Great-grandmother and great-grandson are rolling in the wheat field. What's the difference between wheat field planting now and before?

After a video of great-grandmother and great-grandson rolling around was exposed, it attracted the attention of many netizens. From the video, we can see that grandparents and grandchildren look very happy. Netizens all say that sometimes happiness is as simple as that. The picture of grandparents and grandchildren rolling and frolicking in the wheat field also evoked many memories. I think people born after 80 s and 90 s should have this experience. At that time, the happiest thing was to play in the wheat field. Now, I can't find that feeling at all, because growing wheat is the same as before. Let's analyze it together. Different planting methods

The cultivation of wheat fields now is completely different from before. It used to be planted by hand, but now it is mostly planted by machine. I remember when I was at my grandmother's house, I saw her start planting rice in the fields every spring. At that time, because there were no machines, rice seedlings were all manual jobs in wheat fields, and farming was the only income at that time, so every household would plant a lot of fields. However, due to limited manpower, neighbors or relatives and friends will help each other every time.

The goal of planting is different.

In the past, farming was really to support the family, but now farming is not just to support the family. Nowadays, people who farm land are generally profit-oriented. In fact, most people in rural areas don't farm much now, because farming can bring little income, so this way and it can't meet the economic expenses of families at all. So now it is generally a contract system, which is contracted to people, so the purpose of planting is different, and planting has become a kind of commercialization. Different harvesting methods

Farming used to be manual, so harvesting was also manual. Farming is also mechanized now. Harvesters are mostly used now. Although the efficiency is really high, it is really not as happy as before. I used to harvest food in the fields with my family. Now think about the happiness at that time. I don't think we care about the difference between growing wheat in the past and growing wheat now. We care more about childhood memories and experiences. Happiness at that time was really simple. At that time, we enjoyed a bumper harvest with our relatives. Now most of us are brushing our mobile phones, so there is less and less communication between our relatives, so this is also a sigh. So I think we should put down our mobile phones and spend more time with our families.
