Chapter 127 Happy New Year
After the new employees were recruited, they all started working before the New Year.
Although they had only been working for less than a month, Shen Linglan still gave a one-month year-end bonus to the new employees of SZ Biosciences, and a three-month year-end bonus to the old employees and people in the laboratory.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Shen Linglan felt it was too troublesome to wrap herself in cotton clothes when going out. Sometimes she was too lazy to even leave her room. She just lay in bed watching movies and playing with her mobile phone every day. Aunt Liu brought her three meals to her in bed.
From the beginning of winter to the New Year, Shen Linglan only went to school to take two exams, neither of which was a professional course. One was ideological and political education, and the other was employment training.
A week before the Chinese New Year, Aunt Liu, who was preparing to go home for the New Year, cooked many meals for Shen Linglan. Every time she cooked a meal, Shen Linglan stuffed it into Zhao Yunduo's space.
Aunt Liu didn't know about the space. While cooking noodles, she asked Shen Linglan worriedly, "Ms. Linglan, if we cook these noodles and put them in the refrigerator, they will clump together. How about I cook you a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve before I go back?"
Aunt Liu's monthly salary is now 15,000 yuan, which is higher than the salary of a live-in aunt. During the Chinese New Year, Shen Linglan also gave her half a month's annual leave, which made her touched and uneasy.
While eating the braised pork ribs noodles cooked by Aunt Liu, Shen Linglan told her not to worry. After swallowing the noodles, she asked Aunt Liu to fry three servings of the dumplings she had just made.
"Okay!"
Aunt Liu kept reminding Shen Linglan, "Miss Linglan, if you want to order something for Chinese New Year, you can order from these two hotels. The food is delicious and they will be open during Chinese New Year. There are also these eight restaurants. The food is delicious and the environment is clean and hygienic. They will suit your taste."
Aunt Liu took out a piece of paper from her arms. Her handwriting was not good, so she went to each house to write down the numbers herself, and then asked her fellow villagers to rewrite them for her so that Shen Linglan would not be unable to read them clearly.
Aunt Liu has been taking care of Shen Linglan for nearly half a year. She knows that Shen Linglan's parents are not very close, and she often keeps to herself and has few friends. She feels sorry for her and always does her job conscientiously. She will take care of Shen Linglan as much as she can, even if it is beyond her job responsibilities.
For example, if she sees that it is going to rain tomorrow, she will put an umbrella by the door before leaving get off work so that Shen Linglan can use it when she goes out.
This time, I wrote down a whole A4 sheet of information with the contact information of dozens of restaurants and their signature dishes.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Liu."
Shen Linglan took a bite of pork ribs and moved the A4 paper to a corner of the dining table to avoid it being splashed by the sauce on the noodles.
In fact, she doesn't need to order takeout at all. If she puts the food in Zhao Yunduo's space, the noodles won't clump together and the fried dumplings won't become soft. They will remain the same when she takes them in.
Besides, even if she was hungry, Liang Tuantuan, the chef at Zhao Yunduo's place, could cook for her, and Zhao Yunduo would just pass the food to her.
Originally, Shen Linglan gave Chen Mengxue a half-month annual leave, but Chen Mengxue's home was in this city, and she would come to the villa from time to time to sweep here and there for Shen Linglan, and when she had nothing to do, she would also bring Shen Linglan some milk tea and snacks.
On New Year's Eve, Chen Mengxue brought her daughter to pay New Year's greetings to Shen Linglan.
This was the first time Shen Linglan met Chen Mengxue's daughter. The little girl had shaved off all her hair for chemotherapy, so Chen Mengxue put a wig on her daughter.
The little girl had been in the hospital for more than a year and had hardly ever been exposed to the sun, so her skin became as white as a porcelain doll.
Shen Linglan touched the little girl's fair face and asked Chen Mengxue: "How was the surgery?"
"Thanks to you, everything is fine and I can go to school normally next year."
"Good," Shen Linglan was also very happy to hear the news. She picked up the little girl and took out a thick red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into the little girl's pocket, "Baby, Happy New Year."
The little girl in red clothes smiled even more happily after receiving the red envelope and kissed Shen Linglan on the cheek.
"Sister Linglan, Happy New Year!"
Zhao Yunduo on the other side also looked greedy, "Baoer, I want a big red envelope too!"
Shen Linglan had already prepared everything and stuffed Zhao Yunduo with a red envelope that was bigger than the girl's. When Zhao Yunduo opened it, he found that there was actually 10,000 yuan in it!
Shen Linglan also said, "10,000 yuan is the limit for red envelopes, not my limit."
Unfortunately, no matter how big the red envelope is, it cannot be used in the apocalypse, and can only be used as a red envelope for the New Year. Zhao Yunduo pressed the red envelope under his pillow. Compared with the simple and crude red envelope model in modern times, Zhao Yunduo's New Year gifts for the residents in the base are much simpler.
Each person gets one portion of rice, flour, grain and oil, a piece of pork belly, a chicken, a duck and a goose, and a large bag of vegetables.
Chen Ken raised chickens, ducks and geese, and Chen Shaolan grew vegetables. To some extent, L Base had basically achieved self-sufficiency. In another year or so, perhaps even rice, flour, grain and oil would not need to be provided by Zhao Yunduo, as the base would be able to produce them all.
If self-production can meet the daily needs of residents, then it can be sold to other bases. In this case, Zhao Yunduo has an idea, "Baoer, I plan to make a new currency myself."
