Why do so many elderly people pick up bottles on the street?

Because of the family situation and the previous experience of the elderly, they have developed the habit of working hard and thrifty, just like some elderly people have enough expenses at home, but she will still pick them up, and she is reluctant to spend the money, and she is not willing to use it to earn some money. In fact, future generations don't want her to be like this, but she still does it, and I wish these hard-working and loving old people a happy old age.

Grandpa Wu and Grandpa Hu who want to give full play to their residual heat. Although Bai Fangli, who is not famous for donating money for students on a tricycle, Wu Dingfu, who is in his 80s, is also one of the people who touched the Chinese. As a retired old principal, Grandpa Wu's retirement salary is also very considerable, with an annual income of about 10,000 yuan.

He himself does not smoke or drink, and he rarely buys clothes, wearing a torn sweatshirt for 30 years, but donating 35 years of pension to children in need, in addition to picking up bottles and cans, and the money from the sale of waste products is also used to donate to education. There is also a grandfather Hu who was named one of the top ten people of the year who "moved the Central Plains", and he is also a model of helpfulness. Grandpa Hu has been a village cadre for decades, and he has insisted on doing good deeds for 18 years since he was 67 years old, and one of the economic ** of his good deeds is to pick up bottles and sell waste products.

The elderly were left with a disability because of their legs injured at work, but even so, they insisted on buying school supplies for the children in the township school and delivering mooncakes to the elderly in the nursing home. Just before his death, he was still picking up scrap on the street.

They sometimes just use these things to dispel loneliness. When I was a child, I staggered to learn to walk, who was tired and bent over patiently cared for, for fear that you would fall; Who repeats sentence by sentence when you are learning to speak, just to make you call your parents and burst into tears; And who takes care of you day and night when you are sick; When you grow up, they endure thousands of reluctance in their hearts and send you on the road to the future. In the future, I hope we can all find more time and go home to see.

The pace of life is too fast now, and the pressure on young people is increasing, and many people ignore the lack of happiness and security for their wives and children and elderly parents. I hope that in this fast-paced life, we can all stop and look at our families, parents are getting older, we give them more companionship in life, give their families more security, parents for their children to worry, no matter how old they are, how much they need to be taken care of, they still don't want to cause trouble to their children.

Uncle Li, who is lonely and looking for a sense of existence. Uncle Li is 74 years old this year, he used to be a senior engineer in a company, and his wife passed away three years ago. He has two sons and a daughter, both of whom currently have good jobs and careers.

After sending several grandchildren to middle school, Uncle Li suddenly became idle, and I don't know when he began to pick up drink bottles in parks, squares and near schools every day. When his children found out, their persuasion was ineffective, and they had no choice but to let it go. It wasn't until Uncle Li was hospitalized because he fell down while picking up a bottle that the children learned from the old man.

It turned out that Uncle Li ran out all day just to find something to do for himself, and his pension couldn't be spent, so he picked up bottles just to go to crowded places to see more people and talk to others more, that's all. What Uncle Li really lacks is the company of his children, he is not picking up bottles, but driving away loneliness.

We are accustomed to their behavior, vaguely know that they are picking up waste, but almost nothing about this group, maybe they don't want to understand, and even sometimes deliberately avoid, now picking up waste is getting cheaper and cheaper, but there are more and more people picking up waste, many are elderly, some are to subsidize the family, some are old and nowhere to rely on, some are simply "like", and some may be because of loneliness.

It may be that the family situation is not very good, and I want to reduce the burden on my children, and I can't do anything else when I am old, so I think that I can pick up a little money and sell some money, which can be regarded as income. There is also a situation where the children are not filial and do not give money to the elderly, and they have no choice but to go out and pick up some garbage and sell it for some money.

Most of the elderly are more diligent and thrifty, even if the family has money, they will be very diligent and thrifty, and when they are old, they have no job and nothing to do, and they want to pick up some bottles to reduce the burden on the family.

It can only be said that it is a pity for the hearts of parents in the world, many elderly people pick up bottles to save money, although the way is not quite right, but this is the way they can to create wealth for future generations, because no one will be afraid of money. The old people are idle and can't sit still, and for them picking up bottles is like finding a job, and they stick to it every day.

Mainly because the modern social environment is constantly deteriorating, the elderly pick up bottles, just want to protect their urban environmental hygiene. Make some contribution to the environment of the society.

It's their habit. Many elderly people are used to being frugal all their lives, and they want to earn more money when they have money, so they will go to pick up bottles.

Many elderly people are not poor but are still picking up bottles everywhere, this is because the old people's life was very hard when they were young, and they know that today's happy life is not easy to come by, so they live very frugally, and they can earn a little by selling bottles.

Fundamentally speaking, the main reason is that the elderly are frugal by nature and do not want to waste things, and may feel that it is a pity to throw away a lot of waste products in vain; At the same time, picking up waste is also a kind of business, a way of activity, and it is better to find something to do than to stay.

If you look at this matter, it is easy to understand that the elderly have experienced revolution or hard life, and they know how hard-won life is to get better, and the self-esteem of the elderly is due to it, although they can't do the most important thing, they can still support themselves with their own hands, and they can also give full play to their residual heat, and look at the value they have created with their own hands, even if they are less, they are very gratified.

Maybe it's boring to stay at home or the elderly have developed a habit of picking up bottles and cans for a living when they're young.

1. A drowning person will also hold on to a straw with all his might, out of the instinct of survival. For some elderly people, the traditional Chinese virtue of "frugality" has become instinctive, and they will do it without thinking about it. (I think most of them are.) ）

2. Individual elderly people are really short of money. (Moved that in China, there are elderly people who rely on this to help students.) 3. Individual old people are stingy. (There is an essential difference from the first reason, the former is instinct, and the latter is a money word.) ）

4. Individual elderly people have strong social morality and strive to contribute to the city's appearance, and it is another thing to sell them for money later. (There really are such noble people.) ）

5. Because of boredom.
