introduction
Diligence and thrift are the traditional habits of the Chinese nation.
In the "Historical Records: Biography of the Father of the Marquis of Pingjin", it is said, "The way to govern the country begins with enriching the people, and the key to enriching the people lies in frugality." It can be seen that if you want your family to be rich, you must pay attention to frugality, and if you don't pay attention to thrift, it is difficult to get rich!
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Ji Wenzi in the Lu State, who was born in a family of three generations, not only a nobleman, but also a very famous diplomat, in his more than 30 years as an official. Always take thrift as the foundation of life, not only require yourself to live a very frugal life, but also require your family to live a very frugal life.
According to historical records, Ji Wenzi has few decent clothes except for court clothes, and usually, he dresses very plainly, and even wears "patches and patches" to go out.
One day, a man named Zhongsun advised Ji Wenzi and said: "As a high-ranking minister, you are highly respected, not only do you dress plainly all day long, but you also do not allow your wife and concubine to wear silk clothes, why on earth? Don't you think your life is very shabby? Why don't you change yourself?"
When Ji Wenzi heard Zhongsun say this, he replied solemnly: "I also want to wear silk and satin every day, and I also want to live a good life, but look at the people of our country, there are still many of them who eat food that is so coarse that it is difficult to swallow all day long! They are all dressed in shabby clothes! They can be so frugal, why can't I? I am a secretary, I should take the lead in frugality!"
After Zhongsun heard Ji Wenzi say this, he lowered his head in shame. Later, Zhongsun also began to live an extremely frugal life!
A senior netizen said that young people nowadays don't know what thrift is, but for older people, thrift is still a habit they always adhere to!
In fact, this senior netizen's statement is still very reasonable. A few days ago, when he was rummaging through the garbage bin, he picked up a cucumber and wanted to take it home to pickle it, but when some villagers saw the cucumber he was holding, the villagers said that the cucumber could not be eaten, but Uncle Sun did not agree with the villagers' views!
So, what's going on here?
Next, let's talk about it.

Uncle Sun, 71 years old this year, has children and daughters, and the economic conditions of the children are good. It stands to reason that Uncle Sun should live a worry-free life.
But Uncle Sun is used to being frugal all his life, and he is unwilling to reach out and ask his children for money. Usually, Uncle Sun would walk around the village, and when he saw any garbage that could be used, he would pick it up and sell it at the scrap yard.
On April 22, Uncle Sun picked up a cucumber when he was rummaging through the garbage bin, and when Uncle Sun saw that the cucumber was quite fresh, he was ready to take it home and pickle it to eat, but what Uncle Sun didn't expect was: when he walked to the entrance of the village with the cucumber, he actually met a group of villagers basking in the sun, and when the villagers saw the cucumber in Uncle Sun's hand, everyone felt that the cucumber was inedible. So, he persuaded Uncle Sun to throw it away. But Uncle Sun thinks: It's a pity to throw away a good cucumber, besides, this cucumber still has plastic wrap! Why can't you eat it?
Uncle Sun is a very stubborn person, and when he thinks that this cucumber can still be eaten, the villagers no longer persuade him, so Uncle Sun took this cucumber home. As for whether Uncle Sun ate this cucumber or not, the villagers don't know!
The above is a simple process of this event.
When many netizens learned about this incident, netizens started a heated discussion.
Netizen voices
Netizen gentleman loves money: Don't think crookedly. Some supermarkets sell this kind of cucumber with plastic wrap, but this kind of cucumber is pickled, and you can't put too much salt when cooking, otherwise, it will be very salty!
Netizen, you come and go: It's a pity to throw away a cucumber that is good, Uncle Sun is right to pick it up and pickle it and eat it! The villagers are thinking crookedly.
In short, netizens have a lot to talk about.
Lao Hu's point of view
We all know that farming is not easy.
It is said that the growth cycle of cucumbers is between 90 days --- 120 days, and it is not easy for a cucumber to grow into a finished melon in such a long growth cycle. Based on this, we must not waste a single cucumber at will.
Lao Hu thinks: There is nothing wrong with Uncle Sun taking the cucumbers he picked up home to pickle and eat, and anyone who thinks Uncle Sun is wrong has unhealthy thoughts!
