"I've thought about it a long time ago, I'll go back to Majiatun when my feet are ready!" The old horse broke the silence at the dinner table.

"What are you going back to do! You're not the village chief now, and you can still farm for a few years! Take care of your old age at your daughter's house! What's so bad about being with us! Xingxia said to the old horse.

"Huh! So who is the head of our village now? "The Celestial People are curious.

"Baoshan is now the director - the new village chief!" The old horse replied.

"Hey...... How is Baoshan! Celestial people were disappointed, shaking their heads and crooked their mouths.

"You don't know that there was a change of office some time ago? A bunch of people are messing around and giving gifts door to door! The Horse Ranger tsk tucked.

"Which village is not like this now?" Zhong Neng sighed.

The old man at the dinner table was silent again in an instant.

"People now...... Ay! At that time, we were so simple and honest, each of them was down-to-earth, let them do what they wanted, let them go where they went, unlike people now! Fan Weicheng sighed.

Wang Huacheng said indignantly: "My cousin's grandson, some time ago I came to Shenzhen to find a job, I was busy before and after, but what about people, doing express delivery said it was too hard, being a waiter said that there was no future, entering the factory suspected that the leader always scolded him, and there was no business to open a store on Taobao!" I have no culture and no skills, and I can't endure hardships and I don't want to earn much! This new generation of rural babies is far inferior to our generation! ”

"I have a few relatives in Songjiazhai next door who are now working on a construction site here in Shenzhen. Thousands of miles to Shenzhen not to say to learn some technology, just fancy the high wages on the construction site, you say that now you don't take advantage of the youth to learn some technology, and when you are old, it is difficult to go to the construction site? We were bound by the times at that time, but in fact, we were more far-sighted than their generation, weren't we? After Zhong Neng finished speaking, everyone nodded slightly.

"Who is the one at the east end of our village...... His granddaughter can't find a job in Shenzhen, so do that! Last year, her dad sent her something to my house - we were a bit of a distant relative, and my son sent something to their clubhouse, and the woman was dressed very revealingly, and my son saw it and understood it! Ma Xingxia whispered.

"Whose granddaughter are you talking about?" Tianmin inquired, and the old horse was curious.

"The old dog is next door!" Xingxia pointed in the air, and the three old men in Majiatun understood everything.

"Brother Yongmin, his granddaughter, do you know? Also in Shenzhen. "The people of heaven asked the old horse and the hero.

"I don't know ......"

"That woman is in her thirties and married three times! I heard that it's a bit of a cheating marriage outside...... Now I'm getting married for the fourth time! After Tianmin finished speaking, he grinned and nodded frequently, and everyone was stunned.

"Little Nianwa, do you know?" Ma Xingxia asked.

"Why don't you know about him! He...... It's almost sixty! The old horse replied by removing the cigarette holder.

"Xiao Nianwa and we are friends, at most a small fork, he went out to make money in his early years, I heard that he breaded two women outside!" The horse ranger grinned.

"People are so different now! How could we have divorce, cheating, and messing around at that time? After getting married and forming a family, who dares to divorce easily! And we weren't in love before marriage at that time, so we rarely divorced! The current social ...... The change in the direction of the wind caused young people to dare to come nonsense! Zhong Nengdao.

"I observe, the children of our generation are okay - most of them are reliable, and the next generation is very bad! No rules, no ambition, no hardship! Those who are married have no sense of responsibility for the family, and there are many who are unfilial, unfilial, and do not raise children. How many acres of land in the village can you grow some fruit and survive, but in the city, you won't become a low-level gangster? I know that there are no less than twenty gangsters outside! The horse ranger swayed in the air.

"The new generation of young people is generally clever and intelligent, but few are preconceived. At that time, we still had faith, believed in good days, believed in gods and ghosts, and believed in New China...... What do today's children believe - they don't believe anything! Many dolls in the village came back from outside in their twenties, holding a mobile phone every day like a waste person, inaction, arrogance and evil truth! The old horse added.

"I looked, and now rural children have no other way than to study! In the past, there were more roads, and it was not bad to be a worker without going to school, but now it is not good, the road is narrow, and there is only one way out of studying! Fan Weicheng's expression was determined.

"I've observed that today's children are frizzy and unsteady—the more they are in the village, the less down-to-earth they are. Our sons and daughters can still listen to the advice, but when it comes to the grandchildren, they will not listen to anything! The eldest grandson of my sister's family talks and does things - in his twenties, he is like a big fool, and the whole family has only this seedling in the third generation, and he still grows like this! I found that the third generation of farmers below us is generally not as good as the second generation! Wang Huacheng concluded.

When everyone heard the last sentence, they nodded again and again.

"I think it's all caused by the Internet! There are all kinds of jokes on the Internet every day, this analysis and that analysis, this TV and that column, and advertisements hang their appetite every day, and children basically have straight eyes when they turn on their mobile phones! Originally, around fifteen, sixteen, or twenty was the best age for a person to learn skills in this life, but they were all looking at their mobile phones! Nobody cares! When he woke up, he got married and gave birth to a baby, and the next generation will be like this again! You say it's pathetic, it's not pathetic! Fan Weicheng analyzed.

"Now...... Is it harder for a city doll to read than a rural doll to read? The old horse asked everyone.

"That's for sure! Who cares about rural babies! Parents are uneducated and don't understand, and the whole process is free-range! How shrewd are parents in the city, and people know how important their academic qualifications are as soon as they enter the city, so why don't they focus on learning from an early age? So I judge that in the future, the gap between urban and rural children will become bigger and bigger! "Ma Xingxia's words are convincing.

A group of old peasants were speechless when they heard this.

As the peasant generation after the reform and opening up, they cannot help but worry about the future of the three generations of peasants. The elderly know the loveliness of youth best, the only one who cherishes youth, youth is really going to be wasted, and when people reach middle age in a flash, it is basically impossible to turn over the life of dragging their families and mouths. If you want to count on the fourth generation of farmers, unless the third generation of farmers awakens first.

"Oops...... I haven't been back to our Zhongjiawan for years! Zhong Neng smiled and opened another topic.

"Me too, what Majiatun looks like, I have to recall!" Xingxia took a breath of cold air.

"I never came back here, eh...... It's been almost ten years! Fan Weicheng's words were low.

"Me too! I've dreamed of going home, and now ...... I can't go back! I went to the hospital twice in three days, and I couldn't go back! Tianmin's eyes were blurred.

"Our village is very beautiful now! Housework orchard, the fruit can't be broken at all in the summer half a year, and the apricots are almost ripe when I come! Now the peaches are almost sold! The environment in the village is very good, the roads have been repaired, the lights have been installed, and the square and the pool have been built...... Xingxia, you want to go back and buy a ticket to wander around for a few days, it's very simple! The old horse explained.

"Hey...... There is something going on at home every day, where can I leave? If you can go away, go away early! You ask Zhong Neng and Hua Cheng, which day are they not busy? Even if they are not busy like Wei Cheng and Tianmin, they can't leave, and their son is where his son is! We're all old! The warriors pointed at the crowd one by one.

The dinner table was quiet again.

"We're all right—be content! There are many elderly people in the countryside who can't survive and go to the city to work! It is better to find a job in the city with a heavy work and no income guarantee, and have an income every month, if you don't have 5,000, you can have 3,000, and the cleaners who sweep the streets are more than 3,000 a month! Zhong Neng suddenly spoke.

"The current waiter in the supermarket is not a little girl in her twenties, you can't see a little girl in the supermarket at all, all middle-aged women in their forties and fifties, I have seen an old lady in her seventies in a supermarket! Tell me about it! Wang Huacheng shook his palm.

"Hmmm! Cleaners, nannies, waitresses, and market sellers in big cities...... Now people talk about aging, and the aging in the city is the most serious! We still have children, and we don't need to come out to work, if our children have no ability or have a bad life, I'm afraid we are still farming or working here in our hometown! Fan Weicheng waved his hands.

"Our generation is up, how can the old man go out to work when he is old! Basically, I sit at home and spend my days in the future, at most I look at the door, take care of the children, and cook a meal occasionally! Now the family structure is different, and we have dozens of old ladies and men in our seventies and eighties on the street! Zhong Neng clasped his hands on his chest.

"You say the family structure has changed – am I not an example? Wake up early in the morning to drop off the children, do housework, buy groceries, pick up the children, wash the dishes...... I'm 67 years old now, and my daily schedule is busier than in the village in the first half of my life! In the past, our parents' generation was so busy after the age of 60! Isn't it? Xingxia complained.

"I only think you have come to the big city to enjoy the blessings, and you say that I am ...... Ay! The old horse bowed his head and drank.

"Mainly because we are elderly, so we pay extra attention to our peers in the city! The elderly enjoy the blessings of the city - there are very few of them! Fan Wei became enlightened.

"The times are different! In the past, people could stay in one place with peace of mind, but now people can't stay, and they all rush to the city! How many rural people in the city can afford it? Two people have a house and a huge debt, and it is already very good to be able to raise a child or an old man! Those who can't buy a house and don't have money, can't afford to feed and dress themselves, and still support the elderly? There are so many people in our farmer's market who don't have money to get married and find a partner! Children can't rely on the elderly, they can't help, they either come out to make money, or starve to death at home! Zhong Neng slapped his left palm with the back of his right hand.

"When we got married, we packed some cupboards, boxes, a cow, a cart, and a land, and we were married! Which is it now? If you don't have a multi-million house, you're embarrassed to fall in love with other girls! Celestial people glared.

"I have a relative who works in Beijing, and the young man's annual salary is 17,000 and he can't afford to buy a house, and he has no object at the age of thirty-five! A girl who is mixed up in a big city, has big goals, big ambitions, and is a monkey spirit, who wants to marry someone who doesn't have a house? We can marry a daughter-in-law with a few bags of wheat at that time! Fan Weicheng spread his hands.

"Now thirty-five is still an unmarried child, and he is thirty-five years old!" The old horse said with a smile.

"Fortunately, our children are married in the village, and they first start a family and then go to the city to struggle, which is to catch up with the current trend, most of them are too poor to get married! Start a family or start a business first – that's the question! We go back hundreds or thousands of years, who didn't get married first? People are different now! Ma Xingxia clapped his hands, and everyone laughed.

"For many girls, starting a family is starting a business, and people regard marriage as a career." Fan Weicheng said.

"This was the case in ancient times, and the key is now not only for women, but also for men! I've seen a lot over the years! Celestial people shook their heads.

A group of fellow villagers haven't seen each other for many years, and suddenly they are very affectionate, and you and I are chatting very happily. Thirty years ago, they could never have imagined such a reunion today. Thirty years ago, they lived together in the village and never thought they would leave; Thirty years later, they have long since left, and they rarely think of going back. During these thirty years, they have traveled with their partners, relatives, friends, neighbors, acquaintances...... I don't know how many left along the way. If there is no birthday banquet, if Lao Ma does not come to Shenzhen, I am afraid that he will never see these people in his life.

Old people are miserable, they have had everything they have had, and as they grow inexorably older, they have to accept that they have lost everything - whether it is physical health or freedom of will.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was tired and tired of talking. Ma Tianmin stood up and handed out red envelopes to the children who came, and Yang Yang won a big red envelope, and he couldn't hide his joy arrogantly. Then the old men moved to another box to drink tea, and Ma Junjie prepared good tea and refreshments for his fellow uncles.

There is no feast to be dissolved. When it was almost four o'clock, Xingxia had something to do at home, so he went back first. Fan Weicheng's son called, and he also left. Yangyang couldn't sit still and became agitated, so Lao Ma and Zhong Neng also said goodbye.

Ma Tianmin was satisfied, and talked with the old guys to the point of exhaustion, and he said more in one day than in a month. As soon as the township party left, the old birthday star hurriedly drank the doubled pills, and then curled up on the small sofa in the box, covered with a thin quilt, hugged his chest, and gasped. The family was also inconvenient to move, and waited outside to let the old man squint for a while.

When people are old, they are too angry to talk about it, and they are too happy and sad.

Ma Tianmin, who was lying down, felt pain in his stomach, and his heart was extremely happy. The old man meets the old friend, the hometown party sympathizes with each other, and the old birthday star gets what he wants, and today is really a great joy. Tianmin lay down for more than two hours, and when he got up again, it was almost dark. In the past two years, Ma Tianmin has slept more and more every day, and the candlelight in the wind is about to go out at any time, and he is sad and relieved.

Today may be the happiest day he has ever had in a long time, and perhaps the happiest day before he leaves.
