Chapter 21 Is it kind, or smart?

People are different. People who come to Haidilao from the countryside to work in Haidilao have different reactions to the material life in the city.Yang Yumei from Beijing No. 3 Store is a girl from the countryside of Shaanxi. She couldn't get used to the changes in some of her colleagues. She wrote an article in Haidilao magazine, "A tree is tall and a thousand mountains can't forget its roots". She wrote in the article: "One time when I got off work at noon, I went shopping with a few colleagues. Each of them bought snacks and chatted and ate while walking. One older sister said, Yumei, you don’t buy anything. I am also reluctant to buy clothes, because people look down on you. You are still young, you should spend what you should spend, and you will have no chance if you don’t spend it. Then, the few of them talked together about how to consume and enjoy.

"I heard that, and I felt very uncomfortable. Parents raised us and allowed us to spend money outside? Now some employees spend hundreds of yuan in a restaurant, but our parents live frugally at home. My family has no source of income, so I can’t compare with other colleagues. My hometown is based on farming, and my father only has a primary school education. In order to let my younger siblings and I study, he went to work in the city. "I didn't know how hard my father was working in the city until I dropped out of school and went out to work. When I saw those migrant workers who couldn't find a job, they would rather be hungry than buy 3 yuan noodles. My colleagues It costs 3 yuan to eat a bag of snacks casually.

"I went to a labor market in Xi'an to find a job, and I saw a group of uncles and aunts standing or squatting. They were all migrant workers from the countryside. They were dressed in rags, and they had tool boxes that I was familiar with. They would be there every day. Waiting for work; sometimes, I lay bedding and sleep there at night. That place has the most people in our village, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, they will always be there. In my memory, every time my father came back from the city, he would give My siblings and I buy some goodies while he carries the same toolbox.

"My mother is very kind and simple. As far as I can remember, she never bought new clothes, but always bought cloth and made them herself. The whole family's clothes and shoes are all made by my mother. Winter is a season of shortage of vegetables, my mother Chop up the white radish leaves, put them in a tank and salt them. This is the main dish of our family all winter. The radish is kept for the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, my father will buy a bag of rice, and he hardly buys it usually The rice is ready. The younger siblings are not sensible, and when they see other children eating rice, they go home and ask for it. Therefore, sometimes the mother cooks differently, and the rice is given to the younger siblings.

"Although our family is poor, it is very warm. My parents are getting older and their bodies are exhausted. My mother's legs were found to have hyperosteogeny two years ago, and her arms were also very painful. When it was serious, she couldn't even lift the pot lid. When I can't take care of myself, I can only let my sister who works in Xi'an go home to take care of her. "Mom and Dad have paid too much for us, they look haggard. Dad has a stomach problem, but in order to make a living, he still gets up early every day to find work, and drives a tractor to pull stones for others. It is winter, I can think My mother is still squatting on the big rock by the river, washing clothes on her stomach, and she has a cracked hand, and she wipes it with a dime stick oil at night. In winter, my mother will buy us a face wipe for one yuan Oil, now I still use face oil like this.

"Since I was sensible, my parents have never quarreled, nor have I quarreled with others. When I came out to work, my father said to me: Don't quarrel with others, work more, talk less, and don't worry about small things. Haggling. But in my small group, I often hear some swear words. Once I did something wrong, a girl said, I pissed me off, let's see who can scold whom?Usually at work, some colleagues refuse to give in to each other for little things. "I don't know if the families of the employees around me are well-off, but I guess most of them are not much better off than me. It's the difference between working in Haidilao and working on the construction site. We eat different dishes and whites every day. Rice, there is heating after get off work, and the room is cleaned. Even so, the mother who is far away in her hometown is very worried, often asking if she is full? She asks to buy clothes to wear when it is cold.

"And how much have we thought about our parents? What have we paid back? Have you ever called home? Have you ever thought about buying a washing machine for your home in the cold winter? Some colleagues around me never mentioned their parents. Ban, but changed three mobile phones for myself. There are many employees around me. They have been working for several months, and they have never sent a penny to their families. In fact, some employees of Haidilao have formed a trend of comparison and paid wages. It runs out quickly. "I can't do this because I can't bear it. Although my parents didn't give me good living conditions, they gave us everything. They worked hard to raise us; when we grow up, They want to use all their savings to build a new house for us, but they never mention their suffering.

"Although I came to Haidilao and lived a much better life than before, I will never forget my parents." When studying the case of Haidilao, I asked more than a dozen young waiters from the countryside in Haidilao if they knew how to farm. They all smiled and shook their heads. For migrant workers, the allure of the city is irresistible.Cities are "heroin".The huge difference between urban and rural areas has sucked them out of the land.What they need is not farming, but survival skills in the city.However, people are not only tools. When they master a skill, they also learn the way of life of this skill.

Cities are material, material is for people to enjoy, and enjoyment is endless.Haidilao is a flat boat where the city's materialistic desires flow, and it is impossible not to follow the trend.But the people on this boat are not the same. What kind of people does Haidilao need? Zhang Yong said: "We cannot ask every ordinary employee to remain absolutely loyal to Haidilao. It is unrealistic to think about Haidilao everywhere. As long as he can be responsible for his family, his life and future generations, then he will Try to keep the job." Someone like Yang Yumei is undoubtedly an employee who meets this standard.In a bustling city, if you don't have a sense of responsibility, you won't be able to persevere or do a good job in this arduous job that is looked down upon by others.

Zhang Yong is very smart. In order to strengthen the sense of responsibility of Haidilao's cadres to their families, Haidilao also pays a salary to the parents of employees above the foreman every month.The money is not much, depending on the level of different cadres, it is only a few hundred yuan a month. Zhang Yong said: "Most of our employees come from rural areas, and their parents don't have any social insurance. Haidilao will pay their parents insurance money. If they don't work hard, their parents will scold them for me." Someone said: "Zhang Yong is really smart. The wool comes from the sheep, and the money sent to his parents is originally the employee's."

Someone else said: "Zhang Yong is really kind."
