The camera records the day when Dada's delivery staff is not closed during the Spring Festival

The year

is approaching, and the air is full of feelings of return. Nothing can stop the Chinese people from going home for the New Year, but as much happiness and reunion, there are as many hard-working guards. There is always a group of people who have given up family gatherings just to better guard the lights of the city in the New Year. This time, we set our sights on the delivery staff, and recorded the two "North Drift" Dada knights who stood by their posts during the Spring Festival with camera and text, a day before closing time.

Dada Knight: Zhang Dongdong

30 years old, from Hefei, Anhui Province

drifted north for ten years, Dada Knights fourth year, the fourth year of the Spring Festival not going home

"Nine to Nine", weekends in Beijing before

, or Not soft down.

January 27, the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. Temperature -5℃~7℃, northwest wind 3-4, cloudy to fine.

Early in the morning, the wind around 0°C blew on the face, making it a blush. The wind drilled into the gaps in the clothes, and it hurts for a long time. 8 o'clock in the morning is Zhang Dongdong's wake-up time, and he usually leaves before 9 o'clock. It is later than ordinary white-collar workers to go out, but Zhang Dongdong does not have the so-called "commuting distance" and "commuting time". He starts to work when he goes out. The range of activities is usually within a radius of 10 kilometers, and he does not finish work until 9 pm. His job is on the road.

(Zhang Dongdong, 30 years old, ten years of drifting north, the fourth year of the Gandada Knights, is about to usher in the fourth Spring Festival without going back to his hometown.)

At 9 am, Zhang Dongdong bought a pancake in a pancake shop. 7 yuan. He took a big bite while walking, and hurriedly finished the remaining half in the electric car for three minutes. Did not drink a sip of water. "After drinking at home, I usually drink a cup of hot water before going out." Zhang Dongdong explained that he doesn't drink much water in winter, so I only use the toilet in the morning. Usually around 2 pm, at lunch time, he will drink the second glass of water in the day.

cell phone, power bank and key, put in the small bag on the chest, this is the equipment for going out. Only one glove is worn. For the convenience of cycling and mobile phone operation, do not wear the right hand. "Ding Ding!" From time to time, the mobile phone received new orders. Zhang Dongdong was very sensitive to this sound. He habitually looked down at the screen when the mobile phone rang. He only has a work cell phone, but he can pick up forty or fifty orders a day. He summed up his experience: how to efficiently "grab" orders, not only rely on eyesight and quick hands, but also have a living map in mind.

Each Dada knight has its own ordering strategy and style. Zhang Dongdong said that his style is "guerrilla warfare". Wherever he goes, he will receive it in one direction, and he will send several orders in one trip, which can be delivered on time. , And can take more orders. His battlefield is concentrated within a radius of 10 kilometers from Fengtai Caoqiao. This area is clear to him. So far, he has completed a total of 15,744 orders, with a 100% punctuality rate, and he has "refined" it bit by bit by walking through the streets.

broke three electric vehicles

in the three years and half-right at 10 am, Zhang Dongdong ushered in the weekend’s "morning peak", and people began to place orders to prepare lunch ingredients. The "ding and ding" sounds of mobile phones came and went, and he quickly swiped the screen to browse and filter.

Zhang Dongdong usually receives more orders from supermarkets. The nearby supermarkets, convenience stores, fresh food stores and pharmacies are all his frequent pick-up points. Every day, nearby residents continue to place orders for daily fresh medicines through online shopping platforms such as JD Daojia. He is responsible for delivering them to the door within one hour.

took the delivery bag in the supermarket handover area. Zhang Dongdong did not rush away. Scanning and checking is a necessary "acceptance" link. "The supermarket list must be checked especially for any omissions or gifts. Not only does it matter, but also the number of pieces. For example, whether it is a bottle of beer or a beer, you can't make a mistake." After the confirmation, Zhang Dongdong grabbed a few big bags and walked out, walking fast, and it was difficult for us to keep up with him.

put the bag into the special box in the back seat of the electric car. He quickly started the car and went straight to the next pharmacy. After taking the medicine, the navigation in his mind will light up the destination in turn from near to far. No matter whether the delivery location is at a construction site, a residential building or an office building, Zhang Dongdong can accurately find it and deliver it on time.

Over the past three years, he has broken three electric cars, and on average, he has replaced one new car a year. No way, this job is too costly-on average, electric cars have to run at least 120 kilometers per day. The latest electric car of

cost 5,000 yuan, which is not a small expense. Zhang Dongdong's rent is only 1,000 yuan a month, a bungalow, the kind without heating. 5000 yuan is enoughHe has lived with his girlfriend for 5 months. Zhang Dongdong can understand: "The bad car will affect the order, and it will affect the income." He bought a house in the home town of Hefei, Anhui Province, with a loan of 500,000 yuan, and it had to be repaid for 11 years, 3,500 yuan per month. Order remuneration is calculated according to the distance. If the distance is close, you will earn less than 10 yuan per order. This means that every day he opens his eyes to receive more than a dozen orders before he can make up enough money for the mortgage. A user of

placed a large order, and the bag was full of fruits, vegetables, and chilled. After entering the gate of the community, the security guard stopped the car and the electric car was not allowed to enter. Zhang Dongdong stopped the car, picked up the big bag and walked fast, pedaling up to the fifth floor. Knocking on the door, an old lady took the bag and said thank you. "You're welcome. Bingpin, don't forget to put in the refrigerator." Zhang Dongdong said, with a smile on his honest face.

"Most users are pretty good, and they will say thank you." He said that some time ago, there was a big brother in his 50s and 60s with inconvenient legs and legs. He wanted to entertain guests at noon. He bought vegetables from JD.com. He delivered the food in less than 30 minutes, but the other party stopped him and didn't let him go. He turned around and gave him a red envelope of 20 yuan. "It feels good."

hasn't gone home for the New Year in four years, just to make more money

"Our family is financially difficult, so I want to make more money." Zhang Dongdong was blunt about not going home for the New Year. , First of all, out of economic considerations. After graduating from junior high school and drifting in the north for ten years, Zhang Dongdong helped relatives sell clothes, opened a shop by himself, and was tricked into entering MLM in Changsha. "The family bankrupted, desperately desperate, and returned to Beijing."

Zhang Dongdong said, becoming a Dada knight and living There is a new beginning and new hope. "Doing business is used to the free way of working. The knights of Gandada are very good. You will earn more if you work hard. You will get income as long as you work hard. You can see the results of your labor every day." Since the end of 2015 Gandada, Zhang Dongdong Just turn on the work mode of wheel rotation, and rarely take a full day off, because the number of orders on weekends is more than usual, and the weekend is busier. Usually his monthly income can reach more than 8,000 yuan. From the first day to the seventh day of last year, he took all orders and earned 5,000 yuan.

Zhang Dongdong has not been home for the New Year for three consecutive years, and this year will continue as usual. He bought new year goods for the elderly and nephews at home and sent them home. The mortgage has been paid for the fourth year, and the days are getting more and more hopeful.

He loves Beijing from the bottom of his heart, "Beijing is very good, but the pressure is too great." For the future, Zhang Dongdong doesn't have too many lofty wishes, so he wants to earn more money while he is still young. He summed it up himself: "There is no brilliance that comes out, only the splendor that comes out of hard work." Over the past three years of distribution career, he knows more about "tired and happy" to make money with his own hands.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Dongdong bought 6 sesame cakes on the side of the road, one for 80 yuan, which was regarded as lunch. The orders received in the morning are not too many. He plans to run in the afternoon, especially the "evening peak" in the evening on weekends. Waving goodbye to us, this WeChat signature and avatar are both "the original dream will definitely arrive" young man, he drove into the vast traffic in a blink of an eye, and continued to chase his dream on the road.

In less than an hour, Liu Dong had already delivered a bag of documents and a mention of coffee. In every link, he runs in small steps, including pushing an electric car weighing hundreds of kilograms up and down the flyover and climbing stairs. To us marveling at his fast walking up and down, Liu Dong said that he was used to climbing the stairs every day, often climbing the sixth floor with three or four buckets of water in both hands. "If something sinks, you can take it once. Who will run twice? What a waste of time." He said.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was windy, and the sky was completely dark. The red lanterns were reflected on the faces of the night returnees in the city, a bit warm and tired.

​​Liu Dong returned home after a busy afternoon. His wife, who was resting at home on the weekend, cooked two dishes for him: dry stir-fried beans and pork with garlic sprouts. He ate the steamed buns very fragrantly. The son is playing around. This is the only hour that the whole family can sit down and communicate. At other times, Liu Dong could only come and go in a hurry.

The wife couldn’t help but "Tucao": "How can it not be hard? Every day I go out at 8 am and come back at 10 pm. I have to go to work at noon. He cooks his own noodles to eat, rests for half an hour and leaves. If the dinner is on the way, just leave. I came back for dinner and stayed for less than an hour and went out again. I don’t have a rest on weekends and I have to go out to run if I caught a cold. Even on the first day of the New Year, I have to go out to pick up a few orders. My only hobby was playing mahjong. , There is no time."

This year's New Year's Day, a family of three can hardly get out skating and eating out. This is Liu Dong's only leisure and entertainment in six months. Arriving home after dinner, Liu Dong thought it was early, so let's take a few orders. At 7 or 8 at night, his wife received a call from Liu Dong, saying that the switch of the electric car had suddenly broken, and there were five orders in hand, several kilometers away from the destination. "I said you want to take a taxi to someone else? He said, that taxi money won't be paid back. And the car is left on the side of the road, what should I do if someone takes the battery?" Finally, Liu Dong pushed the car to one by one. Goods, then push the cart home. When I got home, sweat soaked the cotton clothes. He sat on the sofa and couldn't say a word.

Gandada Knight has been three years, Liu Dong has not returned home during these three Spring Festivals. He explained that New Year’s tickets are hard to buy and the roads are crowded. Generally, he and his wife and children will go back to their hometown to visit the elderly and daughter in the summer. For orders received during the Spring Festival, the Dada platform also has an incentive mechanism. The more orders are received, the more generous the rewards will be. This Spring Festival, he will continue to stay in Beijing, where he has been struggling for six years, eating New Year’s Eve dinner with his wife and son in the evening, and delivering to thousands of households during the day as usual.

"In 2019, I will work hard and save money. It is a little bit to earn more." Liu Dong said that the job of Gandada Knight is very good. If you pay, you will pay off. You can earn more if you work hard. Moreover, the delivery person in the same city is to run errands for inconvenient people, and can provide services to people in need. He is also very happy, "Especially people with inconveniences and elderly people who are willing to help. To me It's a matter of effort." He always remembered that at the hottest last summer, he gave something to an old lady. Seeing him sweating profusely after climbing the sixth floor, the old lady handed him a cup of mung bean soup and said, "Young man, relieve the heat." The taste of that cup of mung bean soup, Liu Dongji up to now. "Most users are very good, but there are some people who are not very reasonable. I hope that everyone can understand each other and think differently." Liu DongSay.
