Chapter 166 The fallen leaves return to their roots
"No, I have been in Beijing for a long time and got used to it, so I won't move to the south anymore. However, after Yuntao's reservoir is built, my grandfather will definitely come to you and stay well for a while. I haven't been in the countryside for a long time. I miss my rural life a little."
Mr. Jing said that for older people, they don’t want to leave their hometown. If these elderly people want to die, they will die in their hometown even if they die. After all, they are “fallen leaves return to their roots”. They are all afraid of leaving their hometown. If one is not good, they may die in a foreign land. In that case, they will become “silent ghosts” in another place.
In fact, it is not just the elderly. Many Chinese people of other ages have the idea of missing home. In the eyes of Chinese people, home is a person who works hard outside and the warmest harbor. When you are tired and hard outside, you will feel that it is worth it if you think about the elderly, children, and wives at home.
If it weren't for the pressure of life, many Chinese people would not have left their hometowns, left their warm homes, and left their hometowns to work. In order to make their families live a good life, no matter how hard or tired they are outside, they still feel so sweet.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, Chinese people will go home for the New Year. Although the road home is difficult and the train tickets are difficult to buy, 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 stations and bus stations are filled with people who are eager to go home. In order to buy tickets for home, many people stayed in the cold wind for several nights, queuing up at the station to buy tickets for home. For nothing else, they just wanted to go home to see the land where they grew up, their families, and their "dog nests".
In the eyes of many people in China, no matter how good the tall buildings outside are or how magnificent the house outside is, they are not as good as their own "doghouse". After all, that is what truly belongs to you. Only by living there can you feel at ease and feel like "fallen leaves return to your roots".
No matter how frustrated Chinese people live outside, they will never mention that they are suffering, tired, or wronged outside. Although Chinese people are good at face, they are one aspect.
More importantly, I don’t want my family to worry about me, and the elderly, children, wives and others at home think that they are living a good life outside.
This is also the traditional idea of many Chinese men. Men are the "pillar" of their families. They have to carry whatever they are wrong with them, so that their families can live a carefree and beautiful life under the blue sky they support.
Many reports say that left-behind elderly people, children and women miss men far away and how unfortunate they are. But think about it the other way around, don’t they want the parents, wives and children who leave their hometowns and work hard outside at home?
Every man leaves his hometown and comes to a strange city, living a completely different lifestyle from his previous life. He is so uncomfortable and helpless. Whenever night comes, what can the helpless man do, except in a messy room, missing his wife, children and the elderly who are far away in his hometown and secretly feel sad.
Many people say that men shed blood and do not shed tears. In fact, those are nonsense. It’s just that most men will not let others know when they cry. In fact, many men sometimes miss their wives, children and parents at home, they will hide alone in the quilt and cry secretly, and will not let anyone know, especially their family members.
For Chinese men, before they get married, they may not think so much and live a carefree and childlike life. At this time, it may be the only time in a man’s life without much pressure.
But when a Chinese man gets married, has children, and starts a family, the man’s mind will be filled with responsibilities to the family, treating this family as his warmest harbor, and doing his best to maintain the family.
The family is the root of a man and the continuation of his life. For men, the family is the beginning of his dream and will also be the place where his dream ends. "Fallen leaves return to the roots", for men, dying in their own home is the most perfect thing, after all, this is their final destination.
Of course, in China, people who have this idea of "fallen leaves return to their roots" are not only men, but also women. Many people in the hospital, when they learn that they are about to die, will ask their families to send themselves to their homes and die silently in their homes, hoping to see their homes at the end before they die, this home full of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and their families. Until they finally have to meet their eyes, that is also the end of their lives.
"Well, grandpa, I will go back and get the reservoir done as soon as possible, let grandpa live there early, and then reminisce about the country life."
Yun Tao said that in fact, Yun Tao also believes that it would be very beneficial for his health to stay in a better place like the countryside in a better environment.
After all, the environment in Beijing is really bad. Not only is the air quality poor, but the environment on the roadside is also poor, with garbage and leaves everywhere. Yun Tao didn't know that this was caused by not cleaning or being unable to sweep it. After all, such a ground environment is simply not matched with the capital of China.
You should know that in those big cities in the south, it is difficult to see the poor ground environment in the city. It is impossible to get garbage everywhere now. Of course, Yun Tao doesn’t know whether garbage is flying all over the sky in those remote and gloomy places.
Anyway, there is no such thing as Beijing City. Even the bustling streets in the city are full of garbage. After all, Yun Tao is the only one who rides Jing Ting's car and Jing Lao's special car. The scene you see along the way. If you get off the car and see, Yun Tao will definitely feel even more shocking.
After all, even Yuntao’s hometown, the developed city called “the worst urban planning and extremely inconsistent economic development and urban planning”, Wenzhou City, you can’t see any ground like Jing City, where garbage is flying all over the sky. The most common thing you see is the incongruity of urban housing construction.
It is difficult for Yun Tao, who came to Jingshi, the capital of China for the first time, to accept such facts. After all, this capital is the face of China. How could this face be so dirty? When they go back and say it to those people in their hometown, they will not believe it.
After all, the capital you see on TV is so beautiful and clean. 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, a country as big as China must have a capital of very beautiful, clean, and the air is very fresh. Otherwise, why would even the supreme leaders of China be willing to live there? In the feudal idea of rural people, the capital must be a very "fairy-like" place.
"Haha, okay, I will definitely arrive by then. My grandson-in-law has lived in her house for a while. Xiao Tao, you have those people in your family, what are the family doing."
Mr. Jing asked with concern. After all, the information about his future grandson-in-law was just now in his house. Who knew that they were all unaware of it, which made Mr. Jing very annoyed.
Especially Mr. Jing was very dissatisfied with his second son. His own daughter already had a boyfriend. He, a father, didn't know anything. It seemed that he didn't spend much time caring about his daughter. He didn't even know such a big thing.
If it weren't for his serious illness and hospitalization this time, my second son would probably have to wait until his daughter brought him grandson and his great-grandson, everyone would know that the "little princess" in their family had a man and what the man looked like.
"Grandpa, I have my parents at home. They all work at home and earn some money for others to do some miscellaneous work. My sister got married a few years ago and took care of her children at her own house. My brother-in-law is a chef. As for grandpa, grandma has passed away a few years ago."
Yun Tao said that Yun Tao believed that there was nothing that could not be said to others about his family. Even Yun Tao, who was cowardly and very inferior in the past, never felt embarrassed about his family. After all, "the son does not like his mother and his dog does not like his family's poverty."
So even if Yun Tao has nothing to worry about when talking about the prominent family members of Jing Ting’s family, he will say whatever he wants, and there is nothing to hide.
"The farmers are so good, and the farmers are so simple. In the future, we Tingting will not suffer any grievances when we marry. Unlike our big families, we have many rules and regulations. With Tingting's surname, if we marry people from those big families, I will be worried."
Mr. Jing said with satisfaction that it is much easier to be a daughter-in-law for rural people than to be a daughter-in-law for those aristocratic families. In the eyes of rural people, it is a very respectful thing for his son to marry girls in the city. For daughter-in-law who grew up in this city, it is absolutely not better to be good.
I was afraid that my daughter-in-law who came from the city would suffer any grievances and would not want to stay in the countryside to return to my parents' home. No matter what heavy or tiring housework, I would not let my daughter-in-law who grew up in the city do it, they would rush to do it.
But if you marry into those big families, it will not be like this. It is very difficult to be a daughter-in-law in those big families. You must learn to serve your parents-in-law and establish good relationships with family members such as your sister-in-law. You must also learn to intrigue, otherwise you will have to suffer grievances.
"I also think that it would be better to marry an ordinary family with a carefree surname like Tingting. In this way, you won't suffer any major grievances."
Zhang Yulin also said very much that only by truly being a daughter-in-law from a big family can we understand the hardships.
