Chapter 114: Trivial Routines
That's all your predecessor's doing, the wires are aging, Stationmaster Li is afraid of leakage, so he won't let us use it, just say just cover two more quilts, freeze and freeze, Zhuge Stationmaster, you solve it for us, we are all about to freeze to death, we can't compare to Stationmaster Li, he is fat, not afraid of cold, we can't!" Lao Chen was angry.
"Stationmaster Li is afraid that people will say that he doesn't need an electric heater, so he will be hard there, laugh at people, besides, it is too cold in the house, and it is easy to freeze and catch a cold when I get up at night to go to the toilet, and I was frozen several times last year. Assistant Xiao Wang said with a wry smile.
"Then why don't you renovate the wires?" Zhuge Huaizhi was very puzzled, "Can a living person still suffocate urine to death?"
"That's not to spend money and trouble, how good it is to keep the money and drink!" Lao Chen said sarcastically, now Zhuge Huaizhi knew it.
That night, Zhuge Huaizhi wrote a report on the repair of the wires in the rest room, and the next day off, he handed over the report to the trade union, and made a report to the chairman of the trade union in person, Chairman Gao was very supportive, and signed and approved the funds on the spot, and the special funds were used for wire repair.
After returning to the station, Zhuge Huaizhi immediately contacted Sun Linggong of the housing construction section to replace the wires for the two repair rooms of the station, which not only ensured the safety of electricity, but also solved the heating problem of the workers on duty, and solved this old difficulty.
After a period of time, when inspecting the station environment, Zhuge Huaizhi found that the drainage ditches on both sides of the station line were missing a lot of covers, and the assistant attendant went out to work at night and was very prone to personal injury.
Zhuge Huaizhi immediately contacted the work area for renovation, all of which were supplemented with these missing covers, to ensure personal safety, the employees of the station said that these covers have been missing for a year or two, the previous leaders never cared about these, nothing will shout bear people, the vital interests of the employees have never cared, Zhuge stationmaster is really a good person!
Zhuge Huaizhi felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, as the head of a station, isn't it within his duty to pay attention to the vital interests of the workers? He just did this little bit of work, how did it become like a kindness, it can be seen that bureaucracy kills people!
At the same time, Zhuge Huaizhi learned that there was an old worker living in the single dormitory of the station, and the unit gave him a house in the railway area in the city, but he did not live in it, but rented it out to earn rent, and took his wife to rely on the single dormitory in the station, occupying three houses, and using the station's water and electricity for free.
It doesn't matter if you live, this old worker is in his fifties, he can neither drive nor ride a motorcycle, he is more than 50 kilometers away from the city to the Red Cross Station, and commuting to work every day is a problem, his wife is not in good health, he lives on the station together, and he takes care of each other.
It is said that in previous years, the old employee invited the stationmaster Li to drink twice, and the water and electricity bills were all recorded in the cost of the station.
Zhuge Huaizhi asked people to count the amount of arrears of water and electricity bills in recent years, bought fruits and went to the old worker's house to sit down, "Teacher Yan, I'll come to see Auntie." ”
As soon as he entered the door, Zhuge Huaizhi found that Mr. Yan's home was full of electrical appliances, not only a large refrigerator, but also a freezer.
"Teacher Yan, how is it? Auntie's health is okay recently?" Zhuge Huaizhi asked about Teacher Yan's wife's situation with concern.
The old lady was sitting next to the electric heater knitting a sweater, looking in good spirits, "Oh, there is nothing wrong with her, she usually has high blood pressure, and when she is not sick, she is like a normal person, she is afraid of getting angry and tired!"
Zhuge Huaizhi learned that Mr. Yan's two sons and daughters have participated in the work and have their own houses in the city, so there is no reason to owe the station's water and electricity bills.
"Teacher Yan, how many years do you have to retire? You see that you live here, your home is not like home, and it is not convenient for the children to come to see your old couple, you are really working too hard for work!" Zhuge Huaizhi said with a smile.
"I'll retire in two years!" Lao Yan was shocked, could it be that this new stationmaster wanted to drive me away?" "Actually, it's good for me to live here, the air in the barren mountains and wilderness is good, and I have also opened a crop field on the wasteland outside the station! I don't need to buy vegetables in all seasons, they are all pollution-free! I don't want to go back to the city to live, I'm used to living here!"
"Teacher Yan, no matter how good it is here, it's not home after all! Besides, it's far away from the city, it's not convenient to see a doctor, my aunt is not in good health, it's more convenient to live in our railway community, and the railway hospital is opposite, and your health is guaranteed!"
"Zhuge Stationmaster, are you going to drive me away?" Lao Yan couldn't hold his breath, he lived in a free house, the water and electricity were all public, his house could be rented for seven or eight hundred yuan a month, and it was 10,000 yuan a year, and he didn't want to leave here before he retired!
"Teacher Yan, I didn't mean that, don't be afraid, it's inconvenient to go to work when you're old, although you live here with your family, many employees have opinions, but I told them, you can live there until you retire!" Zhuge Huaizhi smiled.
"That's good! That's good!" Lao Yan calculated in his heart, two years before retirement, the rent of 20,000 yuan was in hand again.
"However, I heard that you haven't paid your water and electricity bills in the past few years, I'm afraid that someone will report it, and I will ...... it when the time comes" Zhuge Huaizhi stopped when he wanted to speak.
"I'll pay! I'll pay!" Lao Yan thought in his heart, he couldn't lose a big one because of a small one!
Zhuge Huaizhi returned to the station and immediately found someone to inform him to pay the arrears of water and electricity bills at the station, and stipulated that he would pay the fees once every two months in the future, and he could not be in arrears anymore.
Lao Yan knew that he was at a loss, and the water and electricity bills accumulated in the past few years were more than 2,000 yuan, which made him a little painful, but when he heard that this new stationmaster didn't like to drink, didn't smoke, and had no bad habits, Lao Yan had no way to start, so he had to obediently pay the fee!
Before the Chinese New Year, Zhuge Huaizhi also went to visit the employee who was on sick leave all year round with the chairman of the station ward, his family lived in a dilapidated community, Zhuge Huaizhi climbed up to the sixth floor panting with the condolences they bought, and knocked on the door for a long time, and a middle-aged man described as withered opened the door.
This worker named Xiao Zhang, although only 35 years old, but under the torture of perennial illness, he looks older than 53 years old, it is said that his family has a highly hereditary intestinal disease, his parents and siblings have died because of this illness, his wife can't bear it and divorced him, and left with the child.
Xiao Zhang lives alone in this old community, because of his weak body he does not go downstairs all the year round, are a few kind neighbors to buy food for him to send upstairs, Xiao Zhang's mood is very pessimistic, in his words, he is just slowly struggling to live.
Zhuge Huaizhi handed him the condolences and benefits during the New Year's holidays, and comforted him softly: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, you must not be pessimistic, now that our country's medical technology is developing rapidly, although your disease is difficult to treat, there is hope that cancer can be cured, not to mention that your disease does not belong to cancer, you must have confidence in yourself, persistence is victory, sooner or later there will be a way to cure it!"
Zhuge Huaizhi's words encouraged Xiao Zhang, he was very moved, and said excitedly: "Stationmaster! Hearing you say this, I feel that there is hope again, I have to live well, and one day I will go to visit my son! I heard that he is already in junior high school!"
Coming out of Xiao Zhang's house, Zhuge Huaizhi sighed in his heart, life is impermanent, we must take advantage of our health, work and live well, and cherish the good days!
The days went by in trivial matters.
