**Perseverance under the scorching sun**
On this hot summer day, the sun scorched the earth like a fireball, as if every inch of the land was crying out "hot". In such a hot weather, most people choose to stay indoors and enjoy the coolness of the air conditioning, but there is a group of people who have to work hard under the scorching sun every day, and they are our construction workers.
My name is Li Jianguo, I am 45 years old and I come from an ordinary rural family. Due to my family's limited financial resources, after graduating from junior high school, I went out to work with the village construction team and became a construction worker. Although the work is hard, every time I see the high-rise buildings that I have participated in the construction of the ground, I always feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart.
**Revelation of Ice Water**
Today, as usual, I arrived at the construction site early. The sun was already high and the air was filled with billowing heat. My co-workers and I started the day. Because the weather was so hot, it didn't take long for our clothes to be soaked with sweat.
In between breaks, I took out my phone and looked at the weather forecast, and today's maximum temperature reached 40 degrees! I thought to myself, "How can I stand such a hot day!" At this time, I saw a large freezer at the entrance of the commissary not far away, which contained all kinds of cold drinks and mineral water. It occurred to me that if I could buy a frozen bottle of mineral water, it would definitely cool me down.
So, I walked briskly to the commissary and bought a frozen bottle of mineral water. When I opened the cap, I was greeted by a cool breath that made me feel refreshed. I put the mineral water on my chest and let its coldness pass through my clothes, and it was a great feeling!
**Companionship of Ice Water**
However, the good times were short-lived. It didn't take long for me to notice that the frozen bottle of mineral water was slowly melting and its coldness was waning. I thought to myself, "This can't go on like this, I've got to find a way to keep this bottle of water cool for me." ”
At this time, I suddenly came up with an idea: I could tie the mineral water to my back with a rope, so that it would always cling to my body and continue to cool me. So, I found a rope and carefully tied the mineral water to my back.
At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, after all, walking with a thing strapped to my back can be a little awkward. But I quickly got used to the feeling, and I found that the bottle of mineral water really served as a small air conditioner, constantly cooling me.
**Solace for the Soul**
As time went on, the sun became hotter and hotter, and the temperature on the construction site became hotter. However, I felt extra cool from the frozen bottle of mineral water on my back. Whenever I feel tired, I think of the coolness and comfort that this bottle of mineral water brings me, it seems to become a source of comfort and motivation for my soul.
During the break, I will share this "little invention" of mine with my co-workers. They all found it interesting and practical, and they followed my example. For a while, there was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere throughout the construction site.
**Perception and Reflection**
Although the day's work was extremely hard, I was filled with satisfaction and pride when I saw those tall buildings shining under the scorching sun. At the same time, I also deeply experienced the difficulties and hardships of those workers who stick to their posts in the high temperature. They have made great efforts and sacrifices for the construction and development of the city, and we should give them more care and respect.
In addition, I am also aware that we will always encounter various difficulties and challenges in life, but as long as we can face them positively and overcome them bravely, we will definitely be able to usher in a better future. At the same time, we should also learn to cherish the people and things around us and face every moment of life with a grateful heart.
In this scorching summer, the frozen bottle of mineral water not only brought me coolness and comfort, but also made me feel the beauty and warmth of life. It is hoped that every worker who sticks to his post under the scorching sun can get the respect and care they deserve, so that their efforts can be duly rewarded.
