In recent days, after dinner after work, I will go to the construction site near the outside of the community to hang out. #Winter Life Punch Card Season##Part-time Story##上海 #
Hello everyone, I am 55 years old this year, my wife and children came to Shanghai from our rural hometown in order to take care of our granddaughter.
In order to reduce the burden on the children, now I work as a security guard in the community, more than 5,000 yuan a month.
Looking at the crowded road, there are occasionally a few migrant workers riding small yellow cars through.
Outside the construction site, several workers are sitting in the shed of a stall vendor eating dinner.
They also had a busy day, and didn't have this free time until the evening to sit down to eat and drink a little wine.
One of the tables, I saw that the meal they had was simple, two people each with a large bowl of stewed noodles, two bottles of beer, and a plate of peanut rice on the table.
Two people should have just sat down, and one of them had just put a hard hat on the table.
I know that they are like me, they are all people who work outside the home, they are all people who are running around for their lives.
I listened to them over there eating peanut rice and taking a sip of beer.
Although the weather was a little cold, it still did not stop them from drinking beer.
One of them said that it is about to be the New Year, it is more than a month, and this year has not made much money, but it is much better than last year, and it should be able to have a good year.
The other said, I came out a month later than you, than to earn ten thousand dollars less! When the time comes, we will go back together and come back together after the New Year!
One said, go back to the family to buy some clothes when the time comes, and make them happy!
One said, the baby tuition next year is not worried, or to earn money ah!
The two of them talked for ten minutes, and I stood silently on the side for about ten minutes.
Actually, I can understand their feelings.
As a man in the family, earning money is a must.
This sentence, I understand a little late.
It turned out that I worked at home, and on average, I was one or two thousand yuan a month.
And now, I work as a security guard in this neighborhood in Shanghai, and I can get more than 5,000 yuan a month.
However, it is hard, it is always very hard.
These migrant worker brothers who go out to work are even harder.
They leave their homes and come to the big cities from other places, working the construction sites, and the money they earn is sent home.
Although it is a big city in Shanghai, everything in this big city seems to have nothing to do with them.
Usually, I have not seen them in the community, and I can only see them outside the construction site at night.
The community I live in now, a one-room house, the rent is also more than 2,000 yuan, and the brothers of migrant workers are naturally reluctant to rent a house to live outside.
If it weren't for the fact that my son had a house, I wouldn't have been able to afford a house in Shanghai.
Although there are more than 5,000 wages a month, if you remove the rent, water, electricity and coal, you will have a maximum of 2,000 yuan a month, plus food and so on, and you can't save money at all.
Don't we come out to work just to save money?
Therefore, even if there is more suffering, we can eat it, because behind us is the needs of a family and the hope of a family.
Later, when I came back, the two brothers were still eating over there, and they should have gone back to the centralized dormitory on the construction site after eating, and I don't know when I will meet them again.
When I go out, I hope they can be safe and secure, and I hope that all the brothers who work outside the home can go well and earn money to go home for a happy year!
Old Road Afterword:
It is not easy for parents from other places to come to live in big cities, on the one hand, they have to take care of their grandchildren, and on the other hand, they go out to work and earn money.
There must be a lot of interesting, sad, and realistic stories in it, and Lao Dao will communicate with this friend every day and is willing to share his story with everyone every day.
