Chapter 47 New Year Holiday



"Just accept it. I knitted one for myself too. When the weather gets colder, I'll wear it for you to see." Tong Yiya pushed the sweater back into her hands and said

"Really? Then I'll accept it this time. I'll bring you another gift when I go somewhere else." When Huang Lili heard that she had knitted one for her, she accepted the sweater in her hand, but she still felt it was expensive. So she planned to buy her a gift of similar price next time she went out.

The two went to the cafeteria to have lunch together, then returned to their respective departments to continue their afternoon work, and went back together after get off work in the afternoon.

During the past month, Tong Yiya has been still doing business in the black market. The textile factory only gives her two days off a month, so she takes them on trading days and then goes about her other business that day.

I rested at home again that day. I got up early and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. After eating, I took my bag and went out. I first went to the trading yard to prepare the goods for the transaction and take away the money and things from last time.

Later I went to the scrap yard again, and there were very few old items available. Maybe someone had also taken a fancy to this business, so they searched everything when they went there to smash and destroy things.

Tong Yiya had to rely on the system on several occasions to get those hidden objects. If it weren't for the system, she might not have gotten anything.

She would go back to the orphanage in the afternoon, bringing with her half-month's worth of food and some needed supplies, so that people in the orphanage would think she was just going out to buy food.

In the afternoon she would clean her house thoroughly and wash all the clothes that had not been washed recently.

A day off is more tiring than a day at work. After finishing everything, I go to bed early at night.

They went back to work the next day, and in a few days they would start a new round of busyness because the end of the month was coming again. The only sound in the office all day long was the sound of pen on paper.

Tong Yiya's life was spent like this, with time passing quickly and it was almost the New Year.

During this period of time, Tong Yiya has experienced what they call the busiest time at the end of the year. In these few days, the people in their accounting department go out early and come back late every day, and the work assigned to each person has piled up like a mountain.

Except for eating in the cafeteria, they spend the rest of the time in the office. When they sit down at their seats, they lower their heads, pick up a pen and start calculating quickly.

Huang Lili and her colleagues are also very busy. Recently they have to travel around and visit all the supply and marketing cooperatives, whether they are cooperating or not.

After being busy for more than half a month, I finally finished the year-end summary. Then I distributed the year-end benefits to the employees in the company, and then it was time for the holiday.

Each department in their textile factory has a different number of holidays. For example, those in the office have three days off, while those in the workshop have two days.

After the holiday, Tong Yiya and Huang Lili made an appointment to go out for a day. They used their wages to buy a lot of New Year's goods, including dried fruits and candies.

Huang Lili has a big family, so she bought a lot. Tong Yiya didn't buy much, so she carried a lot for her. They stopped shopping only when both of them could no longer carry anything.

Tong Yiya helped deliver the things back to the Huang family. Huang's mother originally wanted to keep her at home for dinner, but she refused on the grounds that she had to go back early. Returning to the orphanage, she divided the things she bought into smaller pieces, packed them separately, and took them to the three aunts, as her New Year gifts to them.

The three aunts were very happy to receive the gifts, and they all praised Tong Yiya for growing up and becoming sensible.

The next day was New Year's Eve. The children in the yard got up early and were led by their aunts to clean the house, stir up the cobwebs and dust in the house, and then clear the snow in the yard. Everyone worked, and it was not so cold to stay outside.

After cleaning, everyone helped to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. The younger ones went out to play, while the half-grown children helped the aunts wash vegetables and so on.

Tong Yiya didn't provide any dishes this year because no one in the hospital asked for more dishes. Last year, she took some because she saw others taking them. Now that no one mentioned it, she just pretended not to know.

Everyone worked for an entire afternoon and prepared a table full of food, including the annual must-have dumplings. After everything was ready and placed on the table, everyone sat down and started eating.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, they sat together and roasted the fire for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, the three aunts sent them back to the house to rest.

The next day, the first day of the new year, Tong Yiya packed up early and prepared to go to the Huang family to pay New Year's greetings. This was because she had to go to work the next day, so she didn't care what day it was.

She got up early, got herself ready, took out a bottle of wine that she had prepared, two packs of pastries and a red scarf that she found in the space, and told Aunt Juan and the others that she didn't need to make her own lunch, and went out with the things.

Aunt Juan and the others thought she was going to the leader's house to pay New Year's greetings, and said that she had really grown up and could make connections on her own.

Tong Yiya walked for about twenty minutes carrying her things and arrived downstairs at Huang Lili's house. She went up to the second floor and walked to her door. She could hear noises from inside. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. After a while, someone came and opened the door.

"Who is here so early in the morning?" Huang Ma said as she opened the door. Seeing that it was Tong Yiya, she quickly greeted her warmly, "It's Xiaoya. Why are you here so early? It's cold outside. Come in."

Then he turned around and shouted towards Huang Lili's room: "Lili, hurry up, Xiaoya is home."

Tong Yiya followed him into the house and heard Huang's mother calling Huang Lili to get up. She hurriedly said, "Auntie, there's no need to call her. I'm going to start work tomorrow. I thought I had time today, so I came to wish you a happy new year. These things are not rare, I hope you don't mind."

"Child, you should just come home empty-handed. Why bring anything with you?" Huang's mother said as she looked at the things in her hand.

"This is what I should bring. Just accept it, Auntie. I'll go to Lily's room and call her first." Tong Yiya said as she put the things in her hand into Huang Ma's hand and went to Huang Lili's room.

She knocked on the door and the voice inside said, "Come in, the door is not locked."

She pushed the door open and walked in. After entering the room and closing the door, she turned around and looked at Huang Lili, who was curled up on the small bed, wrapping herself tightly in a quilt.

At this moment, she was still so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. She wanted to raise her head to see who came in, but she failed and her head quickly fell back on the pillow.

Tong Yiya looked at her series of things and couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahaha, what time did you go to bed last night? You are still so sleepy now."

"Hmm~Xiaoya? When did you come? I'm so sleepy." Huang Tiantian heard the voice and recognized who it was, but still failed to open her eyes.
