Chapter 1486: Since It's Come to This, Let's Eat First~OvO~

~3 min read 416 words

In the house where Grandpa Changhai and Grandma Cuilan lived.

The balcony was piled high with various cardboard boxes.

Any scrap that might be put to use.

They couldn't bear to throw even a single bit away~

Especially the fruit on the table.

They always waited until it rotted before eating it.

Once the rotten ones were eaten, the intact ones slowly rotted too.

Round and round.

Cycle after cycle~

Reba suggested, "Qin Feng~ Since we have time, how about we clean up the old couple's home?"

Perhaps it was because they were living together with Qin Feng.

At least when it came to cleaning the room,

the two of them were at least normal people.

Hai Nan's courtyard cottage, while not spotless, was at least tidy and comfortable~

According to Qin Feng and Reba's lifestyle philosophy,

they could be lazy about anything.

But when it came to hygiene, they couldn't let things rot~

Upon hearing Reba's suggestion,

Qin Feng nodded and replied, "I think that's a good idea."

The silly netizens in the live stream all shouted, "Pro!"~

—【Good heavens! Just like my mom and dad! They both love hoarding useless stuff.】

--【In the eyes of the elderly, if it has even a little use, it can't be thrown away.】

--【My grandparents are just like that. If a scrap recycling station can take it, anyone who throws it away will get them furious.】

--【Any small object can turn trash into treasure; that is true thrift. My mom can DIY so many things; I'd call her a scrap-handicraft expert! --【Sure enough, parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents everywhere are all pretty much the same!】

--【After all, we grew up in different eras.】

The facts indeed bear this out.

Although the silly netizens in the live stream,

usually love to talk nonsense,

their sharp comments on many matters are very reasonable. People often say that thrift is a traditional virtue of Huaxia.

However, for those elderly people,

they don't care about virtues.

Their thrift is entirely for the sake of living.

Even though material conditions are abundant now,

if they waste food or discard items,

such behaviors might bring a tiny bit of guilt to the elderly. After all,

perhaps in their childhood era,

not being thrifty would really make survival very hard?

Of course!

Part of the reason is also that they are indeed used to being thrifty.

Many life habits

are not easily changed.

For instance, nowadays young people must drink the lid off their yogurt!
