Chapter 10 Comparison between the city and the home

Compare the city with the home

It has been more than a month since it came out, and no matter how much Yongnong saves and calculates, he breaks one money into two coins, and the money only goes out and does not come in, just like the water in the pond is becoming less and less. The money Yan Yongnong brought out was about to run out, and at this time, he deeply realized that it was not easy to live without money in the city.

Countryside people always yearn for the city, and regard going to the city as a major event, dreaming of becoming a city person one day. Someone once joked: "A dog would rather become a dog in the city, at least there are more bones on the street." Although the men with roots in the countryside complained about their parents, they had no choice but to accept their fate and keep themselves in the fields, otherwise where would they go? They warmly welcomed the educated youths from the cities to the countryside, and this policy of the state was really very gratifying. It would be nice if we turned the world upside down and swapped the people from the countryside with the people in the city! I know that this is a pure unrealistic fantasy, but I still hope for it like this.

Only those girls who are excellent in all aspects, and who are good looking if they want to be talented, their dreams may come true. It is said that a woman's fate has two choices, the first is to go out of her mother's door well, and she is blessed to keep up with good parents. As the saying goes, "It is more important to be good with the father and the son." "But this is something that God does, and man cannot do it. The second time is to marry a good husband, and there is also a saying: "It is expensive to have a good husband and a wife." "When a woman chooses a husband, she has to show her eyes, and this is artificial.

However, there are too many girls who marry not to marry people, but to marry places, families, and houses. If the man's family is in a good place, his family is wealthy, and he has a house, the woman is willing to marry. The man's family is next to the county or has a town green card, so it doesn't matter what else matters, even if he is lame and lame, or the leper head and hemp face can't defeat the woman's heart to marry. There is such an example in Tuomugan, there is a girl named Xiuying who graduated from junior high school and is well-behaved and beautiful. From the age of fifteen, the matchmaker almost leveled the threshold of her family, and until she was twenty years old, there was no posterior with a plate eye to let her family accept the gold. It was in this year that a residential team came from the county, headed by the director of the county health bureau. The director fell in love with Xiuying at a glance and asked her to be his daughter-in-law. He did not hide his son's flaws, and directly told her that her future husband was a mute man who had attended a school for the deaf. Of course, he didn't grieve her too much, and the favorable conditions he offered offset his son's defects. That is: immediately after getting married, go through the procedures for changing agriculture to non-farming, and arrange to go to the county hospital as a cashier.

At first, Xiuying was a little hesitant, there was only one flaw on the surface of the mute, but there was actually one hidden one, ten deaf and nine dumb. Silently facing a person who has important facial features and two functions that do not work for a lifetime, even if it is brocade clothes and jade food, what does it taste like?

And her family agreed to it, which is a fragrant dumpling that fell from the sky, a good thing for dozens of lifetimes. Not only her family was satisfied, but also her relatives and her friends. During this time, the family opened their mouths and closed their mouths to talk about it, and they had nothing to mention about it.

Father's words: "I have never seen such a big official on our vine, not to mention that we have never taken a string with an official, and we don't even have relatives who eat state food." Today, we can climb this high official because our ancestors have accumulated virtue and blessings. Blessings are for you to enjoy alone, and we are just following a little light. ”

Mother's words: "You married into that family, and the iron rice bowl of this life is stable." The sun can't shine, the rain can't drench, there is no need to dig without light and heavy burdens, there is no need to work and run, there is no need to eat, sit and wear while standing. In the future, when you start a branch (give birth to a child) in his house, they will also ask someone to serve you as a wife, ask a nanny to take care of the baby, and see which one has your life! You are not the only one, and in the future, your descendants will follow suit, they will be born as members of the state, eat commercial grain, and enjoy the government's preferential treatment. When I grow up, I sit in the office and get the state's money. ”

Brother's words: "Isn't there something wrong with him, and he still comes to this mountain to look for you? With his father's brand, the good girls in the county don't follow him? Besides, you are on a par with him, you have a pair of good-looking big eyes that can recognize a few words, and you have never entered the school door, and one is blind." I arranged for you to be the cashier, but I am afraid that you will not be able to count the money. However, they will let you go to further study and ask the teacher to take you there. Let me remind you: you are still grinding and others are only worried about not being able to catch them. ”

In this sea of praises, it's no wonder that this marriage ship ran out of rudder!

However, more than 30 days of city life completely changed Yan Yongnong's view for more than 30 years. He experienced that life in the city was not suitable, unaccustomed, and uncomfortable. As the old saying goes: the frog in the well says the well is good. The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels. Yan Yongnong couldn't stay in the city, and his heart returned to the wooden ridge, thinking about all the good things in his hometown.

He began to look for the city's differences, dissatisfactions, and the inconsistencies of not being strange to see or hear:

The people who are blackened into ants on the street can't get out of the way, can't take a step, and often leans sideways to let people. There are endless things about bumping and tripping people. Yan Yongnong couldn't figure it out: Where did so many idle people come from! They all looked oily and delicate, dressed luxuriously and shiny, and walked around the streets all day and night without eating, all of them were a group of parasites!

Cyclists who want to shuttle through the cracks of people have to press the bell tightly to open the road, and the beeping rings into a one. One after another, all kinds of cars rumbled by, and the driver was not lively enough, playing the horn like playing a piano, and the deafening air whistle overshadowed the human voice and the bell, and the ears were numb. I really don't know if the eardrums of the people in the city are made of copper or iron.

Not only the ears suffer, but also the eyes, brain, and limbs can be affected. Give way to people, especially to give way to the car, the eyes should be quick, the legs should be fast, a little sluggish, the car braked sharply in front of you, and the driver stuck his head out of the glass window and scolded: "Looking for death! If it weren't for his high driving skills, I don't know if there would be a able-bodied person who would have gone home for the New Year.

He thought of home, the heart-warming sound of his hometown, and the cheerful sound of his hometown, and the "chirping" of a group of happy sparrows on the tree in front of the window in the early morning, until someone pushed open the window. At noon, the sun became more and more intense, and the people here and there were picked up on the trees and the back of the thatch, and they were desperately shouting "hurry", one after another. It's just that when I go to bed at night, the wawing sound makes it difficult for people to sleep, but when I think of their sweet and delicious taste, I am calm.

When walking at home, as long as you look at the ground with the corner of your eye, don't call the protruding stones stompy feet, and the steps are a little bigger where there are ditches and gaps. How are the eyes like in the city for sin, and it is too late to enjoy them. Look, bees and butterflies flutter among the wildflowers on the roadside, fish sparkle in the mountain streams, and cattle and sheep chase on the hillside-----。 What an idyllic landscape!

In the city, people can't live without money, just like fish can't do without water. You don't have to pay for food and water, you have to ask for it. Accommodation is not costly under the street walls, on the side of the road, or in the square. Even going to the toilet costs two cents, Yan Yongnong is secretly funny, he only knows how to spend money to buy it at this age, and he has never seen it sold for money. If you go back and tell your family about it, they won't believe it.

It's a real annoyance to go to the toilet in the city. Restaurants, restaurants, and snack bars can be seen with open eyes, but the toilet is looking for trouble, and you can't find a toilet for a few streets, and it is hidden in a place. That time the child wanted to urinate, Yan Yongnong took him to East Street to find West Street but didn't find it, the child was so anxious that he pinched his chicken with his hand: "I can't hold it back, pull the urine into the crotch of my pants!" This kind of improper behavior can not be done often, once you are caught by the chengguan and you are complaining about money, only a fine of one or two yuan is the chengguan sympathy for you. When people feel hungry, they can put it off for a while, and they can even stand it without eating, but when they are in a hurry to pee and urine, they can't cut a wooden cork and plug their buttocks. What puzzled Yan Yongnong was how the pitiful toilet that was hidden contained contained the excrement of people on the street.

People in the city are different from people in the countryside, if you go to his door to ask for a drink, he will quickly scoop it for you, if you borrow his toilet for convenience, he will cold his face and refuse: "No, you go to the side of the public."

"No, it's just that a family doesn't even have a toilet? Your family has been in someone else's house all year round? If I can find the public side, why do you look at your face?" Yan Yongnong was unhappy in his heart. Later, he blamed himself again, people's toilets with granite gram paving, white tiles on the wall, but also carved flowers, much more advanced than our farmhouse accommodation. After they went to the toilet, they washed with water, and they had to wash with laundry detergent, brush and disinfection, and even more particularly, sprinkle perfume. Of course, I don't want others to get dirty,

I can't help but think of my hometown, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and toilets can be used everywhere. The crops in the field and the plants and trees in the wasteland need fertilizer. A person who has been shy about showing his butt since he was three years old and wearing sealed crotch pants does not need to bother to find a toilet when he is in a hurry to poop and pee in the wild. There are also some casual people, especially men, who pull anytime and anywhere like dogs and chickens, and there are even more shameless men who untie their crotch while walking and pull out the "family business", and walk all the way like the buffalo, leaving a wavy line. Someone tried to tease him and shouted, "Someone's coming." Seeing what was going on with him, he shook his 'family business' and said, "Come on, it's a big deal, just look at it a few more times, which one doesn't have this thing?

In the city, people start to think about money as soon as their eyes are opened and their brains can turn. Talk about money with your mouth closed, and ask for money with your hand in your hand. Part-time workers have to weigh whether the remuneration for the work they do is appropriate for the effort expended; those who sell and buy are full of small profits and small profits but quick turnover. There are also guys who are too lazy to do it, and who can't do business, and when they see the money, they have crooked intentions and do abduction and theft. Yan Yongnong saw with his own eyes the scene of an old woman's Lu Baiyuan being stolen, she sold the pig money in her pocket and put it in her pocket before it was simmered, and she didn't know who it was in anyone's pocket. Whether she calls the heavens and the earth, or seeks death and life, the money is gone forever. Yan Yongnong didn't bring much money, and he didn't feel anything in his pocket, but a heavy burden weighed on his heart, always worried that the money was gone, and that the pickpockets would steal the money. He often touches his pockets with his hands, and in crowded places, he has to set aside one hand to hold the money in his pocket. I put my hand in my pocket and held the money for a long time, and I sweated a slap, and the money was wet. Sometimes he was holding the money in his hand and paying attention to other things, but when he came back to his senses, he didn't keep up with it, and he felt that his hand was empty, and then he was so frightened that he sweated.

He remembered how comfortable and easy his life was when he was at home! When I am hungry, there are many grains such as rice and bread grains at home, and the fresh and tender green melons, fruits, and vegetables in the vegetable garden behind the house are hanging on the branches and covering the ground. When they were thirsty, the spring water on the mountain, which contained a variety of minerals needed by the human body, was flowing in front of their houses, and they were drinking, washing, and squandering them without spending a penny or saving. If you want to eat meat, the smoked fragrant bacon in the meat cabinet on the stove pond is cut down and cooked, the chickens, ducks, and geese in the chicken pen can be killed at any time if you want to, and the small fish, shrimp, eel, and field chickens in the pond, stream, and ditch are 100% wild and unpolluted, and you can go to the hook, net, and fish at any time as long as you are diligent and diligent.

The snacks that children eat are also self-produced and do not cost money, and there are fruit trees with fruits in various seasons in front of the house and behind the house, at the edge of the field, and the peaches and plums have just been eaten, and the pears and dates have come out, and the pears and dates have oranges and persimmons to pick up. These family plantings are not counted, there are many wild city people on the mountain who have not seen a single fruit, what wild strawberry, bayberry, cherry, hawthorn, monkey peach, August bloom --- many, many more, with a more beautiful and fresh taste than the domestic fruit. Children grow up eating these all-natural foods without pesticides, fertilizers, and industrial pollution.

Rural people get together and talk about how many loads of grain a certain family has harvested, how many loads of potatoes have been dug up, how many catties of grain have been picked, and how many baskets of soybeans have been beaten. How many chickens, ducks, pigs and cows were raised. Generally, it is not about which family has saved how much money.

What disgusted Yan Yongnong was the arrogance and indifference of the people in the city. The most hateful of them are those who live in the city for only a handful of days, who smell of cow dung from their feet and their hands, or whose parents and brothers are hillbillies. They put on suits and spoke Mandarin in foreign and soil, and they looked like city people, with long eyes on their foreheads, and looked down on the countrymen. When you ask him for directions face to face, it seems that what you say has a stench that smokes his nose, and he tilts his face to the side and squints at you, and you make him disdainful. When he answers you with a 'yes', the sound does not come out of the mouth, but from the nostrils. They use two fingers to pick up the money in your hand, for fear of getting dirt on your hand.

"These people are pretentious, noble, and self-righteous, but in fact, what you eat, drink, and wear is not from the countryside, and it is not made by thousands of muddy legs like me?

Or we countrymen are kind and enthusiastic, and whether you go to a place where you are born and meet people whether you know them or not, you can always get enthusiastic help by asking for directions and looking for people. People will not be afraid of the trouble to take you where you are going and help you find the person you are looking for. Even if they are carrying a burden on their shoulders and holding a hoe in their hands, they will put it down. If you can't lead the way, they will describe you where you want to go like a map, so that you don't have to take half a step to return to the road and find the place or person you are looking for.

is still so enthusiastic about the living, and acquaintances don't know how affectionate they are. When people meet at the end of the road and don't say hello, it will cause suspicion: what's the matter, if you don't know each other when you meet, is there something wrong with you before?

The language of greeting is always very simple questions, such as "Where are you going?" and "Where are you going?" and "Have you eaten?" before and after dinner, and these questions do not require true and accurate answers. The one who answers simply responds, "Go to the front, come from the front." "Eaten". Sometimes the greeting is completely knowingly asking and having nothing to say, and when you see someone carrying a dung bucket on your shoulder, you have to ask: "Pick up dung?" The person who answered answered seriously: "Well, carry dung". There have been many jokes about this greeting. For example, when I saw people rubbing in the toilet, I also asked, "Have you eaten?" I saw people angry for a while, but when I saw them calm down for a while, I asked, "Out of gas?"

Regardless of whether the greetings are appropriate or not, people are happy to greet each other. I don't get bored when I meet ten times a day, and I only call nine times when I meet ten times, and that one time makes people angry, makes people feel strange, and makes people reflect on whether they are at fault.

Yan Yongnong was accustomed to the customs of his hometown, so he couldn't stay in the city for a while, and his desire to return home was urgent, and he was eager to see his relatives and friends. Confide in them what you have accumulated.

It has been more than a month since it came out, and no matter how much Yongnong saves and calculates, he breaks one money into two coins, and the money only goes out and does not come in, just like the water in the pond is becoming less and less. The money Yan Yongnong brought out was about to run out, and at this time, he deeply realized that it was not easy to live without money in the city.

Children grow up eating these all-natural foods without pesticides, fertilizers, and industrial pollution.

Rural people get together and talk about how many loads of grain a certain family has harvested, how many loads of potatoes have been dug up, how many catties of grain have been picked, and how many baskets of soybeans have been beaten. How many chickens, ducks, pigs and cows were raised. Generally, it is not about which family has saved how much money.

What disgusted Yan Yongnong was the arrogance and indifference of the people in the city. The most hateful of them are those who live in the city for only a handful of days, who smell of cow dung from their feet and their hands, or whose parents and brothers are hillbillies. They put on suits and spoke Mandarin in foreign and soil, and they looked like city people, with long eyes on their foreheads, and looked down on the countrymen. When you ask him for directions face to face, it seems that what you say has a stench that smokes his nose, and he tilts his face to the side and squints at you, and you make him disdainful. When he answers you with a 'yes', the sound does not come out of the mouth, but from the nostrils. They use two fingers to pick up the money in your hand, for fear of getting dirt on your hand.

"These people are pretentious, noble, and self-righteous, but in fact, what you eat, drink, and wear is not from the countryside, and it is not made by thousands of muddy legs like me?

Or we countrymen are kind and enthusiastic, and whether you go to a place where you are born and meet people whether you know them or not, you can always get enthusiastic help by asking for directions and looking for people. People will not be afraid of the trouble to take you where you are going and help you find the person you are looking for. Even if they are carrying a burden on their shoulders and holding a hoe in their hands, they will put it down. If you can't lead the way, they will describe you where you want to go like a map, so that you don't have to take half a step to return to the road and find the place or person you are looking for.

is still so enthusiastic about the living, and acquaintances don't know how affectionate they are. When people meet at the end of the road and don't say hello, it will cause suspicion: what's the matter, if you don't know each other when you meet, is there something wrong with you before?

The language of greeting is always very simple questions, such as "Where are you going?" and "Where are you going?" and "Have you eaten?" before and after dinner, and these questions do not require true and accurate answers. The one who answers simply responds, "Go to the front, come from the front." "Eaten". Sometimes the greeting is completely knowingly asking and having nothing to say, and when you see someone carrying a dung bucket on your shoulder, you have to ask: "Pick up dung?" The person who answered answered seriously: "Well, carry dung". There have been many jokes about this greeting. For example, when I saw people rubbing in the toilet, I also asked, "Have you eaten?" I saw people angry for a while, but when I saw them calm down for a while, I asked, "Out of gas?"

Regardless of whether the greetings are appropriate or not, people are happy to greet each other. I don't get bored when I meet ten times a day, and I only call nine times when I meet ten times, and that one time makes people angry, makes people feel strange, and makes people reflect on whether they are at fault.

Yan Yongnong was accustomed to the customs of his hometown, so he couldn't stay in the city for a while, and his desire to return home was urgent, and he was eager to see his relatives and friends. Confide in them what you have accumulated.
