Great cold is the last of the twenty-four solar terms, the big cold is the same as the small cold, indicating the degree of coldness of the weather, the big cold is also the meaning of the weather cold to the extreme. The great cold comes at the end of the year, winter goes to spring, and once the great cold passes, a new cycle begins. At the end of the cold winter, there is such an ordinary group of laborers, who have warmed the whole winter with their perseverance.
Recently, the cooling, snowy weather hit, Hecheng also opened the "quick-freezing mode", on cold days, the most pleasant thing is to hold a cup of hot tea, three or five relatives and friends around the stove nagging homely. However, there is such a group of people in the city, who are not afraid of the cold, ice and snow, and always stick to their posts...
Sanitation work begins in the early hours of the morning
At more than -20 degrees Celsius, Xu Li and her co-workers cleaned the area of responsibility.
On January 19, the temperature in the city dropped to -25°C, and sanitation workers dressed in green began to work.
Xu Li, a sanitation worker at the Wulong Sanitation Department in Longsha District, said: "Every day I get up at 3:30 a.m., after washing, I have to go to my work area at 4:00 a.m. to start cleaning. In the area that Xu Li had swept, she skillfully used a broom to push the residual snow on the ground, and although her face was frozen red, her forehead was steaming. At 7 a.m., after 3 hours of cleaning, she had finished cleaning the area of responsibility.
At this time, the flow of people and traffic on the street also began to increase, and when many people began to embrace this new day, Xu Li had been working silently in her post for three or four hours.
As sanitation workers, they work at least 8 hours a day, arrive at work in the early hours of the morning to start cleaning, and then patrol the area they are responsible for. For working in the cold winter, sanitation workers seem to have long been accustomed to, in their view, do their own work, ensure that the area of responsibility is clean and tidy, satisfied, tired, frozen points are also no regrets. In the cold winter, the vast number of sanitation workers are like a beating green flame, not afraid of the cold, sticking to their posts, and paying hardships that are difficult for others to understand for the cleanliness and beauty of the city.
Patrolling the wells to ensure that there is no waiting for idleness
The staff stood in the narrow valve well, bending down a little bit to knock the ice surface with tools.
For each well, it takes half an hour to clear the ice, and in the outdoors where the temperature is -27 °C, Lin Changbao, captain of the equipment maintenance team of the Qiqihar Port Hua Gas Pipeline Network Center, and Liang Shuo, the inspector, went straight to the valve well No. 99 Longsha Road, skillfully operated the steel hook hook to lift the manhole cover, and checked the situation inside the well. Lin Changbao introduced while inspecting, like this underground environment is better, they only need to routinely check once within 48 hours, pay attention to the water level of the well, in order to prevent its water level is too high and freeze again, such as ice is not cleaned up in time, it will affect the tension of the pipeline, resulting in gas leakage in the well.
"The thickness of the frozen ice in this valve well is 3 centimeters, which is not too thick, it can only be considered moderate." Lin Changbao said. In winter, in order to keep out the cold, everyone usually wears two sweaters, a warm underwear, a vest, a work coat, plus a thick coat, a total of six. Every day, more than 10 valve wells were inspected, and after staying outside for a long time, they were still freezing, so they had to change shifts and return to the car to warm up first, and then come back to dry. The Spring Festival is approaching, no matter how cold the weather is, we must ensure a safe gas supply during the Spring Festival and strictly investigate all hidden dangers.
The "patron saint" of crossing safety
"The K7093 train is approaching, pay attention to the closing pole." "The mouth understands." At 23:40 on the night of January 16, the road crossing officers An Jing and Zhang Fanhu were eating the night shift meal, when the alarm at the entrance suddenly sounded, they picked up the cotton coat hanging next to the stove, walked quickly out of the entrance room, and closed the railing door. An Jing is the only female taoist in the Qiqihar works section, and her co-worker is her husband Zhang Fanhu. Three years ago, the couple came to the 52-kilometer crossing of the Funen Line, which became their second home. Near the crossing is the sugar factory, alcohol factory and other enterprises in and out of the only way, because the crossing road is narrow, large trucks can not pass in parallel, after the train passes the crossing, the husband and wife also have to guide the truck, so that it can quickly pass through the crossing.
At 23:43, the train passed on time. The sky also drifted snowflakes at this time, after the railing door was opened, after the truck passed in an orderly manner, An Jing and Zhang Fanhu did not return to the crossing room, but picked up brooms to sweep the sides of the crossing. Two minutes later, another train full of goods sped by, bringing up snowflakes and dust that could not open their eyes, standing outside for more than half an hour, their eyelashes and masks covered with frost. Stomping on the floating snow on the surface of their feet, they quickly drilled into the crossing room, and after years of work at the crossing, AnJing gradually adapted to and got used to the environment full of dust and coal ash, and also learned to cook with a stove.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no train passing by, the two quickly ate their meals and talked. An Jing looked at the passing vehicles outside the window and said to Zhang Fanhu: "It's the Spring Festival soon, we both have to guard the crossing well, so that everyone can have a good year in peace and security." "The north wind whistles outside the crossing room, and the warmth in the crossing room is as warm as spring." The charcoal fire in the stove made a crackling sound from time to time, like the sound of firecrackers greeting the New Year, and An Jing and Zhang Fanhu sat hand in hand in front of the window waiting for the next pick-up order on the intercom.
