Chapter 2526

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of January, not far from the Spring Festival. Before the traditional Northern "Little New Year" (Xiao Nian), Yu Ruizhi asked the administrative department of the Yanfang Group to organize a batch of fish, meat, fruits, dried goods, and other materials to distribute to all company employees as their New Year goods.

The term "distributing New Year goods," how familiar was it to the workers of the Yanfang Group a few years ago? At that time, their benefits were very good, and there were welfare materials distributed during festivals, especially in the era of the planned economy. Everything of the workers belonged to the factory, and everything they ate and used at home was issued by the factory, not to mention New Year goods.

In recent years, the term "distributing New Year goods" has disappeared. After the Yanfang Group suspended production, even wages and living expenses could not be issued, let alone distributing New Year goods.

Now that the Yanfang Group has successfully carried out shareholding reform and is about to restore production, not many workers think that New Year goods will be distributed this year. After all, several new shareholders have come, and the money on the company's account is all brought by them. These people are investors and want to make money. Will they distribute New Year goods?

Anyway, some workers who have worked in private enterprises know that private bosses who distribute New Year goods are very few, and even wages and bonuses are often deducted by them.

Who knew that just when they didn't hold hope, the company distributed New Year goods to them, and it was very rich. This immediately boosted their morale, and they regained a strong sense of belonging and cohesion to the company.

When everyone received the New Year goods, it was just time for the Little New Year. Every household was beaming with joy, lighting stoves, cooking various delicacies, and spending the Little New Year.

This Little New Year, Yu Ruizhi and the others returned to Beijing, but Su Xinghui didn't go back. He planned to stay in Yanzhong City for two more days, and then return to Beijing for the New Year. This year's Spring Festival, Su Xinghui planned to pick up his parents and sister's family to Beijing to spend a New Year.

Su Xinghui didn't return to Beijing. Early this morning, Yin Deshan came to the company in person and invited Su Xinghui to his home to spend the Little New Year. Su Xinghui naturally agreed happily.

Yin Deshan was very happy, but who would have thought that as soon as he came, many people also came to the company. They also wanted to invite Su Xinghui to their homes to spend the Little New Year. This made Yin Deshan very proud: "Fortunately, I, the old man, came early, otherwise I would have been snatched by you. You all go back, Team Leader Su has already agreed to go to my house to spend the Little New Year."

Qin Heshun said with some annoyance: "I said come early, come early, but my wife insisted that it was too early, fearing to disturb Team Leader Su's rest, and as a result, I was snatched by you."

Gu Zhilin also said: "Yes, my wife also said so, so it was late?"

Yin Deshan was even more proud: "Who let you get up so late, today I, the old man, took advantage."

Su Xinghui smiled and said: "How can you count this as taking advantage? I can eat a lot, aren't you afraid that I will eat your family poor?"

Yin Deshan waved his hand and said: "It's fine, the more you eat, the happier I am!"

Gu Zhilin shook his head helplessly. He said to Xia Song: "Let's do this, Little Xia go to my house to spend the Little New Year."

Qin Heshun said: "Then Little Lin go to my house."

Cai Liye saw this and also wanted to pull Hao Zebo to his house to spend the Little New Year. The four people in the working group suddenly became popular figures that everyone snatched.

In the end, they each snatched one as they wished.

Su Xinghui followed Yin Deshan to his home. The Yin family was very lively today. Yin Deshan's two sons brought their whole families back. His family of more than a dozen people crowded the small house full.

Yin Deshan's two sons were also people in their 50s. They were also employees of the Yanfang Group. It is worth mentioning that Yin Deshan himself was a factory manager, but his two sons were just ordinary workers. He did not use his power to seek an official position for his son.

Yin Deshan's two sons saw Su Xinghui coming and hurriedly asked him to sit on the kang, enthusiastically wanting to make tea for him. Su Xinghui hurriedly said: "Two uncles, don't be so polite, I'll do it myself."

Yin Deshan's second son still wanted to make tea for Su Xinghui, but Su Xinghui, a person who was so polite, naturally couldn't let him make tea. Finally, it was his son, Yin Deshan's little grandson, who made tea for Su Xinghui.

Yin Deshan and his children and grandchildren were all accompanying Su Xinghui to sit and talk, while the women of the Yin family were preparing the food for the Little New Year today.

In the Little New Year in the North, various foods were still very rich. Today, the Yin family boiled sugar melons, made malt sugar, fried sanzi, wrapped dumplings, and various chicken, duck, fish, and meat were also being prepared.

In the customs of the North, the importance of the Little New Year is not even worse than the Big New Year, because legend has it that this day is the day when the Kitchen God goes to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor, so many delicious foods must be made on this day to seal the Kitchen God's mouth so that he doesn't say bad things about them.

And the most important food on this day is sugar melon and malt sugar. Foods made with sugar can sweeten the Kitchen God's mouth, let the Kitchen God say good things in heaven, and can stick the Kitchen God's mouth, so that even if the Kitchen God wants to say bad things, he can't open his mouth.

These are of course a kind of beautiful wish. Its true meaning is still in such days, so that everyone can eat something good, because in the past, in the era of material scarcity, people didn't have anything delicious to eat on weekdays, and could only put all kinds of desires accumulated in a year into the Spring Festival period at once.

And from this Little New Year, it officially entered the Spring Festival. From this day on, we must slowly prepare the big meal for the Spring Festival New Year's Eve dinner. Of course, this Little New Year is important.

The Yin family set up a small table on the fire kang. On the table, sugar melons, malt sugar, peanuts, melon seeds, fruits, and other foods were placed. Yin Deshan smiled and said to Su Xinghui: "Team Leader Su, you are a Southerner, you haven't eaten Northern sugar melons, try one."

Su Xinghui picked up a sugar melon and ate it. "Sugar melon" is a very sticky sugar made from yellow rice and malt. After it is boiled, it is pulled into a flat round shape, like a melon, hence the name.

After the sugar melon is boiled, it must be placed outdoors to freeze for a period of time. Because the outdoor weather in the North is very cold, it doesn't take long for the sugar melon to be frozen hard and crisp, and there are some bubbles inside like frozen tofu, so this sugar melon tastes sweet, crisp, crisp, and sticky, which has a unique flavor. ===== CHAPTER 2528 =====
