At the beginning of February, a father's advice to his child in Chongqing rushed to the hot search.

The father told his two children at home that after careful consideration, he and his wife decided to stay at the Fujian construction site for the Chinese New Year this year.

Thinking of a family of four separated for the Chinese New Year, the father felt that his child had been wronged.

But the father did not hide it, but told his daughter truthfully

"It's not easy to make money this year, and it's a long way to go home, and it's going to be a bumpy journey. ”

Speaking of which, the father changed his words and told his daughter frankly that the reason why he talked about life was not to talk about his hard work.

Instead, they want to pave a little more road for their two children while they are still able to work.

At the same time, Dad was worried that he would lose his job opportunity when he went home for the busiest time at the end of the year, so he told his two children to take care of themselves.

It turns out that going home for the New Year needs to be carefully weighed again and again in the face of reality.

In this regard, some people can't help but sigh that the original work was to live better, and now life is to work better.

Someone else asked, "Who is easy to live?" ”

Some people also remembered a certain Internet celebrity's question about not working hard, and asked: "Tell me what it means to work hard to make money?" ”

There is even a more helpless reality: when you are no longer busy, people are old, and it is the turn of your children to work outside...

In fact, this is the status quo of many ordinary families, the home that can't go back, the year that can't be reunited, and the helplessness of life everywhere.

And a few taels of broken silver is precisely the hidden pain in the hearts of many people.

Some people may say, isn't the Chinese New Year just for reunion? I can earn a few dollars in those few days, and it's a big deal to continue to work hard after the New Year!

But for many people, in addition to reunion, the Chinese New Year is also an economic account.

Recently, someone simply listed the expenses that will be incurred during the New Year, roughly calculated, the necessary expenditure is 8,800 yuan, if the round-trip travel expenses and some temporary expenses are counted, it is conservatively estimated to be nearly 10,000 yuan.

The 10,000 yuan may be just an insignificant drizzle for the elite, but for ordinary salarymen, it may be two months of mortgage and car loan, or a year's tuition for a child, or even a few months' food expenses for the family.

Therefore, in the face of life, the New Year's reunion is never an easy topic, what is needed is someone to move forward with a heavy load, so that the reunion can have a strong New Year's flavor and support the feast of reunion.

Because the Chinese New Year is a reunion that everyone expects, whether it is relatives and friends, or seven aunts and eight aunts, they are all closely related to this grand and lively people.

Therefore, many people are coerced to participate in it, listening to the ups and downs of other people's year, the ups and downs, and then in the silence after the excitement, they carefully smooth out their own year's hundred turns and thousands of turns.

Yes, this is the self-healing of the Chinese alone, savoring nostalgia over and over again from the collective excitement, looking for their own home and hope.

However, the current situation of life is too volatile, if you go home for the New Year and enjoy this short period of excitement, the current stable job may be lost, especially for the old and young workers, the situation is even more indescribable.

Compared with the excitement of going home for the New Year, the anxiety of not having a job and the sadness during the job search are more heart-wrenching.

Only those who have experienced it understand that it is a kind of hesitation and confusion that has nowhere to place, reminding us of the embarrassment of life all the time.

And when the end of the year is approaching, because the vast majority of people return to their hometowns for the New Year, there are more job opportunities, and wages can also rise.

Therefore, whether to give up the current stable job and go to a reunion has become a choice that needs to be carefully weighed.

Coincidentally, such a measure does not only happen to middle-aged people, many young people also have their own bitterness.

No, someone posted a topic on the Internet, am I the only one who doesn't want to go home for the New Year?

As soon as this topic came out, it immediately sparked millions of hits, and many young people shared their helplessness about not wanting to go home for the New Year online.

From the discussion of netizens, it is not difficult to see that young people have many concerns, such as the large amount of money spent on the New Year, the seven aunts and eight aunts or the inquisition between neighbors, the embarrassment of being urged to get married, the comparison of secret competition, and the pain of the original family have all become problems that cannot be bypassed.

Some netizens said that when you grow up, you can go back to your home often, but it is not suitable for staying for a long time.

When relatives sit together, they talk more about the changes in their acquaintances, such as whose children are married, whose grandchildren are holding grandchildren, whose children are rich this year, and so on.

These seemingly indifferent chats are actually mutual testing and verification, and all we want to know is whether others are better off than us, or worse!

When the relatives are gone, the chats become a real-life example for parents to educate young people.

Thus, the clash between old and new ideas began to emerge.

Young people soon find a dilemma that is difficult to extricate themselves from, if they blindly insist on themselves, they will invisibly hurt the hearts of their parents, but if they only care about obeying their parents, they will have to wronged themselves, and it will lead to many things that outweigh the losses.

As a result, many young people have a kind of ambivalence, thinking about going home and doing their best to fulfill their filial piety to their parents, and on the other hand, they can't help but want to run away from their parents and find their own spiritual comfort.

On the one hand, there is family affection that cannot be lost, and on the other hand, there is a soul that has nowhere to place, which naturally becomes the collective confusion of many people.

In fact, whether it is a middle-aged person or a young person, they don't want to go home for two reasons, either they lack money, they don't have the confidence to go home, or they lack love, even if they go home, they can't fill the gap in their hearts.

Therefore, every year, many people look at the crowd of people who go home for the New Year, and quietly watch the carnival of the Spring Festival in a rental house in a foreign land.

On the contrary are those who are desperate to rush home for the New Year.

After all, having money and not having money to go home for the New Year is an obsession in the bones of Chinese.

Every year on the eve of the Spring Festival, there are all kinds of returnees on the road.

Some people ride thousands of miles, then there is the back of the wanderer returning home in the wind and speed, some people drive thousands of miles, there is a long journey of wind and dust, and some people transfer thousands of miles, there is a hurried tossing and turning.

Recently, on the busy way home, a small eye-catching slogan was posted on the back window of a car: 2000 kilometers back to my parents' home, the road is far away, please take care of it.

It turns out that even if you travel thousands of miles, as long as you have the idea of going home for the New Year, no matter how far away you are, you can only feel like an arrow.

At the same time, there are a lot of "car strong" from the **.

The front of some vehicles was damaged, which was vividly described by netizens as running home with bared teeth.

Some vehicles have obvious collision marks on the back, and the owner only makes a simple deal of it, and then sets foot on the way home without stopping.

Netizen God commented: There is a feeling of going home to find my mother while crying.

There is concern, there is obsession.

Many times, the Chinese New Year seems to have become a solemn ceremony for a person to wash away the dust of the year. As a result, going home for the New Year has a different magic.

It's just that the reluctance of life still traps many people from going home, and I hope that in the festive atmosphere, they can promise themselves a bright New Year in the lights of a foreign land.

The gist is that year after year, every household will welcome the new year in the fireworks of the world, whether it is to say goodbye to the old or welcome the new, they all hope that people will be healthy and happy every year.

In fact, the important thing for the New Year is not to spend it in **, but to spend this festival in what mood;

As long as there are expectations, blessings, and concerns, the new year will have new expectations and beginnings. You tell me?
