When it came to the villa, Ms. Ren got interested.
"If I lived in a big villa, I would raise chickens and grow vegetables in the yard..." She kept talking, mentioning everything from raising chickens to growing vegetables and watering flowers, as if she had awakened her longing for rural life.
Listening to her future plans, Xu Lin thought she might just be caught up in the moment. Can you handle the smell of chicken manure? He remembered visiting his grandfather's place as a child; they used to raise chickens and pigs, and the smell from the coops and pens was invigorating. No farmer actually enjoys the rural life of farming. The agritourism is just a novelty for city people; if they were really to stay in the countryside, they'd settle down quickly.
Ms. Ren continued, "And when you're married and have two or three children, I can take care of the grandchildren. They must not be an only child; otherwise, they'll be lonely, just like you were when you were little."
