Accompanied by property personnel, Geng Zhiwu (right) is dredging the main pipe.
On February 1, it was the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and the sky was snowing. At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the tranquility of the fourth phase of Greenland Century City was broken by the sound of "boom" as usual on weekdays. At this time, Geng Zhiwu was dredging pipes next to the unit building, and his trouser legs and shoes were stained with plaster, which was particularly conspicuous in the hoarfrost-covered environment. Geng Zhiwu is a pipeline dredging worker, and the dredging work at the end of the year is very busy, he is on call no matter morning and evening, just to solve the problems of residents' lives in the first time.
As early as a few days ago, Geng Zhiwu received the first property of the community, and he wanted to conduct a comprehensive inspection and dredge of the sewage pipes of the entire community before the festival, so as to ensure the residents' Spring Festival life in advance.
On the same day, 44-year-old Geng Zhiwu, dressed in gray overalls and driving a gray van carrying a high-pressure dredging machine, stopped in front of the unit building, skillfully pulled out an 8-meter-long black water pipe, and walked towards the manhole cover. Due to the low temperature since the beginning of winter, after the manhole cover was opened, the surface of the wastewater at the drainage outlet of the underground main pipeline had been slightly solidified, forming a layer of black foaming solid fat. "When the grease juice enters the drain, it solidifies as soon as it cools, sticking to other garbage, and the pipes quickly become clogged. He said as he pulled the garbage from the water with a shovel.
After the garbage was removed, the stagnant water quickly flowed down the underground main pipe, and at the same time, the sewer opening, which was hidden by the stagnant water, was gradually revealed. Then, he quickly inserted the unclogging hose in one go. As soon as the dredging machine was turned on, the high-pressure water pipe instantly became in the hands of Master Geng, "** In the case of not seeing the inside of the pipe, Geng Zhiwu relied on his experience to observe the water flow at the mouth of the pipe, while pulling the high-pressure water pipe back and forth, trying to wash away the sticky matter stuck to the pipe wall. He plugged the high-pressure hose in, retracted some, plugged it in, retracted some ......The action was repeated in such a cycle, and after more than ten minutes, seeing that the flow rate of the water was getting faster and faster, Geng Zhiwu's frowning brows slowly relaxed. At this time, the property staff accompanying him couldn't help but stretch out their hands and give a big thumbs up to Geng Zhiwu's work. After 20 minutes, the main pipe of one building was unblocked. The process is then repeated next to the next building.
In 2017, Geng Zhiwu and his wife started the pipeline dredging work under the leadership of their friends. "Although the environment is more difficult, dirty and smelly, but I have gritted my teeth and persisted for so many years, coupled with the quality of my service, my business is getting better day by day. Talking about the hardships of work, Geng Zhiwu was deeply touched. The working environment of pipeline dredging is often dirty and smelly, and others are afraid to avoid it, but the simple and honest Geng Zhiwu couple never consider the word dirty and smelly when providing services, and always put providing high-quality services in the first place. With honest management and reasonable fees, Geng Zhiwu's housekeeping service department has won praise and praise from customers step by step.
Doing this business is inseparable from life, although it is work, but it will also give people a sense of mission. "Even if it is a New Year's holiday, or even two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, as long as he receives **, Geng Zhiwu will drive there and arrive in time. "Once on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family was eating, as soon as the ** sounded, I guessed that someone had a problem at home, and the other party was so anxious that he urged all the way, and when I got there, the kitchen and living room were all flooded. That night, Geng Zhiwu relied on his experience to gradually check the pipeline blockage points and further do a good job in stopping leakage and dredging, the whole process took about two hours, and it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening when he got home. "The young man who played ** felt that he was very reluctant to call me to help at this juncture, and insisted on stuffing a red envelope into my hand, but how could I ask for it? If we are in the service industry, we will collect as much as we should. In his view, integrity is the foundation, and it is also a life criterion that must be adhered to.
As a pipeline dredging worker, he has seen too many scenes of "water leakage", Geng Zhiwu knows that the masses are warm and cold, and in case of emergencies, he naturally doesn't care about anything. "At the end of the year, the water consumption is large, the pipeline dredging manpower is tight, sometimes the matter is urgent, so I don't care about other things, and I can help others solve such a big problem, all the hard work is worth it. Geng Zhiwu said with a pleased smile. For him, pipe dredging is not only a trivial matter, but also a major event related to the warmth and coldness of thousands of families. In his eyes, when the pipeline is dredged, his mission is completed.
Willing to be covered in mud in exchange for a hundred clean. In life, in fact, there are many pipeline dredging workers like Geng Zhiwu, who are not afraid of dirty, tired, serious and dedicated, guarding thousands of households in their own unique way, bringing harmony and tranquility to the whole city. Talking about his expectations for the New Year, Geng Zhiwu said: "In 2024, I hope to bring a better life to my family and provide customers with good services as always." ”
