Chapter 434: The Turn of the Year
Shen Yun held a large bag in his hand and a backpack on his back, and followed the old grandfather who was picking up junk into his house. After Shen Yun followed the old grandfather into the door, the old grandfather turned on the switch next to the door.
In the originally dark room, the lights instantly lit up after the lights were turned on. It was said to be lit up, but it was actually a dim yellow light, illuminating the dilapidated small house in the dark night.
After turning on the lights, Shen Yun was able to see some of the furnishings and furniture in the small house in relative detail.
The old man who was picking up rubbish seemed to have his unique experience in storage and organization. The old man introduced to Shen Yun: "Young man, if you find a place to put things or sit down and rest, there may be a lot of things at home. I Normal283 in the daytime. I will go out and dig through the garbage, collect some recyclable mineral water bottles and cardboard boxes, and sell them to the waste recycling station. The income from selling these wastes can support my daily expenses.
Shen Yun carefully looked at the things that were piled up at the old grandpa's house. The old grandpa would not just pile it there without sorting it out because there were too many things. Shen Yun saw that the old grandfather would crush all the mineral water bottles he had picked up, and then tied them with ropes into bundles and piled them there. Bundles and bundles are boxy, so those plastic water bottles take up a good chunk of space (ceff), next to stacks of cardboard boxes, all flattened and folded. Although there are many things in the old grandpa's small house, it looks surprisingly neat.
Shen Yun thought to himself: "Too Zi, who is in the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness addiction, should be very happy to see this old grandfather's storage process. The result of sorting out is indeed pleasing to the eye!
Shen Yun then scanned the entire rental house for a whole week. Shen Yun was surprised to find that in addition to some scraps that the grandfather usually picked up by himself, there was only a foldable sofa bed. There is no extra furniture left, but after filling up the scraps that the grandfather picked up during the day, there is not much space left in the house.
The grandfather saw that Shen Yun had been examining the interior structure of the house, he smiled, then pulled Shen Yun to put down the luggage beside him, and went into the kitchen to visit. There are only tableware and kitchen utensils in the kitchen, and Shen Yun found that the grandfather's house has no appliances that can be used.
Looking around the house for a week, Shen Yun found that the only valuable thing in this house might be the gas stove. The old grandfather turned on an old radio and proudly said to Shen Yun, "I found this by accident when I was rummaging through the trash can downstairs in a community for mineral water bottles and cartons. Rich families have already eliminated them. Hey, hey, I have been picking up used batteries, and if I am lucky, the batteries can be used for a long time!
The old grandpa proudly showed Shen Yun his worn-out radio, and then the old grandpa said that he came home every day and listened to the radio when he was bored. Then cook half a bag of instant noodles or eat half a steamed bun. If you sell the scraps, you can eat a hot meal with a little money on hand. From the words of the old man, you can hear that he feels that he has lived a warm life.
Shen Yun looked at the happy smile on the grandfather's face, and suddenly felt moved. An old man with such a difficult life can face life positively, what qualifications do he have to call himself tired?
