Chapter 310 New Year’s Eve, Envy
In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived again, with white snow, and the whole world seems to be covered with a layer of white velvet.

"The snow is really heavy this year. It will definitely be a bumper harvest next year."

"Blessed by Bodhisattva, I hope we can be so safe next year."

"It's useless to ask Bodhisattva. We have to ask Mr. Ning or General Chang."

"What are you two talking about? Come on, hurry up. The department store and supermarket are holding an event. Many annual products are on sale. Let's go grab them quickly. If we're late, they'll be gone!"

"Wait for me! I'll go too!"

Every New Year, Ning Qingxi's family goes out to buy new year's goods, but this year is different. They can just go to the supermarket and have the goods picked up at home.

"On weekdays, I don't think this department store is very convenient. Anyway, we don't have many things to buy. We just buy them nearby, and we don't bother to go to this supermarket to buy. Now we have to buy New Year's goods, and the things we buy are many and miscellaneous. , you can buy everything directly from this department store.”

"It's not that bad. The owner of this department store is kind-hearted. During the Chinese New Year, many things are discounted. If you spend a certain amount of money, you can win different prizes."

"Even as a consolation prize, I can get five candies to sweeten my mouth and give them to my children."

"I would say the best ones are guys like him. I heard they still have New Year's goods."

"What, man? They are called shopping guides and waiters."

"Oh, you don't care what I say, that's what it means anyway. It would be great if my boy could become a shopping guide and waiter. My boy could also be good at talking and calculating. It's a pity that he didn't catch up."

Department stores and supermarkets were extremely busy, filled with smiling people buying New Year goods.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, talking about what they wanted to buy for their families this year, and how convenient the department store and supermarket were. At the same time, they were envious of the treatment of the waiters and shopping guides there.

Of course, what makes them most happy is that they can buy many things at only [-]% to [-]% of the usual price.

……

The department store and supermarket will be closed for seven days starting from New Year's Eve. Xiao Zhuzi packed his luggage early, and all the staff were queuing up to collect the New Year's goods the next day.

He was just an ordinary clerk. He received a bottle of soybean oil, two kilograms of fat pork, five taels of mutton, three bushels of corn, a packet of sugar, a pair of couplets, and one tael of silver for the New Year.

After receiving your belongings.He returned to his residence, took his packed luggage and the New Year's goods, and got on the donkey cart to go home.

He was still wearing the employee uniform of the department store and supermarket. The winter work clothes were also very warm, even more comfortable than the ones they made themselves.

When sitting on the bullock cart, Xiao Zhuzi wearing this overalls can tell at a glance what he does.

It also aroused the envy of many people, especially those who looked at his large and small bags and asked him about the New Year's goods from the clerks in department stores and supermarkets.

Xiao Zhuzi worked in a department store, and his job was to greet people and talk to them. He chatted and laughed with these strangers along the way, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the door of their village.

The road was difficult to walk in the snow. On weekdays, it only cost one penny. In winter, after snowfall, he needed two pence. He paid two pence and walked towards the entrance of the village with his things.

The snow around the road near the village had been shoveled.

There is a dirt road inside their village, but a branch road on the main road from the village to the outside is a dirt road compacted by the villagers. Although the snow has been cleared, the road is still a bit slippery, and the small bamboo is carrying it. I accidentally said If not, you will slip and fall to the ground.

In the distance, a villager saw a small bamboo walking into the village.

"Yo? Little Bamboo is back? Oh, why are you buying so many things? Your family has had a good year this year."

The population of this village is mostly made up of people who have fled, and the population is mixed. However, because they have the same experience, no one dislikes anyone. In addition, no matter how good Chang Yuan's treatment is, everyone is holding back the same feeling. Jiner, I want to live a good life without any messy things.Neighbors will help each other after getting along for a long time.

The village chief in charge of them is a veteran who was raised by Ning Changrong Cadre School. He can better understand the hardships of the people and what they need.

Even with such a veteran as the village chief, the villagers feel a sense of security. If anything happens to their village, they can ask the village chief to go to General Chang with his retirement certificate to make the decision.

Xiao Zhuzi's family fled the famine. There were several brothers and sisters, and only he and his mother were left. His mother had bad legs and feet, so she relied on the help of neighbors to take care of her.

After he started working in a department store and supermarket, he would often tell the villagers about some job recruitment news he got in the county or when he could buy cheap things.

If the villagers take good care of him, they will take better care of his mother.

"Uncle Liu. Second Master Chen." Xiao Zhuzi greeted everyone with a smile.

"I heard that the clerks in your department stores and supermarkets can receive a batch of New Year's goods from the boss. Are you from the boss?"

The villagers gathered around him and asked curiously.

One by one, they looked at the plump meat with envy.

Last year they were still running away from famine, and they didn't even have a meal, and they didn't know when they would go there. They didn't expect that they would have a good year this year. Although they were not as good as Xiao Zhuzi's family, they still had enough to eat, and it was a bit meaty. .

"Yes, there are clerks from department stores and supermarkets as well as clerks from car dealerships, but the numbers are different. I am just an ordinary clerk, and my salary is quite small. Those in charge all have five kilograms of fat meat, two kilograms of mutton, and a box of pastries. , a pack of sugar, two pots of oil, and five taels of silver for the festival."

The New Year's goods that Xiao Zhuzi got were enough to make everyone envious, but he didn't expect that those in charge could get more New Year's goods!

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they heard it.

"Five pounds of fat meat, how much fat does this make?"

Here, the pork raised next to the toilet is worthless and extremely smelly. Generally, only people in the countryside like them will buy it, and the meat they buy is always lean meat. If it is fatter, it will be more expensive.

But now that wars are raging, it's hard to buy even cheap pork, let alone this fat meat.

After chatting with the villagers for a long time, Xiao Zhuzi saw someone walking over supported by Aunt Zhang.

He was embarrassed to apologize to everyone, then squeezed out of the crowd and walked quickly forward to help his mother.

"Mom, why did you come out? It's so cold."

Xiaozhuzi's mother patted his arm and said with a smile, "It's okay, mother is not cold."

Xiao Zhuzi turned to thank Aunt Zhang and the others, and wanted to take his mother home.

Xiao Zhuzi's mother, with the support of Xiao Zhuzi, said as she walked, "Mom told you about a good family, which is the daughter of the Feng family. Mom has seen it and is hard-working and hard-working. I will definitely be able to help you take care of it in the future." Home.”

Xiaozhuzi blushed and said, "It's okay, mother, to make the decision."

The surrounding villagers who followed them joked.

"Hahahaha, Xiao Zhuzi is so embarrassed. Look at his ears that are all red."

Xiaozhuzi's mother said warmly, "It's fine if you want. It's just right. Didn't you tell me when you came back that your boss gave you a holiday? Mom has already found someone to make ends meet, and it will be a great day to get married in a few days. I won't delay you then. live."
