Chapter 1768
Everyone looked forward to it and finally made it to lunch break. The noisy canteen was full of discussions about the upcoming get-together.
A banner was hung at the entrance of the canteen, and old fishing nets were cleverly woven into a background, decorated with colorful crepe paper flowers, and many balloons were tied to it.
It was all arranged and hung by the logistics department this morning, looking festive and having a very festive atmosphere.
Now the temperature in winter is too low, and it is relatively cold outdoors. At first, it was not certain what the weather would be, so it is best to hold activities indoors.
And the workshops in their factory are full of machines, and the warehouses are full of goods. The place that is largest and most suitable for holding activities is the canteen. When the time comes, move the seats, and the venue will be very spacious and enough to use, so the get-together was set in the canteen.
The power supply in the canteen is also ready-made, and they also prepared speakers and audio equipment, which can also play music to create an atmosphere.
At lunch, the canteen had already started playing music to debug it in advance.
As soon as the prelude to Zheng Zhihua's "Sailor" started, the young guys eating couldn't help but hum along: "He said in the wind and rain, what does this little pain count for..."
Everyone ate their meal with both expectation and excitement.
It was hard to wait until nearly 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and without the need for a loudspeaker to remind them, everyone had already squeezed to the gate early to wait.
Ye Yaodong waited until the time was about right and took Aqing to the factory gate as well. Manager Qi and the others were already there.
"Boss, they should be here soon. The textile factory director just called before setting off, they will arrive on time at 2 o'clock."
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, two minutes left, about right.
"If we can match a few pairs this year, and if the activity is organized well, we can continue next year."
Manager Qi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's what I think too. After all, the people in our factory are all retired soldiers sent by the army, and most of them are bachelors. We still have to help them solve their personal problems."
"Otherwise, they stay in the factory to work all day long, where can they meet female comrades? Only when the rear is stable can everyone better devote themselves to work."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "I heard that this get-together activity was negotiated only after you ran to the textile factory three times. In order to let two factories with no intersection sit together, your lips were almost worn out."
"Hehe, isn't this what should be done? For the sake of our factory getting better and better."
"Thank you for your hard work."
While they were talking, the people around them gathered more and more.
Ye Xiaoxi and the other little ones stood together with their brothers and sisters, watching the excitement in the corner.
"Brother Ajiang, look at which sister you like in a while, tell me, I'll help you go up and strike up a conversation."
Ye Chengjiang rubbed her head, "You really are a thoughtful good sister! If I find a partner, don't I have to pack a big red envelope for you as a matchmaker?"
She raised her chin proudly, "Then show me!"
Finally, two buses with "Textile Factory" signs drove over, swaying one after another.
The bus door opened, and a middle-aged woman got off with a smile on her face, followed by a middle-aged man, and then a girl in a red woolen coat jumped off the bus first, followed by beautiful female workers in pink cotton jackets, red cotton jackets, plaid coats, etc.
It was as if a colorful kaleidoscope had been opened, and a series of young and beautiful girls came down, with a youthful atmosphere rushing towards them.
They laughed and pushed each other, like a group of colorful butterflies that had suddenly descended, making this gray fishery courtyard instantly brighten up.
The workers behind Ye Yaodong suddenly quieted down. The originally noisy discussions instantly became silent, and their eyes couldn't even look at them all.
These men who could lift a hundred jin of fish with one hand on weekdays and didn't even frown in the wind and waves were now all cautious, not knowing where to put their hands and feet, just looking with silly smiles on their faces.
"Welcome to the First Textile Factory to Dongsheng Fishery!"
After Ye Yaodong cleared his throat and finished speaking, the workers behind him also shouted loudly and thickly.
"Welcome to the First Textile Factory to Dongsheng Fishery!"
Those female workers who had just got off the bus at the gate had never seen such a big battle, all of them blushed, and peeked at the pile of men inside with eyes full of curiosity and excitement.
Ye Yaodong stepped forward to welcome them, shook hands with the leaders of the textile factory one by one, and then everyone introduced each other.
"Thank you, Director Zhou and Director Chen, for coming from afar. Today, let's have a lively New Year's Day together!"
"It's not hard, it's not hard, you are the ones who are hard-working, having to arrange activities."
"It should be done. Let's sit inside. Let's tell you about the activity process as we walk. Everyone, go to the canteen and sit down for a rest and drink some tea."
"Okay, we brought more than fifty female workers who signed up this time. Let's just make friends and get to know each other."
"Hehe, our factory has about five or six hundred bachelors..." Ye Yaodong felt awkward and funny saying this.
Lin Xiuqing pulled his clothes corner and said with a smile, "The workers in our factory are all sent by the navy, and they have all been screened by the army. Female comrades can rest assured to make friends. The ones certified by the country are better than those outside."
"Haha, what a good 'certified by the country', indeed."
Everyone talked and laughed as they went to the canteen.
The female workers followed behind these leaders, none of them dared to look around, their faces were flushed red.
And the surrounding male workers walked at the very back, on the very edge, boldly looking at this and that, their eyes almost unable to look at them all. Usually, how could they meet so many female comrades?
At this time, "Rainy Season at 17" was playing in the canteen, which were all songs familiar to young people. They had already heard it before they reached the canteen.
Everyone relaxed a little after hearing the familiar music, and could hum a few sentences along with it, and then chat with the people around them about music and pop singers.
The relaxed female workers also curiously looked at this factory they had only heard of.
The air was filled with the salty smell of seawater and the fishy smell of fish products, but the area around the open space looked clean.
Those young men who followed them were said to be retired soldiers from the army, and they all had dark faces and strong arms washed by the sea breeze, but they looked exceptionally tall, firm, and reliable.
Ye Xiaoxi pulled Ye Chengjiang, "Brother Ajiang, these sisters are all so pretty, which one do you like?"
"Cousin A-Ming, Cousin A-Wen, which one do you like?"
Both brothers rolled their eyes. If they counted on her to be a matchmaker, they might as well be bachelors.
"With so many pretty female comrades, you have to grasp it well, otherwise they will all be chased away by others, and you will be scolded again when you go home for the New Year."
"We're going over there." The two brothers slipped away directly, not joining them.
"Brother Ajiang, did you sign up for the get-together activity?"
"Yes."
"Then I want to sit with you."
"You sit with your parents, you can see more clearly. Don't get in my way, what if others think you are my daughter."
"Then such a blind female comrade cannot be wanted!"
Ye Chengjiang was amused by her and quickly sent her to Lin Xiuqing's side, otherwise it would affect his performance later!
Their factory's get-together activity also has male and female hosts. The male is the planner, and the female is Lin Dongxue.
Lin Dongxue also had a share in this activity planning. After all, she had been to university and had seen some activity scenes in school, so she had experience.
Ye Yaodong greeted the leaders to sit down. The female workers were also arranged to sit in the right area. The left area was full of male comrades who had signed up in the factory, far exceeding the female comrades. Those standing around were watching the excitement.
It is not necessarily that all the male and female comrades who signed up have to go on stage. After all, there are too many people, and some people are relatively shy and timid. Signing up is just to meet people and take a look. Everyone can raise their hands to enter the center of the venue to participate in activity competitions according to the activity situation.
After most people were seated, the two hosts took the microphones, stood in the center of the venue, and opened their mouths with a smile.
"Thank you to the leaders of the textile factory and the female comrades for coming to our fishery processing factory in their busy schedule. I hope we have a wonderful New Year's Day memory."
"Our activity has officially started. The first game is, 'Working Together to Pass the Fishing Season'."
Actually, it is an improved version of "You act, I guess". After the host simply explained the game rules.
"Let's have 5 people from each side, male and female, for the first game. There are three rounds in total, 15 people on each side. Everyone, please sign up enthusiastically. The winning group in each round will receive a pair of table tennis rackets for both male and female."
Wow~
The scene suddenly became noisy. To create an atmosphere, it still has to be the male comrades. Those men cheered and yelled, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.
And the male comrades all raised their hands one by one, exceptionally enthusiastic and active. Some even stood up while raising their hands, wishing they could jump directly into the venue.
The host smiled and picked 5 people who were usually more active and could talk. At the beginning, they still needed some lively people to liven up the atmosphere.
Their factory has hundreds of bachelors, and there are always a few lively people who are outgoing and thick-skinned.
As for the female comrades, they were much more reserved, but thinking of the table tennis prize, there would always be someone who would go on stage generously.
A pair of table tennis rackets would cost at least ten or twenty yuan. It's not expensive, but according to the current purchasing power, it's not cheap either. The one arranged by the factory is still the national brand Double Happiness.
They also put effort into selecting gifts, all of which are practical and popular with the public.
On the female comrade side, 5 people also raised their hands one after another and went on stage first, without delaying time by being coy.
The female comrades who could go on stage at the beginning also belonged to the generous and cheerful ones. They should also be active members in daily life, and it is also possible that this is not their first time participating in a get-together.
Anyway, in the first round of "You act, I guess", the scene was exceptionally enthusiastic. Basically, it was the men acting and the women guessing.
10 marine creatures in one round, the pair that guesses the most wins.
Those men were also selected lively people, making all kinds of jokes, and their body movements were exaggerated and funny, making the people at the scene laugh out loud.
Ye Chengjiang didn't care about finding a partner, but he liked excitement. Wherever it was exciting, he naturally joined in. Of course, he also signed up actively. He was in the second round.
