A 24-year-old female rider’s ＂fast＂ life has made everyone do their best to survive.

　　CCTV News: (Reporter Ren Jia)Who would be so strong if life were not easy?

　　A while ago, Beijing ushered in windy weather, and the gust could reach 9 or so. There are many pictures on the Internet of riders struggling to walk in the gale. Some people stand up and fall down after being blown over by the wind … … For this scene, Yang Xue is familiar with it, because that day, she was also blown down by the strong wind on the way to delivery.

　　With the development of China’s Internet, especially the mobile Internet, the take-away industry has made great strides. According to the Statistical Report on the Development of Internet in China, as of June 2019, the number of online take-away users in China reached 421 million, accounting for about half of the total size of netizens.

　　The "lazy economy" has spawned various online ordering platforms, and the riders who send takeout have also emerged. In this industry where male practitioners are the majority, there are many female riders who are plain and thin, but they are no less than any male. According to statistics, out of every 100 riders, 10 are female riders, 5 of whom are post-90s, and 30% of the female takeout staff are single-king riders who take orders in the region.

　　Yang Xue, a 24-year-old Beijing girl, is one of the few female riders.

　　"On the windy day, there were a lot of orders." In Yang Xue’s impression, her cell phone kept ringing, and she didn’t have time to find a place to take shelter. Her car was blown down several times. This little girl, who is only 1.6 meters tall, can’t hold down the car at all. When the wind was the strongest, the resistance was so great that she had to stop at the same place and wait for the gust to pass before starting.

　　Even so, the accident came. On the way to take the meal, a strong wind made Yang Xue, who was turning the corner, unable to escape, and even the car and people were blown down. The car hit his leg, and Yang Xue couldn’t move in pain. She wanted to call for help, but the phone was in the pocket in front of the car, and the car was holding her leg, so she couldn’t reach it at all. It was windy at night and there were very few pedestrians. She sat for a long time without seeing anyone passing by, and her legs were swollen. "I feel my heart is getting cold." Fortunately, the passing driver saw her and helped her up. After getting up, she couldn’t take care of her leg pain, so she hurriedly called her colleague and asked him to take the meal for delivery.

　　Delivery is a hard job, and it takes a lot of effort to catch up with the time. Yang Xue sometimes starts work at 6 o’clock in the morning and works until 12 o’clock in the evening. Running upstairs and downstairs has become a daily routine. When you are busy, you can’t eat, and sometimes you can’t even drink water. Catch up with customers to buy several barrels of mineral water, which seems fragile, and she can only carry it upstairs one by one. Yang Xue’s husband is also a rider. Sometimes two people meet, because both sides are carrying meals in their hands, it is not convenient to take off their masks, just honking their horns or making faces at each other, and they pass by.

　　Besides, security is Yang Xue’s biggest concern. Riders shuttle through the traffic every day, and if they are not careful, they are prone to traffic accidents. She once had a scuffle with a car for robbing the road, but fortunately, the person was fine, and the owner didn’t pursue it when he saw that the car was fine. However, her car was damaged and the guest’s soup was spilled, so she had to pay for the restaurant to make a new one.

　　"I have hit cars, bicycles and electric cars. This is the third car I have changed." In fact, every rider has been repeatedly stressed that "you can’t run a red light" when entering the job. But running dozens of orders a day, with so many anxious customers, Yang Xue found it difficult to completely obey the traffic rules.

　　customer

　　Compared with physical fatigue, Yang Xue is more afraid of making things difficult for customers.

　　Yang Xue’s sense of direction is not very strong. When he first started work, he was not very familiar with the route and surrounding communities. There are many high-rise buildings and dense communities in Beijing, so it is not easy to find them, and it is even more difficult to catch up with multiple names in the same community. On the day of the winter solstice, jiaozi’s best-selling food was slow, and it was too late for Yang Xue to pick it up. She came to the community according to the address of the customer’s order, but she couldn’t find it for a long time, and the customer couldn’t tell how to get there. Later, she made a video call with her husband and finally arrived at the delivery place under his guidance, but the order was overdue for 20 minutes. Knocking on the door, the customer didn’t accept her apology at all, and accused her completely.

　　"Why did you come so late?"

　　"How can I eat this jiaozi?"

　　"Aren’t you supposed to send me this family for special delivery?" "No, sister, please listen to me."

　　"You don’t have to explain, you should send it to my family!"

　　For 20 minutes, customers kept blaming Yang Xue. In order to calm customers’ emotions and avoid getting bad reviews, Yang Xue can only keep apologizing to customers. "Elder sister, I really worked hard. I will definitely deliver the meal as soon as possible. I hope you understand me and don’t give me bad reviews." Coming down from upstairs, Yang Xue’s eyes were red, and when she came home to see her husband, tears of injustice and sadness could not stop flowing down.

　　The only bad review in her takeaway career made her laugh and cry.

　　After she delivered the meal ordered by the customer to the designated hotel, the customer said that she was taking a bath and it was not convenient to go downstairs to get the meal. Let her put it at the front desk. Subsequently, she got a bad review on the grounds that the delivery was confirmed in advance. Can’t communicate can’t explain, Yang Xue can only accept. For customers, this may be just a refreshing vent, but for riders, getting a bad review may mean a punishment and a heart injury.

　　"In fact, most customers are very polite and will say thank you. Especially in bad weather, some customers will tell me not to worry when it is cold and slippery in winter, and send me a bottle of iced mineral water before leaving in summer. " These small actions have made Yang Xue truly feel that although life is not easy, there is warmth everywhere in the world.

　　misfortune

　　Delivery is not Yang Xue’s first job. She also worked as a cashier, a courier, a restaurant waiter and a car washer … … "Sending a courier is much harder than sending a takeaway!" It is necessary to start loading at 7 o’clock every day, catch up with the community without elevators, and carry it up one by one. Recalling the past, Yang Xue still remembers it vividly. "I have sent a big box of goods as high as my height. If I can’t move it, I will move it upstairs bit by bit." Because she lives far away, Yang Xue has to get up early every day, and once she fell asleep on the way to deliver the courier, causing people and cars to overturn on the side of the road.

　　Although the work was hard, Yang Xue also gained sweet love. When she was a courier, she met her current husband, took care of her and cared for her, which made her feel the warmth of her family. Although she is a Beijinger, Yang Xue seldom goes back to Beijing in the past few years when she left home to work, which is what she regrets most.

　　Because his parents divorced, Yang Xue grew up with his father. When she graduated from high school, she had a big fight with her father and left home. My father has high blood pressure and diabetes and has been in poor health. In recent years, Yang Xue, though caring, couldn’t get past the hurdle in his heart and didn’t want to go home.

　　At the end of last year, my father went to the hospital for examination because of a bad stomachache. Advanced gastric cancer! Yang Xue couldn’t believe his eyes. She didn’t dare to tell her father the contents of the diagnosis, but his father seemed to perceive all this and told Yang Xue that if one day he was seriously ill, he wouldn’t be treated. He didn’t want to lie in the intensive care unit with tubes all over his body. Sick, Yang Xue hide not to live, she wanted to take her father to do chemotherapy, was rejected by his father, "don’t do chemotherapy! I don’t want to burden you, you have to raise children. Just take some medicine! "

　　Since her father became ill, Yang Xue went to see her father after work every night, but after sitting for less than ten minutes, her father worried that it was unsafe for her to walk at night and "kicked her out". The disease developed rapidly. Half a year after the diagnosis, his father died, which made Yang Xue, who had lived with his father since childhood, extremely sad. When I was alone, Yang Xue always recalled that when I was a child, I fell on my father’s generous back and felt the warmth and greatness; On the wedding day, I saw my father turn his back and shed tears; In front of the delivery room, my father paced up and down anxiously … … She regretted her impulsiveness, because after that, there was no "dad" in her world.

　　future

　　Fortunately, the hard life didn’t crush the 24-year-old girl. Although her father is gone, she left her optimistic and cheerful personality to Yang Xue. In the eyes of colleagues, she is still the little "chatterbox" who loves to talk and laugh, but no one knows how much life pressure this smiling girl has suffered.

　　During the more than one year of delivery, she experienced family changes, including car accidents, grievances and bad reviews … … But after tasting the hardships and bitterness of life, this 95-year-old girl is even more indifferent. If the heart is sunny, why worry about sadness? Life will always get better, and she always believes.

　　Today, her daughter has become her biggest concern. My 3-year-old daughter is so attached to her that she doesn’t want to sleep every day and has to wait for her to come home. In Yang Xue’s eyes, a child’s smile is a good medicine to cure all wounds. Yang Xue can’t always be with her daughter because of the delivery job, which is what she feels most indebted to her children. What she fears most is that when she knocks on a customer’s door, she sees a child of several years old in the other person’s house. "When I think of my daughter, I always secretly wipe my tears when I go downstairs."

　　Lu Yao wrote in "Ordinary World": "In fact, everyone’s life is a world, and even the most ordinary person has to fight for the world in which he lives."

　　When Yang Xue is lying in bed, his mind will flash across a yearning scene: the family will sit around and chat, take the children out for a walk after dinner, watch the square dance, take off the tooling and go to the seaside to take a beautiful family photo … … Thinking about it, I fell asleep.
