On Chinese New Year's Eve, the factory spent half a day in the morning cleaning the floor, walls, windows, equipment, etc. After the pen www.biquge.info cleaned, Mr. Li held a meeting of all employees of the factory.

Mr. Li said loudly in a very emotional tone: "On behalf of Daoguang Plastic Toy Factory, I would like to thank you for your hard work in the past year. I will also do my best to promote the better development of the company and strive for good welfare for everyone. I also hope that in the coming days, all employees of the factory can unite as one, and as always, we will develop our factory together. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, our traditional Chinese festival, the Spring Festival is coming, I wish you the New Year in advance, I hope you have good health in the new year, all your wishes come true, and your family is happy, and I also wish all my colleagues' parents, lovers, children, and relatives to be healthy and healthy. Safe! I have prepared a little caution for everyone, I hope we all go smoothly, perfectly, and the days are safe and sweet! ”

There was a round of applause at the meeting. Seeing the red envelope in Mr. Li's hand, someone immediately said loudly: "Mr. Li, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red color." ”

Immediately, laughter and laughter filled the entire workshop.

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Wishing you prosperity!" Wishing you prosperity! Sun Ping, Hong Huangtian, Chen Tianlei and other employees lined up, and Mr. Li personally distributed a small red envelope to each employee in turn.

The money in the red envelope is not much, 10 yuan, but it is of great significance. Everyone received the red envelope from Mr. Li's hand, and they were as happy as if they had won the grand prize of 10,000 yuan. After everyone wished each other well, the workers took red envelopes and carried apples and sweets distributed by the administration to the dormitory. The factory is officially closed.

Li Gang spent most of his time alone in bed during the 2006 Spring Festival holiday. Most of the supervisors chose to go home during the holidays, and he originally had the idea of going home, but when the factory was on vacation, there was only a plane ticket. The price of the ticket was too expensive, and there was only a four-and-a-half-day vacation in total, so he gave up after thinking about it. Wait until April and May to take a leave of absence to go back, it was not so crowded at that time, the factory was not too busy, and you could take a few more days off.

He declined the invitations of Sun Ping, Wang Mei, Hong Huangtian and others. This Spring Festival, he plans to spend it alone. During the holiday, the factory canteen will still provide food as usual every day, and the canteen will solve the problem of eating. I don't know why, he has been in a bad mood recently, he originally thought that it might be mainly because of Wu Xiaohong's resignation, but then he felt that there seemed to be a bad feeling that he couldn't see and couldn't touch suppressing his heart, and this feeling always haunted him, but he couldn't say why, anyway, the mood just couldn't get better. He used to be joking, and he became reticent. Physically, he also lost some weight.

For this special long holiday, everyone has their own arrangements. Li Gang tried not to disturb others, and when it was time to eat, he went to the cafeteria alone, and because he got up late, he was skipped. There are not many people eating in the canteen on this festival, and there are few people in sight, and there are even fewer cadres. Every time Li Gang went, he just sat there and ate, and the aunt in the cafeteria gave him a single fried dish.

In the evening, when the firecrackers outside rang out one after another, he took out his mobile phone and called home.

He first called his wife and asked about the two children, and then asked about the physical condition of his parents.

"Have you eaten the reunion dinner?" He asked his wife.

"Not yet, still figuring it out."

"It's almost seven o'clock now, why haven't you eaten yet?" Li Gang asked, in the past, the reunion dinner was eaten at around 5 o'clock.

"Dad went out to sell bread in the morning, there are a lot of people today, and I came back late."

"It's the New Year, and I'm still going out to sell it!"

"Dad said that there are a lot of people in the vegetable market today, and the business is very good today, and it was sold for more than 200 yuan."

"Sold for more than two hundred? That's more than 400 cakes. ”

"yes. Dad went very early today, I don't know what time I left, anyway, he went out for a while when I got up. ”

Li Gang didn't speak, paused for a while, and then asked, "How is Mom?" “

"It's still the same, basically lying in bed."

"There's still medicine."

"And."

"I'm not at home, thank you!" Li Gang said softly to his wife.

"Aren't you the same? Alone outside. How do you get it for dinner? Do you still eat in the cafeteria? “

"Well, there's a guy in the cafeteria. Still others did not return home. “

"It's the New Year, you still have something good to eat outside." The wife instructed.

Originally, Li Gang wanted to say something more, but his wife Huiping suddenly said, "I won't tell you, I still have to go get vegetables, and I'll fight you later." Both children were hungry. ”

After his wife finished speaking, she hung up the phone before Li Gang could speak. Li Gang sighed in disappointment. When will I be able to have a reunion dinner with my family? If only he could be with them every day, if there is a factory like Daoguang Toys in his hometown, and he can get a salary of 3,500 to 4,000 a month, then he must let his wife, son and daughter, father and mother enjoy themselves, he is tired alone, it's okay, as a son, as a husband, as a father, he should, and he is willing. Men just have to stand up to the sky. Now that he was so far away from them alone, he couldn't help anything.

He lay on the bed, imagining the situation at home at this moment, his mother, who had been suffering from severe rheumatism for many years, might have shown her face at this time, and was helped out of the room by her father, sitting at the big red square table in the hall, the father was about busy worshiping the gods and ancestors with incense and candles, and the daughter who was in elementary school might be sensibly following her mother to wash the dishes and chopsticks, ready to go to the table to set the dishes. The youngest son, Taotao, took bubble gum or something, added a bite from time to time, and then giggled and ran around the square table in the hall and around his grandmother. His loyal and hard-working wife, Hui Ping, was busy in the kitchen, and the kitchen was already wafting with a tempting fragrance.

Li Gang's eyes are a little red, if he is also at home at this moment, it would be great!

His family was poor, but he never regretted that he was born in such a family. His ailing mother, who had been almost completely incapacitated five years earlier, was able to take care of herself in basic physical terms. My mother had a gentle temper, and even when she was lying in bed, her loving eyes were always turning around with the person in front of her. My father is not a man of words, but he is down-to-earth and honest. The Li family has relied on farmland for generations. My father's generation suffered a lot and experienced an era of not being able to eat. Now they are very satisfied with such a worry-free life. Even more fortunate that he married a good wife. Hard-working, virtuous and gentle. also gave birth to two lovely children, a son and a daughter for him and the Li family. Speaking of the two children, Li Gang's face was filled with a happy smile. Although the state advocates family planning because his father gave birth to only one child, and he gave birth to a daughter before him, according to local policy, if the first child is a daughter, the second child can be born five years later, but the second child is not allowed to have a third child, regardless of whether the second child is a boy or a girl. Fortunately, Li Gang's wife was very competitive, and the second child gave birth to a big fat boy to the Li family. Now that both children are complete, this is a great satisfaction for the Li family.

In fact, Li Gang's house, thousands of miles away, was not as Li Gang imagined at this time, and the situation was not optimistic. First of all, her mother due to the extreme cold a few days ago, the leg disease is more serious than before, and it is difficult to even get up to sit in the hall to eat a reunion dinner, his father can only let her sit on a chair, the mother's face is yellow, although she wants to smile at her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, but the annoying pain often makes her grin unconsciously, and it also makes the whole family feel extremely worried and blamed for their family's heart and soul baby Taotao, who overturned the boiling water bottle early this morning, and poured boiling water on the skin of his immature thighs, Although Huiping quickly dealt with him, his skin was already red and swollen, and the child was screaming in pain. In addition, Li Gang's father had a terrible headache in the past few days, and he was supposed to take a rest at home and go to see a doctor, but when he thought that it was going to be the New Year, there were many people rushing to the market, and business was better than usual. Of course, Li Gang had no way of knowing. Sometimes that's the case, in order not to worry relatives who are thousands of miles away, they often produce some white lies with each other. Tell people outside about bad things at home, and try not to tell people at home if there are bad things outside. No one rules this, but most people with a certain distance of space will act in this way for the sake of the other person's peace of mind.

Li Gang lay on the bed alone for a while, planning to wait for a while to estimate that everyone in the family had a good meal, and then call back. But he didn't lie down for a while, and he fell asleep in a daze. By the time he woke up, it was past 4 o'clock in the morning.

If you are in your hometown, many people will get up at this point, and the clansmen will walk around each other and say good luck to each other for the New Year. I remember when I was at home, as long as it was past 12 o'clock in the evening, every household would set off firecrackers one after another. A new year, a new day, whether it is a neighbor or a clansman, as long as they meet, they will say "Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" "The younger generation should kowtow to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, and the elders should give the younger generations New Year's money. That's a new year. Now people don't get up so early as before, but compared to usual, they still have to get up early, and the etiquette after getting up has not changed.

Li Gang couldn't sleep anymore, he took out his mobile phone, and wanted to make a call to go back to his parents to pay New Year's greetings, but after thinking about it, it was too early, so let them sleep more.
