Chapter 166: "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots"
"No, I've been in Beijing for a long time, and I'm used to it, so I won't move to the south, but after Yuntao your reservoir is built, grandpa will definitely come to you and stay for a while, I haven't been in the countryside for a long time, and I miss the rural life a little."
Jing Lao said, for the elderly people, they don't want to leave their hometown, in these old people want to come, even if they die, they have to die in their hometown, after all, it is "falling leaves back to the roots", they are afraid of leaving their hometown, one is not good, they may die in a different place, in that case, they will become a "lonely ghost" in a different place.
In fact, not only the elderly, many other age groups of Chinese people, have homesick thoughts, in the eyes of Chinese people, home is a person who works hard outside, the warmest harbor, tired outside, bitter, think about the old people, children, and wives at home, feel that no matter how bitter, no matter how tired it is worth it.
If it weren't for the pressure of life, many Chinese people would not leave their hometown, leave their warm home, and go out to work, in order to make their families live a good life, no matter how bitter and tired they feel outside, they also feel so sweet.
Every year for the Chinese New Year, the Chinese people will go home for the New Year, although the way home is not easy to walk, the ticket is not easy to buy, but the Chinese people will still overcome many difficulties and embark on the way home.
Every year before the Chinese New Year, you can see that the train station and bus station are crowded with people who desperately want to go home, and in order to buy a ticket to go home, many of them are in the cold wind for several nights in a row, queuing up at the station to buy a ticket home, if nothing else, just to go home to see the land where they grew up, their own family, and their own "kennel".
In the eyes of many people in China. No matter how good the high-rise buildings outside are, how magnificent the houses outside are. are not as good as their own broken "kennels". After all, that is truly your own, and only by living there can you feel at ease, and there is a feeling of "returning to your roots".
No matter how aggrieved the Chinese people are outside, when they return to their hometowns and homes, they will never mention that they are suffering, tired, and wronged outside.
More importantly, I just don't want my family to worry about me. Let the elderly, children, and wives at home think that they are doing well outside.
This is also the traditional thinking of many men in China, men are the "pillars" of the family, and if there is anything bad, they must carry it themselves, so that their families can live a carefree and beautiful life under the blue sky they support.
There are many reports about how much the left-behind elderly, children and women miss the men who are far away and how unfortunate they are, but think about it the other way. Don't the men who are uprooted from their homes and working outside the home want their parents, wives and children at home?
Every man has left his hometown and come to a strange city. Living a completely different way of life from before, how unaccustomed and helpless, whenever night comes, lonely and helpless men, except in the dilapidated room, missing their wives, children and old people who are far away from their hometown, secretly sad, what can they do.
Many people say that men bleed without tears, in fact, those are, but when most men cry, they will not let others know the Tao, in fact, many men sometimes miss their wives and children at home, and they also hide in the bed alone and cry secretly, and they will not let anyone know the Tao, especially their own family.
For a Chinese man, when he is not married, he may not think so much, and live a carefree childlike life, at this time, it may be the only time in a man's life when there is not too much pressure.
But when a Chinese man gets married, has children, and starts a family, this man's mind will be full of responsibility for this family, regard this home as his warmest harbor, and will do his best to maintain this family.
Family is a man's roots, is the continuation of this man's life, for men, family is the beginning of their dreams, will also be the end of their dreams, "fallen leaves return to the roots", for men, dying in their own home is the most perfect, after all, this is their most difficult destination.
Of course, in Huaxia, there is this kind of "falling leaves return to the roots" thinking, not only men, for women, it is also like this, many people in the hospital, knowing that they are about to die, will let their families send themselves to their own homes, silently die in their own homes, hoping to see their own home before they die, this home full of joy and sorrow, look at their own families, until the most difficult time to have to close their eyes, that is also the end of their lives.
"Well, grandpa, I will go back and get the reservoir things done as soon as possible, let grandpa come to live with us as soon as possible, and then reminisce about the life in the countryside."
Yun Tao said, in fact, Yun Tao also thinks that it is very beneficial for the elderly to stay for a period of time in a place like the countryside with a better environment.
After all, the environment of this Beijing city is too poor, not only the air quality is poor, but also the environment on the side of the road is also poor, there are garbage and leaves everywhere, and Yuntao does not know the road, which is caused by not cleaning, or can not be swept, after all, such a ground environment does not match the Chinese capital.
To know that in those big cities in the south, it is difficult to see that the ground environment in the city is so poor, what garbage is everywhere now it is simply impossible, of course, those remote and gloomy places, is not full of garbage, Yuntao does not know the road.
Anyway, there is no such thing as Jingshi, even the bustling streets of the city are full of garbage, after all, Yuntao is the one who sits in Jing Ting's car and Jing Lao's special car, and the scene he sees all the way, if he gets out of the car to see, Yun Tao feels that it will definitely be more shocking.
After all, even Yuntao's hometown, which is known as "the developed city with the worst urban planning and extremely uncoordinated economic development and urban planning", Minzhou City, if you take a bus to walk around the whole city, you can't see the ground like Beijing, garbage is flying all over the sky, and the most you see is that the urban housing construction is not coordinated.
For Yuntao, who came to Beijing for the first time, it is difficult to accept the fact that this capital is the face of China, how can this face be so dirty, go back and tell those people in his hometown, they will not believe it.
After all, the capital that everyone sees on TV is so beautiful and clean, and few rural people can accept the fact that the capital of Beijing is dirty and messy, after all, the dream of many rural people is to come to Beijing and see the beautiful capital of the motherland.
In the eyes of these ordinary people, in a country as big as China, its capital must be very beautiful and clean, and the air is very fresh, otherwise even the top leaders of China are willing to live there.
"Hehe, okay, I will definitely come then, my grandson-in-law's house will live for a while, Xiaotao, you have those people in your family, what do you do in your family."
Jing Lao asked with concern, after all, about the information about his future grandson-in-law, he was in his house just now, and asked himself about his three sons, who knew that they didn't know anything about it, which made Jing Lao really annoyed.
Especially Jing Lao is very dissatisfied with his second son, his own daughters already have boyfriends, he, as a father, doesn't know anything, it seems that he doesn't spend much time at all, he doesn't care about his daughter, and he doesn't even know about such a big thing.
If it weren't for his serious illness and hospitalization this time, it is estimated that the second son of his family really wants it, and when his daughter brings him a grandson and a great-grandson to himself, everyone will know that the "little princess" of his family has a man, and what kind of man looks.
"Grandpa, I have my parents at home, they are both farming at home, doing some chores for others to earn some money to live, my sister got married a few years ago, and she is raising children in her own house, my brother-in-law is a cook, as for grandpa and grandma, they have passed away a few years ago."
Yun Tao said, Yun Tao thinks that there is nothing to say to others about the situation of his family, even if it is the previous cowardly character and very inferior Yun Tao, he never feels ashamed to tell others about his home, after all, "the son is not a female ugly dog is not a poor family".
So even if he told the prominent family members of Jing Ting's family about the situation in his family, Yun Tao didn't have anything to worry about, he just said what he wanted, and there was nothing to hide.
"The farmer is good, the farmer is simple, in the future, we Tingting will marry in the past, and we will not be wronged, unlike our big families, there are many rules and regulations, with Tingting's character, if I marry those big families, I am worried."
Jing Lao said with satisfaction, after all, it is much easier to be a daughter-in-law for rural people than to be a daughter-in-law for those families, in the eyes of rural people, it is a very dignified thing for his son to marry a girl in the city, and it is absolutely good for the daughter-in-law who grew up in the city.
I am afraid that my daughter-in-law from the city will be wronged, and I am unwilling to stay in the countryside and go back to my parents' home, and I will not let the daughter-in-law who grew up in the city do any heavy and tiring housework, and I will do it by myself.
But if you marry into those big families, it is not like this, it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law in those big families, you have to learn to serve your in-laws well, and have a good relationship with family members such as sister-in-law, and you have to learn to intrigue, otherwise you can only be wronged.
"I also think that with Tingting's big and arrogant character, it is better to marry an ordinary family, in this way, there will be no big grievances."
Zhang Yulin also said very agreeably, after all, only the daughter-in-law of a big family knows the hardships.
