Makinawo akapangidwa, kuyesedwa, ndi kupakidwa, gawo lotsatira ndikuwakweza m'chombo.
Kwa ambiri a ifeMakina OzungulirandiMakina Olumikizirana, zimenezo zikutanthauza kupita ku doko la Xiamen. Nthawi zambiri zimakhala zosavuta—timakonza galimoto masana, ndipo imafika pa doko usiku womwewo.
Nthawi zambiri, zinthu zimachitika monga momwe zinakonzedweratu.
Koma nthawi zina satero.
Posachedwapa panali katundu wotumizidwa kumene galimoto inafika ku Quanzhou masana, nthawi yanthawi zonse. Tinakonzeka kulongedza katundu monga momwe timachitira nthawi zonse, kenako china chake chinasokonekera. Titayang'ana mosamala nambala ya chidebecho, sinali yomwe tinasungitsa.
Njira yokhayo inali kutumiza galimotoyo ku Xiamen kuti ikasinthe ndi chidebe choyenera.
Pofika nthawi yomwe zinthu zinakonzedwa, nthawi yokonzekera zinthu inali itadutsa. Zimene zinkayenera kukhala zodzaza nthawi zonse pantchito zinasanduka masewera odikira. Palibe chochita koma kudikira kuti chidebe choyenera chibwerere.
Pamene inafika ku Quanzhou, inali itapita kale maola angapo.
Komabe, tinaganiza zoyamba kuigwiritsa ntchito usiku womwewo.
Makinawo ankalowa m'chidebe chimodzi ndi chimodzi pa forklift. Makina onse ozungulira ndi makina olumikizirana ankayenera kuyikidwa bwino, kulumikizidwa bwino, kumangiriridwa bwino asanalowe wina. Si njira yachangu. Simungathe kuifulumizitsa popanda kuyambitsa mavuto pambuyo pake.
Pamene tinkagwira ntchito, thambo linayamba kuda. Kutsegula zinthu kunayamba mpaka madzulo.
Pofika nthawi yomaliza yomangidwira, makinawo anali atadutsa mphindi zisanu ndi zinayi.
Titaonetsetsa kuti zonse zadzazidwa bwino, tinatumizanso galimotoyo—nthawi ino ndi chidebe choyenera komanso chilichonse chili pamalo pake.
Sizinali vuto lalikulu. Koma zinandikumbutsa momwe kusokonezeka kwa zinthu zazing'ono kungasokonezere kayendedwe ka zinthu. Kuposa pamenepo, zinandisonyeza kuti kutulutsa makina ndikofunikira monga momwe zimakhalira pomanga bwino.
A Makina OzungulirakapenaMakina OlumikiziranaSikuti kungoyendetsa bwino basi. Iyeneranso kufikira kasitomala nthawi imodzi, ndipo nthawi zina izi zikutanthauza kuthana ndi zinthu zosayembekezereka popanda kudula njira.
Kuchedwa kukachitika, sitichita zinthu mwachangu kapena kuchedwa pakati pa tsiku. Timatenga nthawi kuti tiwonetsetse kuti zachitika bwino.
Chifukwa nayi nkhani—tsiku lililonse makinawo amakhalapo ndi tsiku limene kasitomala sakuyendetsa, sakupanga nsalu, sakupeza ndalama. Ndipo ngati sakupeza ndalama, kodi cholinga chake n’chiyani? Amadalira ife kuti tipereke zinthu pa nthawi yake kuti athe kusunga nthawi yawo. Umu ndi momwe ziyenera kugwirira ntchito. Amagwira ntchito bwino, ifenso timachita bwino. Zosavuta choncho.
Kotero galimoto ikafika mochedwa kapena chidebecho sichili bwino, sitimangogwedeza mawondo ndikuchikankhira mawa. Timakhalabe. Timayika katundu usiku womwewo. Chifukwa nthawi yawo ndi yofunika, ndipo kufika nayo pa nthawi yake ndikofunika.
Chitseko cha kontena chikatsekedwa ndipo galimotoyo ikapita ku Xiamen, imakhala pafupi ndi fakitale yawo. Ndipo pamenepo ndi pomwe iyenera kukhala.
