After receiving the order, ride the battery car to the vegetable market.
Half a catty of leek (tender), half a catty of Shanghai food, a radish (braised) ... Yesterday morning 10, I checked the "menu" and immediately sent it to the home of 94-year-old Wen Laobo after confirming that everything was bought. The reporter learned that Ji from Yancheng is currently working as a doorman in No.55, Changxiang, Xishan, Suzhou. In addition to work, Ji receives several such purchasing "menus" every day. He has been doing it for 65,438+05 years, but he has never confiscated a penny. Ji said that his clients are elderly people who are inconvenient to live in the community or nearby, and he is happy to do something for them. After years of silent dedication, Ji was awarded the title of outstanding volunteer in gusu district and model of caring for and helping the elderly in gusu district.

Take the "menu" at home in the morning, and the community doorman "works part-time" to buy food.
Ji's hometown is in Funing County, Yancheng. 1998, he and his wife came to Suzhou to work. In 2002, Ji was hired by the community to work as a doorman at No.55, Xishan Long Lane, and also served as a community cleaner. Since then, Ji began to "part-time" to buy food for the elderly in the community.
"I saw many old people come back from shopping in the morning, and when they walked to the door of the community, they were exhausted and panting," Ji Qiuhong told reporters. Sometimes he just helps the old man take the dishes home. Since then, I have come up with the idea of helping the elderly "buy food". "My family buys food every day, and by the way, I will bring some back to the elderly, so as not to go out again." Since then, Ji Qiuhong has had an extra job every day: he began to collect "menus" and food money at home early in the morning, rode a battery car to the vegetable market after receiving the order, bought food and gave the change to the elderly. The whole process was free. Some old people communicate by telephone, and he takes a pen and paper to record them one by one.
Ji looked through the volunteer service time manual recorded by residents for himself.
"leeks should be tender, vegetables should be Shanghai dishes", and the old man is responsive.
At first, Ji Qiuhong was not only responsible for the guards on duty, but also for the cleaning of the community. Later, mechanized operations were introduced into the road cleaning in residential areas, and five or six cleaners were no longer needed to work together. Since last year, Ji has been "laid off" on his own initiative, giving his job to other colleagues, and he only kept the duty of the doorman.
After buying food for the elderly for a long time, Ji basically found out the preferences of each family. Ji said that 94-year-old Wen Laobo and his wife invited him to buy food almost every day. After the old people write the menu, they often tell them that "leeks should be tender and vegetables should buy Shanghai food". Every time Ji smiled and agreed. Once, after Ji delivered a meal to an old man, the old man found that he had missed rice noodles when writing a menu. Ji rode to the vegetable market without saying anything, and the old man was very moved when he came back.
Ji is "purchasing" at the food market.
Over the years, he has accumulated a thick stack of menus.
Ji Qiuhong didn't just "buy" food for the elderly. He didn't leave until he saw the old man with some inconvenience in life. Instead, I called my lover, washed, cut and cooked vegetables, and prepared a delicious meal for the old man. He is not at ease to go back. Over the years, Ji Qiuhong has accumulated a thick stack of "menus". He said it was only in the last two years, and all the previous ones were cleaned up.
In addition to buying food, Ji also helps community residents "buy" other needed items. He remembered that once an old man wanted to buy "Meijiajing". He went to several big supermarkets, but he couldn't find them. Finally, he bought it in a small supermarket. "Although there are only a few dollars, I don't want to disappoint the old man." Ji told reporters.
Where there is a need, there is him.
"These are easy things."
A few years ago, Ji took care of a father and son who had a stroke in the community. Uncle Tang was paralyzed in bed after a stroke, and soon his son was sent to a drug rehabilitation center for taking drugs, leaving a daughter in elementary school. After learning the situation, Ji went to wash, wipe and cook for Grandpa Tang every morning and evening, and also undertook the task of picking up Grandpa Tang's granddaughter. After Tang Laobo died, he didn't expect his son, who had just returned from detoxification, to suddenly become paralyzed. Ji Qiuhong continued to take care of Tang Laobo's son until his death.
The houses in the old community are very old, so there is always some repair work to be done. Where there is a need, Ji will get there immediately. There is a toolbox under his bed, and various maintenance tools such as wrenches, hammers, saws, screws and nuts of various sizes, and engine oil are readily available. "In the past, I did farm work at home and had great strength. These are trivial things. " Ji said to me.
In addition to being enthusiastic about helping others, Ji participates in community public welfare undertakings as soon as he has time. The reporter learned that his community in Qing Ji is a community in Gu Xiang, and there are more than 20 public wells and courtyard wells still in use. On 20 16, Qing Ji community in Canglang street set up a "well-side family" well protection team with the help of residents' autonomy project. Ji has the experience of digging ancient wells, provoked the girders and became the backbone of the "well-side family" well protection team.
"It is happy enough to help the elderly."
Today, Ji and his lover still live in a small duty room with their granddaughter, while his son and daughter-in-law rent it on the second floor. Neighbors around praised Ji's enthusiasm and said it was not easy to work hard for so many years. In this regard, Ji still smiled very simply: "Everyone will be old one day, and it is happy enough to help the elderly in need."
A kind person's persistence for more than ten years is enough to prove his kindness and simplicity.
