On the twenty-third day of the lunar month in the eighties, the flavor of the year was already very heavy.

Li Ye, who had not yet left Beijing, was called home by Mr. Ke himself, had a good family banquet, and then stuffed a lot of New Year's goods.

And Li Ye asked Mr. Ke when he was leaving, is it appropriate for him to come and walk around on the second day of the new year?

According to the tradition of the flower planter, the second day of the Lunar New Year is also called "Son-in-law's Day", and the son-in-law after engagement and marriage must carry gifts to his father-in-law's house on this day to pay New Year's greetings.

The number of gifts mentioned and the value are linked to the "age of the son-in-law", the newer the son-in-law, the more and more expensive the gifts that need to be mentioned.

If it's an old son-in-law for decades. A few ingredients plus two bottles of liquor are enough, and by noon, there will be tons of dazzling meals, and most of them will fall into the stomachs of himself, his wife and children.

And Li Ye and Wen Leyu are still just "talking about it", in some places they need to pay New Year's greetings, but not necessarily in some places, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, there must be a lot of sons-in-law in the COFCO compound, and whether he is qualified or not depends on what Mr. Ke means.

However, as soon as Li Ye's voice fell, Wen Qingsheng, who had already drunk eight points of wine, said: "Of course it is appropriate, how can this not be suitable?" I'll be waiting for you on the second day of the Lunar New Year! ”

And Teacher Ke also looked at Li Ye and said with a playful smile: "If you don't come to me on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings, where do you want to go to pay New Year's greetings?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm wrong Aunt Ke, I'll be there on time on the second day of the new year."

Li Ye went out with a wry smile.

And Wen Leyu, who sent him out, was also full of comfortable smiles on his little face.

Qingshui County is 500 kilometers away from the capital, and it is still very troublesome to rush over to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so it shows that Li Ye attaches great importance to the relationship between the two.

However, although Wen Leyu smiled happily on his face, he said insincerely: "Actually, you don't have to rush so much, you can come later, you have to start from Qingshui County on the first day of the new year, and my parents won't blame you."

Li Ye dealt with Wen Leyu, but he was much more clever, and he immediately made a troubled look and said, "No! If I'm at home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, people think I'm not a partner.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the matchmaker came to the door with a girl like a flower, what do you think I should do? ”

“.”

Wen Leyu was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at Li Ye and said word by word: "Although I know you are joking, but. I'm still going to beat you up. ”

"Poof~"

The small fist hit Li Ye's shoulder accurately and hard.

Why did Wen Leyu hit Li Ye on the shoulder? Because it hurts to hit other places, whether it is the chest, lower abdomen or brain.

"Eh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, don't fight"

Li Ye screamed in pain again and again, but Wen Leyu became addicted, and the strength in his hands weakened by half, but the frequency did not decrease at all.

"Eh, look at you, isn't that your brother? The other one is who?"

Li Ye suddenly grabbed Wen Leyu's hand and pointed to a dark place outside the gate of the compound.

Wen Leyu looked over, and sure enough, he saw the jeep of his brother Wen Guohua.

Next to the jeep, a bicycle was parked, and next to the bicycle stood a woman with long hair.

Although Li Ye's eyesight is very good, the distance is a bit far, and it is the darkest place, so some can't see clearly.

But Wen Leyu said softly: "It should be Ning Pingping." ”

"Ning Pingping?"

Li Ye took a closer look, and it really looked like Ning Pingping.

Looking at Ning Pingping's bicycle again, thinking that it was almost nine o'clock at this time, Li Ye figured out some taste.

Just like Wen Guohua and Ning Pingping's stickiness in the past, it is impossible for this kind of thing to block the door.

Li Ye asked in a low voice, "Ning Pingping, is this blocking your brother?" Did your brother pull out and hide from him? ”

Wen Leyu didn't answer directly, but said quietly: "Sometimes, it's a very torturous thing to have fate, I know that we can't go together, but I can't let go and figure it out.

So you and I have to cherish, Li Ye, me and you. I almost missed it. ”

“.”

In the darkness, Wen Leyu's big eyes were filled with tears.

Obviously, she remembered her past with Li Ye, if it weren't for Lu Jingyao's rebellion, if it weren't for Li Ye and Wen Leyu being decisive enough, or even if Li Ye was good enough, neither of them would be able to get to where they are today.

Li Ye was ashamed to help Wen Leyu wipe away his tears, and whispered: "I was wrong Xiaoyu, I won't make that kind of joke in the future." ”

"Hmph,"

Wen Leyu snorted: "It's okay, it's okay for you to make a joke occasionally, I just practice boxing,

One of our dorms recently joined the school's boxing club, and I also learned how to combine boxing, straight with the front hand and uppercut with the back hand. Hit you all over the face. ”

“.”

Wen Leyu's two little arms danced like a tiger, and it looked like that.

Li Ye suddenly felt that Wen Leyu seemed to have mastered his own preference code, intimate gentleness + fake brutality, and combined a super perfect image of a little daughter-in-law.

。。。。。。。

The twenty-fifth day of the lunar month is the day when Li Ye and a small group of eight people agreed to go home together.

As everyone enters the junior year together, it becomes more and more difficult to have a regular dinner in a small group of eight.

Li Dayong was busy with Changbei, Fu Yingjie talked about his girlfriend, Hu Man became the head of the women's department of the student union, Jiang Xiaoyan was busy helping the family's noodle restaurant open a branch, Yan Jinjin and Han Xia met with each other's parents.

Everyone is busy, everyone has their own small circle, it is very rare for eight people to get together, and even many times only Li Dayong, Li Ye and Wen Leyu have family dinners.

However, when I go to school and go home every semester, everyone's opinions are very unanimous, and we can go together.

And this year, Changbei Machinery Company just picked up a seven-seat land patrol, just enough to fit everyone, Li Ye will come to honor his father-in-law on the second day of the new year, so he decided to drive back, and then drive the car back on the second day of the new year.

Although you can take a train from Qingshui County on the first day of the Lunar New Year and get to the capital the next day, Li Ye, who has owned a private car in later generations, believes that within 500 kilometers, a private car that can go if you want is still the first choice.

But everyone said that it was okay, and on the afternoon of the 24th of the lunar month, Li Dayong called and said that he might not be able to leave.

"Brother, the factory is still very messy! Xiaohui and Guo Tianyong are going home for the New Year, I may not be able to leave, I will ask someone to send the car to you, you go with Hu Man and them first! ”

"Can't leave?" Li Ye said strangely: "Won't Changbei have a holiday from today?" You can't walk away? Is there another trouble on the management's side? ”

Li Dayong said bitterly on the other end of the phone: "The management has indeed made a fuss for a while, but it is not a climate at all, mainly because we seem to give too much, and the workers are not willing to take a holiday!" ”

“.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Ye called Tian Hongshan over and asked him to drive him to Changbei Machinery Company.

When I arrived at the factory, sure enough, the machines did not stop, and the workers did not take a holiday.

Tian Hongshan said with a smile: "When I came to pick up the goods before! The workers are also very motivated, but they can't compare with what they are now.

Now they are all like model workers, and they don't know how tired they are! You see, it's 4:50, and the machine hasn't stopped yet! ”

In the 80s, regardless of whether it was a state-run or a collective, the workers must be shut down at half past five after work, and they would wait for the end of the day.

But if you don't stop at 4:50, you won't be able to leave at 5 o'clock.

Li Ye looked at the tireless workers, and he didn't know what to say.

It's been a busy year, and the Spring Festival has asked you to take a long vacation, and one by one you are still unwilling.

In fact, many people in later generations did not know that workers in the 80s had "annual leave", authentic paid leave.

As long as they are regular workers, they have "employee leave" every year, ranging from five days to ten or fifteen days, and even some old workers can take longer leave.

On the contrary, in the later generations of economic development, annual leave has become a lofty name, and it is getting farther and farther away from ordinary workers.

"Bell bell bell ~"

The bell rang and the machines in the workshop gradually stopped, but the workers rushed to the canteen instead of going home.

"Is this still going overtime?"

Tian Hongshan said with a smile: "Isn't it, the workers in the workshop are performance-based wages, and they earn more when they work, and now the production tasks are scheduled for half a year, don't you make a fortune one by one?" ”

"What does it mean to be rich? Hard work. ”

Li Ye smiled and said, "Okay!" As long as it's not the management making trouble, the workers can earn more! It's not that you can't afford to pay your salary. ”

In fact, according to Li Ye's experience, after any company encounters the situation of "workers getting rich", it must adjust its performance and reduce the wages of its workers.

However, Li Ye will never bring this kind of business philosophy of treating workers as cattle and horses to the current Changbei.

It's not that there is no profit in the factory, and it's not that it doesn't make money, so what's wrong with giving workers a few more steel hammers? Won't there be a fat east in the future?

At this time, an old man walked past Li Ye and Tian Hongshan and said hello to Tian Hongshan.

"Boss Tian, are you here to pick up the goods today? If you want to pick up the goods, hurry up and say, otherwise I won't be able to arrange for you when the office gets off work. ”

Tian Hongshan smiled and waved his hand: "Master Liao, I don't pick up the goods, our company has a holiday, I just came to find Technician Li for something." ”

"Technician Li is over there! I'll give you a shout. ”

"Don't go, Master Liao, let me ask you something."

Tian Hongshan was a person with clear eyebrows, and knew what Li Ye wanted to know, so he immediately asked the old man: "Master Liao, are there no workers in your workshop who are unwilling to work overtime?" ”

"Yes!"

The old man said: "There are indeed so many lazy people who don't know what their surnames are after earning two dollars, and they have to take a long vacation, and the big guy directly dragged him to the construction site in the east."

Master Liao pointed to the east, squinted his eyes and said, "You can also go to the east to see the foundation of the building, the construction started a week after the meeting that day, and the grooves were dug out in the winter month, who doesn't believe in people anymore."

But people say that if the efficiency is not good, there will be no second phase of the staff building, and now the production plan is half a year later, if anyone spoils the efficiency and drags the brothers back, the big guy can break his legs. ”

"I'll ask you, who dares to take a vacation?"
