Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

As for other things, why should we worry about them? "

"That's right. People of our age, as long as we have enough food and warm clothes, and don't get involved in the affairs of our children, then our lives will be very comfortable."

It’s true. Whenever I mention my children now, they become unhappy.

I don’t know what’s going on, it’s really weird?

"What's so strange about that?"

"That's right, kids nowadays are different from when we were young!"

"is not that right?

At that time, we were worried about whether we could stay alive, whether we could have enough food to eat, and whether we could wear warm clothes.

But now they are not worried about these things at all. Instead, they are still thinking, how nice it would be if they didn’t have to go to school, study, or do homework?

Another thing is, how wonderful it would be if we could play forever?

Anyway, when we were their age, we didn’t have as many as they do.”

"That's right. We didn't have as much to do as they did back then."

"That's right. Anyway, kids nowadays are different from our time."

“Isn’t it different?

If it's the same, then we have other things to worry about."

"That's really true!"

I really don't know how to say this, I just know one thing, that is, I have to move again.

Ugh!

Let’s not talk about other things over the years, just talk about moving. I regret it every time I move. It is really too troublesome.

Not to mention other things, I don’t know how much stuff I threw away just from moving.

Just as the three children were helping the old couple move, they kept talking.

"Dad, Mom, there's really no need to move all of these things upstairs!"

"That's right, there's only a small space upstairs. Even if you two want to put them all, there's nowhere to put them!"

"That's right. There are only a few dozen square meters of space upstairs. If you really move all your things up there, you two won't be able to sleep. There really are many things you can't use.

Like this big water tank in our house, why did you two elders move it upstairs?

Is this for water or other things?

To tell you the truth, no matter what you put in it, it takes up space!"

"It's true. With the house we renovated, we don't have to worry about not having enough storage space.

There is no need for baskets and frames like these. They are useless and just get in the way. "

"That's right, it really takes up space!"

In fact, looking at the things they talked about, we know that many of them are useless, but they don’t know that every one of the things left behind is used by people. Just as they said, they can’t bear to throw them away.

At this time, her man continued what they were saying.

"What do you know?

How do you know they are useless?

Not to mention other things, just talk about this big water tank. It can not only be used to make sauerkraut for eating in winter, but also to store water.

Or if you put something else in it, how come it is useless?

Yes, it is very convenient to live upstairs and have running water. Does that mean the water supply will never be cut off all year round?

Or why not put it aside and use the waste water to water the flowers or flush the toilet?

Since I asked you to move it upstairs, there must be a purpose for keeping it. How do you know it is useless?"

"Okay, okay, if you say we should move, we'll move. But there are closets upstairs for clothes and bedding. Do we have to move this old closet up there, too?"

"yes?

Dad, are you going to move this old-fashioned furniture upstairs too?"

"Move, why not move?

I know that at this time of year, those new furniture are very beautiful, but the furniture in our house is not broken, and they are things that your mother and I are used to using, so let's move them all upstairs!

It saves me from having to live upstairs again, where there isn’t even anything familiar.

Another thing is that it costs a lot of money to buy a set of furniture, and these furniture cannot be sold for much even if they are sold in the second-hand market.

In this case, we are all people of this age, there is no need to spend that money."

"No, Mom and Dad, you two are not short of money. Not to mention how much pension you get every month, you have made a lot of money in the past. When did you start to be so stingy with yourselves?"

"That's right, you two weren't like this before, right?"

"No, isn't this too old?

I think every bit I can save is a bit. "

"No, Dad, there's really no need for you and my mom to do that."

“That’s right, why bother?

Our family doesn't need this little money, so why bother?"

"It's not just because of these reasons. The main reason is that we are used to it. How can we just change something that is so comfortable to use?"

"Yes, so should we move this old color TV up there as well?"

"To be honest, do we really want to move?

It’s this TV. We asked someone to repair it several times but it still didn’t work. We wanted to move it upstairs and continue using it but it’s still not working. ”

"is it?

I thought you were going to move this up there too?"

"You think I don't want to?

It's a pity that it's broken. If it were still usable, I wouldn't have replaced it even if it was just for me to watch the news. But unfortunately it's broken.

Ugh!

It’s been almost 20 years since I bought it, and it’s good that it’s still working.”

"That's because you two elders care about it when you use it normally. If someone doesn't care about it, I'm afraid they would have changed it countless times."

"Well, since we want to change it, let's go to the mall and choose a better TV.

You and my mom don’t have any other hobbies, we just like watching the news, and we can’t live without a TV.”

"That's true. Then buy a new TV."

"Okay, what about these other appliances?"

"If other home appliances can be used, they will be used. If they cannot be used, they will definitely not be moved upstairs, right?

Don’t I know that things that can’t be used take up space?”

"How could you not know?

I just can’t understand why these clothes, which are from so many years ago, are still here.”

"That's true, Dad and Mom, you two don't wear them anymore, why do you still keep them?

Is it to keep it as a souvenir?

If you really have this plan, there is no need to keep so much, right? "

"What do you know?

I plan to donate this bag of clothes. Even though our country is developing well now, there are still poor areas. I just haven’t dealt with them yet.”

(That’s not the case. I really want to tell them that donating these clothes is just an excuse. I took these clothes out and put them together separately so that I can store them in the space when no one is around.

Who knows if it will be useful in the future, so it is better to keep it in the space. Even if it is not used in the future, at worst you can cut it up and use it as a rag.)

"Oh!

I thought you were going to move all these old clothes upstairs, too?"
