January 27, the day before the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

Today is the last day of work, Xu Dong came to the power company early in the morning, and there are two meetings in the morning, one is a meeting of the city bureau, and the other is an internal meeting of the company, and the time is relatively rushed.

When I came back from the meeting, it was already noon.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, he sent a text message on WeChat and called Xiang Xin into the office.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"The year-end bonus has been issued, 60,000 yuan per person, you will notify everyone later, let them check their accounts."

Xu Dong got straight to the point.

"Really? I thought it was canceled? ”

Xiang Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In the past year, not only the food supply is tight, but the economic situation is also not optimistic, the most direct reason is the shortage of energy, especially the lack of coal.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "The regular year-end bonus has indeed been cancelled, and the 60,000 yuan is not so much a year-end bonus, but a reward for the last meritorious service, and the two cannot be confused." ”

"So that's the case, I thought our company had a thick foundation and was not short of money!"

"Okay, the cancellation of the year-end bonus is a unified provision made above, no matter how bold Mr. Liao is, he will not dare to risk the disapproval of the world."

"It's a pity, I took 40,000 yuan last year, but I didn't expect to have a dime this year." Xiang Xin said frustratedly.

"With 60,000 yuan, are you still not satisfied?"

Xu Dong didn't have a good airway.

"Hehe, that's right, there is really meat to eat with the boss."

Xu Dong shook his head, took out a large paper bag from the drawer, and handed it over.

"Boss, what is this?"

Xiang Xin took the paper bag and said curiously.

"Tomorrow is the New Year, I'll ask your sister-in-law to pack some chicken cakes for Mengmeng, you can take it back and make a snack for the child!"

There are not many chicken cakes, only about a pound.

Xiang Xinmei opened the paper bag and took a deep breath into the bag: "It's so fragrant, thank you boss, and thank you Sister Na." ”

"Okay, it's okay, you can get out!"

Xiang Xin hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, and finally said softly:

"Boss, does the company really not pay benefits during the Spring Festival this year?"

"If you say no, you won't, I can still lie to you." Xu Dong waved his hand.

"The company is getting more and more picky."

"Don't complain, this time not only we don't, but also other units, and we don't look at the current situation, let's tide over the difficulties together."

"Alas, if you don't, you won't have it!"

Xiang Xin sighed and was about to leave the office, but when she was about to walk to the door, she suddenly turned around and asked:

"Boss, do you want meat?"

"What meat?"

"It's pork, on our family's grain card, we just sent two catties of pork yesterday, and I want to exchange pork for something else with you."

"Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Xu Dong was a little puzzled, he knew that the living conditions of Xiang Xin's family were not bad, and he should be second only to himself in the security department.

Xiang Xin pursed her mouth: "I can't afford to eat, I will feel distressed to death if I eat it, it is better to change something else, my mother often tells me that life should be a long time." ”

Actually, the real reason is very simple, the pork bought by my father-in-law is too thin, there is no fat, and it is too much to eat, so Xiang Xin has this idea.

Xu Dong nodded.

Although two pounds of pork is not much, stir-fried two dishes are still enough, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal can just come in handy.

Therefore, he was not polite, and asked directly:

"What do you want to change?"

"Sugar, dried shrimp, cooking oil, you can just give some of it."

"Is five catties of sugar enough?"

Xiang Xin nodded again and again: "Enough is enough, I will call my father-in-law immediately and ask him to send the pork over in the afternoon." ”

"I don't have any sugar on me now, so I can only bring it to you in the next year."

"No problem, any time."

The old family is too rich, and Xiang Xin is not worried about the other party at all.

……

Soon it was time to get off work, Xu Dong carried two catties of pork to Daben, the pork is the best lean meat, and it is worth it.

When I got home, Xu's mother was picking vegetables in the yard, followed by Ma Lingling and Di Jie.

"Uncle, you're back."

"Well, when did you and Xiaojie come back?"

"It's a holiday at noon, and today I sent a year-end bonus, I took Xiaojie to go shopping, and Xiaojie bought you a gift."

Ma Lingling and Di Jie, who belong to the logistics staff of the bakery, usually have holidays as usual, and if they are front-line production personnel, they are not so lucky.

Xu Dong asked casually, "How many year-end bonuses have you two paid?" ”

"I got 5,000, but because I only came for a long time, I only got 3,000." Ma Lingling replied.

Xu Dong shook his head secretly, one of the two little girls is a temporary worker, and the other has been employed for less than a month, if it weren't for the face of the mother, the year-end bonus would not be worth the two of them at all.

"Your bread factory is pretty good! My brother-in-law's company didn't issue a year-end bonus this year! ”

"Uncle, you still lack this money for a big section chief?" Ma Lingling said with a grin.

"Missing, why not? Lingling, my uncle usually treats you well, but now it's up to you to perform. ”

Xu Dong made a gesture of counting the money.

Ma Lingling hurriedly covered her pocket.

Mother Xu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You are an adult, and you are embarrassed to reach out to your juniors to ask for money?" Don't make a fuss, Nana is turning the floor in the vegetable patch, you hurry up and help her. ”

Xu Dong didn't care, handed the bag in his hand to his mother, and casually introduced:

"Got some fresh pork."

"Yo, good thing, where did you get it?"

"You don't care where you got it, it's definitely not stealing." Xu Dong replied.

Mother Xu flipped the bag in her hand: "The amount is a little small, it would be nice if I had a few more catties." ”

"I'll go to Panjiayuan tomorrow to see if I can buy a few more catties." Xu Dong echoed.

"It's hard to estimate." After Xu Ma finished speaking, she looked at Di Jie on the side: "Xiao Jie, don't you like to eat braised pork?" Grandma will make it for you tomorrow night. ”

Ji Jie blushed with shame.

A few days ago, she and Sister Lingling and Sister Jingyi, the three of them sat together and chatted, talking about their favorite dishes, she didn't even want to blurt out, but she didn't expect her aunt to hear it.

"Grandma, I also want to eat braised pork."

Ma Lingling grabbed her grandmother's arm and said coquettishly.

"Yes, all of them."

The happier the children ate, the more relieved Mama Xu became.

Xu Dong went back to the bedroom to change into a coat, and then went into the vegetable garden.

When the triplets saw their father, they immediately surrounded him.

Xu Dong pinched his sons' little faces one by one, and asked with a serious face:

"Did you help your mother?"

"Yes, I helped my mother pull the weeds." Dabao hurriedly replied.

"And me, I'll help my mother look at the water glass."

"I helped my mother crush the clods of dirt."

Xu Dong hurriedly praised: "Okay, they are all good children." ”
