Chapter 327 Red Envelope
Time flies and it is already the end of the year.
It’s time for family reunion again, and it’s time for Zhao Yi’s shops to close for a break.
The restaurant closed early. As for those customers who had ordered New Year’s Eve dinner, they could just come and pick up their meals at noon on New Year’s Eve. The meals for that day were all prepared for Liu Wentao’s family.
The two chefs had already gone on vacation and returned home happily with this month's salary and a big red envelope of ten yuan.
At this time, everyone in Zhao Yi's family was gathered together to have the year-end reunion dinner.
"Baoyu, Baoqin, Chenjiao, Chenmin, you have worked hard this year. This is the red envelope for you. Please don't despise it because my sister-in-law didn't give you much."
Zhang Jing gave each of the four little girls in the restaurant a red envelope containing ten yuan.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
How could the girls dare to despise it? No matter how much it was, it was a token of their love.
"Daya, Xiaohui, Qiaojie, and Yumei, although you came late, you are also diligent in your work. I have prepared a red envelope for you."
Zhang Jing treated everyone equally and gave them a red envelope of ten yuan, no matter how early or late they came. Everyone went to work honestly and no one was treated differently.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, aunt."
The four young girls who worked in the grocery store and the garment shop were immediately delighted and quickly stood up to express their gratitude.
"After the reunion dinner, you will go home tomorrow. Come back on the sixth day of next year. Well, I won't say more about these things. I hope you have fun when you go back. Cheers."
Zhang Jing raised a glass of champagne and looked at everyone and said.
As for my uncle's family, they were having a reunion dinner at home. My second brother Zhang Xiang and second sister-in-law Chen Fen had long wanted to go back to see their children, so they went back to the county town as soon as the holiday came.
So these little girls are the only ones left at home.
"Don't tell others how much your clothes cost, just say they are bonuses for the whole year."
Zhang Jing seemed to remember something and continued.
Everyone nodded quickly.
The clothes they buy in the clothing store are all at the purchase price. A woolen coat bought in Shenzhen Market only costs about ten yuan. If this gets out, it will be bad for the reputation of the store.
"knew."
The little girls happily drank champagne from their glasses and ate the reunion dinner that everyone had prepared today.
Zhao Yi didn't say a word the whole time, and he didn't know what to say to these girls.
early morning.
Everyone wore tweed coats and ladies' leather shoes, and brought two sets of clothes for change. They went to the station together under the escort of Zhao Yi.
A group of girls chattering together gave Zhao Yi a headache, especially last night when he went to bed and opened the red envelopes and found that they were all ten yuan. He was so happy.
Li Baoyu's girlfriend Deng Ming had been waiting at the bus station entrance early in the morning. Their wedding date had already been set. Because their family had held a wedding this year, their wedding was scheduled for the beginning of next year.
Going to Lijia Village now is equivalent to visiting your father-in-law’s house to wish you a happy new year.
Wangzhuang.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Chen Wei asked immediately when he saw Luo Guangyou harnessing the ox cart as if he was about to go out.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Xiaohui and Yumei are on holiday today, I have to go to the station to pick someone up, you can come with me."
When Luo Guangyou saw that it was his brother-in-law, he hurriedly spoke.
"Is it a holiday today?"
Chen Wei's daughter Chen Yumei went to work in the city. She sent back 15 yuan in the first month and 18 yuan in the second month. With this income, the family became much more affluent.
In just half a year, Liu Yumei sent back nearly 70 yuan. Now the whole family can wear new clothes, and they have to thank their daughter.
I was naturally very happy to hear that my daughter was back.
However, every time his family sent food rations to the city, it was Luo Guangyou who helped. It was not that he didn't want to visit his daughter, but he had never been far away and was afraid of making a fool of himself and embarrassing his daughter.
The two men drove the ox cart towards the county town.
As soon as he arrived in the county town, he met Lin Qiao's father, Captain Lin. Captain Lin and Luo Guangyou met almost every month, and both of them would go to deliver food rations to their daughter.
"Morning, Captain Luo."
"Captain Lin, you're here to pick up your daughter?"
The two exchanged a few pleasantries.
The weather is cold now and there is only one bus a day. The one from the city is in the morning, and the one from Shanyang County to the city is at noon. Several people who arrived early can only blow the cold wind at the station.
"Brother, what's this?"
Chen Wei looked at Captain Lin with some curiosity.
"This is the father of Xiaohui and her co-worker, the team leader of the Linkou Commune."
Captain Luo explained.
Chen Wei nodded, walked forward and greeted them, and the few of them stopped chatting.
After waiting for more than two hours, they finally saw the bus from Pingyang City. They hurriedly trotted into the station with the bus, and after the bus stopped, they stood not far from the door and looked around.
"Girl."
When several people saw their daughter getting out of the car, they immediately shouted happily.
Luo Guangyou was not surprised to see Luo Hui wearing a tweed coat. After all, he had just been to the city this month and had seen Luo Hui wearing this coat. He even asked about it at the time and found out that the cheapest one was over 30 yuan.
There are also similar coats that cost around 50 or 70 years old.
However, Chen Wei was somewhat surprised to find the change in his daughter.
"Captain Lin, we are leaving first."
Luo Guangyou stepped forward to help his daughter take the things in her hands, greeted Captain Lin with a smile, and led his daughter towards the ox cart.
Captain Lin's heart was entirely on his daughter, so he had no time to greet him. When he saw his daughter, he quickly stepped forward to help carry the luggage. He asked the commune's tractor to come and pick them up, and also took Wang Daya back with him.
Li Dalin also chartered a tractor and rushed over, but the few people who arrived had already walked out of the station.
When he saw his father Li Baoyu and Li Baoqin, they immediately ran forward with a smile.
Only Chen Min and Chen Jiao had a bitter smile on their faces.
They have never received such treatment. The ones who deliver food to them are not their parents but their eldest brother who comes to ask for money every month. As for coming to pick them up, it seems unlikely. He may only remember them when he gets his salary.
The two were not too disappointed and got used to it after a while.
The two did not plan to go home, but rushed to Zhangjia Village, preparing to celebrate the New Year at their second sister's home. Anyway, their family had already come to take this month's salary, so it didn't seem to have much impact whether they went back or not.
Originally they wanted to go to their third brother Chen Yan's house to celebrate the New Year, but there were only two rooms allocated to Zhao Yan in the garment factory's staff building. They had nowhere to live, but they also didn't want to stay in the rental house all the time, like a child without a home.
Just watched Li Baoyu and the others leave.
"Sister Chen Jiao, we are all from the same commune. Why don't you follow us to the commune first? We will let the tractor take you there when the time comes."
Lin Qiao looked at the two of them and greeted them warmly.
They didn't leave immediately after they came out.
"Thank you very much."
“You’re so kind.”
Lin Qiao smiled. They often watched TV together and played together almost every night, so they were naturally very familiar with each other.
