February 14th, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The reunion dinner is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, so all units have a holiday today as appropriate, and only work for half a day.

In previous years, when Geng Changqing was the number one, on Chinese New Year's Eve and during the holiday, he would pay out of his own pocket and give each commune cadre a pound of meat.

Li Hongjun just rose up, and he didn't want others to say that he was slamming the door, but he dragged his family and mouth, and he didn't have so many meat tickets. So he followed the fish brigade and ordered 20 fish.

After Su Mo went to work for half a day, she returned with the fish given by Li Hongjun and the snacks she bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives in the morning.

I was going to have a reunion dinner today, and Li Yue'e was busy cooking food at home, so Su Mo didn't let her pick it up and walked back by herself.

Halfway to the road, I happened to meet the car of the army to pick up supplies, and the cook who followed the car had also seen Su Mo that day, so he quickly asked the driver to stop the car.

The little cook jumped out of the car and shouted to Su Mo, "Sister-in-law, are you going to see the head of the regiment?" ”

Su Mo had some impressions of this cook, and waved his hand with a smile, "No, I'll go home, just in front of the Lujia Village brigade." ”

The little soldier scratched his head a little embarrassed, he had heard that the new regiment leader was a local, but he didn't expect it to be so local, the village was almost at the entrance of the camp.

"Then, sister-in-law, we'll give you a ride."

"Okay, thank you." Su Mo didn't refuse, it might take a few minutes to drive, but it would take more than half an hour for her to walk.

The little soldier asked Su Mo to sit in the co-pilot and go to the car body by himself.

In the car, Su Mo talked to the two and learned the names of the two, the little cook's name was Wu Dong, and the driver's name was Qin Gang.

also knows, the two of them are going to pick up the New Year's supplies today. For the New Year, you have to give the soldiers some meat.

Lu Changzheng also said yesterday that he would come back later today, and he would have to have a reunion dinner with the soldiers in the army before he could return, so that he didn't have to wait for him to eat.

The two soldiers sent Su Mo to the brigade headquarters, and before getting out of the car, Su Mo gave the two of them two cakes each, but the two didn't dare to ask for it, and Su Mo stuffed it.

After arriving home, Su Mo took the steamed buns from the space and simply solved the lunch.

Then start the pot and make a fire, take the chestnuts and pine nuts out and fry them, if someone comes to visit the door during the New Year, it can be used to entertain.

After the stir-fry, Su Mo began to seal the red seal again, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he wanted to give money for the year.

Lu Changzheng handed over last month's salary yesterday, 127 yuan of salary, deducting 14 yuan of food expenses, he kept 3 yuan for himself, and the remaining 110 yuan was given to Su Mo.

Su Mo didn't have a reference for how much money she wanted, so she could only give it at the rate that her father would give her parents money for the New Year in later generations. Her father used to take half a month's salary and give it to the elders.

Lu Changzheng's half-month salary is more than 60 yuan, so Su Mo gave 20 yuan to the three elders.

For five children, they paid two dollars a piece. Lu Changzheng is the head of the regiment with a salary of more than 100 yuan, and he will give a red envelope once during the New Year, so there is no need to be too shabby.

In the middle of the afternoon, Geng Changqing came and took a lot of things. There were at least twenty or thirty catties of rice and white flour alone, and I also bought fresh pork and mutton, as well as wine and tobacco.

Geng Changqing basically eats in the canteen, and the amount of food himself is not large, plus he has 45 catties of food per month, which saves a lot, and this time he used it all for Su Mo.

"Your parents, have you sent anything for the New Year?" After putting things down, Geng Changqing asked.

"I sent it, and I took it over the Long March early this morning."

Geng Changqing nodded, just send it.

Seeing that there was no New Year's atmosphere at home, Geng Changqing helped Su Mo cut the window flowers and red paper and pasted them.

As for Spring Festival couplets and the like, there is no such thing.

Su Mo is a typical southerner, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he always wants to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. But here, she doesn't seem to have seen the ancestral hall, and it may be that this period is special and has been demolished.

After finishing this side, Su Mo and Geng Changqing carried their things and went to Lu's house.

The Lu family is very lively, a large family is gathered in the hall, the fire wall is warm, and they are making dumplings and chatting together. Even Lu Guihua, who hadn't shown up for a long time, was there, although she was a lot haggard, she had a smile on her face.

Seeing that Geng Changqing was coming, still carrying cigarettes, wine and meat in his hands, Lu Qingan hurriedly got up and took it, "Hey, Secretary Geng, it's good for you to come, why do you still take so many things." ”

Geng Changqing waved his hand, "Brother, I'm here as a relative today, just call me Changqing." ”

Lu Qingan smiled, after calling Secretary Geng for so many years, he was used to it, and he couldn't change his mouth for a while, so he hurriedly greeted Geng Changqing to the side to drink tea and chat.

Su Mo also took out the things she brought over, in addition to the snacks she ate, she also took a fish and about 2 catties of pork ribs.

After giving the snacks to the children, Su Mo helped make dumplings together, and after wrapping them, they went to the kitchen to help cook.

Four people, two pots started together, the speed was still very fast, and in more than an hour, the meal was served.

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is very hearty, with braised fish, braised pork, lamb soup, chicken stewed mushroom vermicelli, pork ribs stewed with potatoes, peanut stewed pork knuckle, fried tofu, and a large plate of stir-fried lettuce. The staple food is dumplings and steamed buns.

braised pork and fried tofu, which are prepared by the big house; peanut stewed pig's hand, which is from the second room, and I also took a few catties of white noodles; Braised fish, pork ribs, stewed potatoes and lettuce were brought by Su Mo; Lamb soup and chicken stewed mushroom vermicelli were made by Li Yuet'e.

Such a Chinese New Year's Eve meal will not be bad in the future generations, let alone now.

The children were already drooling, because Lu Changzheng didn't have to wait for him to explain, everyone ate first.

At about eight o'clock, Lu Changzheng also came back, drinking and chatting together.

Men chat, mostly about work.

Chatting and chatting, Geng Changqing revealed a piece of news, that is, the credit union is going to set up credit stations in several large brigades of Hongqi Commune after the New Year to assist them in cash management at the grassroots level. The Lujiacun Brigade, as an advanced brigade, will definitely have.

In addition to enjoying the average annual work of the entire labor force of the production team, there is also a subsidy of six yuan per month, and a bonus of dozens of yuan at the end of the year.

This bonus is related to the amount of money saved, and the more money saved, the more bonuses there will be.

If you do a good job, it is possible to be admitted to the credit union in the future.

Geng Changqing mentioned it here, Lu Xingjun still didn't understand, so he immediately toasted Geng Changqing, saying that he must prepare well, and when the credit station recruits people for the exam, he will definitely win it in one fell swoop.

He has been an accountant for so many years, and he often deals with credit unions, and if he prepares early, he is still very confident in himself.

As long as you are admitted, you will also be a salaried person in the future. Otherwise, the whole family will have no salary for him, and he will be really unhappy.

Sure enough, it's better to have someone in the family, know the news early, and you can prepare early.

Such news, once it is released, it will definitely be a head-break, those educated youths from the city, who don't want such a job.
