Wang Shouzhi, Lian Qijian and the others did not show any politeness and hurried home.
They went out on the 16th day of the first lunar month and didn't come back until the winter solstice. It was a full 10 months. At this time, they didn't think about any work. They just wanted to go home and eat a hot dumpling.
When Wang Shouzhi came out of the company and drove the original van home, he thought that his wife was almost 4 months pregnant, and his heart felt hot. He was also going to be a father.
At this time, Wang Shouzhi only felt that his responsibilities were heavier. He wanted to make more money and give his children a better life.
"Continue to work hard in the coming year and strive to develop more new customers." Wang Shouzhi thought to himself, only in this way can he get more commissions.
She also discussed with his wife that she should not go to work next year and rest at home to raise the baby. However, his wife disagreed and said that even if she had arms and legs and couldn't walk, why would she stay at home dressed as a disabled person.
When I drove home, I saw the gate open and my mother Meng Yanmei’s electric tricycle parked not far from the gate.
Stopping the car and striding in, Wang Shouzhi could already hear the voices of his mother and wife.
"Hongxia, please sit down and rest quickly. I'll just make dumplings. You need to rest more now." Meng Yanmei said.
Meng Yanmei was extremely happy when she learned that her daughter-in-law was almost 4 months pregnant.
Wang Shouzhi naturally agreed.
Her son is becoming more and more successful now, and she is happy from the bottom of her heart.
If it had been done before, she would have given her son a scolding.
He called his parents last night and told them he would be home today, but he didn't know that Brother Jie suddenly gave them a day off.
On the other side, after Lian Qijian dragged his suitcase out of the company, he hailed a taxi directly on the roadside and drove to the county town.
Meng Yanmei stopped talking.
I used to wonder why my daughter-in-law was not pregnant yet, but good news came.
Her son and daughter-in-law came back yesterday. Meng Yanmei originally thought of asking them to go to the old house for dinner so that she could take care of them. However, it didn't matter to her that her son-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't go. At most, she would make two extra trips a day just to come here.
Cooking for my daughter-in-law.
…
Without that nephew, their family would not have the good life they have now.
"Really, then go wash your hands, come over and help make dumplings, and call your dad over later, so you two can have a good drink during the winter solstice." Meng Yanmei said proactively.
Unlike Wang Shouzhi, he arrived at Qingshi Town at around 7 o'clock this morning and had not returned home yet.
Wang Shouzhi smiled: "Mom, aren't I busy? The office in Beijing has just started to work. Brother Jie sent me to the best place. I will definitely work hard. Do you think this is right?"
When she saw her son come in, Meng Yanmei was still wondering: "Shouzhi, you don't go to work at this time, why did you come back all the time?"
After his son got married, his career was still booming. According to his son himself, starting next year, he will be able to buy a house in the county town within one year.
Now he was even more anxious to rush home and reunite with his parents.
Wang Shouzhi felt wronged: "Mom, Brother Jie gave several of our office managers a two-day holiday, and I came back to rest."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Yanmei nodded: "I should go there. You guys are going out after the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year is coming next month. I won't bring any of you back. Let me tell you how nice you are."
"Let me tell you, you can't skip work just because your cousin is the boss."
He also thought about giving his parents a surprise when he got home later.
He also told his mother that he would visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the evening.
When he didn't come back, Lian Qijian had been busy at work.
Homesickness seems to be a word that suddenly pops up in my mind every time I return to my place of residence after being exhausted from the office and facing an empty house, and then I fall asleep.
"Little brother, we're here." When Lian Qijian was lost in thought, the taxi driver called him.
Lian Qijian looked up and saw the Mingshi Mingdu Community in front of him. At this moment, he couldn't control it anymore. After paying the money, he quickly got out of the car, picked up his suitcase and ran towards the community.
When he took the elevator to the door of his home, knocked on the door, and saw his mother, Dang Wanli, who opened the door for him, he just smiled and called "Mom", but he didn't know that Dang Wanli was standing at the door crying.
When Lian Qijian saw this scene, he was a little dumbfounded and at a loss. He didn't know what to do at all.
It was his father, Lian Xuezhu, who heard the commotion, came out of the study and took a look, and found his son standing at the door, and his wife was also standing at the door crying. He suddenly understood what was going on, sighed, and came over to ask his wife Pulled into the house: "Qijian, come in quickly, why are you standing at the door?"
After a few minutes, Dang Wanli calmed down. Listening to her son telling the old couple what happened in Xinjiang, they realized that it was really not easy for their son.
"Qijian, if it's not easy to get along outside, you can come back. Your dad still has some savings, and we also have a store in the county. Let your dad give you some money to open a store." Dang Wanli said.
Many times, she feels that although her son has a successful career, he is still not as good as having her by her side.
When Lian Xuezhu heard this, he reprimanded her on the spot: "As a woman, please don't harm him. Qijian has such a good platform and allows him to develop slowly. It will be thousands of times better than opening a store."
Lian Qijian has matured through training in the past few years, and it is naturally impossible for him to change his goals just because of his mother's emotional changes.
"Mom, I think it's pretty good there. The last time Brother Jie went to Xinjiang, he even visited my place and talked with me about the future development of the company..."
Lian Qijian told his parents about Cao Shujie's praise and recognition when he went to his place, and his face was filled with a bright smile.
Lian Xuezhu listened to his son recount his experiences, and he was very satisfied with his son's actions.
"Brother Jie came here some time ago, and he told me about you there." After his son finished speaking, Lian Xuezhu told him.
Hearing what his father said, Lian Qijian was stunned for a moment: "Brother Jie has been here?"
"Well, your Brother Jie is indispensable during the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year. Remember to visit his house before you leave."
Before he finished speaking, Lian Xuezhu continued: "Forget it, I'll go with you then, and I'll go see my uncle."
Dang Wanli also said that she would also go.
"Okay, let's not talk about that for now, Qijian, let's have a drink together at noon today." Lian Xuezhu saw that his wife was not finished, and quickly interrupted her, asking her to make some dishes and make some dumplings to eat.
"Dad, I brought you some bottles of good wine for you to try." Lian Qijian began to unpack his suitcase.
Not only them, the other four people also couldn't wait to rush home and reunite with their families.
Once they left, they stayed outside for nearly a year. It was a lie to say they didn't want to go home.
…
Not to mention their joy of being reunited with their families, Xuemeng Food Factory became more and more lively as time passed.
Big red lanterns were hung at the entrances of the three factories, and strings of small red lanterns were also hung on the trees on both sides of the entrances, which looked particularly festive.
For those who didn’t know, I thought the Spring Festival had already started.
This time the annual meeting was held at the second factory.
In order to hold the annual meeting, a newly built workshop with no equipment installed was used as the performance venue. In order to prevent it from getting too cold, a heater was first installed.
Various colored lights and spotlights were also installed in the workshop, and a temporary stage was set up in the north of the workshop.
All kinds of audio equipment are professional equipment rented from outside, installed by professional staff, and tuners have been busy calibrating.
Safety officers personally arranged by Xu Cizong were patrolling around to ensure the safety of the construction workers.
Wang Zhifeng took the time to come over. After seeing that everything was normal here, he went to other places.
A total of 3,000 plastic chairs with backrests were arranged in a square array in the workshop. The workshop must be large enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.
At first, they considered finding a studio hall, but considering the large number of people attending the annual meeting, there was no suitable place in Pingyuan County, not even the guest house.
If you go to Yiling City, there are indeed suitable places, such as the gymnasium, but the problem is that there is more than 100 kilometers between Qingshi Town and Yiling City, and nearly 3,000 people go back and forth. Let’s not discuss the inconvenience issue. Personal safety is one Big problem.
After unanimous discussion, they finally put the performance venue in the workshop of the second factory. Although the environment was a little simpler, the meaning was different.
Everyone is very satisfied with this.
…
In a blink of an eye, the day came, the 24th.
When he came out of home in the morning, Cao Shujie didn't even bother to have breakfast. He went to the Second Factory first and walked around part of the factory area.
Then I went to the workshop to have a look and found that everything was clean.
He finally came to the workshop used for performances.
Seeing that everything was arranged at the scene, he felt relieved.
Cao Shujie also scratched his head when he thought that Mengmeng had to come out with him when he went out in the morning.
He didn't expect Mengmeng to wake up so early today.
The reason why Mengmeng followed him to the factory was because she still remembered that sister Xinyi was coming over today.
When Cao Shujie saw his daughter's persistence, at that moment he wanted to confess to his daughter that Xiao Xinyi might not come today.
But he didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he sent a message to Lei Jun: "Lao Lei, when you come here, you will bring your sister-in-law and niece to play with you."
Not long after, I received a reply: "Yes!"
Cao Shujie was relieved now that he could finally give his daughter an explanation.
Otherwise, he felt that Mengmeng would really get mad at him today.
Wang Zhifeng arrived earlier than Cao Shujie. When he saw his boss coming, he came over to say hello to Cao Shujie.
By the way, let me tell Cao Shujie about the layout of the annual meeting.
In Wang Zhifeng's words, everything is ready here, just waiting for nightfall.
"When will Andy come over?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Wang Zhifeng had already made contact with Hua Tsai Studio, and the two parties made an appointment to arrive at Xuemeng Food Factory on time at 6 o'clock in the evening, and Andy Lau's two songs were placed at the opening. ()
