Sometimes some people are just standing around talking about it. 50 years old farmers, still want to continue to work hard, is a kind of farmers real life helplessness. Not very willing to spell it out this way, is no way! With the farmer's work: the cart does not fall despite the push, walk a journey, life must continue.
Farmers are not more than city retirees, they receive a few thousand dollars a month in pensions, you can easily and happily spend their twilight years, square dancing, parks, playing poker, playing in the mountains. But farmers do not have the material conditions, to date, in addition to economically developed areas, farmers after the age of 60, most areas only have more than 100 yuan of pension benefits. In an era of high consumption in the market economy, how useful can this pension subsidy be? In our rural areas, 50, 60, 70-year-old farmers, working people are many, and their suffering can only be swallowed in their stomachs.
So why do they have to work so hard when they are at the age when they should be enjoying their happiness? The reason is also multi-faceted.
"A" farming does not earn money, working is the main income of the family
Reform and opening up the beginning of the 83rd year of the implementation of the family contract responsibility system of land, divided to the household, the small farmers economic mode of operation. Greatly encouraged the farmers' enthusiasm for farming, creating a good situation of large grain harvests and large increases in production year after year. The problem of food has been completely solved, and the people's living standard has been greatly improved. This was all the result of the Party's policies. Decades have passed, times are changing and the situation is developing. In the context of the market economy, the continuous increase in the price of industrial products, the rise in the level of consumption, the downturn in the price of food, the increase in the cost of cultivation and production, to the point that farming does not make money. Farmers are forced to take up part-time work. In reality, a month's work is more than a year's net income from farming. The job has become the main source of income for the family.
The land in the countryside has been abandoned, and some of it has been transferred to large families. There are still a few old and weak ones farming. Because part-time work is the main source of income, so farmers in rural areas over 50 years old, as long as the body is dry, part-time work, some people want, no matter how hard and tired you have to do it, do not do no income, no income how to live? This is the heavy reason for working.
"Two" to ease the burden of children, a little bit of hard work is nothing.
As people in their 50s say, they are old and young. It is the age when the pressure burden is the greatest, and in rural areas it is also the time when the most debt is incurred. Due to the children's marriage, buy a house, buy a car and other big expenses, often owe a debt. Sons and daughters of the good can, the bad rely on part-time work three or four thousand dollars a month, can not pay back much of the bill, enough for their own small family expenses on the good. In order to alleviate the financial burden of children, both to pay the debt, but also to live, only to continue to work. It's a desperate move, a way out of the situation. As long as the body is still able to do so, the pain and tiredness is nothing.
"Three" working to earn money, old age urgently
Rural elderly people over 50 years old, there is a kind of spirit in support of them. Who has it is not as good as themselves. The children sometimes have the heart, in their own body can still do the situation, more tired to earn some money, in order to prepare for the old to use.
These elderly people in rural areas are too difficult, too difficult, not only living expenses, and high medical costs, the pressure of their breath. Age, at any time there is the possibility of getting sick, there is no money in hand is not possible. So when you are in good health, you continue to struggle to work.
