When the children heard that there were chocolates, they lost interest in playing and ran in shouting for chocolates.
Making homemade chocolate is more labor-intensive. First, stir cocoa powder and softened butter into a paste, and then cook it. After cooking, stir it until it is very smooth and smooth, and then pour it into the mold.
Xu Sui Zhuguang spent a lot of time on the first two steps, and finally used the mold prepared in advance to copy a chocolate keyboard. Before it could be refrigerated and finalized, the children came running in.
He quickly stopped me and said, "Wait a minute. Mom will make you a batch of chocolates for small animals. This mom will be useful."
"What's for mom?"
"..." Xu Suizhu was speechless.
You can’t tell your son: Your mother has been slapped in the face and needs to be eaten alive to save her life.
Lu Chixiao laughed at the side: "Mom said something wrong, and she wants to use this to punish herself."
"I know!" Nannan said loudly, "This is the keyboard of the computer. My father made a mistake, and my mother told him to kneel on the keyboard. Does my godmother have to kneel too?"
Mianmian: "Mom is so pitiful."
Zhuan Zhuan: "Mom, let me kneel down for you. Can you eat after you kneel down?"
"..."
In the end, the chocolate keyboard was still divided into pieces by the children.
She just ate a small corner.
Anyway, this can be regarded as swallowing the keyboard, right? Orz...
With the remaining cocoa powder, Xu Suizhu made a batch of heart-shaped chocolates.
The annual White Day and collective wedding day is coming soon.
She was unable to attend the blind date conference two years ago because she was overseas. She should make an appearance at the group wedding after the new year and present a loving gift to the newlyweds.
Of course, the homemade chocolates are just for fun. The official gift is a set of gold double-ring commemorative coins for lovers jointly created by Fjord Education Group and Ju'an Group - the edge of the coin is engraved with the commemorative date of 20010314 and the birthdays of both parties, like branches intertwined.
together.
Some young couples who met at a blind date, looked at each other, and are currently dating, heard that the newlyweds participating in the collective wedding this year will get a set of pure gold Lianlizhi commemorative coins, and they all expressed their intention to participate until next year.
.
When Xu Suizhu heard about it, she couldn't laugh or cry: "What about their family? They don't object to it? It would be better to get married when the relationship is natural."
"Don't mention it. My family didn't know there were commemorative coins before and they kept urging me. Who would object if I learned there were pure gold commemorative coins? I wish I could be the first to sign up." Lin Yujuan sipped melon seeds and ate them with her.
In fact, there are commemorative gifts every year. For example, last year it was a set of crystal cups, the year before that it was a heart-shaped crystal ornament, and the year before that it was a descendant barrel wood carving ornament... But this is the first time that commemorative coins are made of pure gold.
It's novel. Secondly, when the older generation (parents and relatives of the newlyweds) hear the word "pure gold", they always feel that the value is particularly high. In fact, in terms of cost, the gifts from previous years are not much inferior.
But everyone thinks that gold coins are good. This year, the number of newlyweds signing up for the group wedding exceeded the previous record, with 300 couples signing up.
Xu Suizhu was very surprised: "There are not so many people coming for blind dates, right? Why are there so many getting married?"
She made a rough calculation: Have many of her own people (employees from Fjord Education Group, Ju'an Group, Fu Group, Jiangcheng Shanhe) divorced this year? In previous years, there were up to seventy or eighty couples, plus other, brother units,
There are only about a hundred pairs in the fellowship unit, so why did it break through the three hundred mark this year?
"People from the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Civil Affairs Bureau, Tourism Bureau, and Taxation Bureau have not come to our blind date meeting before. They said that many of them have been dating outside, and they have also come to sign up for group weddings."
Lin Yujuan was well-informed and found out after just a little inquiry. She rubbed her chin and said, "I bet that at least half of them are here for the commemorative coins. Maybe they are improvised."
Xu Suizhu raised his eyebrows and said, "For a set of commemorative coins, so what!" He was not afraid of becoming a bitter couple after marriage.
"People don't think so. Anyway, the boss is old enough. He gets married early and late. Now he can get a set of pure gold commemorative coins for free. It's a sure profit! Fortunately, we made it clear to those units in advance and their employees came to participate.
For a collective wedding, their unit will pay for all the expenses. Otherwise, we will be taken advantage of."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Suizhu received a complaint call.
The financial section chief of the Tourism Bureau called with a bitter tone: "Teacher Xu, there are thirty couples in our unit who want to sign up for a group wedding this year. Please tell me first how much the entire event will cost, especially
It's those pure gold commemorative coins. How much does a set cost? I can report it to the leader, otherwise I'm worried that I won't be able to approve the money..."
"..."
Lin Yujuan snickered on the side and said to Xu Suizhu: Is the tourism bureau coming to complain? That’s it, other units will definitely come too.
Sure enough, as soon as the call was hung up, another call came in, from the Cultural Affairs Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Education Bureau... they all came round to complain about why the group wedding was so grand.
Xu Suizhu, one with two heads, wants to say something to them: Sister, do whatever you want, make it as grand as you want, sister is not short of money! Do I need your approval to give gifts to newlyweds? Who took the initiative in the first place?
Convenient for us?
She originally proposed this idea in order to give the faculty and staff working in the Fjord Education Group a sense of belonging. As a result, employees from other units were jealous, and it was said that some even switched jobs to the Fjord Education Group for blind dates.
Later, the leaders of those units came to discuss with her and asked if young people from their units could also participate in the blind date meeting. If they signed up for a group wedding later, they would also hold it together, and they could bear the expenses themselves.
In this way, the joint organization has been held for three or four years.
But in the past, there were many young men and women from various units who went on blind dates, but not many participated in collective weddings. Even if there was a girl/boy who fell in love with each other at the blind date, it was always held according to traditional weddings. It is said that the girl's parents
I don't agree, I think a group wedding is too hasty. However, this year, so many couples came out at once, it seems that the gold commemorative coin is really the "trouble".
Finally, some units may have made it clear to the newcomers: this year’s commemorative gift of pure gold commemorative coins must be paid for by the newcomers themselves, and other miscellaneous expenses will still be paid by the unit. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to other employees. After all, there are only a few couples, and both parties
Even less so if they are from the same unit.
As a result, some couples who were still in the running-in period and were eager to get married right away before they were deeply in love gave up.
"Who cares, love comes or not! If not, it's from our own unit. It's a good atmosphere with fewer people!" Lin Yujuan said cheerfully.
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
Xu Suizhu thought that's it! Anyway, group weddings are held every year. If you can't make it this year, it will be the same if you sign up next year.
In the final analysis, she has no obligation to take care of her own employees, but she has no obligation to take care of other employees.
