Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After the dinner, the factory suddenly became quiet. All the workers began to clean up and waited happily for the next day to get their wages.

The steel rolling mill’s holiday date has also been finalized, which is the day after tomorrow, which is the 27th day of the lunar year.

Tomorrow, the factory will hold a commendation meeting to commend those outstanding individuals. At this moment, the whole factory is filled with a happy atmosphere, and everyone's face is filled with bright smiles.

When he was off work, Liu Qingshan met a visitor from the textile factory, who was the logistics supervisor who was responsible for distributing benefits to the workers.

Although Liu Qingshan does not work in the textile factory, his contribution to the textile factory in the past two years has been significant.

Looking at the big package sent by Manager Qi, Liu Qingshan's gratitude was beyond words.

"Mr. Liu, I have finally completed the task assigned by the factory director. The factory director also asked me to tell you a message, asking you to visit the factory more often when you have time. You are also an important member of our factory." Manager Qi said enthusiastically.

"Please thank Director Lin for my concern."

The two men shook hands cordially, and then Manager Qi turned and left.

After get off work, Liu Qingshan hurried home carrying a bag of things.

After returning home, Feng Yu asked curiously, "Have you distributed all the things from your factory? I saw Zhuzi and the others, the first and second uncles all came back empty-handed."

"This is not sent by the steel mill. It was specially sent by the textile mill. They have been waiting for me at the gate of our factory." Liu Qingshan answered proudly.

"What good stuff are these? Open them and take a look!" Feng Yu was a little impatient.

"I'm just waiting for you to come back and watch it together!" Liu Qingshan said as he opened the bag.

After the bag was opened, the first thing that caught his eye was an envelope. Liu Qingshan carefully opened the envelope and found that it contained twenty yuan in cash, as well as some meat coupons, oil coupons, and candy coupons, which were all necessities for the New Year.

Then he saw a net bag containing towels, soap, laundry detergent, and an enamel pot.

Finally, there are two boxes of fragrant tea and a pack of the famous Daqianmen cigarettes.

Looking at the full bag, Liu Qingshan felt touched. Aunt Lin cared about him a lot.

"Wow, there are so many good things! You must go to your brother-in-law early to buy the things when the holiday comes, and don't miss the chance to queue up." Feng Yu lowered his voice and whispered softly.

"Don't worry, I know. I will ensure that the task is completed successfully." Liu Qingshan smiled and answered confidently.

"When does your holiday start? We will have a holiday the day after tomorrow." Liu Qingshan asked curiously.

"Well... we're about the same, maybe one day later than you. But even if we go, I guess there won't be too much to do." Feng Yu responded with a smile.

"Oh, so, then you should pack these things up first. Remember to bring some back for your father as well, and share it between the two families." Liu Qingshan rewrapped the items and handed them to Xiaoyu carefully.

"Okay, I'll put it away first." Xiaoyu took the things and nodded in agreement.

The next morning, as soon as I got to work, I could see a brightly colored banner hanging high above the factory gate with the eye-catching words "Celebrate the Spring Festival" written on it. Big red lanterns were hung on both sides, fluttering in the wind, which was particularly festive. When I walked into the factory, it was an extremely lively scene with lights and decorations, and the strong festive atmosphere was everywhere.

In the afternoon, most of the workers in the factory flocked to the meeting hall because a grand commendation meeting would be held today. This meeting not only means honor and recognition, but also, what is more exciting is that in addition to the rewards, there are also generous prizes waiting for everyone.

A few days ago, Deputy Factory Manager Liu Feng carefully prepared a batch of labor protection supplies and various bills as prizes, which are feedback and encouragement for the hard work of the workers.

Liu Qingshan was entrusted with a special mission - to accept collective commendation on behalf of the technical department. Originally, this task should have been undertaken by Section Chief Qin, but he resolutely gave the opportunity to the young and promising Liu Qingshan, hoping to give this junior more space to show himself.

That afternoon, after receiving his salary and benefits, Liu Qingshan couldn't wait to start his journey home.

The third uncle saw Liu Qingshan carrying a bag from afar, smiled, and took the initiative to greet him: "Hey, Qingshan, you're back from the steel mill? Look at all the bags you have, what good stuff did the factory give you?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and replied, "Nothing special, just some daily necessities, flour, cooking oil and the like. I guess all the factories are similar. I think the Jie Cheng family in your hospital should have received some too, right?"

Hearing this, Third Uncle Yan Bugui could not help but feel a little sour in his heart, and said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "Xie Chengfa doesn't have as much as you! It's better to be a cadre, it's really enviable."

Liu Qingshan could hear the jealousy in Yan Bugui's words, but he did not get angry. Instead, he proudly explained, "In fact, everyone's benefits are the same, but I performed outstandingly at work this year and won an advanced award, so I get more."

Yan Bugui responded sourly: "That's really amazing! No wonder he can get extra rewards." After saying that, he couldn't help but look at the package in Liu Qingshan's hand a few more times.

Liu Qingshan didn't want to argue with Yan Bugui about this matter, so after a few simple greetings, he went straight to the backyard. When passing by the middle yard, he saw a few children playing. He happily took out a few candies and gave one to each child. The children happily took the candies and kept thanking him.

After distributing the candies, Liu Qingshan continued walking home, his heart full of joy.

It was still early, and thinking of what his wife had told him yesterday, Liu Qingshan, holding a thick stack of bills, stepped briskly into the door of the supply and marketing cooperative again. He found his brother-in-law, handed him the bills, and said, "Brother-in-law, please prepare everything you need for the New Year according to these bills!"

It was the coldest time of the year, but the weather was freezing cold, so people didn't have to worry about food spoiling. So Liu Qingshan decided to buy everything at once to avoid running back and forth in the future.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, he rushed to the meat processing factory without stopping. Holding the meat coupons issued by the textile factory tightly in his hand, his heart was filled with joy. When he arrived at the meat processing factory, Liu Qingshan went to find his second sister and successfully bought several kilograms of fresh pork.

"Sister, come back early during the New Year to make dumplings with us. Look, I have even prepared the meat filling!" Liu Qingshan said to his second sister with a smile on his face.

"Good brother, don't worry. Your brother-in-law and I will go there early in the morning on the second day of the New Year to pay New Year's greetings. Your brother-in-law is too busy at work during the period before the New Year and really can't spare the time. I can't do without someone at home either, so I'll have to rely on you to take care of it. If there's anything you need, just go ask your brother-in-law for help." The second sister responded gently, with a happy smile on her face.
