1. In busy cities, mobile payment has become the norm of life, and we may not have carried cash for a long time. A few days ago, on my way to work, I met an old man who made me rethink this Xi.
On a peaceful morning, the sun shines through the leaves and the air is filled with freshness. When I passed by a flower shop on my way to work, I noticed an elderly man wandering in front of the shop.
The figure of the old man seemed a little lonely and helpless. He was dressed in an old-fashioned outfit and carried a cloth bag across his back.
He walked up to the shopkeeper and asked in a trembling voice, "Can you help me get some change?"The old man struggled to speak, but he tried to make his words as clear as possible.
The shopkeeper was busy arranging the flowers, and did not seem to notice the presence of the old man. The old man repeated his request again, a helplessness in his voice.
This time, the shopkeeper finally stopped what he was doing and looked up at the old man, frowning slightly. The shopkeeper spread out his hand and signaled that he had no change. The old man shook his head in disappointment and turned to leave.
Seeing this scene, I felt a pang of discomfort in my heart. Even though I didn't know the old man, I could feel his plight and helplessness.
I fumbled in my pockets and realized that I didn't have any cash with me. In this age of mobile payments, I can't remember how long it's been since I've used cash.
I felt a little guilty and wondered how I could help the old man. Suddenly, I remembered that there was a small supermarket nearby, where there should be change.
So, I pointed in the direction of the supermarket to the old man, indicating that I could go there and exchange some change for him, and the old man looked at me gratefully and nodded.
We walked to the supermarket together and I helped him change some change. When the old man got the change, he smiled and thanked me in a trembling voice. He said his family was sick and he needed to visit them in the hospital, but he couldn't get on the bus because he didn't have a smartphone.
Hearing this, I felt even more sad. The plight of the elderly made me realize that while mobile payments have brought us convenience, it can also be a barrier for some people.
We should pay more attention to those who need help, especially the elderly, who may face more difficulties and challenges.
2. On a sunny morning, the hustle and bustle of the streets and alleys are full of life. Granny Li, who is in her seventies, quietly guards her humble vegetable stall, her face carved with the marks of time.
Her basket is full of fresh vegetables, which she picks early in the morning from her small garden. She gently arranges each vegetable with her rough hands, as if telling her hard work and love for life.
Granny Lee's life was not easy. Her sons and daughters are all married and busy with their own lives.
Granny Li didn't want to be a burden to them, so she insisted on going out to sell vegetables every day and used her meager income to make ends meet. However, the rapid development of the times made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Whenever someone wants to pay for groceries through their mobile phone, they often show a confused and helpless look, and even helplessly ask, "Don't you have cash?"The reason behind this is that they are not familiar with this new type of payment method, and even some elderly people still use the old-fashioned button mobile phone.
What's even more heart-wrenching is that even if some elderly people use the collection code, because they are not familiar with the operation, the collection code may be set up by their children.
And the money received also went directly into the children's accounts, and the old people themselves could not control it. Among them, there are some unfilial children who take the hard-earned money of the old man as their own, so that the old man can contribute and contribute.
However, we also can't ignore some of the problems that exist in real life. Not all children are filial to their parents. Some elderly people are struggling to adapt to these unpredictable times, while also suffering from the pressure and indifference of their children.
They may be swayed by the faces of their children, and they have to bear all kinds of inconveniences and grievances in life in silence. This kind of helplessness and sadness can only be truly experienced by those who have experienced it firsthand.
In order to help elderly people like Granny Li better adapt to the intelligent society, there are some measures we can take.
1. We can bring some cash out of the house in case we need it. In this way, when we meet an elderly person in need, we can reach out in time. You can also be more patient and understanding, and try to choose cash payment when trading with them.
If we can all make small changes like this, it will be a huge help for those who are older.
2. We can take the initiative to help them learn Xi use new payment methods such as smartphones, so that they can better integrate into modern society.
Of course, it is more important for us to respect and treat the elderly from the bottom of our hearts. No matter how the times change and develop, we should care for and love them, because they are one of the most important people in our lives.
When we treat them with love and respect, we are also passing on a beautiful family values and positive social energy.
At the same time, we should pay more attention to the lives of the elderly. They may face many difficulties and challenges and need our care and help.
Bringing cash can also give you more control over your spending. When using electronic payments, we tend to ignore the amount of money we spend, and using cash payments can give us a more intuitive understanding of how much we spend. This way, we can have a better grasp of our finances.
