Chapter 680: Another Annual Gathering
In the North, especially before the New Millennium, the process of urbanization and modernization did not develop as fast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSo the flavor of the year is relatively strong, and this is also something we were able to experience when we were children. Take Anxi in this period as an example, basically it is not more than fifteen, and it is not considered to be the end of the year. Although the company has been working since the beginning of the tenth year, this is only a buffer period for taking holidays and entering the state. At this stage, there is basically no work to be done, and each production plant is only doing pre-production maintenance and cleaning, and other preparatory work, and the real production and work will not officially start until after the fifteenth year.
Seeing that the New Year was almost over, Jiang Chen still had one very important thing to do, that is, the few of them had a dinner party once a year. This dinner is not only a platform for their brothers to communicate and celebrate each other, but also an important time for them to discuss the direction of their work in the New Year. There were a lot of periods last year, and Jiang Chen has been busy during the New Year, so this dinner has not been carried out. So I waited until the end of the year before I started it late. This year's dinner venue was chosen at the fat man's house, on the one hand, because his home is relatively spacious, and on the other hand, he just got married, so he and Nicole both want to invite everyone to dinner. But they ignore one point, that is, neither of them can cook, the fat man can't do it directly, and Nicole, a foreign daughter-in-law, has not learned much about the breadth and depth of French food, and now she can only make a steak, foie gras mushroom soup and the like. These are candlelit dinners for two people that should be quite romantic, but a party of many people is a little overwhelming. But fortunately, these two people didn't forget Jiang Chen, so although it was said that these two people were treating, it was Jiang Chen who cooked.
Therefore, Jiang Chen and Wei Lingling came to the fat man's house very early to start preparations. Wei Lingling also came back not long ago, although the family wanted to play in the oasis for a few more days, but they all had work to do, so they could only come back. She also knew about this party, so she was very active, and brought some souvenirs she brought back from the oasis.
Jiang Chen originally thought that the two of them were the first to come, but he didn't expect that after arriving, other people came. There are Ma Jun and his wife, as well as Dongzi and glasses. The glasses are still small, so there is no need to worry, but Dongzi, this kid, everyone, including Jiang Chen and Wei Lingling, also introduced him to the object. But this kid didn't take a fancy to any of them, so he hasn't made any of them so far. You must know that among the people they introduce, there are also beautiful, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and family backgrounds. But this stunned boy didn't find a suitable one, which made his parents and Jiang Chen have a headache.
Seeing Jiang Chen and his wife coming, everyone who was basking in the sun and chatting got up to greet Jiang Chen. Seeing this, Jiang Chen replied with a smile: "I said, why did you all come so early, I thought the two of us came early." ā
"Hehe, there is nothing to do at home, so I came early. Ma Jun said with a smile.
Jiang Chen handed the things in his hand to the fat man and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law came back from the oasis just now, brought you some cured beef and some other things, take them to the kitchen, and I will show you my hand in a while." ā
"Haha, yes. The fat man took the things from Jiang Chen's hand, and then walked towards the kitchen. Before Nicole could do anything, Ma Jun's daughter-in-law Fang Hui offered Jiang Chen and Wei Lingling a cup of tea. Everyone knew that it was not convenient for Nicole to get pregnant now, so they didn't let her do more. Although it is said that the pregnancy of foreign girls is very different from ours, people still pay attention to exercising more, and they don't care about us so much, but who let this come to us, and within a few days, it was made into the local customs by the fat man's mother and a large group of aunts and daughters-in-law.
Because it's still early, it's not a hurry to cook now. So Wei Lingling and the three of them hid in the kitchen to pick vegetables and wash vegetables while whispering, while Jiang Chen and the others sat in a glass room converted from a balcony exposed outside the fat man's house, smoking cigarettes and drinking tea.
Dongzi filled Jiang Chen with water and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, tell us how the chief received you." ā
Hearing this, the fat man was also interested and said, "Yes, Brother Chen, tell me about it." ā
Hehe, Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Actually, there is nothing, everything that should be said has been told to you, he is just a kind old man, nothing special." ā
"What, let's talk about it, let's talk about it, we haven't met the chief yet. Dongzi said dissatisfied.
"Whatever you say, you won't be able to see it yourself when the time comes. Jiang Chen didn't have a good airway.
"See for yourself, you mean we have a chance to meet the chief?" said Dongzi's eyes, and the three people on the side also pricked up their ears to listen. No matter what it is, being received by the leader is definitely an enviable thing, so several people showed great enthusiasm.
"As long as you do your job, you'll see you, and so will you. Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"You mean let's become advanced workers and then go to Beijing?" asked Ma Jun thoughtfully.
Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome. ā
Everyone thought for a while, and suddenly the glasses were surprised: "You mean that his old man is coming to inspect us." ā
Hearing what the glasses said, everyone became excited, and then looked at Jiang Chen expectantly. Jiang Chen saw everyone's expressions and then nodded and said, "That's right, the chief said that if you want us to do a good job, he will come to us to visit you at the appropriate time." ā
"Really!" everyone boiled at once. In this era of advocating glory and advocating heroes, this is definitely boiling news. Now that it has finally been confirmed by Jiang Chen, you can imagine how excited everyone will be at the moment. Before, they envied Jiang Chen, and they would even be proud of being Jiang Chen's brother. Now it's finally their turn, how can they make his mother unhappy. Even Ma Jun, who is usually more mature and calm, couldn't close his mouth with a smile, which caused the three of them to frequently roll their eyes in the kitchen.
After calming down for a while, the fat man took the lead in speaking: "That Brother Chen, when is this appropriate time, it will not be far away." ā
Seeing everyone's worried eyes, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "How come, the chief must have an arrangement." It's just that you know that the chief's work is relatively busy, and it is not that he can come here, but when he can come, this depends on the arrangement. However, if our results can be more brilliant, then there will be less resistance to the arrival of the chief, and the days will be closer. ā
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, we will definitely achieve more excellent results this year to wait for his old man's arrival. Dongzi clenched his fists and said confidently.
And the other people were also very excited, only the glasses also showed a smile on the surface, but Chong saw infinite entanglement and sadness in his eyes.
