Peasants make a living by cultivating and cultivating land to grow grain, but the area of contracted land is very limited, and there is no contracted land that has been transferred to other people's families, there is no large-scale planting, the output is small, the grain price is low, and they cannot earn a lot of money every year.
In a year when the wind and rain are good, the harvested grain is sold to grain buyers, and the money obtained from selling grain, deducting the costs of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and machine cultivators, can earn up to 1,000 yuan per mu, and the annual agricultural income of the whole family is less than 7,000 yuan.
Every farmer of a family of five, big or small, the annual living expenses are not less than 7,000 yuan, let's take a look at the old Li family of five in my hometown village, how much is the annual living expenses?
Lao Li's family, Lao Li and his wife are both in their 70s, but their health is relatively good, due to old age and weakness, they can't do heavy farm work, so they can only help their son farm and plough the land, and they can't play much of a role.
The family has a total of 6.5 acres of contracted land, sowing wheat in winter and corn in summer, which is regarded as drought and flood every year, and the harvest does not change much every year, so the agricultural income is relatively stable.
Lao Li's family farms and cultivates the land by the son and daughter-in-law as the main laborers, but the daughter-in-law because of the birth of a child, left a body of disease, in agricultural production, the physical consumption of the farm work can not be done, the family farm work is mainly completed by Lao Li's son.
Therefore, Lao Li's daughter-in-law is financially ill and often goes to the hospital to see a doctor, and the annual medical expenses will not be less than 3,000 yuan, and the son goes to middle school in the county town, and the annual bus fare, living expenses, information fees charged by the school, make-up fees, school uniform fees, etc., are not less than 4,000 yuan.
In this way, the money earned by Lao Li's family from farming and selling grain is basically spent by Lao Li's daughter-in-law who is sick and his grandson goes to school, so what should be done about the family's daily living expenses?
Therefore, Lao Li and his wife planted some sorghum, and the sorghum ears tied some brooms, which could earn some money to subsidize the family, and at the turn of spring and summer, the locust trees in the village bloomed, and no one picked them, and the two old people harvested some locust rice every year, which could be sold for some money as the family's daily living expenses.
Lao Li's son is also a hard-working person, in addition to planting crops, when the farm is not working, he does odd jobs in the village, helping the elderly to plough the land, sowing seeds, playing pesticides, fertilizing, harvesting and other farm work.
Lao Li's son can earn 100 yuan per day of work, which is also very good, the extra money earned by the family is used for the family's tap water bills, electricity bills, TV signal fees, mobile phone bills, daily life oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea and other expenses, as long as you can earn money, basically keep it for a year, no debt, life in the countryside is too difficult, it is not easy.
For example, last year, the pension insurance was 300 yuan per person, and the pension insurance cost of 3 people was 900 yuan, and the medical insurance cost of the whole family was 380×5 = 1900 yuan, and a total of 2800 yuan needed to be paid.
Therefore, Lao Li discussed with his son that they would only pay the pension insurance fees of three people and the medical insurance expenses of their daughter-in-law, because the daughter-in-law was sick and prevented her from getting seriously ill, and other people's medical insurance expenses could not be earned at all to participate in the insurance.
Lao Li's family economic situation is very representative, because the rural family of five is a common phenomenon, not a minority, and some families are much worse than Lao Li's family, many people in rural areas are unable to pay the medical insurance premiums of urban and rural residents, resulting in the phenomenon that many rural households have stopped paying.
