During this year's "May Day" holiday, I still chose to go back to my hometown and come to my second brother's house to stay for 5 days, one is to go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, but the most important thing is to choose to come back to see my second brother and sister-in-law in these days every year.
Because the second brother and sister-in-law are both in their 70s, they came back to get together and talk about their parents' shortcomings, and felt warm in their hearts, their parents were gone, and they felt a bit more intimate than their mothers.
Chatting with my second brother and sister-in-law tonight, I suddenly felt very surprised, the second brother, who has lived in the countryside all his life, is 70 years old this year, but this old man lives transparently, can see and think openly, and is quite fashionable, which is worth learning from:
Will shop online
I didn't expect that the second brother, who has lived in the countryside all my life, is quite fashionable and fashionable.
Look at the old man from head to toe clean upright, the small shoes on the feet are very fashionable, ask to know, from head to toe clothes, pants and shoes are the old man himself bought online, and look at the quality is not bad, this pair of small shoes 36 yuan, look like 360 yuan, the old man is really powerful, good vision.
He told me that he is 70 years old this year, and he bought it a few years ago, and he didn't buy it in the future, and he couldn't wear it out when he bought these clothes, and he bought a lot of leather shoes in the past few years, and last year he bought a lot of cotton shoes and shoes for spring and autumn, and he didn't buy them anymore since this year.
When I went to bed at night, my second sister-in-law arranged my husband and I in the big house at the back, and when I entered the house, I saw that the cotton slippers were upright, and I asked to know that this was also bought by the second brother, and it was quite cheap, 20 yuan for 5 pairs, which was in the physical store, but it could not be bought anyway.
I think that this old man in the countryside lives a very fashionable life, which is worth learning from.
Still working
Although my second brother lives in the countryside, in addition to his handy farm work in the countryside, the most important thing for him is that he can drive in this life, driving a big car when he was young, and now he drives a seven-row car when he is old, and then the neighbors want to go to the town or to the county seat, so he will help out of the car and earn 320, 180 yuan.
Now the second brother is 70 years old, and there are still many people who hire his car to travel, because the second brother has driven a car all his life, of course, everyone knows that this old man's skills are good, so he still likes to ride his car.
I just joked with my second brother, how many years have you been working, you are 70 years old, are your eyes okay?
The old man said that I would work for a day, but I couldn't stay at home anyway, and if I was asked to do nothing, I might stay at home for three or two years......
Come to think of it, especially for the elderly who live in rural areas, it would be really troublesome to stay at home like this if they didn't work.
Resolutely do not go to his son's house
The second brother's son has a building in the county, the second brother and the second sister-in-law said that last year was a little sick, lived in the son's house for 4 days, chatted tonight and talked about this topic, said that if you continue to live, you have to hold back the illness if you are not sick, stay upstairs all day and do not go downstairs, even if you go downstairs, no one knows, it is too inconvenient, you have to change shoes and clothes when you go out, how can it be so convenient in the countryside, you don't need to change your shoes when you come out and go in, you don't need to change your clothes, in fact, to put it bluntly, it's a matter of habit.
Therefore, the second brother said that even if he can't take care of himself when he is old in the future, he will never go to his son's house to live, and it is best to live freely in his own nest.
Do not buy coffins
Our own families in the countryside here have cemeteries in the mountains, which involves that after cremation, the average family will buy a coffin and then put the ashes in the coffin before burial.
We talked about this topic tonight, and the old man actually said that he wouldn't let us buy him a coffin on the day he left, so he just got a small box for him to put in it.
Then my second sister-in-law was even more ridiculous, the second sister-in-law said that she must buy a big coffin, I heard that the coffin is the house of the afterlife, she likes to live in a big house, it is really fun to say.
Let's just say that this old man sees very openly, and he sees it very lightly, and tells us that it doesn't matter if he dies, and he doesn't know it, don't buy a coffin and spend a lot of money, it's useless, it's all for others to see, it's meaningless.
There are still more than 3,000 days to go when it is full
The 70-year-old second brother chatted with us tonight and told us that he can live for 10 years, and the full count is more than 3,000 days, and the countdown has really come.
So it doesn't matter, you can eat whatever you want every day, drink whatever you want, don't think about it so much, people will have a day sooner or later, I think this old man thinks too much.
Money is kept at home and not in the bank
Regarding the fact that he has tens of thousands of dollars that will not be put in the bank, we talked again tonight.
I said that no matter how much interest it is, it is safer to keep the money in the bank, but the old man said that the money will never be deposited in the bank in the future, and it will be kept at home, and it is more convenient to take the flowers if you want to spend them than in the bank.
I also joked that I must tell my children where to put it in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to find it when the old man is gone.
We didn't think of this old man, so why did he have such an idea? I don't put my money in the bank, and I say that I put it in a particularly safe place at home, I really can't think of where he put it.
For this, only his thoughts, I feel a bit different, I still think that the money should be safer in the bank.
Overall, I just think that as a second brother who has lived in the countryside all his life, it is rare to live so transparently, see so openly and be so fashionable, and it is worth learning from.
