The Pentium Era - South to North
Chapter 998 Tonight is New Year’s Eve
On New Year's Eve, everyone went early in the morning. Not only Zhang Chen and the others, but also several elderly people went with them. When the three aunts arrived, they asked where the kitchen was, and they all ran to the kitchen to help.
Xiao Zhao, Tan Shuzhen, and Wei Wenfang were today's chefs, but as soon as the three aunts came in, they thought they couldn't do this or that. In the end, the aunt became the chef, and they, along with their second-rate wife and Qu Tianlin, , became a helper.
The chef in the kitchen stood nearby and couldn't intervene. In the end, he asked Xiao Zhao and the others, what should they eat for lunch? The aunts said, "We don't care about lunch, we only care about the New Year's Eve dinner." The chef said, "How about we make steamed buns?"
Xiao Zhao and the others then started making steamed buns.
The three uncles were sitting on the sofa watching TV, drinking tea and chatting. After Lao Tan arrived, he played chess with Zhang Chen's father. Qu Tianlin's father also participated. The three of them agreed that whoever loses would stand up and play. Wheel war.
Lao Liu had no interest in chess at all, so he simply took the teapot, poured wine, ate peanuts and melon seeds, and watched TV happily alone.
The idiot was holding his child in his arms and watching the three of them skating in the south and north.
The most idle people were those men, standing here and there, smoking and bragging. In the end, they were tired of sitting, standing, and even smoking.
Fortunately, Liu Ligan brought a badminton racket. In order not to disturb the children's skating, they ran to a corner of the factory and started playing ball.
When it was almost noon, Meng Ping arrived, carrying more than a dozen salted ducks in his hands. Lao Liu was from northern Jiangsu, and his mouth watered when he saw the Nanjing salted ducks.
Meng Ping had met Lao Liu. When he saw him sitting and drinking alone, he gave Lao Liu a duck and told him, "Uncle, try this. It's from Zhuangyuanlou."
As soon as he came in, Liu Ligan saw him over there and shouted to Lao Meng. Meng Ping put the duck down and ran over.
Lao Liu picked up the duck and tasted it. As soon as he tasted it, he said it was delicious. He called the three chess players to come and try it. With the mentality of giving it a try, the three people walked over and tasted it. Sure enough, it tasted good, so they might as well play chess. Not wanting to drink anymore, he took the teapot and started drinking wine.
By the time Qu Tianlin and Xiao Zhao came over with steamed buns, they had finished eating three ducks and were almost full.
The men who were playing golf heard the greeting and came over to eat steamed buns and duck. They also started drinking. Only the few children who came to eat steamed buns said they were not hungry yet.
Several men, after eating and drinking, first walked to the yard and then walked into the factory building opposite. Work here was also suspended today. The workers had a rest and ran to the bathhouse on the street opposite Gongchen Bridge to take a bath.
The few men then walked out of the iron gate and arrived at the factory area outside. There was nothing to see inside, so they simply walked out of the factory gate.
This side of the canal is an abandoned industrial area that has stopped working, and is in a state of depression. However, the town opposite is bustling with people. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, there are still many people selling and buying new year's goods. A few men simply walk by. After passing Gongchen Bridge, we went to the opposite side.
Wandering on the street, they looked at how delicious this was, and how good that was, and soon they couldn't hold it anymore with both hands. Finally, they simply told a few vendors to close the stall, close the stall, we all want it here, wait here, we come back Come with us.
When they walked back to the end of the street, they were followed by seven or eight vendors, carrying burdens and laughing and joking behind them. Even they had never seen anyone buying things like this.
This large group of people entered the factory. Not only Lao Tan and the three old men, but also Xiao Zhao and the others were surprised and cursed, "You are going to die. How can you finish eating after buying so much?"
Liu Ligan said, it’s not just us, there are also workers. If they can’t finish the food, they can take it to the room and eat slowly.
Xiao Zhao and the others stopped talking. Lao Tan and the three old men were almost finished drinking. Seeing this situation, they came to pick some more things and continued drinking. Liu Ligan shouted to Lao Liu:
"Lao Liu, please take it easy. Don't get drunk before you even finish the New Year's Eve dinner."
Lao Liu's tongue was already big, and he said it was fine, so I drank slowly.
Everyone laughed, and Liu Ligan shook his head. He said it was okay. He could stay in this semi-drunk state for seven or eight hours.
A few men continued to play badminton. When they were tired, they sat down on the ground and chatted.
At around three o'clock, the Banmutian specialty store on Yan'an Road was closed, and Xiaojuan also rushed over. To Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao's surprise, Ge Ling and Ying Ying also came with Xiaojuan. Zhang Chen asked Ge Ling, "You don't have to have New Year's Eve dinner at home?"
Ge Ling said, my parents went to my grandfather's place, so I ran over.
Ying Ying shouted, "Me too, my parents went to my uncle's house for New Year's Eve dinner."
Liu Ligan asked, have Lao Ying and Director Ying reconciled?
"Why are they reconciled? They don't have much conflict to begin with. My grandpa is here, and neither of them dares to say a word."
"Is Lao Lao so powerful?" Liu Li asked curiously.
"Of course, I am a middle school principal. Do you think he is powerful?"
The three girls immediately helped set up the table. There were four tables in total. They originally wanted to place them in front of the place where the men played badminton. Zhang Chen's father said that it would be better to place them behind the sofa so that they could eat later. While watching TV.
Everyone thought it made sense, so they placed four tables behind the sofa. As a result, the children stopped working and said to Xiang Nan, "You are hindering our communication."
Tan Shuzhen pointed to the open space past the table and cursed: "Is there such a wide space, not enough for you to come and go? You are not a tank."
The three children laughed, and Zhang Xiangbei shouted: "Aunt Shuzhen, we are tanks."
Liu Ligan shouted: "Today is World Peace Day, and the tanks will also stop to celebrate the New Year."
At around four o'clock, Lao Wan came back with the workers. Zhang Chen asked Lao Wan, if Zheng Huihong didn't come, had she gone home or was she in Beijing?
Lao Wan said that she was still in Beijing and she had to work overtime. She would have dinner with Xiaoli and the others today.
"What are they doing in Beijing now?" Zhang Chen asked.
Lao Wan shook his head and said, she told me, but I didn’t understand or remember.
"I know." Xiao Zhao came over and said, "The last time I was in Beijing, Xiao Li took me to her place. They were helping the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to build a website. They did a lot, such as the online Chinese commodity trading market and online Chinese technology. Export Fair, China Investment Promotion, Online Canton Fair and China Foreign Economic and Trade, etc.”
"Are you okay?" Zhang Chen asked.
Lao Wan said he was very tired and didn't seem to be in a good condition.
"I think so too," Xiao Zhao said. "I'm not used to the food, and I'm not used to the climate. Especially, I have to deal with those people. It's all like hmm hmm."
When Xiao Zhao spoke, he put his hands behind his back and nodded frequently, imitating those people's behavior. Zhang Chen and Lao Wan both laughed.
Qu Tianlin came over to greet and said that the food was ready. Lao Wan quickly called a few people to go to the canteen together and moved the dishes that had been prepared in the canteen. After a while, the four tables were filled.
Qu Tianlin invited everyone to take their seats, and when the three old ladies and the chef also came over, they were ready to start the banquet.
The second-rate guy yelled, "Wait a minute."
Then he turned to his wife and said, "Cover the baby's ears."
Then they ran to the courtyard outside. Qu Tianjian and Wu Zhaohui understood and followed them out. After a while, there were violent explosions of firecrackers in the courtyard outside, smoke filled the air, and a strong smell of gunpowder came in from the outside.
The three people came back from setting off firecrackers, and the New Year's Eve dinner officially started. Liu Ligan walked to the two tables of workers and said to them, "You're welcome. You can pour the wine and bring the cigarettes by yourself. If you like Maotai, just drink Maotai." If you are not used to Moutai, just drink Wuliangye...
Before Liu Ligan finished speaking, Old Liu shouted loudly: "I'm used to drinking, as long as it's wine."
Liu Ligan's mother scolded: "I was drunk again. Did anyone ask you?"
Everyone at the tables laughed, and Old Liu also laughed.
Lao Liu picked up the cup and wanted to offer Lao Tan a drink. Lao Tan was startled and said quickly, "I don't dare to do it. Brother, I'd rather drink it to you."
"You are a good person, Mr. Tan. You are much better than that person." Old Liu pointed at Liu Ligan, "You accepted all the friends I brought and the materials I sent. You are very honorable to me. Unlike That person doesn’t even give him the respect of his own father.”
Old Tan smiled and said: "You have wronged Mr. Liu. If Mr. Liu said he couldn't accept it, I wouldn't dare to accept it."
Liu Ligan's mother scolded: "You old thing, you just don't know what is good and what is good. Tell me, where are you bringing all these messy people? How do you let people work?"
Old Liu chuckled: "They work, and I work too."
Liu Ligan quickly said: "Old man, you have retired honorably. Thank you and please, if you want to drink, there is plenty of wine at home, so don't worry about work."
Qu Tianlin's family didn't know what they were talking about. As soon as Zhang Chen explained to them, they all understood and everyone laughed wildly.
After a few rounds of drinking, red envelopes began to be distributed. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao distributed the first wave, Liu Ligan distributed the second wave, and Meng Ping distributed the third wave. As soon as everyone sat down, Qu Tianlin came to distribute the fourth wave. Finally, It was Wei Wenfang and Wu Zhaohui who made a fuss. Zhang Chen's father smiled and said, "This is a meal. I just stood up and sat down to receive the red envelope."
Ying Ying and Ge Ling laughed and said, "It seems that we got the right meal and gained a lot."
Before the meal was finished, calls came in one after another, first from Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, then from Chen Qihang and Lin Yiyan, and then from He Hongmei and He Dongmei.
Zhang Chen had just put down his mobile phone when the mobile phone rang again. This time it was from Lin Shuwan. Zhang Chen was still talking on the phone. Liu Ligan's mobile phone rang and it was from Sun Hou.
Almost at the same time, Qian Fang and the others also called Meng Ping.
Zhang Chen hung up Lin Shuwan's call, and Big Brother rang again. Zhang Chen asked, guess whose call this is?
Liu Ligan and Meng Ping said almost in unison, Li Yong.
Zhang Chen picked it up, and it turned out to be Li Yong. He was still on duty in the office, but not in Beijing, but in Qingdao.
"Li Yong, why did your office go to Qingdao again?" Liu Ligan came over and asked.
"Hou didn't tell you?" Li Yong asked.
"No, I just talked to Sun Hou on the phone, and he didn't say anything."
"This bastard, his eldest brother appointed Qingdao as the boss and brought me here." Li Yong said.
"Li Yong, what are you doing there?" Meng Ping asked.
"Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and Director of the Municipal Government Office."
"Fuck, I've been promoted. It's really a step up every year."
"A little, a little." Li Yong smiled.
