After the execution, Grandma Zhou took her two children to the crematorium to collect Yi Zhonghai's ashes.
Afterwards, Aunt Zhou hired two more people to go outside the city and hastily bury the ashes.
"Xiaofang, Xiaobao, kneel down and kowtow, burn some paper money for your father!" Aunt Zhou said expressionlessly, looking at the newly built grave mound.
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah...!"
Following Aunt Zhou's instructions, the two children knelt before the grave, weeping as they burned the paper money they had brought.
After finishing all that, the three stood for a while, then turned and walked into the city without looking back...
Ironically, the place where Yi Zhonghai was buried this time was right next to the grave of the deaf old lady, and the two became new neighbors.
I wonder if these two will start fighting underground?
With Yi Zhonghai's official departure from the online community, the entire courtyard returned to calm.
Of course, Qin Huairu is an exception, because she is still undergoing reformation.
Not only that, she was also paraded through the streets once a month, which was extremely tragic.
...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's Lunar New Year's Eve.
After distributing year-end bonuses this morning, the research institute can officially begin its holiday.
In the logistics department's warehouse, a long queue had formed, and items were being distributed in an orderly manner.
"Li Yong, two catties of soybean oil, five catties each of pork and apples, one large carp, and ten catties of wheat flour. Come over here to sign and collect them."
"They're here, they're here."
Li Yong quickly raised his hand to signal, then happily ran ahead.
The other employees who were waiting for their benefits to be distributed immediately erupted in excitement upon hearing that so many things had been given out.
"Goodness, are you trying to kill time? Why are you sending out so much stuff?"
"Hey! What do you know? I heard that this is a benefit that several leaders worked together to get for us workers."
"You know what, working under a leader like that gives you hope for the future."
...
Just as these employees were discussing this, several leaders, including Sun Zhengguo, arrived at the scene.
However, they just stood there watching and did not go up to disturb the employees distributing items.
"Geng Jingzhong, five catties each of soybean oil, pork, and apples, two large carp, and twenty catties of wheat flour. Please come forward and sign to receive them."
"Wow! How come Master Geng has so much more stuff than Li Yong?"
Upon hearing someone raise a question, a knowledgeable person immediately stepped forward.
"You don't know anything! Master Geng processed antennas a while ago, but he didn't get paid a single penny. He essentially gave it to everyone as a benefit. What's wrong with him taking a little more?"
Upon hearing this person's explanation, everyone realized they had misunderstood Master Geng, and they all blushed and remained silent.
The items are still being distributed...
What was unexpected was that when it came time for the managers to distribute the benefits, the employees were all dumbfounded.
“Sun Zhengguo, five catties each of apples and pork, and ten catties of flour.”
"Li Shengli, five catties each of apples and pork, and ten catties of flour."
"Zhang Huaibei,..."
"Chen Wanchun,..."
"Liu Zhan,..."
“Zhou Weimin, …”
...
Several members of the Standing Committee received the same treatment and benefits, yet they were treated worse than even basic employees.
This made the workers below hardly believe their ears.
But the facts were clear: the leaders quickly stepped forward to sign the papers and received the corresponding benefits; there was no fraud involved in the entire process.
"This...this...the benefits the leaders give are not as good as mine?"
Li Yong, who hadn't left yet, didn't know what to say at this moment.
But it's easy to tell from his reddened eyes that he must have been deeply moved.
“No! I disagree.” Master Geng stepped forward at this moment.
"Dear leaders, I know you take care of everyone, but you can't do this. Otherwise, we won't feel at ease taking these things home!"
"Yes, yes, Master Geng is right. While everyone is still here, let's redistribute the resources. We can't let the leaders suffer losses."
...
Look, this is exactly the effect that Sun Zhengguo, the sixth brother, wanted.
This was the moment for him to turn the tide.
He stepped forward at the opportune moment, pressing his hands down to indicate that he had something to say.
The workers were quite cooperative; seeing that their leader had something to say, they all stopped making noise.
"Comrades, we appreciate your kindness, but you deserve it all. As frontline workers, you have made outstanding contributions to the country's development by working tirelessly and sweating on the front lines."
We are in the rear, and we cannot hold you back. All we can do is this small token, so please accept it.
At the same time, I would also like to take this opportunity, on behalf of all cadres, to extend my greetings to all employees, wishing you all a happy Spring Festival and all the best.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!!"
Immediately, enthusiastic applause erupted in the warehouse, and the workers' hands turned red from clapping.
Next, Li Shengli took the stage and commended this year's outstanding individuals, excellent worker representatives, and active groups one by one.
Of course, there were also plenty of rewards, such as bicycle tickets, radio tickets, watch tickets, and sewing machine tickets, and several of these big-ticket items were given away as rewards.
In addition, all kinds of coupons, such as grain coupons, cloth coupons, meat coupons, washbasins, enamel cups, certificates and awards, were also included.
When the awards were presented, all the cadres participated in the interactive activities, filling the entire warehouse with joy.
Seeing all this, Li Shengli couldn't help but admire Sun Zhengguo, because all of this was done on his advice.
Otherwise, how could this commendation meeting be held here? At the very least, it should be held in a conference room, because that would make it seem more formal.
But Sun Zhengguo said at the time that the workers didn't like meetings, and they especially didn't like listening to reports from the cadres, which is why this situation has come to this.
"Alright, I hereby announce that it is officially a holiday. I wish everyone a happy New Year."
At Sun Zhengguo's command, the workers walked out one after another, joyfully preparing to go home for the Chinese New Year.
But these cadres' task was not yet finished, because they also had to go and comfort the People's Liberation Army soldiers who were on duty.
Compared to the workers, these PLA soldiers work even harder, having to stay at their posts during the Spring Festival without any time to rest.
Therefore, Sun Zhengguo would bring a large amount of supplies to comfort these People's Liberation Army soldiers every year.
Over the years, this has become a common practice.
...
"Ring ring ring".
A bicycle bell rang from afar and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house.
Li Xiuxiu, who was watching the couplets being written at the entrance, quickly went to greet her sister-in-law when she saw her sister-in-law return.
“Rain, you’re already more than four months pregnant, why are you still riding your bike all over the place?”
"It's nothing, sister-in-law, I just brought you some things."
Hearing her sister-in-law say this, Li Xiuxiu realized that there were two large bags tied to the back seat of He Yushui, and she didn't know what was inside.
So she quickly helped, and with great effort, she managed to lift the car over the threshold.
