065// The day is crying and mourning in the rain
Li Wan saw that her mother's mood had changed drastically, and asked who made her unhappy? Zhang Hongyun held back for a long time before he burst out with a sentence: It's all your father's good deeds!
Li Wan felt that the situation was serious, and there were many people, so it was inconvenient to ask more. While putting vegetables in his mother's bowl, he whispered like a child, eat first, and talk well when you have something to say. Don't make a fuss here.
Li Fei came out of the perfume house, and felt unhappy about his wife's anger. Walk into the front desk and ask the receptionist Luo Jian to see the room. Luo Jian said, basically full. Only two of the newly vacated rooms are still being cleaned.
Li Fei said that as soon as the room was put down, it was sold quickly.
Luo Jian said that a regular customer who was dining at the restaurant had already made a reservation. The occupancy rate of the rooms has now reached 110 percent. Even if it's 10 o'clock in the evening, as long as there are guests checking out, it can be sold.
Another guest came and asked if there was a room. Luo Jian replied, I'm sorry, there is no room left. Seeing the guests leave disappointed, Luo Jian said, General Manager, when can the rooms on the upper floors of our rooms be renovated?
Li Fei said that he is now rushing to work.
Luo Jian said that it would be good if he could be rushed out before the Spring Festival.
Li Fei said that it is impossible to complete all of them, and strive to complete part of them before the Spring Festival.
Luo Jian tapped on the computer keyboard and said that it was money to get out now.
Is my lunch break cleared? Li Fei asked.
Not yet.
Notify the floor to clear out.
Good. Luo Jian picked up the phone to inform the floor shift, and said to Li Fei, just now I was going to ask the floor to clean up your room, Manager Yang said that your family is here, and I am afraid that you will have to use the guest room, so I did not notify you for the time being.
What about Manager Yang? Li Fei asked.
Still here just now, Luo Jian said, now see if it's in the business center.
Yang Yue was talking to Xiao Yu, an employee of the business center. Seeing Li Fei coming in, he hurriedly stood up. Seeing that Xiao Yu ignored him, Li Fei was a little unhappy in his heart. Then he withdrew. Yang Yue also came out. Li Fei said that this metaphor is okay, but it is too indifferent.
Yang Yue said, today may be a little emotional, I am talking about her.
What's the mood?
Personal emotional matters. She wanted to resign.
Li Fei said that now all departments are short of manpower, and the Spring Festival is only a few days away, and it is difficult to recruit workers, so you have to ensure that the personnel of your department are stable.
The two stood in the lobby and talked. Li Fei looked at the perfume family, waiting for his family to come out.
There's something I've been trying to talk to you about. There is no chance. Yang Yue said.
Li Fei asked, what's the matter?
Do you think there is a problem with the salary of our hotel department manager?
What's the problem?
The same is the same as the department manager, some people take more, some people take less. Seeing that Li Fei frowned and didn't speak, Yang Yue added: This is not my opinion alone.
Yang Yue's latter sentence made Li Fei very disgusted. Not alone? Who else is talking behind the scenes? He said patiently, the size of the department is different, and the salary difference is only a few tens of yuan, what's the problem?
It's not a question of how much money, Yang Yue said, the key is unfair! It's all the work that we participate in, and we all have department managers, no matter how much, as long as it's the same, everyone guarantees that there is no opinion.
That's impossible! Li Fei said rudely.
It is impossible for everyone to only be passive and slack off! Yang Yue said.
Whoever is passive and slacks off, I will take him out! Li Fei was a little angry.
Li Fei knows his own problem - he is prone to anger and anger. It's like a balloon that doesn't blow up, it often bursts after only a few inflations. Later, he regretted it, regretting that he shouldn't have been so impulsive. It's like that at home, and it's true in stores. Especially for the family. What he thinks is fair, Yang Yue thinks it's unfair. The angle is different, and the conclusion is certainly different. It could have been discussed in a calm and calm manner.
It wasn't until a few years later that Li Fei learned that the salary system of all foreign-funded hotels was also divided into several levels for department managers. If you had known these evidences, the reason should be easier to explain. These department managers are not convinced of anything, just how to do the cultural holiday hotel.
Zhang Hongyun ignored Li Fei all the way. When he returned home and put the two children to sleep, Li Fei said that even if the prisoner was sentenced, there should be a reason. Is there anything you said you couldn't do?
Zhang Hongyun said, let me ask you, is the cashier's Bai Yu Bai Lu's sister?
I guess so. When Li Fei heard that it was for this matter, his heart let go a little.
Did you recruit her in? Zhang Hongyun asked.
Why did I recruit her? The hotel recruited, she went to apply, and everything was handled by the personnel department. I only found out after she went to work. Li Fei lied.
When Zhang Hongyun heard Li Fei say this, he felt a little better. She didn't say hello to you?
She is in good condition, and she still needs to beg me to say hello. As soon as the words came out, Li Fei felt that he had lost his words.
You tell me what are her conditions? Zhang Hongyun really grabbed it and asked repeatedly. Seeing that Li Fei didn't speak, he said with an old heart, just like her sister, a pair of stealing eyes!
Hearing Zhang Hongyun talk about others so viciously, Li Fei was very disgusted. Worried about setting himself on fire, he had to remain silent. He heard Zhang Hongyun saying, let me tell you, whether you recruited her or not, you and I will get her away!
Li Fei muttered: No one else has messed with you, why do you have to get others away?
I can't see her! Zhang Hongyun said, I'll talk about it here today, if you don't get her away for a day, this family will not be at peace for a day!
Oh, my God! Again, there is no peace.
Last time for He Wenrui, the couple almost divorced. At that time, the hotel had not yet opened. After Li Fei took a lunch break at home at noon, he was about to go out with a cart. I heard Zhang Hongyun giving him an ultimatum: If we don't get He Wenrui away, we will divorce!
Li Fei was very annoyed and replied: Leave and leave!
Zhang Hongyun originally said it casually, but he didn't want Li Fei to agree without thinking. It must have been premeditated and ready to divorce him. It's just that I'm still in the dark. She later told Li Fei that she was really heartbroken at that time.
Zhang Hongyun didn't go to class anymore, and pulled Li Fei's bicycle to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Li insisted that she get in the car, but she refused to take his car. The two of them just pushed the car one after the other on the road. All the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau. The formalities went smoothly, the divorce certificate was filled out, and the money was just waiting to be paid.
Li Fei couldn't remember clearly, whether it was a few yuan or dozens of yuan. People charge the cost of work. Li Fei touched his body, but he didn't have a penny on his body. Zhang Hongyun searched for it on himself, but he didn't find a penny. As a result, the divorce certificate was not obtained. I told them to come back tomorrow, so I went to my own class.
When he went to work the next morning, Zhang Hongyun still mentioned it. Don't mention that she has no face. Li Fei just smiled and didn't reply. Later, as soon as the anger passed, the matter was over.
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when Li Fei pushed the car out, his wife said some ugly things again. Although he didn't name names, he knew who she was scolding.
When Li Fei went out, he said, if you don't make people comfortable during the New Year, I won't come back today. Li Fei's words were light and heavy. According to Zhang Hongyun's usual temper, she will say that if she doesn't come back, she won't come back, who can you scare! However, at the moment of glaring at Li Fei, she saw her husband's extremely painful eyes. Zhang Hongyun, who had never known how to make people, suddenly relented.
Li Fei saw that Zhang Hongyun shut up, and said to his daughter Li Wan, you help your mother cook at home. Dad came back at about one o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Hongyun said to Li Wan, you asked him to bring the pair back. Li Wan rushed out of the door: Dad, Mom said that you remember to bring the pair back!
Li Fei turned around and said, I know. As soon as I pedaled on the bicycle, I heard Li Wan shouting: I still sell a few New Year's pictures! Li Rang is also shouting: There is also a cupola! Li Fei, who had already boarded the bicycle, did not look back, but just looked at the sky and shouted: Okay!
In the first year of the hotel's reunion dinner, fifty or sixty tables were booked. Much better than expected. Reservations are available from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Originally, someone wanted to book after six o'clock, Hua Min suggested that it should not be too late, so that employees could go home before eight o'clock and spend the New Year with their families.
The two North African students invited in Wuhan originally planned to let them do singing and dancing performances, but due to the lack of time for the guests to eat and their unprofessional standards, they changed to disguise themselves as the God of Wealth. Give ingots to the guests who have a reunion dinner.
The ingots were also bought from Hanzheng Street. There are two types: gold and silver. Although it is fake, it looks more beautiful than the real thing. The foreign god of wealth sends fake ingots, which is nondescript. It's the children who are very novel, and they are having fun around the two foreigners. The two international students are also happy, in the traditional festival of the Spring Festival, they can go deep into the circle of Chinese, eat well, live and have fun and earn extra money.
Li Fei came to the staff canteen and asked the chef supervisor Lao Huang about the dishes of the day. Lao Huang said that today's dishes are very rich.
Li Fei asked, did you make tamales?
Lao Huang said, no.
Manager Wang did not convey the spirit of the management meeting?
Conveyed. But there is no steamer.
What about the steamer?
The steamers were all taken away from the front kitchen. It turns out that we want to use their steamed vegetables.
Li Fei was a little annoyed, Lao Huang, I will give you a death order today, no matter what you think, the problem of steamed meat must be implemented! Seeing that Lao Huang was stunned, he added: How can you not eat steamed pork during the New Year?
Lao Huang touched his head and said that he had to borrow it from other restaurants. This is really an old saying.
What words?
Lao Huang said with a smile, the Chinese New Year's Eve borrowed coarse skin (air sieve for steaming vegetables)!
Li Fei left the hotel at half past twelve. When I walked down the street, I found that all the shops were closed. The sky is overcast, and the usually noisy and crowded street is very quiet at the moment. The sound of firecrackers came and went in all directions, urging passers-by in a hurry.
couldn't buy New Year's paintings and couplets, Li Fei became anxious. He pedaled as fast as he could, toward the western end. At the three-way intersection at the west end, I saw an old gentleman selling handwritten couplets. I didn't ask about the price, I asked for two couplets. One for the main door and one for the back door. On the way home, Li Fei blamed himself very much. I only brought home two couplets, and I was going to disappoint the children. Fortunately, at the commissary at the mouth of the alley, he bought a whip and a cupola.
After the New Year's dinner, Li Fei looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Be prepared to take a lunch break. Zhang Hongyun sent the two children outside to play. Li Rang did not follow. Li Wan whispered to Li Rang that her mother wouldn't let us disturb my father for a nap.
In less than half an hour, Li Fei woke up. I have something in my heart, and I don't dare to sleep more. At this time of year, he has to go to the grave of his deceased relatives according to the custom taught to him by his father as a child. At this time, there were no graves, only the two urns of the parents were in the storage room of the funeral home.
In previous years, he always took his two children with him, so that they could do their filial piety for their grandparents; It also made the two old men who have spirits in the sky happy and happy. But this year is different, after he goes to worship his ancestors, he has to go directly to the hotel to work. He told Li Wan and Li Rang, today Dad went to burn incense for grandparents alone, and the two of you were at home.
When Li Wan and Li Rang heard this, they both said loudly that they couldn't do it. We're going!
In the dusty, cramped and dimly lit ashes storage room, Li Fei put a stool at his feet and removed his father's and mother's urns from two different shelves. Then carry them outdoors to a flower bed where incense can be burned and whipped.
He never let his two children into the columbarium. I'm afraid that the space full of ghosts will scare the child. Niche in the urn are photographs of two elderly people. The eyes in the photo look at him and his two children.
Two children scramble to light incense and burn paper for their grandparents. The green smoke from the burning incense paper rose into the air, blending into the endless gray of the sky with the thoughts of future generations. Li Fei asked Li Wan and Li Rang to stand up and lead them to make a gesture for their grandparents; Set off firecrackers for grandparents.
On the way home, Li Rang sat in front and Li Wan sat in the back. Li Fei pedaled his phoenix bicycle vigorously against the north wind. Tears poured out, hanging two lines of cold feeling on his face. Daughter Li Wan said, Dad, it's raining.
Yes, if there is love in the sky, it will rain.
On that day, the sky was crying and mourning in the rain. Bird's-eye view: There is a small river on the ground; There is a small town on the south bank of the Little River; There is a small gate at the east end of the town; The sluice is connected to a small ditch; A small boat in the shape of willow leaves is moored in a small ditch. Several people the size of ants moved various items from a house in the town and moved slowly and clumsily towards the boat. Back and forth. Trip after trip.
These ant-like people are none other than Li Fei's family. Under the tide of "we also have two hands, and we don't eat idle meals in the city", as small town residents, they can't help themselves; had to leave the town where generations had lived; He was sent to the countryside in the vast world.
Uncle Cousin propped up a borrowed boat. The boat carried the family and their belongings in the countryside; It also carries their heavy humiliation. From the moment the list was announced, they became an inferior category. Whether they are sympathetic or looked down upon, they can't hold their heads up.
They weren't originally idle eaters. A wooden boat that my father used to make a living to run and transport was cut off by capitalism; The town-run photo studio where he apprenticed was also closed because his master complained about his historical problems.
They lived in a relative's house in the countryside. It was a three-room tiled house facing north and south. The kitchen house is connected to the right side of the front of the main house. On both sides of the main house is a room, in the middle is a hall house, and at the back of the hall is a cover for miscellaneous items. There is a back door next to the sleeve.
Relatives have a family of five. The daughter-in-law and grandson live in the west room; The two elders of the proprietor live in the east room. After Li Fei's family went, a small room was separated at the back of the east room, which was connected to the condom as a shelter for Li Fei's family of three. The mother was afraid that her son would be wronged, so she let him live in the inner room, and she and his father lived in a condom. There were no windows in the small room and the suit, so Li Fei wanted to open a small window on the back wall that looked like his own room, which made his mother very embarrassed. After all, it's not your own house. She spoke well to the owner, and reluctantly got their consent.
The fatigue of moving has left a family that has never done physical work to pieces. They lay down early. Lie in strange darkness. The mother, who had endured it for a day, cried sadly. Crying as silently as night. She couldn't let anyone else hear, let alone let her son hear.
She was originally sick, and a pair of small feet that she had practiced on the road for a day were burning at the moment. She can endure all these physical pains, the only thing that makes her unbearable is the heartache for her son. The father leaned on the head of the bed and smoked. The cigarette butt is extinguished. Occasionally, he let out a thunderous sigh.
Li Fei looked at the window in a daze for a long time. The little light left was still rapidly fading away from him. It's like a past away from him. The window grew darker and darker, as dark as a pile of snow in the night. His heart swam to the window with the darkness that filled the room, squeezing a pile of memories there.
the town that gave birth to him and raised him; that home full of childhood memories; those playmates who get along day and night; Those once carefree times. There are a thousand kinds of reluctance in his heart; All kinds of affection. He went mad and wondered that though the world still existed, it would come back tomorrow; And the past, which I passed away categorically, is gone forever.
A few months later, he was recruited into the city; A few years later, his beleaguered parents were able to return to the town. But he never understood what he was doing against people's will.
After Li Fei returned to the hotel, he did not go directly to the business place as usual. Instead, come to the office first. He was coming to get the red envelope. These little red envelopes are for employees who work overtime during the Spring Festival. In order to be happy and auspicious.
Song Bo was the only one in the entire office. Li Fei called him to his office and sat down, took out a red envelope from the drawer and handed it to him.
Thank you for your hard work over the past year. Happy New Year!
Song Bo knew that the small red envelopes prepared by the hotel for employees were divided into three levels: 20 yuan, 10 yuan, and 5 yuan, which were distributed by the general manager, department manager and supervisor. And what he is holding in his hand now is a red envelope with weight and thickness. He said with silent joy: Thank you, general manager!
Song Bo said, I just went to various departments to go around, and other departments are still normal, but the management department is a little small.
What's the situation?
A dishwasher named Liu Chunzhi was crying, and Master Shen was trying to persuade her.
Do you know why?
Song Bo said that Master Shen said that there was a conflict in her family. But he looked at me again, as if there was something hidden and inconvenient to say. Later, you can ask Master Shen.
