Zheng Gan prepared two boxes of seafood. One box contained ten kilograms of wild-caught large prawns, all with two heads, and the other box contained some sea cucumbers, abalone, crabs and the like. These two boxes of seafood were worth three thousand yuan, and they were for Qiao Zhengdong and Lin Gang.
Each person also received two strips of Huazi, two bottles of Maozi, and two boxes of mooncakes. These were the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for relatives and elders. This standard was already very good locally. Grandma was afraid that it would not be possible to mail the seafood, so she directly gave 5,000 yuan to Jiang Feng and asked him to give it to his uncle.
Wang Dongqiang, Zhao Xing, Liu Feng and other good friends also prepared a gift.
What was left were some rice, flour, mooncakes and other things, waiting to be delivered to each employee one by one the next day.
"Oh my God, I almost died of exhaustion this afternoon." Zheng Gan lay down on the bed tired after returning home. He was busy buying and delivering things for the entire afternoon and half a night.
In the past, when he was not at home, there was no need to be so busy for such a big holiday. But now he is married and has his own little family to represent, so every aspect has to be taken into consideration, which is really not easy.
Qiao Xin brought a basin of hot water for him to soak in and massaged his shoulders.
"There's nothing we can do. This happens twice a year. Just wait and see. They'll be delivering things to you starting tomorrow."
People in our country believe in reciprocity. If you give something to someone, as long as they are on the same level as you, you naturally have to return the gift, otherwise you won't even be friends.
"Oh, it's so depressing." Zheng Gan sighed. Thinking of the gift-giving situation during the Spring Festival, he couldn't help but shudder. The money spent was secondary. The key was that he was tired.
The young couple hadn't seen each other for two days, so they quickly washed up and got into bed, hoping to have a baby next year.
......
Early the next morning, Zheng Gan dragged Lin Hao and Jiang Feng, and the three of them drove from house to house to deliver Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. The first place they went to was the home of the village secretary Zheng Shantong.
Zheng Shantong had just finished breakfast at home and was about to go to the brigade to work when he saw three people coming in carrying large and small bags.
"No, Agan, why are you still trying to trick me like this?"
Zheng Gan smiled and put down the things in his hand. "Fifth Master, we are not outsiders, so can't I give something to the elders during the Mid-Autumn Festival? It's not something expensive. If you still want to fight with me, I will be angry."
The things were indeed not too expensive, two boxes of mooncakes, a bag of rice, a box of ordinary white wine, and two packs of ordinary cigarettes, not more than a thousand yuan.
After all, Zheng Shantong is the village secretary, and Zheng Gan still lives in the village. He may need his help in the future, so he can just regard this as an investment.
"Oh, you kid, you really are such a fool. Don't do this again in the future. The village should send you a Mid-Autumn Festival gift. Your sea-hunting tourist area has helped the village a lot." Zheng Shantong sighed.
This is indeed true. After the sea-hunting competition, the popularity of the sea-hunting tourist area has once again exploded. When the tide goes out, many people will come. The farmhouses and small shops in the village have all benefited a lot.
"Okay, Uncle Wu, I won't talk any more. I have to go visit Uncle Jia Gui and his family." After saying hello, Zheng Gan left with the two coolies.
Their next stop was Jia Gui's house, where Jia Teng happened to be.
"It's just right that Uncle Teng is here too. Uncle Gui has left the things for you at home." Zheng Gan placed the mooncakes, rice and other Mid-Autumn Festival gifts in the yard and prepared to leave.
"Don't go!" Jia Gui's loud shout frightened the three people so much that they trembled and stood still.
"Second brother, go buy some vegetables and wine right now, kill a chicken, and cook for the boss and the others to eat here at noon." Jia Gui gave the direct order.
Jia Teng was not vague either. He nodded and started to work.
"Uncle Gui, I don't want to eat anymore. We don't have to be so polite. I have to go to the beach to catch seafood later." Zheng Gan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that he was planning to keep him here for dinner. After hearing that shout just now, he thought he was going to kill him.
Jia Gui glared, quickly came to the gate, and closed it.
"Boss, you can't leave today no matter what. You have to eat this meal. My two brothers wanted to treat you to a meal, but you were too busy and never had the chance. Thank goodness, you came to our door today."
Zheng Gan was speechless. It was just a meal, was it necessary to make such a big fuss?
However, he also understood that the previous boss of Jia Gui and the other two had gone bankrupt and was worried about where to make money. As a result, Zheng Gan extended an olive branch to them at this time, and the salary was very generous, so he had always wanted to repay Zheng Gan.
"Uncle Gui, it's only a little after eight o'clock, and there's still a long time before dinner. How about you let us go out and do some work for a while?" Zheng Gan made up this excuse.
Jia Gui was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed. He was so excited that he forgot it was just eight o'clock. But in order to prevent Zheng Gan from running away, he said, "Okay, but I want to go with you!"
"Okay, okay, let's go together. You can help me move things." Well, the plan failed. It looks like if I don't have lunch here at noon, it will definitely not work.
Jia Gui called Jia Teng and asked him to prepare food at home, and then went to Lin Zhihong's house with Zheng Gan.
Lin Zhihong's family is the worst off among the three. His son is still in college, and his parents have been bedridden for many years. His wife has to take care of them at home and cannot go out to work. The financial pressure is very great.
Seeing Zheng Gan coming to see him with bags, his eyes turned red, and his wife almost knelt down.
"Mother, hurry up and kill the chicken at home. Then go buy some good food and wine and let the boss eat here at noon." Lin Zhihong quickly instructed his wife.
"Get out of here! The boss has promised me that we'll have lunch at my place. Why are you getting involved here? You should keep your two little chickens to lay eggs." Before Zheng Gan could speak, Jia Guixian glared at him.
"Boss Jia, when did I ever give you the impression that I have too good a temper?" Lin Zhihong also glared. Zheng Gan had done him such a great favor, but if he didn't invite him to dinner, he would be afraid that others would poke him in the back.
"If you're not convinced, then let's have a fight. Whoever wins will be the boss." Jia Gui said as he stretched his body, looking ready to take action.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Lin Zhihong also looked like he was ready to fight.
This scene stunned Zheng Gan, Lin Hao and Jiang Feng. Seeing that the two men were about to fight, they were so scared that they hurried forward to persuade them.
