Ever since he went ice skating with Lou Xiao'e, the two of them hadn't gone out to play. It was only once that Lou Xiao'e's mother invited Chen Jianbin to her house for a meal.
Because it was the new year again, the situation was not good to begin with. Every day, every unit was busy rushing to purchase supplies. Chen Jianbin was also sometimes sent out to fight for supplies.
He worked like this for half a month, but he didn't get off work early like before.
The factory was on holiday today because it was New Year's Eve tomorrow. Lou Xiao'e had come to the factory two days ago to look for Chen Jianbin. Because she knew that Chen Jianbin only had one cousin, she invited him to her house for the New Year, but Chen Jianbin rejected her.
I came back early to the courtyard house.
As usual, Third Uncle had set up a table at the door and was helping his neighbor write couplets.
Chen Jianbin walked over and watched Third Uncle write. He realized that his handwriting was getting better and better.
"Third Master, write me four couplets!”
"Why do you want four? Don't you have two doors?"
"I'll buy it for my cousin. He's probably out for the New Year this year.”He said that he was going to give 20 cents to Third Uncle.
With the couplet written by Third Uncle in his hand, Chen Jianbin stuck it up when he got home. Then, he tidied up the house and went out.
Chen Jianbin, who came to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some new year goods and returned to the small courtyard.
He didn't plan to spend the new year in the courtyard house this year to avoid any unpleasantness.
When he arrived at the small courtyard, Chen Jianbin pasted the couplet he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and cleaned the courtyard again.
He went to the tavern.
It had been a long time since he had come here to drink. Before he entered, he could hear the sparse bragging inside.
When they entered the tavern, there were quite a lot of people. When they came to the counter, they saw Xu Huizhen holding a child who was a few months old and playing with an abacus. Beside her feet was a five-year-old child drawing on the ground.
He ordered four taels of wine, a plate of sauced meat, and peanuts. He found Master Bull and sat down with him. Master Bull had been living a more stable life for the past year. He had become a little more mature.
"Master Bull! Come…there are two taels here!" Chen Jianbin said as he pushed the wine in front of Elder Bull.
"Jian Bin! Are you celebrating the New Year here again this year? Why don't you come over to my house together? Let's have some fun together. Your aunt told me to talk to you about this some time ago!”
Chen Jianbin thought for a moment and said,"Sure! Master Bull will be spending the year at your house! You have to take out your good wine!”
"Then we definitely have to take it out!"
After sitting in the tavern for a while, Chen Xueru came again and drank another two taels. When she returned home, it was already past ten o'clock.
The next day, New Year's Eve.
Chen Jianbin took a pound of pork, a pound of mutton, and some vegetables from the farm space and brought them to Uncle Niu's house. He saw that Aunt Niu was already busy in the kitchen.
Chen Jianbin handed the meat and vegetables to Aunt Niu and then drank tea with Master Niu. Although the furniture in Master Niu's house was not antique, it was obvious that it was well-made.
Not long after, Master Niu's son would return, and Aunt Niu's meal was ready.
Uncle Niu was in charge of setting the table, Chen Jian Bin and Uncle Niu's son were in charge of serving the dishes, and the last dish, Aunt Niu, came out of the kitchen.
Soon, a large table of New Year's Eve dinner was set up. There was meat, vegetables, and a large plate of dumplings. They were all home-cooked dishes. Chen Jianbin did not make a move. After all, he was here to celebrate the New Year.
"Master Bull, do you want to say a few words?”Chen Jian Bin, who was sitting beside Lord Bull, asked.
"I won't talk about it anymore. Thanks to you, there's still mutton. I have to get a bowl of soup first.”Lord Bull raised his glass and clinked it with Chen Jianbin.
He smiled and waved his hand to signal for them to eat.
Chen Jianbin accompanied Elder Bull to drink the good wine that he had hidden. Elder Bull's son also accompanied him happily.
Aunt Niu would also ask Chen Jian Bin from time to time when he would be looking for a wife.
After the lively New Year's Eve dinner, they sat at Lord Niu's house for a while before returning to their own room.
As he slept on the bed, he listened to the sound of firecrackers outside. The crackling sounds kept coming, and Chen Jianbin slowly fell asleep.
On the first day of the year 61, Chen Jianbin slept in the small courtyard for the whole day. There were only children running around outside.
On the second day of the new year, Chen Kabin returned to the courtyard early in the morning. Lou Xiao'e came to look for him. Third Uncle took him to the backyard to find Chen Kabin's house. When he saw Lou Xiao'e coming, the two of them agreed to go to the temple fair.
On the third day of junior high, Chen Kabin rested at home for a day. He had to go to work tomorrow, so he did not go out and stayed at home.
The next day.
The workers after the New Year,
They also arrived at the factory early and held a general meeting in the open space of the factory. After the meeting, everyone went to work at their own posts.
After the meeting ended, Chen Jianbin went to the kitchen to find Master Yang to get the list of ingredients for tomorrow. Then, he walked to Director Li's office. Director Li's office was on the second floor.
When he arrived at the door of Director Li's office, Chen Jianbin knocked on the door. He heard a voice from inside asking him to come in. He pushed the door open and walked in.
Chief Physician Li raised his head and looked at Chen Jianbin. He looked a little familiar, but he did not have any impression of him. He asked with a puzzled expression,"What's the matter?"
Chen Jianbin saw that Director Li did not recognize him and said,"Director Li! I used to work in the publicity department and now I'm a buyer in the kitchen. Didn't the factory buy a lot before the new year? I have an extra 50 catties of pork and 50 catties of mutton! Why didn't he let the leader see how to deal with it!”
When he heard Chen Jianbin's words, he stood up immediately.
"Is what you said true? Fifty catties of pork? Fifty catties of mutton?"
"It's true. How would I dare to lie to the leader!”
"Where? Where is it?"
"Director Li, the meat is in the woods outside the factory!" Chen Jianbin said.”
Chief Physician Li walked out of the office desk, walked in front of Chen Jianbin, and pulled him out. He even criticized,"You! Why did you put the meat in the forest? If someone else took it, the factory would suffer another loss!”
"Hurry up and leave! Quickly bring me to take a look!"
"Alright, alright! Department Director Li, I'll lead the way!" As he spoke, he walked in front and led the way out of the factory.
Ten minutes later.
When they arrived at the forest, Carson took a detour in front because he was in a hurry.
Chief Physician Li was five to six meters behind Chen Jianbin. Chen Jianbin found a very secluded place that was obviously suitable for hiding things.
Chen Jianbin placed the meat that he had prepared in the farm space on the ground and said to Director Li,"Chief Physician Li, come here quickly! The meat is here. There's no problem!"
Chief Physician Li also rushed over when he heard that. He looked at the two large sacks on the ground and quickly opened his mouth to take a look. Indeed, there was meat. He then looked at the other sack, which was also filled with meat.
"Good, good, good! Young man! You've made a contribution to the factory!"
Chen Jianbin saw that Director Li couldn't even call out his name, so he quickly said," Director Li, my name is Chen Jianbin! I bought this meat with my own money. I'll leave it to you to deal with it!”
"You didn't go through the factory's accounts?" Chief Physician Li asked.
"No, I paid for it myself!"
"Tell me about yourself! Why did you use your own money to pay for this 100 catties of meat? It's not like the factory doesn't have money. I'll give you how much money I paid!" Chief Physician Li said to Chen Jianbin with a blaming expression.
"Pork is 1.20 RMB, mutton is 8.6 RMB! He bought it from a fellow villager and didn't collect tickets. He even said that there would be tickets in the future!”
"There will be more in the future? Haha…It seems that it was the right decision to make you a buyer! Alright, I'll give you the money when we get back to the office! The factory won't mistreat you."
"You stay here and watch. I'll get someone to come and get it!”With that, Chief Physician Li left.
