Chapter 14 The Glorious Sanitation Worker

On the third day of the first lunar month, at more than two o'clock in the morning, Bi Dafa led me to appear at the garbage removal site in the northern suburbs of the county.

This garbage removal yard is responsible for cleaning up more than 50% of the county's garbage, and is the largest garbage removal yard in the county.

At this time, the garbage removal yard can be described as a car coming and going, not the kind of large freight garbage trucks, but a lot of sanitation workers pushing and pulling garbage BMX trucks in and out.

If I hadn't come to the garbage removal site today, I would never have known that so much garbage would be generated in the county during the Spring Festival, and this thousands of tons of garbage would be cleaned up by truckloads of garbage by these ordinary and hard-working sanitation workers, like moving ants, and then returning to the garbage removal site with a truckload full of garbage.

Looking at the busy sanitation workers, at that moment, I couldn't say how moved that it was this group of ordinary and lovely working people, who gave us a clean urban and rural environment with their sweat when the residents were still asleep.

I thank them from the bottom of my heart!

At that moment, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart, feeling that there is no such thing in this world, but many people don't know that under this quiet peace, there are tens of thousands of people working hard to create a prosperous era that belongs to the common people.

"Alas!"

He pointed to the sanitation workers who were walking back to the city with empty cars, and sighed: "They have been cleaning and carrying garbage like this all their lives, and almost no one has ever slept peacefully, but they are treated as despised on the streets with the lowest wage." ”

I sighed, didn't wait for me to speak, Bi Da said: "Before my mother died, she was a glorious sanitation worker, when she died, she took my hand and told me that son, no matter at any time, you are not allowed to look down on sanitation workers, because you are the son of sanitation workers!" ”

My heart suddenly soured, this was the first time I heard Bi Da talk about his mother, it turned out that his mother was also a glorious sanitation worker.

Immersively looking at the busy sanitation workers in front of me, hearing Bi Dafa's words, I emerged with a feeling that I had never felt before, that is, when Bi Dafa talked about his mother, he was so proud, because he was the son of a sanitation worker!

"Chu Siqi!"

Bi Da looked at me with a straight chest, smiled at me and said, "My mother has always been an excellent worker in the unit, and the streets she has cleaned all her life can go around our province three times together; She's cleaned up millions of tons of garbage, can you believe it? ”

I hurriedly nodded and said that there was no reason not to believe it, I patted Bi Fa on the shoulder and praised: "Your mother is good, and I am proud of her!" ”

Bi Da nodded gratefully at me and hummed heavily, but suddenly a tear flowed from his eyes that were ruddy.

"Why?" I hurriedly patted Bi Fa on the shoulder, knowing that he was hurt by the scene, and he must have thought of his deceased mother, and while I was comforting him, I also thought of my mother.

I don't know, my mother has been running away for so many years, is she dead or alive now?

If she was alive, would she ever think of me someday?

"It's fine!"

Bi Da turned his head to wipe away the tears, and then changed the conversation and asked me, do you know why he came here in the middle of the night?

I shook my head to say I didn't know, but Bi Dafa pointed to the back of the garbage removal site and told me that there was a seventy-year-old sanitation worker living there, who was his mother's master, Grandpa Han.

"Oh, you want to pay a New Year's greeting to your aunt's master, right?" I asked.

"New Year's greetings are certain, but I want to come back at dawn." Bi Fa's expression sank suddenly, and he said loudly: "But I can't wait, because just now, Grandpa Han's granddaughter called and told me that Grandpa Han is such a good old man, and he was beaten by someone!" ”

What's going on?

I immediately became angry, a sanitation worker in his seventies, and someone else could do it?

"The guy who hit people is simply scum!" Bi Da gritted his teeth viciously and said: "This kind of scumbag, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, I have to find justice for Grandpa Han." ”

It's a must!

I immediately agreed, and followed closely behind Bi Da.

It wasn't long before the two of us came to the back of the garbage removal site, where a row of brick houses had been built for sanitation workers who did not live in the county.

The low tiled house, with the smell of garbage, is filled with the smell of cooking.

At two or three o'clock in the morning, the sanitation workers have to make breakfast, maybe supper, and no one cares what kind of poor life they live, and how they are looked down upon and bullied.

"Grandpa Han, it's me, Xiao Bi!"

Bi Da Da knocked on one of the brick houses with the door closed, and I saw a red Spring Festival couplet pasted on the door, and a red lantern was hung, highlighting the area, which still has a hint of the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Ahem......

In the room, there was an elderly coughing voice: "It's Xiao Bi ......"

Then, the door opened, and an emaciated old man appeared in my sight, hunched over and coughing as the night breeze blew outside.

"Grandpa Han, come into the house and say."

Bi Da Da led the old man into the house, and I followed in, and found that the room was less than ten square meters, with only two beds, a table that had long been eliminated by the residents of the city, and a few small blackened wooden stools.

A gust of wind blew in, and a strong smell of dampness suddenly rose in the room, accompanied by the smell of Chinese medicine boiling.

I followed the smell of medicine and saw that in the corner of the far left, on a small coal-burning stove, Chinese medicine was boiling, which should be the decoction boiled by Grandpa Han's injury.

"!"

I heard a slightly immature female voice coming, and when I looked closely, I noticed that on the small bed in the room, a girl with pigtails was huddled in the bed, covering her body with the old quilt, and only one head was showing that she was looking at me.

She asked Bi Fa uneasily: "Who is this strange brother?" ”

Bi Dada helped Grandpa Han to the bed and sat down, and then he pulled me to the front and introduced Grandpa Han and the little girl: "This is Chu Siqi, my junior high school classmate, a very good friend." ”

I immediately said hello to Grandpa Han and the little girl, and Bi Dafa pointed to the little girl who was a little afraid of me, and told me that her name was Han Qian, less than ten years old, and she was afraid of a girl.

After the introduction, Bi Dafa took out a red envelope from his trouser pocket, which was the item he took out from under the pillow at home, he held the red envelope in both hands, and handed it to Grandpa Han with respect, saying that this was his intention as a gift for the New Year, and he must let Grandpa Han accept it.

Grandpa Han refused at first, but Bi Dafa said it for a while before Grandpa Han accepted it embarrassedly, and he turned around and took out a black bag from his bed.

Then, Grandpa Han opened the bag, revealing something wrapped in kraft paper, and he gradually opened the three layers of kraft paper inside and outside, and it took nearly a minute to reveal a few large red bills and some change.

Without thinking about it, Grandpa Han took out two crumpled hundred-yuan bills, handed one to Bi Dada, and handed the other to me, saying that this is the New Year's money, and I wish us academic progress, so we must take it.

The two of us hurriedly refused, just watching the process of Grandpa Han peeling off the kraft paper, and the two of us couldn't bear to accept the money, just accept Grandpa Han's wishes.

After holding on for a while, Grandpa Han saw that we were killed and refused, so he had no choice but to give up, coughing and asking Han Qian: "Qianqian, did you call your brother to come?" It's so late, and you're not afraid to disturb people's rest? ”

The words are full of rebuke and accountability.

Han Qian glanced at her grandfather uneasily, she suddenly jumped from her small bed to Grandpa Han's bed like crazy, and suddenly pulled open the cotton clothes that Grandpa Han was wrapping.

"Woo ......"

Han Qian cried, pointed to Grandpa Han's chest that he didn't have time to cover, and cried to the two of us: "Brother, look at my grandfather's chest, woo, he was beaten like this by that person......"

Under the light, Bi Dafa and I could see very clearly, Grandpa Han, who was already emaciated, had a clear dredging on his chest, and an obvious footprint was stepped on in the rib cage, which was congested and red, you can imagine how much effort it took to step on Grandpa Han.

"Don't look!"

Grandpa Han was like an electric shock, his old and weak body shook, he quickly pulled up his cotton clothes to cover it, and caused another round of coughing due to the violent movements.

Han Qian cried and beat her grandfather's back, her tears were like steel knives piercing the hearts of the two of us.

"Grass Trample Mad!"

Bi Dada's anger rose, he held back his tears with red eyes, only Bi Dada, who was also a family member of a sanitation worker, knew how much humiliation Grandpa Han had suffered.

"Brute!"

I also gritted my teeth with righteous indignation, even if Grandpa Han is not a sanitation worker, as an elderly man in his seventies, a person who can do such a ruthless treatment to him is more than a beast.

Walk!

I distinctly heard Bi Da gritting his teeth, he said a word to me, turned his head and walked out of the house.

I know what Bi Dafa is going to do, he definitely wants to find the person who beat Grandpa Han desperately, in his heart, Grandpa Han is not only his mother's master, but also an inviolable glorious sanitation worker in his mind!

Well!

I nodded vigorously, and when I got out of the house, I grabbed the iron clip at the door of Grandpa Han's house while he hadn't returned to his senses.

This kind of iron clamp, which is specially used to clamp honeycomb coal, is about 50 centimeters long, and has two tips in the front, just like a high-end version of scissors.

Wait a minute, I'm going to use this 'big scissors' to make the person who beat Grandpa Han pay the price, after today's re-understanding of sanitation workers, I want to make that guy understand, sanitation workers, he can't afford to mess with!
