In recent years, there have been many high-rise buildings in Yuxi, roads are wide, streets have become more rampant, and many migrant workers have shoe-shoeed on the streets. They come from rural areas and do not have special skills and a fixed residence. They rely on shoes to maintain a simple life.
Do not get paid for work with the boss
The 30-year-old Li Yuehua was from Guizhou. In 2003, he followed his boss to work in Yuxi. He said that bosses often default on wages and that they have not received any salary for several months now.
In desperation, he decided to take shoes on the street. "My friends said that it's a good job to shine shoes here. Just come on with them. Now it's an average of more than 30 yuan a day. It's better than helping others do things but not getting the money." Here, he looks a little angry.
In order to eat food
Yang Fangqin came from Zhaotong and rented a house in the city. Her husband worked outside and had little income at home. She came out to work and make money.
Like most shoe-worker migrant workers, Yang Fangqin finished the shoe box at 7:00 in the morning and came to the numerous north and south street sections. Her tools are simple: two stools, two shoe brushes, three boxes of shoe polish, and a shoe box. When asked how to bring more things, her answer was very simple: "It's easy to run." She said that the relevant departments often come here to check things out. It's much easier to run things.
Just said, to today's first customer, "How much do you want to wipe? From 1 yuan to 10 yuan have." She said on the one hand, very experienced to give customers the introduction of different prices of shoe polish, After talking about the price, he rubbed it up skillfully. She said: "The shoe polish used is not the same, the price is different, and some people are willing to pay more and wipe it."
12 o'clock noon lunch time, but did not see them eat. In order to save some money, most of them do not eat at lunch. "Eat more in the morning and go home at night to eat. We are used to it," said a shoe polisher. "What about the child?" the reporter asked. "Like adults, it's enough to bring more snacks to them."
In addition to shoeshine or shoeshine
When asked what he wanted to do in addition to shoeshine, Yang Fangqin’s eyes looked a little confused. “In addition to shoeshine or shoeshine, we came from the countryside. There was no special craft. Other things couldn’t be done, only rubbing. Shoes are relatively simple."
