Introduction: A new era has arrived, and China is no longer the backward and closed country. Various economies are beginning to recover. The rise of other economies has also meant some recessions.
The rural economy is getting more and more decaying. Rural people can't earn much money working in the land all year round. Many young people choose to go to big cities to see if they can make a little money. Mr. Li, 27, has lived in the countryside since childhood. For so many years, in order to take care of my parents, I have not gone to the big city to work.
I don't make much money every year, but it's good that the family can live together and be very happy! But recently, my wife has become more and more unhappy. Because many people in the village who work in the city have made a lot of money and have bought houses and cars. And his family is still a small dilapidated house, and there is no car.
To make the wife satisfied. Mr. Lee decided to go out for a walk around the city. I thought I could make a lot of money, but when I went to the city, I found out how difficult it was to make money.
He has no academic qualifications and no skills. The company didn't want him. Disheartened, ready to return to the village. He found an advertisement for a job for a live-in nanny. The salaries are all very good. Regardless of three seven twenty-one, he went to the interview. Unexpectedly, the housekeeping company hired him. But he had only been working for two months and couldn't stand it and wanted to quit.
What's going on here? Let's listen to what Mr. Li has to say.
Self-report of Mr. Li, 27 years old
I was born in a small mountain village in the middle of Nowhere in Chongqing. The village is economically underdeveloped, and every household is engaged in farming. You don't make a few bucks all year round. My parents were old and frail and didn't do much farm work. So our family made less money and struggled to make ends meet. I also have an older brother who dropped out of school early to work in a factory.
In order for me to be able to go to school well, my brother sent me a small part of his salary every month.
My parents were also working hard to make money for me to study. They all want me to be able to read well and change my destiny through knowledge. But I failed to live up to their expectations. No matter how hard I tried, my grades were a mess. Koko failed, and the teacher said I was not saved. Gradually, I became more and more bored with school, and I didn't want my family to spend money for me. I dropped out of school despite everyone's objections.
After dropping out of school, I was too young. My parents were not at ease, so I went out to work.
I helped with farm work at home. I think what I have is strength, young and strong, farm work is afraid of something!
But I was soon punched in the face by reality. I got up before dawn and worked until the sun went down before I went home. When I lay in bed at night, I couldn't sleep with a sore back.
Later, the child was born, and the financial burden was even heavier. I also work harder on the farm, but I still can't make a few bucks. Life was very poor, and my wife was nagging every day. But looking at young children, parents who are not in good health. How can I be so my heart and go out to work?
Until a man who worked in a neighbor's house made a lot of money and came home. They bought a new house in town and a car. My wife finally broke out, scolding me for being useless and not showing up. I didn't sleep one night. The next day I took a train to the city. I asked my wife on the phone to take care of my son and parents. The wife said, let me go with confidence! She will take care of it.
When I came to the big city to work hard, I found that everything was not as beautiful as I thought. I ran into a wall of job hunting everywhere. No company wants me to be such a person with no academic qualifications and skills. Disheartened, I prepared to go back to the village. Unexpectedly, I saw a job advertisement for a live-in nanny. The salary was good, so I went to the interview.
Unexpectedly, the company immediately hired me and arranged for me to take up my post the next day.
My employer is a 70 year old lady. Her son is well-established and runs a company in Beijing. Since he didn't have time or energy to take care of her, he hired a live-in nanny.
The content of the work is very simple, just need to do three meals a day and housework, and care about her physical and mental health.
Her son gave me $7,000 at the beginning. Such a high salary makes me and my daughter-in-law happy.
I took care of the old lady very seriously. Make three meals a day on time every day. Make some adjustments according to the taste of the old lady. Moreover, the medicines taken by the old lady were sorted into categories and soaked for her to drink on time.
One day when her son returned from Beijing, he saw that the house had been cleaned up, and the old lady was in a good mental state. He immediately increased my salary to 8,000 yuan.
I told her son. Her son said, trust me not to steal. Fortunately, her son believed in me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to hold on.
But it wasn't long before something even more terrible happened. The old lady ran out at night. I found no one in her room and searched frantically afterwards. Looked for one night to find it. Asked what she was doing, she said she was looking for her son. I realized now that the old lady was a bit insane.
I quickly reported to her son, who said that the old lady had a bit of Alzheimer's disease and asked me to be more tolerant. In order to compensate me, I increased my salary to 10,000 yuan.
Such a high salary is something I dare not think of. However, I was tired from working every day, and the mental pressure was too great. In case something happens to the old lady, I am responsible.
Every day I wanted to quit my job and go back to the village, but I was afraid that my wife would say anything about me. What do you say?
