The fourth day of the first lunar month. Continuous rain turns cloudy. At first glance, the sun is slightly drunk and refreshing.
Go to my cousin's house to pay my respects. There are birds chirping, chickens chirping, and occasionally firecrackers can be heard.
There has been little change in the village houses, and the two-storey buildings were mostly built in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
A small car drove by, the horn on the roof of the car played recruitment information, is a village-run enterprise recruiting workers, in this land dominated by aquaculture and agriculture, there are also small enterprises, generally a certain product processing.
There weren't many people in the village, even for the New Year. First, some of the people who went out of the village settled in their homes, and the village became their second hometown; some migrant workers did not necessarily go home for the New Year. In the 1980s, China's family planning policy had a huge impact on the rural population structure, when the first child in the countryside was a girl who could have another child, and the boy was the same as the urban people, a couple could only have one child, and the brother-in-law's family was the only child. The nephew nodded Chinese New Year's Eve, although the family planning policy has been liberalized, but the nephew and the nephew and daughter-in-law are insisting on not having a second child. Everyone is accustomed to having a child, and indeed feels that the pressure of a child is small, so why should they let themselves suffer more? Young people's values and outlook on fertility have changed dramatically, both in the city and in the countryside.
The brother-in-law and his brother live next to each other. The younger brother's son is twenty-seven years old this year and has not talked about the object, the young man works in Shenzhen, the pace of work is fast, and his mother said that there is no time to fall in love. It was not easy to go home in the New Year, the family was busy giving him blind dates, and there were few girls in several nearby villages, and it was not easy to find a suitable one. According to the data of the national census, the proportion of men over women is obvious, and it is estimated that it is related to the rural family planning policy in the 1980s.
Nowadays, the rural network has long been popularized, young people are not at home on weekdays, and when they come back from the New Year's Festival, they are also staying at home to surf the Internet, not to mention the eight townships, that is, the young people in the nearby villages rarely interact. If there is no exchange of information and no circulation, where is the romantic love exchange? Where are the vigorous clouds chasing the moon? Young people's views on marriage and love are also changing.
Parents are very anxious, but young people are very disgusted by their parents' urging to marry, and it is the same all over the country.
