Preface
As the old saying goes: If you are poor, you don't work with relatives.
At first, I also agreed with this sentence, because I dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school to work in the restaurant of my second aunt's house, and everyone else's salary was 3,005, but I was 2,000, and my heart was very unbalanced.
Three years later, I had accumulated enough experience and was ready to resign and leave, but my second aunt's words made me ashamed......
01
My name is Li Lei, and my parents are ordinary migrant workers, although the family doesn't have much money, they can barely live a good life.
I am the third oldest in the family, and I have a smart and clever sister and an older brother who has excellent academic performance.
But I am an outlier in this harmonious family.
I couldn't be idle, I got into trouble twice in three days, either climbing the wall or causing trouble, and the school either skipped class or bullied classmates, so that the teacher invited parents twice in three days.
When I was a child, I was beaten by my parents a lot, but it seems that the more I beat, the more stubborn I become, the more unteachable, I just don't like to study.
When I arrived in junior high school, I was still the same as the one who was hanging out, not paying attention in class, not touching my homework at all, and my test scores were firmly at the bottom.
In my third year of junior high school, I was completely tired of school life and simply had a showdown with my parents, saying that I didn't want to go to school anymore.
My parents tried their best to persuade me to at least get my junior high school diploma and let me hold on for a few more months, but at that time I didn't listen, and I just wanted to get away from school.
Seeing this, my father had no choice but to keep an eye on me at school every day, but this did not stop me from continuing to make trouble at school.
Finally, one day, I was involved in a serious brawl at school, and the teacher couldn't bear it, because I had been warned countless times before this, and I was directly notified to withdraw from the school.
At this point, I didn't even have room for negotiation and was expelled from school.
When I heard the news, my heart blossomed, but my parents were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they didn't know what to do about the future.
However, I don't care, I only want to be quick for a while, and I only know how to play all day long.
Later, my father proposed: "Since you really don't want to go to school, then go to your second aunt's house to help, her family has opened a restaurant, and you can also experience the hardships of life." ”
As soon as I heard that I could still make money at work, I was immediately interested and readily agreed.
02
My second brother-in-law is a native of Sichuan, and in order to do business, he went all the way north to our small county.
As for the second aunt, she was introduced to the second uncle, and after the two got married, the second aunt devoted herself to helping the second uncle in the store and became a veritable proprietor.
The second uncle's craftsmanship is very good, and their small shop business has been thriving, and it is also a well-known snack shop in our county.
Although the store is not big, as soon as the meal arrives, the flow of people is called a wang, in addition to the second aunt and second uncle, there are three or four waiters and a full-time dishwasher.
It just so happened that when I was looking for a job, a waiter in the store quit, and my second aunt was worried about recruiting.
My dad took the opportunity to stuff me over, and my second aunt had heard that I was an idle master before, and probably thought that I was just coping with errands on a whim, so she half-jokingly agreed.
Who knew that I was determined to go this time, and the second aunt said, "You try it first, and if you can't do it, you will go home." ”
I thought to myself, isn't it just serving dishes and greeting guests, with my dignified seven-foot man, this little bit of work can still be difficult for me?
As a result, reality gave me a hard slap in the face.
The second uncle had to get up early every morning to buy ingredients, and the second aunt also dragged me up early, and I followed the second uncle back to the restaurant and started the day of washing vegetables and preparing ingredients.
You know, when I didn't go to school before, I was the master who slept until three o'clock in the morning, and this time I got up early, and I couldn't open my eyes.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the noon when there were not many customers to make up for sleep, but when I arrived, there was an endless stream of customers in the store, and my second aunt arranged for me to follow a waiter sister to learn to receive customers.
I was so busy from eleven o'clock in the morning to two or three o'clock in the afternoon, in just a few hours, the whole person was like a small spinning top spinning at high speed, so tired that I couldn't straighten my waist.
I caught a glimpse of my second aunt looking at me, and there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes, and I just held my breath and pretended to be nothing.
After a short lunch break, the evening was a new round of busyness, and it was busy until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.
The second aunt looked at the exhausted me and said, "Look, send you back, it's really not appropriate for you to do this." ”
Growing up, I have heard countless people say that I can't do this or that, especially in my studies.
But this time, I stubbornly replied, "No! I can do it!" Seeing that I was so determined, the second aunt nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to do it, you have to do it well." ”
She told me that the salary during the internship period was 2,000 yuan, and she also had food and lodging.
03
Later, I continued to work hard, and after a long time, I got acquainted with the other waiters in the store, and realized that their monthly salary was 3,500 yuan, and I only had 2,000.
At first, I thought it was a newcomer, but later I learned that they joined the company directly 3,005, and there was no such thing as an internship period.
Now there is a little imbalance in my heart, thinking that although they don't live in the second aunt's house, they just eat a working meal in the store, but this gap is also too big.
I secretly complained to my second aunt in my heart, feeling that I was being called for cheap labor.
However, this idea can only be held in my heart, and I dare not make it clear to my second aunt.
2,000 yuan a month, food and accommodation are at the second aunt's house, and life is enough, and you can save a little money.
In this way, I worked in my second aunt's restaurant for three years.
In the past three years, I have learned more than just being a waiter. The second aunt taught me how to settle accounts at the front desk in her spare time, and the second aunt also let me watch him cook from time to time.
In the past three years, I am no longer the little kid who doesn't know anything, and I have saved some money in my pocket, so my heart has naturally changed a little.
In fact, to be honest, in the past three years, my second aunt has never given me a salary increase, and the waiters in the store have changed twice, and they are all three thousand and a half monthly salary, in comparison, I am inevitably a little lost and unwilling.
I wondered if I should look elsewhere now that I've learned so many things.
04
That day, I finally decided to go home and open the skylight to my second aunt and second uncle, and I planned to quit my current job.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the second aunt asked, "What's the matter?"
I scratched my head and replied, "Aunt, you know, I'm so busy from morning to night that I don't even have time to figure out what I want to do. I'm only 20 years old, and I always want to go out and break through, and I don't want to go around in the service industry for the rest of my life. ”
The second aunt smiled, as if she had expected this day, turned around and entered the house, and took out two bank cards after a while.
"This card is your salary for the past three years, you kid was a demon king in the past, I was afraid that you would spend money indiscriminately, so I saved 1,005 a month for you. To be honest, I thought you wouldn't be able to do it for a few days before you were going to leave. ”
She paused, "I didn't expect you to be quite able to endure hardships." ”
Then she said, "You can take this card and do whatever you want, and what about the other card, my aunt plans to invest in you." You've been working in the restaurant for three years, and you have a little experience in the restaurant industry, so you haven't thought about opening a restaurant that really belongs to you?"
The second aunt patted me on the shoulder, "But if you have other ideas, as long as you want to do it, the second aunt will support you." ”
Listening to my second aunt's words, my heart was hot, and my tears almost didn't stop.
Since I was a child, I have never received this kind of affirmation and support, and I am full of gratitude.
My second aunt has not only supported me over the years, but also taught me the skills to make a living, and now I know the good intentions of my second aunt.
So I followed my second aunt's suggestion and opened a branch in a more prosperous place under the name of my second uncle's shop, and personally managed it.
I used to be a thug and became a restaurant owner.
Even my parents' attitude towards me has changed, and the people around me have also looked at me differently, and my self-confidence has gradually accumulated with the development of my career.
The business of the new store is more prosperous than the old store of the second aunt, and I have proved my worth with my own efforts and the support of the second aunt, and I have also started a new journey in life.
During the holidays, I will carry a bunch of good things to visit my second aunt and second uncle to express my most sincere gratitude to them.
Looking at the satisfied smile on my second aunt's face, my heart was warm, full of gratitude.
I know in my heart that I can stand here today as a well-known boss because of the blessing of my second aunt.
epilogue
Looking back, I sincerely thank my second aunt, not only because she gave me financial assistance at a critical moment, but also because of her words and deeds in life, which taught me how to be a down-to-earth person and do things, and understood the value of dedication, perseverance and gratitude.
This gratitude to my second aunt will always be with me, and no matter what stage of my life I go, it will become an inexhaustible driving force in my heart.
