Traditional frugality of the elderly in China

Sichuan young man went back to his grandmother's house for the New Year and turned off his phone as soon as he turned on the light. It can be seen that grandma is very frugal. Even a very cheap electricity bill can save a little. As long as there is light, no one can turn on the light and waste it.

First, the grandson tried to turn on the light many times and was criticized by his grandmother.

Sichuan guys go back to grandma's house and play mobile phones at grandma's house during the day. He thought the light was too dim for his eyes, so he turned on the light, but as soon as it was turned on, his grandmother turned it off immediately. At the same time, grandma muttered that her electricity bill for the past year had been used up by the child these two days. When the young man tried to turn on the light again, grandma directly blocked the switch with her hand and prevented her grandson from touching it. This scene makes people feel very funny.

Second, grandma's behavior is very frugal and deserves our understanding.

In fact, grandma didn't want this young man to turn on the light because of her long-term frugal habit. When she was young, China's economy was underdeveloped, and many people in China were hungry every day. Therefore, for grandma, thrift has penetrated into the bone marrow. Although the economic conditions are good now, she still doesn't want to waste any electricity, hoping to be frugal. Since the boy was born, China's economic level has been in a good state, so it won't be so frugal. However, their behavior is just a small routine of life, which is worth understanding.

Third, respect the choice of the elderly, harmony is the most important.

I don't know how that young man is living at his grandmother's house without a light now. In the face of their situation, I think it is better to respect the behavior of the elderly. After all, it is dark in the room and there is light outside during the day, so you can play with your mobile phone outside. Moreover, young people should not only think about playing mobile phones, but also spend more time with grandma, pay attention to her life and help her do what she can.
