In the past, my family's land was to grow wheat and corn, and it was impossible to make money without labor and fertilizer. Now that it is transferred to the park, the annual income of the land is 5000 yuan, plus the monthly salary of 5000 yuan for my daughter-in-law and me, and the employment at home does not affect the care of the elderly and children.
