My friend, whenever you go out by train, when the train runs smoothly in the vast Yuan Ye and rolling mountains, have you ever seen a railway maintenance man wearing railway-sized clothes? You know, the smooth running of the train and the safety of passengers depend on these ordinary road maintenance workers. Although their positions and salaries are the lowest, they shoulder great responsibilities. I am such an ordinary railway maintenance worker.
Everyone longs for happiness in life, but even the same person has different knowledge and understanding of happiness in different stages of life and different living environments. Living beside me is a group of railway maintenance workers at the grass-roots level. Their understanding and understanding of happiness is also a feeling and state deeply injected into their hearts.
When I first joined the work, I was also worried about my daily life, sweating like a pig, covered in oil and sweat. But every time I see the happy smile on the master's face after finishing his work every day, I can't understand it. So, I kept asking the masters: What makes you feel this way? Aren't you tired after working all day? At that time, they always smiled mysteriously: you will understand after working for a long time! With this question, I have been working for eight years, but I can't understand the young people who grew up in the city. I am thinking, maybe it is the gap between culture and age. Until one day, I went with our monitor to clear and dig the line, and it was boiling. Our monitor is Guo Jinxiang. He is very diligent. People in our work area affectionately call him "Master Guo". Digging and cooking is a dirty and tiring job. Walking in the hot sun that day, sweat soaked my clothes. Today, due to the tight task, it is necessary to clean up and dig several mud boiling places to keep the line stable when the rainy season comes. I happen to be in a group with Master Guo Jinxiang, and I know that I have difficulties, so I can't help it. I started raking stone slag with a three-toothed rake, but the master picked up a tamping pick and swung it up and down, which was already in full swing. Under his influence, I can only try my best to finish the work independently ... it was already noon 13 when we finished digging. At that time, people were tired and hungry, and the wet clothes were covered with white mud, which was a bit like black and white spots falling into the water. However, when I looked out of the corner of my eye, hoping to see the embarrassment of the master, I was surprised to find that the master also had that kind of happy and satisfied smile on his face. He said happily, "Xiao Li, you are not tired in vain." Look at the line again! " At that moment, I had a feeling of moving. Is this the fulcrum of his happiness? I suddenly understand why all masters are a smile. Because they contain the traditional Chinese virtues of hard work, pragmatism and dedication, and they work in an ordinary and hard environment, but their lofty ideological realm finally explains their happy life.
As the saying goes, "You get what you give, and those who love are loved." Only love lets me know how to give and receive. As a road maintainer from generation to generation, I love railways. Who says happiness is out of reach for us road maintenance people? Who says happiness can only be found in sweet words and wealth? Happiness is neither high nor low, nor hierarchical, and happiness has nothing to do with anything other than happiness. Touch the hot heart under our dark skin, and happiness is here! The cornerstone of this railway.
