<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > in order to "poetry and far away", after graduating from college, I chose to become a general train attendant</h1>
My name is Fang Hui, born in 1994 in Pingdingshan City, Henan Province.
I am an authentic Henan big girl who grew up drinking peppery soup.
Pingdingshan is a nationally famous coal city, my father used to be a coal miner, and my mother worked in the canteen of the mining area.
I grew up in a coal pile when I was a child, and it is no exaggeration to say that I lived with my parents in a dormitory in the mining area, and there were many piles of mountain-like cinder next to the dormitory.
My only childhood pleasure was standing on a coal hill with a group of friends and watching trains go in and out of the mine like big black snakes.
They wriggled their bodies, pulled on their shrill cries, and as they rumbled past us, we would all shout loudly at the train.
At that time, I was particularly envious of train drivers, thinking that this was the most romantic profession in the world, how free they were, they had been to so many cities and seen so many landscapes.
I graduated from an ordinary undergraduate university in Zhengzhou, and I have no skills, so I can only find some low-level jobs.
When I first entered the society, I was like a fish in a fish tank that was suddenly dumped into the sea, dazed, wandering, and overwhelmed.
My friends in college had gone their separate ways, and I had returned to Pingdingshan.
Father said that it is not easy for a girl to live alone in the big city of Zhengzhou, and it is very good to return to her parents' side and find a down-to-earth ordinary man to marry and live a life of ordinary life.
Of course, I also know that blandness is true, but the heart that seeks freedom is constantly throbbing.
More than once, I have fantasized about traveling alone with a backpack, like the American writer Hemingway, whom I like very much, traveling all over the world, visiting humanistic feelings, and being a free person all my life.
By chance, my college classmates told me that Zhengzhou was recruiting ordinary train attendants, and I didn't hesitate to sign up.
The requirements for the interview are not high, Mandarin standards, high school education, good facial features, no bad records, etc.
I passed the interview smoothly, and then it was a month-long training. After the training, you can start as an internship.
I am not a direct recruit of the railway bureau, but a contract worker of an outsourcing company, and the salary is of course lower.
When my parents learned that I was going to be a train attendant, they all objected, because the nature of the job was that I was wandering outside all year round, it was very hard, and sometimes I couldn't go home during the New Year's holiday.
Let's get together with our loved ones.
But I don't think so, isn't this exactly the life I dreamed of, and when I successfully interviewed, the excitement was beyond words, so I firmly refuted my parents' opinions.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > set off, and the beautiful Urumqi became my "third hometown"</h1>
The train line I work on is from Zhengzhou to Urumqi, and it takes about four days to come and go.
When I first started working as an intern, I was very nervous, because flight attendants need to deal with different people all the time, with a warm attitude and gentle language.
Passengers come from all over the world and speak different dialects, which are sometimes difficult to understand.
For example, on the train where I work, many passengers are from the Xinjiang region, and when I first took up my post, I really couldn't understand what they said, so I could only guess and speculate.
During the internship period, I was in charge of a carriage with an experienced old attendant, which is called taking the old with the new, and when my internship period is over, I can be responsible for a car alone.
During the internship period, the salary is relatively low, my basic salary is 1500, plus various living allowances, I can get about 2000 yuan a month.
We have a total of 17 passenger cars and a dining car on our train, and a conductor is responsible for the overall work.
But the dining car does not belong to our group, and the manager of the dining car is the director of the dining car, who is not under the jurisdiction of the conductor.
Our crew consists of a conductor, a main train, a number of attendants, and an announcer.
The main train is responsible for assisting the conductor in his work, and the main job is to replenish tickets. Our conductor is in his forties and used to be a crew member, then promoted to the main train and then to conductor.
Announcer is a more "mysterious" profession, except for meal time, basically do not go out of the studio, few passengers can see the announcer on the train.
The announcer on our train is a big beautiful woman, not only sweet in voice, but also young and beautiful.
The food truck is responsible for serving our food, which is subsidized by the Road Bureau. But the chefs on our dining car were so skilled that I bought a big bag of snacks before the train and used them as dry food.
Three hours before the train departs in Zhengzhou, our staff will board the train in advance, and after making all the preparations, the train will leave the warehouse and enter the station.
When passengers get on the train, we are responsible for checking the tickets, and when the train leaves, we have to lock the doors, put away the passengers' luggage, and answer all the questions about the itinerary for the passengers.
Our work is actually relatively simple, and maintaining the hygiene of the carriage at all times is the main task.
The train takes more than 30 hours to travel from Zhengzhou to Urumqi, and the crew is constantly picking up passengers on the train, sending passengers off, and cleaning during their work.
Our shift times are at our discretion, every 6-8 hours.
After the shift, I went back to the cabin to rest, when I first started working, because I was not used to it, I always couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep on my mobile phone or looked at the scenery outside the window, my eyes were red every day, endocrine disorders, and my face was full of pimples.
Now I'm used to falling asleep as soon as I lie down, and with the sound of train wheels rubbing against the rails, I sleep very soundly.
Over time, when I came home and lay down on a comfortable bed, I couldn't sleep.
The desert in Xinjiang is very beautiful, and at dusk at sunset, the desert is dyed a hazy blood red, and the endless and endless sand dunes are shrouded in a blood-red world.
The sunrise on the desert is also very beautiful, through the window glass, watching the golden sun rise slowly, suddenly the endless desert has become a golden ocean, giving people the feeling that the desert outside the window is full of golden sand, making people have the urge to pack a few sacks home.
When the train arrives in Urumqi and all the passengers on board get off, we are about to start working.
Sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, arranging the seats, cleaning the toilet, after a series of tasks, often I was too tired to stand up straight.
I work very fast every time, desperately because I want to get off the bus early and go to the streets of Urumqi.
From the train to the station to the train return, we have 12 hours of free time in between.
In my life, I have only visited three cities, Zhengzhou, Pingdingshan, and Urumqi.
Although I am a flight attendant, I have passed through many cities on the road, but I have never been out of the train station, so I can only count it.
I have been to Urumqi too many times, and I am already very familiar with the city and like it very much.
Urumqi in autumn is very beautiful, the temperature is appropriate, the sun is not sunny, and it is warm.
Autumn is the harvest season, and the streets of Urumqi are filled with the sweetness of fruits, delicious and inexpensive.
Every time I go to Urumqi, I will make crazy big purchases, the local souvenirs are really good, I will buy a few large bags to take home for my parents, relatives and friends to taste.
I don't like Urumqi in the summer, it's too hot at noon, and I don't dare to go out. In winter, Urumqi is very cold, the average temperature can reach minus 20 degrees, but it is also very beautiful, like the fairy tale ice and snow kingdom.
Maybe because I often come to Urumqi, I am full of feelings for this city, and in my heart it is like hometown.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > return trip, Zhengzhou, my free life continues</h1>
The train finally returned, picked up the passengers from Xinjiang to the mainland, the night sky of the desert was starry, the Big Dipper, the Orion constellation, the train greeted the bright stars and slowly left the desert.
After three months of my internship, I turned positive, and my salary has risen every year after the regularization, and my current salary is 4500 yuan per month plus various subsidies.
After more than thirty hours of travel, I returned to Zhengzhou with four days of rest.
Zhengzhou is not far from Pingdingshan, and I have to return to Pingdingshan every time I take a vacation.
When I got home, I first had a full meal, and when I woke up, I ate a big meal, a big bowl of braised noodles.
Although my parents always felt that I was tired, I felt very fulfilled and satisfied myself, and I liked my current state of life.
This is my life, a Henan girl who loves to drink peppery soup and loves to eat braised noodles, a simple girl.
My free life continues.
