Where does home belong? Modern prose

Birds build nests with their mouths, and people buy houses and homes with money. They all want a place to rest when they are tired, a place to sleep at night, or, to put it mildly, a warm harbor. I don't know whether birds have brains, I should say, yes, but the thinking of birds is much simpler than that of humans. In fact, careful observation shows that the nesting place of birds is also very particular, and they also want to find a sunny corner that can shelter from the wind and rain.

If birds settle down casually, then people's concept of settlement is much more complicated.

In today's society, the fast pace of work, great pressure of life, fierce competition and frequent changes often make people run around and feel at a loss. It is becoming an inevitable trend that families follow people and people move with their families. Often when the work unit is transferred, the family will move away and need to relocate in or near the work unit. Because the work unit is too far away from home, it is not easy to go home for a long time, and it is not easy to spend more time with family members, so apply for job transfer, or use various relationships, and use all kinds of manpower, material resources and financial resources to adjust the work to a place close to home. It is euphemistically called that being close to home is conducive to taking care of the family and facilitating walking. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is conducive to taking care of children and spending more time with his wife and children.

The work unit has changed many times, and I have to move many times. 1 1 years ago, I just joined the work and worked in a small coal mine. After being introduced, I found someone who got married and started a family. Soon, due to the change of the unit management system, I moved my family out of that remote mountain village and moved to a more prosperous place. At that time, the salary was low, barely maintaining two mouths. There is no furniture and no household appliances. In one afternoon, I finished pulling a car and moved it easily and quickly. After moving, there was no ready-made housing, so I temporarily found two shops on the roadside of the unit to simply tidy up and settle down. I don't need to say more about the street environment. Coal cars come and go day and night, and coal dust flies, which makes people feel ashamed and noisy, and the quality of life can be seen. Half a year later, the unit took care of me and assigned me two houses in the company yard, one for the kitchen and the other for the bedroom. Housing conditions have been initially improved.

Two years later, the economy has accumulated to a certain extent, breaking through many obstacles and buying a suite in the hospital at home. Although the area is only over 50 square meters, there is a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. For a farmer who grew up in bitter water, I have been very satisfied from the heart. The small house was badly decorated, and I had my own study for the first time. That kind of excitement and happiness is like a beggar suddenly owning a villa overnight, and he wants to jump for joy!

Folk proverb "? Three moves are like fire. "Every time I move, something will inevitably be discarded and damaged. I can't remember how many times I moved, and I can't remember how many things I lost because of the damage caused by moving.

Get up early when you move, and be greedy for the dark. You must clean up here and there. You must sweat and get dirty. Size is a home, you can't see it without moving. On the whole, everything at home is a mess. You have to tidy up one by one, climb high and low, lift it up and tie it there. The workload is quite heavy, and there are many seemingly insignificant chores, which makes me very tired. Sometimes I really don't want to move, I really don't want to bear the external sin of moving, I don't want to bear the loss of moving, and more importantly, I really want to live in one place, but for various reasons, I finally have to choose to move and move around.

If you want to move, it seems that you have made full preparations and planned this plan a few days in advance, even though you have considered it carefully in advance. At this time, it is inevitable that you will be busy taking care of one thing and losing another. It is not obvious to load furniture into the car, but it is found that the space of the car is small and the furniture can't fit. If the moving distance is close, it is good to say that it can't run; Then it's a few hundred kilometers away, so it's a bit uneconomical to move and run for the second time. No choice but to pick up important furniture and move it, and the old ones have to be sold on the spot. As a result, things with an original price of several hundred yuan were sold for dozens of dollars. There used to be five bookcases, but when I moved, I couldn't put them in the car, so I had to reluctantly sell three. The sofa and bar are not willing to sell anyway, so we have to pretend. No matter how beautiful the commitment of the moving company is, no matter how the furniture is protected, it is inevitable that one piece will be knocked off here and one piece will be rubbed off there. The scarred furniture became the witness of my moving, as if telling my moving history.

Over the years, I have been engaged in writing and like reading and buying books. Over time, from less to more, I didn't expect a lot of books in the study, which greatly increased the workload of moving, and unconsciously became a big burden of moving. Faced with a large number of books, moving workers have every reason to raise their wages. Piles of books are really heavy to move. In order to speed up the moving progress and reduce the moving cost, we should pick up unimportant books that have been interdependent for many years every time we move, and sell them to junk collectors.

Reading has broadened my horizons and learned a lot. Reading has benefited me a lot. More importantly, the book is my old friend who has been with me for many years. When I am proud, books do not flatter me; When I was frustrated, she didn't sneer. On the contrary, she comforted me and encouraged me. If I don't move, I mean I won't sell my beloved book.

After the book was sold, I felt guilty of betraying and abandoning my friends, and my conscience was a little uneasy. I seem ashamed to meet people.

Speaking of home, you have to say house. Home is the carrier of the house, and the house is the clothes of the house. The two are inseparable for a moment. So some people simply confuse the house with the home. The man is married, calling a family, and the woman is more anxious. Just when introducing the object, he first asked if the object had a house. Once a girl answers that she doesn't have a house, she feels insecure and the reliability of the object is questionable. Even if the young men are excellent, it is difficult to offset the regret of not having a house, and some simply hang up the "don't talk" card. In the past, there was no trouble in buying a house. However, the allocation of housing should be based on seniority, and there must be many relationships and conditions. Many young people with poor qualifications can't get on the list and have a lot of troubles. With the reform and opening up, real estate development is extremely hot, and large tracts of complete sets of houses are waving to people, for fear that people will not live in general. I didn't expect the house price to be too expensive for ordinary people, and new troubles came out again. Some people don't understand, they will say, can't it be mortgaged? Even if you can borrow money to buy a house, the bank is not a charity, and you have to pay it back, and it is paid for use. You have to pay interest, a large loan every month, and more importantly, there are hundreds of thousands of down payments!

Everyone wants to have a family, and everyone wants to have a house. Is this wrong? Not bad. The problem is that some people buy houses not for housing, but for real estate speculation, to make money, to make others unable to afford houses, and to make others homeless.

The house price is so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it. Just rent a house. The feeling of renting a house, living in someone else's house, always has a psychological feeling of "relying on others", which is always uncomfortable and not practical. Moreover, while the house price is rising, the rent is also rising, which is surprisingly high, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

Some people say that simply not buying a house and renting a house for a lifetime can also save a lot of money to buy a house. It looks like a good deal, but buying a house is not. Having said that, there are still many people who choose to buy a house instead of renting it for life. Renting a house is not a fashion in China. The rent is unstable and the lease term will not be too long. One day, once the landlord says no rent, you will move out unconditionally. When renting a house, be prepared to move at any time.

When most people are buying a house to live in, only you are renting a house, just like people around you are eating seven bowls and eight plates of delicacies, but you are drinking a bowl of thin sweet potato noodles. Do you feel more comfortable, better?

So, you made up your mind, gritted your teeth, borrowed from the east and the west, borrowed a lot of bank loans and got your own house. The house is bought, and then there is the joy of buying a house, as well as the anxiety and distress of repayment. If you don't buy a house, you still have two dollars in your hand. Buying a house makes you a big debtor. Pay at the end of the month, first consider paying off the mortgage or debt, can normal life not be affected? Can the consumption level not drop? . People work for their dream house, and their behavior is influenced by the house. If they are not house slaves, what are they?

House slaves, house slaves, or domestic slaves to be exact, don't talk nonsense at all. How many people are fighting for a house!

Every time I move, I want to settle down, as if it were the last time. Actually, it's not the last time I moved. There are many variables in the future, and there is a saying that plans can't keep up with changes.

I often wonder where is my home and where is my home. My hometown is in a small mountain village. After many years away from the old life, that home can only be a home in the sense of seeking roots and ancestors, and it can only be regarded as a childhood home.

If someone asks my child, where is your home? I'm afraid it's difficult for children to answer accurately. If you look at the household registration, my children and I are both from Xuzhuang Town, Dengfeng City, but the children have never lived there for a day. He was born in Deng Xin Coal Mine, Yeshang Village, Gaocheng Town. He went to Deng Xin Kindergarten and then to Shoujing Road Primary School in Dengfeng City. I went to xinzheng city Foreign Language Primary School again this year. After many twists and turns, his home is now in xinzheng city. If you want to talk about your past home, it is difficult for children to answer.

I didn't have time to cook when I moved that day. My wife and I went to a restaurant for dinner, and the child was very happy. As soon as my child heard that he was going to move and live in a new environment, he jumped around and was very happy, as if he had another chance to go out to a restaurant. I'm not happy every time I move. Moving means spending money, which means family wealth is discounted. Can I be happy?

There used to be a very high-sounding saying, "if you engage in revolution, you will find your home everywhere." If a person can really feel at home everywhere, it would be great, then there is no need to move around and the moving company should close down. The key is that people have a strong nostalgic complex. After staying in one place for a long time, I am accustomed to life and work, familiar with human relations, and don't want to change places. They always think that it is not easy to build a nest. When they come to a strange environment, they must have an adaptation process. There are many uncertain factors, and I am afraid and hesitant.

I am an active person, and I like adventure and challenge. I am not a conformist, I like to pursue my dreams persistently. This may also be one of the main reasons why I moved many times.

In order to protect my spiritual home, I am willing to give my realistic home to my dream home.
