"Hmph hmph hmph..."
Hu Changsheng hummed a song as he walked home from the store.
When he ran into a neighbor on the way, the neighbor asked him, "Changsheng is back? You seem so happy?"
Hu Changsheng said with a smile, "Yes, we're on holiday."
The neighbor quickly pulled him aside and asked, "Do you get a holiday for the Spring Festival?"
Hu Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, it'll be on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
The neighbor couldn't help but envy: "That's great, our factory never gives us holidays."
Nowadays, factories are also advocating "de-Spring Festivalization," meaning there will be no holiday during the Spring Festival, and at most, people will go home for dinner two hours early.
So when the neighbors heard that Hu Changsheng could have so many days off, they were extremely envious.
When the specialty store was hiring, the salary levels had already been posted, so the neighbors knew that Hu Changsheng's salary was no less than his.
This company is so great that we can still have holidays.
Seeing the envious look in his eyes, Hu Changsheng felt as comfortable as if he had drunk honey water.
It's his own fault for always looking down on me for not having a job.
This person's job wasn't given to him by his father after he retired.
Hu Changsheng's parents had several sons, but the job went to the eldest son, not him.
He was always mocked by this person, who said it was because he had so many brothers.
If you had several sisters like him, wouldn't no one be competing for your job?
Hu Changsheng did envy him at one point, but when he saw his sisters being married off by his parents to an old man just to get a dowry, he no longer envied him at all.
He could not bear to have his sisters support him with their own flesh and blood.
Therefore, even though this neighbor had a job, Hu Changsheng looked down on him.
Now that he has the opportunity to show off in front of him, Hu Changsheng is naturally eager to do so.
"We also gave out this, a gift package from our store."
The neighbor's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the gift package: "My mom bought this gift package a couple of days ago, saying it wasn't cheap."
He added with some doubt, "Could it be that what we're giving you are just scraps?"
Hu Changsheng curled his lip: "Is that something a human would do? Let me tell you, it's not just scraps, there's more stuff in here than what's being sold. Our manager stuffed a lot more stuff into our store."
Lin Shan also told them about this, saying that there was only one bag of melon seeds in the gift package, but he gave them two extra bags. They weren't worth much, and he told them not to be shy.
How could they not be worth anything? They know exactly how well these things sell.
The store manager didn't sell them; he was so generous to give them away.
The neighbor was even more surprised when he heard Hu Changsheng's words. He couldn't believe that there was such a good store manager.
Not only did they give us a big gift package, they also stuffed extra things in there.
Although Hu Changsheng has a job, they have always felt that he won't be able to hold down the job for long.
After all, the shop is run by people from out of town. If they decide they don't want to keep it open anymore, they can just pack up and go home.
Who cares about these employees anymore?
This neighbor was still proud to have a job in a factory.
But now that he sees that Hu Changsheng not only earns the same salary as him, but also has such good benefits, he feels as sour as if he's been drinking vinegar.
Seeing him like this, Hu Changsheng felt refreshed, waved goodbye to him, and went home.
His family was very surprised when they found out he had another holiday and a big gift package.
Hu Changsheng did not tell his family about the bonus. His older brother took over their father's job, which paid forty yuan a month, and he gave thirty yuan to the family.
Hu Changsheng also paid thirty.
He planned to keep the extra bonus for himself.
Although they are all family, he is not favored at home, as each parent has their own favorite child.
He needs to think more about his own future.
His family was unaware of the bonus, but they were pleasantly surprised by his generous gift package.
Mrs. Hu took out a bag of sunflower seeds, but wouldn't let anyone touch the rest, saying they should save them for visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year.
This year I can save some money on buying sunflower seeds.
Hu Changsheng thought about the hundred yuan bonus he still had, so he decided not to argue with her.
His younger sister pouted and was unhappy, so he took her out and bought her candy.
The other three were in a similar situation. When their families saw the gift package and learned that they would have several days off, they were all very happy for them.
Their parents repeatedly told them to work hard and not to get fired for not doing well.
This isn't a factory where jobs are fixed and you don't have to worry about being fired arbitrarily.
Lin Shan had already said when they joined the company that if they didn't perform well, they could hire new employees.
In order to stay in the store, all of them worked very hard and responsibly.
We absolutely dare not let our guard down.
Lin Shan and Lin Yu were also very satisfied with the performance of the four people.
Through Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin's inquiries, they have found out the family situation of the four people.
I've observed several people more closely over this period and know that they are all quite capable at their jobs.
Therefore, Lin Shan never considered replacing him.
After the four of them took the gift bags and bonuses home, Lin Shan and Lin Yu checked them and then closed the shop.
When I got back to the dormitory, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin had already packed their luggage.
They've been wanting to go home for days, and now they can't wait.
Lin Yu's things had already been packed and placed in the dormitory, so the brother and sister could simply return to the dormitory, grab their belongings, and leave.
The family took a bus to Haicheng Railway Station.
Because of the elderly person in the carriage, Lin Yu asked Luo Ping for help this time to buy a soft sleeper carriage.
The three of them booked the entire room; once the door was locked, it was their own private space.
The car rumbled forward, and Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
