Why do rural elderly like to work?

There are several factors in this problem:

First, it is related to their own personal experience and cognition. Generally, the old people in rural areas have personally realized that they can exercise, eat well and sleep every day. Do what you can, just like city people exercise, you will be strong and earn money. Kill two birds with one stone, why not?

Second, most rural elderly people really don't have the financial ability to support their luxury activities such as traveling around at will. It is also a kind of spiritual sustenance to find something to do casually.

Third, some elderly people with rich families and good economic conditions do not rest, because they have suffered for most of their lives and are used to frugality and housekeeping. They believe that thrift is the virtue of farmers, and it is a crime to spend money lavishly and accumulate virtue for future generations. Therefore, they don't want to rest their hands and feet and spend more money.

Fourth, labor is the most glorious. If you don't work, I'm sorry for your ancestors.

They don't want to add burden to their children and grandchildren, but they can stand on their own feet, which is a contribution to the family. They feel that they have special dignity, live a valuable and meaningful life, and are not discriminated against by their descendants.

Six, a few special reasons (family patients, etc.). ), forced by life.
