"Life is rare in seventy years", seventy years old should be the age to enjoy the joy of family, but for some old people, seventy years old is still struggling for life.
Recently, an employer shared a video on social platforms, he bought a truck of cement to build a house, when he ordered cement, he asked the merchant to help him hire a porter to unload the cement, but he didn't expect the merchant to help find a 71-year-old man to come to work. This uncle used his unyielding backbone to brave the hot weather and carry 8 tons of cement in half an hour, which made the company deeply admire and made him understand what hard work and dignity are.
On a summer afternoon, the sun scorches the earth like a fire, and even the air is filled with the smell of heat waves. In such a heavy day, most people are probably hiding in air-conditioned rooms to cool off.
The employer asked the merchant to find a job for an old man, and when I asked, I found out that he was 71 years old this year, dressed plainly, with white hair, and his skin was deeply wrinkled by time and weather, but his eyes still sparkled with an unyielding light.
The employer was also worried about whether the uncle would be able to do such heavy work, and the uncle patted his chest and promised that it would not take an hour to unload the cement from the trunk and carry it to the designated location. It sounds like an almost impossible task, especially for an old man in his prime.
The uncle took out an iron hook, which was his work tool, and used to hook and drag out the cement of the trunk. Without the slightest hesitation, he bent down, gripped the corners of the sack with both hands, and with a low "hey", a heavy bag of cement was firmly caught under his armpit, and he quickly carried the cement into the house. At that moment, everything around seemed so small in the eyes of the employer, only the figure of the uncle looked extraordinarily tall under the scorching sun.
As bags of cement were unloaded, the uncle's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his clothes had long been soaked with sweat and clinging to his body. But he never stopped the work in his hands, and every time he bent down and got up, it seemed to announce his unyielding and persistence to fate. The employer was deeply moved by the uncle's perseverance and silently cheered for the uncle.
Half an hour passed, and when the last bag of cement landed steadily, the uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile on his face. Although his body trembled slightly from overwork, the sense of accomplishment and pride made him seem to forget all the exhaustion.
When the employer saw this scene, his heart swelled with endless respect, he walked quickly to the uncle's side, handed over two bottles of cold mineral water, and said softly: "Uncle, you have worked hard, this is a little bit of my heart." ”
The two bottles of water, although light, carry the employer's endless respect and gratitude to the uncle. Uncle used his practical actions to interpret what real diligence and tenacity are. He did not give up the pursuit of life because of age, did not complain about the injustice of fate because of hard work, but used his own hands to accumulate the hope and dignity of life bit by bit.
The spirit of this uncle is really worth learning from the majority of young people, and it can be seen from him that no matter how old he is, no matter how difficult the environment is, as long as he maintains a positive heart and has the courage to face the challenges and difficulties in life, he can live his own wonderful life. Although the uncle is old, his never-say-die heart allows him to shine brightly at any time.
We have to reflect on whether we ignore those workers who pay silently and are industrious and simple while pursuing material comforts? They may not have a prominent position or a good income, but they use their own hands to contribute to the development of society.
Although the uncle is so old, he is not afraid of hard work and uses his hands to earn the cleanest money, this spirit is really admirable. In life, we all have to be like this uncle, maintain a tenacious heart, and use diligence and wisdom to create a better future.
