Chapter 234: Distributing New Year’s Goods

"Mom, my sister is doing well. She is a regular worker at the chicken farm, and her job is better than the second son's.

I heard from the director of their chicken farm that my sister seems to have made great contributions to the chicken farm and has recently received a reward.

My sister is doing well there, don't worry. I think she looks much better than when I first saw her. Not only is she whiter, but she is also very beautiful.

At first glance, she looks 50% like her mother and 50% like her father."

Gu Zixi talked about Xia Zhi's current situation, and these words made Gu's mother's eyes immediately warm.

"Oh, when I saw her last time, she was thin and small, and she didn't like to talk. She always lowered her head. It's good that she is better now.

This child must have suffered a lot outside these years. You are the older brother. When you have time, you have to go to see your sister and take care of her. Do you hear me?"

Gu's mother was talking to herself, obviously thinking of this little daughter.

Gu's mother couldn't help but be full of brilliant light on her face.

Gu Zixi had to follow his mother's topic and said a lot of good things about Xia Zhi.

Mother Gu was too weak, and she was so tired that she gasped for breath after talking for a while.

And she coughed from time to time.

It was the kind of cough that made it hard to breathe.

Gu Zixi held back his tears.

Watched his mother fall asleep.

Sitting there motionless.

What should he do? His mother's body was in such a state, and he was powerless.

Father Gu winked at him, and the two of them opened the door and quietly climbed to the hillside behind.

"Tell me, what's going on? You can lie to your mother with those words."

Gu Zixi told the whole story of how Xia Zhi saved him, and the tense situation between Xia Zhi and Gu Zhaolin, and then repeated what Xia Zhi said to him.

After listening, Father Gu had a deep look in his eyes and sat there without saying a word.

"Dad, is there any misunderstanding here?

I feel that Xiaoxia seems to have changed a lot since the last time we met.

And I obviously feel that she has a deep hatred for me and Zhaolin.

That hatred is not fake."

"And what she said to me that day made me feel that there are some things here that we don't know at all. Is there any mistake in the information Xiaohan conveyed to us?"

Father Gu shook his head helplessly. Even if there is a misunderstanding, we don't know why.

"Xiao Han hasn't written to us recently, even if we sent her a letter, she hasn't written to us.

The last letter she wrote to us said that Xia Zhi caused her to lose her job, and she has married Ding Jiannan, and asked us to take good care of ourselves in the future.

She has no chance to help the family."

"I also think there is something wrong. We all knew about the engagement between Ding Jiannan and Xiao Xia at the time.

How could it suddenly become Xiao Han? And the Ding family promised us well at the beginning, but now they suddenly changed their minds. I don't know what happened.

And Xiao Xia actually came here now, so you can imagine what happened to him there. It's just that we don't know."

Father Gu thinks a lot.

"She is your sister anyway. Although she hates us, as her brother you have to take care of her. We may not be able to help her with anything else.

You know the situation of your mother and I. We have no freedom at all.

Go see your sister from time to time. If she needs help, do your best to help her."

Gu Zixi nodded,

"Dad, I know, but I may not be able to help her much.

In fact, I am not as well off as my sister now. My farm is just like that. My sister should have a better life than me.

I will go to see her from time to time, but it is very likely that I will keep my distance from my sister. Keeping a distance from her now is actually the best thing for her."

Both father and son were silent. With their current status, they really couldn't do anything well, and it was easy to implicate others.

Before dawn, Gu Zixi set off on his journey home.

It was the Chinese New Year. After entering the twelfth lunar month, all the chickens in the chicken farm were slaughtered and sent to deal with the supplies for the Chinese New Year.

The chicks in their chicken farm have not grown up yet, so the work at the chicken farm is the easiest time.

The factory director excitedly called everyone to the office. Looking at the materials piled against the wall, everyone's face showed a happy look. It was time to distribute the New Year's goods.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile.

There was no way, the New Year still made people feel happy, and they could also take a holiday during the New Year.

Although the factory would take turns on duty, basically one day of work would give you five days off.

"We called everyone here today because we all know that we are going to distribute New Year's goods and prepare for the New Year. It is already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The New Year's goods were distributed today, and from today on, our chicken farm will officially enter the New Year's holiday state. There are 14 people in total.

The duty roster has been listed, and two people usually need to work two shifts a day.

Everyone will take turns on duty according to the duty roster.

This duty roster will be assigned until the 16th day of the first lunar month."

"Okay, I won't say much nonsense. If there is a holiday adjustment, everyone can discuss it among themselves. The rest is to distribute New Year's goods and everyone will go back to celebrate the New Year."

Immediately, everyone cheered. Xia Zhi was holding the things in his arms, not to mention that they were treated well at this time.

A bag of candy, a bag of melon seeds, a bag of peanuts, and a knife and two pounds of pork, a chicken, and half a pork elbow.

Five pounds of white flour, 20 pounds of cornmeal, and half a pound of rapeseed oil.

This thing is the best new year's gift for anyone.

Xia Zhi carried her things back to the dormitory. She will be on the first shift tomorrow and can rest after her shift tomorrow.

Li Xuemei came to her house instead holding her things.

"Xiao Xia wants to discuss with you how about we switch classes?"

Xia Zhi smiled,

"Okay, Sister Li, do you need to say this?

I'm not going home, and I don't have anywhere to go anyway. If I work two shifts for you, it won't be a problem. "

Li Xuemei and the others are locals, so they must go home to celebrate the New Year.

Especially since the locals on the duty schedule are on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the second day of the new year is naturally a bit inconvenient.

No matter what happens on the first and second day of the Lunar New Year, we have to visit relatives.

"Okay, Xiaoxia, let's make an agreement. It happens to be my shift on the first day of the new year, and you can take over my shift for the whole day."

When Li Xuemei heard this, she smiled and thanked her.

The main reason is that many people don’t want to go to work on the first day of the Lunar New Year because they don’t have any relatives at home.

"I understand, Sister Xuemei, please come back quickly."

Xia Zhi put the things away and thought about it for a while.

In fact, these things are enough for one person to celebrate the New Year, but some things cannot be put away.

For example, this pork elbow and pork must be stewed in advance, otherwise I'm afraid it won't last for a few days.

Fortunately, I have a day shift tomorrow, so I have time the day after tomorrow. At worst, I can fry the pork into meatballs myself.

As a result, Gao Yanbin, who was next to him, also walked in excitedly and placed a bunch of New Year's goods in his arms on the Xia Zhi table.

"What are you doing?"

"Won't you send it home?"

Gao Yanbin shook his head,

"What are you sending? My home is thousands of miles away. Where can I send it? I just want to ask you a favor."
