Chapter 74 073 Busy Year

Starting from the Little New Year, people have entered a busy New Year state.

The busy New Year is also called "New Year's Eve" in some people's mouths.

The word "guan" refers to a period of time that is not easy to pass on certain occasions.

The reason why there is the word "New Year's Eve" refers to the difficult times of this year, such as not being able to pay back the debts, no money to buy meat and vegetables, no money to buy new clothes for the children...

Although this year has been difficult, it will still be the best year in the next few years.

Zhang Guifang and her two younger sisters were in charge of the family, so Tang Zhitong didn't have to worry about it. He had his own things to be busy with.

In the past few days before the Spring Festival, Tang Zhitong was busy giving New Year gifts while delivering goods.

Tang Zhitong's pickled fish recipe, under the operation of Teacher Wang from the technical school, was published in a second-rate newspaper distributed across the country. The newspaper specially sent Tang Zhitong a sample newspaper and a manuscript fee sheet, and the manuscript fee was more than ten yuan.

This was a matter of long face. Zhang Guifang posted the sample version of the newspaper on the wall of the main room. Tang Zhitong also bought a few more copies from outside and threw them into the warehouse as a souvenir.

This year is not Tang Zhitong's year, but the life and death of the gray rabbits raised at home. A dozen fat rabbits were executed by Tang Zhitong with "bang, bang, bang".

Tang Zhitong was grateful for Teacher Wang's loyalty and sent him two cooked rabbits.

In addition to Teacher Wang, Tang Zhitong picked up a few more rabbits and sent them to Ma Sange, Wu Haiyang, Gu Yong, and Wan Xiangyang respectively.

According to the current practice, friends do not need to send New Year gifts to each other, but Tang Zhitong did.

Tang Zhitong understands very well that maintaining a friendship is not just about sitting down and having a drink, but also the exchange of favors. You help me, I help you. The deeper the interests are involved, the stronger the friendship.

Ma Sange's portion was sent directly to Uncle Ma's house across the street, and Wu Haiyang's, Gu Yong's, and Wan Xiangyang's were also sent to their homes.

Everything went well, and Wu Haiyang told Tang Zhitong a piece of news: "The water purification equipment you made is good, and the superiors are very satisfied. I will try to get some rewards for you. The pressure cooker is currently difficult to implement, and the cost is higher. The superiors have The dispute has not yet been decided on how to handle it.”

"Brother Yang, please don't fight for it. I don't want any rewards. I just want to make some contribution to the country." Tang Zhitong shook his head and refused. This time, he really didn't expect to earn anything back. Come.

"Don't worry, it's not money. Keep certificates and the like at home. When you get old, take them out and brag to your grandson about your contributions." Wu Haiyang joked.

"Hey, this works, this works." Tang Zhitong was very happy after hearing this. Honors are more popular than rewards at the moment. To judge an advanced worker, the certificate of award is posted on the wall.

Tang Zhitong just got one a while ago. Although he has only been working for a short time, he has performed well and is the only advanced person in the Hujialou branch. Zhang Yuan's face turned green with envy, and he kept saying that he was stingy, not giving money, and not benefiting. Kind of sarcastic remarks.

Tang Zhitong ignored him. When he took the certificate home, Zhang Guifang posted it on the sample newspaper. Anyone who came could see it, and the whole family was honored.

"If you can't make a pressure cooker, you can't make it. It's a pity. Although the cost is high, this thing is rare. The price is several times higher than the cost. You can make two by selling one. Big Brother has money there, but I don't know where others are. Do you need it?" Tang Zhitong said this, but he still wanted to fight for it, otherwise how would he stew the ribs in a disaster year?
"What you said makes sense. I'll investigate again later." Wu Haiyang's eyes lit up after hearing this. Currently, they are importing Big Brother's industrial finished products and semi-finished products, and exporting industrial finished products is very rare.Even if there is no need in Big Brother, will there be need elsewhere?Now there is not enough foreign exchange to spend, so this is not a pot, this is green foreign exchange!It's the result!

On the afternoon of the second day after bidding farewell to Wu Haiyang, Tang Zhitong went to find classmate Xiao Wang with four cooked rabbits, a bag of fruit, a pair of sheep crutches, and two small whips.

Since the two came back from the Old Summer Palace, their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds, and the content of their letters has become more straightforward.Tang Zhitong wrote to Wang Jingwen two days in advance, saying that he was going to deliver some things to her today and asked her to take him to Hao Chu's house after dark.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" The sheep's crutches were carefully selected by Tang Zhitong and picked out by the meat buyer. They were of average size and without any damage. They were very delicate. Wang Jingying liked them very much and changed her mind.

"As long as you like it." Tang Zhitong grinned happily.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, where is mine?" Wang Jingmin is not greedy for sheep crutches, but he is greedy for gifts. Ye Zhijuan is very strict. There is no shortage of food and drink, many books, but almost no toys. Otherwise, with a family like his, it would be impossible to stand on the balcony for his eldest sister. Exchange a dime for a foreign painting.

"Little whip, do you like it?" Tang Zhitong took out the small whip from his pocket and waved it in front of Wang Jingmin's eyes.

"I like it! I like it!" Wang Jingmin took it and was very excited, but he didn't forget to ask Ye Zhijuan: "Mom, my brother-in-law gave it to me, can I let it go?"

"Let it go, pay attention to safety." Ye Zhijuan waved to Wang Jingmin and agreed.

"Oh! Let's set off firecrackers! It's Chinese New Year!" After Ye Zhijuan agreed, Wang Jingmin jumped out and went downstairs.

"You kid, you brought rabbits again. In the past few days, you have brought several rabbits." After Tang Zhitong sat down, Ye Zhijuan complained, with a friendly tone in her tone.

"I still have a hundred or ten rabbits raised at home, enough for next year. I will leave two rabbits for you, and I plan to send two to Hao Chu." Tang Zhitong lost his restraint and picked up the teapot and poured it for Ye Zhijuan first. Pour it on Wang Jingwen and himself again.

Nowadays, there are no decent drinks, and tea is considered the best among drinks.

"Wenwen told me that you have thought carefully about it. Let Wenwen take you there later. It's not far from here." The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and she became more and more satisfied. Xiao Hao had already told her that in the first year I was rated as advanced, and now I'm waiting to get my technical secondary school diploma.

Coupled with his good cooking skills and knowing how to get things done, the prospective son-in-law is already far ahead of his peers.

"Sure, hehe." Tang Zhitong was previously worried that his mother-in-law would blame him for corrupting his leadership, but it seemed that he was overly worried and he was a reasonable person.

"It's Chinese New Year, how are your family's preparations?" Ye Zhijuan asked Tang Zhitong's parents.

"It's better than others. Meat and non-staple food are rationed. But I have rabbits at home, as well as cabbages, winter melons, and pumpkins that I planted a year ago. I can live a good year." Tang Zhitong said truthfully. This was not to show off, but to say Tell the mother-in-law to reassure her that Wang Jingwen will not be hungry if she follows him.

This is not because Tang Zhitong is overly worried. At present, the canteens in the rural areas in the suburbs of Beijing have been completely wiped out. Many people have come to the city to live with their relatives, and there are also a lot of people sleeping on the streets...

It's not easy for those who eat commercial grain. Everyone has a ration, unless they go to a restaurant to buy it, but that is more expensive, so they can't eat it often, and their families can't afford it.

"That's good. Come here later and don't buy anything anymore. I know you love Wenwen, but now fruit is more expensive than hairtail. It's not easy for you to make two bucks. First, pay attention to your family expenses. Wenwen wants to eat , let her buy it herself." Ye Zhijuan nodded with satisfaction. Although Tang Zhitong's family was average, the advantage was that he could grow some vegetables in the yard. This condition was not even comparable to his own.
