Yu Haiyang and Zhang Lili each harbored resentment towards each other, but now they were tied to the same boat and had no choice but to continue on this path...
Lin Yu wasn't particularly interested in the affairs of these two people, as long as it didn't affect Ou Manqing.
The three of them got together to chat and discuss things for the New Year.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, every household is preparing for the holiday.
The factory had just shipped out its last batch of goods to Beicheng when Li Lanhua drove away.
By the time she returned, it was already time for the factory to close for the holidays.
At this time last year, Xie Xinyu and Ruyi were still alive, and Song Meili spent the New Year with them.
She's all alone this year.
"Would you like to come to our house for the Chinese New Year?" Lin Yu asked her.
Ou Manqing also said, "If you're worried about Xiaoyu having too many family members, come to my house instead."
It must be so lonely to spend the Spring Festival alone at the educated youth settlement.
Song Meili shook her head: "No need, Zhou Huanan and I are already together, it's already agreed."
Gu Yunze is definitely going to the Lin family's place, leaving only her and Zhou Huanan.
Song Meili has already told him that they want to eat hot pot!
Hearing that she had a plan, Lin Yu nodded: "Okay, then I'll give you two packets of hot pot base."
Song Meili's eyes lit up: "Great! I love eating that."
Lin Yu took it from the Space Supermarket last time, and Song Meili became addicted to it after just one bite.
Ou Manqing also liked it: "I want one too."
"Okay, okay, everyone gets a share."
She knew that no one could resist the allure of hot pot, so her family decided to have hot pot for Chinese New Year too.
A few days later, Li Lanhua returned from Beicheng.
On this trip, Lin Yu also gave her another task: to buy some local specialties from Beicheng.
On the last day of work at the food factory, all employees gathered in an open space to distribute New Year's goods.
Everyone received a local specialty, a gift package produced by the factory, and their salary.
"Everyone, take your things home after you finish work today. Your annual leave starts tomorrow." Lin Yu stood on the stage and spoke through the megaphone that Lin Yi had modified once again.
A cheer erupted from below.
So the members of several brigades watched as those who went to work in Lianhua Brigade returned carrying several large bags of things.
What are you carrying?
One of the women said, "This was given out by the factory."
Because of her answer, the people who had asked the questions all crowded around to look at their New Year's goods.
"Wow, so many!"
"These are pastries? Such precious things, and you just shared them with us?"
The woman nodded proudly: "It's just that our driver brought it back from the north of the city; we don't have it here."
"From the North City! That's wonderful!"
Some of the older women even slapped their thighs and said, "Why didn't I give it a try back then?"
Someone replied to her, "They don't want someone as old as you."
The food factory recruits employees from other teams, mostly young people.
Because they are easy to manage and have plenty of energy.
Only those who take care of their own brigade would hire older women like Grandma Lin.
The old woman then said, "I will definitely send my daughter next time I'm hiring."
With such great benefits, it would be foolish not to take the opportunity.
Although her daughter wasn't selected last time, it might not be the case next time.
Many people think this way, even if they don't say it out loud.
Those who had already been hired puffed out their chests, feeling quite proud of themselves.
They're not much different from those who can go to the city to work as laborers.
After all, they don't need to rent a house and can go home for meals every day.
She can take care of the elderly and children at home, and also go to work to earn money.
Not to mention the great job benefits.
This year, the factory expanded production, which increased profits, and each of them received a bonus.
They didn't tell anyone else about this, for fear of them causing trouble.
What if I accidentally lose this job?
Everyone in the family knows that their child is able to earn money entirely thanks to the food factory.
Many people now have a higher opinion of the Lotus Brigade.
Lin Aiguo experienced this very deeply.
He is now very popular when he goes out to meetings and socializes.
Invite him to smoke, treat him to a meal, or just chat with him.
Most of them wanted to inquire about the food factory.
Following Lin Yu's instructions, Lin Aiguo dismissed all these people.
After finishing the last meeting, Lin Aiguo was exhausted and planned to take a car back to the brigade. On the way, he encountered Lu Yunfeng, who was driving an official car.
"Captain Lin, where are you going? Let me see you off."
Lin Aiguo smiled and shook his head: "No need, Secretary."
Lu Yunfeng still urged, "Captain, Uncle Lin, get in the car quickly, I have something to discuss with your brigade."
Lin Aiguo then stopped and got into the car.
"What brings Secretary Lu to our brigade?"
Lu Yunfeng said with a smile, "You don't know yet, do you? Gu Yunze is my comrade-in-arms."
He planned to visit him before the Lunar New Year, as he was going back to Beicheng for the holiday.
Lin Aiguo only found out about this now, which explains why many things happened before.
"Is it because of this relationship that Xiaoyu often comes to you for help?"
He shook his head: "Comrade Lin Yu only came to me about factory matters; he had no personal motives."
He wouldn't agree if Lin Yu approached him for her own selfish reasons.
Lin Aiguo nodded: "That's good."
Lu Yunfeng understood what he meant: "Don't worry, my starting point is all for the sake of the commune."
During this time, Lin Aiguo observed that he was indeed wholeheartedly dedicated to the development of the commune, so he said, "You've done a good job."
He's hundreds of times better than the previous secretary.
At least he cared about the people of the commune, rather than focusing solely on his own political achievements.
However, with this food factory, Lu Yunze's political achievements will definitely look very good; it's a mutually beneficial arrangement.
This year, we joined those other brigades that grow greenhouse vegetables, and now Qingshan Commune is going to become famous.
As the car entered a somewhat bumpy dirt road, Lin Aiguo looked out and knew he had arrived home.
The members of the brigade had only ever seen Qiao Feng's military jeep and the food factory's large truck.
I never thought I'd still see government-owned businesses these days.
When they saw Lin Aiguo get off, everyone gathered around: "Captain, why did you come back in this car?"
At this moment, Lu Yunfeng also got out of the car. The commune members all recognized this commune secretary, and now they understood.
"Does this car belong to the Party Secretary?"
Lu Yunfeng was a very easy-going person. He smiled and said, "No, it belongs to the government. I'm just driving it."
These days, everything belongs to the public, so Lu Yunfeng wouldn't dare claim it as his own.
The villagers didn't care about any of that; they were just curious because it was the first time they had ever seen a private car like this.
After they had all finished reading, Lu Yunfeng followed Captain Lin away.
"Both the team and the factory are on holiday, so Gu Zhiqing should be at the educated youth compound right now."
Lu Yunfeng told him and then went to find Gu Yunze on his own.
When they arrived at the educated youth compound, Lu Yunfeng happened to be there.
"You little brat, you don't need to come looking for me anymore now that you've finished your mission, right?"
