Since then, I have never been afraid of wind and rain
Convenient sewing points are very popular with residents.
I thought Officer Yin was just joking, but I didn't expect him to actually help me build a small house. When she saw the pink custom-made board room in front of her, with convenient service points written on it, Granny Xie couldn't help but be moved to tears. "I promised you what I promised, and I will do it!The community police of the Guannan Police Station put the sewing machine into the house, and on this day, Granny Xie's convenient sewing shop was officially opened.
A thank you letter from Granny Xie's family.
The police promised in the wind and rain
"I'll find a way to build you a shed."
Two years ago, Yin Fang, a community police officer from the Guannan Police Station of the Public Security Branch of Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone, came to visit the Guannan community that had just taken over, when it suddenly rained, and a mother-in-law was hurriedly cleaning up her stall, which was filled with sewing machines, sewing boxes, and large bags of clothes. In the wind and rain, the mother-in-law was obviously a little powerless. Seeing this, Yin Fang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the two of them cleaned up the paving together, and carried the sewing machine, tables and chairs back to her mother-in-law's house.
During the conversation, Yin Fang learned that since Granny Xie moved to the Guannan community in 2008, she has started a small business of sewing clothes in the community, providing services such as sewing pants and changing zippers to nearby residents all year round.
A former sewing stand.
I don't want to make much money, I just happen to be able to sew, set up a stall here, do something myself, and help others. "Granny Xie's fees are not high, the pants are flattened at 5 yuan, the starting price for changing clothes is 10 yuan, and when the business is good, she can earn 60 or 70 yuan a day for living expenses.
For convenience, Granny Xie set up a stall under a big tree at the bottom of the unit, not to mention the wind and sun, the sewing machine weighing nearly 90 pounds of Granny Xie's house can only be split into two pieces at a time, and she and her wife carry it up and down together. Every morning at 7 o'clock, the stall closes after dark, and the sewing machines are moved around, which is a huge burden for Granny Xie, who lives on the 6th floor and has no elevator.
Seeing Granny Xie's hardships, the community police Yin Fang was distressedHe made a promise to Granny Xie: "I'll find a way to build you a shed!."”
The community secretary agreed
"The fireworks in the community are inseparable from the old craftsmen".
Guannan Community is a still built community, with a large volume and a large floating population, and Granny Xie's stall provides great convenience to the surrounding residents. "Granny Xie is very good at work, and I am willing to hand over all the clothes at home to her to sew. "Even if my father, who lives in the nearby Guannan Industrial Park, rides a bicycle for a few minutes, he is willing to come to Granny Xie's stall to mend clothes.
With such a sewing shop, residents no longer have to worry about the hassle of sewing clothes. "It would be nice to have a place to shelter from the elements. Yin Fang thought to himself.
The police visited the community (data map).
Since then, the police have always been thinking about Granny Xie in his heart, and he actively contacted the community neighborhood committee to find a more comfortable environment for his mother-in-law. The shop on the street is not good, the rent is too high for the mother-in-law to afford;No, at the intersection of the community, it is not safe for cars to come and go;It is too far from the building where Granny Xie lives, and it is inconvenient for the elderly to walk. The staff of the Yinfang Neighborhood Committee held several meetings to discuss the location of the sewing shop. "After Granny Xie finishes making clothes, she has to take them home to iron, it would be better if she could get electricity!"Yin Fang pays attention to every detail.
This is very consistent with our concept of retaining 'small repairs and small repairs', and the fireworks in the community are inseparable from such old craftsmen. Zhong Li, secretary of the Guannan Community Neighborhood Committee, said.
In October this year, under the promotion of the street and the community, she successfully applied for a 6-square-meter customized board house for Granny Xie as a convenient point for her mother-in-law. The convenience point is more than ten meters away from the mother-in-law's former stall, and the board room can not only be charged, but also reserved for air conditioning. Granny Xie no longer has to worry about the wind and rain, let alone the handling of the sewing machine.
The mother-in-law was moved to tears
"It's better than the promised shed."
"It's better than the promised shed."Granny Xie said. The community police were very pleased, and began to worry about the color, style, and signboard design of the board house.
Now it is a convenient sewing point.
I thought Officer Yin was just joking, but I didn't expect him to actually build a small house for me. When she saw the pink custom-made board room in front of her, with a convenient service point written on it, and the price list of the sewing shop hanging in the room, Granny Xie couldn't help but be moved to tears. "I promised you what I promised, and I will do it!Yin Fang put the sewing machine into the house, and on this day, Granny Xie's sewing shop officially opened.
Granny Xie is mending her pants.
Recently, the weather in Wuhan has become colder, but Granny Xie's sewing shop is very warm, and the elderly in the community always like to gather in the store, while accompanying Granny Xie to do sewing work, while doing homely work. "Since having this small house, Granny Xie's business is getting better and better, and her life is getting more and more energetic. Yin Fang, a community policeman, said with a smile.
Granny Xie's sewing shop is very popular.
An unexpected attention in the wind and rain has made a good story in the community. The efforts of the police to keep the sewing shop have become a pillar for a 68-year-old man to stick to.
