But if you really go back to the countryside to support the elderly, are you sure you can adapt? Ideal is full, reality is skinny, thinking and doing are really two different things!
My hometown is in a small mountain village in the north. It has been more than ten years since I left my hometown. I remember beautiful scenery, light clouds and light winds, fresh air, mountains and water, special products, delicious food and familiar villagers. It's not that I haven't been back in these years, but every time I rush back for the New Year, I left in a hurry after a few days. In recent six or seven years, my parents who have settled in the provincial capital have also been together, and I rarely go back for the New Year. Green mountains and green waters are really only in memory. In the northern countryside in the first month, only the cold and snow-covered desolation after the depression of everything remained.
I went back for three days last June because of something. The previous dirt road has been hardened, paved with cement pavement and directly paved to the door. Solar street lamps are installed in front of every house, which will automatically light up at night. The villagers pulled two sets of tap water, one is the mountain spring water pressed by the village, and the other is tap water. They like that. Choose for themselves. Convenience is much more convenient than before. You don't have to get up early to fetch water every day, and you don't have to get dark at night.
However, many lifestyles have not changed. Raising a pig to eat annual meat, raising a chicken to lay eggs, raising a dog to look after the house, raising a cow or mule to plow the fields, and raising a poultry around you is really a real farmhouse atmosphere. However, it is followed by animal manure produced in pigsty, cowshed, chicken house and dog kennel, as well as dry toilets. Under the action of temperature, all kinds of smells are mixed in the air, and the fragrance is fragrant. You can't drive away swarms of flies and flies around the shed unless you stay indoors and the doors and windows are closed. This kind of scene will basically accompany the whole hot weather.
I went back this Spring Festival. In the evening, several people crowded on a kang and were burned by my grandmother. The temperature is below zero in the morning and evening of winter. It's too hot to be covered with a quilt or cold. It is inconvenient for many people to take off their clothes. They were wrapped in clothes when sweating, and their key heads and faces were still frozen. It's hard to describe a night. In my hometown, heating in winter is still the way to burn the stove with charcoal. The reason why I don't burn the stove at night is that I'm afraid of the harm of lampblack and that I save some money. The next day, I asked my grandmothers, are their faces cold? They said they were used to it and didn't feel cold.
Under the care of the party and the state, the rural areas have developed rapidly in recent years, but there is still a big gap with the cities. After living in the city for a long time, I believe many people are still not used to it if they are asked to go back to the countryside to support the elderly. It is ok to experience life once in a while, but it is definitely not possible to live there for a long time.
However, with the development of rural areas and the continuous investment and construction of the country in the future, I believe it won't be long before you retire after 8090, which will definitely surprise you. At that time, the countryside will be a good place for providing for the elderly!
