After the Spring Festival, free return-to-work special trains departed from Guangxi, Hunan, and Yunnan and arrived in Guangdong one after another. With a longing for the new year, migrant workers have embarked on the road to return to work one after another. On February 19, the reporter followed the migrant workers on the D1857 return train to experience the return to work of migrant workers in Guangdong and listen to their stories of working in Guangdong.
On February 19, more than 600 migrant workers from Guizhou took a return train to Guangdong at Rongjiang Station.
Character: Zhang Jiayang.
Age: 24 years old.
Time to work in Guangdong: 5 years.
Mom and Dad, take care, I'm back to work. Zhang Jiayang, who was born in 1999, is 24 years old this year. Don't look at her age, since she was 19 years old, she followed the big brothers and sisters in the village and started her life of working in the south.
Sitting on the special train to return to work, looking at the mountains and villages speeding by outside the window, Zhang Jiayang's thoughts are still stuck in the small mountain village.
In the northern part of Rongjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, there is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains. This is Xiqing Village, where Zhang Jiayang's family is located. In spring, rape flowers bloom at the top of the mountain, adding a touch of moisture and freshness to the quiet village.
Zhang Jiayang's hometown in the northern part of Rongjiang County, Guizhou Province, has pleasant scenery.
When I was a child, my family's life was to grow some crops in the terraces carved out of that hillside, barely filling my stomach. Standing on the top of the hill next to the village, Zhang Jiayang pointed to another hill not far away.
Zhang Jiayang is the girl in the family, the second in line. "In the past, I had to help my parents with household chores and take care of my younger brother. Speaking of his past life, Zhang Jiayang was very helpless: "The family used to rely mainly on farming, and the annual family income was only about 10,000 yuan. ”
The people in the mountains are closed to information, and they all rely on the villagers who went out of the mountains to bring them over. When Zhang Jiayang was more than ten years old, his sister followed the eldest brother and sister in the village out of the mountain. Every year when I come back, I tell my family about life outside. In my sister's mouth, Guangdong is prosperous and a place full of hope. "Since my sister went out to work, the situation at home has only improved little by little. When Zhang Jiayang was 19 years old, he followed in his sister's footsteps and also came to Guangdong.
At that time, the first feeling when I came to Guangdong was that there were many people, it was very lively, and it was completely different from the village. "The roaring machine, the production ...... the assembly lineRecalling the first time he went to Guangdong, Zhang Jiayang said that he felt very strange and curious about everything. After working abroad for many years, Zhang Jiayang has constantly enriched himself and learned new skills and abilities. From an assembly line worker, to a clerk. Not only has the income increased, but the work is not as hard as it used to be.
Zhang Jiayang packed his luggage and prepared to return to Dongguan, Guangdong.
Working outside the home has made a big difference to my family. In the first two years, the family built a new house and purchased household appliances, and the quality of life has been greatly improved. Zhang Jiayang is very proud of the changes in her family over the years, she not only helped the family build a new house, buy home appliances, but also bought a tricycle for her mother. "Now every time I come home, my mom comes to town on a tricycle to pick me up. Zhang Jiayang said.
For 2024, Zhang Jiayang is full of expectations, and she has set a small goal for herself: to learn skills and compete for better positions. "I plan to enroll in classes this year to learn purchasing. Now the company's purchasing department is short of people, and the income is relatively high, so I want to try it. Zhang Jiayang said.
