My wife's uncle's family is in a small mountain village in Xiuning County, Huangshan City, and I went there for the first time to visit the New Year. I didn't think that the house was built so well, two children each had a three-story building. In front of the house is a farmland pond, in the distance is a cloudy mountain, behind the house is a neat tea garden, it is very pleasant. People who have lived in the city for a long time will definitely feel like a paradise when they visit this place for the first time.
Usually the eldest is in Guangzhou, the second is in Shanghai, the old couple is in Hangzhou, and the two houses that cost more than 500,000 yuan to build at that time can only come back to live for a few days in the New Year.
A relative at the dinner table said that it was better to have so much money than to buy a house in a big city. The uncle said: No matter how long you live outside, no matter how good you live, you can't forget this "root", and the fallen leaves will always return to the root. Although I only come back for a few days every year, I am very down-to-earth and feel that this is the real home.
I think both have their own reasons, northerners seem to prefer to settle in big cities, and the old house can not be done well. Southerners, even when settled in big cities, can't forget to put together their homes. Maybe this is a regional difference.
