There is no doubt that the closer to the end of the year, the busier Hong Yanwu will be.
Because not only the preparations for the "New Year's Party Dinner" were at their busiest, but his own tobacco and alcohol business also reached its peak. At the same time, he had to spend Sunday with Hong Yanwen and Xu Chongya to continue shopping, and worry about New Year gifts and New Year's goods.
There are many people of all ages who need Hong Yanwu to take care of this year. There are many more people than in previous years. Moreover, as exchanges deepen and become closer, the "treatment" of many old relationships will also increase.
For example, Yang Weifan's family and Director Song's family can no longer just deal with the surface and have to carefully plan the contents of the gifts. You have to have both face and dignity.
In comparison, He Jiefu's family, District Chief Xu's family, and even Zhang Baocheng's family were relatively worry-free. Because the value of the gift can determine their level of satisfaction.
As for Aunt Bao, although she is no longer in the capital, she, like Uncle Xue and Lao Dayu, is an elder who has greatly helped Hong Yanwu. No matter what, I have to send some souvenirs from the capital to express my feelings.
As for the homes of Mr. Shan, Wang Hanping, Master Si, and Manager Sha, you must also prepare four-color gifts of "tobacco, wine, sugar and tea" to visit. It is not the Hong family's style to use people to face the front and not to use people to face the back.
Even friendships such as "Da De He", "Hong Ye", "Lao Gui", "Xiao Lei Zi", "Bashi" and "Little Landlord" have to go through the process. Because the sedan chair has to be carried by everyone, giving face to others is also giving face to oneself.
You can imagine how trivial and complicated these things are when put together, and how much energy they consume.
If you leave it to others, you will be exposed in all directions, and you will inevitably be in trouble, and **** up is a high probability result.
But fortunately, Hong Yanwu has both a beautiful heart and three heads and six arms.
His sophistication in human relations, his many subordinates at his disposal, and his abundant money are all effective aids that enable him to deal with all aspects with ease.
In addition, this year he also has an advantage that no one can match in terms of material channels.
Not to mention how rich the New Year gifts "Polar Bear" is to its employees. Now that he has internal relations with "Polar Bear", he can also get many "internal products" specially supplied to "Diaoyutai" and "Great Hall of the People". You can't see it outside at all, and it's still the ex-factory price.
After having the foreign exchange coupons, Friendship Mall also became his warehouse for foreign goods.
Many good things that he had to spend a lot of time to get in the past, and many things that could only be looked at with greed, can now be moved home at will.
So in this way, in the last "shiver" at the end of the year, Hong Yanwu "shivered" very beautifully.
The work unit is satisfied, the family and the family are satisfied, not only the money is earned, but the relationships in all aspects are also maintained in every aspect, which is perfect.
In fact, this is just like when he had to hold back a lot of urine and had to unbutton his pants in the corner of the cold wind. After a relatively long "adventure" process, he finally "safely" completed the last "gasp". "Like.
No one saw me, and I was relieved of all the burdens on my body. It was extremely pleasant and refreshing.
On February 4th, New Year's Eve, Hong Yanwu suddenly relaxed physically and mentally, and he could only stay happily with his family to welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival.
What is the New Year scene like in Guanyin Yuan this year?
Not to mention, keeping pace with the astonishing speed of social development, there are really big differences in all aspects.
First of all, it is obvious at a glance that the overall brightness of the small courtyard has more than doubled, and the white and yellow colors complement each other.
But this is not because more people are setting off firecrackers, nor is it because there are new varieties of fireworks. It is because several families in the small courtyard have gradually begun to introduce fluorescent tubes into their homes as the main lighting due to the government's power saving requirements and the increase in electricity bills at home.
The advantage of this kind of light is that it saves electricity and is very bright. It does not cast color when seeing things, and it is convenient for the elderly especially when looking for things.
On the other hand, the not-so-good thing is that the light is blinding, overwhelming, and unobstructed. While creating the illusion of daytime, it also strips away the details in the darkness and the beauty of the past dim, soft light.
And it is a pity that if the children of any family come back from outside after dark during the season when dripping water turns to ice, they can only sense the direction of home from this light, and it is difficult to feel the warmth of home.
Secondly, in terms of taste. People are most familiar with the smell of winter cabbage, soot, and dust. Although it still constitutes the main flavor in the east courtyard of Guanyin Yuan every winter.
But what’s different this year is that the smell of soap has replaced the smell of soap, and the houses of the four families in the east courtyard are no longer filled with the smell of closed secret doors, but are filled with the fragrance of borneol and ancient ink. The smell actually refreshes the mind and makes breathing easier.
This is one of the annual gifts given to the Hong family by the Shou family, who is a world-famous medical expert. Shou Jing just made "Ping'an Powder" before this year's festival. This medicine cannot be taken. It is mainly sprinkled around the fire opening in winter. It is specially designed to prevent gas poisoning in winter. With this medicine, there is no risk of gas poisoning even if there is no wind in the house.
Just burning medicine like this every day costs 50 cents per room a day, which is not what ordinary people can afford. Several neighbors have completely taken advantage of the Hong family, so it is difficult for them to donate the prescription to the government as Aunt Bian wants to benefit the people of the entire capital.
As for the concept of taste, in addition to smell, it naturally also includes taste.
For example, eggs, white wine and semi-negotiated rapeseed oil are no longer limited in the Spring Festival supplies for Beijing residents this year. Among the food items in limited supply, additional items include 2 taels of scented tea priced at 4 to 8 yuan per catty, 2 taels each of aniseed, yellow flowers, and fungus, 20 catties of Chinese cabbage, one catty of food stamp tofu, and one catty of food stamp beans. products, etc.
In addition, "Nan Laishun" in Caishikou has also added snacks such as "Mi San Dao" that are not usually available.
Where the families in the east courtyard far exceed the overall level of the capital, each family can enjoy additional high-quality products from "Polar Bear". Concentrated orange juice, bayberry juice, pineapple, lychee, mud sausage, quail eggs, duck with pickled vegetables, stewed duck with mushrooms, braised pork, and canned hot and sour vegetables are simply more comprehensive than those in the store.
Like the Hong family themselves, it’s even more remarkable. Except for all this "polar bear" stuff. Dunhill, Marlboro and other foreign cigarettes were hung in the mouths of the Hong brothers.
Real "AOC" certified French red wine and orange-flavoured "Cointreau liqueur" are also on the Hong family's dining table.
But Xiao Hongjun and Hong Yi ate real chocolate, which was no longer the artificial cocoa butter substitute produced by Yili.
But what made the younger members of the Hong family grimace the most and criticized them collectively was the 40-cent foreign exchange coupon bottle of Coca-Cola.
Except for Hong Lucheng, Wang Yunlin, and Hong Yanwu, everyone who drank it called it a deceptive medicinal soup. Even Chen Liquan, who had drunk it, ignored it and was more interested in Polar Bear's "Special Soda" and "Yangmei Soda".
As for the sound, the endless fireworks and firecrackers can only occupy the outside world. As for indoors, in the households in the east courtyard, the chatter, laughter and chatterbox sounds of family members are no longer completely dominant. As soon as the TV screen is turned on, it's this thing's turn to have the final say.
Whether it's "Astro Boy" which just started airing at six o'clock in the evening, "Xinwen Lianbo" which starts at seven o'clock, or "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" which starts at eight o'clock. Children, the elderly, men, and women in the family all have to take turns being at its mercy.
Yesterday's Evening News just carried a relevant report, saying that there are already 420,000 TV sets in the capital, with an average of one in every three households. And out of the 420,000 units, 390,000 units were sold in the past two years. This kind of speed can only be described by the word "explosion".
Finally, the biggest difference lies in people’s spirits.
For example, the Hong family's Spring Festival couplets this year read "Apes crow over thousands of mountains, and chickens dance across thousands of houses", while the horizontal comment reads "Send the old and welcome the new."
Although it is just a few simple sentences, it contains a lot of content, and it is easy to see the feelings of the Hong family.
If you think about it, not only has the social atmosphere changed drastically this year, Hong Yanwu has come out of his depression, Hong Yanwen's future and marriage have also been settled, and what's even more incredible is that the Hong family's former enemies have turned into In-laws. Which one does not correspond to the word "change"?
As for other families related to the Hong family, the biggest commonality this year is that no one misses Hong Yanwu.
Like the Bian family next door, the Su family and the Shui family across the courtyard. There are also the Song family, the Chang family, the "Xiaobaizi" family, and the Yang Weifan family that are further away.
Even "Dadehe" who was drinking and talking at the lonely lamp with You San, the "general" and the sea bumpers far away in Bincheng, as long as Hong Yanwu is mentioned, everyone's heart will be filled with sincere admiration and thanks.
This year, it is no exaggeration to say that Hong Yanwu's image in everyone's minds is indeed a bit close to Comrade Lei Feng.
