The annual Spring Festival has begun, and the Spring Festival transportation of the railway has a history, known as the seventh wonder of the world, and more than hundreds of millions of people travel every year.

In recent years, with the economic prosperity of the old area of Yimeng, more and more people have gone out of their homes and mountains to pursue their dreams and happy lives.

The main direction of the buses stopping at Yimeng East Station is Qingdao, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Guiyang, Chengdu and other big cities, which are very busy during the Spring Festival every year.

Railway Spring Festival transportation time is generally 40 days, 15 days before the Spring Festival is the time for people to return to their hometowns, the peak is from the 20th to the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve, 25 days after the Spring Festival, is the time when people return to the city where the unit and school are located, the peak is from the sixth to the twentieth of the first month, and the main passenger flow is the flow of visiting relatives, migrant workers and students.

There is also the custom of "going out in 369" in the old area of Yimeng, and some people would rather go out in 369 a day earlier or one day later, resulting in a relatively concentrated travel time for passengers, which is a serious test of railway transportation capacity.

Every year in the Spring Festival, it is the busiest time for the railway, and all departments of the railway are highly nervous.

Zhuge Huaizhi transferred to Yimeng East Station is the first time to face the Spring Festival in the passenger post, before the start of the Spring Festival, the Yimeng train depot has held a spring athletes' conference, prepared a large number of Spring Festival materials, overhauled and renovated the equipment, and asked all station leaders and passenger personnel, no special circumstances as much as possible not to take annual leave, many people take the initiative to work overtime, to cope with the possible peak of passenger flow, which has become an annual practice.

Zhuge Huaizhi had no experience in taking charge of passenger transport for the first time, and he was afraid that those difficult workers would give him some problems, so he secretly prayed that nothing would happen, and he was very nervous.

Unexpectedly, all the passenger transport personnel, including Hao Hong, who usually has a lot of things, did not make any unreasonable demands, and all the staff actively participated in the Spring Festival transportation work, Zhuge Huaizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the passenger flow was relatively stable before the year, fifteen days passed smoothly, and finally reached the Chinese New Year's Eve, followed by a few days with less passenger flow, and generally people would not go out before the fifth day of the new year, so the passenger flow was relatively flat.

Zhuge Huaizhi and Liu Zhidong stayed on duty at the station, considering that the cook was far away from home, they let him go home for the holiday, and Zhuge Huaizhi offered to be responsible for cooking.

Zhuge Huaizhi in the first year of junior high school, his father died, the early life was difficult, so that he lived independently early, laundry, cooking, housework, everything is good, after graduating from junior high school, he was also unemployed for a period of time in a restaurant opened by a labor service company, and the dishes were fried well.

After being transferred to Yimeng East Station to take charge of logistics work, he saw that the only cook in the canteen was Lao Qiu, a temporary worker, so he decided to let him take four days off work every month, and for these four days, he would cook in the canteen.

The station staff are willing to eat the food cooked by Zhuge Huaizhi, one is delicious, and the other is more willing to put oil, and Lao Qiu is too frugal, and the workers say that the dishes made by Lao Qiu are like pig food boiled with boiling water and salt.

In the afternoon, the stationmaster Liu Zhidong went to inspect the station, and Zhuge Huaizhi prepared a big meal in the canteen, and was busy for three or four hours, making more than a dozen dishes, preparing to have a meal with the passenger and freight workers who worked on the festival at 19 o'clock in the evening.

The dishes are four cold and ten hot, and the four cold dishes are ginger preserved eggs, old vinegar fungus, cucumber mixed with jellyfish and Yimeng mixed with three silks, especially Yimeng mixed with three silks, which is Zhuge Huaizhi's specialty side dish, black pickle shreds, chili shreds and green onion shreds, add sesame oil and vinegar, a small amount of light soy sauce and mix, very refreshing.

The ten hot dishes are stewed chicken with mountain mushrooms, steamed pomfret fish, fried hairtail, stewed winter melon with pork ribs, stir-fried pork with garlic, three fresh, stewed sea rice with eggs, stir-fried Yimeng, mushroom rape and old-fashioned egg soup, and a big pot of rice was made, and a big table was set up full of Dengdeng!

All these meat and vegetable ingredients are purchased by the trade union of the train depot before the festival for the employees to spend the festival at their posts with peace of mind, and then sent to the canteens of each station.

At nineteen o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve, except for the two personnel in the train room, they could not leave their posts, and they needed to send someone to send the prepared meals to the train room in part, and all the other dozen or so employees at the station gathered in the cafeteria, and the restaurant was full of laughter and excitement for a while.

The older one sat at the table and talked, and the younger one was responsible for dividing the dishes and holding chopsticks, and after everyone was seated, Stationmaster Liu first gave a speech, only to see him holding a glass of Sprite drink and saying to everyone, "It's another year of Chinese New Year's Eve, I first extend holiday greetings to all brothers and sisters who stick to the front line of production, everyone has worked hard this year!"

Everyone applauded desperately, Liu Zhidong went on to say, "I hope that in the new year, you are healthy, all your wishes come true, I first toast you two glasses, good things come in pairs! Everyone knows, working on the railway, you can't drink alcohol during the shift time, I use the right to drink as a wine to toast everyone, as long as there is feelings, what to drink is wine, as long as the feelings are true, you must take a sip, the first cup wishes everyone a happy Spring Festival, all the best, everyone must eat and drink well!"

Feelings Stationmaster Liu's toast is also a set, for a while, staggered, laughter, everyone drank the drink in their hands, and Stationmaster Liu then said, "This second cup, let's all salute Zhuge Stationmaster, thank him for preparing such a sumptuous meal for us today!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and they all said, "Zhuge stationmaster, hard work!", and the conductor Sun Limei said, "I love to eat Zhuge stationmaster's fried dishes, the taste is so good!"

"Okay, I'll go back and report to the train depot, let him work part-time as a cook, and cook for you alone!" Stationmaster Liu quipped, "coaxed", everyone laughed, Xiao Sun blushed, and said coquettishly, "Station Liu, look at what you said." ”

"Hahaha, the following is a speech from the stationmaster Zhuge for us!"

Everyone applauded warmly, Zhuge Huaizhi looked around, his eyes were moist, he said, "I came to Yimeng East Station, less than a year, I deeply feel like a family with everyone, thank you very much for your support to me, especially the sisters in the passenger room, I have great trust in me, and the passenger transport work of our station has also been greatly improved, which is the result of everyone's joint efforts!"

A female employee applauded together, Zhuge Huaizhi continued, "Now the first fifteen days of the Spring Festival has come to an end, I hope that everyone who sits again will continue to work hard and successfully complete this year's Spring Festival task, for this goal, let's all toast together!"

"Okay, cheers!" everyone echoed in unison, everyone drank and ate food together, talked and laughed, like a big family.

In the middle of the staggering, Zhuge Huaizhi thought of He Rulan and her two children at home alone for the New Year, it was estimated that it was very lonely, and he felt a little guilty for a while, at this time, the mobile phone rang, it was He Rulan!

"Dad, where do you guess we are?" was Haoran's voice on the phone, "I don't know!" Zhuge Huaizhi was a little curious.

"Uncle, Happy New Year!" this was Zhuge Xiangrui's voice, "Huaizhi, Xiaohe has brought the child to your brother's house for the New Year! Zhenguo drove them and Jingwen and their mother! You can work at the station with peace of mind!" The phone was handed over to his mother Wu Fengqiu again.

"Oh! Okay! Thank you, big brother! I wish my mother a happy New Year! Give my eldest brother a New Year's greeting!" Zhuge Xiangrui's eyes moistened again.
