The courier brother Fan Xiaoliang delivered the package in the cold wind.
The cold outdoors makes people unprepared. The weather is bad, the more people shop online, and the volume of express delivery does not decrease but increases. The bitter cold wind and the residual ice and snow on the ground made the delivery of the "last mile" more difficult. On December 17, the reporter followed the pace of the courier brother and shuttled through the streets and alleys to feel their busy day in winter.
Departure at dawn. At 6:30, minus 10 degrees Celsius, 28-year-old Fan Xiaoliang had gone out in the dark. The road is not easy to walk, there are a lot of express mail that needs to be delivered recently, and he needs to arrive at the post early. On the way, find a breakfast stall, eat a few bites, and have warmth on your body. At 7:10, he arrived at the Qianfeng business point of Shanxi SF Meiyuan, and all the other couriers had arrived at their posts.
Five minutes later, a truck slowly stopped, full of deliveries from the sorting center. A few days ago, there was widespread snowfall in northern cities across the country, resulting in the closure of some highways, and transport vehicles were blocked along the way. The snow melts and the road is open, and a large number of express delivery is concentrated in Taiyuan, and the delivery task is very heavy. Fan Xiaoliang whispered: "Look at this full car, everyone has to send more than 100 pieces today, and it's another busy day, come on!."”
Hurry, hurry up and unload. Someone greeted him, and the courier guys immediately got busy. Unloading, moving, sorting, in less than half an hour, the packages of the whole vehicle were "transferred" to everyone's express tricycle, stuffed to the brim.
These two pieces are in the same community, stacked together;The big one is far away, and the last is sent;This one is marked fragile and placed on top ......"Fan Xiaoliang is young, but he is very careful. He checked the list, bent down to check the packages again, and adjusted the position of a few packages by the way, and then locked the car.
It was too cold, the reporter was wearing gloves, and his fingers were a little disobedient. But Fan Xiaoliang and the others didn't wear gloves. "Everyone was given gloves at the outlet, but no one wore them when they were sorted," he laughs. For each express delivery, it is necessary to enter the face sheet information, show your fingers, take the goods conveniently, and use your mobile phone more flexibly. ”
Shuttle against the wind. At 7:50, after drinking a cup of hot ginger soup prepared by the outlet, Fan Xiaoliang drove off, and the reporter rode to follow.
The snow melts on the main road, making it easy to walk. However, in some back streets and alleys, there is still a little snow, which is very slippery after freezing into ice. The wheels ran over and almost lost control. Fan Xiaoliang was not at ease, and turned his head from time to time to advise: "Slow down, safety first!."”
The first stop is the Lijingyuan community on Qianfeng South Road, where there are 5 express deliveries. Along the way, the wind blew in my ears, and it was a really uncomfortable taste. In less than 10 minutes, my fingers, ears, and face were frozen and painful. Although the reporter was already dressed thickly, the wind still drilled towards the neckline, sleeves, and trouser legs from all directions.
Hello, your courier is coming soon, at home?I'll deliver it right away. When he arrived at the gate of the community, he stopped the car and called the residents one by one. 3 people are at home, 1 person is not there, and 1 person asked to put the delivery into the smart inbox.
Each courier brother is divided into a district, with several residential buildings, several units, and which door to enter and exit from, and they are familiar with it. In just 10 minutes, 4 parcels were delivered. The remaining 1 piece will be delivered again in the afternoon at the request of the recipient. This "special package" was stuffed into the innermost part of the carriage.
After walking 3 communities, although the electric bicycle has a windproof quilt and handle, the reporter has been shivering from the cold. Stop the car and keep pacing back and forth, stomping your feet. Looking at Fan Xiaoliang again, his ears were also red from the cold, and the white gas dissipated in the cold air.
The colder the day, the busier it is, because people tend to do their shopping online. He said that the delivery of express delivery is most afraid of snow, and there have been two snowfalls in a row before, which has affected the speed of delivery. In the past few days, we have to snatch the "time" back, and everyone should try to send as many points as possible, so that residents can get the express as soon as possible.
Harvest warmth. At noon, the carriage was empty, and the two returned to the business office and had a brief lunch nearby. After a short break, at about 14 o'clock, another truck full of couriers arrived. Repeat the early morning unloading, sorting, loading, and then set off for delivery again.
In the afternoon of the same day, I was unexpectedly moved. The recipient is an elderly man who lives alone and his children have sent clothes from out of town. Delivered the piece to the door, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the old man. After a while, the old man brought two cups of freshly brewed black tea, which were hot, and told him to "warm up and drink before leaving."
Fan Xiaoliang said that such things are often encountered, the body is cold, but the heart is warm. The residents are very polite to the courier brother, and they also understand that when the weather is bad, no one urges.
The sun was sinking in the west, and Fan Xiaoliang reminded: "Let's speed up and finish the last few pieces." There is also a courier to be received, which cannot be delayed. "He quickened his pace, drove widely, trotted narrowly, and skilfully and neatly. After another hour, in and out of one community after another, on such a cold day, the reporter's back was sweating.
When I returned home in the evening, the reporter felt like a shelf falling apart, and I really felt that this line of work was not easy. And for Fan Xiaoliang, it was just an extremely ordinary day. When people enjoy the convenience of online shopping, please don't forget to say "thank you" to the courier guy, because your smile will brush away their hard work ...... all the way
