Do not adjust the living environment of the city
These old people have lived in the countryside all their lives and are familiar with everything there. Most people in the village and even the surrounding villages know each other. When they met, they exchanged a few pleasantries. When they have nothing to do, they just drop in to get together, talk about the growth and harvest of crops, and "show off" their children's work and life to others, which makes them feel very fulfilled. There are also rural areas, places that the elderly are familiar with, and where they want to go. "You can find them with your eyes closed."
But living in the city, because I am not familiar with the environment, I seldom go out. I don't know anyone around me, and I don't even have a speaker at ordinary times. I can only stay at home and watch TV all day, and occasionally stroll around the community. Under such circumstances, the lonely old people are naturally more unhappy and feel more comfortable living in the countryside.
I don't want to disturb the children's lives.
The old man feels that his children have formed their own family and they have their own way of life. The living habits I have developed in the countryside for many years are different from those of my children. Living with children will make me feel constrained and less free. At the same time, taking into account the children's ideas, I think it is better not to fight in the city and live my own life.
Old people and young people have different living habits and ideas. After being together for a long time, conflicts often occur because of some family chores, especially in the study and education of grandchildren. Many old people feel that their efforts are thankless. Instead of being so worried about being with children, it is better to stay alone in the country and be free.
People have different ideas.
Some old people feel happy living in their children's homes. They can go out to play when they are free, and they can go out to dance square dance at night if they want.
Most elderly people in rural areas are used to rural life, and each family has its own small vegetable garden. They can eat some seasonal dishes when they want, and they can eat them at home, but it's different when they get to their children's house. They have to buy a bite when they eat. The preservation habits of the elderly in rural areas may not be acceptable.
In fact, as children, it is not necessarily a bad thing for rural elderly people not to live with their children. Some children may not want the rural elderly to live with them, which may also become a reality and common situation in today's society.
