Even in the 15 years that we have owned this former tobacco farm, further progress has left its mark. In our village, there used to be two of every shop – butcher’s shop, bakery, hardware store.
即便是我们买下这个烟草农场的15年间，进一步的发展也留下了烙印。在我们村，从前每种商店都有一两个——肉店，面包店，五金店。如今，周边城镇的超级市场已经把这些小本生意赶出了市场。我想是因为超市提供了更多选择，而且价格也更便宜。因此在当地农村已经看不到什么商业活动了。
