Chapter 256 Spring Festival

The family celebrated New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year in a lively manner. Early in the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Weijun took Tian Yufeng back to Tianjiazhuang.

The Lu family has few relatives, and Chow Huilan's only biological father also had a falling out.

There was really no need to visit, but under Lu Changqing's persuasion, after Zhou Weijun and the others left on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Huilan still went to buy four gifts and took Lu Changqing and Yaoyao back to the rest house.

During the New Year, the Zhou family was much more lively than theirs. The courtyard was full of greetings and welfare packages from various units. When Zhou Huilan and the others came back, Zhou Zhenhai, who was watching TV, didn't even turn around. Hu Manxiang just opened the door.

Then he went back to the kitchen.

Zhou Huilan put down her things, turned around and left.

"Grandpa!"

Only then did she realize that Yaoyao had somehow managed to run to the sofa and threw herself into Zhou Zhenhai's arms.

"Oh! Grandpa's good grandson!" Zhou Zhenhai's voice was trembling.

But Zhou Huilan, who only saw his back, actually didn't want Yaoyao to be intimate with him. He didn't care that he and Zhou Weijun were his children. It was his choice. Since he made this choice, he shouldn't think about family ties anymore.

But she seems to have overlooked that Zhou Zhenhai was actually a kind enough elder when Yaoyao was growing up.

Seeing that it was someone of the same sex, Zhou Huilan immediately relaxed a lot. Just when she was thinking about what Wang Xiaoyan was doing, Wang Xiaoyan had already walked to her table, pulled up a stool and sat down.

Lu Changqing heard that she was almost furious, and then he said: "Although he is not qualified to be a father, Yaoyao's attitude is that he is qualified to be a grandfather. You can choose not to recognize this father, but we cannot take away Yaoyao by force."

Do you think Yao is qualified to be loved by grandpa?"

"General Manager, I have something to tell you."

Lu Changqing drove the car, but he couldn't help but feel the corner of his mouth rising, "Don't worry, the Chinese New Year has just passed, if there are melon seeds at home, if you think they are delicious, you will have to eat those twelve kilograms until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This one is selling like crazy."

Time, most likely it will be after the Lantern Festival."

The person who came in was Wang Xiaoyan, a female worker in the factory who was responsible for picking melon seeds. She was still unmarried in her twenties, but she was quite good-looking. There were always gay men willing to help her when she was doing the work, so her life in the melon seed factory was smooth.

Lu Changqing turned the steering wheel and stopped on the sidewalk near the newsstand.

But it was still cold outside after all, so it was enough to watch it for so long.

However, the factory was not busy when we just returned to work. The first day's task was still cleaning.

Although she is a pregnant woman, she still needs to take care of her personal image.

Zhou Huilan sat up holding the table, straightened her clothes, and then shouted outside, "Come in!"

In more than half an hour, a total of seven groups of customers came to the newsstand. Except for one group who only bought wine, the remaining six groups each took away a box of melon seeds.

Tian Yufeng told her all this. Zhou Huilan didn't go to the workshop very often because she was pregnant, so she wasn't very familiar with the workers. She knew her because she was really pretty.

Zhou Huilan raised her eyes and looked at the other party questioningly.

"Look! Our delicious melon seeds!" She pointed it out to Lu Changqing with some excitement.

It was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in the factory when work started. Zhou Weijun and Tian Yufeng finally made it back to their hometown. Zhou Huilan originally said that they would not come back until the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Now Lu Changqing and Zhou Huilan could only go together to greet them first.

His harshness and extreme attitude towards Zhou Huilan and Zhou Weijun were not seen at all on Yaoyao, who was completely a kind and kind grandfather.

But calm down, what Lu Changqing said is indeed correct.

There were many boxes of gifts placed outside the newsstand, mostly wine and milk powder. The only packaged delicious melon seeds were mixed in among these high-end gifts, but they stood out.

As soon as Lu Changqing put out the fire, he saw a man and a woman wearing big fur collars and leather jackets walking to the newsstand. They quickly bought two bottles of wine and a box of melon seeds and left.

Lu Changqing was greeting people outside, while Zhou Huilan sat in Zhou Weijun's office. As soon as she found a comfortable position to lie down, someone knocked on the door outside.

There was nothing going on, so Lu Changqing put the seat back and patiently watched with Zhou Huilan.

The two of them drove out of the rest house and while they were waiting for the red light at the intersection, Zhou Huilan saw her own box of melon seeds at the door of the newsstand on the roadside!

"Why did you drag me out? I have to let Yaoyao go with me!" Sitting in the car, Zhou Huilan was still a little angry.

Zhou Huilan didn't understand, and was even a little angry. She raised her foot and wanted to pull Yaoyao over, but Lu Changqing held her hand, frowned and shook his head gently.

Wang Xiaoyan cleared her throat and spoke in a fierce voice: "General Manager, I heard from other workers in our factory that you gave everyone a red envelope and a box of melon seeds as New Year's benefits for overtime work before, but...

You missed me, I’m here today just to collect my share of benefits.”

"Before the holiday, my elder brother and I calculated that there are still 5,000 kilograms of melon seeds in the factory. The 12-kilogram small box can still hold less than 500 boxes. There are more than 200 boxes left in the small boxes that have been packed. That's it.

We are stocking up. If our melon seeds really sell out, this little supply will definitely not be enough."

Zhou Huilan thought about this and settled down and stopped thinking about it.

This is the truth, but Zhou Huilan is still angry, or...she is even a little jealous of Yaoyao.

While Zhou Huilan was stunned, Lu Changqing dragged her out of the house. Before leaving, he told Yaoyao to pick her up in the evening and dragged Zhou Huilan away without staying any longer.

Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment before she realized that the benefits she was talking about were additional subsidies later given to overtime workers. At that time, Zhou Weijun said that there were a total of six workers in the factory, and five of them had been notified of overtime work two years ago.

Five people came back to work overtime, so the benefits, that is, five benefits, have been paid.

After thinking about it clearly, Zhou Huilan smiled and said, "The benefits for the Spring Festival have already been distributed when you left the factory."

"No, I'm talking about the 20-yuan red envelope that one of them got and the box of melon seeds. I didn't get that portion!" Wang Xiaoyan had obviously heard about it clearly, and now she spoke even more plausibly.

Although twenty yuan and a box of melon seeds are not very valuable things, Zhou Huilan got excited when she saw Wang Xiaoyan coming to argue, "I told you, that's the overtime pay for workers who came back to work overtime a year ago.

It is not a unified overall welfare in the factory, so you did not come back to work overtime a year ago, so this welfare is not yours."
