What did you know after you went to the south?

Before answering this question, I looked at it and basically everyone said it. Gee, I'll say something different in another way.

1 railway service

The landlord's home is in the northeast and his home is in Guangxi. It is also an extension of his footprint to the north and south. It's not that local tyrants are not used to flying. Let's talk about the railway service on the north-south train!

When I took the train a few years ago, I always felt that the train attendants in the north were really awesome. He is really the boss. He is the second child and is tired of mopping the floor. He shouted at me, and the passengers honestly packed up the remaining melon seeds and stopped talking and watching the scenery. There is a railway accent outside the words. Not that there are mines at home, but most of them graduated from junior high school and stayed for two years. After leaving the army, I directly took the Lao Tzu class and took up the iron rice bowl. At that time, the railway collective was so large that the conductor could not be taunted.

The railway service in the south is relatively mild, because most of the train attendants and even the train attendants are recruited by contract, for fear of offending passengers by making mistakes in complaints. The so-called paid work, if you can't do it well, you will leave, and the service quality is relatively better than that in the north. It is purely personal experience. I don't know if you feel this way.

2 Nightlife

The year before last, I went back to my hometown Harbin to have dinner with my long-lost brother. It's only half past eight after ordering, and the nightlife in the south has just begun. I wanted to have a drink with my brother to catch up, but my brother said anxiously, it's so late, eat quickly, and don't delay people's closing! What? I'm at a loss. Shut up? What time is it now? Fortunately, I asked the waiter, and Hong Kong really closed at 1 1! Well, it suddenly occurred to me that this is the north, and it is still winter. The supermarket closes at eight. Do you still want to drink till dawn? In the final analysis, the poor nightlife economy in Northeast China is related to the cold climate. The days are short and the nights are long in winter, and it gets dark at 4: 30 in the afternoon. In the weather of MINUS 20 degrees, you either keep warm or sit on a hot kang. It is better to cook white wine in hot pot at home on a snowy night.

3 bride price

Many Vietnamese girls are married to the Northeast through illegal intermediaries. The girl is virtuous and the husband's family is happy! The key is to save money and save 200,000 to 300,000 bride price. Is it a surprise for the girls in Guangxi? Are the handsome guys surprised? Ha ha! A sky-high bride price? Yes, but the northeast people are used to it. According to the custom left by our ancestors, it is forbidden to perform filial piety at parents' knees when our daughters are married, to show respect for their husbands and children, to honor their parents-in-law, and to marry with ceremony. However, at present, the bride price is generally given directly to the young couple, either to buy a house or a car, or as a start-up fund, regardless of parents. But how much bride price and dowry can be given before marriage depends on each other's family strength and ability. After all, modern society can't be full of affection and water. However, many rural areas borrowed money to propose marriage, and finally family disputes even appeared on legal programs. But Guangdong and Guangxi, especially Guangxi, are much more relaxed. Although they don't want expensive dowry like India, they will tear up the bride, at least get married a few years earlier, and love can be repaired without money, haha! This makes men in Northeast China envy and hate!

4 food market

No matter in the north or the south, there are always daily necessities in life. I don't know if the north and south vegetable markets have been noticed by friends, but they also have their own advantages. In winter, the vegetable market in the south is open-air, and there are all kinds of lush vegetables. The food markets in the north are all indoor, and the cotton curtains need to be heated. Outdoor is a natural refrigerator, with all kinds of frozen pears, frozen fish and frozen persimmons. Vegetables in the south are basically washed and set up. They are green, dripping with water, as if soaked in the dew in the morning. The potato skins in Huang Cancan are thin and slippery. The boss said that if you want to peel it, you have to peel it. I can help you insert shredded potatoes if you are not busy. Chicken, duck, beef and mutton, as much as you want, sliced or thick? Hot pot is still a service of cooking, so it is no wonder that the fire of reform and opening up should start from the south. Of course, we men in the north are not vegetarians. How many bundles of onions do we need? How many bags of radishes? Don't weigh more than five pounds of pork. It's embarrassing to squeeze into the pile of uncles and aunts. In autumn, there are several cabbages and bags of potatoes. Do you want a whole pig or half a pig? What are you doing? What is this? In winter, pickled sauerkraut, killing pigs! Either the northeast people drink in a big bowl and eat large pieces of meat without covering! What the hell? One word and the whole thing will be over.

5 obsession with snow

After five years on the railway, every time the train goes from south to north, when it snows, the passengers in the south will always jump down from the sleeper and shout, don't sleep, look at the snow outside! The children are in high spirits, and the adults take selfies in the carriage and make friends. Finally, the train stopped at the platform. I wanted to have a close contact with the snow in my circle of friends, but the snow just fell on the platform in bits and pieces and melted, just like the excitement of passengers disappeared, so I had to continue to look at the snowflake I just photographed to comfort myself.

I always feel that friends in the south have a soft spot for snow, just as I like the lush green trees on both sides of Nanning streets in winter. Half of the city is covered with green trees and half of the tower is covered with mango trees. Look at what the northern countries have shown: a hundred miles of frozen Go; Thousands of miles of snow. The motherland is vast in territory and abundant in resources, regardless of north and south, separated only by a strip of water, regardless of equality or not.

As an authentic northerner who has lived in the north for more than ten years, he came to the south to go to college, only to find that there is such a big difference between the north and the south.

I. Dialect

As we all know, Putonghua is a dialect with Beijing dialect as the standard pronunciation, northern dialect as the basic dialect, and typical modern vernacular works as the language standard of modern Chinese speakers.

Northern dialects, except Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, have similar grammatical structures and are easy to understand, such as the familiar Northeast dialect. In fact, most northern dialects are relatively easy to understand.

But after arriving in the south, I discovered that there are many dialects in the south that are obscure. Jiangxi dialect can be exaggerated, one in each village. If the northern dialect is abcd, then the southern dialect is based on abcd and has four syllables. I once listened carefully to the speeches of Nanchang locals on the bus, but I still didn't understand a word.

Second, buy food.

Northerners sell vegetables by tons, while southerners buy vegetables by tons.

Northerners usually go to the vegetable market to buy food and hoard food for a week or ten days and a half.

Buying vegetables in the south is completely different. He may buy an onion, a packet of garlic and a potato. Just enough to eat. If you buy potatoes in the north, the boss may peel you ... but if you buy potatoes in the south, you can also ask the boss to peel them for you. Buying meat for 35 yuan can make the boss grind into meat or let the boss peel corn.

Third, the weather

Before I came to the south, I knew that the temperature in the south was higher than that in the north, especially in summer. But in the south, I found myself still very young.

The temperature in the north is obvious at noon and afternoon, and occasionally there is a cool breeze blowing, which is quite comfortable and cool in the morning and evening. The weather in the south is sultry from getting up at six in the morning to going to bed at night 12, like being in a steamer.

The rainy season in the south will catch you off guard. One second the sky is clear in Wan Li, the next it's raining cats and dogs, and the next it's clear in Wan Li, which seems to catch you off guard. Therefore, it is necessary to form the habit of carrying an umbrella with you in the south. You can take an umbrella if it is too hot, or if it rains suddenly. Otherwise, it is not easy to become a drowned rat.

Winter in the south is also difficult. The first thing to do after entering the house in the north is to take off your coat. Northerners who come to the south to take off their coats skillfully will freeze to the point where you doubt life. And you never know what magic snow is when it is in the hearts of southern students.

Fourth, take a bath.

Southerners bathe three times a day, while northerners bathe once every three days.

In fact, this is also caused by regional differences. The weather in the north is dry and it is not easy to sweat. The air in the south is humid and sultry, which makes you sweat in minutes, and there is much water in the south! ! !

Do you take a bath every day?

Northerner: Yes, but it's not necessary.

The weather in the south will tell you that your head will be unscrewed.

Verb (short for verb) insect

In the south, you can see cockroaches flying around and spiders the size of children's fists, which instantly makes you lose the image of a man in the north.

This is not the most terrible. The biggest complaint is the poisonous mosquitoes in the south. Unlike mosquitoes in the north, being stared at by mosquitoes will have a feeling of being pricked by needles. When you feel it, it has x entered your body. If you react quickly enough, you can shoot there, but you will still leave a bag the size of a cherry, which will make you lost in thought.

I have been from the north to the south for more than ten years. When I first came to the south, I found many different living habits, and I also saw many vegetables, fruits and animals (mainly insects) that I had never seen in the north.
