Chapter 14 Chapter 56 Strength
When the meeting time came the next day, Lotus walked into the conference room, put down the pen and notebook in her hand and said:
"After this snow disaster, it reflects that in many places, we are not fast enough to respond to sudden changes, and we have not fully prepared emergency measures and plans, and we have not added prevention and control at ordinary times, so the content of today's meeting is how to prevent and control the sudden disaster, so as to prevent it before it happens, and reduce the damage to the limit. In order to avoid these problems, the old factory can not store too many things, to avoid sudden situations can not be transferred, the most important things and the most important and bulky things can not be placed in the old plant, to avoid the transfer. All the employees who live here are concentrated in the back factory, including our office building. Supermarkets should not store too many goods, especially food products that are prone to mold and moisture. Here, due to the industrial park, we have to clean up the ditch that goes down the hill in front. Remove all obstacles. Du Fei took a few people to clean up this ditch six kilometers away. How about you take a look? “
"Okay, agreed." Everyone replied.
So after the meeting, everyone began to start their work in the future, and the lotus also left the conference room and returned to the office, sitting on the office chair, ready to turn on the computer, and suddenly remembered that there were no days before the New Year, and they still had to prepare a little New Year's thing! I have to go back to take care of the housework, and I must have not lived at home for a long time. I don't know when Wang Zhong and their three siblings will have a holiday, and I forgot to ask how the order was completed on the company's side? Do I need to take a later holiday, and how? And after a year of hard work, we also have to summarize what aspects have been successful? What was unsuccessful? Where is ripe? What is immature? How will the company develop next year? How? In the face of the impact of the ever-changing social reality and the continuous improvement of the concept of commodity consumption, how can we deal with the competition of market consumption? How do we cope with the development and growth of the company under the new situation and policies? should all have a clear line of thought.
Forget it, let's tidy up the house first, and then let's do what should be prepared for the New Year! Although there is no difference between men and women, women still have to be familiar with a little housework, although men and women are equal, this is only a reflection of status. And the natural male and female personalities, hobbies, and interests are still a little different. That Wang Zhongyu is a dominant woman, so she has to take on the responsibility of a woman.
Early the next morning, the lotus washed her face and brushed her teeth.
Then I got in the car and returned home, opened the door and walked into the house, the home is still the original home, nothing has changed, but there is no one living for a long time, there is always a musty smell, plus the rat activity is rampant, it is really a bit unusual, and the table is also a lot of rat feces. There are also several rat nests and large bags of rat cubs in the cupboard. You say it's not cleaned up, like words? Lotus asked Zhao Rui to drive the car back to the factory first. I came to pick myself up after work in the afternoon, so the lotus picked up the broom and began to sweep the floor first, she swept the house inside and outside, and then washed and dried those tables, stools, dishes and chopsticks with water, and sorted out all the things that should be sorted out, and the ones that should be washed were also washed, and the things that should be cleaned were cleaned, and finally the lotus changed all the things on the bed, even the bedding grass on the bed was changed, and the musty smell was so big that it choked people, it was really uncomfortable, and the rat nest, mouse droppings, rat cubs and small bags, and dead mice, Wait, anyway, there is a rotten smell, which is really unbearable, and in the afternoon, it was finally completed after a whole day. Lotus looked at it again, then locked the door, Zhao Rui's car also came, and Lotus got into the car and returned to the factory.
The Spring Festival is approaching, Wang Zhongyu has also gone home for two days, and he has also taken his father back to the house, and Lotus is also busy arranging the work in the factory and the necessary affairs during the holiday. Wang Zhonggang and Wang Zhongmei haven't come back yet, Lotus just entered the house with the front foot, Wang Zhonggang and Wang Zhongmei also entered the house, Lotus asked them if they had eaten? Wang Zhongmei replied that the meal was eaten, and then before the things were put down, they began to count Wang Zhonggang:
"Sister Lotus, you said that there is such a person, I have already asked him to book tickets in advance, and he said that I am so panicked? But when the ticket was gone, I had to buy twenty-seven, and he asked me to wait for him, so we waited for him to buy a ticket when he arrived in the provincial capital, so it was so late, fortunately, the road was also changed, if it was the old road before, I am afraid that I would have to live in the county seat for one night! “
"Okay, okay, don't count your brother, people have ten mistakes, horses have stumbled, the last time I was a traitor, I found a rape (here is the meaning of cleverness, local language) It's good to come back. I'll cook some noodles for you first. Lotus said.
So the lotus gave Wang Zhonggang, and Wang Zhongmei and the two siblings ordered a small bowl of noodles and handed it to the two siblings and said;
"Let's all rest early today, get up early tomorrow, there are still many things to do! The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve. There's a lot more to prepare! “
"Okay, sister." The two siblings replied together.
Wang Zhonggang and Wang Zhongmei have always listened to the lotus, and in their eyes, what the lotus said is right, and the arrangements must be completed. At this time, Wang Zhongyu bought a lot of things for the New Year in the supermarket and came back, and now it is much more convenient to do some ordinary small things, and the price is the same as the price of things in the county supermarket. Why do the villagers need to go to the county seat? Lotus arranges for supermarket employees to go to work until the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, and they have to go to work on the second day of the first month, because the villagers want to buy things to pay New Year's greetings.
As soon as Wang Zhongyu came back, he was busy arranging things for the New Year, and Lotus was busy doing what he had to do. What kind of meat! Rice, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, handsome, green onions, salt, etc., everyone will rest after a while.
The next day, everyone got up early in the morning, and the two brothers, Wang Zhongyu and Wang Zhonggang, hung up the lantern that Wang Zhongyu had bought, and there were light bulbs hanging in the lantern. Then all the doors were affixed with the God of Wealth and couplets. Even Wang Zhongyu's father is not idle, and he is happy, this is the first year in the memory of the whole family that is a little decent and a little atmospheric. The whole family was filled with joy! Wang Zhongmei helped the lotus cook rice and cook vegetables together. And she was very happy, while she was helping out with this and that, she was jumping up and down, and her mouth was constantly humming a small tune. Everything is in progress, things are over, this year is still satisfied, and the lights are colorful, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the lotus flowers also make the dishes colorful, although it is not a Manchu Han full banquet, but it is also rich enough, there are shrimp, fish, and meat. Let's wait for tomorrow to taste this sumptuous dinner!
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, every household in this big mountain village is brightly lit, illuminating the entire mountain as if it were daytime, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve night is much more lively than before, changing all the tranquility of the past, this excitement comes from the change of the mountain village, because every family has a few surplus money a year, and the easing of the economy makes people feel much happier. Not to mention how many people go to work in a family. There are a few families who have shared the corresponding land dividends, which is the icing on the cake, and the villagers have poured all their joy into the fireworks and firecrackers, which also means that this year's considerable harvest is also expressed. From the early morning, in the constant crackling of firecrackers, to the evening countless fireworks rose into the sky and scattered back to the earth, which was never seen before. Wang is loyal to his family, he has sold a lot, and he wants to make up for everything before. Lotus also seemed very happy, since she was a child, she and Wang Zhongyu have been fighting against fate together. I hope that all the past will not be repeated, after a burst of fireworks, Wang Zhonggang and Wang Zhongmei left quickly, each returned to their own rooms, leaving all the space to the world of lotus and Wang Zhongyu, so that the night of Chinese New Year's Eve gave them the baptism of the new year. Don't bother, let them try their best to relax, stay in such a night more, and bathe in a wide embrace more warmly. Lingering to the fullest, whispering like an insect. Spread the fragrance of love!
The lotus lies in Wang Zhongyu's arms, closes his eyes and enjoys the bath of love, he doesn't want to leave for a long time, how comfortable it is to lie in Wang Zhongyu's arms forever, Wang Zhongyu strokes the black hair on the lotus's forehead, lowers his lips, and the lotus also delivers a delicate small mouth of fragrance, the two mouths are invisibly and tightly combined, without a trace of subtle gaps. It was like this to enjoy such a beautiful night, as if such a night belonged to the two of them, specially prepared for the two of them, but at this moment, another burst of firecrackers rang out, waking the two of them from the sweetness of love. This is a folk custom, called "also (here is the meaning of please) the four official lord and the circle of the door of the emperor", this also (here is the meaning of please) the four official lord is very particular: a small table to put a piece of square meat, a piece of square tofu, incense candles, money paper, wine glasses, etc., in addition, there must be a kitchen knife, this kitchen knife must not be mistaken, put all the food things in place, and then to the door, the kitchen knife up, pay attention to the knife handle inward, indicating that please four officials God of Wealth (Zhao Minggong, Guan Yu, Bigan, Fan Li) and all the immortals into the house to live idle for half a month, to the Lantern Festival and then invited out, at this time everything has not changed, that is, the knife handle to the outside said that these big and small immortals are invited to go out, each doing its own thing, the four officials and the master also began to be busy wandering around, until a year to come back. Here, there is also a small episode of "also (please) the four official masters" is to bring together "also (please) the Circle Gate Emperor", which is an indispensable link, to please the Circle Gate Emperor, to take away the kitchen knife, and then these things are moved to the front of the circle door intact, please bless the animals in the coming year without accidents, eat fast and grow smoothly. In fact, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant. The sound of firecrackers woke up Wang Zhongyu and Lotus, so Lotus said:
"Let's get married!"
"Okay, then you say, it's time to give you a name, choose a date, either "March 8" Women's Day, or "May Fourth" Youth Day, or October "National Day". Wang Zhongyu replied softly.
"Okay, I think "National Day" and "Army Day" are okay, can you take a look? Lotus said.
"Okay. That way we also have time to prepare what to prepare. Yes, then Army Day, right? Wang Zhong said impatiently.
Tonight is the last night of the year, and tomorrow is the beginning of a new day. After Wang Zhongyu lingered with the lotus flowers for a while, a gust of evening breeze blew, and he felt a little chilly, coupled with the sound of firecrackers one after another. makes the lingering between the two so tasteless. Then the two of them returned to the house holding hands.
Nothing anyway? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people of the mountains eat glutinous rice balls, and people are not playing cards, or talking and laughing, in short, there can be no sadness. Just spend a happy day, the first day of the new year is mainly reserved for women, women can go back to their parents' homes and gather with their mothers' families. Enjoy the joy of the Spring Festival Gala. The rest of the people don't start visiting relatives and friends until the second year of junior high school. "The grass rises in February, it is the time to pay New Year's greetings", so there are also New Year's greetings in February, but Wang Zhongyu and Lotus got up early in the morning to eat rice balls, and then walked to their own house, when they walked to the door of the house. My father was inviting the eighteenth generation of my ancestors to eat rice balls, and when he saw that Lotus and Wang Zhongyu were coming, he was busy calling his wife:
"The child, her mother, the lotus flowers are here."
"Dad, what are you busy with! Not a good rest? Lotus said.
Wang Zhongyu went into the house and called his mother, then put the things he brought on the table, and sat by the wind stove, and his mother brought some peanuts and melon seeds, and nagged:
"Hua'er, if you don't go into the house to accompany Zhong, what are you doing outside? Loyal, why haven't you been home for half a year? Work is so busy! Come home often! There's an old man at home! “
"Mom, I know, but I'm really too busy, I was going to come back to see when I settled down in Tuping District, but I just straightened out my work in Tuping District, and transferred me to Taibai District as secretary, and now the work in Taibai District has been straightened out, and I was transferred to Hot Spring District as secretary. I'll go to the hot spring area after reporting next year. It's up to next year. Wang Zhongyu said.
"Loyal, your parents are old, you are all busy with work all day, you have to have a home, can't you be old like this? Look at Lotus, the company's affairs are already busy enough, and I went to get a director, and my health is not very good. Whatever kind of food she is engaged in, and what project she will contract, when do you say she will finish the work. You see, at the same age as you, the children are already older, and we don't care about this, but we have to start a family! Do we need to see our grandchildren, too? The lotus's mother fell for a while.
"Mom, what are you talking about? We all know that there are some things that "people can't help themselves". Just say a few words! Lotus said.
"Okay, I won't say it, can't you shut up? It's up to you to delay. Lotus's mother said.
"You all don't have to say a word, you should say something happy today." Lotus's father also came into the house to say.
At this time, Lotus's mother also brought the dishes, and Lotus's father brought a small bottle of wine, and Lotus asked his father to take it back. Then a voice outside said:
"If they don't drink, we'll drink!"
Then two people walked in, it was Zhang Yunzhong and Zheng Haidong, this was said by Zhang Yunzhong, originally the lotus was to ask both of them to come to the house for the Spring Festival, but the two did not come, saying that the doorman on duty in the factory was not accompanied, such a large factory, simply they accompanied the doorman in the factory for the New Year, so they were in the factory. What are the two of them doing at this time?
Zhang Yunzhong and Zheng Haidong put down the gifts in their hands and said, "Uncle, we don't often come to see you when you're sick, the factory is very busy, Sister Lotus knows it, let's make it up today!" We went to the grave of the old man, so we came out by the way to see how the old man's physical condition was recovering. “
"It's all right, thanks to you guys for thinking so well." Lotus father said.
Then Zhang Yunzhong took the wine bottle and said, "Uncle doesn't drink it, let's accompany Brother Zhong to drink two taels!" Won't you drink less if you are loyal to your brother? “
"There, I don't drink much. In your eyes, everyone who does what we do can drink, right? Then you are very wrong, and I will disappoint you. However, I have also been back for more than half a year, and we have not seen each other, so it is okay to drink a small bit, but not too much, to express my guilt, I have seen a short time. Wang Zhongyu said.
Then Wang Zhongyu took the wine glass, gave each of them a glass, and said, "We will express this cup." “
Zhang Yunzhong said: "You said that just now, you can't do that, we won't talk about things that we don't know today, if you want to say it, only my knowledge is short." ”
In this way, everyone passed the time today in talking and laughing.
On the sixth day of the first month, it is the day when the company resumes work, and Wang Zhong goes to work on the eighth day of the first month, and the company's employees also go to work on the eighth day of the first month, Wang Zhongyu and Lotus arrived in the factory very early. Time keeps turning back, in a blink of an eye the first month has gone, February has passed, March has arrived, spring comes, the rain will be more, lotus and Wang Zhongyu will be separated, although not far away from a long time, but everyone is running for work, away from more and less. Wang Zhongyu is also going to report to the hot spring area, this time I will be busy for a while, maybe I can come back, Wang Zhonggang, Wang Zhongmei brothers and sisters are also going to school, this year the school started earlier, Wang Zhongyu sent the two brothers and sisters to the car, also gave some food on the road, and gave the two of them the first month's living expenses, the three brothers and sisters hugged tightly and didn't want to leave, tears fell all of a sudden, Wang Zhonggang, Wang Zhongmei all know the hardships of the eldest brother, and know some of the reasons why he and Lotus have not married so far, although it is much better than before, Wang Zhongyu also has his own job, and Lotus has his own brilliant career. After the brother and sister left, Wang Zhongyu returned home, and his father packed his things and said:
"Loyal, you will go back to the unit immediately, I should also go back to the factory! On the Lantern Festival, you can go home to burn paper, and there is still something to do in the factory, and you can brag with the guards when you have nothing to do, and pass the time. “
