　　In the early morning after the rain of the valley, it was warm and cold at first.

　　While most citizens were still in their sleep, the Lingdatang Lingong Distribution Center in Hefei City became lively. Every morning at 5 o'clock, a large-scale temporary work team gathered here and began to plan for a day's livelihood. Their eyes were like radar, scanning the passing vehicles on the road. From time to time, employers parked the car on the roadside. , Put his head out of the window, and after a brief conversation, took the nearest temporary worker around the car door to work.

Waiting for the temporary workers

　　Ling Datang Lingong Distribution Center is the first public welfare platform in Hefei City that specializes in "Road Road Workers". Since 2014, it has become a "home" for many workers. Every morning, more than 1,000 workers are gathered here. 75% of people will find a job on the same day. But this time the epidemic has changed a lot.

　　On April 22, at 5:35 in the morning, Zhang Xiaoqin from Anqing, Anhui, like tens of thousands of temporary workers in this city, came to the Lingdatang Lingong Distribution Center in Lingfei, Hefei City early to find a job.

　　"This year's job is hard to find. I came here for luck." Four years ago, Zhang Xiaoqin quit her job at the old garment factory. A family of four came to Hefei. In order to study for two children, she had to work two jobs. But the meagre wages in the supermarket make this family of four unsustainable.

　　Working in the supermarket, Zhang Xiaoqin has six days of rest a month, and she will come out to do temporary work during the rest. She smiled and said: I just want to spend some pocket money. If the market in previous years was good, I would do work almost every day. This year's market is not good.

　　Zhang Xiaoqin told reporters that she is a strong person and does not like to stay at home every day. If you are idle, she will feel very anxious. "It takes seven or eight hundred to rent a house for a month. The family is hanging there. They spend money every day. It is not enough not to earn a little pocket money."

Temporary scanning of safety code

　　Through the noisy crowd, Li Changai, Bozhou, Anhui, had a twists and turns. After the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic was controlled, he first came to Hefei, and then went to Fujian, Guangxi and other places, but affected by the epidemic The construction site has not been started for a long time, and he can only return to Hefei in the end.

The staff takes the temperature for temporary work

　　This time, Li Changai threw another empty space ... In the five days back to Hefei, he only did two days of work. Not working hard, anxious, did not eat breakfast.

　　"The two children in the family got married and borrowed a lot of money. The son borrowed a car to buy a car. He also needs more than 2,000 car loans a month, and the money owed must be paid back to others." Li Changai squatted back and forth with the tool bag in his hand, and he did not expect that the epidemic would have such a lasting impact on his work. Before the epidemic, he could find a job almost every day. He could earn more than 200 yuan a day by tying steel bars. If he worked on small jobs and miscellaneous jobs on the construction site, he would earn more than 100 a day.

　　"I hope to start work early, and those enterprises affected by the epidemic can resume work, so that those of us in Ling Datang can find work, earn money, and send the money back to their families. My biggest wish "" Li Changai said.

　　Master Han, a contractor, has been working here for 15 years. He often organizes temporary jobs to find work. "During the epidemic, many communities did not feed their homes. The community's work is not easy to do now. People will report as soon as the machine sounds. They can bring up to four or five hundred people a day. Now they can only take an average of more than a dozen people a day. Today, I brought six of them, all of them electricians. This year there are too few jobs. Many places are not started and no work is done. "

　　People live more and live less, and need temporary workers to observe the six ways and listen to all directions. Cui Yanhua from Changchun, Jilin, chatted with her sisters about her daily life and looked at the road from time to time. She knew that the employer ’s vehicle might come at any time, and she had to "catch" it as quickly as possible.

　　Cui Yanhua said: "I wait here at more than five o'clock every day. At the construction site, I do the odd jobs, clean the sanitation, do the cleaning, and do whatever I can. I used to earn more than 10,000 yuan from the 18th of January to now. This year Only earned more than two thousand dollars, "

　　Cui Yanhua's family of three are all temporary workers, and have been in Hefei for four or five years. She told reporters that last year was very good. She alone made more than 40,000 yuan last year. This year was caused by the epidemic and it is difficult to find a life. She has worked for more than half a month before and after. I have not returned to my hometown in Northeast China for several years.

　　"How much does it cost to go back! I can't bear the money." Cui Yanhua told reporters that she still had a day's work on New Year's Day this year, and she couldn't go out to work after the outbreak. Because she usually has a good relationship with these elder sisters (other women of the same age), if you have a job, everyone will look after each other. "

　　Hard hats, tool bags, labor protection shoes, large portable cups ... This is the standard equipment for living workers such as Ling Da Tang Lin Gong Distribution Center Road in Hefei City. The temporary workers gathered in the distribution center also brought business to Master Zhao, who sold labor protection tools. As the epidemic was effectively controlled, Master Zhao's business gradually improved.

　　"The epidemic has caused a lot of temporary work not to work, my stuff is not easy to sell, it has a great impact on us, and the income is much less. The peak period is about an hour every day, there is a flow of 2,000 or 2,000 people here, Now it ’s less than half. ”Zhao said, now that the flow of people has gradually increased, and other vendors in the distribution center have also come out to set up stalls one after another.

Temporary workers waiting for work

　　Contrary to the deserted distribution center, the staff of Ling Datang Lingong Distribution Center in Hefei has nonstop phone calls and WeChat every day.

　　"Minister Wu, have any companies come to recruit workers in these two days?" "Minister Wu, can I go to a record tomorrow?" "Minister Wu, when can the construction site start?" ...

　　Minister Wu in the Lingongkou is Wu Guojun, the head of the Linggtang Lingong Distribution Center Office in Hefei City. According to its introduction, in the past, the distribution center gathered about 1,000 temporary workers every day, and 75% of them could find work. Now there are about 200 temporary workers here every day, and the employment rate is about 25%. "Although there are gaps, I can see more and more temporary workers are 'shaking hands' with the employers, and more and more temporary workers are feeling the warmth of the 'center' family."

Temporary workers waiting for work

　　"The distribution center is awesome, but we dare not stop working. My colleagues and I quickly sorted out the information of the more than 200 companies and individual employers that we often contact, called each other to learn about their resumption of work and possible projects and projects this year. The number of employees is required. "Wu Guojun said that most of the workers in the distribution center are bricklayers, and most of the work options are on the construction site. Considering the impact of the epidemic, many construction sites have not started, and the distribution center has expanded the contact channels. Nanny, cleaning, security, logistics, factory short-term workers and other related industries have also started to connect.

The dealers in the distribution center gradually increased

　　It is understood that the most one day, 6 employees of the distribution center received an average of 80 calls per person. Although psychological preparations have been made, but after hearing the news that one enterprise after another has not resumed work, the psychology is getting heavier.

　　At the same time, Wu Guojun and the staff of the distribution center also dialed more than 3,600 calls to advise temporary workers to change the direction of job search positions, enter the factory to do short-term work, short-term cleaning, short-term security and so on.

　　Wu Guojun said that the temperature in the distribution center is "rising" slowly. On March 13, the number of job seekers exceeded 200 for the first time. "On this day, we used the" provision of work sharing "mode, docked with 5 domestic workers, one-to-one, one-stop reception workers to work. When the van came in, my eyes were a little wet ..."
