Nowadays, many people are tired of the high-stress life in the city and want to go to the countryside to live a self-sufficient rural life. In addition, Li Ziqi's videos in recent years have rendered the promotion of rural life so beautiful, romantic and picturesque, and it has made some people who are unhappy and happy in the city full of yearning and longing for rural life.
I thought that I could live a beautiful life like her when I went to the countryside. Being able to breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the beautiful scenery is as quiet as an idyll, and there is a warm and peaceful place everywhere, just like Tao Yuanming's paradise.
From now on, you can also live a carefree pastoral life of [picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan]. I want to say that rural life is not as beautiful as everyone thinks, and those good things are all bought by people with how much hard work and how much price they pay.
First of all, we have to find a relatively satisfactory farm yard, which is already very difficult. Some older people are not in good health and want to go to the countryside to live for the elderly on the one hand, and to regulate their bodies on the other. So it's not a good place to choose, it's not too humid and not too dry, it's not too hot and not too cold.
The altitude is too high, and it has an impact on patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Anyway, it's a lot of worry to find a farm yard in any city. Because of my personality, I longed for the rural life when I was a girl. I have always had a dream of seclusion, wanting to isolate myself from the world and live an unrestrained and unconcerned rural life.
Six years ago, I started to go to Hainan to escape the cold because I was afraid of the cold. However, in Hainan, it is more difficult to find a cost-effective rural yard than to climb to the sky. At that time, it would cost at least 20,000 yuan a year to rent a rural yard, so I left after spending the winter there. Later, from Haikou to Zhanjiang, from Zhanjiang to Nanning, from Nanning to Guilin, and from Guilin back to his hometown.
I went out and came back again and again, looking for my favorite farm yard. In the end, I didn't get anything, but I tossed myself enough, and some problems were caused in this way. Therefore, it is better for people who are not in good health to find a house nearby, otherwise it will really outweigh the losses.
Three years ago, I came to Yunnan after meeting a Buddhist friend who lives in rural Dali, Yunnan. The climate here is really good, warm in winter and cool in summer. It's not hot all summer, and I even have to cover myself with a quilt every night. It's just that the ultraviolet rays are too strong during the day, and my whole body is tanned and my face is spotted.
Due to the small reputation of this Buddhist town in recent years, there is an endless stream of people from all over the country who come here every year to learn Buddhism and recuperate. As a result, the rent of the farmhouse courtyard here is also rising, and the house price is getting higher and higher year by year, and it can even be compared with Sanya and other places in Hainan.
As soon as I got out of the car the year before last, I found the landlord of the courtyard rented by the Buddhist friend I knew, and she had already left to return to her hometown. I told the landlord to rent one of the courtyards, because they had put things in the other room, and there was a place for his father's spiritual seat. Although his yard has two floors, only the first floor can be occupied, and the second floor is not decorated.
The old farmhouse courtyard here is basically like this, and only the first floor can live in it. Their house does not have a place to take a bath, and the toilet is also the kind of dry toilet that has to go more than ten meters behind. It took me several days to clean the room, buy seeds and plant vegetables on the field outside the room.
At that time, this yard was rented
After only half a month, the landlord came to me, saying that they were going to renovate the house and asked me to find another place. Later, I learned that this house was taken by a female resident, and she lied to the landlord that she would decorate the house for him and sign a rental contract with him for a long time.
I was so angry that I reasoned with the landlord for a long time. Because I told him before that another room was also rented to me, and their medicinal herbs and his father's spiritual throne asked them to leave. I mean, I want to rent the whole yard.
Although the yard is damp, cold and too heavy, there is no way, it is really difficult to rent a suitable yard here. So I thought about chartering the landlord's entire yard. But in order to get the lady to renovate the house for him, he drove me away and rented it to her.
Later, the layman did not decorate the house for them at all, but built a simple bathroom out of asbestos tiles. Pay the rent for one house once a year. It means that she only spent 2,000 yuan to rent a yard, live in it alone, and have two big dogs. Later I heard that the landlord seemed to regret renting the house to her.
The room of the courtyard that was driven away at the time
After the landlord evicted me, I stayed in the old inn for about a month and then went to Dali City. The rural houses around Dali are also very expensive. I also heard that some outsiders rented a house in Dali to open an inn and were slaughtered by the landlord. Some have spent a lot of money and effort to renovate the landlord's house, and have been repeatedly raised rents or even evicted by the landlord.
Some people want to settle down in Dali and spend tens of millions to buy a house built by a developer, but they haven't got the real estate certificate for several years, and the house has not been built and renovated.
Because it seems that the government of any place will only defend the locals, and will only stand on the side of the locals. Or some developers from other places run away as soon as they get the money, and no one can find them. What I'm talking about is not aimed at Dali, because such things happen all over the country, and it depends on your luck.
I came to this town again last summer, and I didn't plan to come again because I fell in Dali and had a hard time combing my hair with cartilage tissue contusions, so I came to this Buddhist town again. I've lived here for more than a year now, and I've moved three or four times. Moving from one inn to another.
I stayed at this inn a few times in the beginning, and I stayed at his house a few times. His home is also 400 a month, including water, electricity, kitchen and bathroom. When it was time for the National Day, they even asked me to move to the small attic above the kitchen, because there were several security guards who wanted to rent his house on the National Day.
I told the landlord that I rented the room first, and there was always a first-come-first-served room, right? Besides, I had a lot of things, and it was very inconvenient to move around. The landlord said I'd move back when they stayed for a few days and left. I said, why bother? Isn't that redundant? Can't a couple of big men let me go?
In addition, I had a well-covered quilt, and the landlord actually asked me to take it down and cover these security guards. Because inns generally provide bedding such as quilts, some inns also provide permanent tenants with kitchen supplies such as rice cookers, induction cookers, and chopsticks, in fact, these things are also left by tenants who left before, and the landlord also borrows flowers to offer Buddha, which is also more conducive to renting out the house.
They didn't ask me, they threw away the courier box I put in the kitchen, and put the kitchen table in a place that directly blocked the cupboard, so it was inconvenient for me to take the dishes and chopsticks. Although I set the table out again,。。。。 But these things made me feel bullied by the landlord, so I moved to another inn.
Later I wondered why I was bullied by my landlord, because they thought I was kind and too easy to talk to. Because when I lived at his house, I sometimes bought fruit and gave them some of it. And when they went out to work, they left their father at home alone, and often had no food.
An eighty or ninety-year-old man who couldn't eat by himself scolded the couple every day for not being filial. I can't look past it, as long as I buy snacks and biscuits at the market, I will take some for the elderly to eat. Sometimes they also cook noodles for the elderly. Their clothes are dried outside, and when it rains, I often collect clothes for them. So my kindness and honesty became the reason for being bullied by them.
moved to the second inn, and the room was also four hundred yuan a month. The kitchen and bathroom are shared, and the room is less than ten square meters, and there are two bunk beds inside. What is more attractive is that his house has a big kitchen and a big gazebo on which I can bask in the sun to write, paint, and bask in the sun.
There lived a female Buddhist layman, a native of Guangdong, who was a few years younger than me. Because I have been in contact with her a few times, she speaks softly, very gently, and always smiles. So I thought she was better and easier to deal with, so I treated her like a friend.
I gave her clothes and masks, bought snacks, and made delicious food. She said how to set up and use the kitchen, I basically listened to her and followed her. She let her take advantage of whatever she wanted, and I never lost my temper with her. I didn't expect that in order for herself to live in that inn, she asked me several times to see a house in a village with bad folk customs.
She herself said that there were men in that village who specialized in harassing female lay people who were studying Buddhism. She also asked me to go to a very, very far away, dozens of kilometers from the town, even if it is inconvenient to ride an electric car. Anyway, she was polite to me on the surface, and tried her best to drive me away behind the scenes.
Several times, she either asked me to go to work in a nursing home or to work in a vegetarian restaurant. I chatted with her every day, and repeatedly said that I came to Yunnan to recuperate. She tried her best to get me away, and then I couldn't stand it anymore and moved out again. Later, several people stayed in the inn one after another, and then she also left.
The house I live in now also lives with the landlord, but the room has a bathroom although there is no kitchen. At first, they didn't cover me with five or six quilts, I said that I had placed an order online, and I would cover it for a few days, but now it's so cold in winter, and the inns where I live provide quilts.
I didn't say yes, so I covered myself with thick clothes as a quilt for a few days. Fortunately, it is not particularly cold in winter, otherwise you would have to be sick. Because I have so many things, plus I've moved a few times, I'm so tired, I don't want to move anymore. In addition, I felt that I couldn't meet a good landlord, and the epidemic was always good and bad, so I rented it at his house for more than a year.
For some reason, I wanted to leave around August last year, and I already said that I would not rent his house and would go back to my hometown. But seeing that the landlord sister gave me a few more days, and then helped me understand the number of trains to the county, and my hometown was still very hot in August, so I stayed again. Because I always remember her good, I try to forget all her bad.
In fact, during the time I lived in his house, I also went to look for a house, and I still felt that it was more convenient to rent a yard by myself. It's really too difficult, there is no suitable one, either too expensive or too old, there is no way to live in it. During this time, I also met an agent who introduced the house to the layman.
She's been here for a long time, so she knows which yards to rent out that don't live there. At first, I believed in her, thinking that I was lucky enough to meet a good person, so she took me to a village a little far from the town and looked at the houses of the two families.
One said that he was going to renovate now, and he asked me to say what the decoration would look like, and then I would pay the rent at that decoration price. There is also an older yard that I was more satisfied with, saying that it would be up to 4,000 a year, because her family has four rooms, and she has to occupy one room to put things, and each room is more than ten square meters without decoration, and there is no bathroom, so she has to go to the new house above them to go to the toilet.
The landlord said at first that she didn't want to make money, as long as she had enough for living expenses, and she didn't shout such a high price like others. At the time, I thought that this landlord was very nice and kind, but I didn't expect that this agent deliberately pushed me away when I was looking at the house and asked me to go upstairs to have a look.
When I went to the second floor, this agent didn't know what to whisper to the landlord. Later, she told me that the landlord no longer rented the house, and it would take at least 10,000 yuan a year to rent. I realized that she was the one who raised the house price, and asked the landlord to rent it so expensive, so she could make money on both sides and get commissions. Fortunately, I didn't really like it, even if it was so expensive, I wouldn't rent it.
Therefore, after these things, I advise you to go to the countryside to live for a long time, first, the most important thing is to understand the folk customs of that place, that is, the folk customs of each village in a county and a town are different, some of the folk customs are simple, and some of the folk customs are very poor, you must understand it well, and safety is always the first.
Don't rent a place that is too remote, preferably not far from the county town, and have neighbors around, so that it is more convenient and safer to buy things. Especially for single women, it is best not to say that they are single to outsiders, so that you can avoid a lot of trouble.
It's best to change the lock of the rented house and raise a dog or two to take care of the home. Surveillance cameras can be installed if possible. Learn a little self-defense when you have time and exercise more, just in case. In case you can't beat others, you have to outrun them.
Second, when you go to find a farmer's house, don't easily believe the self-media on the Internet that help people find a house. Although some are more reliable, most of them should be unreliable, and they should be screened carefully. What else is the village house, the seclusion bar, the Douban pastoral group, etc., some netizens posted an article saying how good they were in that place, and posted some beautiful pictures to attract others to the past.
Some of some people's drawings are simply stolen from the Internet, although some may be true, but most of them are fake, deceitful, and ill-intentioned. People who are really reclusive or living an idyllic life, will he tell you where they will introduce you? Don't say that maybe they really don't know where there is an empty yard in that place, and even if they do, they won't tell anyone else.
Isn't it good for them to live alone or as a family? Isn't it beautiful to live their own life quietly? Why do you want to introduce so many people to make a noisy and miserable situation? Otherwise, the people who introduce you will either cheat you out of your money or try to lust for you, and what they are most afraid of is that they will lose both money and money.
Also, if you rent a house, you must first understand the character of the landlord, and you can ask the neighbors nearby, although the neighbors may not necessarily tell the truth. Don't tidy up his house or renovate it and then he will drive you away so that you can rent it to someone else at a high price.
So we rent a house, and if we can live in it, we try to make do with it. Don't spend a lot of money on renovating the house in the first place, adding this thing and buying that equipment. If you encounter a landlord with a bad character, you may lose your wife and soldiers.
Third, it is best not to rent the house on the first floor, especially those houses for the ancestors, which are really damp and heavy, and ordinary people can't stand it. Especially people who are not in good health, women themselves are yin deficiency, and living in such a house, that magnetic field will make people's bodies more uncomfortable and their bodies worse.
Especially at night, I will be so scared that I can't sleep, I always feel that there is something invisible around me, and I am so scared that I don't know what to do when there is any sound or movement. So it's better to have neighbors around the house, not too close.
At that time, I lived in the old courtyard that was evicted by the landlord, and I was worried every night, and I had to put the Buddha praise all night before I could fall asleep. There is also a need to find out if there are any people who died unnaturally in that house. Houses that are much cheaper than the market price are generally problematic.
Finally, don't trust others easily, don't deal with other people, even if they are studying Buddhism. Because those who study Buddhism are also ordinary people, some people will also deceive and even harm others for the sake of profit, for their own selfishness. Therefore, it is said that the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of preventing others is indispensable, and the fewer people you come into contact with, the better.
Don't talk about your privacy, the more they know about you, the more they know how to treat you and calculate you. Don't expose your wealth, and don't let others think that you are honest and poor, otherwise you will be angry and bullied everywhere. Sometimes the more kind and tolerant they are, the more they will get in.
Now there is not a popular saying that the urban routine is deep, I want to go back to the countryside, the rural roads are too slippery, and people's hearts are more complicated. Although the rural areas are getting better and better, it is recognized that the folk customs are not as simple as before.
Rural people in the development areas are still a little more open and tolerant, and in the rural areas of those remote areas, it is inevitable that a foreigner will be talked about if he goes to live, so he must have the ability to bear it. Places with great fame and beautiful scenery have been developed into tourist attractions. So the price and rent are not affordable for ordinary people.
If it is too remote, the people there may be simple, and the people there have not yet been materialized, but it may not be safe for a person, and it is very inconvenient to shop, transportation, and medical care. Therefore, before going out, you must do a good job of strategy, choose a good place, and don't follow the crowd.
It's a good idea to go to places that sound like a good place to rent for a few months, get a good idea of what is going on, and then decide if it's really right for you. Don't go to that place with great fanfare, engage in construction, breeding, decoration, and do that. If you meet a village tyrant, you may be empty of people and money, and losing money is still a trivial matter, and the most feared thing is that your life will be in danger.
