I left my hometown in the countryside with my parents since I was a child, and my hometown became very strange to me as a person who had lived outside for many years, so I accompanied my parents back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year this year.
The rural hometown is no longer the old home of the past, young people have built two-story buildings on both sides of the highway, there is heating in winter, and there is no difference from the city, but I don't feel these houses, I still like the old house in my childhood memory, my old house has been placed for more than 50 years, well preserved, my mother often said to me, you can't lose our old house, the old house is our root, no matter the changes outside, the hometown has our house in my heart at ease, can not lose the root, there are a few families before and after the old house, But most of them are almost eighty years old, and in a dozen years, these people will be gone, and if no one repairs them, the old house will probably collapse!
The night in the countryside is still very quiet, occasionally you can hear a few dog barks, there is no roar of the city car, generally sleep to wake up naturally, the hometown has the benefits of the hometown, but it is too inconvenient to buy food and take medicine to seek medical treatment, although the life of the rural hometown is simple, but the neighbors watch and help each other, let me feel the most sincere emotions of the villagers, fortunately this year the bus is still free, and it is much more convenient to go to the county seat to purchase.
I will go back to work after the Chinese New Year, and the old house may be the last night I lived, and I will come back next year, because my rural hometown is my roots, and the quiet fields and old houses in my hometown carry countless good memories for me.
