Mrs. Wang went to the public toilet every day to carry water home, and washed in the public toilet, all year round

Dream of becoming a doctor

Mrs. Wang goes to the public toilet on the side of the community every day to carry water home, morning and evening is also in the public toilet to wash, all year round, her family is out of water?

Mrs. Wang, 84 years old, looks very young and looks like she is 65 years old, and rented to the community the year before. Speaking with an out-of-town accent, immigrants from out of town to the local area decades ago. Short, very strong, loves to laugh out loud, loves to play mahjong, looks very generous and cheerful.

When she first moved to the community, I saw her carrying water home from the public toilet on the edge of the community with a kettle or a large drink bottle.

Someone asked the old lady, why did your house stop the water?

The old lady will answer, yes, the water pipe at home is leaking, and no one can be found to repair it for a while, so she has to close the main gate. It's not just about coming here to fetch some water.

Everyone thinks it's too hard to carry water to the fourth floor at such an old age.

There are many well-meaning people in the community.

Someone sent her the phone number of the plumber. (This is an old community, the welfare house of the original unit, and then the unit moved away, and there is no one to manage it here.) ）

Someone will also help the old lady carry water upstairs.

But after a long time, everyone will understand what is going on, this is Mrs. Wang in order to save water, specially to the public toilet to carry water.

Moreover, when passing by the public toilet in the morning and evening, you can often see Mrs. Wang washing her face in the sink.

Not all two years have passed, but the old woman still carries water from the public toilet to the house every day and washes it in the public toilet.

This old lady can be said to be extremely thrifty.

The old lady not only saves water, but also uses electricity, and the home hardly turns on the lights and does not turn on the TV.

The old men and women of the community like to walk and chat in the community after dinner.

And Mrs. Wang took advantage of the walking and chatting to follow others home, and lai watched TV in other people's homes. Every night I would stay at someone's house until nine o'clock before I went home to sleep.

However, there are exceptions, that is, her son will come to accompany her for a few days every month, and these days the old woman's son will turn on the TV to watch, and the old woman will not have to go to other people's homes to rub the TV.

The old woman almost does not buy meat vegetables 365 days a year, what vegetables are cheap to buy what vegetables, almost every day in the summer to see her buy a piece of winter melon from the vegetable farm to go home, and nine times out of ten is the head of winter melon.

If you think that the old lady has no money to save so much, you are very wrong.

The old woman was divided into three houses for demolition, and there were more than 800,000 compensation payments, and more than 4,000 pensions per month. Although it is not rich and expensive, it is more than enough to live on your own.

The old woman's son had planned to take the old mother to live at home, and when the demolition and resettlement house came down and decorated, the old lady was willing to live by herself.

But the old woman said that her son wanted to cheat her of the eight hundred thousand yuan in demolition compensation, and would rather rent a house outside by herself than go to her son's house.

The old woman's son usually comes to accompany the old lady on the weekend and buy some good dishes for the old lady to eat. The old lady was not happy about the arrival of the son, because when the son came, he would eat alone, and the rice was bought by the old woman herself. Watching TV at night wastes electricity.

Therefore, on weekends, the old lady's laughter when playing mahjong is obviously much less.

Everyone can't guess why Mrs. Wang is so buckled.

Her son didn't understand either.

When I read a book, there is a text that I remember vividly, that is, an excerpt from Balzac's novel Eugenie Grande. The protagonist in it, Grande, can be said to have kept money to the extreme, and has always thought that it is only a character created by the novel, which cannot exist in reality.

And Mrs. Wang refreshed my cognition, this live off the female version of Grande.
