Chapter 401 Preparing for the New Year

Chapter 401 Preparing for the New Year

When Mr. Zhong arrived at Erdaohe, it was the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month.

He reported it in advance and contacted Chu Zizhou.

Chu Zizhou arranged a dormitory at the brigade headquarters.

This requires money. As for the food, Lao Suntou is responsible for it.

Now that you are here, of course you have to entertain me well.

For example, during the reunion dinner on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Mrs. Song and Zhu Feng discussed it and ate it together.

After staying up late at night, everyone can go back to their homes.

The two of them are getting along very well now.

It is said that poor and humble couples suffer from everything.

In fact, the same is true for relatives. There is a saying, it seems that if you are poor, you will not leave your relatives, and if you are rich, you will not return home.

When you are poor, if you go to visit others or catch up with others to eat, you will be considered to be deliberately taking advantage of the meal.

The same goes for in-law interactions.

Nowadays, the two little old ladies have money in their pockets. Their sons and daughters are filial to the family and save worries, and they are envied and jealous by the old ladies in the village.

Whether it is spiritually or materially, they are all the rich ones.

Therefore, when we get along, there is no need to worry about so much.

Moreover, Mrs. Song is not easy to care about. Her eldest granddaughter doesn't like to care about things the most.

Then as a grandmother, she must be generous.

Fortunately, Zhu Feng has such a good personality, and the two of them get along well.

These worries are gone.

There will be no conflicts when we celebrate the New Year together. We can eat whatever we have and no one will hide anything.

The master chef at the garment factory also gave him a bonus and chose the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month as a holiday. After all, the factories in the city hadn't even had a holiday yet.

Or the northern rural areas are bustling with activity during the New Year. Since they can’t farm in the winter, they just stay at home and spend the winter. Naturally, they have time to celebrate the New Year, such as cleaning the house, posting newspapers, washing clothes and quilts, and doing laundry for the children.

The New Year atmosphere is very strong.

This year's Erdaohe Village, including Sunflower Commune, is actually different from previous years.

First of all, there is no more cat winter.

A handicraft factory has been established, located in an office in the commune.

The county also sent someone down.

Old Songtou is a consultant.

He is now in charge of the family's logistics and has to pick up and drop off Xiaonuan on Sundays.

This consultant is not working. When he has nothing to do, he can research new styles and send them to the company.

I was given a monthly salary of twenty yuan.

Although all walks of life are booming now, prices are still very stable, and so are wages.

Sugar-coated haws made from black dates are still a dime a bunch.

Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy orange candies, and you can still buy a handful for just a dime.

Ready-made steamed dumplings still cost four cents each.

Song Yunuan especially likes the current prices.

Because of this comparison, I feel like I am about to become a millionaire.

Zhong Shaoqing's pitiful life experience won the love of Zhu Feng and Mrs. Song, who really wanted him to take a bite of whatever delicious food they made.

They all also liked this well-behaved and docile young man.

Xia Xindong didn't reveal it either. Anyway, the second young master really respected these old people.

that's enough.

Song Mingbo began to study hard and only slept a few hours a day. Either Song Yunuan tutored him or Xia Xindong tutored him.

In this final exam, Song Yunuan came first again without any surprise.

Song Mingbo actually did very well in the exam and entered the top twenty of his grade.

This is already his best result.

But compared with my sister, it's not good enough.

Some people even ask why one twin brother and sister are so stupid and the other is so smart.

He can't catch up with his sister.

But try not to be left too far behind. Besides, with his current grades, it seems a little difficult to go to Beidu to study.

So you have to work harder.

After that, Song Mingbo was rarely seen, but Zhong Shaoqing walked around the village every day.

He brought many gifts when he came, which was considered by almost everyone.

He loved this little village.

Especially when rime appears, the whole village looks like a world in a fairy tale.

People in the village are used to it. Lao Song always has all kinds of guests, and they are all distinguished guests.

Even during the Chinese New Year, people still came to visit his home.

For example, President Zhuang of the hospital, President Cui of the Cadre Academy, and Director Zheng of the electronics factory, etc.

Sister Zhao and Lao Niu are naturally not behind and must come to visit the old man.

And Kou County, he came with Deputy County Zhao.

These people prepared double copies of their gifts.

One is for the Song family, and the other is for Zhu Feng.

In short, if the children live up to their expectations, the old man's face will be bright.

Because Xia Xindong was there, a special security point was set up in Erdaohe Village.

The county public security bureau and the commune police station will send people in turns.

Chu Zizhou also set up a canteen.

Said it could be contracted.

Mrs. Song wanted to take over the contract, but she was too busy to take care of it.

Then let Mrs. Sun and her daughter-in-law take over the job.

The group headquarters is the center.

This canteen is located next to the brigade headquarters.

There are also all kinds of daily necessities such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea and so on.

Anyway, daily needs can still be met.

It was established after the twelfth lunar month, and Mrs. Sun did not hide it from Mrs. Song. She told Mrs. Song that she had made more than ten yuan in these days.

He was also very happy when he said it.

Erdaohe Village has never had such a prosperous year.

Of course, winter has never been so busy.

But being busy and making money is much better than playing poker on the kang and pushing Pai Gow to make money.

Even neighborhood disputes between husband and wife and conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been reduced a lot.

I couldn’t care less when I got busy.

Then Erdaohe Village was also selected as one of the spiritually civilized villages in Nanshan County.

Even in winter, the place is kept clean and tidy.

Chu Zizhou kept his word.

The spiritually civilized households rated each month will be rewarded.

Nowadays, not only Chu Zizhou but also Song Yunuan can live such a life.

Some people secretly said that Song Yunuan was the little lucky star of their village.

Since she came back, she not only eats more meat than in previous years, but also eats rice.

The most important thing is that many people have become workers.

At the end of the year, Zhilan Garment Factory gave each worker five pounds of white flour, one pound of eggs, three pounds of meat, and one pound of chicken cake.

I don’t dare to delay my salary.

Then it’s time to go to work on the sixth day of the new year.

It has several more days off than workers in the city have.

Moreover, those who volunteer to work overtime will have their wages doubled.

As soon as this regulation came out, more than half of the workers took the initiative to work overtime.

Therefore, before the end of the year, the second batch of orders were also completed.

Song Yunuan also received a call from Jemke at this time.

He thanked Song Yunuan excitedly.

He said he was spared because his father did not go.

He also promised Song Yunuan not to tell anyone else about this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

He also told Song Yunuan that according to the Long Kingdom calendar, he would arrive in Beidu on the tenth day of the lunar month.

The goods are already being prepared here. Once the contract is signed, the goods will come into effect and will be shipped immediately.

Song Yunuan: "There will be no delays here either. We have a large inventory and can ship at any time."

After talking for a few more words, they each put down the phone.

Hans over there rubbed his hands and said, "I want to thank her personally. Also, a few of my good friends, I told them that I felt uneasy and didn't want to go to the West Canyon. It turned out that they all believed it." They listened to my words and returned when they reached the foot of the mountain. They are now very grateful to me and say that I am their savior. I did not tell the truth, but this favor will be returned to Song Yunuan in the future. "
