"This is the first year of construction of the factory. Such good results cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of everyone."
Chen Lishu looked at the leaders of several departments and said with a smile.
Yesterday, she looked at the annual report compiled by the financial department. The factory's net profit this year successfully exceeded one million.
"Well, everyone knows my character very well. I don't want to say anything else to encourage mobilization. Everyone has been very hard this year. I discussed it with Mr. Nan and prepared a red envelope for everyone here."
Chen Lishu said and looked at Nan Haitao.
I saw him take out a stack of red envelopes from the drawer and hand them to each person according to the department and name on them.
Everyone took the red envelope in their hands and their eyes lit up when they felt the thickness.
"As for the grassroots employees, let's not give out gifts or anything like that. Let's just do something practical. Let's double the last month's salary for everyone."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Xingwang and Wang Aixiang took the lead in applauding.
"In addition, starting from today, the factory will no longer accept any orders. In these two days, everyone will lead their departments to complete the finishing work before the Spring Festival, including inventory counting and machine maintenance, to ensure smooth production as soon as the work starts after the new year.
"
After the meeting, the leaders of each department returned to their offices and opened the secret red envelopes. After counting them, they were shocked to find that there were as many as five hundred yuan!
The bonus is actually more than other people’s salary in a year.
When the employees in the factory heard that the year-end benefit was an extra month's salary, the whole factory was excited.
"Giving money is much more affordable than giving things. Mr. Chen is so considerate. With this money, I can buy a lot of things for my family. I heard that the department store had a sale two years ago, so I happened to buy a wool blanket."
"Yesterday, my mother asked me when the factory would distribute the goods. My second sister had brought the goods home a long time ago. She has been showing off in front of me for the past two days to see if I would shut her mouth when I took the money back.
"
"My partner has been clamoring to buy a bicycle, so I will pick one up immediately after this expenditure."
"..."
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the factory officially stopped production.
In the afternoon, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong took their children and got on the train home with Li Xiulan and Gu Xingmin.
Seeing that Zhao Qiuyue was left alone at home, Chen Lishu also invited her to go home with everyone to celebrate the New Year, but she refused.
How could she, an outsider, have the nerve to disturb others during the Chinese New Year? She might as well stay at home and look after the house.
Since her mother passed away last year, she has seen through her brother and sister-in-law's behavior, and she has never been back home again.
Mom is gone, and that place is no longer her home.
She would only be away for ten days at most when she returned to her hometown, so Chen Lishu didn't force it.
The children were very excited to get together on the train. Gu Lin and his younger brothers and sisters played games and ran back and forth.
The adults sat on the bed and chatted wordlessly.
"This time the relationship between the second brother and the second sister-in-law is very tense." Zhang Xiaoju and Chen Lishu's family were in the same carriage. After the two sisters got together, Zhang Xiaoju whispered to her about the situation of Gu Xingmin and his wife.
They are all in the same shopping mall, and the stores are not far away, so they are the first to know about anything.
"That woman is very mean-spirited. She hangs out in front of my second brother and sister-in-law from time to time every day. The two of them have had several quarrels because of that woman. There is a lot of gossip in the mall now."
Chen Lishu couldn't help but be curious: "Is the second brother related to that woman?"
Zhang Xiaoju shook her head: "I'm not sure, but one time I did catch my second brother secretly giving money to that woman."
Chen Lishu: "Second sister-in-law didn't ask what happened?"
"Why didn't you ask? But the second brother insisted that the second sister-in-law was wrong." Zhang Xiaoju said and sighed: "I used to think that the second brother was very good at talking. He made the second sister-in-law so happy every time. If Xingye had him,
It would be good if you can speak half of it. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with being honest, at least there won't be so much fuss."
Chen Lishu said in her heart that if a man changes his mind, it has nothing to do with being dishonest.
The family got off the train at noon the next day.
After receiving a call in advance, Gu Shoufu drove a carriage to pick up people early in the morning. When he saw everyone leaving the station, he hurriedly greeted them happily.
I haven't seen many children in nearly a year, and they have all grown up a lot, especially the two little ones in the arms of Gu Xingdong and Gu Xingye. They were still babies in their swaddling clothes when they came back last year. This year, they can call themselves grandpa.
Looking at his wife and children, Gu Shoufu felt extremely happy. He called the adults and children to get on the bus, raised his whip and cracked it in the air, and the horse started walking immediately.
In the village, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Xingguo and their three children had already cleaned their house. Firewood was burning in the stoves and stoves, and the whole house was very warm.
Zhang Qin was busy cooking in the kitchen, while Gu Hong was helping her mother add firewood.
When she had almost prepared all the dishes, she heard voices in the yard. Knowing that everyone was back, she wiped her hands on her apron and turned around to greet them.
"Sister-in-law." Chen Lishu and others saw Zhang Qin and stepped forward to say hello.
"Both children have grown so big." Looking at Xiao Chengzi and Xiao Bai who were being held in his arms, Zhang Qin felt very curious.
"It's freezing on the road. Come inside quickly. It's warm inside." He said and went to pick up Xiaobai in Gu Xingdong's arms.
The child is not afraid of strangers either, blinking and looking around curiously.
The family entered the house and each went back to their own room to take off their heavy coats. The children couldn't wait to get together and play.
The adults talked for a while, and then Zhang Qin started to greet everyone to eat.
"The factory is also making children's clothing now. Children grow up quickly, so I chose a few outfits for the children based on my second brother's Lin Lin and others' reference."
After dinner, Chen Lishu gave the new clothes she brought back to Gu Song and her three brothers.
Gu Song will graduate from junior high school this year. His height has increased rapidly in the past two years, almost catching up with Gu Xingguo.
When the three brothers and sisters saw the new clothes, they happily said to Chen Lishu, "Thank you, third aunt."
"This dress is really nice, Mom, can I try it on?" Gu Hong looked at the new clothes curiously, then turned to ask Zhang Qin.
Zhang Qin smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Gu Xingdong suddenly stood up: "Mom, Dad, Li Shu and I will take the children back to our parents' home."
Gu Shoufu: "Go ahead. The other side knows you are coming back and must be waiting for you."
Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong dressed their three children, then took the things for everyone and went to Chen's house together.
As expected, Chen Mandun and Wu Chunmei were waiting. They were very happy to see the couple coming, especially the arrival of their two little grandsons. The couple held them in their arms and were reluctant to let go.
