home is stacked with the collected junk
the reporter came here early yesterday. Although psychologically prepared, the reporter was shocked when he entered the door.
this home should be called a warehouse. In addition to the kitchen and bathroom, every room is full of woven bags, shoes boxes, and some places have already reached the ceiling.
originally thought that so many tattered, the whole family will have a great taste. However, this is not the case in the old home.
yesterday, Song Lin was just helping in his grandfather's home. He told reporters that these rags were picked up by the elderly, and they have been washed away.
, according to Wang Amao, before, Dai Lao would ride the tricycle to sell the junk himself, and since he fell three years ago, he could only call his grandson to sell it with a pickup truck. And they all donate the money they sell.
from Wang Mao Kou learned that she was a daughter-in-law, she was 22 years old when she married Dai Lao, her husband was 24 years old, and so far two people have gone through the wind and rain for 71 years.
frugal food, vegetables are picked up
so that Song Lin can not bear the most is the life of the elderly.
pointing to an air-conditioner on the wall, Song Lin said, "before, there were only two kinds of appliances, namely the TV set and the refrigerator. This air conditioner is installed by the younger generation to the elderly. It's a good idea to say that this year's hot weather is a long time. But when we go, the old two will turn off the air conditioner.
this is a matter of course, but for eating, the old two are not too particular about it. Song Lin said he pulled the refrigerator open. The reporter saw that the top of the fridge door was stacked with 10 steamed bread with varying quality. Some of them were still blackened.
Song Lin then took out a package from the kitchen door, and the reporter saw two cabbage, a radish and a flower, but all of them didn't look very fresh. Song Lin said that all these things were picked up by the old man.
sometimes, Dai will even pick up some health products and medicines. If he is not well, he will take some medicine. "Don't look at these things every day, but for more than thirty years, grandpa has not had any diseases, and my grandmother has been catching cold occasionally. This way, we'll go with them, too. " Song Lin said.
reporters learned that Dai Xing Zhou was Shanghai's "Kitchen God" and was selected by the Ministry of foreign affairs as the chef of the embassy abroad. He retired in the 80s of last century. Today, Dai's pension is more than 5000 yuan, plus the land dividends in the village, the monthly income is not bad. Choosing this kind of life is entirely frugality.
when the reporter persuaded the old man, when he was so old, not to pick up the garbage, Dai said seriously, "garbage can not only sell money, but also exercise the body." And Wang Mao also said that her husband once said that it is necessary to pick up debris and find it dead.
donations never obscure
to frugality, but they are never "stingy" to the people around them. Pointing to a package of clothes, Wang Amao said, these are the people who intend to give the gallery some time. It's cold, let them have clothes to keep warm.
in addition to making life difficult for migrant workers to pick things, the old two often participate in various donations. The reporter learned that every time the streets were raised or donated information in the community, the old two would have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars, for many years, they have never fallen. Especially when the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, two old people donated 2000 yuan at a time.
in addition, over the years, as long as there are children in the village who can not read books and have difficulties in life, the old two will donate. For these, Song Lin said, "old people are happy. We expect them to be healthy and healthy. We will not oppose them."
