Chapter 464 Brother, We Seem to Have Given You Too Much

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the 1980s, the flavor of the New Year was already very strong.

Li Ye, who had not yet left Beijing, was called home by Teacher Ke himself. He had a good family dinner and then stuffed him with many new year's goods.

Before leaving, Li Ye asked Teacher Ke if he wanted to come over for a walk in the second year of the new year. Would it be appropriate?

According to the tradition of flower growers, the second day of the Lunar New Year is also called "Son-in-law's Day". Son-in-laws who are engaged or married must go to their father-in-law's house with gifts to pay New Year greetings on this day.

The number and value of the gifts are linked to the son-in-law's age. The younger the son-in-law, the more and more expensive the gifts need to be.

For a decades-old son-in-law, a few ingredients and two bottles of liquor would be enough, and he would have a huge meal at noon, and most of it would end up in the stomachs of himself and his wife and children.

However, Li Ye and Wen Leyu just "discussed" that New Year greetings are required in some places, but not necessarily in some places. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the COFCO compound will definitely be filled with sons-in-law. Whether he is qualified or not depends on Ke What the teacher means.

But as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Wen Qingsheng, who was already eighty percent drunk, said: "Of course it's appropriate. How could this not be appropriate? I'll be waiting for you on the second day of the new year!"

Teacher Ke also looked at Li Ye and smiled playfully: "If you don't come to my place to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year, where else would you like to go?"

"Hehehehe, I was wrong, Aunt Ke, I was right on the second day of the new year."

Li Ye walked out the door with a smile.

And Wen Leyu, who sent him out, had a comfortable smile on his face.

Qingshui County is 500 kilometers away from the capital. It is still very troublesome to come over to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year. This makes it even more clear that Li Ye attaches great importance to the relationship between them.

However, although Wen Leyu smiled happily on his face, he said insincerely: "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry. You can come later. You have to set off from Qingshui County on the first day of the new year, and my parents don't I'll blame you"

Li Ye was much smarter in dealing with Wen Leyu. He immediately looked troubled and said, "No! If I'm at home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, people will think that I don't have a partner.

On the third day of the new year, the matchmaker came to my door with a beautiful girl. What do you think I should do? "

"."

Wen Leyu was stunned for several seconds, then looked at Li Ye and said word by word: "Although I know you are joking, I still want to beat you."

"Pfft~"

The small fist hit Li Ye's shoulder accurately and hard.

Why did Wen Leyu hit Li Ye on the shoulder? Because if you hit any other place, whether it is the chest, lower abdomen or forehead, it will hurt a lot.

"Oh, oh, oh, it hurts, it hurts, it really hurts, don't hit me."

Li Ye screamed in pain repeatedly, but Wen Leyu was addicted to the beating, and the strength in his hand was reduced by most, but the frequency did not decrease at all.

"Hey, look, is that your brother? Who is the other one?"

Li Ye suddenly took Wen Leyu's hand and pointed to a dark place outside the courtyard door.

Wen Leyu glanced over and saw his brother Wen Guohua's jeep.

Next to the jeep, a bicycle was parked, and a woman with long hair stood beside the bicycle.

Although Li Ye's eyesight is very good, the distance is a bit far and it is the darkest place, so he can't see clearly.

But Wen Leyu said softly: "It should be Ning Pingping."

"Ning Pingping?"

Li Ye took a closer look and found that she really looked like Ning Pingping.

Looking at Ning Pingping's bicycle again, thinking that it was almost nine o'clock, Li Ye figured out something.

As long as Wen Guohua and Ning Pingping were so sticky, it would have been impossible for them to block the door.

Li Ye asked in a low voice: "Ning Pingping is trying to block your brother? Is your brother pulling the plug to avoid him?"

Wen Leyu did not answer directly, but said quietly: "Sometimes, it is very torturous to be destined but not destined to be together. We know clearly that we can't be together, but we just can't let go and can't figure it out.

So you and I should cherish it, Li Ye, you and I almost missed it. "

"."

In the darkness, tears filled Wen Leyu's big eyes.

Obviously she thought of her past with Li Ye. If Lu Jingyao hadn't rebelled, if Li Ye and Wen Leyu hadn't been decisive enough, and even if Li Ye hadn't been good enough, neither of them would be where they are today.

Li Ye felt ashamed and wiped away Wen Leyu's tears, and whispered: "I was wrong, Xiao Yu. I will never make that kind of joke again."

"snort,"

Wen Leyu sniffed: "It's okay, you can just make a joke once in a while, I just happen to be practicing boxing.

One of our dormitory members recently joined the school's boxing club, and I also learned how to combine punches, a straight punch with the front hand and an uppercut with the back hand. I'll beat you up all over your face. "

"."

Wen Leyu's two little arms were dancing like tigers and tigers, and it actually looked like that.

Li Ye suddenly felt that Wen Leyu seemed to have mastered the password of his preferences. The combination of caring gentleness and fake savagery created a super perfect image of a little daughter-in-law.

. . . . . . .

The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month was the day Li Ye and a small group of eight people agreed to go home together.

As everyone enters their junior year together, it becomes more and more difficult for a small group of eight to have a routine dinner together.

Li Dayong is busy with Changbei, Fu Yingjie has a girlfriend, Hu Man becomes the head of the girls' department of the student union, Jiang Xiaoyan is busy opening a branch of her family's noodle shop, and Yan Jinjin and Han Xia meet each other's parents.

Everyone is busy, and everyone has their own small circle. It is very rare for eight people to get together. Many times, only Li Dayong, Li Ye and Wen Leyu have family dinners.

However, when we go to school and go home every semester, everyone's opinions are very unified, and we can go together if we can.

This year, Changbei Machinery Company just delivered a seven-seater Land Cruiser, which could fit everyone in. Li Ye wanted to come to honor his father-in-law on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so he decided to drive back and bring the car back on the second day of the Lunar New Year. .

Although taking a train from Qingshui County on the first day of the Lunar New Year can reach the capital the next day, Li Ye, who has owned a private car in later generations, believes that within 500 kilometers, a private car is still the first choice for traveling whenever you want.

But everyone had agreed, but on the afternoon of the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Dayong called and said that he might not be able to leave.

"Brother, the factory is still in chaos! Xiaohui and Guo Tianyong have gone home for the New Year. I might not be able to leave. I'll have someone send the car to you. You can leave with Hu Man and the others first!"

"Can't you leave?" Li Ye said strangely: "Isn't Changbei going on vacation starting today? You can't leave, can't you? Is there something going on with the management again?"

Li Dayong said bitterly on the other end of the phone: "The management did make a fuss for a while, but it didn't go as planned. The main reason is that we seem to have given too much and the workers don't want to take holidays!"

"."

After hanging up the phone, Li Ye called Tian Hongshan over and asked him to drive him to Changbei Machinery Company.

When I arrived at the factory, I saw that the machines were not stopped and the workers were not on holiday.

Tian Hongshan said with a smile: "When I came to pick up the goods before! The workers were also very motivated, but they can't compare with now.

Now they all look like model workers, how tired they are! Look, it’s already 4:50, and the machine hasn’t stopped yet! "

As for factories in the 1980s, regardless of whether they were state-owned or collective, after get off work at five o'clock, workers would stop at four-thirty, wash and wash, and wait until they get off work at that o'clock. Anyone who delays them for one minute will not be scolded for ten minutes. Relieving.

But if the plane doesn’t stop at 4:50, you will definitely not be able to leave at 5:00.

Li Ye looked at the tireless workers and didn't know what to say.

After a busy year, I asked you to take a long holiday during the Spring Festival, but none of you are willing to do so.

In fact, many people in later generations don't know that workers in the 1980s had "annual leave", which was authentic paid leave.

As long as you are a regular employee, you will have "employee leave" every year, which can range from five days to ten to fifteen days. Some older employees can even take longer.

On the contrary, in later generations when the economy is developed, annual leave has become a prestigious name, and it is getting farther and farther away from ordinary workers.

"Ling ring ring~"

The end-of-day bell rang, and the machines in the workshop gradually stopped, but the workers rushed to the canteen instead of going home.

"Do you still have to work overtime?"

Tian Hongshan said with a smile: "Isn't that right? Workers in the workshop are paid for their performance. The more they work, the more they earn. Now the production tasks have been scheduled for half a year. Why don't we all work hard to get rich?"

"What does it mean to get rich? Hard work."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Okay! As long as the management doesn't cause trouble, workers can earn more if they can! It's not like we can't pay wages."

In fact, according to Li Ye's experience, any company that encounters the situation of "workers getting rich" must adjust its performance and reduce workers' wages.

But Li Ye would never bring this business philosophy of treating workers like cattle and horses to the current Changbei.

It’s not like the factory is unprofitable, nor is it unprofitable. What’s wrong with giving workers a few extra steel bars? Isn’t there a fat man coming in the future?

At this time, an old man walked past Li Ye and Tian Hongshan and said hello to Tian Hongshan.

"Boss Tian, ​​are you coming to pick up the goods today? If you want to pick up the goods, please tell me immediately, otherwise I won't be able to arrange it for you after the office is closed."

Tian Hongshan smiled and waved his hand and said: "Master Liao, I won't pick up the goods. Our company is on holiday. I just came to see Technician Li for something."

"Technician Li is over there! Let me call you."

"Don't go, Master Liao, I want to ask you something."

Tian Hongshan was a man with a clear face and clear eyes. Knowing what Li Ye wanted to know, he immediately asked the old man: "Master Liao, aren't there any workers in your workshop who are unwilling to work overtime?"

"Yes, I have!"

The old man said: "There are indeed a few lazy people who don't know their last names after earning a little money, and they still have to take a long vacation. They just dragged them to the construction site to the east."

Master Liao pointed to the east and said with squinting eyes: "You can also go to the east and take a look at the foundation of the building. Construction started a week after the meeting that day, and the trenches were dug out in the middle of winter. Who the hell doesn't believe this?

But people have said that if the efficiency is not good, there will be no second-phase employee building. Now the production plan is only half a year away. If anyone messes up the efficiency and hinders the brothers, everyone can interrupt him. legs. "

"Let me ask you, who dares to take a vacation?"
