While I am still only an elementary school student, I also know from TV, newspapers and my parents' conversations that it is the wish of every Chinese to be well-off in all aspects, and I have actually felt the changes in people's lives on the way to building a well-off society.
I have often heard my grandparents say that the conditions in the countryside were not good in the past, and all the families lived in earth houses and straw houses, and ate only the vegetables grown in their own gardens, and could not eat meat and vegetables on weekdays except during festivals. Grandpa also told me about the time when my father and uncle went to school. The first time I saw them was when they were in junior high school, and because they were far from home, they could only bring food to school at lunchtime and steam it up.
Because of the poor condition of the family, two people **** with a lunch box, and no food. Once due to the crowded lunch box accidentally squeezed off the ground, that day at noon dad and uncle can only be hungry. In the evening home, the two men on the home leftovers but ate with relish. I can't believe it, but I also went to ask my dad for confirmation, and he said it was something like that, and now that I think about it, I still think that dinner was so delicious!
Last year's National Day, my dad took me back to my rural hometown to see a different scene. I saw almost every family is a two-story building, some or three-story, home appliances, some also installed a wireless network, computers, cell phones, Internet access is not a problem. There are all kinds of fruit trees planted in front of and behind the house, and the yard is also basking in the harvest of the stable grain. I also saw my cousin's family contracted fish ponds and breeding crabs, at noon in my cousin's home to eat a sumptuous lunch, fresh vegetables, just caught up the river fish, now slaughtered local chicken, especially delicious.
I quietly asked my dad if it was because my cousin's family was doing business and was in good condition that there was so much good food! Dad told me with a smile, now the rural families are in good condition, good harvest, the burden is light; farm leisure and then do some side business, the day is getting better and better, like the cousin uncle's family in the village are everywhere, people no longer worry about food and clothing. In the evening, there are a lot of big women and city people like, but also jumped up the square dance it!
Ah, this is really not what it used to be!
