(now living in mega-cities for a period of time, and then re-migrating to another place to live in the future)

I#07 We plan to earn some money in Beijing now and return to our hometown later (now living in mega-cities for a period of time, and then moving back to the countryside in the future). We will return to our hometown when we cannot work. There are fields in my hometown, where my son and grandson live. And after returning

home, we can plant, weed and breed and so on to find a source of income (pre-judgment or estimation of the future living conditions)

I#12 & I#13 We are going to do this job [collecting waste products] in Beijing for another five or six years, and then return to hometown to buy a house (living in mega-cities for a period of time, and then moving to another city). When going home, I am looking for a formal job of transportation in my hometown, which could bring me an income of 5000 to 6000 yuan a month, and my wife can take care of children at home. Moreover, my parents could do farm work and raise some chickens and ducks in hometown (pre-judgment or estimation of the future living conditions)

I#02 The future life in Beijing is very embarrassing. I am not sure if I am in Beijing in the future. Just go forward step by step (considering the future after living in mega-cities for a period

of time)... The eldest child has gone to Zhuozhou for school, and his grandfather takes care of him there. But I still want him to study in Beijing in the future... But without the Beijing hukou, it’s hard to come back to study (pre-judgment or estimation of the future living conditions)

I#17 I will stay in Beijing for a few more years and consider the future life according to the situation after a few years, I may stay in Beijing or leave Beijing at that time (considering the future after living in mega-cities for a period of time). If leaving Beijing, I will probably go to Wuhan, because my hometown is close to Wuhan, and the pressure of life in Wuhan is not so great, and I probably can afford a house. Besides, there are also many relatives in Wuhan who can help each other (pre-judgment or estimation of the future living conditions)
