There is a "bottle box" at the toll booth of the new store of Hubei Jiaotou Jingzhu Expressway, and the employees spontaneously put discarded beverage bottles and express packaging boxes into the "bottle security box". Is the centralized collection of waste products to sell for their own money? Not. They had gathered up to help an elderly widow.

Lei Changjin's mother-in-law, 71, lives in Tucheng Village, Chibi Xindian Town, Hubei Province, just 100 meters from the Xindian toll station. Grandma Lei is a widowed old man, because of her age, she is unable to farm, life is very poor, she came up with the idea of scavenging, with the "convenience" of the highway, frequently walking into the lane to collect waste.

Although she was persuaded by the staff to return each time, she often stole detours, avoided toll booths, climbed up the slope and climbed over the fence, re-entering the highway to pick up waste.

"The highway is very traffic-heavy and fast, and it is very dangerous for pedestrians to walk on the highway." Toll booth employees are worried about the dangerous behavior of Grandma Lei on the road to pick up waste.

Everyone went to the door many times to contact Grandma Lei to publicize the policy and popularize safety knowledge for her, but no substantive changes were made. So Chen Zaiyi, the person in charge of the toll station of the new store, organized and called on employees to launch a "bottle delivery" activity to Grandma Lei. "Collecting beverage bottles and other items discarded by employees and giving them to Grandma Lei on a regular basis can not only solve the problems of staff who need to be persuaded to return, but also protect the personal safety of Grandma Lei, and ensure the safety and smoothness of the highway."

"I have to run very far every day, and I can only pick up a dozen bottles a day. Thank you for helping me, I will definitely listen to you in the future, never get on the highway again..." On November 30, when the employees handed over the first batch of 180 "love bottles" collected to Grandma Lei, Grandma Lei was very happy and repeatedly promised that she would never enter the highway again to pick up waste.
