Chapter 26: Happy red envelope, New Year's Eve dinner dream of returning home
January 27, 1998, New Year's Eve.
After lunch, I felt that time was passing so slowly. Why didn’t I get off work? Why didn’t I get off work? Finally, I finally got until five o’clock in the afternoon. I got off work in half an hour.
The office began to become restless and became obviously absent-minded. In fact, from noon, all the colleagues' work at hand had already come to an end. Throughout the afternoon, everyone seemed to be working, but in fact they were all privately.
We were discussing how to spend the next holiday. Some said we wanted to go hiking, some said we wanted to go to the Guannei, some said we wanted to go to Dongguan to find fellow villagers, some said we wanted to go to greet relatives, and some said we wanted to go to wish our relatives a happy new year.
When talking about the customs of celebrating the New Year in my hometown and the mouth-watering delicacies, it instantly attracted the approval of the people around me. For a moment, it was so exciting.
I occasionally interjected a few words next to me. Listening to their discussions, I had already made plans. My classmates couldn't contact me for the time being, so the possibility of asking them to celebrate the New Year together basically does not exist. I will be with my colleagues.
It is unlikely that I have only been here for a few days and I am not familiar with them. Besides, people must have made arrangements. So, I plan to go back to the dormitory after dinner to see what Long Yanqiu and the others are.
If you have time and have enough people, you can play poker and play him all night long.
While secretly making a small plan, Manager Mu suddenly notified all the management staff to come to the conference room for a meeting. It turned out that the factory director was going to deliver a New Year's speech. He said that this was the last meeting of this year. Try to be brief and concise, mainly to summarize
I reviewed the factory's achievements last year, thanked everyone for their hard work over the past year, and then looked forward to 1998, hoping that everyone would continue to work hard, and finally said a happy New Year, spread their hands, announced the holiday for three days, and the meeting ended.
Everyone cheered, but I clearly saw the disappointment in many people's eyes. Isn't it a good thing to have a holiday? Why do they all seem to be unhappy? At this moment, the factory manager smiled strangely and shouted loudly
He said, sorry, I forgot that there is another thing, which is to send a red bag, and then the whole factory will have a dinner party.
Those who had turned around and were about to leave quickly slipped back. I understood that they were unhappy just now, thinking that there were no red envelopes this year, but they didn't expect the factory manager to joke with everyone. As soon as the door opened, Mei Qing
He came in with a pallet, and there were a bunch of red envelopes on it. The factory manager started to call out the name. Whoever called him would come to him. The factory manager would pick up a red envelope with a name written from the pallet.
He handed his hands to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
I didn't think so, and thought it was definitely not mine. We have only been here for a few days, so I was a little absent-minded. But I heard my name soon. Is it me? I was a little hesitant and didn't dare to move. Li Hongmei next to me hurriedly reminded me in a low voice.
I said, Tang, I've called you, come over quickly.
I quickly stepped up two steps and walked over, respectfully received the red envelope from the factory director, and said "Thank you". The factory director looked at me and replied, "Tang, do it well, come on."
Although it was only a few short words, it made my heart warm and I was full of expectations for the future. To be honest, I really didn't expect the factory to prepare a red envelope for me, which was very thin, probably just
It costs a few dozen yuan. But it doesn’t depend on how much money it is. It mainly means that the factory attaches importance to me and shows that the factory has affirmed me for working in the past ten days. The factory can treat a new employee like me.
I was so excited to care about it.
Although I pretended not to care on the surface, I was anxious to know how much the red envelope was in. However, we must reflect the quality and image of the Chinese. Don’t be so impatient. OK? After the meeting,
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet, I opened the red envelope tremblingly. Wow! I almost screamed, and there were two pictures of four great men lying neatly, 200 yuan. If I were in school, this would be my monthly living expenses.
!
This is the second surprise I got after coming to Shenzhen. I thought, this Korean is still OK, and foreign capitalists are not just trying to squeeze our blood and sweat like the book, and they are still very humane.
ah.
Someone may think that we have no prospects, it’s just 200 yuan. Look at your happiness, is it necessary? Here, I want to give you a positive answer, yes, in that era, workers worked overtime every day
A monthly salary is only three or four hundred yuan, so 200 yuan is a considerable income. Only after experiencing that era can you feel the joy and happiness that suddenly gets 200 yuan in vain, absolutely full of joy and happiness.
.
More than ten or twenty years later, many friends saw certain news on TV. When someone delivered things to the needy, they burst into tears and cried in a mess. They were a little disdainful and said that those people were too fake.
Actors, I just disagree and asked them, if the country will give you a big house in BJ now, which has been renovated and has complete furniture and appliances, will you cry with excitement?
The friend was stunned and said immediately, "It's certain, a big house. Haha, it's over. Everything has to be considered in the specific environment at that time. People today don't see the ancient times."
The moon, this moon once shone on the ancients.
Afterwards, more than 200 people in the factory held an annual dinner in the third canteen of the industrial park. There were more than 20 tables, each table with about ten people, ten dishes, four meat and six vegetables, and a box of beer.
I am very happy, I believe that at this moment, every colleague present must be excited and full of emotion!
For them, a year has been long and difficult, and it has passed quietly. In the past year, they have spent time together with tension, happiness, and helpless work; on the factory road,
In the dormitory, the funny laughter still sounded; in the workshop and in the office, the nervous and busy figures were still in front of me; in the playground, the figures of you chasing and running around are still vivid in my mind.
Replaying the scenes of the past year again, how many unforgettable scenes are still vivid. These scenes are still fresh in memory and have left a deep mark in everyone's mind, for 365 days
The time is enough to allow everyone to experience the flavors of life in the world.
At six o'clock, Manager Mu grinned and announced that the New Year's Eve dinner of Chengxian Company had officially begun. In an instant, the whole restaurant became lively, and the sound of toasting and greetings for the New Year came one after another.
We children who are far away from our hometown, bid farewell to our parents, and come out to work for a year, only at this moment can we feel happy and relaxed. Although we come from different places, we are working for the same goal - to make money and support our families.
And when we got together, we lived under the same roof, and became close companions. We had no utilitarianism, but only pure friendship, youthful, passionate, daring to do, full of vitality, full of vitality, and without any guilt.
For this title, it is really called:
It was a pleasant meal for colleagues.
Talking about things with cups and cups.
Only when you get drunk will you stop being separated.
We'll get together next year.
When I followed Mei Qing and the others to toast the factory manager, I suddenly found that there were women who were not tall at the table, wearing bright leather boots, dressed very delicately and fashionable. I couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Get up, is this a colleague from our factory? But I have been in the factory for half a month, why have I never seen her before? Could it be that the factory manager's relationship? It's impossible, she looks over thirty years old
, and speak Chinese.
When I returned to my table, I couldn't help but secretly asked Long Yanqiu, and then I realized that she was a Korean nanny and chef named Tang Yunying, from Dazhou, Sichuan. She usually lives in the building where Koreans live.
Upstairs, doing housework, buying groceries, cooking and so on.
Ao, so that's it. Her surname is Tang. With this, I actually felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy towards her.
After eating and drinking, the factory director was still in full swing. After all, he was only twenty-seven or eight years old, and he was also a playful age. He asked two drivers to take all our office staff to a KTV called Yulong Villa to sing and dance.
In the hall, I entered a large private room!
This is the first time I have entered such a luxurious KTV. It's really luxurious decoration. The whole room is magnificent, the lights are shining, and it's beautiful. Everyone couldn't help but get excited. I'll follow them and sing and dance.
, under the changing lights of the dance hall, I vent my thoughts about my hometown and parents in my heart.
It's so delicious. Our family is sitting at the table eating hot dumplings. Father, mother, brother, sister, third brother, fourth brother, everyone is here. I just picked up a dumpling and was about to put it in my mouth.
! "Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong", someone knocked on the door, and I hurriedly got up to open the door, but it was strange. How was this door locked? I tried hard to open it, but I couldn't open it, and wanted to ask my family for help
, but couldn't make a sound.
At this time, the knock on the door became louder and more urgent. As soon as I tried hard, my eyes opened and I woke up. I found that it was already dawn. It turned out that someone was knocking on the door of my dormitory. I grabbed the watch on the head of the bed and saw it, be good, behave
It was already 8:50, and I suddenly remembered that during the dinner last night, I made an appointment with a few colleagues to go hiking together today.
Unexpectedly, I forgot to set the alarm clock, but I didn't wake up. I quickly put on a coat, opened the door, rubbed my eyes, and saw that Li Hongmei and Mei Qingzheng were standing at the door. Li Hongmei was holding a box of fried rice noodles in her hand.
As soon as I showed up, I immediately shouted, "Oh, you lazy, you know that you haven't gotten up yet. Look, I bought all the breakfast for you."
Oh, sorry, sorry, I've overslept, I'll go brush my teeth first. Why don't you go down and wait for me for a while? Are they all here?
Then I'll definitely be there, I'll wait for you.
Chapter completed!
