Two days later, Chen Qingdong received a call from Liu Zhaolin in Longwan, in which Liu Zhaolin thanked Chen Qingdong for his kindness and told Chen Qingdong that with the help of Zhao Changbin, the municipal hospital re-examined Liu Wenjuan, and finally passed it successfully, and Liu Wenjuan was about to become a regular employee of the municipal hospital.

Liu Zhaolin said that after returning to Shuangshan Town, he must treat Chen Qingdong to a meal!

After that, Liu Wenjuan also took the phone and said "thank you" to Chen Qingdong seriously!

Zhao Changbin didn't call Chen Qingdong again because of this incident, perhaps in Zhao Changbin's eyes, this kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning at all, and there is no need to call Chen Qingdong again.

Chen Qingdong naturally didn't care about this, the important thing was that this matter was solved perfectly, and he put all his energy into his work.

After successfully solving the problem of the merchant alliance, the work of the market demolition was carried out very smoothly, and the speed was also very fast, it took less than two weeks, the whole market was razed to the ground, and the construction waste has almost all been cleaned out, the construction team has begun to enter the construction of a new market, the sound of the machine every day has become the main theme of Shuangshan Town, although the tranquility of the past has been broken, but the people are quickly accustomed to all this, and are also looking forward to seeing a new market rise from the ground!

During this time, Chen Qingdong spent hours in the assembly almost every day watching the progress of the project.

Zhang Yungang and Guo Yufeng also attached great importance to the progress of this project, not only gave the greatest inclined support in terms of policy, but also often went to the site to observe, inquire about the progress of Chen Qingdong's project, and gave Chen Qingdong authorization in a timely manner for some small problems to arise, so that Chen Qingdong had full authority to solve them.

Time flies, and in the midst of hustle and bustle, 2001 finally arrives at the end of the year.

In order to cooperate with the road repair work after the year, at the request of Zhang Yungang, the construction of the factory must be carried out overtime, and during the Spring Festival, except for the first day or two of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the rest of the time must continue construction.

It's just that, due to the traditional New Year's plot of the common people, during the Spring Festival, almost no one is willing to continue to work.

However, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, Chen Qingdong promised the contractor Wei Laosi that all those who continue to work during the Spring Festival will be given three times the usual salary, and guarantee to add vegetables at noon every day, everyone will be given an extra bowl of meat and vegetables, and even guaranteed to drink chicken soup or mutton soup every night!

This additional money is paid directly by Lvye Real Estate Company, and there is no need for Wei Laosi to advance money.

As a result, after Wei Laosi released the news, those workers who shouted that they were going to have a holiday during the Spring Festival all shut up, and those who were eager to sign up for work soon exceeded the amount of labor needed, and even some young people who went out to work and came back for the Spring Festival saw such an opportunity to make quick money at home, and they all enthusiastically went to Wei Laosi to sign up, and even appeared to climb relatives with Wei Laosi and go through the back door in order to sign up for work!

As a result, Wei Laosi also got over the addiction of being a leader, and easily found enough workers to work during the Spring Festival.

Paying these workers three times the wages is obviously increasing the cost of the Green Field Real Estate Development Company, and these money can only be borne by the Green Field Real Estate Development Company itself, if calculated from the economic cost, it is obviously not very cost-effective, because if the Spring Festival holiday, after the Spring Festival and then start work, it is just to postpone the project date back for more than ten days, but it can save a lot of money.

However, in terms of political costs, Chen Qingdong did this to really please Zhang Yungang, and at the same time showed Zhang Yungang his ability to carry out his work.

Compared with the two, Chen Qingdong will naturally choose to please Zhang Yungang without hesitation.

And Zhang Yungang also praised Chen Qingdong very much after knowing that Chen Qingdong had successfully handled this matter and that the construction project would not stop during the Spring Festival, which made Chen Qingdong feel that his efforts were not in vain.

Due to the hot progress of the project in the Shuangshan Town Market, Chen Qingdong, Chen Hongbing, as well as Zheng Hongtao, Wei Laosi and others stayed on the construction site almost every day, for fear that something would happen during the Spring Festival.

As for Chen Qingdong's family's purchase of New Year's goods and other matters, they were all handed over to Chen Weimin and his wife.

Until the 27th day of the lunar month, according to their agreement to the workers, the three days of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year were for everyone to take a holiday, so this is the penultimate day of work before the year.

Chen Qingdong and Chen Hongbing were watching the workers on the construction site in the hope of completing the phased tasks before the Spring Festival, when a phone call from Chen Weimin called them back.

Their sister, Chen Yuan, who is studying at the Fourth Military Medical University in Xi'an, is back!

Because Chen Yuan has been going to school outside, and she is also a girl who is particularly enthusiastic about public medical care, since going to college, she has not gone home for several consecutive winter and summer vacations, and even last year's Spring Festival was spent in Africa, this time Chen Yuan finally went home for the New Year, although the construction site was very busy, but Chen Hongbing and Chen Qingdong did not hesitate to hand over the work of the construction site to Zheng Hongtao and Wei Laosi, and then the two brothers drove back to the city, first went to buy a bunch of New Year's goods, and then returned home.

The daughter has not been home for a year and a half, Chen Weimin and Wang Xiuying have already looked forward to their daughter's longing, and when Chen Yuan came back, she didn't say hello, so she returned home suddenly, Wang Xiuying saw her daughter suddenly appear at home, and immediately shed tears of joy, while counting down Chen Yuan who had not gone home for so long, making the family worried, and sending Chen Weimin to hurry up to buy delicious food.

When the two brothers, Chen Hongbing and Chen Qingdong, walked into the house with large bags of New Year's goods, Wang Xiuying and Chen Yuan, mother and daughter, were making dumplings in the yard, and Chen Weimin was next to a red rooster that had just been slaughtered.

Seeing such a warm scene, Chen Qingdong's heart swelled with irrepressible warmth, at this moment, he deeply felt that no matter how good or bad it was outside, home would always be the most comfortable place.

"Dad, Mom, Yuanyuan." Chen Qingdong smiled and shouted, "We're back." ”

Chen Hongbing didn't call his parents, but looked at Chen Yuan, who is now slim and slim, can be called a big beauty, and has a special temperament on her body, and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan, I haven't seen you for more than a year, you are really a female college eighteen changes!" ”

Chen Yuan stood up with a smile, she has not been a talkative and introverted person since she was a child, although she is very close to her family in her heart, but she has never been coquettish to her parents and brothers like other girls, and has never expressed her feelings directly, but always expresses this feeling very vaguely.

Especially after going to college, Chen Yuan's personality is even more introverted.

Seeing the two elder brothers who had been away for a long time returning home, Chen Yuan was very excited, but she didn't show it, she just walked to them with a smile on her face, took something for each of them, and called sweetly: "Big brother, second brother." ”

Chen Qingdong looked at his sister, who was becoming more and more beautiful and her temperament was becoming more and more mature, and felt very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"yes, brother." Chen Yuan said, "I'm sorry, brother, I haven't come back for so long, which makes you all worried." ”

Chen Hongbing, Chen Qingdong, and Chen Yuan are actually introverted people, except for Chen Hongbing, who loves to play and talk since childhood, Chen Qingdong and Chen Yuan, brothers and sisters, are actually people who rarely speak, and are rarely willing to express their feelings.

At this time, the three siblings hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and everyone was very excited, but the more so, the more they had nothing to say, everything was silent.

Wang Xiuying also knew the character of her three children, and immediately said: "Hongbing, you go and help your father clean up the rooster, Xiaodong, there are still two carp in the kitchen basin, you go and clean up, and give you fish soup to drink at noon." ”

"Okay!" Chen Qingdong said with a smile, "Mom, today it's chicken, fish, and dumplings, so rich!" ”

"It's all for Yuanyuan, you two stinky boys are stained with your sister's light." Wang Xiuying said.

"Haha, then I have to thank my sister today!" Chen Hongbing said with a smile.

Chen Hongbing also joked: "Yuanyuan, you don't know, you are usually not at home, when Qingdong and I go home for dinner, our parents eat a vegan feast for us." ”

Wang Xiuying scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, dare to say that your parents are not, the next time you come back, there will be no vegetarian dishes, and you will be completely worthy of you if you cook a bowl of noodles with pickles." ”

Chen Hongbing said with a smile: "Then the next time I come back, I have to eat a bowl of braised pork on the street before going home." ”

Chen Yuan watched them chat, and she didn't interject, just laughed.

The Chen family's dishes tonight can be said to be very rich, with a total of ten dishes of meat and vegetables, plus a pot of carp soup and lamb dumplings, which is really more hearty than the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the Chinese New Year's Eve of the previous year.

Chen Weimin is also very happy today, the three children have gone home, and the eldest son and younger son are now officials in Shuangshan Town, and they are all doing well, and their daughters are also studying in prestigious universities, with good grades, and they are both very strong, and they also have salaries, although they can't help the children, but at least they won't drag down the children, such a state is also a state that Chen Weimin has been yearning for many years!

Therefore, Chen Weimin, who has been quitting drinking for a long time, also asked Chen Qingdong to bring a bottle of liquor for the first time, and he had to drink a glass of wine together as a family!

As for drinking, Chen Hongbing and Chen Qingdong are naturally not a problem, and Wang Xiuying and Chen Yuan, who have never drunk alcohol, are also infected by the atmosphere at home, and each poured a glass.

After the family sat down, Chen Weimin, who had always been relatively silent, dropped his bookbag uncharacteristically under the infection of the harmonious atmosphere of the family, and he said very emotionally: "There is such a sentence in "The Book of Rites and University": Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you must first know it, and you will know it in Gewu. Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world is peaceful. ”

After dropping this bookbag, Chen Weimin said: "This passage is very good, and it is also my favorite passage in my life, but the artistic conception of this passage is too big, it is for those romantic characters to be used as a benchmark in life, ordinary people like us naturally cannot reach such a realm, for me, what I want in this life, without him, as long as our whole family can be healthy, harmonious, no need to be rich and expensive, as long as there is no catastrophe, I will be satisfied!" ”

Speaking of the back, Chen Weimin's eyes were uncontrollably shining with tears.

Infected by Chen Weimin, Chen Qingdong and they were also very emotional, everyone was a little silent at first, Chen Qingdong first raised his glass, and said in simple language: "Today, our whole family gathers together, and the three of us brothers toast our parents with a glass of wine, wish our parents good health, and wish our family better and better!" ”

Chen Yuan also said emotionally: "Dad, Mom, brother, I have no other extravagant hopes, I hope you can be healthy and happy every day!" ”

Seeing that the two younger siblings said blessings, Chen Hongbing, who was the eldest brother, was embarrassed not to say a word, so he also scratched his head and said, "Dad, Mom, I promise you that I will be fine in the future and will no longer make you angry like before." Qingdong, Yuanyuan, the two of you only have to use your brother's place in the future, as long as you say a word, no matter what it is, I will do it for you, and I will definitely not frown! ”

Chen Qingdong and Chen Yuan both laughed, and Chen Hongbing joked: "I have one thing for you to help with now." ”

Chen Hongbing said arrogantly: "What's the matter? You said! ”

Chen Qingdong smiled: "Hurry up and marry me a sister-in-law!" ”

Chen Hongbing's face immediately turned red, and he scolded: "You stinky boy......"

Chen Qingdong immediately said: "Brother, you said it yourself just now, you don't have a word about what we want!" Our parents and sister are here, you can't regret it! ”

Chen Weimin and Wang Xiuying also looked at Chen Hongbing with an expectant eye, Chen Hongbing's divorce is the biggest concern of their old couple at present, and they both desperately hope that Chen Hongbing can marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and it is best to have another son, and pass on the incense to their old Chen family.

Chen Hongbing was originally reluctant to talk about feelings in front of others, but now that he looked at the eager and expectant eyes of these close relatives, he was extremely excited, nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay!" It's on me! Next year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, let your sister-in-law sit here! ”

Chen Qingdong and Chen Yuan immediately applauded when they heard this!

Chen Weiming and Wang Xiuying also nodded happily, and tears almost flowed out of Wang Xiuying's eyes.

Chen Weimin saw that his three children were so sensible and harmonious, so he raised his glass excitedly and said, "Let's have a drink!" I wish our family better and better! The more prosperous! ”

Wang Xiuying, Chen Hongbing, and Chen Yuan also raised their cups, and the cups of the family touched together, making a crisp and pleasant sound!

Cheers !!
