1. At that time, there was no pollution in rural ponds. In the 1990s, many villages were still relatively closed, and a village was like a small but complete system. This may be hard to understand. Let's take rural ponds as an example. At that time, the water in rural ponds was crystal clear, and there were various local animals such as fish and shrimp in the water, such as water discoloration and water pollution, which did not exist at all. In some areas, farmers even drink water from ponds directly.
2. The countryside is born by water. Anyone familiar with the development of villages knows that when the ancestors of the countryside first settled down, they were born by water, because water is the source of life. Whether farmers need irrigation for farming or watering the small vegetable garden in the yard, they basically need to carry water in the pond. In the long run, farmers have developed the habit of relying on ponds.
When I was a child, the most common scene was that farmers washed clothes here, others brushed toilets, and others washed rice and vegetables. City dwellers who have never seen such a scene may find it difficult to understand, because it looks dirty and unclean, but it is not. In the words of the old people in the village, it is called "unclean, there is nothing wrong with eating." It is not nonsense for farmers to say so. According to the old man, at that time, farmers lived like this all their lives and rarely got seriously ill. Now that the tap water is running, they have bleach. It's really hard to tell which one is clean.
3, life pressure is small, and the mentality is relaxed. Earlier, I mentioned the living conditions of farmers in the 1990s. Many farmers will miss that era, mainly because the pressure of life in rural areas was low at that time. In addition to busy farming, it will be easier after a while, and farmers' usual living conditions are so relaxed and comfortable. It's different now. Farmers need to be busy with houses, cars and bride price. This is far beyond their capacity. They are busy and old at last.
Supposedly, you should have a good rest when you are old, but it is useless, because being old is not terrible. The terrible thing is that the pension money has not been saved, and there is not enough capital to support the elderly. At present, 80% of rural people are nervous, and under the long-term pressure, the probability of physical problems of farmers has also increased.
