Every year in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, all departments of the Far Eastern Company are on duty, which has formed a tradition, the second in command of the first year of junior high school, and so on.

This is true not only for the Spring Festival, but for all festivals. In addition, the salaries and benefits of various departments are much higher than those of the front-line employees at the grassroots level compared with those of the agencies, and there are various subsidies, overtime pay and other additional income.

The front-line grassroots employees of Far Eastern Company work very hard, and many times one person is used as several people. The main reason is that the Far Eastern Company is expanding too fast, and the cadres of the grassroots units at all levels always have to be transferred to new units, and they are often faced with the situation of extreme tension in the management personnel.

The company's staff is relatively stable, but the staffing is very tight, and even the leaders of the department have to undertake a lot of work. It is definitely not like in modern society, where government cadres are extremely bloated, sitting in air-conditioned offices every day, smoking and drinking water, but in the end their salaries are higher than those of grassroots employees.

Therefore, on the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the nine-member members of the board of directors of the company were on duty in various departments of the Far Eastern Company. In the evening, they also extended their condolences to the officers on duty in various departments, the officers and men of the troops standing guard on duty, and the security police patrolling the streets.

Li Ming sat at his desk, on which was a thick stack of papers, and next to it was a wooden food box containing the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meals that Hanako and her two daughters had cooked for him.

When it was close to midnight, Hanako would bring him dumplings made by herself, all freshly cooked and hot, and the two of them would sit by the window and eat together, and they could enjoy the ******** outside.

In the past few years, Li Ming has spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the unit, and Hanako and children have become accustomed to it. Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, they prepare food boxes for Li Ming by hand, which has also become a tradition in Li Ming's family.

In fact, the company provides Chinese New Year's Eve meals to the staff on duty, but Li Ming will eat the food box prepared for him by his family. It turned out that Hanako was prepared by herself. Now that the two daughters are older, they are also involved. Although there are more troublemakers and spoofs than help, Li Ming still eats very deliciously, and has the warm taste of family affection.

"Bang...... Bang ......"

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks sounded outside, and Li Ming raised his hand to look at his watch and found that it was already half past eleven. He stood up and rubbed his sore back. Walked to the window.

Clusters of fireworks rising in the distance are particularly bright in the dark night, and firecrackers are also ringing in the city of Shenyang, and the originally quiet city instantly becomes extremely noisy.

At this time, Hanako pushed the door and walked in, still leading the two girls in her hands, but when she saw them, she was already sleepy, and kept rubbing her eyes. Their heads drooped.

"Why did you bring them here?"

Hanako opened the food box quickly, took out the thermos boxes one by one, put them on the coffee table by the window, and said with a smile: "They don't sleep anything, and they are clamoring to come and deliver food for you, hehe...... I was so sleepy on the road. ”

Li Ming held the two girls in his arms, they couldn't open their eyes anymore, and they still murmured: "I don't sleep...... I'm going to bring food to my dad......"

I didn't wait for it to finish. The two girls curled up in Li Ming's arms and fell asleep.

Hanako packed up and took one from Li Ming's arms. The two of them each hugged a girl and sat by the window and ate dumplings. Then while eating, I quietly watched the fireworks rising outside the window.

Hanako has a demure temperament, and Li Ming is also stuffy at home, and the two don't talk much on weekdays. Hanako has been with Li Ming for many years, but she still looks like a little woman, with no desires and no desires. As long as she can sit silently by Li Ming's side, she is already very satisfied.

Many times Li Ming was late at home looking at the materials, and Hanako would sit next to her, either knitting a sweater or reading with a book. From time to time, I refilled some tea for Li Ming, or rubbed Li Ming's shoulders or something.

The two have long formed a tacit understanding. Generally, you don't speak, but you can understand what the other person means by making eye contact. Li Ming sometimes doesn't go home for a year or two, and Hanako never complains, and waits for the child silently at home alone.

Shortly after twelve o'clock, the ******** outside also ended, and the sound of firecrackers in the city gradually became quieter. Hanako put the child on the couch next to her and began to pack the leftover dumplings back into the food box and prepare to leave.

Li Ming's two guards also pushed the door in due time, holding two military coats in their hands, wrapping up the two girls sleeping on the sofa and holding them in their arms.

"Bang ......", the door of Li Ming's office was pushed open, Song Tao walked in with a red face, swaying, still carrying a few bottles of wine and a few bags in his hands, he drank a lot at a glance, and saw that Li Ming just wanted to pull eggs, and suddenly saw the flower next to him.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here, eh...... Why are these two little ancestors here, by the way, sister-in-law, I have a New Year's greeting for you, happy New Year......"

Hanako bowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "Happy New Year...... Then I'll go back first, and you can talk......"

Li Ming and Song Tao sent Hanako downstairs, and then returned to the office, and Song Tao put the liquor and cooked food he brought on Li Ming's desk.

"You're not at home with your wife and children, why are you running here for me in the middle of the night."

When Song Tao heard this, he said with a smile: "You don't know our family, the two of them slept before ten o'clock, and I was left to drink at home, the more I drank, the more bored I became, and you must be alone in the empty room, so I came over to accompany you." ”

Li Ming pointed at him with his finger and scolded with a smile: "You are a drunken fool, everyone drinks with you, you are very troublesome." ”

The two of them opened a bottle of wine, and without using a glass, they directly raised the bottle and touched it, and then the wine began to drink. After a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and Li Ming opened the door to see that it was his two guards.

They held two food boxes in their hands, Li Ming was a few delicate side dishes fried by Hanako for them, and they also used a casserole to cook hot soup. Song Tao laid out the dishes, then gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Big brother, sister-in-law is this ......"

Li Ming smiled and didn't speak, just raised the wine bottle and touched it with Song Tao, then raised his head and took a sip. At present, Far Eastern Distillery has released a new product, which is also exclusively for Far Eastern internal employees, the name is Far Eastern Aging, which is an eight-year-old high-quality aged liquor, and the taste is even more domineering, which is more violent than the Far Eastern Special Supply.

At this time, Gao Jianguo pushed the door and walked in, and when he saw that the two of them were drinking, he immediately scolded: "You guys are so disagreeable, you actually drank during your duty." It's so conscienceless, I don't even shout Lao Tzu when I drink. (To be continued.) )
