Chapter 167, New Year

The Spring Festival in the fifties and sixties is still quite nostalgic in the eyes of the older generation.

This may also be the joy of people's suffering!

In this era, there is no seven-day holiday for the Spring Festival like in later generations, and the holiday at this time is only three days, that is, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the second day of the new year.

A few days ago, Secretary Wang and Director Zhang came back, and they were full of red faces, and they saw that they had got a lot of good things.

At noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, the machines in the factory stopped, and since the end of lunch at noon, there has been a long queue in front of the factory's financial office this year.

The people in the cafeteria, including the entire logistics, were busy, and next to the table in the financial room, pork was piled up on the table, and the palm-wide hairtail fish were also put down, and there were bags of grain piled up behind the table.

Listening to Li Huaide, this year's benefits are much richer than in previous years, and these are all things that Secretary Wang and Director Zhang exchanged for those machines invented by Jiang Yan.

Originally, this year, the factory wanted to send two catties of rich and strong flour to finish, and the two leaders came back from the ministry with a big wave of their hands, and today every worker sent half a catty of pork, three catties of Fuqiang flour, a hairtail fish and five catties of stick noodles.

The abundance of benefits is the most ever, which makes the workers smile.

Jiang Yan has a special place to receive their wages and benefits, so naturally they don't have to queue up here.

"Mr. Jiang, this is your salary, the salary is 124 yuan in total, and the job subsidy is 45 yuan, a total of 169 yuan."

The finance department responsible for paying Jiang Yan and their salaries handed Jiang Yan a roll of bills and some industrial bills together, and gave Jiang Yan some bills distributed to him this month.

There are a lot of bills in this book, and they are thick in his hand, Jiang Yan took a general look inside, there are a lot of bills in them, and most of them are commonly used bills.

Previously, Director Zhang had sent his secretary to send Jiang Yan a thick envelope, which contained fifty catties of fine grain stamps rewarded to him, as well as some rare bills such as meat stamps, oil stamps, tobacco and alcohol stamps, and bicycle tickets, most of which were redeemed at the sight of the bills, and there was no need to add money at all.

After receiving his salary, Jiang Yan went to receive his benefits again, and received his benefits, Jiang Yan put these things in the prepared bag, and came to his jeep with his hand, and found that the pillars, Xu Damao and Shi also received their own wages and benefits.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Yan directly started the car and drove towards his home.

The old rules of Forty-Nine City. Twenty-five, frozen tofu, twenty-six, go to buy meat, twenty-seven, slaughter roosters, twenty-eight, make noodles, twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns, New Year's dinner is not made in a day. The biggest benefit of the Spring Festival is to "satisfy cravings".

Chinese cabbage is the main dish of the people, and the housewives in the Spring Festival recipe can almost set a cabbage table with the tricks they conjure.

During the Spring Festival this year, the street gave each person more than half a catty of oil and half a catty of meat, and each household could have two catties of Fuqiang flour, one catty of soybeans, two catties of mung beans, a few catties of small rice and five catties of fish.

On the 27th and 8th day of the lunar month, the streets were crowded with people who were doing New Year's goods, and the state-run non-staple food stores were selling wooden planks in front of the store.

The New Year's ticket is also printed with two festive red lanterns, two or three catties of a large piece of meat, which is much more comfortable than the usual two and a half catties of meat.

Fish is the protagonist of the New Year, and every household has to buy some main dishes for the New Year's dinner.

Sugar melon sacrifice stove, the girl wants flowers, the boy wants cannons, and the old man wants a new felt hat.

Just two words, festive!

The girls' favorite head flowers and corsages include chrysanthemums, peonies, roses, peonies, gladiolus and other patterns.

Adding a new toy for the New Year is a little secret for parents who do New Year's goods.

On weekdays, coarse grains are hard to see meaty, and the rich and strong pink meat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve will look extraordinarily fragrant, there is no pocket money on weekdays, and a paper lantern is pasted in the Spring Festival, buying a windmill, even if you visit the factory temple fair and buy nothing, you can make adults and children happy for a long time.

On weekdays, when the parents work hard and some of the women are not around, it is a blessing in life to be able to have a reunion dinner, even if it is just radish and cabbage.

Collectivity is the characteristic of the Spring Festival in this era. Unit invoices to watch movies, organize amusement parties, group worship, street uniform invoice certificates, purchase books, organize cleaning, etc.

Everyone in the compound is beaming, adults and children are smiling when they see each other, even if it is two families who usually have conflicts, they will greet each other during the New Year.

As soon as Jiang Yanche arrived at the door of his small courtyard, he saw where the three great masters Yan Bugui were waiting.

"Teacher Yan, what are you?" After seeing Yan Bugui, Jiang Yan got out of the car and asked.

"Xiao Yan, it's not almost the New Year, I left your couplet for you, I just happened to be free today, so I sent it to you."

Seeing the couplet in Yan Bugui's hand, Jiang Yan smiled dumbly, he hadn't seen himself forget this stubble in the past few years.

"Then thank you Mr. Yan, this is the New Year, and there is nothing to give you, I just got a few bottles of wine today, and I will get a bottle for Mr. Yan."

Jiang Yan opened the trunk as he spoke, took out a bottle of Erguotou from it and handed it to Yan Bugui.

When he came back from the factory just now, Jiang Yan took a few of them to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores to prepare the things for the New Year, and many of them were things that Jiang Yan secretly took out from the space.

"It's still the welfare of your factory, so rich." Yan Bugui looked at the contents of the trunk of the car with envious eyes.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yan was also a little speechless, thought about it and took out a piece of bacon from the trunk.

"Actually, there aren't so many things, and a lot of these things are things we bought ourselves for the New Year. Take this bacon back and add a dish for the New Year. ”

The third master, Yan Bugui, took the things handed over by Jiang Yan after a while.

This Yan Bugui is quite excited in his heart today! I'm here today.

Usually Yan Bugui helps the people in the courtyard to write couplets, and the people in the courtyard will also mean the meaning, it doesn't matter how much, it's a mind.

There are those who take three or five cents, one or two cents, some grab fried peanuts, some grab melon seeds, and even put down a sweet potato and leave.

Like Jiang Yan gave himself a bottle of wine and a piece of bacon, I have never heard of it, this bacon is a pound, and you can eat it for a long time if you save a little.

The three masters write the Spring Festival couplets, which is a compliant and legal "business", the big red paper bought for a few cents is cut, and the pen and ink inkstones are also ready-made.

The exquisite stove room should be written "be careful of the lights", the bedside kang should be written "healthy" or "lying on the blessed land", the front yard and the back yard should be written "spring full of courtyard" or "full of spring hui", the noodle tank should be written "rice noodles are like mountains", the water urn should be written "save water", the large cabinet and small cabinet should be written "gold ten thousand taels" and "the year of the rich thing", the livestock shed and poultry house should be written "cattle and horses are herded" or "six animals are prosperous", the big tree should be written "trees are towering", and the ladder should be written "step by step".

Of course, Jiang Yan has many rooms in his yard, and there are many couplets, unlike the people in the courtyard, there are only one or two rooms in a family, and one or two couplets are enough to stick on the door frame.

Usually eating, Jiang Yan explained to He Yuzhu, they still have to cover up a thing or two, and today they finally stopped covering up.

Jiang Yan took out three pig heads and more than 20 catties of beef from his own space, and Jiang Yan also instructed Xu Damao to buy a few pairs of pigs to go into the water.

Not long after he came back, the sixth son also came back, and he also took back Jiang Yan's benefits in the automobile factory, and the things were almost the same as the rolling mill.

Not long after the sixth son came back, the ministry and the general queen also sent benefits to Jiang Yan, a total of thirty catties of small standing rice, fifty catties of rich and strong powder, as well as thirty catties of cattle, mutton and pork, as well as some candy and snacks and other things, and each pig's head gave one.

At this time, the whole city is filled with the fragrance of all kinds of food, not bad Jiang Yan and them, there are so many good things, He Yuzhu and Liuzi are showing their skills, the marinated should be fried, and the fried should be fried.

Jiang Yan believes that tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is extremely rich.
