There is an old saying in the countryside that "it is a big mistake for my sister to send her sister, and it is poor for several generations, and my sister-in-law to send her aunt".
It should mean backpacking, which is very common in rural areas. People in the city may not know. In fact, young people in rural areas don't know much about it now. Of course, our Chinese characters are extensive and profound, and the same Chinese characters will have their specific meanings when used in different sentences. Sister-in-law's sending her sister-in-law means that the benefits of her sending her sister-in-law are many, many. We can understand it as an agricultural tool for loading things in the countryside.
According to our current observation, now that the whole family has married their daughters in the countryside, we are not so concerned. Of course, I remember when my sister got married, my parents didn't leave and waited at home. That is to say, when I married my daughter, my parents didn't go out. Of course, there is no such pressure in rural areas now.
Describe it. Then why did you say I was poor for generations? I think this sentence has some truth in the former countryside, but I have heard a similar sentence, that is, as long as there are boys at home, rural people will become richer even if they are poor. And if there are only girls at home, they may be rich now, but in fact they are getting poorer and poorer.
Why do you say that? As we all know, in the past, rural areas preferred boys to girls. They think that although boys also spend money, such as spending money to marry a daughter-in-law, build a house and have children and so on. The money they spend is also in their own homes, or it can be said that they buy real estate, and will be more and more in the future. And if there are only girls in the family, everything in the family will become someone else's because of the woman's marriage. This is what the chef told me when I was a chef. It sounded reasonable at that time.
