Preface.
Maybe you're like me, and every time you return to your hometown, you find it more and more difficult to communicate with the people there. I don't know if it's because the times are changing too fast, or if it's my personal problem, but I don't want to talk to them as soon as I get home!
During the Spring Festival, I was reflecting on whether I was out of step with the society, or if the villagers had changed, and why I just didn't want to communicate with them.
What really happened then? Do you have any similar experiences? Do you think the problem is with me, or is there a problem with this era? Let's go together**What's going on!
This year, just after the Spring Festival in 2024, I just came back from my hometown, and this time I went home and encountered many things that made me uncomfortable, I don't know if it was my personal problem or a social problem.
After returning home, I found old friends as usual, and a few of us got together and talked about the unpleasant past year. Three of them stayed in their hometowns to work, and the others, like me, were on the move.
At first, I didn't feel sick when we sat down to drink and eat, but as time went on, the more we drank, the problem came.
Those friends who stayed in their hometown suddenly began to criticize those of us who worked outside the village, saying that after so many years of mixing outside, the results were not as good as the life of the farmer in the village.
The farmer they mentioned was a contractor in our area, and his family was already rich, otherwise how could he become a contractor? Although those of us who were on the go didn't refute it, after this meal, I rarely ate out again.
At the time, I didn't pay much attention to these things, after all, everyone has a bad time, and I just think they drank too much. But the experience that followed was an eye-opener for me, and I almost thought that what I saw on the outside was fake, and what they said was true. Let's read on.
During the Chinese New Year, it is inevitable to leave relatives, and every time I have dinner with relatives, I will always encounter some strange problems. As the only one in the family who was on the move, these problems were normal at first, but they quickly turned sour.
When I tell them more about my work outside the home, they will reduce the value of my work, like I say I'm in charge of shooting weddings and annual parties, and they'll say, oh, you're taking pictures of people! Then he said that this business is not making money now, look at your brother, he is starting a business now, if he succeeds, then there will be more money.
I really don't understand, I have a serious job, why do they say that about me? Even if my brother does start a business, even if he succeeds, his income will not necessarily be higher than mine. Why do they belittle me like this, so that their son is great?
Of course, these things are not enough to make people angry, after all, comparisons between relatives are common. What really kept me from talking to them was what happened next, so let's move on.
The next thing is about work. After talking about me, these relatives started chatting with my parents, and they mentioned that someone in the county town could earn a million a year by moving couriers. When my parents heard this, they immediately said that our family should also move couriers, and if we can earn so much money in a year, we can buy a house and a car in a few years.
I almost laughed when I heard my parents say that. According to common sense, even if you earn 500 a day by moving express delivery, it will be less than 200,000 a year, and that is still the case of working every day without rest. Who can move express delivery to earn millions a year? Even if you work overtime every day, you can't earn that much.
It's common sense, but it's a reality in their mouths. At that time, they were in full swing of discussion, and I felt that I was wrong.
This kind of exaggerated imagination is all too common in the countryside, and it has been there before, but it has not been as outrageous as this year. According to common sense, no one would think that moving express delivery can earn millions a year, and it is impossible to become a reality in today's society.
People in the countryside, I don't know what's wrong with them, why do they have the illusion that money is easy to make? Take that express delivery example as an example, it must have been someone else who told my relatives, which is called blindly following the trend. Because of the mutual propagation between them, this illusory thing seems to be true.
But is the truth really what they say it is? I don't think so. In all the years I have been working outside, I have never seen anyone who can move express delivery and earn millions a year.
So, why do people in rural areas have such a perception? I think it's a problem of the times. Why do I say that? Listen to my analysis.
Today's society is not as simple as it used to be, social development is rapid, and any hot spot can make people famous overnight. This is the information age, and once someone succeeds, his success may be magnified.
is like the takeaway brother who became popular some time ago, he paid off more than 1 million debts through three years of hard work, which roughly means that he earns nearly 300,000 yuan a year and nearly 1,000 yuan a day. Whether it's true or not, as soon as this news comes out, my parents will mention it when they call **.
At that time, I was telling them about my experience in one day, and they suddenly said, why don't you go and deliver food, see that person can earn more than 300,000 yuan a year!
I couldn't stop laughing or crying at that. I've seen the news, and the delivery guy barely has time off to make that much money. How many people in this world can do that?
But my parents and others saw it as a common phenomenon. When I went home for the Chinese New Year this year, someone came to the door and mentioned this matter, saying that if you are not going well outside, it is better to go to the delivery of takeaways, and you can make a lot of money by delivering food for a year!
I felt very bitter when I heard this. This is something that very few people can do, but now it is being used as a word of admonition. Their perception is completely biased!
It is not others who have strayed from the right path, but the Internet. The web is a double-edged sword. They don't have self-control, so theirs.
