Chapter 659: Entering Beijing

After presiding over the shift meeting in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Tang Zhenglin pulled Xiao Yuanhang to the operation canteen to eat dumplings, Xiao Yuanhang didn't want to go, but when he thought that there was nothing to eat when he went home so early, he went to the operation canteen to deal with it, and after working time, the members of the station leadership team touched their heads and discussed the matters during the festival, and there was nothing to do, and he drove home.

Today's sister and brother-in-law are resting, yesterday I said that I would go to my parents' house to make dumplings together, wrap the dumplings during the day, and watch the Spring Festival party at night, back home, my sister and brother-in-law have arrived, my sister and mother Bai Shuxian are cleaning up fish and meat in the kitchen, preparing today's noon meal, brother-in-law is chopping dumpling stuffing in the kitchen, and his father Xiao Qiliang is picking up soaked fungus in the house, Xiao Qiliang has a special love for fungus, and he can't eat enough, therefore, the family has a perennial reserve of dried fungus, You can cook and eat at any time.

Today's fungus is Zhao Bingnan in the mountains for Xiao Yuanhang to get pure wild mountain fungus, are bought in the hands of mountain catchers in Changbai Mountain, a small pinch of dry fungus can make a large bowl, and the taste is particularly good, Xiao Qiliang has not been reluctant to eat, the New Year only took it out, last night on the soak, in the morning to see a small pot full of hair, a water edge, fleshy, like a black flower, special love.

Xiao Yuanhang put down the bag and sat down to help his father pick the fungus, but Xiao Qiliang waved his hand and drove to the side, the job of picking the fungus is a kind of enjoyment for Xiao Qiliang, never let the family reach out, looking at Xiao Yuanhang's embarrassed expression, Xiao Qiliang said: "Xiaohang, you go to the kitchen to help your brother-in-law chop the dumpling filling, don't care about me, I will finish this work in a while." ”

Chopping dumpling stuffing is a kung fu job, it must be fine, Xiao Yuanhang's family never buys the meat stuffing ground out of the meat grinder, but buys the best fine meat and chops the stuffing by himself. Because the meat grinder crushed the meat at the same time due to the high pressure. It also destroys the internal tissue of the meat, and after such a meat filling is wrapped in dumplings, the taste is soft and unpalatable.

This year, Xiao Qiliang prepared 10 catties of lean meat to prepare for chopping dumpling filling, due to the size of the cutting board, he could only chop two or three catties of meat at a time, and his sister and brother-in-law had just arrived. Brother-in-law Zhang Guoxin's chopping is the first wave.

Xiao Yuanhang went to the kitchen and took out the spare cutting board at home, cut off about 3 catties of lean meat and moved it to the dining room together with the cutting board, because the kitchen was too small, the mother and the three of them couldn't turn around in the kitchen. If he squeezes in again, everyone will not be able to work.

The meat filling and vegetable filling were chopped out and reconciled, and my sister Xiao Dongmei over there also brought the awakened noodles to the restaurant, and her mother Bai Shuxian was preparing the noon meal in the kitchen, and the other 4 people began to make dumplings around the table in the restaurant. At noon, when Bai Shuxian finished the meal, the dumplings here were also finished, and they wrapped out the Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings and the fifth day of the first year of the year today.

Since Xiao Yuanhang had to preside over the shift meeting in the evening, he had to comfort the top workers in the first half of the night, and he couldn't drink alcohol at dinner. Therefore, the reunion package was arranged at noon, Xiao Qiliang opened a bottle of Moutai, and the family of five sat around the dining table and ate it together. Brother-in-law Zhang Guoxin has been an accountant since he went to the workshop. Basically, he is at home every day, and rarely goes out, which makes him very happy, and frequently raises his glass and drinks with Xiao Yuanhang. As a result, one bottle of Moutai was not enough to drink, and another bottle was opened.

Xiao Yuanhang slept beautifully all afternoon. In the evening, after eating at home, I went to the unit, and the daily shift of the railway transport unit will be thunderous, whether it is a weekly service, or a New Year's holiday, it must be opened every day, and it has never been interrupted. After the evening shift meeting, Xiao Yuanhang first accompanied the stationmaster Zhou Jianguo and party secretary Jin Xiangdong to the passenger workshop and cargo workshop to express condolences to the workers on the top shift tonight, and the condolences were a pack of melon seeds and sugar for each team, as well as a pack of Phoenix brand cigarettes.

The operation workshop is arranged at the end, because the surface of the transportation workshop is larger, unlike the passenger workshop and the cargo loading workshop, it takes a long time to visit and condole, one tune, two tunes, four tunes, five tunes, operation room, signal building, in addition to the three tunes of the two fields, Xiao Yuanhang accompanied the stationmaster and the secretary to go one place at a time, and the operation room is also divided into the duty officer room, the station adjustment room, the cargo adjustment room, the commodity inspection room, the infrared duty room, the vehicle number room, the statistics room, and the power section station report office, After going, you can't throw down the condolences and leave, you have to talk to the staff to understand the situation, and this big circle will come down to 10 o'clock in the evening.

After sending off the stationmaster Zhou Jianguo and the party secretary Jin Xiangdong, Xiao Yuanhang took Tang Zhenglin, director of the operation workshop, and Li Qiang, Tan Yingjun, deputy directors, to drive to the second field, and condolences to the members of the third and central groups who were working in the second field, and by the way visited the inspectors and public security personnel on duty in the second field, and it was almost 11 o'clock when he returned to the operation workshop, and the sound of firecrackers to welcome the New Year had sounded intermittently on the street.

At this time, the staff canteen of the operation workshop has cooked the dumplings at the end of the year, packed them in plastic bags, and then packed them into incubators, and began to send them to one team after another. Last year, Xiao Yuanhang ate Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings with everyone in the first adjustment area, and this year he went to the second adjustment area, and other cadres in the operation workshop went to the first adjustment area, the fourth adjustment area, the fifth adjustment area, the operation room, the signal building, and the third adjustment area of the second field.

Xiao Yuanhang and the personnel who delivered dumplings in the operation workshop rushed to the second adjustment area together, at this time, the shunting machine in the second adjustment area had stopped the wheel, the driver, the deputy driver and the stoker were in the No. 2 trigger room and the personnel of the shunting group were talking and laughing and smoking cigarettes, eating melon seeds and sugar, seeing Xiao Yuanhang and the personnel who delivered the dumplings into the house, they cheered.

Xiao Yuanhang let the head of the shunting area and the head of the shunting organization people set off firecrackers first, and the operation workshop sold firecrackers to the team on the top shift of the New Year, which was 5000 rings and electric cannons and 10 "two kicks", the electric cannons had already been hung on the edge of the canopy outside the trigger room, and several young people of the shunting group took the "two kicks" out of the trigger room, first lit the electric light cannon, and then several people set off the "two kicks" separately, and the sound of firecrackers suddenly resounded in the station.

Symbolically ate a few dumplings with everyone, Xiao Yuanhang gave everyone an early year, and then returned to the operation room, the operation room had already eaten dumplings at this time, Xiao Yuanhang and Tang Zhenglin, who was eating dumplings with everyone in the operation room, said hello, and drove home.

It's only 5 minutes before 12 o'clock when I get home, my sister and brother-in-law are there, and the dumplings have been cooked and I'm waiting for him to come back, Xiao Yuanhang took off his coat, and took the prepared firecrackers downstairs with his brother-in-law, and set them off with his brother-in-law at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night......

Since there was no drinking at night, when eating New Year's dumplings, brother-in-law Zhang Guoxin had to drink with Xiao Yuanhang, and his sister Xiao Dongmei went to the kitchen to heat a few dishes for them, and his father Xiao Qiliang was also interested when he saw it, and drank it with them on the table, and in less than half an hour, a bottle of 53 degrees of Wuliangye was eliminated by three people.

Brother-in-law Zhang Guoxin still wanted to drink, but was stopped by Xiao Dongmei, she said: "Guoxin, Xiaohang has to get up early tomorrow morning to preside over the shift meeting, and he has to be on duty in the unit for a day. ”

Mother Bai Shuxian didn't want his father Xiao Qiliang to drink too much wine, although his liver disease was controlled, but the wine hurt the liver the most, Xiao Qiliang had already drunk more than half a catty of Baihe at noon today, and drank more than three taels in the middle of the night, and he had already been overdosed, so he also stepped forward to stop it.

After everyone ate a few dumplings again, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was over, my sister and brother-in-law went home together, and Xiao Yuanhang went back to his cabin to sleep.

After presiding over the morning shift meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after the team on the day of duty took over today, Xiao Yuanhang began to visit everyone in various workshops and teams, and the team on duty on the first day of the Lunar New Year also had a condolence gift, but there were no free dumplings. Xiao Yuanhang, as the leader of the station, not only the operation workshop, but also the passenger workshop and the cargo loading workshop, he also had to visit and condole.

In the afternoon, I slept in the lounge, and in the evening, I began to visit the team on night duty, and I was busy until almost 12 o'clock before I came back to rest. Fortunately, on the day he was on duty, the whole station was very stable in all aspects, safe and sound, and there were no emergencies, which can be regarded as a safe year.

On the second and third days of junior high school, Xiao Yuanhang was busy attending the banquet of the nut company and the stationery factory, Du Juan and Fluttershy arrived home at noon on the second day of junior high school, Xiao Yuanhang came back in the evening to see them, and Xiao Yuanhang went directly to Uncle Xiao to greet the New Year, and Xiao Yuanhang wrapped her with a red envelope of 1,000 yuan, which made Fluttershy very happy.

Du Juan and Xiao Yuanhang said that their parents wanted to see him in person to thank him, she hoped that Xiao Yuanhang must take time to go there, Xiao Yuanhang thought that he would enter Beijing at noon on the fourth day of the new year, and he could come back at the earliest eighth day of the new year, and he would not be able to do it in the past few days, so he told Du Juan, and waited for a day or so to go over with Chen Dong and Zhang Jian.

Since returning from Japan, Xiao Yuanhang has not seen Cheng Lu, during this period only a few phone calls, telling her the news that she has made a lot of money investing in Japan, Cheng Lu learned that she has now become tens of millions of riches, and she has never been able to believe it, because the passbook has always been in Xiao Yuanhang's hands, and there is no chance to hand it over to her.

As soon as the Spring Festival arrived, the airline was also busy, and Cheng Lu's cabin crew worked overtime to fly, and it turned out that the crew could rest for three days after returning from a trip, but when it came to the Spring Festival, they could only rest for less than two days. Xiao Yuanhang talked to her on the phone a few years ago, and learned that she arrived home on the morning of the fifth day of the new year, and had to fly to the East China Sea at noon on the sixth day of the new year, so he decided to take the train to the capital at noon on the fourth day of the new year, and he could stay with Cheng Lu for a day on the fifth day of the new year.
