The old farmers in their seventies and eighties are still working. Are they short of money or are they idle?

I don't think they are short of money, but they are restless.

The old people in China have come slowly from the bitter days. The old people in China in their seventies and eighties were born when New China was just established. At that time, China was in a difficult period of economic development. At that time, their living conditions were very poor. They were all full and hungry, and they never had a full meal. Although China has become an economic power in the world, hard work has become the traditional virtue of the people of China. Although these old farmers are not short of money, they are still busy.

The old farmers in China are still working in the fields for the following two reasons: 1. Lighten the burden on their children.

There is a saying in China called "Pity inherit the wind". With the improvement of people's living standards, the phenomenon of aging is becoming more and more serious, and the pressure on young people is increasing. Are there old people in the world and young people in the world? It has become the biggest pressure on young people in China. These old people are parents and know that it is not easy for their children. So I want to reduce the burden on my children through my own labor. Nowadays, many children of old people have settled in cities, and these old people give their own food to their children living in cities. They think that only the food they grow is the healthiest, and it is also a great love for their children as parents in China. .2. The phenomenon of rural wasteland is becoming more and more serious, and the old farmers who are farmers are reluctant to waste these fields.

Nowadays, many young people leave their hometown to work for a living, which leads to the phenomenon that many rural lands are abandoned. We all know that the land in China is distributed according to the population. Although these young people go out to work, these fields still belong to them.

These 7-and 8-year-old farmers have been working in the fields since childhood, and their physical fitness is still good. So although they are old, they feel that they still have the ability to continue working in the fields. If they don't work in the fields, these fields will be abandoned, and these old farmers can't bear it.
