The group of people standing guard at the gate turned a blind eye to Li Ping'an taking the food from the factory home, didn't stop him, and let the people go directly.

The main reason is that Li Ping'an is not the only one who did this tonight, but all the cadres who came out of the factory at this point carried a net lunch box in their hands, and they couldn't stop it if they wanted to, so they could only pretend not to see it.

Li Ping'an returned to the courtyard, at this time Yi Zhonghai and they had already had dinner and were chatting in the house, seeing Li Ping'an packing and bringing back so many things, an aunt was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Ping'an, what are you doing today?" How do you pack so many meals back? ”

"Today's working meal in the factory, I see that they are all bringing it home, and I will also pack some to bring back" Speaking of this, Li Ping'an paused and said again: "I think so, we don't lack these things at home, don't we have three difficult households in our hospital, divide these meals into three parts, and send one to each family, exactly thirty nights, you can add a meal"

For Li Ping'an's idea, the three people in the house were very supportive, and an aunt took the meal from Li Ping'an's hand, found three rice bowls, divided them into three equal portions, and prepared to send them to the three difficult households in the courtyard.

"Aunt, you go with your uncle, although the factory doesn't care about these foods, but after all, this is brought back from the factory, and it's not appropriate for me to send them."

There are some things that can be done but not said, strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is the same as the stupid pillar, it is the theft of state materials. And the identities of Li Ping'an and Silly Zhu are different, Silly Zhu is an ordinary worker in the canteen, and Li Ping'an is a national cadre with an establishment, once someone reports it, Silly Zhu will be fined at most, and the price paid by Li Ping'an will be great.

The matter of helping the needy households sounds very noble, and others will praise it when they hear it, and they think that you are a good person because of your character.

However, the behavior of stealing state materials to help the needy households in the home is debatable, and after others hear about it, they don't know what to think.

Although today's meal is a default benefit given by the factory, even if it is reported to the rolling mill, the factory will not take care of it, but it is still necessary to be cautious and try not to make trouble for yourself and the factory.

Therefore, it is better for Li Ping'an not to come forward for this kind of thing, as long as Li Ping'an does not come forward, no one can say that the materials were brought back from the factory, which is good for everyone.

"Ping'an, you did a good job in this matter, you don't have to come forward, I'll go with your aunt, I won't tell you the origin of this meal, and I will definitely not leave the handle" Yi Zhonghai was able to understand Li Ping'an's thoughts, nodded at Li Ping'an with a look of relief, and walked out with an aunt carrying a rice bowl used to help neighbors.

Li Ping'an is very satisfied that his cheap uncle can understand his meaning so quickly, this is the benefit of getting along with smart people, without too much explanation, people can understand the meaning of your words and the concerns in your heart, and help you do things beautifully.

Whether this meal is delivered by Li Ping'an or Yi Zhonghai, there is no difference at all in Li Ping'an's place. In the eyes of the people in the hospital, Li Ping'an and Yi Zhonghai are a family, and this favor will eventually fall on Li Ping'an.

The next day at work, as soon as Li Ping'an entered the rolling mill, before he arrived at the office, he was requisitioned by Chen Youfu, and he was busy with the distribution of New Year's goods in the rolling mill this year.

Busy working until the afternoon, sending the last batch of New Year's goods to the workshop, today's work is an end, just wait before getting off work, receive the New Year's gift on their face, and go home from work to prepare for the New Year.

Back in the office, leading the four subordinates who came back from vacation, a group of five people went to the canteen hall to receive this year's New Year's supplies.

The person who distributed the New Year's goods was a unit chief named Lu Yongjun on the side of the canteen, which was not an official establishment, similar to Cui Dake's situation. After seeing Li Ping'an come to receive the supplies, he greeted him warmly: "Deputy Section Chief Li, why did you come in person, about receiving the New Year's goods, you asked people to say hello to me, and I will send them to you in person, and this will let you run in person."

"Chief Lu, you are too polite, I have nothing to do in the office, and there are not many things, so I came over to collect it myself, you are busy with yours, I will line up in the back, don't delay the comrades' New Year's goods collection work" Li Ping'an waved his hand and led the four soldiers to stand at the back of the line.

Lu Yongjun wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Li Ping'an had already stood at the back, he was obviously unwilling to accept his kindness, so he could only return to the front and supervise the distribution of New Year's gifts.

The workers who received the materials were all beaming, although everyone envied the work of the rolling mill, but the conditions of the workers were really not so good, the family with a small population or a dual-income family was fine, and they could eat pork and white noodles several times a month, but they relied on a salary to support the family, even if the wages of the workers were not low, and the life was very ordinary, it could only be said that they were full of food and clothing, and they could not eat meat twice a month.

This year, the factory distributed a pound of pork, which can be regarded as a great help, and there are pork and white noodles in the New Year's gift, and tomorrow when the Chinese New Year's Eve is over, the family can eat a delicious meal of dumplings.

Lined up to receive the annual gift of this year's rolling mill, the same as ordinary workers, are one pound of pork and three pounds of white noodles, there is no special treatment because of the status of cadres, and what is important is that everyone is equal.

After the distribution of materials, it basically means that this year's work has ended, the factory also understands that everyone has no intention of working, the annual meeting has been held, after the factory leaders held a meeting to decide, after the workers received the materials, they can go back directly, do not have to wait until the bell rings to get off work.

After the radio station broadcast this notice, the factory exploded instantly, and the workers praised the factory leaders while cleaning up the New Year's gift, and after cleaning up, the workers left the rolling mill in groups.

Saying goodbye to the four soldiers under his command, Li Ping'an rode a bicycle to pick up Ding Qiunan from work, not unwilling to drive the jeep back, the jeep belongs to the assets of the factory in the end, not his own private ownership, usually drive it is okay, no one says anything about you, if you drive home for the New Year, it will be too high-profile, if you are stabbed to the top by the person who is not used to it, Li Ping'an will wait to be cleaned up.

After receiving Ding Qiunan, he put the New Year's gift of the two on the handlebar and took Ding Qiunan to the courtyard.

"Ping'an, Qiu Nan, you came back just in time, hurry up and pack up, let's go out to eat mutton shabu tonight" When Li Ping'an took Ding Qiunan home, Yi Zhonghai had already arrived early, and after cleaning up with his aunt, he sat in the house and waited for Li Ping'an's little couple to come back.

Li Pingan put the two people's annual gifts into the house, and when he heard Yi Zhonghai say this, Li Pingan said with a smile: "Uncle, today is not yet Chinese New Year's Eve, what kind of mutton are we going to eat?"

"Isn't the salary paid in advance, thinking that our family hasn't been out of the restaurant for a long time, take this opportunity to go eat mutton shabu," Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

Considering that people now have no savings at home, and the money for the New Year may not be able to be taken out, the rolling mill has paid this month's salary in advance in order to let the workers have a good year.

This has the advantage that it will not leave the workers without money for the New Year, of course, there are also disadvantages, some families are calculating the days to spend money, and they have to pull the famine at the end of each month, such as the Jia family opposite.

received their wages in advance, and spent the money during the New Year, and after the New Year, their family will have a hard time for a while.

Now Qin Huairu is sitting at home and worrying, in the past, there was a meal for Silly Zhu, and the rest of the meal money could be saved by himself, and he could borrow some money from Silly Zhu every month.

Since he broke up with the stupid pillar, the current Qin Huairu calculates his salary every day, and saves everything he can. This year's New Year, there was no cloth for Xiaodang Xiaohuahua and the two of them to make new clothes, because the stick terrier and Jia Zhangshi were squatting on the fence, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was also very lively, and there was no preparation for the New Year, Qin Huairu planned to use the New Year's gift issued by the factory to fool it.

In fact, with Qin Huairu's salary, their family's life can go on, and they will not be as poor as they are now. But who made Qin Huairu want to save money and save it for the stick terrier to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

In the past, when there was a stupid pillar to help, the Jia family's small life was good, the children were well nourished, they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and they could save ten yuan a month.

Now there is no stupid pillar's money and food, Qin Huairu still saves ten yuan a month, and keeps it for the stick terrier in the future, her salary is only 27.5 a month, and if she wants to save ten yuan, the difficulty can be imagined, so she can only save from the usual family expenses.

In this way, I can only suffer the two little daughters in the family.

Because of the matter of money, Qin Huairu's head was big, and when he was thinking about who he could get some money from, suddenly what Xu Damao said last time in the small warehouse came to his mind.

Qin Huairu's face became gray and inexplicable, her hands were on the table, and she unconsciously tapped the table with her fingertips, not knowing what she was thinking in her mind.

"Ping'an, you get up early tomorrow, our house will be cleaned tomorrow, the Spring Festival couplets or something will be posted tomorrow, remember to get up, don't delay" Li Ping'an's family came back from Donglaishun with a full meal and wine, and when they parted at the gate of the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth and instructed.

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words telling him not to lie in bed, Li Ping'an's old face turned red, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

In the entire miscellaneous courtyard, Li Ping'an can sleep lazily, not even as good as the children in the courtyard, if no one calls him, he can sleep until ninety o'clock before waking up.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely be able to get up tomorrow, and I won't delay things" Li Ping'an didn't care at all about Ding Qiunan's disdainful eyes, and patted his chest firmly to reassure Yi Zhonghai.

After returning to the room, Ding Qiunan took out a new dress from the closet, handed it to Li Ping'an and said, "I made you a new dress, you can wear it and try it."

Some time ago, Ding Qiunan went to buy fabrics and came back, and made a new dress for the whole family to wear for the New Year. Ding Qiunan's skills in making clothes are still good, and they are particularly innovative, that is, she was born in the wrong era, if she was born in the next life, maybe she can be mixed with a senior tailor who specializes in designing clothes for people.

"Yes, yes, Comrade Ding Qiunan's skills are getting better and better, even if you can't be a doctor in the future, you have this skill, and you can go to the textile factory to mix with a female worker" After trying the new clothes made by Ding Qiunan, Li Ping'an gave a pertinent evaluation.

Ding Qiunan glanced at Li Ping'an: "Don't worry, the doctor and I will continue to do a good job, quickly take off your clothes and go to sleep, you just promised your uncle that you will get up early tomorrow morning."

When he heard that he would get up early tomorrow, Li Ping'an had a headache, and he really couldn't get up!

Taking off the new clothes and putting them back in the cabinet, Li Ping'an came to the dresser and said to Ding Qiunan, who was smearing alabaster on his face: "That, Comrade Ding Qiunan, after you wake up tomorrow morning, can you wake up your husband?"

"Didn't someone just pat his chest and promise his uncle, didn't he say that he could get up? Why do you need someone else to call it? Ding Qiunan said in a mocking tone while smearing alabaster on his face.

"Isn't that for the sake of the so-called face, lady, you can help your husband, don't let me be embarrassed in front of my uncle tomorrow"

Li Ping'an rubbed Ding Qiunan's shoulders and pounded his legs again, and after a lot of good words, Ding Qiunan agreed to wake him up tomorrow morning.

With Ding Qiunan's assurance, Li Ping'an was relieved and went to bed to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, before dawn, Li Ping'an was dragged off the bed by Ding Qiunan, and after breakfast, Li Ping'an and Yi Zhonghai started the year-end cleaning.

As for Aunt Yi and Ding Qiunan, they pushed bicycles and carried vegetable baskets to go out to buy New Year's goods needed for the New Year.

After a busy morning, the house was cleaned spotlessly, including the beams of the roof, which were scrubbed by Li Ping'an.

"Ping'an, the house is over, you go to the front yard to see, your three masters are writing Spring Festival couplets, you take something over, let your three masters write the deputy Spring Festival couplets" Yi Zhonghai couldn't spare the ingredients he bought after cleaning in the house, so he asked Li Ping'an to go to the three masters to write the deputy Spring Festival couplets back.

Li Ping'an, who got the order, casually put a handful of peanuts and melon seeds in his pocket, and went out to find the three masters.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder after the firecrackers exploded, and every family in the courtyard was busy with joy.

The third master, Yan Fugui, set up a stall in the front yard early, put out pen, ink, paper, inkstone, took out the red paper that had been cut at home, and happily set up a stall to sell Spring Festival couplets.

Don't look at the three masters usually look like they are picking and searching, in the end they have received formal Confucian education, his handwriting is really good, and he has a lot of fame in the surrounding courtyards, and at this time of year, there will be many people in the courtyard next door who come to the three masters to write Spring Festival couplets.

When Li Ping'an came to the front yard, he saw that the three masters were splashing ink in the courtyard, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the red paper with Spring Festival couplets written, and the three masters who picked up the brush really had a little literati style, and Li Ping'an was amazed to see it.
