Chapter 91 New Year's Eve
The end of the year is approaching.
noon.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing were cleaning the house when Zhao Dahai walked in.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Zhao Yi asked doubtfully.
"Your mother asked me to come and ask if you will go back to celebrate the New Year this year."
Zhao Dahai looked at Zhao Yi and asked, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"No, it's troublesome to go back and forth. I have to go back to visit you in the first month of the lunar year, and stop by my aunt's house and Xiaojing's place."
Zhao Yi shook his head and said.
"Oh, dad, this is for you. We promised to give you 20 kilograms of pork as a reward for helping to raise pigs."
As Zhao Yi spoke, he handed the 20 kilograms of pork sales ticket in his hand to his father Zhao Dahai. In fact, Zhao Yi had thought that it would be less troublesome to give the meat directly, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided that it would be better to give the ticket.
Zhao Dahai can use these tickets to give to others, which is also a big favor, and his life in the coal mine will be much easier in the future.
Zhao Yi also handed over sixteen yuan. Even with the ticket, one had to spend money to buy the meat. One advantage of this was that it would not expire if well preserved.
Raising pigs actually has another benefit. Zhao Yi just received the note and has not yet gone to claim the distribution.
That is, a 200-pound fat pig can get 30 pounds of feed, a pair of rubber shoes, and 5 pounds of flour. The excess reward for the task pig is meat, and of course 10 pounds of meat will also be rewarded with 30 pounds of feed.
Zhao Yi didn't plan to ask his mother for help. There was no guarantee that the three ungrateful people would use this as an excuse to argue with him in the future. Even if he gave them benefits, they might deny it in the future.
So it’s better to ask outsiders to handle such matters, and there won’t be any troublesome things involved.
"Okay, keep some for yourself, don't give away all the good stuff."
Zhao Dahai nodded and took the meat ticket and money.
He also discovered that this is a truth that applies everywhere: people are less likely to blame you for being treated too well, and people will remember something if you do something good for them.
After having lunch at Zhao Yi's house, Zhao Dahai went to the station and took a bus back to Shanyang County. He came here just to deliver some eggs, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yi was still thinking about sending them pork.
The eldest brother is not a bad person, nor is he unwilling to support the elderly. He is very kind to his relatives and friends, and is doing well in the area. So why doesn't he like his younger siblings? This makes Zhao Dahai a little confused.
He couldn't have guessed it if Zhao Yi hadn't told him.
If Zhao Yi was unwilling to support the elderly, he would buy a bag of soybean powder for drinking at two yuan, and the more expensive malted milk. He would buy a bag and send it to the family almost every month. He would also think of the family when he had meat, and he would give them food every month.
After resting for a while, Zhao Yi returned to the maintenance shop to continue working.
Zhao Yi went to the second-hand market several times and this time found the wooden chair he was sitting on.
It's so comfortable to sit with the stove at my feet, a book in my hands and tea on the table.
"Master Zhao."
The head of the security department came to Zhao Yi's shop and put the gift in his hand on the table with a smile.
"What instructions does Section Chief Wang have?"
Zhao Yi asked with a smile.
This is the twentieth colleague who has come today. Zhao Yi knew without guessing that he was asking him to find a way to get some meat. The New Year is coming soon and his family wants to have a good meal. Although many families will save up meat coupons to have a good meal during the New Year.
But who would complain about having too much meat? When visiting relatives, bringing a pound of meat is more face-saving than bringing anything else.
The price of meat in the black market has risen to RMB 1.1 in the past few days, and there is still no demand. People who occasionally visit the black market can only reserve two or three kilograms at a high price, and if someone is available, they will help deliver it to them.
"I dare not give you any instructions. You are the treasure of our department store. I do have something I want to ask you for help."
Section Chief Wang said with a flattering smile in a low voice.
"Can you please go to your grandmother's house and get some meat for me? Any kind of meat is fine."
Zhao Yi said that his grandmother's home was a hunter village, and hunters would naturally hunt any kind of prey, goats, wild deer, wild boars, etc., no matter what, it was meat.
"I knew you were coming, Chief Wang, so I prepared everything for you. I'll go back after get off work and give you five pounds."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
These gifts are enough to buy meat, but these colleagues always feel that they are taking advantage of Zhao Yi. If you don't give them something to do something for you, no one will be willing to pay attention to you over time.
Before lunch today, Zhao Yi was busy cooking.
Zhang Jing was busy at home sorting the gifts she had received. She had received more than 20 gifts in the morning. Each gift was worth no less than five yuan. Most of them were cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and a small amount of cotton cloth.
The cotton cloth our family receives in a day is enough to make two sets of clothes.
"Master Zhao is still concerned about me. Let's make a deal. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."
Section Chief Wang looked at Zhao Yi and said.
Zhao Yi did not take the initiative to mention the matter of dividing the meat in the department store. It would be better for them to come to the store themselves for such matters. As long as one person gets a share, the others will come and ask. Even if they don't get a share, they will not blame Zhao Yi.
Who has so much meat to share? Even though money has been paid, it's hard to buy it at this price except at the butcher stalls. It's all a favor.
After giving a gift, you can ask for favors in the future, or ask Zhao Yi for help when you feel craving for meat.
In fact, everyone was aiming for this purpose, but they didn’t expect that Zhao Yi’s family really had it. This is even better.
Garment factory.
It’s the last day of work at the end of the year. We will have a holiday after today and go back to work after the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Zhang Jing delivered the gifts to her master and the two directors in the morning.
At this time, the workstation is being cleaned and the sewing machine is being performed simple maintenance, which means oiling key areas according to regulations.
"Zhang Jing."
Wen Jing shouted at Zhang Jing.
"What's wrong, Director?"
Zhang Jing was puzzled. She didn't have much to do. She just needed to do some simple maintenance on the sewing machine and clean up before going home.
"The logistics department has come to me, asking what happened to the last three people. If you don't go and collect your benefits, they won't be able to leave work."
Wen Jing looked at Zhang Jing, Li Fang, and Peng Yiju and said.
The three of them looked at Wen Jing in confusion. Aren't only regular employees eligible to receive benefits? How come they all have them?
"Come out and tell me."
Wen Jing saw the confusion of the three people. Several of them had been working for several years but were still temporary workers, so some things were not convenient to say to their faces.
"Your salary remains the same, but you are now treated as regular employees. You can pick up your work clothes, as well as some meat for the festival and some tickets for this month."
Wen Jing looked at the three of them and explained.
The three confused people followed Wen Jing to the logistics department. After receiving a new set of work clothes, three taels of pork, and some receipts, they still felt dizzy.
Especially Peng Yiju, her master has been a temporary worker for many years, but he still doesn’t have a work uniform issued by the factory.
"Okay, go back and clean up, maintain the machinery, and then go home from get off work."
Wen Jing waved.
The General Affairs Department receives meat sent by these three people every month, and the office also receives it. Director Xu certainly has a way to return the favor.
