Chapter 312: Posting couplets and setting off firecrackers
She sighed softly, although this person's gossiping behavior in the morning was indeed very annoying.
But Lin Yunxi could tell from her words, expression and attitude that she now truly realized her problem and knew she was wrong.
"Okay, get up. I hope you will think twice before you speak or do anything in the future."
"Don't slander others without investigation like you did today. Fortunately, it wasn't me you met today."
"If it were an ordinary little girl, I'm afraid she would be traumatized for the rest of her life by the groundless accusations and prejudice she received this morning."
This is all Lin Yunxi has to say. The prerequisite for learning how to do things is to first learn how to be a good person, otherwise you will not go far in your career.
"Thank you, Director Lin. I will keep your words in mind and will never forget them for the rest of my life." Qi Xiufen said half excitedly and half regretfully.
"Well, I have something to do so I'll leave first."
After leaving, Lin Yunxi walked along the streets of Beijing City towards the palace compound, which took only a few minutes.
Along the way, the New Year atmosphere was very strong. Every household was decorated with lights and lanterns, and couplets were posted. The sound of firecrackers rang out one after another.
Lin Yunxi was inexplicably in a good mood and immediately quickened his pace.
When she was almost home, she heard the laughter and noise of several children.
Fang Qingshuo was pasting couplets with his younger brother and sister. Xiao Yan, Xiao Li and their husbands were standing by, keeping an eye on the children's safety.
Seeing their mother/aunt coming back, Yanyan and Yueyue trotted over, pointing excitedly at the two big red lanterns hanging on the gate.
"Mom, look at the lanterns I hung for my aunts."
"Aunt, I hung it on one side too, and it's so neat!"
Lin Yunxi squatted down, hugged the two little guys in his arms, and gave them a loud kiss on the cheek.
She praised gently, "Wow, did you guys do this? It's really amazing."
Yanyan and Yueyue smiled happily after hearing the compliment, and they both leaned over and kissed their mother/aunt on the face in return.
Standing on the ladder, looking at such a heartwarming scene, Fang Qingshuo also asked for praise: "Aunt, I posted all the couplets at home."
Hearing this, Lin Yunxi did not ignore the eldest son in the family. She gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
"Qing Shuo is also great. The couplets are posted neatly. You can tell at a glance that it took a lot of effort."
After hearing the praise from his aunt, Fang Qingshuo smiled like a sunflower, and his hands moved more carefully and diligently.
After the couplets were posted, Xiao Yan's husband took out a large bunch of firecrackers from the house and strung them on a long bamboo pole.
The three children held one end of the bamboo pole together, and when the firecrackers were lit, a loud crackling sound was heard instantly to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
Lin Yunxi hid inside the door and watched, covering his ears with his hands and dodging backwards, fearing that he would be hit by the firecrackers.
Xiao Yan was very considerate and stayed by her side. Every Lin Yunxi she had met before was confident and calm, like a fairy who had strayed into the human world.
This was the first time Xiao Yan saw her childish side.
Lin Yunxi was not shy either. He took Xiao Yan's arm and hid behind her.
Such an intimate action made Xiao Yan stunned and felt warm in her heart. This was a sign that Director Lin trusted her and did not treat her as an outsider.
After the firecrackers were over, Lin Yunxi embarrassedly let go of his hands that were tightly holding Xiao Yan's arms.
"I'm not afraid of anything except mollusks and the sound of firecrackers." Lin Yunxi excused himself.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan also smiled knowingly: "Who says it's not true? Even though I grew up in the countryside, I still get goose bumps when I see caterpillars."
Having said this, Lin Yunxi remembered the red envelope she had put in her bag in advance, and she took it out.
There are four in total, one for Xiao Yan, Xiao Li and their husbands. The four of them have worked hard in the past six months and have been busy until New Year's Eve.
"Happy New Year. I'll finish the work later and you can go home to celebrate the New Year. You can come back to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
As a boss, it is only right for her to give a red envelope as a reward, just as an early New Year's greeting.
"Oh, Director Lin, you are so polite. We cannot accept this red envelope." Xiao Yan, as the backbone of the group, was the first to refuse.
Director Lin already pays the two families a very high salary every month. Excluding the usual expenses for food and lodging, they have made a lot of money this year.
After having money, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li's families have the confidence to return to the village to celebrate the New Year. They also discussed renovating the house in their hometown in early spring next year.
Then I will save money for a few years and buy a house in Beijing like my eldest sister did.
With a house, it is not only convenient to go to work, but also possible to bring the children over to enjoy a good education.
Although Xiao Yan, Xiao Li and others were privately employed by Director Lin, they were also considered half of the pharmaceutical factory's staff.
Director Zhang of the branch factory has clearly promised that the children of the two families can go to school in the future at the school affiliated to the First Branch of Huaxi Pharmaceutical in Beijing.
