MTL - Go Back To 1980 and Enjoy It-Chapter 259 Year-end Award【6000 words】
Chapter 259 Year-end Award [6000 words]
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the weather became colder and colder.
According to Deng Shirong’s estimation, the current minimum temperature is likely to be as low as zero degrees.
In most parts of the country, low temperatures below zero are not worth mentioning, but for the Bobai realm, such low temperatures are rare.
On this day, when Deng Shirong was warming himself by the fire at home, Zhang Qi, who had given birth to five daughters in a row, came over with a cloth bag and said with a smile: "Jiu Gong, my mother-in-law gave me some peanuts, I will bring them to you to drink. "
Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "If you're interested, I don't lack anything at home. You can take these peanuts back and eat them."
Ah Zhang Qi put the cloth bag on the stool next to him, sat down and warmed himself by the fire, and said, "Jiu Gong, I know you are not short of anything. These peanuts are a good dish to go with wine. I can get by just by taking them back and cooking them." It's just a mouthful, it's better to use it to drink wine for Jiugong."
…
A Zhang Qi was caught and taken to the county hospital for sterilization. He probably knew the current situation, so he couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's right. A man must be content. Although one son is missing, he will not be destitute after all."
Deng Shirong picked up the bag of peanuts on the stool, went back to the room, poured out the peanuts, took about a pound of brown sugar and a pound of longan meat and put them into the bag, walked out and handed them to her and said: "I see you are a little weak, there is a little brown sugar here." With the longan meat, you can take it back to replenish your body.”
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Okay, it's cold. You put your luggage away first, then sit down and warm yourself up. I'll get some good dishes and drink them all tonight."
Deng Shirong poked the red-burned wood with a fire stick and asked, "By the way, how many more do you exceed? How much is the fine?"
After pulling him down, the two of them began to have daily routines. Deng Shirong asked: "A Zhang Qi, I heard that you were arrested and had a sterilization last month?"
If you don't go home, you can meet up at school to celebrate the New Year. You won't be lonely if you have fellow villagers with you.
At this time, the father and son were talking about Xiao Dong'er.
Under the guidance of his father, Deng Yunheng has been actively making friends over the past year and a half, and his social skills have been honed for a long time. His observation skills are no worse than Zhao Changzheng's. He can naturally see the problems that the president can see. .
Liu Xiaoman also smiled and thanked her.
The few remaining ingredients in the hotel were distributed among Zhang Guangzong, Zhang Guofu, Zhang Wenjuan, and Zhang Wenying to take back as a benefit to the hotel.
…
In a corner of a canteen at Peking University, members of the Guangxi Fellows Association gather for dinner.
So, Zhao Changzheng said: "Fellow fellows, don't worry, it's not easy to go to the Great Wall to see the snow scene. As far as I know, the Badaling Great Wall is dozens of kilometers away from our school, whether it's snowing heavily or after a heavy snowfall. , the bus won’t even leave. We’ll rush there when it can leave. Maybe we won’t see the beautiful snow scenery.
Deng Yunhua smiled and said: "Xiao Heng, Xiao Dong'er is still young and really can't understand the fight between a cannon and a tiger. Why not play with a slingshot or show her how to play with water?"
“It’s really the big brother and sister-in-law who are back!”
Naye Village.
As the president of the Guangxi Fellows Association, Zhao Changzheng is a well-rounded social person, so his observation ability is naturally extraordinary. In addition, he also knows that Ding Qiulan's family background is not very good, so when he saw that she did not say anything, he guessed what was going on. Something happened.
"dad!"
This adds up to more than ten people.
…”
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I should come back in the next few days. Xiaodong'er hasn't seen you for a whole semester. She was only a little old at that time. She must not remember you."
Deng Yunzhen said: "Dad, let me help you."
Deng Yuntai hugged his daughter and said, "I think everything is fine. You just need to set a time."
Needless to say, wages are fixed.
Chong Feilong praised: "Sister Song, your idea is really genius. It is indeed very interesting to go to the Great Wall to see the snow scenery. Count me in."
Lin Jianjun responded immediately: "I agree, and I would like to ask the three female classmates to give me some face."
Song Yu is also smart. After hearing what Deng Yunheng said, she quickly thought of the key point and said cooperatively: "Okay, then I'm not welcome. Thank you for your generous male classmates."
In the afternoon, as he was about to arrive in Shuangwang, Deng Yuntai asked: "Cousin and cousin, will you go home directly later or come to our house first?"
“Okay, then we will be happy!”
Maybe it was because I had a sterilization, and since there was really nothing valuable at home, they didn’t do anything to me, so the matter just passed. "
Ding Qiulan has an ordinary appearance and an ordinary family background. She is also the hardest working girl among the three girls.
A Zhang Qi took the things in her hand and was so moved that she almost cried. The few kilograms of peanuts she brought could not compare with the brown sugar and longan meat. She was originally grateful to Jiu Gong for wanting to give him some peanuts to drink. , but in the end, she took advantage.
“I know... Hey, Xiaodong’er is back!”
The next day.
Deng Shirong said: "In this day and age, it is true that daughters cannot take care of their parents' family, but it is hard to predict the future world. As long as one of your daughters marries well, you will not have to worry about the rest of your life."
"Um!"
Needless to say, Song Yu is the one with the best family background among the three girls. She also has relatively strong social skills and is a girl who can act as a brother.
After all, this is Bobai, a place with strong folk customs. If you push someone into a hurry, you can do anything.
Now that school is on holiday, the results of the final exam have also come out. Overall, Deng Shirong is very satisfied. He hopes that his third son, who has the highest expectations, will continue to be the first in the grade. If he does not perform abnormally in the high school entrance examination next year, then it won't matter. Whether it is a technical secondary school or the best high school, it is up to him to choose.
Deng Shirong knew that she still remembered his kindness in her heart. When she gave birth to her fifth daughter, her mother-in-law didn't even cook her anything to eat. It was he who cooked her a large bowl of nourishing sugar water with brown sugar, longan and eggs for her eldest daughter. He gave it to her and scolded her mother-in-law, which changed her mother-in-law's attitude towards her to a certain extent.
Liu Xiaoman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Sister Song, your proposal is very interesting. Go to the Great Wall to see the snow scenery. How romantic it is. Count me in."
Deng Shirong quickly stopped and said, "You can take her to play, but don't take her to the river or pond. She is still young and doesn't understand anything. That would be too dangerous, do you understand?"
As a girl, Ding Qiulan naturally yearned for such romance, but as she was short of money, she couldn't agree like Liu Xiaoman, so she could only sigh secretly and remain silent.
A Zhang Qi sighed and said: "Yes, after the sterilization, it is impossible to have another son."
Sun Baoguo smiled and said: "Why is it that such an interesting thing is missing from me?"
Speaking of this, Bu Dashi said to his daughter-in-law: "Aihong, you don't know, the taste of my uncle's fried bee pupae is outstanding, we have finally caught up."
Finally, after Zhang Xiuping discussed with Deng Yuntai and Deng Yunzhen, they decided to give each person an extra month's salary as a year-end reward.
Give me some time, I will ask local classmates first, and then I will tell you all after arrangements for food and accommodation are made. "
Bu Dashi thought for a while and said, "Then let's go see my uncle first. I'm going back with your cousin on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so I won't be able to come over and pay New Year's greetings to my uncle."
Ah Zhang Qi spread his hands and said: "If we really want to be fined, it will be at least several thousand dollars. But you know our family's situation, Mr. Jiu. Where can we get so much money? I told them clearly, do you want any money?" There is a fate, anyway, if they like anything in the house, they will move it out.
Deng Yunzhen opened her hands, picked up the little guy, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, we will go home for the New Year soon. Do you miss grandpa?"
Deng Yunzhu asked: "Dad, when will the elder brother and sister-in-law come back? I haven't seen Xiaodong'er for a long time. She should be able to walk and talk now. I don't know if she still recognizes me."
Ah Zhang Qi said with a smile: "I don't dare to think about this. Married daughters are like water that has been drained out. If they don't go back to their parents' home to move things, it will be fine."
Deng Shirong didn't refuse too much. Anyway, when she went back later, he would just bring her some things back.
Deng Yunzhen laughed and said, "It seems that your grandfather's love for you was not in vain."
A Zhang Qi didn't say anything more, he just held the cloth bag in his hand tightly and kept Jiugong's kindness in his heart.
Employees are all happy when they know that they are going to have a holiday. Whether it is now or in the future, a holiday is a happy thing.
When talking about how to celebrate the New Year in the capital, Deng Yunheng looked at Song Yu and said: "Sister Song, you are a girl and you have stayed in school the longest. Please tell us your thoughts first and give us all a reference."
Deng Shirong said: "It's not worth much. You know I'm not short of these things. I've accepted all the peanuts you brought. Don't push them around when I give them to you."
Deng Shirong said: "It's enough to have a wife. You have five daughters. From now on, there will probably be few people in the village whose life can match yours."
All the employees were surprised when they heard the date of return to work, especially Zhang Guofu, who had worked in a state-owned hotel. He asked in surprise: "Boss, did you say the date correctly just now? Are you going to come back to work on the sixth day of the first lunar month, or the sixteenth day of the first lunar month?" Come back to work?”
Seeing that Jiu Gong was willing to accept it, A Zhang Qi couldn't help but smile.
“Okay, then I’ll accept it.”
“Then thank you Jiu Gong!”
Seeing this, Zhao Changzheng and Deng Yunheng looked at each other again, both happy with the result.
Deng Shirong is warming himself by the fire at home with his four children, Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunsong, Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng.
In the end, only Ding Qiulan, Zhao Changzheng and Deng Yunheng remained without taking a stand.
Deng Yunheng then said: "President, you go and ask first. We boys will be responsible for the food and accommodation expenses. The three female students only need to take Zhang Zui with them."
Of course, there are still some differences between this era and later generations. For example, people don’t take off so early and work until New Year’s Eve. In fact, everyone is willing to do so. After all, if you work longer hours, you can naturally earn more.
Deng Yuntai pondered for a while and said: "Now that the New Year is approaching, everyone is busy, and there are fewer people coming to the restaurant to eat than before. I think there is no need to keep it any longer. Let's just close the door and go home to celebrate the New Year tomorrow. Sister Ping, you how do you feel?"
Zhang Xiuping nodded and said: "That makes sense. Let's open the door again on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Brother Tai, do you think it's okay?"
Deng Yunzhen played with her little niece for a while, then she carried her to her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and asked: "Brother, sister-in-law, students are on holiday now, and the New Year will be here in more than ten days. When will we close the door and go home to celebrate the New Year?" ah?"
Among the more than ten people, there are only three girls, one is Song Yu from Bobai, one is Liu Xiaoman from Guilin, and the other is Ding Qiulan from Liuzhou.
Deng Yunzhu rolled her eyes at her younger brother and said, "That's what you boys like to play. Girls don't like to play this. Besides, Xiao Dong'er is still so young. She doesn't know how to watch a fight between a cannon and a tiger. You are just messing around."
Hearing this, Ah Zhang Qi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Jiu Gong, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Others have no relevant work experience, so they don’t have any emotions in this regard, but in any case, it is indeed a joy to be able to play at home until the 15th and then return to work during the Chinese New Year.
However, there is one exception, and that is Mr. Zhang Guangzong. Mr. Zhang’s year-end bonus is one hundred yuan, which is the highest among all employees.
Those who chose to stay in the capital for the New Year also sat together to discuss how to spend the New Year.
"Okay, you three brothers and sisters, please be safe on the way back. See you on the second day of the new year!"
A Zhang Qi said with emotion: "It would be great if there really is such a day."
“You’re welcome, go back and see the kids quickly!”
Zhang Xiuping smiled and said: "Azhen, others go to work on the fourth day of the lunar month, and the better ones go to work on the sixth or eighth day of the lunar month. If we open the business on the 15th day of the lunar month, will we be said to be too lazy?"
Deng Yunheng, Song Yu, Zhao Changzheng, Chong Feilong, Sun Baoguo, Lin Jianjun and others have already made an appointment to stay in the capital this year to celebrate the New Year. In addition, several fellow Guangxi residents have also said they will not go back this year and will stay in the capital to celebrate the New Year.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes before Zhang Qi stood up and said, "Jiu Gong, I have to go back. The child needs to eat when he wakes up!"
This year-end bonus is floating, and the amount is completely decided by the boss.
After paying wages and year-end bonuses, Zhang Xiuping said with a smile: "I have worked hard for you all in the past six months. Let's go back and have a good year, and come back to work on the 16th of the first lunar month next year."
Zhang Xiuping smiled and said: "That's right, it's the 16th day of the lunar month, not the 6th day of the lunar month. The restaurant must not have much business at the beginning of the year, so we'll take a longer holiday and wait until the 15th day of the lunar month to open again."
Ding Qiulan is a girl with a delicate mind. She vaguely guessed that the president and Deng Yunheng were taking care of her. However, they had already said this, and the two female classmates also thanked her. If she didn't express her stance, then she would Not fitting in anymore.
Deng Shirong comforted him: "We are already doing well here. In other places, men and women are the same. In a situation like yours, people would have long been arrested and sterilized in other places. Here we can wait until you give birth to a son." Arresting you for sterilization is already a show of kindness."
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I think you should be back in the past few days, Dashi, A Liumei, you stay with uncle today and go home tomorrow. It happened that a few juniors in the village burned a few swarms of bees the day before yesterday. Give it to me, I haven’t eaten it yet!”
Every year on the eve of school holidays, the Guangxi Fellows Association will take time to have a meal together to exchange information about going home. Those who need to go home for the New Year will go back together, so that they can take care of each other on the way.
Unless they are in real difficulties or are naturally stingy, male students are always generous in front of female students.
Deng Yunzhu said: "Then when she comes back, I will have to play with her more. I can't let her forget me as my little aunt."
So, if we really want to go to the Great Wall to see the snow scene, we have to wait near the Badaling Great Wall in advance, and then we must first solve the problems of good food and accommodation.
Other fellow villagers also expressed their support.
“You wait a moment.”
As for the youngest daughter and fourth son, there is no need to mention these two scumbags. Anyway, Deng Shirong's biggest wish is for them to finish high school, and there are not many other requirements.
Xiao Dong'er didn't understand what it meant to go home to celebrate the New Year, but she obviously understood the last sentence, and said in a cute voice: "I miss grandpa!"
The brothers and sisters lost their temper and ran out quickly to greet the eldest brother, sister-in-law and others. To be precise, they were all going to the little niece.
Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhen, Xiao Donger, Bu Dashi, Liu Aihong and other relatives got on the bus back to their hometown.
Deng Yuntai hummed, then looked at his relatives on his mother's side and asked, "Cousin, how about you?"
"uncle!"
The two of them looked at each other and suddenly had a tacit understanding.
The most fun stage for children is after one year old and before three years old. Now Xiao Donger is at the cutest age. She can be said to be the pistachio of the restaurant. Everyone likes to tease her when they have nothing to do.
It’s afternoon.
Zhang Xiuping nodded and said: "Okay, then I will make statistics and pay everyone's salary and year-end bonus. Then when you will go to work next year, you must also decide the time in advance."
Zhang Xiuping hummed and said, "Okay, that's it. Azhen, go and tell everyone. I'll do the statistics here and pay everyone's salary and year-end bonus before get off work today."
Until three months ago, her sixth child finally gave birth to a son, and her status in her husband's family has finally been greatly improved.
Liu Xiaoman is a freshman who has just been admitted to Peking University this year. She is the best-looking and good-looking among the three girls.
Deng Yunzhen responded and went to tell the employees about it.
At this time, Deng Yuntai was also teasing his daughter. Deng Yunzhen simply let Xiao Dong'er be held by him and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that we are lazy, it's that we don't do the kind of things that get half the result with twice the effort. During the Chinese New Year, everyone is eating and drinking. Yes, except for a few people, it is estimated that most people will not choose to eat in restaurants at the beginning of the year.
Deng Yuntai and others entered the house and immediately greeted their father (uncle).
Deng Yunzhen said: "Everyone is busy visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, so no one will come to the restaurant to eat. The restaurant opens early and there is not much business. It is better to wait until the 15th day of the month before opening."
Therefore, upon hearing Deng Yunheng’s proposal, everyone agreed.
Lin Jianjun said: "I have longed for the Great Wall for a long time. Sister Song's proposal is exactly what she wants. I must be counted among them."
So if we open the door early, there is actually no business. It is better to wait until the 15th and then open the door again, so that the family can get along longer. "
Seeing that the two girls wanted to go to the Great Wall to see the snow scenery, the boys naturally would not be disappointed, so they all agreed.
Xiaodong'er is one year and two months old and has already learned to walk and talk. However, now that the weather is cold, she wears more clothes and is wrapped tightly from head to toe, so it is difficult for her to walk. Shaking and looking very unstable.
So the fellow villagers who chose to go home for the New Year sat together and talked about going home together.
The younger son is also doing okay. Although he has never been able to get the first place in the class, he has been among the top in the class for a long time and can be considered as educated.
…
"dad!"
Suifeng Hotel, Xiao Donger waved her little hands and walked unsteadily towards her aunt Deng Yunzhen.
Zhang Xiuping began to pay salaries and year-end bonuses to employees.
Liu Aihong said with a smile on her face: "Then I am indeed blessed!"
“Got it, we’ll pay attention.”
While talking, Deng Shirong forced something into Ah Zhang Qi's hand.
So, Ding Qiulan also thanked her seriously.
Song Yu was not afraid of the stage, and said openly: "Great leaders have said that you are not a true man unless you have visited the Great Wall. Several of our fellow villagers have been to the Great Wall, but we only went there during the summer vacation. I heard The snow scene of the Great Wall is a rare beauty in the world. I want to go to the Great Wall to see this snow scene this year. I wonder if you are interested? "
Zhang Guofu said happily: "That's great. When I used to work in a state-owned hotel, I always had to rush back to work on the first day of the new year. I was very nervous during the New Year, and I didn't have the happiness that the New Year should have at all. Now Well, I can finally relax and celebrate the New Year at home!”
Deng Yunheng said immediately: "Second sister, you can't **** Xiaodong'er from me. When she comes back, I want to catch Paohu (a small insect that likes to build nests in the leaves of acanthus. It's only about the size of a soybean, but it's very good. Fighting, whenever two cannon tigers meet in the den, they will fight. The local children like to look for this thing everywhere and come back to fight each other to see who can find it better. It’s almost like fighting with crickets. She will definitely like it.”
… “Auntie!”
Chen Bangguo said: "Cousin, let's go home first, and then come over to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle on the second day of the Lunar New Year."
At present, there are a total of 27 fellow Guangxi people at Peking University. Basically, half choose to go back to celebrate the New Year, and the other half choose to stay in the capital for the New Year.
After paying wages and year-end bonuses to the employees, having a staff meal together, clearing away the dishes and cleaning up, the hotel officially has a holiday.
Deng Shirong was not surprised when he heard this. In this era, other places have already tightened their laws, but due to various reasons, they have not yet entered the most severe period. They are all from the countryside, and they generally do not do things right. .
Bu Dashi said: "Uncle, come and fry the bee pupae. If you have anything else to do, just leave it to me."
Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "No need. You have just come back and are already tired from riding in the car. Just sit here and warm yourself by the fire while you wait to eat."
