On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Xiaobao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, estimated to be five thousand, which he bought himself.
I touched the phone next to the pillow in confusion. It was only half past six, so I got up early enough!
As the night passed, there were many, many blessings on WeChat text messages. The latest one was at 4:30, and the earliest one was half an hour ago.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and everyone’s biological clocks have become very messed up.
Bingbing has already arrived at her grandma's house, and there are many relatives. Although Qin Xiaobao misses her, it goes without saying that she has to chat and send videos on WeChat all the time, so that each other needs some time and space of their own.
I originally wanted to go back to sleep, but thinking that the city leaders were coming later, I got up quickly.
Pushing open the door, a gust of wind blew, making Qin Xiaobao shiver.
So cold!
When they got downstairs, they were a little proud to find that they were not the last ones. Yaya and the others were also surprised to see that they actually got up.
I have been here for a few days, and at least I have some understanding. Qin Xiaobao and Xiao Ma fed the dog first.
After coming back, Yaya had already prepared breakfast.
On the first day of junior high school, naturally we eat dumplings.
Not everyone eats a single food in the same way.
There are vinegar-only ones, soy sauce-based ones, mixed ones, and Laoganma’s ones.
As he was eating, he saw the pony grinning, with tears and runny nose running down his face.
"What's wrong?" Qiong Ting quickly wiped him with a handkerchief.
"Spicy..." Xiao Ma kept huffing and didn't bother to wipe his mouth. He stood up and went to the side to drink water.
Everyone knows that Xiao Ma can't eat spicy food. He looked at the dipping plate and saw that it was just soy sauce. He always eats dumplings one bite at a time, and there is no proof.
Qin Xiaobao suddenly applauded: "Congratulations to you, Xiaoma, you won the prize."
"Could it be?"
Everyone remembered that when making dumplings two days ago, Brother Xiaobao said that one of them was special, and whoever got it would be rewarded with a new mobile phone.
Everyone worked hard last night, but no matter how hard they ate or searched, nothing felt strange.
It's just leek, cabbage and pork stuffing, nothing else.
Ding Qiang was surprised: "Brother Bao, did you put chili pepper in it?"
Qin Xiaobao shook his head.
Qiongting, who was taking care of the pony, narrowed her eyes: "I know, it's mustard, it smells so strong."
"I remember," Ding Qiang slapped his thigh: "When I went to the supermarket that day, Brother Bao bought two pieces of wasabi, saying he was eating sashimi. Only now did I realize that we didn't buy sashimi."
"It seems that the one with the best luck in the New Year is Xiao Ma." Qin Xiaobao watched the big man come back: "Xiao Ma, congratulations, you won the lottery, what kind of mobile phone do you want?"
The answer surprised him.
Xiao Ma's choice is to change Ding Qiang's mobile phone. It's very simple for you. He doesn't know how to use a mobile phone. The two of them live in the same room and often use each other's mobile phones to watch cartoons.
Give Ding Qiang a new one and he can use the old one because he learned it with great difficulty.
After repeated confirmation, Xiao Ma was sure that Qiong Ting was a little strange.
Can I buy a new mobile phone of the same model?
Xiao Ma smiled happily and said that Ding Qiang had always wanted to buy a new model from Huawei, but he just couldn't bear it.
Everyone knew it, and whoever said Xiao Ma was stupid still knew it in his heart.
The two of them have been living in the same house for almost a year, and Xiaoding has taken good care of him. He sees them all, so naturally he won't be jealous.
After Qin Xiaobao understood the whole story, he waved his hand: "Okay, then I will buy Xiao Ding the latest model of Huawei. It will only take a few days until we go to the city."
"Thank you, Brother Bao."
"Don't be envious of others. Come on this year. When I come here next time, if you are still working here, everyone will have a mobile phone."
"yeah..."
"I've got the phone."
"I hope Apple will release a new model this year."
“The boss is awesome.”
After breakfast, everyone went to work. Qin Xiaobao and Yaya sat at the door and basked in the sun.
The snow outside has almost melted. In order to prevent the dog from getting dirty and catching a cold, he has not been let out for the past two days. Playing in the kennel can also consume energy.
The saying that when it snows, it becomes cold when it doesn't snow, it's absolutely true. Even with the sun in broad daylight, it feels chilly.
"We've already set off over there, and there are quite a few people there. Leaders from the Propaganda Department, Women's Federation, Disabled Persons' Federation, and Civil Affairs Bureau are all here." Yaya took out her cell phone and shook it: "We'll probably arrive at half past ten."
Qin Xiaobao nodded: "Did you tell me the specific purpose of coming, or did you just say to take a look and express condolences?"
"I'm talking about condolences, but I guess I also want to publicize it. Our farm was run by children from the welfare home. It solved the employment problem of some people. It doesn't matter whether they have physical defects or not, and it is a good thing.
Last year, the city allocated more than 70,000 yuan, which was pretty good."
Qin Xiaobao doesn't think there's anything wrong with Yaya becoming mature. In this society, naive people can't survive.
"Then what do we usually talk about when we meet?"
"Generally speaking, the leaders understand the situation on the farm, ask if there are any difficulties, and then help solve some problems."
"Do I need to cry miserably on purpose?"
"It's not necessary. The secretary often talks about it. There are many places to spend money in the city. Strictly speaking, our farm is not an organization that can be supported, so it is normal."
"I understand, have you said whether you want to stay for lunch?"
"I should do it. It's half past ten. I walked around until eleven o'clock. Then I sat down to drink tea and it was lunch time. It would take more than two hours to rush back." Yaya turned to look at the kitchen: "This is a bit
It’s troublesome, there must be a lot of people, twenty people are eating, it’s too busy.”
"Otherwise," Qin Xiaobao came up with an idea: "Ask the secretary and tell the truth, we are not a hotel either.
Isn’t it the New Year? I have harvested a lot of Chinese cabbage, and there is also lean pork belly in the refrigerator. Let’s chop it up. At noon, call everyone together and make dumplings together.”
Yaya thought it made sense and sent a WeChat message to her secretary. Within five minutes, a reply came. The other person not only agreed, but also supported it.
An expected result.
The two sat for a while and went for a walk to see that they were almost ready. They led two docile pastoral dogs outside the gate.
Three black cars drove in.
Qin Xiaobao and Yaya greeted them, and after a polite introduction, a group of people walked into the farm.
"Mr. Qin is indeed young and promising. Not only has he made good movies, he is also very caring."
"The leaders are joking, but they are just doing their part, and you are doing real things for the masses."
Similar to the above conversation, there was no further mention at the beginning. It seemed that the leaders really wanted to do something practical.
The questions asked were relatively routine, such as whether the employees had ever been accidentally bitten by dogs, and how much dog food they consumed in a day. Only a few people were too busy to handle it, but because of this, it was clear that they were sincere.
Perhaps because they had been live broadcasting for a long time, the employees were not nervous even if there were cameras around. Even Xiao Ma didn't panic when he was greeted by the leader and chatted with him happily for a while. His performance was very good.
Visit the kennel, walk the dog, feed it with your own hands, experience being a poop shoveler...
The leaders refused to drink tea in the conference room. After hearing about making dumplings together at noon, they all expressed great interest.
The atmosphere was great as we sat, chatted, and made dumplings. It didn't matter that the dumplings were not stuffed enough, and the noodles were delicious.
Qin Xiaobao was also interviewed by the TV station alone for ten minutes. The conversation naturally had nothing to do with the gossip entertainment industry, but mainly about the idea of establishing a farm and future plans.
With so many departments coming together, we will definitely not be empty-handed. We have prepared a lot of New Year's goods. The most important gifts are not these things.
Before leaving, several department leaders stated that they would increase their support for the farm this year, not only financially, but also in conjunction with surrounding counties and cities to hold large-scale "adoption instead of purchase" public welfare activities.
Yaya was so happy.
To put it bluntly, the farm really needs some financial support. Letting the dogs on the farm find their homes is the fundamental solution to the problem.
If relevant departments can come forward to organize, this is the support we really need.
Qin Xiaobao directly said that if he happened to be free during an event in the city, he could come over and help. This made the leaders even more overjoyed.
Everyone knows that compared to celebrities, their appeal to ordinary people is not the slightest bit different.
After the two parties shook hands happily, they said goodbye!
