There are several things that make rural elderly people happy. First, good health, this is very important. Have a good body, neither drag children, they live in high quality. Eat move, want to eat what to eat, walk, want to go where to go. The eyes do not blur, the ears are not deaf, can still communicate with people, this is happiness. Otherwise, there is no happiness to be found in being rich.
The village Zhang Ermu, others envy her, said she fell into the blessed nest. The old man works at the veterinary station and earns a lot of money a year. The son opened a store, selling veterinary drugs, feed, a year to earn money is not counted. His daughter-in-law runs a hair salon, and her business is also booming. The old man has been very good to the second mother, son and daughter-in-law are filial piety, is the second mother's health is not good, brain hemorrhage twice, thanks to the money, or else, perhaps long gone. She is now paralyzed in bed, can sit and can not walk, the family hired a nanny, specializing in serving her.
Sometimes the nanny pushes her out and chats with her village sisters, and all the women in the village say that the second mother is blessed, and the second mother smiles bitterly and says, "I'd rather be poorer now, but I also want to be healthy and free of disease like you, and to be able to bring my grandchildren to my home, dance in the square, and do some of my own favorite meals, and that's good. Now I'm like this, what's the point of living, can't just eat, can't go anywhere, can't even go to the toilet themselves, a little bit of privacy, not to mention the dignity of it.
This is more important for the children to be filial and for the family to be in harmony. When you are old, you don't have a lot of needs, you just want your children and grandchildren to come around your knees and get together, and when you look at them, you will feel proud of yourself.
My in-laws have six sons, and it's a given that in a rural area with so many children, the living conditions are not good. However, these children were all very understanding and obedient, and none of them disobeyed their parents.
Now there are six more daughters-in-law, four grandsons, two granddaughters, one grandson-in-law and one great-grandson.
Our family is especially harmonious, and when there is something wrong in any small family, everyone helps out together. We also have a lot of people who are very happy with the way they look and the way they feel.
Brothers set an example, brothers have followed suit, give the old man money, give more or less, no one cares, sons try, daughters-in-law did not say. The village people are envious of the in-laws, saying that they have given birth to a few good sons and found good daughters-in-law.
When he was alive, he was smiling every day, happy in his heart, and there was nothing happier than his children's filial piety and understanding.
After my father-in-law's death, these children treated my mother-in-law better, and my mother-in-law had nothing to do every day, so she went for a walk and looked for her old sisters to play a little card game and talk with them.
But she can't be bothered. When spring comes, she grows vegetables and flowers in the yard.
In fact, it's not that being rich makes you happy, as long as you have food and drink, good health, filial piety of your children, and peace of mind of your family, as a rural old man, this is happiness.
Wishing all the old people in the world a happy old age!
