In the middle of the night, on the road in the wilderness of the third watch, a large truck quietly stopped.
Miao Huiling in the car is like a vigilant cat, her eyes are rolling slightly, for fear of missing any suspicious movements.
Why did this ordinary rural woman from Gansu become a "sister-in-law"?
What's even more amazing is that she and her husband Lao Yang are willing to live in an "iron box" of less than 6 square meters!
From a small shop owner to the hostess of a 49-ton heavy truck, the couple's 19-year "road drifting" life is simply a realistic version of "Fast and Furious"!
But who would have thought that they would be fighting wits and courage with the "gas guzzler" every day?
Speaking of Miao Huiling and Lao Yang's "road drifting" life, we have to start from 2003.
At that time, Miao Huiling ran a small clothing store in Gaotai County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province.
To say that it is a business is actually messing around, and the business is as cold as a polar bear.
Lao Yang works as a driver in a freight company, and his monthly salary is only a pitiful 600 yuan.
That's not even enough money to buy a bottle of soy sauce, let alone support a family.
In order to earn more money, he also planted some land, and he could earn about 1,000 yuan per mu a year.
Although the days do not gnaw on the soil, they are also tight, and they often can't open the pot at the end of the month.
Seeing that Lao Yang was as tired as a dog every day, but he could only get this salary, his relatives and friends persuaded him to do it himself.
Lao Yang is also itching in his heart, but the question is where does the money to buy a car come from?
Finally, in 2003, the two made up their minds, emptied all their savings, borrowed 80,000 yuan, and bought a second-hand truck.
This doesn't mean that you just buy it, but the two of them have been careful for several years!
After buying a car, Miao Huiling wanted to follow Lao Yang to run a car.
But his son Xiaokang is only seven years old, and it is the time when he needs his mother.
Miao Huiling is entangled, just as uncomfortable as a cat scratching her heart.
In the end, she discussed with her brother, who agreed to help take care of Xiaokang.
Miao Huiling thought about it for two whole months, and finally made up her mind to break into the world with Lao Yang.
In July 2003, Miao Huiling went out with Lao Yang for the first time.
The destination was Lhasa, Tibet, and the car was full of pigs.
Before leaving, Miao Huiling was also worried about altitude sickness and prepared an oxygen bag.
As a result, Lao Yang patted his chest and said that there was no problem, and Miao Huiling believed it.
Who knew that as soon as she arrived on the plateau, Miao Huiling was uncomfortable.
When I woke up the next day, my face was swollen like a bun, and I was dizzy and vomited.
It's good that altitude sickness comes faster than lightning.
Miao Huiling regretted that her intestines were blue, thinking that this blind confidence was really not a good thing.
The weather was capricious along the way, and Miao Huiling also caught a cold.
encountered a traffic jam in Wudaoliang and was stuck in a traffic jam for a whole day.
When she sleeps at night, Miao Huiling's nose suddenly flows out of a warm liquid.
She thought it was a cold, wiped it and fell asleep.
The next day, I was shocked to see that it was blood!
This altitude sickness is really ruthless enough, and it chokes people enough.
Although it was the height of summer, in order to take care of the pigs, they had to stop and check every part of their walk.
After all, only when the pig arrives safely can you get the full freight!
Miao Huiling also ignored her physical discomfort and helped Lao Yang take care of the pigs and water them to cool down.
There are many potholes on this road, and many highways are still being repaired.
Traffic jams became commonplace, and such days lasted for eight days.
Both the man and the pig were tossed and exhausted, and the goods were finally delivered.
On the way back, Miao Huiling's altitude sickness finally improved, and her mood was much lighter.
But the good times didn't last long, and he encountered a serious car accident in Wudaoliang.
Seven or eight cars collided and rolled down the hillside, and the scene was terrible.
Miao Huiling trembled with fright, and she couldn't sleep on this road anymore.
After this trip, Miao Huiling deeply experienced the hard work of truck drivers.
She was glad that she came with Lao Yang, if she let him drive alone, it would be a big risk.
After experiencing the first long journey, Miao Huiling truly experienced the bitterness of truck drivers.
But who would have thought that she would live such a life for 19 years!
Speaking of their "moving castle", it is really a small sparrow, but it has all kinds of organs.
The entire cab is less than 6 square meters, and the width of the upper and lower sleepers is less than 90 centimeters.
Behind the front two seats is their "bedroom".
The upper bunk was piled with daily necessities, and the lower bunk was where they took turns resting.
Although the space is small, for Miao Huiling and Lao Yang, this is their warm second home.
Every time I go out of the car, eat, drink, and sleep, I solve it all in the car, like a snail carrying a shell.
Take a shower and wash clothes? That would have to wait until the service area.
When it comes to eating, it's a university question.
A meal in the service area costs at least 30 yuan, which is not a small amount.
In order to save money, Miao Huiling chose to cook by herself in the car.
Don't say it's a technical job.
From washing vegetables to mixing noodles in the cab, the scene is simply an acrobatic performance.
Miao Huiling put a storage box in the car, which was full of pots and pans.
When she cooks, she puts the babies neatly on the sleeper.
Stir-frying must be carried out when the car is driving, otherwise the smoke will not be dispersed, and the smell can smoke to death.
Such a meal had to be tossed for nearly 3 hours.
Think about cooking on a bumpy road, the taste is like "the road on the tip of the tongue"!
In order to go to the toilet less, the two of them usually drink little water.
Only when resting, do you dare to take a few sips.
The service area became their "temporary home".
Here they can meet other drivers, exchange ideas and cook a meal together.
Those simple kitchen utensils are in the hands of the sisters-in-law, which is simply a trick, and it has become a delicacy.
This taste is no worse than a 5 star hotel!
Summer is the hardest, hot and humid, and there are many mosquitoes.
The water on the bus is very precious, and it can only be washed happily when you arrive at the service area.
Winter is a "nightmare" for truck drivers.
As soon as I got out of the car, it was more than ten days, and I didn't even have the opportunity to take a shower and change clothes.
When I got home, I didn't want to mention how "intoxicating" it was.
But the most troublesome thing is those damn "gas guzzlers".
A tank of gas in a big truck is worth thousands!
The oil thieves hunt for the wilderness.
You can drain a whole tank of oil in two minutes, which is faster than magic!
In order to prevent thieves, they can only sleep on the fuel tank in turns at night.
At one point they met a dozen "gas guzzlers" with weapons.
Fortunately, Miao Huiling woke up Lao Yang in time and quickly drove away to escape.
This kind of worrying day is simply more exciting than a spy war movie!
Speaking of the life of a truck driver, it is really a bittersweet experience.
It's hard work, but it's also a lot of fun.
On the way, they saw all the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
From the snowy plateau to the desert Gobi, from the bustling city to the remote mountain village.
I'm afraid some people won't see these scenery for the rest of their lives!
And the couple get along day and night, and their relationship is getting deeper and deeper.
In this 6-square-meter world, they support each other and work together.
This feeling is sweeter than honey and harder than steel!
Speaking of Miao Huiling and Lao Yang, it is not all sweet.
What makes them sad the most is that they get together less and leave more with their son.
Before each departure, Xiaokang would take out a map and carefully mark the itinerary for his parents.
The little face was full of anticipation, as if to say, "Mom and Dad, I'm waiting for you at home!" "
Miao Huiling saw her son's diary, and her tears almost didn't hold back.
I saw that it read: "Dear Mom and Dad, today you arrived in Lanzhou, I drew a circle on the map..."
The words are full of thoughts and concerns.
Miao Huiling had mixed feelings in her heart, and a sense of guilt came like a tide.
She is too busy with work to spend time with her children, which is her biggest regret.
Every time there is a short reunion, Xiaokang is always reluctant, crying and not letting his mother go.
Once Miao Huiling drove to a highway intersection and suddenly received a phone call.
Xiaokang on the other end of the phone cried breathlessly and begged his mother to go home with him.
Miao Huiling didn't say a word, turned around and drove home.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiaokang hugged her tightly and cried like a tearful person.
When the child's mood stabilized, Xiaokang suddenly said: "Mom, you better go back, I know that Dad will worry about driving alone." "
Hearing this, Miao Huiling's heart was about to break, and the child's being so sensible made her feel even more guilty.
As time passed, Xiaokang gradually stopped crying and began to understand and support his parents' work.
But the longing for his parents has always been with him.
In his daily notebook, he always wrote down what he wanted to say to his parents.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xiaokang has grown up and become a knowledgeable graduate student.
Watching her son's growth, Miao Huiling felt both proud and a little sour.
is proud of his son's sensible and excellent; It's sour, I missed too much time with him.
Speaking of which, Miao Huiling's father once wanted to go to Beijing to have fun.
She has been waiting for a suitable opportunity to take her father to realize this dream.
It's a pity that life is sometimes so impermanent.
Once they went to Xinjiang to deliver goods, and as soon as they arrived at the Hami section of the Tianshan region, the signal was cut off.
Two hours later, a phone call came from home to say that my father had died suddenly at the age of 63.
This bad news came too suddenly, and Miao Huiling was stunned on the spot.
She never imagined that her father's wish would never come true.
At that moment, the remorse in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
If I had taken my father to Beijing earlier, if I had accompanied my father more...
But there is no regret medicine in this world, so she can only move on with tears in her eyes.
This incident touched Miao Huiling a lot.
She began to cherish the time she spent with her family more and balance work and family as much as possible.
Although she can't be there all the time, she will make up for it with more love and care.
Every time she goes home, she will bring some interesting little gifts to Xiaokang.
It could be a specialty of a city passing by, or a novelty you saw in a service area.
Although it is worthless, it is full of the love of parents.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Miao Huiling and Lao Yang have been running on the highway for 19 years.
Over the years, they have witnessed the vicissitudes of China's logistics industry.
I still remember that in 2010, they sold their old car and took out a loan of 250,000 yuan to buy a 49-ton semi-trailer.
At that time, the business was booming, and the annual income easily exceeded 100,000 yuan.
Miao Huiling and Lao Yang were happy in their hearts, and felt that their days were finally coming to an end.
But who would have thought that the good times would not last long!
With the development of the Internet, the competition in the freight industry is becoming more and more fierce.
There are more and more drivers running transportation, but the number of customer orders has not increased.
What's worse is that all kinds of shipping software have sprung up like mushrooms.
There are fewer and fewer customers looking for drivers offline, but there are more and more people competing for business with everyone.
In order to grab the job, the drivers began to fight a price war, and the freight rate was reduced again and again.
Miao Huiling and Lao Yang's incomes also plummeted, and life began to tighten again.
Faced with such a situation, the couple did not sit still.
They wondered if they should get a car to transport dangerous goods.
After all, the cost of transporting dangerous goods is high, and many drivers dare not touch it.
But this work is also very risky, and the slightest carelessness can lead to a catastrophe.
Miao Huiling still remembers the frightening moment when overtaking.
In a hurry, she drove over a car, and as a result, due to improper operation, a collision occurred.
The driver of the sedan was not lightly injured, and all three ribs were broken.
In the end, it took 90,000 yuan to settle the settlement, and I still have palpitations when I think about it.
In addition to security issues, they also have to deal with all kinds of difficulties.
Some unloaders are always looking for faults, and they have to be given water or cigarettes by the driver to do their jobs.
If you don't give it, you will be stumped, and the quantity of goods will be used to do it.
Miao Huiling will compromise most of the time and spend a little money to settle things.
But when she encounters something particularly excessive, she will also be tough to the end and count the goods by herself.
After all, it's hard enough to run transportation, so why should you suffer from this?
Despite the difficulties, Miao Huiling and Lao Yang did not give up.
They know that as long as they keep going, things will always come to light.
Now they are considering whether to transform and take on more technical transportation tasks.
Maybe it's the transportation of precision instruments, maybe it's the cold chain logistics, in short, it is necessary to develop in a more professional direction.
Miao Huiling often said to Lao Yang: "Our experience over the years is not in vain, and we can always find a new way out." "
They are also actively learning new technologies and researching the use of various shipping apps.
Although it is a bit difficult to learn when they are older, they never give up.
Miao Huiling said with a smile that she and Lao Yang are "old drivers" and "new drivers", and they must keep pace with the times.
Looking back on the 19-year "road drifting" career, Miao Huiling is full of emotion.
They missed a lot, but they also gained a lot.
Looking at their son Xiaokang and becoming a talent, looking at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, they feel that everything is worth it.
Miao Huiling often said: "We have tasted the ups and downs along the way, but the most important thing is that we have always been together." "
Yes, no matter how rough the road ahead is, as long as two people hold hands, there is nothing to be afraid of.
They are like signposts on the road, unknown but guiding countless people.
This "truck man" couple interprets the meaning of perseverance and struggle in their own way.
Their stories are the epitome of thousands of ordinary laborers, ordinary yet great.
On this road with no end in sight, they will continue to march forward to meet every dawn.
