In recent years, more and more people yearn for rural life, feel that rural life is quiet and comfortable, and all want to return to the countryside to start a new life. As a person who has worked hard in the city for several years, he is actually deeply touched. After staying in the city for several years, he prefers to go back to the countryside and his parents.
First, the pressure of life is small.
Although the wages in big cities are indeed higher than those in rural areas, their expenses are also relatively large. In the urban area, people with a monthly income of tens of thousands will not have much money left if they throw away the expenses of renting a house, eating and commuting.
I used to do product promotion in Shanghai, about 12 thousand a month. But after deducting expenses, the money left in my hand is not as good as my sister's family salary. She eats and lives at home and has no daily expenses. Basically, the salary is net income, which is more than the money I saved in a year.
Second, life is stable and comfortable.
The fast-paced life in big cities often makes people feel flustered and affects their physical and mental health, and I don't know why the city is getting more and more curly now, as if there is an invisible hand pushing you forward. Once you lie flat, it seems that you are a loser.
In those years when I worked in Shanghai, I hardly slept well. Going to work and getting off work every day is like a machine. Overtime is more common. I have no time for myself at all. When I came back, I found that nothing would happen if I didn't work overtime, and my life on my back would not be ruined. Now I enjoy being at home with my parents. Every weekend, I have time to invite friends to ride a small electric donkey in this small town.
Third, people are no longer numb and know how to enjoy life.
Born in the countryside, I always thought I would go out and see the outside world. Later I went out, but every holiday, the first destination I want to go to is my hometown. "What I used to want to escape is what I want to pursue now", which is a truth that I didn't understand until I grew up. I started working outside the society, and when I was busy, I looked back and suddenly found that rural life was what I wanted. There is no mechanical repetition of nine to five in rural areas, no KPI constraints, only sunrise and sunset. You don't need to change anything deliberately, just follow nature, spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and everything goes with the flow.
I'm tired of many things in the city, as if everyone is working hard, but many people don't know what this effort is for and feel pain for it. Life is only a few decades, and all we have is the right to use it for several decades. In fact, whether you choose the city or the countryside, as long as you are happy, then your choice is correct, your efforts are commendable, and lying flat is not shameful.
