There is a saying in the countryside that "children don't get out of bed in August"?

When I was young, my family did not move to the city, but I still lived in the countryside with my grandparents. Once, I gave birth with my neighbor's sister, and I heard them say that the child should not fall out of bed in August. I was curious, so I asked them why August happened to be a busy time for farming, and adults had to go to the fields to help, so no one took care of the children. And August is autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder, and children are easy to catch a cold. If the child falls from the bed, no one will feel bad about the injury. Even if you find it, you will get sick when the ground is cold.

In early August and autumn, the weather turned cold.

August in rural areas generally corresponds to September in the new calendar, and this time already belongs to the real autumn. Especially in the morning and evening, the climate changes very quickly, not to mention children, even adults are prone to catch a cold. Therefore, expectant mothers are especially careful with their children this month. If children fall to the ground or play on the ground, they are easily attacked by the cold on the floor. And the child will not make any noise when he is sick, but will only cry. Not only the children are uncomfortable, but also the parents are anxious. So try to look after the children in August.

The harvest season in August

August is a special day in the countryside. This stage is just the time to harvest wheat, and it is also a very busy time. I remember when I was a child, my grandparents cut several acres of rice in the sun, tied it into a pile and carried it back to the yard. Then we will dry the rice and harvest it. Anyway, I'm busy. Sometimes my parents and I have to help. So at this time, grandma will be left at home to look after the children, and everyone else will go out to work. This will prevent the child from falling out of bed.

Afraid of children getting hurt

In fact, children who don't get up in August are afraid of getting hurt or catching a cold, so they should take care of them at any time. Especially in August, the busy weather turns cold, and sometimes children don't know when to get up. So it is not surprising that there has always been such a saying in rural areas.
