My daughter-in-law is from the countryside, and my parents-in-law are both native rural people. They have many brothers and sisters and can be called a big family in the local area. My daughter-in-law and I go to the countryside several times a year to attend banquets, either wedding banquets, birthday banquets or centennial banquets.

According to my observation, there have been some new changes in rural banquets in recent years, which are mainly reflected in the following points:

The quality of banquets is getting higher and higher: now the countryside may be the reason for the improvement of living standards, and banquets should also be placed in big hotels, and many people do not go to non-star hotels.

The participants are becoming more and more particular: in the past, people attending banquets in rural areas basically came in work clothes! Now it's basically beautiful. One by one, the banquet has become a social place.

There are few packages for grabbing vegetables: in the past, at rural banquets, dishes were divided as soon as they were served, and there were too many packages! Now everyone is beginning to become reserved, and almost not the closest people have not done so.

There are fewer and fewer young people: now there are fewer and fewer young people attending banquets in rural areas, mostly middle-aged and elderly people, and most of them are women.

The grade of wine is getting higher and higher, but fewer and fewer people drink it: in the past, there were no wine glasses, no wine-makers, no drunkards and no crying cups at rural banquets. These people will meet several at a time, but now they are basically gone!

Now, why do beer and liquor become decorations at rural banquets, and why don't you like drinking? This is because:

First, the people attending the party have changed.

Nowadays, young people who can drink in rural banquets rarely attend, and even if they go, they are just going through the motions. After all, people are busy now. At present, the main banquets in rural areas are middle-aged women, the elderly and children. These people are light drinkers and naturally don't drink much.

Second, people's ideas have changed.

Even if you can drink again now, people who love to drink again are not willing to drink more at the banquet, for fear of being embarrassed by the villagers after getting drunk. Now the living standard in rural areas has improved, and people who often drink good wine at home. There is no need to drink hard in public, you will be laughed at. I heard a relative teach her husband a lesson: "Don't go like you haven't seen wine for eight generations. You'd better not drink, or you'll lose face. "

Drinking less and eating more food is now the motto of many people who attend banquets, and now banquets in rural areas basically start before 12 and end in the afternoon 14. People who are greedy for drinks are embarrassed to leave in full view! It's better not to drink than not to enjoy, which is why many people don't drink much at parties and continue to drink elsewhere.

Nowadays, banquets in rural areas are more like occasions to show family strength. Anyone who comes here must drive a car, so as to "show off" in front of relatives and friends. This face is much more important than drinking! Now, for these reasons, liquor and beer are almost all decorations at rural banquets. what do you think?
