I never thought I could make money on my own at this age.” Calculating this year’s income, old man Zhao Zeying’s face was not only filled with the joy of a good harvest, but also an extra pride. As a way to make money, raising silkworms makes Zhao Zeying no longer a left-behind old man who only knows how to farm and raise grandchildren.
