Chapter 401 Preparing for the New Year

When the second young master Zhong arrived at Erdaohe, it was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

He had reported to his superiors in advance and had contacted Chu Zizhou.

Chu Zizhou arranged a dormitory for him at the brigade headquarters.

He had to pay for it, and as for the meals, it was still the grandson's responsibility.

Since he was here, of course he had to be treated well.

For example, for the reunion dinner on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Old Lady Song and Zhu Feng discussed and decided to eat together.

After staying up late at night, they could go back to their own homes.

The two of them are getting along very well now. It

is said that poor couples are sad about everything.

In fact, the same is true for relatives. There is a saying that it seems that if you are poor, you will not leave your relatives, and if you are rich, you will not return home. If

you visit relatives when you are poor and rush to eat with them, you will be considered to be deliberately eating for free.

The same is true for in-laws.

Now the two old ladies have money in their pockets, their children are filial and they don't have to worry about anything at home. They are also envied by the old ladies in the village.

Whether in terms of spirit or material, they are rich.

Therefore, when they get along with each other, there are no so many quibbles. 鯇

Moreover, Old Lady Song is not good at quibbling. Her eldest granddaughter hates quibbling the most.

So she, as a grandmother, must be generous.

Fortunately, Zhu Feng has a good personality and the two get along well.

These troubles are gone.

There will be no conflicts when celebrating the New Year together. They take whatever food they have and no one will hide anything.

The master craftsman at the garment factory was also given a bonus and chose to take a holiday on the 26th of the lunar month, after all, the factories in the city had not yet taken a holiday.

In other words, the New Year in the northern countryside is lively, because in winter, people can't farm and stay at home to hibernate, so they naturally have time to prepare for the New Year, such as sweeping the house, posting newspapers, washing clothes and quilts, and doing laundry for the children. 鯇

The atmosphere of the New Year is very strong.

This year's Erdaohe Village, including the Kuihua Commune, is actually different from previous years.

First of all, there is no hibernation.

A handicraft factory has been established, and its address is in an office in the commune.

The county also sent someone down.

Old Song is a consultant.

He is now in charge of the logistics of the family and has to pick up Xiao Nuan on Sundays.鯇

This consultant does not work. When he has nothing to do, he can research new styles and send them to the company.

He is paid 20 yuan a month.

Although all industries are thriving now, prices are still very stable, and so are wages.

Candied haws made from black dates are still 1 cent a string.

Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy tangerine candy, and you can still buy a handful for 1 cent.

Ready-made large steamed dumplings are still 4 cents each.

Song Yu Nuan especially likes the current prices. 鯇

Because of this comparison, I feel like I will soon become a millionaire.

Zhong Shaoqing's pitiful life won the sympathy of Zhu Feng and Old Lady Song. They really want him to taste whatever delicious food they make.

They also like this well-behaved and gentle young man.

Xia Xindong did not expose it. Anyway, the second young master really respected the elders.

That was enough.

Song Mingbo began to study hard, sleeping only a few hours a day. Either Song Yunuan or Xia Xindong tutored him.

In this final exam, Song Yunuan was the first again without any surprise. 鯇

Song Mingbo actually did very well in the exam, and was in the top 20 in the grade.

This was already his best result.

But compared with his sister, it was not good enough.

Some people even asked why the twin brother and sister were so stupid and the other was so smart?

He could not catch up with his sister.

But try not to fall too far behind. Besides, with his current grades, it seems a bit difficult for him to go to Beidu to study.

So he has to work harder.鯇

Then Song Mingbo was rarely seen, but Zhong Shaoqing strolled around the village every day.

When he came, he brought a lot of gifts, and almost everyone was considered.

He liked this small village.

Especially when the rime appeared, the whole village was like a world in a fairy tale.

The people in the village were used to it. Anyway, Old Song always had all kinds of guests, and they were all distinguished guests. Even

during the Chinese New Year, some people came to visit his home.

For example, Dean Zhuang of the hospital, President Cui of the cadre college, and Director Zheng of the electronics factory. 鯇

Sister Zhao and Lao Niu were naturally not left behind, and they had to visit the old man. There was

also Kou Xian, who came with Deputy County Zhao.

The gifts for these people were all in duplicate.

One was for the Song family, and one was for Zhu Feng.

In short, the sons and daughters were doing well, and the old man was proud.

Because of Xia Xindong, Erdaohe Village set up a special security point.

The county public security bureau and the commune police station sent people in turn. 鯇

Chu Zizhou also set up a small shop.

It was said that it could be contracted.

Old Mrs. Song wanted to contract it, but she was too busy and couldn't take care of it.

Then she let Mrs. Sun and her daughter-in-law contract it.

The brigade headquarters is the center.

This small shop is set up next to the brigade headquarters.

There are all kinds of daily necessities such as cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea. 鯇

Anyway, daily needs can still be met.

It was established after the first month of the lunar year. Old Sun’s wife did not hide it from Old Song and told Old Song that she had earned more than ten yuan in these few days.

She was also very excited when she said it.

Erdaohe Village has never had such a good year.

Of course, winter has never been so busy.

But being busy makes money, which is much better than playing poker and mahjong on the kang.

Even the disputes between neighbors, husband and wife, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts have been reduced a lot. 鯇

I can't take care of them when I'm busy.

Then Erdaohe Village was also selected as one of the spiritual civilization villages in Nanshan County.

Even in winter, this place is clean and tidy.

Chu Zizhou keeps his word.

Every month, the spiritual civilization households selected are rewarded.

Now, it's not only Chu Zizhou who can live like this, but also Song Yu Nuan.

Some people say behind their backs that Song Yu Nuan is the little lucky star of their village. 鯇

Since she came back, not only has she eaten more meat than in previous years, but she has also eaten rice.

The most important thing is that many people became workers.

At the end of the year, Zhilan Garment Factory distributed five catties of flour, one catty of eggs, three catties of meat and one catty of egg cake to each worker. They

dared not delay the wages.

Then they went to work on the sixth day of the first lunar month. They had

a few more days off than the workers in the city.

Moreover, those who voluntarily worked overtime would

have their wages doubled. 鯇 As soon as this regulation came out, more than half of the workers took the initiative to work overtime.

Therefore, before the New Year, the second batch of orders were also completed.

Song Yu Nuan also received a call from Jimke at this time.

He thanked Song Yu Nuan excitedly. He

said that his father did not go and was spared.

He also promised Song Yu Nuan that he would not tell others about this matter to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. He

also told Song Yu Nuan that according to the Dragon Kingdom calendar, he arrived in Beidu on the tenth day of the first lunar month.鯇

We are already preparing the goods. Once the contract is signed and becomes effective, we will ship the goods immediately.

Song Yu Nuan: "There will be no delay here either. We have a large inventory and can ship the goods at any time."

After a few more words of discussion, they each hung up the phone.

Hans on the other end rubbed his hands and said, "I want to thank her in person. Also, I told several of my good friends that I was uneasy and didn't want to go to the West Canyon. As a result, they really believed me and returned after reaching the foot of the mountain. They are very grateful to me now and say that I am their savior. I didn't tell the truth, but I will repay this favor to Song Yu Nuan in the future."
