December 24, 1982, Christmas Eve in the West, Christmas Eve.

Many people think that foreign festivals are related to the country's people and birds, and the army agrees with this, but the general environment of later generations has highlighted Christmas and Valentine's Day, even Singles' Day has flourished, even if they are not, they can't stop the rest of the crowd from pursuing.

On Christmas Eve, "giving apples", apples as a gift are original, and the homonym of apples refers to peace and security, and it also represents the expression of love between couples, because apples are red, the same as fiery hearts.

Fang Dajun bought 6,000 catties of apples before Christmas Eve, in fact, it was not to celebrate Christmas Eve, but it happened to coincide with this point in time, which was a coincidence.

Tung Chee-hwa's working hours are actually relatively free, and it doesn't matter if he is a little earlier or later, compared to today's Friday, when he didn't come out of his home until nearly 10 o'clock, and as a result, he received a leaflet as soon as he left the community.

I casually glanced at the contents and couldn't help but chuckle.

There is still not much font on the list, but it is eye-catching, with a bite of an apple in the upper left corner, and the title is that you can exchange a big apple for a leaflet.

Did you know? Every year on December 24th, it is the Christmas Eve before Christmas, a traditional Western holiday, and it is rumored that if you can receive an apple on this night, then you and your family will be safe and healthy for the following year......

Apple clothing, Christmas Eve free delivery of apples large-scale activities, will be held on time at eight o'clock in the evening on the 24th, anyone holding a leaflet with an apple pattern, you can receive a big apple for free in any store of apple clothing, multiple leaflets can also receive a plurality of apples, each store is ready to have a thousand big apples, twelve stores, a total of up to 12,000 big apples, eight o'clock in the evening, meet on time. We're not going to see you anymore.

In addition to Apple, it will also be in 183,283...... 983, every 83-digit customer who receives an apple will get a free set of high-end clothes worth 19 yuan, 8 cents and 3 cents, and each store is limited to nine sets, want to try your luck in the next year? Remember to kill the number 83 in seconds!

There is a small line at the bottom: the right of final interpretation of the event. Owned by Apple Apparels!

"This kid is also a loss to be able to make such a play." Tung Chee-hwa took the list, suddenly returned home, and showed it to his beloved wife.

Zhao Yan immediately shouted: "I'll just say, the leaflet will definitely have an effect, look at this leaflet." There is no mention of the address of the clothing store, and if you want to get apples or try your luck and get high-end clothes, you have to check out the leaflets that were sent out yesterday. ”

An apple is really not cheap now, and a slightly larger apple can be worth a pound of rice, which can be converted. It's worth a dime. Now the clothing store has to give away more than 10,000 apples, and a total of 108 sets of clothes, which is not a small amount of money.

The key is that this method can be happy with the people, and it also involves the legend of a Christmas Eve, even if you don't run for this apple, but to get a peace, it's right.

Predictable. At that time, there will definitely be no few people who will receive apples, and it is impossible to say how many people there are.

"Jianhua, why don't our family go to get apples in the evening and try our luck?" Zhao Yan proposed.

Tung Chee-hwa smiled bitterly, feeling that he had dug a pit and received such a childish thing as receiving apples. He really can't do it alone, there is no shortage of this apple at home, but now can he refuse, "Okay." Let's go as a family. But there's still three lists left. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go out and get it." Zhao Yan got up and changed her shoes as she spoke.

Wang Ying didn't know anything about apple delivery at all, and after meeting in the morning to know the situation, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Dajun, how did you come up with this idea?" ”

Fang Dajun smiled, "Think about it casually, I don't know if it has any effect." ”

"I think it must have an effect, even if it doesn't, the apple can't be sent out and won't be broken, if you can't digest it, my sister will sell it for you, and the capital will definitely be recovered." Wang Ying played a package ticket.

It is also true that apples will be stored for a longer time than many other fruits, and as long as they are not artificially bumped, they are not easy to rot.

"Let's talk about it then, now, you can help me with something." Fang Dajun explained again, and the two did not have the slightest embarrassment when they met, and they did not mention the super friendship relationship that happened yesterday.

Xiao Yuqin was eating apples on the side, she was already the third, and there was no sign of stopping, this kind of life fascinated her, and she even wanted to live like this for the rest of her life......

As soon as lunch passed, I saw a big truck driving into the garment factory, and as soon as the driver Zhang Zhipeng jumped out of the car, he shouted loudly: "The factory director has sent good things back." ”

Li Yulan rushed over when she heard the sound and took Xiao Xia with her, and when Zhang Zhipeng saw it, he immediately explained: "The factory director sent a cart of apples back, and each person sent twelve big apples......"

As he spoke, he took out a letter again, the scribbled font was the same as the words on the meal ticket, Fang Dajun wrote it himself, and the explanation on it was very simple, each worker was given twelve apples, the team leader and above were issued twenty-four, and the director level was issued thirty-six.

Including the investment households, each household is also 36 apples, his family directly sent 120 apples to the past, if the apples are not enough, then reissued, if the apples are surplus, they will be sent to the primary school, two teachers, one student, Jiaoshan Primary School priority gift. Apples are given out as a New Year's Day benefit in advance.

Li Yulan smiled and didn't ask how much the apple spent, since she had already bought it and the army had arranged it, she just did it.

When boxes of apples were dismantled and distributed to the hands of workers, many employees cried with joy, because the local climate could not grow apples, and the price of apples was high, many workers had never eaten apples, or the number of times they had eaten could be counted with one hand, and now twelve big apples were in hand, just like a dream.

Although their wages can afford to buy apples now, they can afford to buy them and pay benefits in the factory, which is completely different things, and the workers in the garment factory have not yet received their wages.

"What, I have it too!" The one who spoke out was the uncle who guarded the door, from the Dahong Commune next to him, a lonely old man with no children and no daughters. When I am old, I have no one to support him, and now I eat and live in the factory, and I am responsible for the warning work, and the salary is a dead wage, which is naturally not comparable to the workers. He was also helping to unload the goods, and when he got the twelve big apples, he was speechless with excitement. screamed, willing to work in the factory until death.

Apples are cold to the touch, but the heart is warm.

There are many people who eat apples on the spot, but more of them are stored in packages, and I am afraid that they want to take them back to share with their families, or they are reluctant to eat them. Don't think it's a joke, until the early nineties, apples were not popular, and they were always a rare fruit in the township.

After the morning shift, the night shift personnel did not miss it, and followed the truck to the cement factory, which caused another sensation. It hasn't been long since the last tea was sent, and now it's apple benefits again.

Yang Zhongjian carried thirty-six big apples, plus twenty-four from his son Yang Bo, and sighed: "I have worked in the Jingxian cement factory for so many years, and I have never given out apples......

The cement plant was issued, and the coal plant naturally could not be left behind, including the floor slab factory with only a few people below, as for the investors. Let the workers with the same surname help bring it back, and the rest of the commune secretaries such as Wang Hongwen did not omit it, the courtesy was light and affectionate, even if the apples were not eaten, they looked colorful, prosperous, and peaceful.

As for the drivers, the people who guard the storefronts of the warehouse, the commune's garment room, the small construction team, etc. All those who received wages under Fang Dajun were paid, and those who couldn't be paid on the spot were let the transport team bring them over.

Jin Chi and Li Yulan are a pair of data. Not counting investment households, related households, etc., there are a total of 596 people receiving wages every month, including 338 in garment factories, 62 in cement factories, 58 in coal factories, 52 in sales, 28 in warehouses, 20 in transportation teams, and 38 in construction teams.

In total, about 8,000 apples were sent out, and more than 3,000 apples remained.

It just so happened that all the students in the seven communes could get one each, plus two apples for the teacher, and in the end, neither the surplus nor the gap was large, as if it had been planned a long time ago.

Liu Gang is a primary school student in the flag commune, before school, the teacher suddenly gave a big apple to each student in the class, saying that it was given to everyone by the director of the factory, Liu Gang took the big apple, swallowed the saliva for a long time, and saw that a classmate next to him bit it, and he couldn't control the look of enjoyment.

At this moment, Liu Gang suddenly thought of the text "An Apple" he had just learned, and at dusk, a fire line transporter sent by the Fifth Company flashed into our anti-artillery hole. He was no more than twenty years old, short and thin. After unloading the ammunition on his back, he casually handed me an apple: "Company commander, here you go!" ”

I looked at his sweaty face and asked in surprise, "Where did you get the apple?" ”

"Picked it up halfway through. Company commander, your throat is hoarse, eat to moisten your throat! ”

I looked at the cleanly wiped apple, which was green and red, and gave off an enticing fragrance. At this time, not to mention one, even ten or twenty, I can eat it all in one go.

I handed the apple to the trumpeter. The commander refused to eat anything, and handed it to the hygienist next to him, who in turn handed it to Xiaolan, the wounded man he took care of day and night. The apple spun around and finally came back to me.

A small green apple, in the bubble-proof hole, eight people ate it, turned around, and it turned out that most of it was left...... No one is willing to eat even a little more!

——————

Liu Gang finally covered the big apple with two hands, ran for nearly an hour, sweating profusely, and rushed back to the home of the flag commune, home, deep in the mountains, he stuffed the apple into the hands of his grandmother, who was old and had difficulty moving, and panicked that the teacher had sent two apples, and he had already eaten one on the road, but when he turned around, he kept swallowing saliva.

But in the end, the apple was cut into many petals, and each person in the family had a small petal, and this was the first time he had eaten an apple, and it tasted so good, so sweet...... He will never forget it in this life, his grandmother said, let him study hard, and when he grows up, he will strive to be a worker for the director of the Fang factory, just like Uncle Chen in the cement factory, to be a respected man......

Liu Gang is not an exception, but a microcosm of the entire Beidou area, even Fang Dajun himself did not expect that his temporary intention to send out Apple benefits actually brought him an unprecedented huge influence, and even took root in the young hearts of children......

Afterwards, the teachers all assigned the text homework of "an apple", and finally sent hundreds of excellent essays to the cement factory, each of which had a common denominator, which mentioned Fang Dajun himself, which made Fang Dajun want to hide in shame......

"Sister Yulan, why do I have thirty-six apples?" Xiao Xia asked in astonishment, and the maximum number of posts was thirty-six.

Li Yulan said with a smile: "Didn't the army say, your salary is the same as the best person in the factory, of course it is thirty-six, just take it for you, the army won't let me do statistical work for a long time, and I will expect you to take over my shift when the time comes." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Xia nodded vigorously, thinking of the joy on her parents' faces when they saw so many apples...... I also thought of the factory director......

On this night, in various factories and workers' families...... Laughter and laughter, everyone ate the apples, and some people were reluctant to throw away the seeds and saved them, hoping to plant apple trees, although this is impossible, but they save hopes, wishes, dreams, and rushes!
