In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. It is already the New Year's Eve on January 14th, and in a few days it will be the New Year's Eve. The snow in Sijiu City during these two days was particularly heavy.
Zhang Zhonghua stood in front of the window, looking at the window the whole world was covered with snow and silver.
The heavy snow has stopped, but the sky is still covered with clouds. From time to time, a few snowflakes fall from the sky, flying in the air as the whistling north wind swirls, and finally fall to the ground, blending into the snow and disappearing
not see.
The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and I hope there will be a good harvest next year.
It has been half a year since Zhang Zhonghua came to this world. Looking back on his experience in the past six months, he was filled with emotion.
From joining the position of acting deputy section chief to removing the word "agent" after the National Day cultural performance.
From helping He Yuzhu avoid taking the blame for stealing, to helping him successfully get married, and completely getting rid of the Jia family's blood-sucking behavior on him.
Until in order to help the Lou family cheat Xu Damao, a bad guy, and solve the problem of material shortage in the steel rolling mill, achieving a win-win situation with two birds with one stone.
It can be said that everything went smoothly in the past six months and the results were outstanding.
Since Zhang Zhonghua last provided pork to the steel rolling mill, he has handed over two thousand kilograms of pork to the steel rolling mill. However, this time due to Zhang Zhonghua's request, it was no longer him who took the note to the Finance Department to collect the money, but Deputy Factory Li
The chief gave him the cash directly.
Although Zhang Zhonghua's name was not on the note written by the factory director, there were many people in the agency, and Zhang Zhonghua was afraid of being bumped into.
He also reached an agreement with Deputy Director Li that from now on, Zhang San would provide two whole pigs to the rolling mill every week. Zhang Zhonghua would no longer be involved in all transactions. Zhang San would be responsible for everything, and the money would also be given to Zhang San.
Zhang Zhonghua was completely freed from this incident, leaving Zhang Zhonghua completely clean and spotless.
While waiting for the wind and rain, ride the wind and transform into a dragon.
And Zhang San also began to wander around various black markets in Forty-Nine City, meeting Zhang Zhonghua every ten days to get supplies.
Zhang Zhonghua didn't take any of the money from the sale, and asked Zhang San to exchange most of it for antique jade and gold.
Money itself has no value, and its value will only become less and less as time goes by.
Antique jade and gold will only become more and more valuable. The most important thing is that there are relatively few fake antiques these days. Even if they are fake, they are imitations from the past. As long as the price is kept low enough, you will never lose money.
Moreover, most of the antiques are genuine, so it is really difficult to lose money.
For this reason, Zhang Zhonghua also asked Zhang San to start specializing in the study of antique jades, and he found many former pawn shops and antique shops to learn from. These unique skills that were previously unknown to the outside world, now he can teach you whatever you want to learn.
After all, many people don't have enough to eat, and there are still a few people who are interested in studying antique jade. These courtiers can't use their eating skills. As long as they give money and things, they can say anything.
When Zhang Zhonghua was standing in front of the window summarizing the half-year period, the radio from the steel rolling mill suddenly rang.
"All steel rolling mill workers please pay attention, all steel rolling mill workers please pay attention, all steel rolling mill workers please pay attention."
Hearing the sound of the radio, everyone in the steel rolling mill, whether workers or cadres, regular workers or apprentices, put down their work, and those who were chatting also closed their mouths and began to listen to the radio seriously.
Because according to past practice, New Year's benefits will be distributed today in Xiaonian, and in order to let the worker brothers have a good New Year, wages may be paid in advance.
The benefits vary every year, but I heard that this year's benefits are very generous, so the worker brothers are still looking forward to the New Year benefits.
As for paying wages in advance, it's hard to say. After all, this is not a hard and fast rule.
For example, last year the Chinese New Year happened to fall on February 1st, so although wages were paid a few days in advance, they were January's wages.
The January salary was paid the year before last, and it was the New Year in less than a week, so the salary was not paid in advance.
I just don’t know if wages will be paid in advance this year.
"According to the decision of the factory committee, in order to allow all steel rolling mill employees to have a good year, February wages will be paid in advance this afternoon..."
Many employees couldn't help but get a little excited after hearing this. Although the money they received now will be gone at the end of the month, in order to live a prosperous New Year, it won't matter if they won't even have radish and cabbage in the next few days and can only eat stick noodles and steamed buns.
Because for the Chinese people, apart from life and death, the New Year is the most important event, so there is an annual Spring Festival transportation that is as grand as an epic.
"And no employee was given half a pound of pork and..."
When he heard that there was half a kilogram of pork, cheers resounded throughout the steel rolling mill. Even the howling north wind could not cover up the cheers that soared to the sky.
In workshops, office buildings, and other places with many people, you can no longer even hear the harsh broadcast sound from the loudspeakers.
This is half a pound of pork. In previous years, I would have been thankful to have two ounces of meat.
Although half a catty is not much, it is only worth a few cents, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and even if you have money and tickets, you can't buy meat.
You can only buy it on the black market, but it costs at least one yuan, and even meat is in short supply on the black market.
In the workshop, Qin Huairu was still worried. It was already the Chinese New Year, the family only had carrots and cabbage, and her mother-in-law refused to pay for it.
If we really had to rely on carrots and cabbage to celebrate the New Year and lose ourselves in front of the neighbors, that old godly woman of the Jia Zhang family would be able to bury her to death. Now that there is no support from He Yuzhu, the Jia family will probably be very lively this year.
This half a pound of pork saved her life.
After getting off work in the afternoon, all the employees in the steel rolling mill were carrying things in their hands, wages in their pockets, and happy smiles on their faces. They were all thinking about how to give their families a big surprise when they returned home.
Zhang Zhonghua did not ride a bicycle because of the heavy snow, but he carried his things and walked out with the crowd after get off work, with a smile on his face.
Although he does not lack these things, things like smile and happiness are contagious.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the workers around him, listening to their cheerful conversations and imagining the happy scenes during the New Year, he became happier as his mood grew, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw the third uncle, Yan Bugui, standing at the door, shaking his head from time to time, as if he was admiring the snow.
"Third uncle, are you enjoying the snow here?" Zhang Zhonghua walked up to him and joked with him with a smile.
"No, no, I don't appreciate the snow. I'm just happy to see the heavy snow."
"Yes, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. In recent years, we have had good harvests, and next year will definitely be a good harvest."
"It's a good harvest, it's a good harvest. The grain harvests have been poor in the past few years. Thinking about it, it's really, ugh!" There was some emotion in Yan Bugui's voice, even with some sadness.
"Okay, third uncle, it's already a young year. We don't want to be unhappy anymore. People still have to look forward. Don't you think the past few years have been good?" Zhang Zhonghua didn't expect that Yan Bugui would think of those years.
