At the entrance of the community where I live, every time around 4 p.m., there will be many vendors selling vegetables who will set up long stalls. These vendors are quite old, about fifty or sixty years old, and there are no young people.
These people are all people with grandchildren, and it is good to spend their old age in this way.

Because I often buy vegetables, I know a little about them, and I know a little more about one of them.
This boss, is an aunt, age 77, thin, not tall, there are about 140 centimeters, but the eyes are not deaf, it is very spiritual.
She drives an electric tricycle, always pulling full of vegetables, and the variety is very rich. There are cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, shallots, pumpkins, noodle vegetables, rapeseed and much more. Most of these dishes are cultivated by herself, and a few are wholesale from the market. Because there are many dishes, her stall is always long, and among these people, it is considered to be large.
Auntie is very warm and cheerful, people are also generous, not at all cut the door, for example, the price of the dish is 4.7 yuan, for others will be 4.5 yuan, but she is only 4 yuan. Because of this, her business is always good, there are always people in front of the stalls, and the daily dishes can always be sold clean.
Because the old lady is old, many people think that the conditions of the old people are difficult, but this is not the case. The old lady had three children, two men and one woman, all of whom were adults, and the grandchildren of the old man had children. Therefore, the old man has no pressure, and the conditions are not a problem at all.
A while ago, the old man's village was demolished, and she divided three houses and a lot of demolition money and rental subsidies, and the old lady's pockets were even more full. When I talked to her, she said that she still had more than 200,000 private money, ah, that was even more remarkable, so the old lady's life was simply negative pressure.
I don't understand, once asked the old man, why do you have to work so hard?
She said she likes to move and feels very uncomfortable idle. I understand.
The old lady had been busy all her life, and labor was her habit. Although he is old, he can move, so he does not want to be idle. There are many benefits to moving, enriching, enlivening the brain, contacting society, and not being lonely and empty. I thought it was good.
Many of the elderly today often have problems of one kind or another after retirement, such as emptiness and loneliness, or forgetfulness and dementia, or physical weakness, and so on. The root cause is separation from society and separation from labor. Therefore, it is really a good thing to have some labor, a thing that is profitable. It is worth learning from both making money and relying on children and exercising the body and contacting the active brain of society.
The old lady's three houses, she said one for each child, showed that she was an equal person, and her thoughts were not conservative at all.
Sitting in front of the old lady's stall that day, a young man stepped forward and shouted, "Auntie, what do you see for me?"
When I looked at it, it turned out to be a game coin, which was very similar to the one-dollar coin.
After changing the money for the young man, the old lady said that she did not look carefully at the money given by others, because she believed that few people were bad now. She said she received four fake $100 bills last winter.
I advised her to receive another large amount of money to take a closer look, in case she received a vacation would not be a day's work in vain? The old man said that she had now learned to pay attention and identify.
Old ladies can earn a few hundred yuan a night, which far exceeds many wage earners and dwarfs many young people. In short, I am ashamed of myself.
The story of the old lady gave me many lessons: it is to work hard, no matter how old, when it is needed; the results are not big, just because the effort is not enough.
I think that many people do not gain enough, which is also the reason: too little effort, and too much expectation. Learning a little from the old lady, I thought was a way.
