Is it because winter is coming? I feel that recently I can always meet some Didi drivers with stories, others are drinking and cooking dramas at home on rainy days, but I am listening to stories in the overtime car.
Today, as usual, I worked overtime until close to nine o'clock, and my husband had no time to pick me up because he went to the hospital to see his grandmother, so he had to take a taxi by himself. After getting on the bus, Master Didi said that recently he felt that more and more people in our park were working overtime, and he would now go to wait for the list every night. I said that maybe it is because the double eleven is coming, everyone has to rush the performance in the second half of the year, the master said that the young people are still hard now, I smiled and replied: "You are still running a car outside at night, and it is also very hard." ”
I thought that everyone was a hard worker, but the clown was myself! The master told me that he only went out after dinner, because he was too bored to be idle at home, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he came out and ran Didi, and if he met a passenger who liked to chat, the time would pass faster. The master said that his age (probably nearly 60 years old), not to make money, mainly to kill time, to find something for himself to do.
The driver master in the back told me a lot about his experience, which made me think that this person is still very admirable. The master did not study at the age of 15 or so, and went directly to become a carpentry apprentice. Because my family was relatively poor at that time, I was bent on earning money, so I worked very hard. Fortunately, after two or three years, he became famous, and many people came to him to make cabinets and do various carpentry. But this kind of life is not satisfied for a young man, so when he was 18 years old, the master used his savings to start a timber business, the business was doing very well, and then he began to do the construction business, the market was very good in those years, and then made a lot of money.
This is probably a history of the master's fortune, but the master said that no one can always have a smooth ride, perhaps because he started too smoothly at the beginning, so all kinds of unfortunate things fell on his head.
In 2008, the master lost a lot of money because of the investment failure and the financial crisis at that time. His wife was diagnosed with cancer and left after two years of treatment. This experience should still be very difficult, but the master just took a few simple words, saying that he later made a comeback in business, but now the child has his own family. He had never thought about getting married again, but now that he was older, he would always feel bored alone and wanted to talk to someone, but he couldn't always disturb his children's lives. So, now he will come out and run Didi when he is free.
The master said that he did not have to chat with the passengers, for example, now he often receives people who come home late from overtime, usually after getting on the bus, he will close his eyes and rest, he will not bother, just drive quietly. The master thinks this is also very good, the car is isolated from the noise of the outside world, the car is quiet, he sends strangers a distance, strangers accompany him for a distance. It's good to meet two people who like to chat with him, tell him about their experiences, and listen to other people's stories.
When I finally got out of the car, the master's words broke through me, and he said, "Thank you for chatting with me." "A person has been wandering for most of his life, and in the back field of life, the master has already regarded it as very plain. This is the way the world is, and I was born lonely, but I am glad that my family is still with me.
