Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

The pork is rosy in color and exudes an enticing aroma; the white flour appears exceptionally white in the sun, as if telling the beauty of the New Year.

The staff responsible for distributing New Year's goods were dressed in work clothes and helmets, busy shuttling among them. Some of them were checking lists, while others were carrying goods. Fine beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, but their faces were filled with smiles.

"Those below level 4, please line up here, come one by one, don't be in a hurry." The staff shouted loudly.

The workers obediently lined up in a row, their eyes fixed on the New Year's goods in the warehouse, their eyes full of anticipation.

When the first worker below level four stepped forward, the staff carefully checked his name and work level, and handed him a pound of pork and five pounds of flour.

The worker carefully took the New Year's goods, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he kept thanking the staff: "Thank you, now we have something to spend the New Year on."

As the team slowly moved forward, the workers from level five to level seven also received their share of New Year's goods in another warehouse.

After they received two kilograms of pork and eight kilograms of flour, the joy on their faces became even more intense.

Some workers gently patted the bags of flour, feeling the heavy happiness; some workers leaned close to the pork and smelled it, as if they had already smelled the fragrance of the New Year's Eve dinner.

The eighth-level workers and cadres were also filled with emotion when they received three kilograms of pork and ten kilograms of flour.

An old eighth-level worker took the New Year's goods and said with emotion: "The factory is really good to us. These New Year's goods are enough for us to have a prosperous New Year."

The young cadre next to him nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is the result of everyone's hard work for a year."

After receiving the New Year's goods, the workers did not leave immediately.

Some of them stood aside, comparing their New Year's goods with their fellow workers; others were discussing how to make better use of these New Year's goods so that their families could have a happy New Year.

The entire warehouse was filled with a joyful atmosphere, with everyone's laughter echoing in the air, as if a grand festival celebration was being held here.

The sunshine shines on the workers, reflecting their happy faces and adding a touch of warmth to the upcoming New Year.

However, they did not stay around the warehouse for long. After more than ten minutes, some people left one after another, and slowly all the workers around the warehouse left.

They had to quickly deliver the New Year's goods home and then bring their families to the factory to watch a movie.

After all, it’s rare to have opportunities to show movies in the factory, and this time we can also watch the new movie "Lin Zexu", so naturally everyone doesn’t want to miss this good opportunity.

At the same time, Zhou Jin also came to the purchasing department office early, waiting for his buyers to come back.

After these people went to the warehouse to pick up the New Year's goods, they did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed back to the purchasing department's office without stopping.

Because they knew in their hearts that the New Year's goods Zhou Jin prepared for them would definitely be better.

Not long after, all the buyers returned to the office one after another and placed the New Year's goods they received on the table.

Zhou Jin first encouraged and thanked them, and then began to distribute the New Year's goods that he had carefully prepared.

When they took the New Year's goods handed over by Zhou Jin, bright smiles appeared on their faces, like a blooming flower, and they couldn't close their mouths.

They expressed their gratitude and said they would continue to work hard to live up to Zhou Jin's expectations.

Zhou Jin felt very relieved when he saw how happy they were. As a leader, it was his responsibility to care about the lives of his employees and make them feel warm and cared for.

Afterwards, Zhou Jin left the steel mill with brisk steps and set out on the journey home.

He also plans to take his family to the factory to watch a movie after lunch today.

Zhou Jin's memory of this kind of open-air movies still lingers in his middle school days in the 21st century. At that time, the school would show movies on the playground every weekend.

People would sit on the floor in groups of two or three, eating sunflower seeds, snacks and watching movies. Thinking about it now, it still seems wonderful.

Of course, life is very good now. I have a beautiful and virtuous wife and many relatives. Now I can take my wife and relatives to the movies.

After Zhou Jin returned home and had lunch with everyone, the whole family went out to see a movie.

"Brother!" Xinxin ran over happily and hugged Zhou Jin's legs.

"Haha, let's go, let's go to the movies!" Zhou Jin smiled, picked up Xinxin, and strode forward.

Along the way, Xinxin and Yushui danced with excitement and kept asking questions, which made Zhou Jin very happy.

Lou Xiao'e and Long Jiu walked quietly aside with faint smiles on their faces.

When he arrived at the open space in the factory, quite a few people had already gathered and the atmosphere was lively. Zhou Jin found a place to sit down.

After the movie started, Xinxin and Yushui were immediately attracted by the screen and stared at it intently. Even Long Jiu stared at the movie intently.

Zhou Jin looked at them with a smile, his heart filled with happiness.

He turned to look at Lou Xiao'e and found that she was watching the movie intently with a gleam in her eyes.

He knew that she was not interested in the movie itself, but was enjoying this warm time with her family.

As the movie played, there were bursts of laughter and exclamations from time to time.

After the movie ended, Zhou Jin held Lou Xiao'e's hand and slowly left the venue with her sisters.

As they walked, they talked about the plot of the movie and laughed all the time.

That night, Zhou Jin felt the warmth and happiness of family.

He knows that no matter how life changes, having family by his side is the best thing.

Two days later, it will be New Year's Eve, and the air seems to be filled with a sense of joy and anticipation.

Early in the morning, Zhou Jin's family began to get busy like a clock that was wound up.

Zhou Jin first took out the couplet he had brought back from his grandfather, which read: "Spring is bright and the mountains and rivers are covered with splendid scenery; China is soaring and the motherland is evergreen." The horizontal banner read: "The mountains and rivers are magnificent," and pasted it directly on the door.

Of course, there must be more than one pair of couplets. Not counting the ones in the house, there are four pairs posted on the door alone. So it took Zhou Jin and his team more than ten minutes just to post the couplets.

Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e, dressed in neat clothes and with her hair neatly tied up, took Yu Shui and Xin Xin with her, and the three of them formed a sanitation cleaning team.

Lou Xiao'e directed them skillfully, "Yushui, wipe the cabinet over there. Xinxin, be careful and put these ornaments in order."

Yu Shui wiped the cabinet carefully, not leaving out any corner. She stopped from time to time, looking at the results of her labor with a satisfied smile on her face.
