Seventy or eighty years old, in our opinion, we should have kept birds at home and lived a retired life with all kinds of flowers. But go to the countryside to see, * * * there are many rural elderly, at this age, still working hard in the land. Do the elderly in rural areas not know how to enjoy life, or are they forced by life? In fact, it is mainly because of these reasons.

One: I have worked all my life and can't be idle.

In the eyes of farmers, land is really their own follow-up, and they have been dealing with land all their lives. Even if the living conditions are good now, I can live well even if I don't farm, but I can't let go of that land in my heart. Even if I usually grow vegetables or do something else in the field, I just don't want to be idle. They worked hard all their lives and suddenly let him sit down and enjoy himself. Many people may feel uncomfortable.

Two: In order to exercise.

Now people pay attention to health preservation, and physical health is more important. Old people in cities generally dance and practice Tai Chi, while old people in rural areas exercise by farming. It is not a good thing to sit every day when you are old. On the contrary, exercise more, sweat more, sleep better and be healthier.

Three: Don't burden the children.

Supposedly, supporting the elderly is what children should do, but nowadays, young people are under too much pressure to take care of themselves, and old people understand the pressure of young people, so they should be self-reliant and earn enough money for daily expenses by farming. Don't disturb your children.

In fact, everyone has his own survival value. Zhong Nanshan, 84, went to Wuhan himself because of the pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan. Everyone is looking for his own value in his own field, and so are the elderly in rural areas. For them, land is where they pursue their own values.
