People who get up at three in the morning to work

On November 27, 2020, I read an article "Accident, on the street after five o'clock in the morning" on a friend's public account "a Yanxian", which was about the author getting up early in the morning to deliver My daughter, who was a little moody the night before, went to study. She wanted her to experience the hardships of the world, the cruelty of reality, and the difficulty of life.

Along the way, they met sanitation workers who got up early, mutton soup and beef soup restaurants that opened early to welcome customers, customers who rushed to do errands after drinking soup, taxi drivers who got up early to solicit customers, and people who got up early to get customers. Students who are accompanied by their parents or go to school together!

——These were all anticipated by the author! Surprisingly, in front of a temporary traffic light, a minivan driver who was waiting for the red light for tens of seconds actually dozed off!

After reading this article, my heart felt like water was still, calm and calm! ——Except the driver who dozed off at the traffic light. Because we ourselves are part of the street scene at five o'clock in the morning! In order to rush to the vocational education center in Xincheng West District for morning reading, the author got up at 5:30 in the morning, rain or shine, four days a week, and rushed to the No. 2 morning bus stop before 5:50 to catch the bus! What the author sees once in a while when he wakes up early, I see at least 4 times a week!

But this is not the focus of this article.

The morning before yesterday, I didn’t study early. I got up at 6:10 and rushed to the bun shop on the west side of the south end of Cross Street at 6:20 to buy buns. When I passed by the noodle shop on the east side across the road, I was stunned by the scene in front of me!

There is only one store, but on the platform facing the street outside the store, there are countless large and small flour bags, either one bag or two bags stacked together! As we often say: There’s not even a place to put your feet!

Seeing this scene from a distance, I wondered: Why did the noodle seller put so many noodles in plastic bags outside the door? When I got there, I realized that there were bags of noodles ready for customers to pick up!

While secretly sighing that the business of this noodle shop is really good, I was thinking about another question: just after six o'clock, this shop owner rolled so many noodles. What time do they get up at night? ? !

When we entered the Baozi shop, it was also a Baozi shop with only one store. Only the owner and his wife were busy - I don’t know when they started working here! In my impression, they are busy here morning and night: the boss sits behind the chopping board and is responsible for making buns and collecting money; the wife of the boss stands in front of the stove watching the pots, packing buns and buns, and also collects money.

A steaming pot of steamed buns was waiting to be cooked. It was a little underheated, so I waited for a minute or two. At this moment, I asked the question that arose in front of the noodle shop:

"What time do you get up in the morning?"

"Three o'clock!"

"Are you getting up so early?"

"The main thing is that I have to support other people's supermarkets. I have to do it for them first every morning. I have already sent them away!"

......

After hearing these words, I remembered the breakfast shop at the entrance of the old campus. Every morning at 5:30 when I go out to catch my car, their store is already buzzing with heat and customers are arriving! Come to think of it, they should have gotten up around three o'clock!

Think about it carefully, it’s not just these people who get up at three in the morning! In factory workshops, deep underground in mines, on guard posts... people who work and are on duty in special positions in these special environments have not been able to even get a good night's sleep all year round. They may be more sleepy than at three o'clock in the morning. People who get up work harder, are more tired and more difficult!

Since last year, due to the sudden impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the downward pressure on the economy has continued to increase. Factories have stopped working or even gone bankrupt, shops have closed or even closed down, and wages have been reduced or even unemployment. Needless to say, this has happened from time to time. !

However, this situation should be only a very small and extremely local situation.

The resumption of work and production, tax and fee reductions, and the implementation of various favorable and positive policies and measures have made China's economy one of the few in the world, and a very few still maintain a positive growth trend!

This is inseparable from the busy people walking on the streets at five in the morning! Inseparable from people who get up at three in the morning to work hard! It is inseparable from people who work three shifts for many years, even non-stop!
