I am not at home very often (seldom at home after high school), and many people in the village can’t recognize me when they see me, and I just have a vague impression in my mind; not coming out.
I used to play with mud when I was a child, and I was going to dig some for the children to play with, but when I walked to the ground, I couldn't find where the mud was. The place where I used to play in my childhood memories has become arable land, and weeds are growing where there are no crops. I can no longer see children playing here. Now there are mobile phones, and no one plays with mud anymore. Mobile phones are the clay we played with back then. I used to think the village was very big, but now it looks very small, probably because I have grown up.
It's summer, and I'm going to catch a few cicada monkeys (locally called pa cha), but the village is basically gone, extinct, and the cicada's cry can no longer be heard. The poplar trees were cut down because they had a lot of cotton wool, and they were bare. There were no big trees to shade them, so how could it not be hot? It may also be eaten by people. A fried one can be sold for more than 1 yuan, and the nutritional value is very high. In the small woods in other villages, you can find some cicada molting skins on the tree trunks, which can be regarded as letting the baby know what the cicadas were like before they sloughed.
The fathers of the fathers have basically passed away, and occasionally I can see a few, saying that I might disappear one day, and time is so hurried. I really met this side, and I can't say whether I can see the next side.
There are mostly middle-aged and elderly people and children, and the young people are gone. Naturally, they go out to work. Most of the crops are contracted to others. It is enough to keep a little enough for food. Sometimes the village has to buy vegetables. This was unimaginable before. Whose family Vegetables are not grown on private plots. Cars are no longer a rare item, no matter how good they are, they can be seen everywhere. With the promotion of the new countryside, some villages are indeed beautifully built, and the activity centers in large venues can host many activities. When I was a child, watching movies was arranged in a big pit, with a wide-screen cloth, and people from several villages ran over to watch it.
The county is expanding rapidly, and more and more buildings are being built. Several villages around the county have been bulldozed and turned into high-end residential areas in the city. The children naturally say that they are going to the city to study. Many young people in the village are also there. After buying a house in the city, their descendants will become city dwellers (this is probably urbanization).
There are two large supermarkets in the town, with an area of tens of thousands of square meters, which is not much different from the large supermarkets in the city. The main roads in each village are basically cemented asphalt roads, so you don’t have to worry about the difficulty of driving in rainy days. There are also solar street lights on the roadside, which will automatically light up at night. However, the village is getting hotter, which is probably related to the road surface and houses. Standing on the dirt road at the head of the village, the temperature is obviously much lower than that of the cement road next to it, which is very intuitive (urban heat island effect).
Regardless of adults or children, they basically play Douyin Kuaishou, and some even make jokes by themselves. Everyone in the village basically knows who makes jokes (algorithm push). Divorce rate is very high, second marriage and third marriage is nothing new, society is developing, and people's hearts are also enlightened.
I don’t know when the betel nuts flowed into the village. Many people chewed and chewed for nothing. Usually, I would remind them to eat less, and be careful of mouth damage in the future (the incidence of oral cancer is high).
No one talks about the Internet, no one talks about AI, and no one talks about stocks. There are no such concepts in the village. Some of them are parents who are short-sighted and trivial. Automatic mahjong machines have long been standard. , Talk about homework.
In response to that sentence: the city cannot house the soul, and the countryside cannot house the body. In the future, with the departure of the parents, the countryside will become smaller, the nostalgia will become more interesting, and the population will decrease.
