if not with a pair of nearsighted glasses, Liu Pulin and other sanitation workers do not look different. The Yellow sanitary clothing was worn on him, and he became more and more thin and weak. He waved his broom and began to work.
in the past two years, this "post-90s" sophomore has insisted on cleaning the street for the mother who worked in the sanitation department. His filial piety moved a lot of people and was called "the street filial piety".
this year, Liu Pulin still did not sleep late in the winter vacation, and did not play games. More than 5 in the morning, when most people were still soundly asleep, he took a broom, a shovel and iron dustpan in a street called the three palace of culvert to replace his mother for a day's cleaning. There are many firecrackers in Spring Festival, and firecrackers and crumbs are filled with large garbage bins over a meter high every day.
culvert San Gong street is located in the old residential area of Wuchang District, Wuhan, Hubei. It is about 400 meters long. One side is a residential building with a shop floor with a bottom layer and a tree on one side.
nearby residents like dogs very much, and dogs often leave feces on the road. At the beginning, after cleaning up pet excrement, Liu Pulin often had no time to eat. Now he has been able to face up to it. First, he used broom sweeps, could not sweep away and shovel a little bit with the shovel.
3 extension alleys, garbage trucks can not get in, Liu Pulin must use his hand to drag a meter of high green trash bin to the large bin. He needs to exert all his strength to support the garbage bin and then pour it into the fruit bin.
sometimes he just cleaned up the road before he could catch his breath and someone crashed down a piece of garbage. Liu Pulin never quarrelled with others, but quietly cleaned them again.
the firecracker crumbs will be firmly stuck to the ground when it is touched with water. It must be shoveled out with a small shovel. There is a lot of garbage in the residential area, and the rubbish at the door of each household should be cleaned up. There are many white rubbish in the front of the Palace Street, the leaves and the crumbs of the firecrackers in the later section. First, it takes two or three hours to sweep it once, and then scans again and again, and there is no garbage on the road... These are the working experiences that Liu Pulin summed up in practice.
Liu Pulin's parents work in the sanitation department. Father is responsible for garbage shipment, monthly income 1200 yuan; mother is responsible for cleaning two streets, two shifts a day, monthly income of 1800 yuan. The family and another sanitation worker live in a house of about 10 square meters.
Liu Pulin studied at the accounting department of the Department of economics and management of Wuhan University of Technology Huaxia college. The annual cost of optics is about 1 yuan. He is sensible enough to return to his parents every two weeks. He spends only 200 yuan on his living expenses each week, and spends only 100 yuan a week. And every time I come back, the main task is to sweep the street for my mother.
mother suffers from rheumatism, cervical vertebrae and gallstones, and her fingers are bent and deformed. When the weather changes, the mother aches when she sweeps the floor. But there is no difficulty for a strong mother to tell her family.
once, Liu Pulin saw his mother pounding his back while she was sweeping the floor. His waist was almost straight. He was very sad at that time. He suddenly realized that he had grown up and should share more for the family. So he picked up the broom and went up to the street: "my mother has given me too much. If I sweep a little more, she can take more rest."
in addition to filial piety, Liu Pulin is still a thrifty and frugal person. In October of last year, he received a grant of 2000 yuan for poor students. When Qian Yifa came down, he handed the bank card to his mother for emergency. In the summer of
, the empty bottles on campus could not escape Liu Pulin's eyes. He rinsed the empty bottle and stored it in the bedroom. He could save hundreds of bottles in a week, and then he mentioned that the recycle bin could sell for more than 20 yuan.
in the memory of roommate Jiang Kewen, Liu Pulin seldom attended school meals and always dine in the canteen. Some students have to eat eight or nine yuan for a meal, and Liu Pulin only needs three or four yuan. Once a student had a birthday, Liu Pulin spent more than 40 yuan on buying a 8 inch birthday cake as a gift. Everyone was very moved because the money was saved by Liu Pulin for a long time.
there are more liberal arts students in accounting class, and many students do not get good grades in mathematics. Liu Pulin studied science in high school and got good grades in mathematics. At ordinary times, people who do not know will consult him. No matter complex or simple, he will be patient to answer. Every time before the final exam, Liu Pulin will actively help everyone with math.
bought a new dress for the new year, sometimes wearing a collection of shoes, but Liu Pulin never complained about the bitterness of his life. Instead, he had a deep gratitude to his parents: "my parents are good enough for me, so it's so hard to send me to college."
when Liu Pulin was in grade three, her mother stopped working and returned to her hometown, Dahua, who rented a house next to the school for a year. In winter, when he was cold in the room, he slept with his mother. His mother put his feet under his armpit to help him warm his feet. He also quietly clamped his mother's feet with his arms to warm his toiling mother with his body temperature.
Liu Pulin moved many people to the story of mother sweeping the street. Some middle and primary schools invited him to give a lecture and give Thanksgiving education to their students.
someone asked him, "are you a college student, do you feel embarrassed when you sweep the floor? Don't be afraid of others looking down on you? "
Liu Pulin smiled optimistically and said, "sweeping the floor is not a big deal. It's a simple thing. Sweeping the ground is also a kind of labor, no distinction between low and low. I am very happy to see the street clean in my own hands. Besides, mom has swept for nearly 10 years, and she can sweep me.
