In the traditional Chinese concept, New Year’s Eve is the beginning of the Chinese New Year.
However, there is no difference between the grocery store on the morning of New Year’s Eve and the one on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year.
Lin Tian and Li Wenhua were still the same as yesterday, one was responsible for getting soy sauce, and the other was responsible for weighing and counting at the candy counter.
By one o'clock in the afternoon, there were actually not many customers left, as most people were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at home.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Tian, Li Wenhua and other helpers had already left work.
The sales clerks also started taking shifts, with one person guarding two counters and the other person being able to go off work.
Grocery stores are different from the previous grocery stores. They cannot be closed. They must still be open as usual on New Year's Day, but not all staff members need to be at work. The sales staff can take turns on duty.
Li Wenhua, Lin Tian, and the unknown Jiang Shufen checked the data of the current goods. They found that there was no need to replenish the goods after the New Year, so the three of them could spend the three-day Spring Festival holiday peacefully. Then Li Wenhua announced the holiday.
When leaving, Lin Tian and Li Wenhua went to the warehouse together to collect their year-end benefits. Why is the non-staple food company the hottest job at this time? It’s not just because it’s convenient, but also because the benefits are really good.
Lin Tian first got a piece of fat meat, which weighed about one pound. Li Wenhua's was a little heavier than his, about one and a half pounds.
When he got to the end, Lin Tian counted and found a pack of cigarettes, a pound of peanuts and melon seeds, a pack of cakes, and a pack of candy. What surprised Lin Tian the most was a bottle of sesame paste. You know, at this time, you can only get one or two taels of sesame paste tickets during the Chinese New Year, so every family cherishes it very much.
After putting everything into the bag and hanging the pork on the handlebars, Lin Tian took out the lard, pork, mutton, and two fish that he had prepared in advance from the space.
Since he had already sent gifts and kowtowed to Wang Wujiu's family before the New Year, Lin Tian didn't need to go today. He could just wait until the first day of the new year to kowtow to his master and wish him a happy new year.
New Year's Eve, 3:00 p.m. When Lin Tian arrived home.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin have returned from get off work and are preparing dinner with grandma in the kitchen.
The eldest brother was sent out by Lin's mother to buy seasonings. As for the eldest sister-in-law, she was looking after the children in the house. The eldest son was already four years old, and this year they had a younger son, who was just a few days old.
My second brother and his second sister-in-law also arrived. My second brother was pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns at the door. This year, my second brother's family also had a little boy, so my eldest and second sisters-in-law were in the house looking after the child, so I didn't ask them to help with anything else.
Having a new baby is the most important thing for a family, so this year's New Year's Eve dinner is much more sumptuous than in previous years.
"Second brother, I'm back." Seeing his second brother Lin Hai pasting couplets at the door, Lin Tian greeted him.
"You've taken a lot of stuff." The second brother said jokingly when he saw Lin Tian carrying a lot of bags.
"Haha, they were all distributed by the company, and I took them all back in one go. How about it?" Lin Tian took off a piece of fat meat hanging on the handlebars as if to show off, and shook it in front of his second brother Lin Hai.
"That's great! You're really lucky. Who would have thought that your shabby grocery store could be converted into a grocery store." Lin Hai smiled enviously.
Hearing the noisy noise at the door, Lin's mother came out to take a look and saw that it was Lin Tian who returned.
I quickly shouted, "Stop playing at the door. I have no hands free. Come and help me light the fire."
Hearing his mother's call, Lin Tian stopped making fun of himself with his second brother, quickly parked his bicycle, and ran to the kitchen with his things.
Lin Tian pushed all the things he had brought back onto the table, then quickly squatted down to help his mother add firewood to the stove.
The grandmother who was busy nearby saw Lin Tian put a pile of things on the table and looked through them curiously.
Then she said in surprise, "Oh my, there are so many things." Grandma Lin turned over a big bag and opened it to see that it contained ten kilograms of pork fat.
"Oh my god, where did you get such a big piece of pork fat?" Grandma Lin was so surprised that she couldn't be more surprised.
"Where else could I get it? I must have gotten it from people at work. I have two more nephews this year, so I need to give them some extra lard. When the lard is refined, I'll give some to my second brother."
"Very good, you have made a lot of progress." Father Lin praised.
"That's great. Other families can't save so much oil in ten years. When the time comes, ask your elder and second brothers to give you the money to buy oil." Mother Lin said happily when she saw so much oil.
"As you should." Father Lin continued.
In fact, Lin Tian had some reservations about his family after his rebirth. He didn't know how to get along with them at first.
However, over the past year, Lin's father and mother were still very good to him, even though he and his second brother Lin Hai had already separated. But they did not favor only the eldest son like Liu Haizhong's family did.
After the family split up, Lin's father and mother still had some respect and love for his second brother Lin Hai and him.
So Lin Tian thought this family was pretty good, and now he was willing to get along with them. He really felt that it was harmonious and relaxing, so it was worth it to pay a little. It was just money, and Lin Tian didn't care about it.
The New Year's Eve dinner was warm and happy, but what Lin Tian was most uncomfortable with was that his two little nephews were crying and making a fuss the whole time. This was a great test for Lin Tian, who always liked quietness.
Moreover, the eldest nephew is four years old and likes to stick to him. He calls him uncle all the time. In a short while, he found a lot of treasures from Lin Tian, including the chocolate he bought on the black market before.
"Pah, pah, pah, the piglets are not tasty," said the little nephew in a baby voice.
"Call me uncle... Come and learn from me, uncle" Lin Tian was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"piggy"
"Hahahaha" the whole family around burst into laughter.
The second brother drank a little too much in the evening, so Lin's father and mother were a little worried, so they asked Lin Tian to send the second brother Lin Hai and his family of three home before going back.
By the time Lin Tian got home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the compound, Lin Tian was bumped into by two children. It turned out that Liu Haizhong was beating the children.
Lin Tian sometimes felt bad seeing these two kids getting beaten every day. No matter what happens to these two kids in the future, you can't beat them to death every day, so Lin Tian usually gives them a hand whenever he sees them.
"Uncle Liu, you have nothing to do on New Year's Eve and you beat the kids," Lin Tian teased.
Liu Haizhong saw the two children hiding behind Lin Tian and stopped chasing them. Liu Haizhong was still quite respectful now, after all, Lin Tian's status was not as good as before.
"Xiao Lin, you're back." Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and then said.
"Yeah, I just came back from having dinner with my parents."
"Second uncle, has Guangqi come back for the New Year?" Lin Tian usually likes to stab Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong is a simple person and doesn't hold grudges, so Lin Tian usually likes to tease him.
"Come back, come back for nothing." Liu Haizhong was so angry that he didn't even bother to beat the two kids. He turned around and walked towards the yard after being scolded by Lin Tianqi.
