Chapter 107: Why don't you help?
In Jiangzhou City at night, even though there is no moon and stars in the sky tonight, colorful neon signs are hung everywhere on the street, which still decorates the city with brilliance.
The men and women on the streets are laughing and playing, and their colorful nightlife mode has just begun.
The streets and alleys are full of delicious snacks and specialties for guests to choose from.
A cold drink and a snack on the go is undoubtedly the most relaxing way to shop on a summer night.
But has anyone ever wondered where all the empty bags and bottles in your hands go when you're full of food and drink?
Someone has made a statistic that an ordinary person in a big city produces about 1.2 kilograms of household garbage every day!
A three-kilometre-long street with a total of 12 garbage cans installed on both sides of the road, and the total amount of garbage that is swept out and removed every day is about two tons. That's the amount of work that a sanitation worker has to do every day.
Day after day, year after year. Every inch of this three-kilometer-long street is covered with the footprints and sweat of the Luo Lanjun. He used his own hands in exchange for the neatness and cleanliness of the whole street.
This afternoon, Luo Lanjun took advantage of the opportunity between work and secretly went to look for Luo Qingyang near his son's school. But he was just a little lazy, and the cleanliness of the street immediately dropped significantly.
This decline is terrible, and I don't know which enthusiastic people immediately called the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, which caused everyone from the director to Luo Lanjun to be criticized.
Luo Lanjun was forced by the director and had to come back overnight to work overtime. When he came to the corner of the street, he saw that the road was indeed a little indescribable today, and there were garbage bags and confetti that were discarded at random everywhere, which were blown by the wind and scattered in all directions, causing passers-by to avoid them.
If you don't finish the work on the street today, you will have to continue to do it tomorrow. Luo Lanjun looked at the situation on the road, rolled up his sleeves without saying a word, picked up the broom and began to sweep the street.
In fact, if sanitation workers usually sweep the streets, they will generally stagger the peak flow of people, and the dust raised by sweeping the floor is easy to contaminate passers-by and annoy people.
Second, the pedestrians on the street come and go on this road, you wave a broom in case you accidentally sweep someone's house, if you meet a good talker, it's good, if you meet a bad talker, then you can find yourself to be scolded.
Today, he was ruthlessly said by the director, and if he didn't clean up the work, he would be hanging, and Luo Lanjun couldn't scruple so much, so he swept it hard.
As a result, he swept less than 200 meters, and sure enough, he accidentally had an accident.
Located on the corner of the street, this lo-mei shop does surprisingly good business every night, and their spicy duck neck and pickled pepper duck feet are unique and unique. Every evening, many diners come to the restaurant, and a long line is formed in front of the restaurant.
When Luo Lanjun cleaned the door of this lo-mei shop, he provoked a middle-aged woman with a short figure, curly hair, and a dress that was completely out of touch with the times.
"Hey, hey, hey! I said you're sweeping the floor, are you blind? You sweep the dirty garbage on the floor on my feet! If you get my newly bought shoes dirty, can you afford to accompany them!?"
The woman who spoke, standing in the queue at the entrance of the lo-mei shop, should be a customer who came to buy duck neck. She crossed her hands in front of her chest, the whites of her eyes rolled higher than the sky, and in a brutal tone, one mouth occupied the initiative on the scene.
Just now, when Luo Lanjun was just cleaning, a plastic bag was accidentally blown by the wind to the woman's feet, and he didn't have time to say sorry, he was already robbed by the woman.
Luo Lanjun smacked his mouth, and held back a sentence for a long time: "I'm sorry." He has encountered this kind of thing before, and he must not deal with such a woman, the more he takes care of her, the more energetic she becomes.
"What do you mean by being embarrassed! What are you doing with your eyes, don't you know how to sweep the floor and look at some people? There are so many people standing in line here, you come here to sweep the floor, and there is dust everywhere! I think you did it on purpose!"
The middle-aged woman's two thin lips closed one by one like a full-fledged machine gun, and she fired at Luo Lanjun in one go, arguing and splashing She asked herself if she had never met an opponent, anyway, it is boring to queue up here now, so just take this sweeping practice.
The diners queuing up on the side looked sideways at the good show in front of them, and a few kind guests also opened their mouths to persuade the middle-aged woman: "Forget it, forget it, it's not easy for other sanitation workers, you see what time it is and you haven't gotten off work yet." ”
As soon as the woman heard that someone had helped Luo Lanjun, her eyes immediately widened, and her voice rose several decibels: "What do you mean it's not easy for him, then it's easy for me? I'm standing here in line to provoke someone, and sweep the garbage to my feet! Why don't you help, I can't be reasonable, right?"
The woman's loud scolding made the already crowded entrance of the lo-mei shop even more congested, and the crowd spontaneously formed a circle, surrounding Luo Lanjun and the woman in the center of the circle.
Luo Lanjun was powerless in the face of the middle-aged woman like a dominatrix, an old face full of wrinkles was counted by the woman as if it was burning, if it weren't for his dark complexion, I'm afraid his cheeks at this moment would be even more eye-catching than a neon sign.
At this moment, a young man stood in the crowd of onlookers, wearing a white shirt, a pair of jeans underneath, and a pair of large black-rimmed glasses stuck in his face.
Holding a mobile phone in his hand, he walked over to the foaming eldest sister, and opened his mouth to ask: "Eldest sister, I am Lin Kaijun, a reporter from the Metropolis News Daily, and I am doing a street interview, can I interview you?"
"Ahh As soon as the middle-aged woman heard that the reporter was going to interview her, this was a rare thing in 800 years. Hurriedly straightened his clothes, brushed his hair, and stared at the mobile phone lens in the reporter's hand, for fear that he would miss the opportunity to be in the newspaper.
Lin Kaijun smiled and asked, "Eldest sister, can you recite the twenty-four words of core values?"
When the middle-aged woman heard that this was an interview, she immediately smiled and said: "Hehe, comrade reporter, this time you are really asking the right person for me, the leaders of our unit have asked us to memorize this all day long, and I have already memorized it well." Listen ha. ”
The middle-aged woman cleared her throat and recited skillfully like a tongue twister: "The core values are - prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness." What's going on, isn't it?"
Lin Kaijun put down the camera in his hand and smiled coldly: "Eldest sister, you have a good back." But do you think your behavior is worthy of the words 'civilized' and 'friendly'?"
As soon as the middle-aged woman heard this, her face immediately collapsed, and her expression of laughing or crying was really a little unbearable.
Unexpectedly, the reporter who suddenly appeared was waiting for her here, and the middle-aged woman rushed out of the encirclement of the crowd with a shy face, and didn't even buy lo-mei.
Seeing that someone had relieved the siege, Luo Lanjun nodded at the young reporter. He continued to lower his head, and reached out with a broom to pull the naughty plastic bag over.
He swept the street under his feet without saying a word, if he wanted to say this core value, Luo Lanjun couldn't recite it, he only knew that if he didn't sweep the street tonight, his job might not be saved tomorrow.
The more he tried to sweep it, the more chaotic it became, and an empty drink bottle on the side of the road was blown by the wind, and Gollum rolled down the sidewalk onto the roadway.
Luo Lanjun leaned over and chased the drink bottle to the road, and at the moment when he bent down to pick up the bottle, he saw a red car rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye!
