I happened to see this passage, and I was deeply touched. I often think that if people learn to give, then the world will not be so indifferent.
The winter of 20 13 is very warm. Unexpectedly, in the spring of 20 14, the north wind roared, snowflakes danced, and solar energy pipes burst in the cold of late spring. When the house was renovated, solar energy was installed on the principle of environmental protection and energy saving. I didn't expect that some things were still exquisite, and it was like this in three or five years.
The weather finally cleared up and the maintenance man arrived in time. A young man who looks simple and honest and strong. He was carrying a big roll of pipes and a big bag of tools, and fine sweat oozed from his forehead. "Master hard! Don't take off your shoes, just come in! " Afraid of his embarrassment, I went into the house without changing my shoes. After entering the room, I first made him a cup of tea, and then found a towel and handed it to him. I smiled and said, "Master, wipe your sweat first and have a cup of tea!" "
The young man is big, but his voice is very small. He nodded his thanks, a little stiff. You can see at a glance that this is a young man from the countryside. He took the towel, gently put it on the dining chair, and then quietly wiped a sweat with his sleeve. "Young man, don't be so particular about it, okay? I am also from the countryside. " This sentence has suddenly narrowed the distance between us, and his words have obviously increased.
The young man went into the cupboard to check the water pipes. He is not wearing work clothes. I opened my husband's closet and found two sets of work clothes, a new one and an old one. Hesitated, or picked up the old one. "Young man, put on your work clothes and get to work. You will climb to the top of the building later. " "Thank you! I'm not dressed either. It is no problem to work in them. " Young people are a little embarrassed. "Your clothes are dirty and not easy to wash. It would be a pity to scratch them. Eldest brother's work clothes are hardly worn, and it is also a waste to leave them. If you don't dislike them, take them to work! " The young man just put on his work clothes, which is just the right size.
"Your solar host is provided by the company, and the quality is no problem. The problem is that the installed accessories are too poor. The installation company replaced the copper core wire with the aluminum core wire, and the water pipes and inlet and outlet valves were relatively poor, which could not be seen by laymen. " The young man took down the parts and explained them to me. "I changed good accessories for you today, hoping to use them for a few more years." The young man has a sincere face, and I believe he is not lying.
The indoor problem is solved. Accompany the master to the seventh floor, I was dumbfounded. The vertical skylight five or six meters above the ground reaches the roof, which is enough for one person to enter and exit. No safety facilities, not even a straight ladder! I really don't know how the dense solar energy on the roof is installed. I wonder what the idiot who designed the house thinks. The hole must be reserved for roof maintenance and so on, but why not consider how workers can get upstairs?
After a long struggle, I borrowed two ladders and tied them together. The young man picked up his tool kit and climbed onto the roof. The hole is too small, so the pipe can only be pulled up by rope at the window. The first time I tied it under the instructions of the young man, but he slipped out as soon as he pulled the rope hard! I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat that I tried my best to hold it and not let it fall downstairs! I regret it, I really regret it-why do you pretend this shit? Why did you fix this? ! After a long rest, I finally got it up safely.
The young man said that his work on the roof would take at least a few minutes, and he asked me to go back to my room to rest. However, I dare not leave downstairs. I have to tell him to be safe from time to time, and I have to hold the ladder when he comes down. When my legs are numb, the young man will come down. Seeing that I never left, he was grateful: "In fact, there is no need for an escalator. I wrapped all the 27-meter pipes with tape, which is much more durable. The heating rods and sensors have been replaced with new ones, and there will be no problem for at least five years! "
After returning to the house, it took a lot of effort to connect the pipes. Look at this sweaty and panting young man. I can't help but sigh "alas! This thing is too troublesome, and solar energy will never be installed again! "
Who knows, the young man said with a wry smile: "If you don't pretend, you won't have food. No matter how troublesome it is, it is also the trouble of our installers! " I regretted this sentence unintentionally. I can't help but think of a passage in "Selling Charcoal Weng"-"What's the point of selling charcoal to make money? Clothes on your body, food in your mouth. Ragged and single, with a lingering fear. I hope it will be cold ... "
Finally, the solar water heater that collapsed for many days returned to normal, and the time was past noon. I poured hot water, took a towel and urged the young man to wash his face before paying the bill. According to the daily maintenance price, he calculated that the pipeline is 405 yuan, the heating rod 90 yuan, the sensor 90 yuan, the door-to-door fee 50 yuan, and other rubber-coated valves are ignored, which still needs 635 yuan! It's really beyond my budget. "Well, it's a bit uneconomical." The young man also has some sufferings. "Can you give me a discount?" Yuan couldn't help asking 1 carefully. "Well, the door-to-door fee is not charged, and the others are also discounted. Forget 480!"
I can't bargain any more, because the neighbor's maintenance price is not discounted. I gave the young man 500 yuan and then washed a big apple to satisfy my hunger. Who knows that the young man asked me for 50 after receiving the apple, and he only received 450!
I felt a little guilty after the young man left. I know, an old work clothes is worthless. An apple is worthless. In fact, all people need to give each other is a smile, a greeting, a little sincerity, some respect and a trust.
I am poor, too. I want to say to Buddha: "Buddha! Learn to give, I no longer have nothing. At least, I have gained a happiness and a heartfelt touch ... "
