricycle is a must-have for almost every family. It costs about 3,000 yuan to buy one. Older people generally rely on this to get around. It's easy to ride and can carry a lot of things.
There are also some elderly people who ride such bicycles to transport their children to and from school, which is very suitable for cycling in the cold winter and summer months.
By the third year of junior high school, there were almost no people on the streets, and the annual event was over.
Nowadays, young people in northern Jiangsu have basically settled in other places, and the number of times they return to their hometown is only a handful. Only the elderly are left in the family to farm, some cannot leave their hometowns, and some have nowhere to go, so they can only live in old houses.
Before leaving, they also brought their parents' special fried meatballs, sausages, and local eggs. Mom and Dad burst into tears as they watched the children go away. They were really sad and then they couldn't take them out.
Now, back in my hometown, I don't like to visit my relatives anymore. First, it is a loss of favor, and second, it is too much trouble to bring family over, and they may not like to buy gifts. If you eat at a relative's house, you can cause trouble for others. The people in my hometown are very hospitable, and the table is full of dishes, and I can't finish it at all.
Therefore, visiting relatives becomes a burden, a psychological burden. We usually bring some gifts or cash, sit for a while, say a few words and leave.
The fifth day of the first lunar month ushered in the return peak. The major stations were overcrowded, and millions of armies went out to make a living. It can be said that there is no room for the flesh in a place where there is a home, and the hometown has finally become a foreign country.
It is difficult to find a job and make money, especially for middle-aged people who are old and young. Everyone is afraid of losing their job opportunities. Secondly, they are not accustomed to rural life, especially those who have married wives from other places, and cannot accept this primitive rural life.
In rural areas, toilets are built at the back of the house, and some are built in front of the house. Although there are men and women, there is no door, it is easy to go in the wrong direction, the butt will freeze, there is no water to wash down, and the smell is very smelly.
Has everyone gone out to work? Why is the return trip getting earlier and earlier?
All parts of the country have entered the peak period of the return of the Spring Festival
