At half past five o'clock in the morning, the sky was just dawning, at the entrance of Shichuan Station of Chongqing Rail Transit Line 4, many vegetable farmers with baskets and baskets on their backs were already waiting here, and they were ready to take the first subway to sell vegetables in the city with fresh vegetables and fruits harvested in their fields.

Chinese cabbage, winter forage, oily cabbage, garlic moss, ...... Today, she plans to take 19 stops to the bonded port station, and then transfer to Line 9 to take 7 stops to sell vegetables at the Yeshuigou Farmers' Market in Guanyinqiao, Jiangbei District.
Shichuan Town is located in Yubei District, Chongqing City, forty or fifty kilometers away from the city center, before the opening of the subway, Liu Shengyu and the surrounding vegetable farmers were mostly selling vegetables in Shichuan Town, the town has limited traffic, not to mention the slow selling, the price of vegetables is also low.
In June 2022, after the opening of the second phase of Rail Transit Line 4, vegetable farmers began to take the subway to the city to sell vegetables because the price of vegetables in the urban area could be sold a little higher, and the vegetables sold quickly.
"Now I can basically sell all the vegetables by noon, and I can sell more than ten or twenty yuan a day than before. Liu Shengyu told reporters that now, she has more time to take care of her grandchildren who are in junior high school and granddaughters who are in elementary school, and the money she earns from selling vegetables can also subsidize her family.
At 6:05, the roller shutter door of the subway station slowly rose. Vegetable farmers pick up flat poles, carry back baskets, or pull up the back baskets fixed on small carts, enter the station in an orderly manner, and go through security checks in turn.
Since most of the back baskets of vegetable farmers are open, it is inconvenient to put the conveyor belt through the security inspection machine, so the subway staff bent down and used hand-held testing instruments to check the security to facilitate the passage of vegetable farmers.
After passing through the security check, the vegetable farmers still need to take the escalator to reach the platform, and seeing that some vegetable farmers have heavy baskets, the station staff always warmly walks forward, holding the baskets from behind with both hands, and slowly sends them up the escalator.
At 6:32, with the voice broadcast of a Chongqing dialect, the first subway entered the station on time in the morning.
75-year-old Liu Dunjiu leaned over and carried the basket full of potatoes, beans, lettuce and spinach on his back, strode into the carriage, found a nearby seat and sat down, and then placed the basket in the open space in front of the seat.
"I picked these vegetables yesterday afternoon, they are fresh and without pesticides, so I feel at ease to eat them, and I am ready to sell them at the farmers' market near Fusheng Station. Liu Dunjiu said happily. "The policy stipulates that the elderly over the age of 65 can take the subway for free, and not only do I not need money to take the car, but the staff will also help me move vegetables and go through the security check, which makes me feel warm in my heart. ”
Along the way, the vegetable farmers talked and laughed, or chatted about yesterday's vegetable sales, or discussed the situation of different farmers' markets, and sometimes shared some experience in growing vegetables.
Unconsciously, the subway stopped at one stop, and vegetable farmers kept getting up, greeting their familiar companions, picking up baskets, carrying baskets on their backs, and rushing to the familiar market. The baskets are full of their longing for a better life, as well as the friendliness and warmth that the city brings to them.
