I don’t yearn for it.
First, you can’t order takeout.
Don’t think about eating Malatang or chicken steak in the city. There are not even xiaolongbao. There are basically no xiaolongbao makers in the village.
The only delicacy you can eat in a village like mine is fried dough sticks, and you have to come here once every five days. Why? Because people were going to the market that day, and those who couldn't sell anything at the market went to our village to sell them. The price was ridiculously expensive, not as cheap and delicious as freshly made fried dough sticks.
So if you live in a rural area, in addition to urban villages, most of the rural areas in remote areas, you don't have to order takeout, you can't do it even if you are too lazy to cook by yourself.
Secondly, you can’t get a taxi.
Although the public transportation facilities are very decent now, and they are not as decent as they are, what I am most grateful for here is that the public transportation is free in winter. .
In other words, as long as you want to go somewhere, you can just find a bus, which greatly improves the convenience of going out.
And you can put a lot of things on the bus, and the driver will come over to help you.
Logically speaking, this kind of bus transportation is simply very good.
But you have to note that the bus traffic in the village cannot pass. Firstly, the alleys in some villages are particularly narrow. Secondly, it may be because our place is special. Bus traffic, especially large ones, The buses and cars were nowhere to be found.
If we want to take a bus, we have to go 3 kilometers or 5 kilometers away.
Then someone said that if you just walk an extra three to five kilometers, there is no problem.
But you have to note that the only thing you can find in the village is private cars, which are also so-called black cars.
For example, if you want to go to a certain place and ask your neighbor for help, he will drive you there, but when will you come back? What if you suddenly want to leave at night? Inconvenient transportation is a very serious problem.
There are basically no various entertainment activities.
There are some entertainment activities in our village now, such as square dancing, but what about other things? No more.
If there is, then maybe a movie theater will suddenly show up every few months, or maybe someone from out of town will suddenly come to our place to sell ice cream after a few months.
Besides these entertainment activities, there are basically no other entertainment activities. Of course you can keep browsing with your mobile phone, you can also play on the computer there, or even watch TV.
But for some entertainment activities, there will be more entertainment activities in the city.
Then someone said, since pastoral life is what you said, why do some people still yearn for pastoral life?
If you think about it carefully, is rural life like this?
You can get a taxi when you go out, you can order takeout from the bus, and you have a small room of your own. Moreover, this house is a single-family house, and you can also have a house of your own. In the farmyard, you can grow fruits and vegetables when you have nothing to do, and you can also keep a pet or two.
Please, is this the pastoral life you imagined? Isn’t this villa life?
For a large number of people, the so-called pastoral life they hope for is just an idealized villa into a pastoral life.
Having the living environment of a villa, the convenient transportation of the villa, the city of the villa, the welfare of the center, and various benefits, this kind of life is a good life.
But the crux of the question is, what proportion of this kind of life can be replicated in rural life?
Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see Nanshan Mountain. That requires financial backing. People want to live in villas rather than in rural areas
