How much does it cost to live in the countryside for a month?

Nowadays, the pressure of urban life is also quite great, and the expenses are also high. If there is no room, you have to rent a house. If you have a room, you have to pay seven fees and eight fees, and you have to buy food. Everything is inseparable from money. In rural areas, it seems that the cost is better. Generally, rural areas want their own houses, and the seven fees and eight fees are also a little less. You can also grow your own food. Talk about the cost of living in a rural area in the central coastal province for one month.

First, the cost of food. My parents live in the countryside, but they don't have their own fields, so they don't grow food for many years. In undeveloped land, vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes and so on are the main ones. Basically, vegetables are solved by themselves. Buy some pork and fish, and add oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for one month, which is about enough for two people to use 500 yuan, rice 150 yuan, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar 100 yuan, and 250 yuan's money for vegetables and fruits. In my parents' generation, fruits and the like were rarely bought, so I usually bought some cheap fruits. Eat apples in the season of apples and oranges in the season of oranges.

Second, housing and transportation costs. Because I live in my own house in the countryside, there is no rent, and the cost is mainly water and electricity. On average, a month's water and electricity bill is around 200 yuan. My parents are in the countryside and have no idea of going shopping or traveling in the city. Generally speaking, they just go to the market of the annex to buy what they need. Basic public transportation can solve the problem, and the annual cost is estimated to be around 300 yuan.

Third, the expenditure on clothes. Parents are really frugal in their clothes. If they buy their own clothes, a few hundred dollars is already very expensive. It is estimated that two people have to solve 2000 yuan for clothes, shoes and socks a year.

In fact, the biggest expense in rural life may be the gift money, which is needed for marriage and children.
