Uncle's factory
I was born into an ordinary working family, my parents were factory workers, and they earned a small salary to support the family and provide for my education. My name is Zhang Yuan, and I have known the difficulties of life since I was a child, and I also understand the hard work of my parents. Therefore, when my uncle's factory needed manpower, I did not hesitate to agree to help, hoping to take some financial burden off the family.
My uncle's factory is a small furniture company, and although it is small, it is also well-known in the local area. I originally thought that working in my uncle's factory would give me some special care, at least in terms of salary. However, this is not the case.
"Uncle, I'm here." On the first day I reported to the factory, I greeted my uncle with a smile on my face.
My uncle looked up at me with a deep expression on his face, "Well, Xiaoyuan, it's good that you're here." You also know the rules in the factory, although you are a relative, I can't give you special treatment, and the salary is ......"
"Uncle, I understand, you don't have to be embarrassed, just give me the treatment of a normal worker." I hurriedly said.
Uncle nodded, and said nothing more.
However, what I didn't expect was that the so-called "normal treatment" turned out to be even lower than others. For the same job, other workers can get a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, but I only have 3,000 yuan. Although I felt a little unbalanced in my heart, I thought that this was my uncle's factory, and maybe he had his own difficulties, so I silently accepted it.
As the days passed, I worked hard in the factory, rushing to do all the dirty work. But as time went on, I found that I wasn't getting what I deserved. Not only the unfair salary, but also the various pressures and unhappiness at work made me feel tired gradually.
Finally, one day, I decided to resign, "Uncle, I want to talk to you." I knocked on the door of my uncle's office.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyuan? What's the matter? My uncle looked up and looked at me suspiciously.
I took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, "Uncle, I have decided to resign. During this time, I felt like I wasn't getting the treatment and respect I deserved here. For the same job, my salary is much lower than others. ”
When my uncle heard my words, his brows tightened, "Xiaoyuan, I know you are a little dissatisfied, but you have to understand my difficulties. The factory is not doing well now, and I am trying to maintain it. In terms of salary, I do have a bit of a bias, but this is because you are my nephew, and I hope you can work harder and prove your worth with practical actions. ”
"Uncle, I understand your thoughts. But I also have my difficulties and considerations. I hope to find a more fair and reasonable working environment. I said firmly.
Uncle was silent for a moment and sighed, "Okay, Xiaoyuan." Now that you've decided, I won't stop you. But before you go, I have something to say to you. ”
My heart moved, and I didn't know what my uncle was going to say. He stood up, walked up to me, and patted me on the shoulder, "Xiaoyuan, I've always valued you. You are diligent, down-to-earth, and hardworking, and I see all of this. The reason why I give you a lower salary is because I want you to understand that life is not always fair. You need to learn to deal with setbacks and injustices so that you can truly grow and come strong. ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect my uncle to have such an idea. His words struck me as both surprised and warm. I lowered my head and was silent for a while, then looked up at my uncle, "Uncle, thank you for your care and teachings during this time. I will take your words to heart and try to face the challenges of life. ”
Uncle smiled and nodded, "Go, Xiaoyuan!" Remember, be diligent and hardworking, no matter where you are. ”
I left my uncle's factory with gratitude and motivation in my heart. Although I was dissatisfied with the unfair treatment at work, my uncle's words opened my eyes to a wider world and more possibilities.
A few years later, with my hard work and diligence, I took on an important management position in a large company. When I think back to my days at my uncle's factory, my heart is filled with gratitude. It was that experience that taught me how to deal with setbacks and injustices, and it also made me appreciate what I have now. And my uncle's words have always inspired me to keep moving forward and pursue a better version of myself.
When I think back to that warm afternoon, my uncle patted me on the shoulder and said those words, my heart is filled with strength. Life may not always be fair, but as long as we remain diligent and hardworking, we will be able to create a better future of our own. My uncle has also become an important mentor and guide in my life. Whenever I encounter difficulties, I am reminded of his words: "Stay diligent and hardworking, no matter the time and place." This sentence has always inspired me to move forward and made me a stronger and more confident person.
