    There are many elderly people in rural areas who just can't stay idle, always looking for work to do, either in the fields or wandering around at home, and they can't be idle. When many children communicate with the elderly at home, they will say: don't make so many crops, don't go to the field when it's hot, go home to play.

    The old man also agreed very well, but you will find that when it is hot, even if it rains heavily, you can still see people working in the fields.

    In fact, it's not that these old people don't want to rest, or that they especially love to do farm work, but they are used to it. They have devoted their lives to the land, and all their lives they have been working in the fields, and when they are idle, they are uncomfortable. It's like when we develop a certain habit, when we disrupt it or consciously avoid it, it will be very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

    These old people are the same, they have nothing to do to go around the fields, busy work, this is the habit they have developed, they do not feel hard, and even feel very comfortable to have work.

    Again, the countryside is not as many entertainment facilities and playmates as in the city, if they don't do farm work, the east strings a string, the west strings a string, the old people who can play cards can make an appointment with a table of people to play cards, this time is good to pass, those who can't play cards, they can only watch people play cards or a few people chatting about idle days. A few big men get together to chat about idle days, what can they talk about, and they don't know what to do for more time left, watch TV alone, it's boring to watch for a long time, it's better to go around the field.

    Therefore, doing farm work and finding work has become a kind of spiritual sustenance for these old people, who do not love to work or do not want to rest, but are accustomed to this way of life. If they have to give up farming, it's really not a good way for them. Some old people will feel that they will not do anything but farm work, if they are not allowed to work, they will not become wasted, their own value will not be reflected, and their mood will naturally not be happy.

    Rural people are very hard, it's not that they don't want to rest, they like to do farm work, because there is too much farm work and it's too fragmented, and there is no time to rest at all.

    Older people in rural areas are not fond of working. It's been a lifelong habit. Do you agree with this idea?

    I agree with this view. It is really impossible for the elderly in rural areas to work。It's said that I've been used to it all my life.

    Such views are disrespectful and insulting to the elderly in rural areas. It's a kind of disdain. It is a kind of ignorance that does not understand people.

    Elderly people in rural areas have no income if they do not work. The elderly in rural areas are not like the elderly in big cities, and they have a stable income after retirement, whether they work or not. Daily life in the countryside.

    Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. will rely on this bit of land resources to make money.

    Elderly brothers and sisters in the countryside. Dig out the money or face the loess with your back to the sky. Sell a handful of green onions, and cold vegetables need to be bundled tightly.

    Sell items for a few cents, and some people also have small bellies and chicken intestines, bargaining. It's really not easy for good buddies in the countryside. Everyone understands that delicious dumplings are not as good as dumplings, and they are not as good as being upside down.

    Everyone understands that making some tea, watching TV, and eating some fresh fruit are uninhibited. However, the elderly in the countryside do not work, and the money does not easily fall from the sky. From what I know.

    Many elderly people in rural areas are working tirelessly with faults. Most people are too hard when they were young. The said habits are all caused by human factors.

    After a few days, I didn't get used to it. It is slanderous to say that the labor of the elderly in rural areas is habitual. I can't tell you low back pain just by standing and talking.

    It is really an elderly person who does not understand the countryside. When I was young, I worked on the farm and exercised my body every day! Even if you are old, you have to exercise, otherwise your body will be really uncomfortable!

    Many capable sons and daughters have taken the old man to live in the city, and they can't do anything every day, and it is very uncomfortable to stay! Instead, I returned to the countryside, planted some land by myself, and themed activities every day, and there was nothing left! Some elderly people have unique family conditions, and even though they are older, they must work harder!

    We're going to have an 80-year-old woman, even though she's very old

    Of course not, most of the rural elderly are very hardworking, this is a habit they have developed since childhood, and they are used to it.

    Because they want to take a little bit of stress off their children, they also like to rest, but sometimes they have to do it.

    There are several factors to this problem:

    1. It is related to their own personal experience and cognition. The elderly in ordinary rural areas have experienced that they can move every day, eat well and sleep well. Do what you can, just like urban people exercise, and strengthen your body, and have income, kill two birds with one stone, why not.

    Second, most of the elderly in rural areas really do not have the financial ability to support them to travel in the mountains and rivers and other luxury activities as they want. Finding something to do casually is also spiritual sustenance.

    3. Some old people whose families are wealthy and have good economic conditions do not stop, because they have endured hardships for most of their lives, and it has become a habit to be diligent and thrifty, and they think that thrift is the virtue of peasants, and they spend money lavishly, thinking that it is a crime, and they want to accumulate virtue for their children and grandchildren, so they are unwilling to rest and spend more money.

    Fourth, labor is the most glorious.

    If you don't work, you're sorry for your ancestors.

    Fifth, they do not want to burden their children and grandchildren, they can support themselves, they are a contribution to the family, they feel uniquely dignified, their lives are worthwhile and meaningful, and they are not disregarded by their children and grandchildren.

    Sixth, there are very few special reasons (family patients, etc.), life is compelled.

    An old man who had no choice but to do farm work. This kind of old man does farm work more to earn money to support himself. We all know that the pension system in rural areas is not perfect, and many elderly people in rural areas do not have pensions

    If there is no pension, what about the cost of living and the money for medical treatment? Either children give it, or they don't rely on their own work to earn it. If the children are not rich enough to help the elderly, not to mention that the elderly in the family have been reluctant to increase the pressure on their children.

    The elderly in the city receive retirement pensions, walk, play cards, and dance, while the elderly in the countryside can't do farm work, so is it called to drink the northwest wind?

    Do the elderly in rural areas do farm work to exercise their bodies? No, there are many ways to train the body, and there is no need to practice it with such heavy physical labor and mutilating the body. Is there no way, what can I eat if I can't do farm work?

    If such elderly people in rural areas have retirement pensions, they will also enjoy good fortune and enjoy their old age in peace. But the conditions do not allow them.

    We are very clear that because of the continuous price level over the years, the improvement of consumption capacity, the increase in the cost of planting products, the price of grain has not been long-term for 20 years, and the inventory of agricultural and sideline food has been overstocked. As a result, farmers do not make money from farming, and sometimes they have to lose money. As a result, young people in rural areas have chosen to go to the cities to work and earn money to support their families.

    Land resources have been abandoned. In order to relieve the pressure on their children, they have to do farm work at home. Many hollow villages have emerged in the countryside.

    It becomes the village of the elderly and the child. This is the real environment in which the elderly in rural areas do farm work.

    With the continuous deepening of China's reform and opening up, China's economy has undergone earth-shaking changes. Our country and the local ** have distributed pension subsidies to such elderly people. The price level continues to be the highest, and the period of high consumption makes it difficult for the pension insurance to solve the difficulties of the elderly.

    Whenever we advise the elderly at home not to work, pay attention to the body, the elderly will always say that they are more likely to get sick if they don't work, and the meal will not taste good. In fact, the old man's statement makes sense, and it is not entirely due to politeness. Moderate activity-based activities are indeed good for physical and mental health.

    However, rural areas do not have the same variety of themed activities as the elderly in cities. For the elderly in rural areas, they can only do farm work!

    Many people are very puzzled that the elderly in the city don't care about anything, eat and sleep well, and the quality of life is very good, but they are not as healthy as the rural elderly. The elderly in rural areas seem to be very healthy, because these old people usually have to work, so their physique is still very good after long-term exercise, and many elderly people are not so deep in their minds and have a good attitude, so their physical fitness is of course good. Many urban elderly people may also cause some chronic diseases because they do not exercise for a long time.

    Many old people are still doing farm work at such an old age, and many of them are also because they can't be idle, and if they don't work at home, they don't have anything else to do to pass the time, so it is better to do some work to make the day pass as soon as possible.

    Most of the food in the countryside is grown by the elderly themselves, and every household will grow vegetables, which are very clean and do not have any pesticide residues, so if the elderly often eat these vegetables, it will also make the elderly healthier. And the rural environment is also relatively good, there are trees everywhere, it can be said that greening is difficult to popularize in the city, every day to breathe is fresh air, so it is also extremely good for the body of the elderly.

    If you want to be a healthy old man, you should eat a balanced diet, you can eat more protein-rich foods to ensure nutrient intake, and you can also carry out proper labor operations, which also has a good effect on the body. We should also pay attention to the personal hygiene environment in daily life, especially the physical resistance of the elderly is not as good as that of young people, so we must pay attention to hygiene to avoid bacterial infection. At the same time, it is also necessary to keep the mentality of the elderly in a good state, and a good mental state also has a great effect on improving the physical condition.

    Finally, many elderly people are living longer, and if you want them to live longer, you need to improve it in the right way.

    It is said that singles are useless when they are old, which is also the reality of rural areas. The old man who used to eat tea, when he gets older, if he doesn't pay attention, he will be looked down upon by others, and he won't be able to get off the stage if he doesn't do well, and he will lose face, which is really not worth it. To sum up, there are ten mistakes that rural seniors are most likely to make:

    1. I like to nag at home, my son is 40 years old, and he is still a child, and he always likes to tell thousands of instructions; In society, he can't help but point fingers, and others are too lazy to pay attention to him.

    2. Young people who like to take the past and guess things have their own experience and insights, and their views on things are often different from those of the elderly, and the clichés of the elderly can only make people bored.

    3. Nosy may not be a big deal all day long, no matter how big or small, as long as the old man knows, he has great interest, likes to inquire and discuss, and others are unwilling to pay attention to him.

    4. Relying on the old and selling the old and young people are sometimes forced to ask him for advice, and they always like to sell Guanzi, and talk about it as an elder, but they don't know that these people are going to fall asleep and can't listen to it at all.

    5. Reluctant to move the old objects to a new house in the countryside, the old people are reluctant to throw away anything, and the house is full, the juniors are not good to say directly, and other people look uncomfortable when they come in.

    6. It is not in any matter what it is said to outsiders that children are their closest people, even if there are thousands of bad things, don't let others know, anyway, it will not help anything, and it will not do you any good to yourself.

    7. If you keep talking about your children and not going home, it will increase the burden on your children's thoughts, but because you are too busy and don't have time to go home, your children's ideological pressure is too great.

    8. Don't drink too much alcohol at any time, not only will you suffer a loss, but you will also be hospitalized if you don't do well, which is not good for anyone.

    9. Pay attention to hygiene, don't be busy with housework or farm work, delay your own cleaning and cleaning, which is not only bad for your health, but also affects a family's plan.

    10. If you can rely on yourself, don't rely on others to live to old age, take care of yourself, do what you can, don't overwork, and don't want to do anything.

    Everyone gets old.

    To be a respectable old man, it's best to pretend that you can't see anything, don't listen, don't know what to do, and other people are not stupid, they know that your heart is like a mirror, and they respect you more. If they really want to ask you for advice, and they all put on different postures, how can you not see it? In a word, it is better to talk less, participate less, and worry less about all happy.

    There are 10 mistakes that the elderly in rural areas are prone to make, and their children should also understand. The elderly are usually looking for a sense of existence, and they are also for the good of the family.
