In modern times, some people still pick up things on the road, including unwanted potatoes in the field. One of them picked up a lot of potatoes in the shape of a heart. Others picked up the grapes on the roadside and the figs on the trees.

Some people really have no money to buy food, and they pick up food to feed their stomachs. In fact, this is a kind of resource saving behavior, and they make use of the food or items that they do not need.

But some people also like to pick up things, especially some artists inside, reuse the items that have had an experience or history.
