Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year in the north.
The children's song is good.
Children, don't be greedy, after Laba, it's the New Year.
How many days do you drink Laba porridge?
On the 23rd, the sugar melon sticks, on the 24th, the house is cleaned
Make tofu on the 25th and cook meat on the 26th
Kill the New Year rooster on the 27th, and make noodles on the 28th
Steamed buns on the 29th, play all night on the 30th
Twist on New Year's Day
By the 23rd, the streets are filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Lanterns have been hung up, people have started cleaning their homes, and all kinds of New Year goods have appeared in the market.
When Lin Tian went out early in the morning, he was stopped by the third uncle.
"Xiao Lin, if you have nothing to do in the evening, come back early. There is a meeting in the hospital." The third uncle said, adjusting his glasses.
"What's the matter?" Lin Tian asked.
"The New Year is coming soon, and the hospital usually holds a meeting before the New Year." Yan Fugui said.
"Okay, I'll come back early today," Lin Tian said with a smile.
After saying that, Lin Tian went out. When he arrived at the grocery store, he found that everyone else had already arrived. There were also a few people who looked familiar. They should be people from other grocery stores who had come here to report on their work before.
"Xiao Lin, you're here." Wang Yigui, a colleague and store manager, said with a laugh. It seems that the New Year is approaching and everyone is in a good mood.
"I'm afraid it'll be a bit busy these few days as the New Year is coming soon. We'll just be busy in these few days and everything will be fine after the New Year. While we're busy these two days, let's take inventory of the goods. I'm afraid there will be changes after the New Year." Wang Yigui continued, pointing to the inner room as he spoke.
Lin Tian understood it all at once. It seemed that the main person was going to be transferred. In the past few months since he came, he saw that the purchasing staff often brought things back, but many things were not on display in the store. Even if they were divided into several stores, the quantities of many things did not match. It seemed that the previous rumors were true.
"Any news?" Lin Tian asked in a low voice. After all, the leader was going to be changed soon, so Lin Tian was still quite concerned. The current director didn't care about anything, and Lin Tian wouldn't say anything if he slacked off or left early. But if a serious leader came, he probably wouldn't be able to slack off so easily.
"Not yet, but I don't have much chance. You know, I'm going to retire after the new year. Please take care of my son then." Wang Yigui is also a gossiper.
“I don’t think he will be assigned to our company even if he comes. I guess we will transfer another store manager here. I definitely can’t be promoted to store manager with my level of experience just starting out,” Lin Tian said, waving his hand.
Wang Yigui sighed and said, "Yes, although I am not a big shot as a store manager, I still have a rank after all," he continued.
"Recently, several store managers have been fighting in meetings. I don't think anyone has much chance of getting promoted, as there is a gap of several levels. It's more likely that they will be transferred from outside."
After saying that, Wang Yigui patted his head and said, "By the way, we don't just need to take inventory. Before I retire after the New Year, we have to hand over our work. Although both accounting and purchasing are working here, it will save you from getting confused and getting scolded by the new leader."
Lin Tian nodded. He would have said it even if Wang Yigui hadn't said it. Although there wasn't much work to do in this small grocery store, it was still very troublesome due to the miscellaneous work.
"Since no one is around in the morning, I'll just tell you a few things. I guess after I leave, someone will soon take over as store manager, and the salary will increase by more than ten yuan. You can just give it to the new manager then." Wang Yigui took out the account book from under the counter.
The two of them finished the job in one morning. Except for the inventory of goods, everything else was handed over. A small grocery store has only goods and account books, and some details with accounting and purchasing.
Wang Yigui also gave some instructions, such as some easily damaged items, which would require a lot of reimbursement, and many commodities were about to expire, so the leaders should share some with everyone, and so on. Lin Tian secretly pondered over it and realized that there was actually a lot of profit in this, after all, it was also a small supermarket.
The things sold in grocery stores in this era were quite diverse, and it was only later that some supplementary foods were separated out. Nowadays, many supplementary foods are still sold in grocery stores, and it can be said that they have everything.
In the afternoon, people started lining up outside the store, and by the time Lin Tian returned to the compound, it was already dark.
After entering the courtyard, he found that almost all the people attending the meeting had gathered, and the three uncles were already sitting at the table. Lin Tian also pretended to pass through the crowd at the back, put the lunch box in the house, and moved a small stool to the back of the courtyard.
As soon as Lin Tian sat down, he heard someone say, "Director Wang is here."
Several old men also followed and went out to greet them.
Director Wang from the subdistrict office, along with several staff members, stood in the middle of the compound amid the welcome of the crowd.
Director Wang is a middle-aged woman with a loud voice. "The Street Office wishes everyone a happy Chinese New Year in advance. Today we are here to give everyone receipts for the Chinese New Year. Every household should bring their household registration books to the accountant to line up to receive them."
Wow...there was applause and discussion all around.
Director Wang pressed his hands, and after a while the surroundings became quiet.
"There is another good news today. This year, our street civilized courtyard also has our courtyard, so the rewards given by the street office will be distributed together today. Each person will get 1 liang of oil and 1 liang of pork tickets, 2 liang of peanuts and sunflower seeds, and each household will also get 1 liang of sesame oil."
As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, the yard began to boil like a pot.
Lin Tian also thought about it, this reward is really good, a large family can have a prosperous new year. Lin Tian saw Yan Fugui's hands were almost swollen from clapping.
