The life of a 29-year-old female driver in Hefei: trying to make money to subsidize the family and getting home at 4: 30 in the morning. what do you think?

In the impression of most people, the night is quiet and leisurely, with thousands of lights and neon flashing, but there are such a group of people who work in the dark and are willing to be lonely, working hard in their respective posts and guarding you and me in this city. ...

65438+ 0: 00 in the morning, the night in the block of Huaining Road 19 12 in Hefei is more lively than during the day. In the bustling crowd, some people have just arrived at their cars, some people are drunk and ready to leave ... the strong smell of tobacco, alcohol and powder, the endless stream of cars, and the music from the bar ... There is such a special crowd under the noise. They are riding light and easy-to-carry bicycles, staring at their mobile phones, ready to go to work. They are drunk drivers.

Today we should pay attention to the driving of Didi in Ulan.

From a stay-at-home mother to a driver, although tired, but practical.

When I met Wu Lan, she had just finished the fourth game tonight. Hats and masks mask many feminine features. She only showed half a tired face, and her eyes looked a little dry and even a little deformed. "I just came from the old newspaper office, and there are many people here (on behalf of the driver). How many orders have you received? " Wu Lan is chatting with several drivers nearby.

Seeing that Wu Lan had no bill for the time being, I went forward and chatted with her. After learning the purpose, several drivers next to them also leaned in.

"Master Wu, how old are you this year?"

"29 years old." She answered simply and clearly.

When asked why he chose to be a driver, the most common words in Wu Lan's answer were "children" and "family". Wu Lan said that as a woman, knowing that night shift is risky, she still chooses to be a driver just because of the high time return rate, so that she can make more contributions to her family.

Looking at the lights in the distance, she recalled those hard days. Before, my husband had a stable job and the economic conditions were fairly comfortable. After giving birth to the child, he became a full-time mother at home. Then one day, my husband suddenly lost his job. Within a few months, she had no financial resources, and she was also faced with a monthly mortgage of several thousand yuan, milk powder money for her children, kindergarten tuition ... and she had to go out to work. Later, when she heard from a friend that she had a job like driving, she quickly signed up.

"After doing the driving, the monthly income is ok. Although tired, my heart is steadfast. The biggest debt is the child, who can't sleep with her at night. Sometimes she still looked at me and begged me to stay ... "Wu Lan said, her eyes red.

Gender brings prejudice and "preference", and she is moved by the owner's help to move the car.

Just after chatting for a while, Wu Lan's mobile phone received a new order. After contacting the owner, I found the specific location of the car. The order was placed by a young owner of 19 12. After getting the key from the owner, Wu Lan opened the trunk and carefully put away his folding battery car. Then she opened the car door, put on gloves, laid the mat ... everything was ready, and she started the car.

There are not many female drivers in Hefei, only about 10 registered, and Wu Lan is one of them. Many people are biased against "female drivers", and some car owners will question it when they hear that it is a woman. Wu Lan said, "Since I became a driver, the most frequently heard sentence is' You are a female driver'? There are also car owners who will cancel her order because of gender, but rarely. " In the face of customers' doubts, she will take the initiative to explain that she has received professional training and has 1 1 year driving experience, so she will have no problem driving.

Although biased, she has gained more recognition and care from her master. "Many car owners think that it is not easy for me to be a woman, and they will take the initiative to help me take out a small battery car weighing more than 40 kilograms from the trunk. Some car owners always comfort me not to worry, don't worry, and many car owners think I am excellent and admire me. " Wu Lan said with a smile.

After 30 minutes, the car arrived at its destination. Wu Lan parked the car and gave it to the owner, then took out the small battery car from the trunk and went to the next place to take orders.

I often feel scared on my way home, and it is often dawn when I get home.

Late at night, a woman rode a battery car on a remote road far from the city. Are you scared? "Of course I'm afraid. Sometimes the place to send the master is very biased. When a person comes back, he will turn on the music, turn up the sound as loud as possible, and ride a song all the way back. "

Wu Lan continued to recall, "One morning not long ago, I took a big order and went to Changfeng. When you come back, ride a small battery car to find a car. It was dark there, and the demolished houses around it were covered with weeds, which felt like a horror movie. I finally found a car, and I saw that it was only forty or fifty meters away from me. I just wanted to go through some shabby houses, but I was so scared that I turned my head and rode back to the city. " In Wu Lan's memory, this situation is not much, just a few times.

Seeing that other drivers are ready to call it a day, Wu Lan is still waiting for the order. Wu Lan said that he lives in Yaohai District, which is 4 kilometers away from 19 12 block 14. It takes 1 hour to ride. He often gets home at 4: 30, and it's almost dawn after washing!

A woman, who shuttles through bars, restaurants and KTV every day, has met unreasonable people, people who are drunk and don't give money, people who vomit and abuse, and all kinds of people, but Wu Lan said that what she remembers in her heart is always good and bad, and she will choose to forget it.

Every night at work, Wu Lan drives all kinds of luxury cars or rides his own small battery car through the streets of the city, not only to make a living, but also to deeply feel the temperature of the city. Like her, there are still many people driving for drunk car owners in Hefei. In their minds, every phone call and every car key is a responsibility, because they are "safe midnight ferrymen".

Interviewer's Note: Along the way, I saw many bicycles instead of walking, shuttling through the streets of this city. When I was hungry, I ate two snow cakes. When you are thirsty, take out the cup you carry with you from your backpack. In the cold wind and night, they drove someone else's car and walked home. Some of them are middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, some are young people in their thirties, and some are women who need to support their families like Wu Lan.

Through the dim light of beans, this scenery belongs to people on the road and people who ferry for the city. They send people who can't drive home safely home after others have had enough to eat and drink. They hold the steering wheel, watching other people's sad or happy life fragments in the diffuse smell of wine.
