Fireworks World(10)

The twelfth lunar month is already 20 years old, and it’s almost New Year’s Eve. But it’s really cold this year.

The factory heats itself, which is okay, and it is warm at home. Wearing autumn clothes and long trousers at home will not make you cold. Even for older people, wearing a vest outside the autumn clothes is enough.

As the New Year approaches, the factory becomes busier.

But no matter how busy they are, the busy people are still the people below. Sister Feng at that time is now the deputy director of the factory. Sister Feng was the administrator of the factory canteen at that time. If the administrator is facing the factory leaders, then she is not considered a cadre. But now

It’s different now. Sister Feng’s monthly salary is two thousand, and her husband takes care of the house and children at home. She is now a working woman.

People like this are afraid of losing their jobs. They are really meticulous in managing things. And in a place like a food factory, the biggest fear is dirty hands and feet. Lin Yutong has used her for so long, and it seems to be okay. Before he can find a more suitable person,

, she can still use it. Now she only accepts orders for the Lantern Festival, and no longer accepts orders for the New Year. It is just a shipment, and then there is the production of Lantern Festival glutinous rice balls.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master started to send New Year's gifts, some snacks, and some gift certificates in advance to some of the leaders they had contact with, and that was enough. By the end of the new year, this was done. All that was left was to go to the factory every day.

Look, if anything happens, call Sister Feng. Now that I have my cell phone with me, it is very convenient to contact her.

This morning, the snow has not stopped. Lin Yutong said forget it. If nothing happens, he won't go today. If he stays, he is afraid of slippery roads in the snow.

Fourth Master said it was okay, he had snow chains on.

But it turned out that I couldn't go even if I wanted to. Nowadays, car doors require a key to be opened, not the electronic locks of the future. This kind of jack key is very embarrassing in winter. The temperature was very low last night.

It was only minus three degrees this morning. Due to the expansion and contraction of heat and cold, the key could not be inserted into the lock. There was no other way. Fourth Master went back again and asked Lin Yutong to come back and wait at home. He put the key

I sat on the radiator for a while, then I went out and opened the door, but still couldn't get in. I had no choice but to come in and take out the lighter, burned the key for a long time, poured another cup of boiling water, took a dry towel, and poured the hot water on it.

I slowly poured hot water on the car door. I didn't dare to let the water flow to the keyhole for fear of getting in. Then it was really freezing. I was also afraid that the water would freeze on the car, so I kept wiping it with a towel. It took half a toss.

Over the next hour, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the wind picked up.

Come on! Stop fussing, there is really no way to go out.

When I came back, I was freezing and sat in front of the radiator to warm my hands and feet.

It was rare for my parents to be at home, and the children didn't stay in bed. They all got up. After breakfast, several people pushed and pushed their parents to see their report cards.

Yinwei got seventh in the class, and why did he get twelfth in the class. That's not bad. Didn't he transfer to a key middle school?

The results for marriage and karma are similar, both fluctuating around the top ten. Not particularly outstanding, but not bad.

"When the snow stops, I'll take you to buy new clothes." Anyway, I can't go out today.

At home, prepare food for the New Year.

The New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten at home. You have to prepare all the elbows, chicken, and fish in advance, otherwise the kitchen is only such a big place and you won't be able to produce so many dishes. You have to prepare it in advance and heat it up by then.

,quick!

I bought a lot of New Year's goods, so I bought three elbows. I got two on New Year's Eve and one on New Year's Day, which was enough. Aunt Cheng was still afraid that the food wouldn't be delicious. Seeing her daughter-in-law at home, she called

She made it. It didn’t take much trouble once it was cooked. Lin Yutong made it at home. The old lady helped, and the children came in and out. One moment they felt a date and went out, and the next moment they saw the aroma of the pork ribs coming out of the pot. They said that today is the time to eat.

Just make salt and pepper pork ribs.

This all works!

When the family is wealthy, the children's requirements are always easily met.

The fourth master and the old master were playing chess in the back room of the balcony, which was light-filled. Several children were watching TV in the living room, chewing melon seeds, peanut candies, and various fruits. Especially oranges and bananas, which came in a basket.

The one who carries the basket buys food from home, and there is never any shortage of food.

The old lady said to the children: "Cherish your blessings. Our family makes stew and fried chicken, but most people in our factory only have two kilograms of meat. Just buy some vegetables and forget about it after New Year's Eve."

."

Years ago in the factory, each employee on the job received a salary of 150 yuan, and each employee who retired received a salary of 100 yuan.

For example, Yinqi's family, the couple has three hundred yuan, and the old couple asked them to collect their retirement salary, which only adds up to five hundred yuan.

Of these five hundred yuan, you have to leave enough money for the child as a gift, money for gifts from relatives and friends, and money for tuition and books for the child to start school in the coming year. Even if it doesn't work, the child has grown taller. For better or worse, you have to buy something for the child.

A new outfit for the New Year.

After such a calculation, there is no extra money to spend on my own. Qianer went over to give his granddaughter a bowl of Jiuzhuan ileus, and the couple over there were counting the money. You could hear people at the door saying that they will cut two kilograms of meat this year and prepare some.

Forget about tofu and vegetables. My daughter-in-law also said: "We will definitely have the New Year's Eve dinner there. We will also go there to accompany the elderly on the first day of the new year, which saves another day. On the second day of the new year, we will go back to my parents' house and make ends meet."

The eldest sister and the second sister will definitely be there when they come back, and we don’t need to entertain them. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, they go to my sister’s house, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, they go to your eldest sister’s house, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year... when they go to your second sister’s house, they probably won’t be able to leave any food. She will be there.

It's not necessarily better than us, so we just have a meal at home on the fifth day of the lunar month. It happens to be the fifth day of the lunar month, and the poor people want to eat dumplings, so we make dumplings and eat them. There is still some meat left to survive on the sixth and seventh day of the lunar month.

Even if it’s over. If the factory is normal, we have to go to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. How can we still celebrate the new year! On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, our parents will definitely ask us to go over to celebrate the festival, so we don’t have to worry about it. I guess the gifts for visiting relatives will be there.

You have to give us some, because with these we can save a fortune..."

It's sad to hear that you have to live your life carefully.

When she came back, she said to her husband: "You and Da Qizi have a good talk, it's time to go out and find a job. You see, my two uncles have found jobs outside, and their lives are not that tight."

Years ago, the second brother-in-law paid back the thousand yuan that Lin Yutong borrowed. He said that the business there was good, and the amount was dozens of yuan a day. Lin Yutong accepted it, and he was debt-free and the burden on his heart was lightened.

.

At this moment, the old man was also nagging the fourth master about this matter: "I told your brother that it is not possible to hold on to the factory and not let go. I see the current situation, as long as you are willing to work, you will always have something to eat. If

I just think about going out and the factory won’t care about things like retirement, so how will I live my life? I can’t survive now, so why do I want to think about the future? People, don’t worry about the present first?”

This is the truth.

The fourth master then said: "If you want to do something, ask him to tell me and I will pay for it."

"If I don't ask you to come out, just lend it to him." The old man thought: "Lend it to him and don't worry about the rest."

As a result, on New Year's Eve, Yinqi's family of three came right after breakfast. The eldest sister Yin and the second sister also came with their family.

Look, eighteen people are crammed into a sixty-square-meter place.

The men occupied the inside and outside of the balcony, and the children all crowded into the three girls' rooms. There was enough room for people to sit on the bed and under the bed. The fourth master had bought a video recorder before, and the whole room was filled with large and small rooms.

Children, we are huddled together watching a video. Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen, no matter how many times you watch it, you never get tired of it.

The women were in the kitchen, living room, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master's bedroom, and they had to walk sideways wherever they went.

It’s Chinese New Year, and if we gather together, we can tell at a glance whether the day is good or bad.

Lin Yutong wears a white turtleneck sweater and jeans at home. She wears a pair of cotton shoes made by Lin's mother at home, but they look good. Because the eldest sister still wears old clothes, Lin Yutong's impression is that she has worn the down jacket for several years. But that

The clothes worn by the two children are not bad, not much different from what Lin Yutong bought for several children. Because the second sister didn't even wear a down jacket, she just came in wrapped in a military coat. When she took it off when she entered the house, she still had work clothes underneath. The children's clothes.

The clothes were probably bought at the wholesale market. They were not expensive. Many children outside wore them. The clothes Cheng Kaixiu was wearing had never been seen before. They didn’t look like new ones. She didn’t shy away from it: “They are my sister’s clothes. My sister has gained weight this year.”

I bought a lot of clothes. The clothes I just bought in the spring this year can no longer be fastened in the winter. Give them to me. They look good to me, so I didn’t buy any clothes this year.”

They both work in the same factory. Because both the eldest sister and the second sister knew her sister, they asked: "I heard that I opened a clothing store and shipped goods from the south to sell them. The business was very good. I looked at the big boots and ironed them.

If it’s wavy, it’s definitely a profit.”

Cheng Kaixiu also laughed: "The business has just started, and now it is considered profitable. I think the business is good, and I also said that I would find a place farther away from my sister to do clothing business."

This line.

Lin Yutong knew that he was talking to himself, so he said: "If you need money, just say it. To be honest, it is really profitable to do the clothing business now. If nothing else, I only specialize in jeans, and young people like it."

Cheng Kaixiu looked at the pants on Lin Yutong's legs: "My sister's store also has them. The shipping price is over forty, but the purchase price is less than twenty."

Look! It’s very profitable.

Lin Yutong said: "To be close to the university, it is best to rent a shop near the shopping malls of several universities..."

Cheng Kaixiu felt that this idea was similar to her sister's idea, and she immediately said: "Then after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I will go ask about the shop and ask Lijun's father to follow my brother-in-law Wu Nanbian to purchase goods."

A shop like this is worth a lot of money, which means it costs several thousand dollars. I helped the Lin family build the shop, and also found a place for the Yin family. It was impartial, so let's do it.

Because the eldest sister's brother-in-law has a car to pull goods to Lin Yutong's factory. As for herself, she steams steamed buns, meat buns and vegetable buns at home. She gets up at three o'clock in the middle of the night to steam a pot, then puts it in a basket and uses new gauze.

The cotton quilts I made were wrapped up to keep them warm, and I carried them on bicycles to a nearby construction site. At the earliest dawn, the buns were sold out in half an hour. You can earn more than ten yuan from a pot of buns.

With this money, the family's daily expenses are enough. The eldest brother-in-law can save whatever he earns.

Just because the second sister has nothing to do now.

We all ate here on the first day of the new year and walked away after the meal, because the second sister stayed behind to wash up and help clean the inside and outside.

The man was so honest that he had nothing to say, so Lin Yutong said: "Second sister, if you don't want to go to the factory before the end of the year, you can work as a warehouse keeper for me."

I am a local, honest person, and I never say that I am obsessed with rights. I want to be an official and take care of things. If such a person joins his own factory, it will only be beneficial and not harmful.

Keeping it in the warehouse, don't worry about whether she is in charge or not, but having this person there is a shock in itself. Anyone who wants to make a monster has to be a little cautious.

"The salary is not high, 350 a month." Lin Yutong said.

Then this is definitely not low.

On the contrary, it was because of the embarrassment on the second sister's face: "Isn't this...isn't this bad?"

"It's okay!" Lin Yutong told her the purpose of asking her to go in detail. When she heard that she needed a decoration janitor, she immediately agreed: "Then I'm not stupid! I can't look down on my own things anymore. Before.

Those thread spindles in the factory are always lost when others keep them, but I have never made any mistakes in keeping them."

It is this honesty that is used.
To be continued...
