Chapter 183
In the evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun was still half the sky, the wind from the countryside blew with a chill that was refreshing.
The incense fell in the incense burner in the dust, extinguished one after another, and everyone was no longer in the ancestral hall to worship.
They left one after another, and those who wanted to have a meal and a drink together went together, and those who did not have a meal went back to their own homes and were busy with their own things.
Xu Zhigui could have stayed and drank the night with the villagers, but there was still a wife waiting for him at home, which was fine, mainly because his son's girlfriend was also at his home, so he had to go back with Xu Xian as soon as possible.
Before leaving to return to the city, many relatives came over and gave Xu Xian a red envelope, which made him embarrassed.
"Thank you, I wish you all a smooth New Year, but I am already an adult and have my own financial ability, so you don't have to give me any red envelopes, we are a family. In
fact, he also wanted to give red envelopes to people younger than himself, but he didn't see anyone younger than himself, because the cousins and cousins younger than himself were in the city, whether they were going to school or working, and there were no young people in the village at all.
This is reflected in the serious aging of the rural population.
At this time, an uncle who lived in the village joked and said: "Xiaoxian, you will always be a child with us, when your father took you back to your hometown before, I also hugged you, I haven't seen you for so long, it is normal to give a New Year's red envelope."
Another lady sitting at the village convenience store also continued: "My son... It's your eleventh uncle, who is now settled in the capital, and asked me to move in with him, but there are so many people there, and I can't bear the cold in winter, so I don't want to move, let him do whatever he likes, I think the climate here in the south is suitable for me to retire.
"Therefore, you young people, and you live in our native city, don't be like my son, who has traveled so far to settle down, and have a little leisure... If you can come back and visit us often, it will be happier than when my son returns. "
Not really.
Xu Xian listened to these words silently, and his heart was a little complicated, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and agreed: "I will come back more, after all, I can go back to the village often... For those of us who don't want to go out to wander, I keep the care of the ladies in mind. "
If there are relatives who are looking forward to their own well, then he will naturally not be indifferent to this, there is really no young person in the village, which shows that the propaganda of the policy of returning to agriculture has not been done in place, or maybe the preferential treatment of returning to farmers is not perfect, and it cannot attract people.
The serious aging of the population in towns and villages will not only affect the development of society, but also reflect the trend of the times that the younger generation is gradually estranged from the older generation, which is forced by life.
The more developed a place is, the more talent it can attract, and then it becomes richer and richer, while the poorer the place, the brain drain is serious, the population is aging, and finally it becomes a barren land.
Fortunately, the Pearl River is still quite developed, and there are not many people who go to other places, and people like his hometown are just an example.
Xu Xian can think of these problems, not because people are worried, or that the problem is not something that ordinary people like him need to think about at all, but just his own discovery.
One side of the water and soil is no longer raising one side of the people, but raising people from afar to seek survival, and the cycle continues.

when he went back, it was Xu Zhigui who came to drive, he had already experienced the feeling of heart stimulation and ups and downs today, and he knew that this kind of thing could not happen again, so no matter what Xu Xian said or how good he bragged, he would not agree.
"Buy you a car after the year, and you drive yours yourself. The
other party's eyes lit up, and he said his wish without thinking about it: "Really, I want to open four rings with high configuration."
Xu Zhigui didn't think much about it: "No money!" Xu
Xian smiled and cheekily sold it: "You can give half of it, and I will pay the other half myself." "
It's not that young people like to drive an Audi, he just wants to skip the days of driving a second-hand car, and now he has a little money on himself, even if he removes the down payment for buying a house, it is enough to buy half of the car cost.
It's shameful to
gnaw at the old! Then he can gnaw half the old and half the shameful.
