Chapter one hundred and seventy seventh leather fence
After the Spring Festival in 1984, in addition to the songs on the Spring Festival Gala, there was another song that became popular in society.
That is "Late" sung by Liu Wenzheng.
If the title of this song is used to describe the desire of idle young workers in service companies to participate in real work, then it is probably the most appropriate and vivid allusion.
Because even though for several months, the remaining twenty-odd young workers have not had to do anything all day long, they have been able to receive their wages without any worries and enjoy all the "pure happiness".
But they are compared with their peers who were once in the same situation, but now they are becoming richer and busier.
Such a "leisurely life" will immediately appear dull and boring.
On the contrary, the meager income that remains unchanged every month makes it difficult for them to feel the superiority of socialism, and they become increasingly inferior to others.
The same idleness every day also made them feel tired, and their bodies began to be filled with an inexplicable irritability.
Therefore, as early as before the Spring Festival, these young workers who had given up their job opportunities twice had no interest in playing cards and reading newspapers all day long.
Almost all of them are in a kind of depression of sitting on the bench, and regret of fulfilling other people's needs.
People are actually like this. On the basis of food and clothing, the source of happiness has nothing to do with how much you have. The most important thing is comparison with others.
And the more your companions have been in a similar situation to yourself, the harder it is to accept that the other person is better off than you are.
So just as Hong Yanwu expected, these "idle people" who had clothes to put on, food to eat, and mouth to open began to become unable to stand or sit still, and began to make "little moves" in private.
Some people came to him to beg him, and some took the initiative to find Shui Qing.
It's all just for one thing, no one wants to live in vain anymore.
They all hope to end this empty, boring and stuck-in-the-spot days as soon as possible.
It's just a pity that the two couples have already discussed it, and no one can make this decision until the time comes.
No gifts were accepted, and each of them just responded with words like "think of a solution," "wait patiently," and "we'll talk about it after the holidays."
Let every member of the "leisure group" return home disappointed.
In this way, after the Spring Festival, when Shui Qing and Hong Yanwu finally expressed their intention to make work arrangements for the last group of young workers.
These boys, who have been so fed up that they are almost driven to despair, look at the couple now, and it is like looking at the Tathagata Buddha who shows great kindness and the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.
It is precisely because of the lessons learned from the past that everyone in the "leisure group" cherishes this long-awaited job opportunity. How can they dare to be picky at all?
I shed tears of gratitude, and I agreed no matter how harsh the conditions were. No one wanted to miss it again.
And this perfect ending scene actually happened on February 16, the day of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
That afternoon, all the employees of the service company had no work. They all gathered in the training room and had one last tea party.
This was naturally Hong Yanwu's idea.
He believes that doing so has three advantages.
1. The leisure days of young workers originally started with tea parties, and now they also end with tea parties. This is called having a beginning and an end.
What's more, after such a long time, there is already a big gap between those who have errands and those who are idle.
Now let some of the poor and unlucky people sit and watch the other people's fatness dripping with joy.
Isn't this the best way to teach by words and deeds?
So what should you do after you receive a job? Still can’t figure it out?
Second, holding this tea party can also solve the problem of gifts sent by young workers after the holiday.
Those high-end foods are indeed good things. They are not cheap, but they are also a big trouble.
If you don't accept it, it will hurt people's feelings and betray the feelings of the young workers.
Just accept it. You can't eat it, and it's also suspected of corruption and bribery. It's easy to tell the truth.
Well, why not just register it, take out everything, have this tea party, and share it with everyone.
This not only shows the magnanimity of a leader, but also does not destroy things, and avoids disputes.
Third, this coincides with the Lantern Festival, so we should have a holiday and celebrate.
It is a pity that the country did not give any traditional holiday holidays at this time. The Lantern Festival only exists in the hearts of ordinary people, and essentially has no special characteristics of a holiday.
It is also very hard for young workers once they join the "candied haws group".
Not only do I consciously work overtime on weekdays, but my rest days are also moved to non-weekends in order to create profits.
In this case, it is better to consider the needs of the employees and take this opportunity to let everyone go home early for the festival.
In addition, the company will spend a few hundred yuan to buy some "Jinfang Lantern Festival" to give employees some holiday warmth.
By the way, give a copy to the factory leaders and heads of various departments, which can be regarded as a good sale and flattery.
Isn’t this just killing three birds with one stone, so why not do it?
Don't tell me, this is indeed a good idea.
When Shui Qing heard this, he happily allocated the money. He was so happy that he patted Hong Yanwu on the shoulder and praised him greatly.
It's just that the words are a bit unheard.
A witticism about "leather fence - watertight" and a comment about "dog-headed military advisor" put him in the "dark category".
This made Hong Yanwu feel a little resentful.
I secretly lamented that beauty can only come from keeping a distance.
The couple is close enough, but once they see it too clearly, it is no longer romantic...
Anyway, no matter how you put it, when the Lantern Festival comes, the tea party will really look like that.
The house is not only decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, but also with flowers and flowers.
The twenty desks put together were also filled with high-end snacks and candies.
There are also more than 40 boxes of assorted Lantern Festivals that have been packed and wrapped in red paper, and are piled into a small mountain next to them.
In this situation where flowers are blooming, when everyone gathers around to sit down, the festive atmosphere can be summed up in one word - full!
But it is indeed interesting. As expected, the two groups of young workers sitting on the chairs showed great differences and clear distinctions.
The "candied haws group" is particularly active and relaxing.
The beaming Zhang Luo said, "The hazelnuts and pine nuts are from me. They are all fresh this year. Everyone should try them."
The other one also said with a smile on his face, "These 'Gold Coin Chocolates' and 'White Rabbit Toffees' were bought by me specially from someone shopping in Shanghai. Everyone, please be polite and greet them."
And even the smoke they exchanged with each other has been upgraded.
What everyone took out was either "Dachongjiu" or "Daqianmen", as well as "Phoenix" and "Peony".
On the other hand, the "casual group" is more repressed and restrained.
They were so curious about the delicious food and drinks that they were scratching their heads and eager to reach out and have a good taste.
At the same time, I was smoking the "Beihai" in my pocket, feeling a little restless and feeling inferior, afraid of reaching out and falling on my face, and really didn't know how to deal with myself.
Of course, I must be amazed in my heart.
Because the more they get to know these former companions, the less they can believe the changes in these former companions.
How come so many people are so different in the blink of an eye?
Without exception, all of them are extremely rich and extremely wealthy?
The most unexpected shock came from Zhu Zhenfan.
Because even though he didn't smoke, Zhu Zhenfan knew that there was going to be a tea party, so he specially bought a "good friend" for everyone to treat.
These are high-end foreign trade cigarettes priced at RMB 91 per pack. A pack of cigarettes costs RMB 19. Those are foreign exchange coupons!
How could this make those young workers who had laughed at Zhu Zhenfan because of his poor family feel so embarrassed?
Especially Duan Gang, he remembered what he said two months ago when he insulted Zhu Zhenfan over a box of "Beihai".
My face is as red as a cooked crab, how can I still have the nerve to reach out?
However, Zhu Zhenfan was very interesting. When he was giving away cigarettes to two groups of people, he took the initiative to throw a box to Duan Gang in full view of everyone.
Think about it, how did this kid feel when he reached out and took it?
Fortunately, he laughed at the poor state of others at the beginning, but did not realize that he was the real poor person.
Alas, there is no harm if there is no comparison.
You are not as good as others inside and outside, you are embarrassed!
