Third aunt has never been married, for no particular reason. When she was young, she couldn't get high or low, and she didn't have a suitable boyfriend. In addition, grandma has been ill in bed and taken care of by her third aunt.
My grandmother is a retired cadre with a salary of 1000, and my third aunt is a retiree with a salary of 3500. She has no mortgage, no car loan and no relatives to support her, so I don't have to bear too much medical expenses. Two people are guarding the money, that is, eating and drinking.
My third aunt's clothes are basically old, all of them are my and my mother's old clothes. One Spring Festival, I really couldn't stand it, so I bought a down jacket for my third aunt.
She said she didn't want anything, not only didn't want it, but even tried it on, and threw it at me directly, urging me to return it at the mall.
I said this one is on sale, and the last one, if she can't return it, she will give it to your mother. I asked her if she didn't like the style of the dress or the color.
She replied: I don't go out much at home either. I don't want to wear new clothes.
I bought her down jackets to underwear, and I bought them many times before and after, but she didn't accept them.
Only when the season changes, I pack her some old clothes that she doesn't want to wear, and she will pick them up happily.
I don't buy clothes or skin care products. Winter is 2 yuan a bottle of colorful glycerin. I'll cut her hair short when it grows. Every time I invite her to travel, she doesn't go anywhere on the grounds of taking care of me in the sun.
All this is understandable, but we are surprised that she just doesn't buy a mobile phone. She said it was unnecessary. It is enough to have a fixed telephone at home. In addition, the mobile phone has to pay a monthly fee.
In the past two years, the epidemic situation needs a health code to operate beyond the entrance. Sometimes my aunt is inconvenient, but she still insists on her own ideas and says she won't buy anything.
My family needs rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables and fruits, and my sun medicine. My third aunt asked my mother to help with the shopping.
My mother is almost 60 years old, and there are many things at home. She delivers goods to my grandmother's house once a week.
No matter how much my mother spends, my aunt gives her money. This money comes from my grandmother's salary, which was originally decided by my mother and them. As my grandmother is taken care of by my third aunt, my aunt can't afford it.
My third aunt cooks and pays great attention to health.
No frying, no barbecue, no snacks.
She has always believed that steamed bread at home is more delicious than fried dough sticks, boiled eggs are healthier than pancake fruit, and soy milk made at home is more nutritious than tofu brain outside.
Even the pickles are dried turnips made by myself. I don't eat a bite when I buy them outside, and my third aunt won't let me dry them.
In the small yard where they live, there is a big flower pond. Later, Sanyi changed it into a small vegetable garden and planted all kinds of vegetables, long beans in summer and cabbage in winter. If you can spend money, you don't have to spend money.
A barrel 10 kg of edible oil can be eaten for half a year, and all kinds of seasonings can be put. There are always various celery leaves and carrot leaves in the cooked millet porridge. We usually pinch off the thrown leaves when picking vegetables. She will reuse them twice and never throw them away.
Even the heart-protecting grass they planted was originally a bonsai, and the aunt could chop it up and cook it in rice porridge.
Not only that, my aunt ate the steamed bread I ate and the remaining half bowl of porridge, for fear of wasting it.
With such eating habits, I can live a long and healthy life, and my third aunt has contributed a lot.
Both of them go to bed early, saying that not watching TV can save electricity.
Go to her house to wash your hands. The pipe under the sink is connected to the bucket. After washing your hands, flush the toilet with that water.
Don't pour the water twice when washing vegetables, save it for flushing the toilet.
Don't pour the rice water, save it for watering the vegetables.
Don't throw away eggshells, banana peels and leftover bones. They should be dried and made into powder as fertilizer for flowers.
We don't wear cotton autumn clothes and socks, and neither do we. We should give them to my third aunt, who uses them as mops to mop the floor.
Some small boxes at home are all kinds of lunch boxes, and I never buy them.
Even that bucket of rice is the 5L mineral water bottle of Nongfu Spring I want.
We bought a house the year before last, and my third aunt asked me how much it cost. I said 2.35 million, loan1.2000.
A few days later, Sanyi asked me to go to the bank to help her get 65,438+million, saying it was due and needed to be taken out. I asked her what's the use of taking so much money, and she said that I would pay the mortgage first.
I knew I couldn't use the money, so I didn't promise. In the evening, my third aunt went to my mother's place again, holding cash and insisting on adding 654.38+ million to the house I bought. My mother disagreed.
My third aunt dropped the money and left.
My mother sent it back to her again. Who knows, this trouble, my third aunt cried and made trouble, and insisted on giving me the money.
My mom says you just have no money. You are old. My daughter should take care of you or you. Don't think so much. You can leave the money to the old people.
Third Aunt said she wouldn't promise anything, saying that she had saved 200,000 yuan, and now she has given me 65,438+million yuan, with money left. Buying a house is such a big thing that her niece can't even sleep well at night without help.
My mother is in distress situation, so let me make my own decisions.
I know my third aunt's temper. She was the best to me, so I took the money, but I didn't pay it back to the bank. I left it for her.
Third aunt is not easy, I can't spend her money.
I have made up my mind. Give third aunt a pension in the future. She always regards me as her own daughter. When I was in college, my third aunt secretly bought me my first mobile phone. 1000.
Every time I go home, my third aunt will carry my mother behind her back and give me some living expenses.
When I got married, other relatives gave me 1000 yuan as a bride price. Third Aunt gave me 1000 to my face and 10000 behind my back.
I was young at that time, and I wanted to get it from my third aunt, because my mother was very strict about my money.
Later, when I got married and made a living by myself, I stopped spending money. Third aunt secretly helped me again, and I said I couldn't want anything.
This is the most thrifty person I have ever met.
