Chapter 722: It’s Chinese New Year (Part 2)

 Looking at the two women not far away who were talking in a low voice.

Xu Yun looked up at the sunny sky and took a deep breath again.

 In the original history.

Whether it’s Xu Luxi or Wu Yueqin.

Although the love between them and their husbands can be called heroic, what actually sets off this heroic love is the loneliness and sadness of being separated in two places for more than ten years.

 At least this incident is a great regret for the lives of both parties in this world.

Therefore, in the list given to the writer not long ago, Xu Yun mentioned the family members of several experts, including Xu Luxi, and hoped that they would be allowed to come to the base to reunite with their husbands.

 In the end, after discussions in the capital, Xu Yun’s idea was agreed to.

after all

 The identities of Xu Luxi and others are different from those of returning scholars such as Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao. Their political review has actually been completed long ago.

 At least when it comes to arranging for these people to come to the base, you don’t have to waste too much time explaining to those comrades who don’t know Xu Yun’s existence.

So the organization made a smooth progress so that these couples who had been apart for many years could reunite during the Chinese New Year.

To know.

Although Xu Luxi, Lu Guangda and others had been separated for less than ten years at this time, it had been more than three years since the establishment of the 221 base. This kind of separation time is not short for any family or couple.

Let alone three years, how many couples in future generations can last three months in a long-distance relationship?

 It is true.

Xu Yun’s approach may save future generations from a few articles promoting the dedication of Xu Luxi and others, but Xu Yun believes that if Xu Luxi and others knew the true historical trajectory, they would definitely agree with Xu Yun’s approach.

 So he did this with full confidence, which was completely different from his previous hesitation when changing other people's trajectories.

 “Xiao Xu, Professor Yang.”

While Xu Yun was deep in thought, Li Jue, who had gone to the scene to conduct the command before, returned to him and said to him and Yang Kaiqu:

“The weather is nice today and everyone is in good spirits. Would you like to take this opportunity to go over and make some dumplings?”

Xu Yun was slightly startled:

"Make dumplings?"

Then he subconsciously glanced at Yang Kaiqu next to him, and found that there was obviously some movement on the other person's face, and he quickly made a judgment in his mind.

However, he did not directly make a decision for Yang Kaiqu, but pretended to know nothing and asked Yang Kaiqu:

“Professor Yang, what do you think?”

Yang Kaiqu heard this and put his palm in front of his face, turned it over, and tried to make a fist. After feeling that he could move fairly freely, he said:

“Xiao Xu, how about the two of us in wheelchairs join in the fun?”

Xu Yun has no objection:

"OK."

So Li Jue took Qiao Caihong, Zhou Kaida, and Yuan Guoliang to push wheelchairs and came to Xu Luxi and Wu Yueqin:

“Sister Wu, Teacher Xu, are you busy?”

Xu Luxi quickly raised his head when he saw this, and stopped what he was doing when he saw Li Jue:

“Director, why are you here? Are there any new tasks in the factory?”

“No, no, no, the current progress of each of our groups is as expected, there are no surprises.”

Li Jue quickly waved his hand, pointed at Xu Yun and Yang Kaiqu and said:

“Isn’t today the New Year’s Eve? This is also the most practical year since the base was established.”

“Professor Yang and Xiao Xu are also in good health, so I want them to make a few dumplings with their own hands to celebrate while everyone is here.”

  While saying this, Li Jue also patted Xu Yun on the shoulder.

As one of the only five leaders in the base who knows Xu Yun’s origins, Li Jue knows one thing very well:

 This should be Xu Yun’s last and only year at the base.

 In addition, some personnel such as Yuan Guoliang will also leave the base later in the year, so today is probably the only New Year's Eve dinner in the "complete" state of the 221 Base.

 Xu Yun and Yang Kaiqu were not allowed to make a few dumplings with their own hands during this meal, and Li Jue always felt as if something was missing.

 And opposite him.

Hearing Li Jue’s words, Xu Luxi quickly patted her flour-stained hands on her apron twice and stepped aside:

“Want to make dumplings? No problem, come on, come on, the director will tell you that we are short of manpower here.”

 Say it.

 She also nodded towards Yang Kaiqu and Xu Yun, with a little gratitude in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yun.

Although Xu Luxi didn't know Xu Yun's true identity, she was informed by Lu Guangda the night she came to the base. She was allowed to contact Project 221 precisely because a consultant named Xu Yun at the base made suggestions to the organization. .

If not, she didn't know how long she would have to be separated from Lu Guangda.

And as a woman with a higher education, Xu Luxi’s vision is indeed farther than that of housewives like Wu Yueqin:

 She also followed the project team when she was studying, and knew how much psychological pressure a major project would put on the leader of the research team.

With this kind of pressure, if there is no one beside you to provide spiritual support, some accidents may easily occur.

 It may range from becoming irritable at the least to mental disorder at the worst.

Hence, she only maintained respect for her comrades towards Yang Kaiqu, but she felt a sense of intimacy and gratitude towards Xu Yun.

I heard that this little comrade is still single, but I didn’t expect that he would be so considerate.

 After Xu Luxi and Wu Yueqin gave way.

Li Jue held a chair with one hand to clear up the space. Qiao Caihong and Zhou Kaida each pushed their wheelchairs and "stuffed" Xu Yun and Yang Kaiqu into the gap of the table.

When Yang Kaiqu came to the table, he first looked at the enamel basin filled with stuffing in front of him and raised his eyebrows:

“Yo, beef stuffed with green onions? And carrots?”

 After saying that, he reached out and fanned the food basin again, lowered his head and took a greedy breath:

 “It smells so good!”

As an agriculturist, he can tell the quality of vegetables in stuffings almost by smelling them.

Li Jue smiled and nodded when he heard this, and explained:

“Well, these are the materials supported by the comrades from the XX factory and the XX factory in the Northeast. They were originally prepared to be distributed to everyone that year.”

“As a result, the base is going to make beef dumplings this time, so we use these two things to match them. Although the taste is not as good as the mushroom and beef filling, the fishy effect is still quite good.”

Li Jue reported the names of two large factories in Northeast China, both of which were large factories with a population of close to 100,000, including the employees’ families.

 These two large factories are also one of the beneficiaries of this and Maoxiong winter wheat. Not long ago, after learning that the 221 base needed a large amount of vegetables, they generously supported a large number of agricultural and sideline products.

Although the carrots in the Northeast are not as well-known as those in Zhuzhou, the yield and quality of carrots in Jiangcheng are actually not low, and they are very tasty when eaten raw.

 So this time, we used carrots, green onions and a small amount of **** as base, mixed with beef to create such a set of fillings.

 Subsequently, with the assistance of Zhou Kaida and others.

Yang Kaiqu tremblingly placed a piece of dumpling wrapper in the palm of his hand, and picked up the filling with a small wooden spoon with a flat front end in his other hand.

Then Yang Kaiqu put the meat filling on the dumpling wrapper, and just as he was about to close his mouth, Xu Luxi suddenly said:

 “Professor Yang, wait a moment!”

  She saw her opening a heavy small bag from the table and taking out a small one-cent coin:

“Professor Yang, please put this in the dumplings too.”

Yang Kaiqu blinked:

"This is."

Xu Luxi smiled, pointed to Li Jue on the side and said: "This is a bonus added by the base. One of every five hundred dumplings will be stuffed with coins. These coins have been sterilized and marked."

“Those who eat dumplings not only represent good luck, but they can also take the coins to the audit office to exchange for two taels of beef or a piece of cloth. It can be regarded as a bonus for the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

Yang Kaiqu then understood:

 “So that’s how it is”

 Mentioned earlier.

According to the organization's estimates, the average person can eat about forty dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner - some manual workers may eat more, while clerical workers and female children may eat less. Overall, the average is about forty.

 Including the amount that some people may secretly hide and take home, the number of dumplings consumed by a table of ten people is only about 500.

  In other words.

 About every table, there will be one lucky person who can win the prize.

This time, the base opened a total of more than 1,700 tables, and the theoretical "prize pool" is about 300 kilograms.

 The practice of putting copper coins in dumplings has been around since ancient times, but it’s hard to have the courage to set up such a high prize pool.

 There is no doubt that this handwriting must have been produced by someone who is at least moderately mature.

Then Yang Kaiqu put the coin into the dumpling filling, pinched both ends of the dumpling wrapper, brought them together and pressed them skillfully, and a dumpling was ready.

 Then Xu Yun, Li Jue, Yuan Guoliang, Zhou Kaida, Qiao Caihong and Xu Yun's guard Mou Fangdong all started to make a few dumplings each, some of which were filled with coins, and some were filled with pure meat.

At the same time, the dumplings made by Xu Yun were a little larger than those of others. This was a difference caused by different times. Xu Yun had nothing to do about it. It was easy to correct the practices of the few people on the scene, but there were more than just this few people making dumplings today. Number of people?

There is an old saying in China that a disease of the heart requires medicine from the heart. The best way to treat this "disease of poverty" is to make the country rich and powerful. There is no other way.

 In the coming time.

 Everyone was making dumplings while talking and laughing, and the atmosphere of the New Year became more and more intense.

 Half a day passed by in a flash.

 Seven hours later.

As it was getting late, more than 20,000 dumplings were neatly placed in a corner of the venue.

The sky is already dark, and the coldness of the northwest in winter is reflected.

So Li Jue waved his hand decisively and said to his assistant Zhou Cai:

“Xiao Zhou, please inform the comrades in the sideline team to pull up the sheds.”

“Also, let’s contact the platform. Commuter trains can be dispatched to pick up employees and their families in the living area. Order must be maintained and no chaos can occur!”

 Zhou Cai's expression suddenly became solemn:

"clear!"

Although the entire base of 20,000 employees has undergone strict political review, and there is no doubt about their loyalty and consciousness, there are still certain risks or hidden dangers in mobilizing this number in the 1960s when communication methods were relatively less mature.

For example, if someone rushes too fast and causes himself or the people around him to fall, and the flow of people behind him continues to move forward without knowing it, a stampede accident is likely to occur.

 For example, some family members, especially half-year-old children who are underage but cannot be held, are also likely to get lost due to crowding.

 So the order of entry of all employees must be strictly controlled, which is actually a big test for the organizer's ability.

  It can even be said.

This New Year's Eve dinner is the largest personnel transfer in the history of the 221 base - when the base was completed, there were no thousands of new people from the [Sanqing] project to join.

 Fortunately, although Li Jue is slightly lacking in scientific research knowledge, as a veteran who has come down from the battlefield, scheduling is his specialty.

 With the cooperation of all parties.

The commuter train at the base whined loudly, happily carrying rows of base employees to various preset venues.

 At this moment, the entire 211 base is filled with laughter and laughter:

 “Hey, brother Erxi, let’s go together?”

 “Lao Liu, happy New Year’s Eve!”

“It’s Xiwang, the whole family is here? You’ll need to eat more then. You’re so skinny, if you don’t eat something greasy, you’ll get into trouble sooner or later!”

 “Shunzi, how many tables do you have?”

“Twelve factories, 114 tables.”

“What a coincidence, I’m 514, I’ll have a drink with you then!”

“Okay, I just don’t know if there’s any wine.”

“Hey, it’s okay if you don’t have wine. Let’s clink glasses of dumpling soup. The original soup becomes the original food.”

after an hour.

 The No. 1 venue where the base headquarters is located.

 “Director.”

Zhou Cai held a small book in his hand and hurried to Li Jue and reported:

“Reporting to the factory director, we have just received news from each branch venue. Including our site, the employees of the twelve New Year’s Eve banquet venues have already taken their seats.”

“Except for a comrade from the computer lab who had his wig ripped off when he got off the bus, the rest of the process went smoothly and no one was lost or injured.”

“There are 18,234 employees in the entire base. Except for those with special work arrangements, 17,283 should be present, but 17,275 are actually present. The eight absent comrades are all sick, and we have arranged for personnel to deliver meals to them.”

Li Jue nodded with satisfaction.

This time, the base, including the main factory, has arranged a total of twelve branch venues, including six in the living area and six in the production area.

These branch venues carry different numbers of people depending on the size of the venue. For example, Venue 1 is a small venue with only 80 tables and more than 800 people in total.

 The 12th Branch Factory, which is a platform for general supplies, has more than 550 tables planned, and the number of people in this branch alone exceeds 5,000.

Basically, the employees from the first few factories of the base were placed there. It is said that there was a commotion there a few hours ago.

 Then Li Jue thought for a while and asked Zhou Cai:

“Xiao Zhou, how are the preparations for the New Year’s Eve dinners at various venues now?”

Zhou Cai looked at the data compiled in his hand again:

“Except for the 12th Branch Factory, most of the venues have already saved enough dumplings for the first round and put them in foam boxes to keep them warm.”

Li Jue waved his hand very grandly when he saw this:

“Then notify each venue that the food is ready to be served. Don’t make comrades wait too long!”

“Besides, if you guys have any speech notes, put them away first. It’s important to eat during the Chinese New Year, so it’s best if you don’t beep. If you really want to say something, hold it back for two or three rounds before speaking.”

Zhou Cai quickly straightened up:

"clear!"

 After receiving Li Jue’s instructions, Zhou Cai quickly left the scene.

 The next ten minutes will be less than ten minutes.

 A burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the twelve branch venues of the entire base:

 I saw service staff wearing chef uniforms carrying plates of steaming dumplings and began to walk among the tables in the major branch venues.

 “Eat dumplings!”

Note:

At the beginning of the month, the monthly ticket was nominated for another small prize. The monthly ticket was exposed. Today, the biological clock is adjusted, and it will start to explode tomorrow.
