In the middle of the night on September 9, Sun Haifeng drove his refrigerated box truck to drive out of the high -speed speed from the Longwan Toll Station in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, and went straight to the Jianghui Fruit Wholesale Market. More than 50 hours ago, he set off from Yingkou City, Liaoning Province. In order to make 17 tons of grapes on the car, he rushed all the way, and almost didn't eat a hot meal. This year's Mid -Autumn Festival, Sun Haifeng will spend it alone. Since running a truck 20 years ago, he has never been able to accompany his family to a Mid -Autumn Festival.

"The Mid -Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival are the busiest times when we are the busiest, and make some money at this time."

After arriving at the booth of the fruit market, Sun Haifeng took out a bowl of instant noodles from the cab. This was his second meal that day. A few moon cakes bought at the small supermarket at the market at the market are all his sense of rituals at the time of the Mid -Autumn Festival.

When the Mid -Autumn Festival, when the family reunited, tens of millions of truck drivers were on high -speed, national highway, provincial highway, and county roads across the country. It is precisely because of such a group of people that guarantee the rich meal of the Chinese reunion night. The price is that they cannot reunite with their families.

Reunion night, lonely

On the way to Jiangmen, Sun Haifeng learned that the fruit wholesale market he was going to go was located in Xinhui District. In the Xinhui District, there are local positive cases, which are temporarily controlled and need to be verified 24 hours of nucleic acid negative proof. Sun Haifeng communicated with the cargo owner and confirmed that after unloading the goods normally, the nucleic acid was done on the way. "Prepare everything in advance, just in case." The 20 -year cargo career made him learn cautiously.

In 2002, Sun Haifeng was also planted in rural areas in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. He saw that someone in the village ran a lot of money, so he ran to the "scripture" with a bottle of wine. "After 30 years of living in rural areas, farming, working hard, less information on outside, and less opportunities." Sun Haifeng, who has been honest and honest since he was a child, lives in the countryside step by step, but he has always had a energy in his heart, hoping Strive to change the status quo of life.

So far he still remembers that after he was determined to buy a truck, he and his wife almost traveled to relatives' homes in order to borrow money. "More than 500,000 cars, rural families couldn't get these money at all." Sun Haifeng said that with the support of his wife and family, he finally got enough money to buy a car. The first time I got out of the car was before August 15th of the lunar calendar.

"After buying the car back in early September, I set off." Sun Haifeng recalled the mood at the time. He didn't want to stay at home for a moment, because he bought a car and bears a lot of debts. Through the introduction of the fellow, his trucks often travel to and from Tianjin and Shanghai. "There are many factories in Tianjin. Their goods need to be transported to Shanghai Port and overseas through ships." Because Sun Haifeng is reliable, they can send the goods to their destinations safely and time on time. Therefore, they have met many factory owners. Essence

At that time, there were few people running the truck, and the owner of Sun Haifeng sometimes even line up. In the first year of the running truck, he was on the way to Shanghai. "Sometimes it is to go to the provincial road. There are many people and many people, and the road conditions are complicated. He hurried a phone call at home and said a few words and hung up." From the perspective of Sun Haifeng at the time, compared with reunion, it was most important to let the family live a good life.

Since then, for 20 years, each Mid -Autumn Festival has spent on the road.

Sun Haifeng lamented that in the past 20 years, the Chinese freight market has changed very much, and competition has become increasingly fierce. When he was just running the goods, he bought a truck to make many families do everything, and even borrowed a lot of foreign debt. Now, the new financial models are constantly appearing, and "zero down payment" can loans to buy cars. Low thresholds have led to a large number of newcomers into this industry.

Sun Haifeng spent more than 600,000 yuan to buy refrigerated box trucks to pay back. In addition to some old cargo owners, he will contact him when there is a demand. He also picks up some orders through full transportation and trucks to help such online freight platforms.

Affected by the market environment and the reduction of freight demand, the price of freight in recent years has been much reduced compared to before, and he can only increase profits through multiple orders. In order to rush, he was in the car, and sometimes he couldn't eat a meal a day. All kinds of convenient foods are always prepared in the car. Beckles, instant noodles, and chili sauce are essentials. "I want to sleep when I rest, and I don't care about eating." Sun Haifeng said. Looking at the hometown, your heart is directed

From the year of Li Zhi, Sun Haifeng ran on the road for 20 years, in order to stabilize the wife and children. His son works in his hometown stable. His wife is a teacher in kindergarten. He usually helps his son and daughter -in -law to bring the child -grandson 5 years old, and the granddaughter is full of age.

The increase in family members has made Sun Haifeng more motivated. In his own words, he retired until the 60 -year -old driver's license was downgraded. "Earn some money for children, and live a more comfortable life." Speaking of family, Sun Haifeng's tired face showed a warm and joyful smile. The deep crow's feet in the corner of the eyes looked like a small flower, and the white hair of double hair also seemed to look like Handicapped.

The granddaughter's year -old banquet is scheduled to be at the beginning of September. The child's ritual is full of weekly rituals. It is important in Sun Haifeng's hometown. Grandpa and grandma must be present. He initially calculated that he could pass through Cangzhou from Yingkou to Jiangmen. He went home to accompany his family for lunch to celebrate his birthday with his children. "Later, I even thought, even if I went back, I just met the children."

But many times I can't help but make a decision by themselves. After receiving the goods at Yingkou, due to cases in Jiangmen, the owner urged him to reach Jiangmen as soon as possible. There are grapes on the car. The storage cycle is short. If you delay a little more time, the grapes may lose more. He had to give up the idea of ​​going home. "My son and daughter -in -law are also considerate of me, and comfort me, so that I don't have to be sad." Sun Haifeng said that in the past 20 years, the average time at home is less than one month at home, and even his wife and children are sick. I have a lot of regrets.

From the second day of the New Year's Eve to the present, for more than 8 months, Sun Haifeng only returned to the house twice, and each time he stopped for a short time.

On weekdays, Sun Haifeng could only meet his family through a video. When he saw the smile of the children and family on the screen, he felt not so tired.

After two days of stopping in Jiangmen, Sun Haifeng unloaded the grapes on the car, and found a car from Guangzhou to Maoming through the full platform. He decided to set off from Jiangmen immediately and run to Guangzhou to pick up the goods. "This time it is transported vegetables. Before the Mid -Autumn Festival, fruits and vegetables are all sought -after goods. You can earn more." Sun Haifeng talked about his plans.

Because it is a fresh -transported goods, Sun Haifeng is very familiar with the industry belts of various domestic agricultural products, and a map has been formed in his mind. He remembers the product seasonal and categories corresponding to different places, and the line is familiar.

In January and February of each year, Sun Haifeng rushed to all parts of Shandong Province early, where many places were planted in greenhouses, and a large number of spinach and celery were transported to Guangzhou through a refrigerated box truck. Guangzhou has Guangzhou Jiangnan fruit and vegetable wholesale market as one of the most fruits and vegetables in Southeast Asia. When the vegetables are transported here, Sun Haifeng's truck will be filled with vegetables such as pepper, eggplant, tomatoes and other vegetables to Hainan. Sun Haifeng said that the fire dragon fruit in Hainan has grown up every month. After assembling the dragon fruit locally, he went to Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and other places. Then look for the cycle and continue to return to Guangzhou in the north. Until July and August, the grapes and peaches in the north grew up, and he pulled the fruits in the north to Guangzhou, with some vegetables in the Guangzhou Jiangnan fruit and vegetable wholesale market to continue to Hainan and Yunnan. Until 9 October, the harvest of fruits such as grapes and oranges in Yunnan, he carried these fruits directly to the north, pulled winter dates or vegetables from Shandong and then went south.

Repeated every year, like migratory bird migration. "Turning in different places throughout the year, they have awareness or even familiarity with specialty products from various places, but their families are familiar but strange." Sun Haifeng said with emotion.

Due to the epidemic in the past two years, many places will be temporarily controlled. He has avoided some epidemic cities and loaded the goods by virtue of the outbreak cities on the cargo platforms such as full of transportation and trucks. "It is mainly that the information is much s better than before, so it will take less detours."

Sun Haifeng said that after he arrived at Maoming this time, he might go to Jiangsu. Because there would be a lot of owners who shipped the goods on the day of the Mid -Autumn Festival, he would go to Jiangsu to touch his luck. As for the next stop of Jiangsu, he hasn't thought about it, because after the small peak of the Mid -Autumn Festival, he may usher in a wave of off -season. He must judge the next itinerary according to the needs of the owner. Maybe go to Guangxi or Hubei or Northeast.

But no matter where he went, he was still alone and hurried to the road. Right now, the lonely truck is on the wide high -speed road, and the sound of the "Looking Hometown" in the sound, Sun Haifeng involuntarily hummed.
