"Hey, Chen Zhen, where did you go to buy clothes with your wife, looking at people's packaging, it doesn't look like you bought it in the market, it feels high-end!"

"You don't know if you say it, Chen Zhen is already a big boss outside now, there are small factories and small stores, and the money you earn a day is all your month's!"

"It's still Chen Zhen, you kid enjoy Qingfu, there is such a beautiful wife and you still earn money, I feel that you have to be the one in this match factory this year!"

……

Since the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone has more time outside, all kinds of people who have just come back to the market to buy New Year's goods, and some uncles who have finally been idle for the New Year have looked at Chen Zhen and teased.

Those people don't have any malice, the tradition of the match factory people, whose family conditions are good, and they always have to make fun of it when they are developed, Chen Zhen smiled and said: "Where is the big boss, these are all miscellaneous brands, wait for me to invest two fans of pork in the canteen, so that everyone can eat better in those meals before the New Year!" ”

"Okay, Chen Zhen is still reliable, and he thinks about everyone when he makes money!"

The crowd laughed and laughed.

Passing by the dormitory bungalows around, through the windows, you can see a group of old people chatting around the stove, on which a few sweet potatoes and oranges are roasted, and the wrinkles on their faces seem to tell about their experience in the match factory for so many years.

The children, on the other hand, were idle at home, playing outside with their big gloves and playing with the snowflakes, running around as if everything was very new to the match factory.

The smell of matches in the air seemed to be even stronger at this moment, Chen Zhen and Zhang Baixue smiled and walked back home.

Twenty-sixth of the lunar month, the year is approaching, this day is a bit special, in the history of Pingjiang in this day there is a store can not open the door to make money, as the saying goes, keep their money this year, and the home is to open the windows and doors of the house in the morning, clean the house in the morning and wipe the glass, as the saying goes, the source of wealth is wide, do not open the money are lost.

Early in the morning, a roaring sound of two kicks sounded, and it sounded nearly dozens of rings in a row, and it seems that Pingjiang Match Factory does not know when it has this custom, and how many years it has been established.

The successive two kicking sounds shouted all the people in the match factory, and the workshop of the factory also stopped, Chen Zhen and Zhang Baixue woke up in a daze, stretched their waists and got up.

"Open the window, show the door, Grandpa Fortune hurry up and ......"

After Chen Zhen got up, he got dressed and muttered the old words that his father often mentioned during the New Year, Zhang Baixue was not idle, and simply took out the cleaning tools after heating the leftovers from last night.

Every family was busy, and Sun Ergou was the same, he was arranged by Lao Tzu to clean the glass outside, Chen Zhen and Sun Ergou glanced at each other and laughed.

"Ergou, come here, I have something for you!"

Zhang Baixue stood at the door and greeted with a smile, Sun Ergou threw down the glass-cleaning newspaper in his hand and trotted over, wiped his water-stained hands and said, "Why, sister-in-law, you have to give me a red envelope before the New Year, then I can ......"

"Smack!"

Chen Zhen slapped the other party's neck directly, and signaled: "How old are you and ask your sister-in-law for a red envelope, what kind of seniority, it seems that you still have less work." ”

"Uncle, the second dog is lazy outside, you can arrange some more work!"

Chen Zhen shouted at Sun Ergou's house, and Sun Ergou hurriedly covered Chen Zhen's mouth: "Be quiet, let my father know that I am going to be killed!" ”

This scene also caused the surrounding neighbors to laugh, and the smell of this year also came up.

Zhang Baixue patted Chen Zhen lightly to signal not to make trouble, and then took out a woolen sweater he bought yesterday from it and said: "This is for Mengjuan, I specially bought two pieces, and our two sisters can wear the same!" ”

"Ahh For Mengjuan? ”

"Sister-in-law, you are so touching to me, you and Brother Zhen went out to buy clothes and worried about Mengjuan's clothes, it's really troublesome!"

Sun Ergou looked at Zhang Baixue with a blank look in his eyes, Zhang Baixue also smiled, and Sun Ergou made a mistake again at this time: "Brother Zhen, what did you go out to buy for me, I'll go in and pick one?" ”

"Phew! Bringing you something? You still have the face to say, when will I earn back the cost of that batch of bad apples, and I will buy it for you, I think well! ”

Chen Zhen and Sun Ergou have been with Sun Ergou for so long, how can they not know Sun Ergou's careful thoughts, Sun Ergou, who poked directly in one sentence, had nothing to say, and then Sun Ergou said to Zhang Baixue: "Sister-in-law, I thank you for Mengjuan, besides, you should rest quickly, Brother Zhen is the health commissioner when he was in school, if you don't let him do it, who will do it......"

Before Sun Ergou's words were finished, Chen Zhen was about to kick it directly, but fortunately, Sun Ergou ran fast to dodge it, and Zhang Baixue came to the spirit: "Hey, hey? Chen Zhen, didn't you say that you were a member of the study committee when you were in school, how can you be a health commissioner? ”

"That...... That second dog is talking nonsense. ”

"Nonsense? Don't run, stop! ”

……

A group of people watched the lively work, and they were not tired for a while, and the fatigue in their hearts was also relieved a lot.

In the afternoon, the meat is going to be cooked, the whole match factory door-to-door meat fragrance covers the original match taste, the hot pot of each house can't stop all afternoon, usually Chen Zhen doesn't cook much, but at this time, Chen Zhen has become the main force, and he can't stop working for a while, until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, the match factory also began its own welfare as a large factory, going door-to-door to receive some rice, flour, oil and eggs, etc. by the number of people, pots and pans and other new gadgets are all placed under the office building, and there is even a cart of buckets next to it, in which live fish are bouncing.

The chairman of the trade union was busy to death at this time, basically he could not sleep for 20 hours a week, greeting back and forth in front of the queue people, and the busy people turned their backs, and their voices had become the voice of male ducks: "All count something, don't take less, don't take more, everyone has a share, don't squeeze!" ”

Workers have welfare, and the benefits of high-level leaders such as factory directors are naturally indispensable, and all the extra things or some scarce things bought are carried to their homes at night.

The leaders also don't need to greet a few polite words, but the things are basically put down, and everyone has no complaints, after all, who makes the family a leader!

In addition, a platform was set up early at the entrance of the bathhouse at night, and the annual match factory New Year's party could not be missed.
