There is a poem that says: "The silkworm will not be able to die until it dies, and the candle will not dry when it turns into ashes."
The silkworm will not spit out the silk until it dies. When the candle is burned into ashes, it will not be able to drip into tears. Those who "spend their lives" live the most noble and sad way. The poem
is not only a portrayal of the teacher, but also a true reflection of parents in ordinary families.
There are too many parents who have worked hard all their lives for their family and offspring, but have never enjoyed any blessings. When I was in my old age, I was still worried about money. Perhaps, they will "burn" to the end for future generations.
Elders are getting older and should just retire safely. Why do you still have to worry about money?
The most important reason is that the children’s life pressure is too great and they can’t afford to support their parents at all, and their parents still need to subsidize them. At this time, don’t parents just drag their elderly bodies to work?
The elderly in big cities have relatively high pensions and many assets, so they don’t need to continue working, which is normal. However, for middle-aged and elderly people in rural or small cities, their pensions are not high and their living prices are rising. So don’t they have to continue working?
Most people who are approaching their sixties and still insist on working to make money have these experiences.
1. Children cannot support their parents, so their parents can only go to work.
Life is never a flat land, but a mountain. No matter how we climb, it is still difficult to climb over it. Why? Because of personal power, it is insignificant.
There is a saying that summarizes it well. A grain of sand in the times falls on the shoulders of ordinary people, and it is a mountain.
Children from rural areas cannot afford to buy a house or a car. They can only do a job of 996 and their salary is not high, so it would be great if they can support themselves. I dare not expect anything else.
Parents know the difficulty of their children and understand the hardships of life, so they will continue to work outside, hoping to relieve the pressure on their families and their children so that they will not become more and more tired as they live.
I have met some retired elderly people who have to get up early and work as security guards in the factory in order to earn more than 2,000 yuan in salary. In their words, it would be great to be able to make a little more money.
Not everyone is qualified to choose their own life. Where we can't see, there are countless ordinary people who live early and late.
2. In order for the child to get married and have children, parents can only go to work.
There is such a family where parents can get married and have children, so they empty the coffin book and let the children buy a house. In the end, they still owed more than one million foreign debts.
Seeing the child’s salary of 6,000 or 7,000 yuan a month, parents also feel that their children are under great pressure. In order to pay off the loan as soon as possible, the two retired elderly families insist on going out for odd jobs and earning some coolie money.
Some relatives are particularly puzzled. Is this really valuable to do so?
This parents only said one sentence: "We don't know whether it is valuable. What we only know is that it is not easy for children. If we don't even help them, would we want us to watch them be unlucky?"
People who eat meat will never understand the pain of people who don't have to eat, which is inevitable. Just like rich people, they always think that seven-digit numbers are small money, but for most ordinary families, seven-digit numbers are already astronomical numbers.
Another parents actually have no choice but to work. Perhaps, making your child a little happier is also considered the efforts and contributions made by parents for their children.
3. The health is OK, I don’t want to stay at home.
The reason why the above two types of parents have to go out to work is to reduce the burden on their children. There is also a kind of parents who insist on going out to work, in fact, in order to get rid of the "staying at home". There is an old man in the community of
. He has an eight-digit net worth and has three houses under his name. However, after she retired, she still worked as a cleaner in the street and worked very hard, which made everyone around her feel puzzled.
Someone asked her, Sister Zhang, you are so rich, why do you still come out to work as a cleaner?
Sister Zhang only replied: "Being a cleaner is just to do something for yourself, so that you won't be confused at home every day and get out of touch with the outside world."
There are some middle-aged and elderly people in the middle class. Although they have accumulated a lot of money when they are young and have little pressure on life, they still have certain requirements for life. is that they cannot be idle and have to find something for themselves.
life, you can enjoy it. But after enjoying it for a long time, I feel very tired. Therefore, going out to experience life and continuing to work is a kind of "regulation" for boring life.
Written to the end
When talking about this, I believe we will understand the truth. Retired middle-aged and elderly people go out to work only have two purposes, either to reduce the burden on their children or to prevent themselves from being idle.
The former is usually ordinary people and has no savings or money. The latter are generally rich people of middle class or above, just to experience life. Of course, it is normal for different people to pursue different life.
But it still has to be said that should not wear tinted glasses at any time to look at the elderly who are still making money. Their sense of responsibility for life and family is worthy of our study and admiration.
