The "indicators" of the Spring Festival long holiday are about to end, and in the past two days, many people have embarked on the return journey, and "trunk" has become a hot word. Recently, a small video taken by Mr. Luo who returned to his hometown in Hubei for the New Year was on the hot search, fresh vegetables, peanuts, and pickles at home... It was full, and the entire trunk was loaded into a "vegetable market" by my mother.
Every year, people dry the trunk, and such a scene always touches people's hearts. Those colorful local goods packed in the trunk are the concern of parents who want to stop talking, the increasingly mellow and intense nostalgia of adults, and the blood connection between you and the native land of your hometown.
A place has a local taste, and everyone has their own memories of their hometown. When wandering outside becomes a way of life, when you always travel between your hometown and other places, the trunk that your mother fills for you is actually a mobile hometown, a family harbor that always follows and always supports.
Grandma's mugwort dumplings, mother's chili sauce, hometown's unique sausages, balls, egg dumplings, as well as local chicken and eggs... Filled with bags are heavy delicacies, and endless is the concern of the family.
How are you doing outside? Are you used to eating? Did you live well? Parents who are far away in their hometown may not be able to control it, but parents will always express their thoughts in their own way. The "characteristics" brought back from home are the taste of hometown, and it is also a sense of being carefully cared for and far-reaching.
Many people have also noticed that over the years, the "native goods" posted by people who have returned to their hometowns have become more and more abundant and abundant. Why are mothers able to take more and more things away from their children? Because today's rural China is indeed developing better and better, and the living standards of every household have changed dramatically.
Every life is interactive. Although this interaction between urban and rural areas only occurs between family members, it is equally of sociological value. Of course, those who work outside the country have to give back to the countryside, and today's villages are increasingly capable of giving practical help to their sons and daughters outside. This is not the same as people's usual perception, but it is undoubtedly a welcome change.
An increasingly rich trunk, while allowing people returning to the city to feel the concern of their parents, will also have a sense of steadiness. Everyone is doing their own thing steadily, and they are all running hard in their own tracks. Isn't this kind of ordinary life the life we have wanted for a long time?
A long Spring Festival holiday, with family, family affection is everything. Those who return home put down the hard shell outside and experience a comfortable position that has been lost for a long time; Parents and family are counting the days the children are leaving.
Across thousands of rivers and mountains, only for the reunion of the family; Walk through thousands of mountains and rivers and start a new struggle. This is also a normal situation, living endlessly, never giving up.
Let's go back. Packing up your mood, packing "love and concern", and returning to your own track is not an option, but an inevitability of life. And you are also in the clutch with your relatives in your hometown, gradually becoming hometown, becoming a memory, becoming homesickness.
Just a week ago, people who went home for the New Year were still "drying" gifts for their families, and what they packed home at that time was full of "love and joy"; Today, those who return are packed and taken away with them full of "love and concern". Different directions, the same deep affection of love, this comes and goes also carries a long thought of traditional China.
