A cleaning lady in our company is in her 50s and comes from a remote rural area in Guizhou. She is illiterate and cannot write her own name. She is a hard-working woman.
I met her in 2014. At that time, the company acquired a Taiwan-funded enterprise and the factory moved to Shenzhen. Anyone who was willing to come with the company came with her, and my aunt moved to Shenzhen with the company.
Occasionally, I heard colleagues talk about how diligent this aunt is. Generally, cleaning aunties in companies are relatively leisurely, but she gets up at around 6 o'clock every morning and works in production workshops, playgrounds, dormitories, office buildings, and public buildings. *** area, until about 8 o'clock in the evening, I worked diligently all the time.
On weekends, everyone basically rests, and occasionally goes to the office to handle some things. You can often see her cleaning the office windows, wiping the leaves of the green plants in the office, watering the green plants, and cleaning the office staff. Slippers that need to be changed into the office.
Sometimes, in the summer, at noon, she would work on the playground with a straw hat. Sometimes she had so much work to do that she would run with her when she walked.
The company leaders care about her, don’t work too hard, take care of her body, and don’t get tired, but she may be used to it and enjoy it.
In terms of life, she lives in a family with very difficult conditions and has given birth to a son and a daughter. However, her husband has always been in poor health and has no income. The family relies on her income to maintain the family, and she often gets pregnant year after year. I eat lunch and dinner in the cafeteria, so I am very frugal with myself.
Because she is illiterate, she cannot go back to her hometown alone. She has to be taken by a fellow villager during the Chinese New Year in order to go back together.
Fortunately, she has a pair of children. This hard-working woman has been frugal all her life. I hope she has a good old age.
