The next day. Early morning!
When Zhou Yang got up from the kang with reluctance, he found that it was already half past eight.
The reason why I woke up so late was that I worked too hard last night, and the second battle was still very taxing on my body.
What's more, Zhou Yang had been riding for several hours yesterday. The 212 small Jeep these days is not suitable for long-distance travel. The road conditions are not good, the seats are uncomfortable, and your bones will fall apart at the end of the day.
On the other hand, because all the production departments in the village have stopped working, there is no piercing whistle to call people to get up, so it is reasonable to wake up a little later.
When Zhou Yang opened the door, he found that it was snowy outside, and the yard under the thick snow was covered in silver, which was very beautiful.
In the yard, Chen Beixuan didn't know when he had arrived. He was waving a bamboo broom to sweep away the snow in the yard. He had already cleared a passable road in the yard.
"Beixuan, when did you come here?"
Chen Beixuan immediately walked over with a broom and said, "It's not even half past seven!"
"There's no need to be so early. It's already New Year's Day anyway, and there's nothing urgent to do. It just so happens that Shiqing hasn't reported to school yet, so you should spend more time with her!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"I'm accompanying you, but you can't delay your work!" Chen Beixuan said.
"Aren't you going to take your wife back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year this year?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Originally I wanted to leave, but I was afraid of any backlash from the admissions office, so I decided not to go back this year until next year!"
"That's okay, you wait for me to wash my face, and let's go to the office together!"
"yes!"
Zhou Yang quickly packed up, then said hello to Li Youwei, and rushed to Xipo with Chen Beixuan.
As soon as they arrived at Shahegou in the center of the village, they saw Cui Qianjin, Bai Yang and others driving a mule and carriage approaching.
After seeing Zhou Yang, Cui Jinjin immediately greeted with a smile: "Old Zhou, when did you come back?"
"What were you doing yesterday afternoon?" Zhou Yang said.
"Go to the county town and buy some red paper and ink. I plan to write couplets!"
"Hey, are you planning to celebrate the New Year in the village this year?"
"What if we don't celebrate the New Year in the village? The buses leading to the city from such a big snow county must have been out of service. Even if we want to go back, we can't go back!" Cui Jinjin shook his head and said.
Originally, he planned to go back this year. After all, he was admitted to university, which was definitely a big deal for them. Going back at this time can be regarded as a homecoming.
In fact, there are many people who have the same idea as Cui Jinjin. Everyone wants to go back and share their inner joy with their parents and brothers at home, even if some people have already written letters to their families.
However, there is a time limit for educated youths to go home every year. Generally speaking, the time for leave cannot exceed half a month.
More importantly, everyone wants to finish dividing the meat and take it home with them.
However, most of the time for killing pigs and dividing the meat in the village every year is on the 24th and 5th day of the twelfth lunar month. This year there are so many people in the village that the killing of pigs and dividing the meat actually takes two days.
After these educated youths received their portion of meat, the weather had changed and they had been stopped by heavy snow.
"Since you can't go back, just stay in the village safely. It won't be too late to leave after the New Year when you get the admission notice!" Zhou Yang said.
"It can only be the!"
Then Cui Jinjin said again: "By the way, Lao Zhou, everyone was caught in the snow this year and couldn't go home to celebrate the New Year, so Liu Lu and I discussed it and planned to organize a gathering for everyone on the night of New Year's Eve. , see if you can come then?"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "I'll try my best!"
Bai Yang also echoed: "Old Zhou, even if you only come to stay for a while, it's fine. To be honest, everyone is really grateful to you..."
"You've all talked about this. It's okay if I don't go. I'll go back and discuss it with my wife. If not, I'll spend New Year's Eve with you!" Zhou Yang said.
"That's great. I'll be back with more wine today. Let's have a good drink then!"
"OK..."
Hearing Zhou Yang's full agreement, Chen Beixuan on the side wanted to remind him: For your small drinking capacity, forget it!
But Chen Beixuan just thought about this in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud!
A few people chatted briefly, and then everyone went about their own business!
When Zhou Yang came to the research institute, he saw that the couplets had been pasted up and red lanterns were hung at the door. The festive feeling of the festival came to his face.
Seeing Zhou Yang walking in, the soldiers on duty at the door immediately raised their hands in salute!
As soon as he arrived in the courtyard of the research institute, Zhou Yang saw a large number of staff cadres and soldiers lining up here.
At the same time, the door of the large warehouse at the back was open, and many soldiers were moving things outside.
Arriving in front of the crowd, Zhou Yang caught a glimpse of Gu Chenghua and Qiao Weiguo who were busy.
"Lao Gu, Lao Qiao!"
Gu Chenghua and Qiao Weiguo strode over immediately after hearing Zhou Yang's voice.
"Finally here, I was planning to let someone find you!" Gu Chenghua said with a smile.
"What do you want from me?"
"Today is the day to distribute welfare products to staff and cadres. Don't you, the director, give you a few words?" Gu Chenghua said.
"Forget it about the speech. It's freezing out here, so don't keep everyone waiting. Just hand them out!"
"Okay! Then I'll let someone send it directly!" Qiao Weiguo said.
"Send it!"
Taking advantage of the gap between Qiao Weiguo's orders, Zhou Yang looked at Gu Chenghua and asked, "Lao Gu, have we purchased all the welfare products we have determined?"
"It's almost the same, but there's not that much fabric. Each person can only get one foot three, which is just enough for one person. But after discussing with Lao Qiao, I purchased a lot of Jiefang shoes." Gu Chenghua said.
"That's okay..."
At this moment, Qiao Weiguo had already announced the basic plan for the distribution of welfare goods to the staff cadres and soldiers present.
When the staff and cadres on site listened to the welfare distribution plan in the institute, everyone was shocked.
It’s not that I’ve never seen units hand out welfare products, but I’ve never seen them hand out so many!
According to the research decision of the institute, the welfare goods distributed this time cover all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation: including 25 pounds of pork lard, 20 pounds of rice, 50 pounds of white flour, 30 pounds of millet, two chickens, 5 pounds of eggs, 2 pounds of brown sugar, and white sugar 1 catty, 5 catties of dry goods such as fried twists, and two boxes of ham sausage.
In addition, each person can also receive 1.3 feet of fabric and 2 pairs of Jiefang shoes, as well as 1 thermos bottle, 2 towels, 2 soaps, and a box of colorful flowers.
In addition to these physical items, the institute also prepared a bonus of 50 yuan for each employee cadre.
More importantly, these benefits are available to all leaders in the entire institute, and the standards are the same.
Therefore, after Qiao Weiguo read out the welfare distribution plan, the scene suddenly burst into warm applause, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
Seeing the excitement on everyone's faces, Zhou Yang felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
The scene before him reminded him of his past life. Due to limited conditions, the lives of scientific researchers had always been miserable.
Especially after entering the 1980s, due to the lack of scientific research funding, everyone could barely make ends meet.
At the same time, with the reform and opening up, the authorities gradually relaxed controls on industry and commerce, and many people made money through doing business.
Ever since, there has been a funny phenomenon that selling tea eggs is worse than selling missiles!
Thinking about their previous lives, although they were scientists and national cadres, their economic income and social status were hard to describe.
Therefore, Zhou Yang wants to change this situation. He cannot control other units, but all employees and cadres of their Babaoliang Research Institute must live with dignity.
The prerequisite is that everyone can eat well, eat well and increase their income appropriately.
After Qiao Weiguo read out the distribution plan, welfare products began to be distributed in an orderly manner according to departments.
At this moment, Xu Linfang hurriedly came to Zhou Yang and said a few words in front of him.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang walked towards the office...
