These old people go through the garbage not to make money, but because they are diligent and restless. Old people are all living through hardships, so in their eyes, there is no waste at all. They are reluctant to throw away a meal for a few days, and they are reluctant to throw away the beverage bottles that young people drink, so they are very frugal and very housekeeping.
it is precisely because of this habit that they put what they do? Face? Put it aside, usually carry children to pick up waste, and then secretly sell it for money. But don't look at the fact that they usually go through trash cans and pick up cardboard plastic bottles on the street, but that doesn't mean they are short of money.

They are just used to a busy life. If they don't find something to enrich themselves, they feel that life is dull, so they don't need cost or fatigue? Picking up garbage? It became a part of their lives.
