The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Lin family's reunion dinner started on time. Before the meal, Lin Zhiyuan and Li Gang took Xiao An and Asu to pretend to step on a few balloons in the yard to hear the sound and to create a scene.

Since 1993, the setting off of fireworks has been banned in Yanjing, but this is the first year that the Lin family celebrates the New Year in Yanjing.

This made Lin Dajun, who loved setting off firecrackers, very unhappy. He muttered a few words, saying, "How can it still be called the New Year if we don't set off firecrackers?"

This year's reunion dinner was the one with the fewest Lin family members. Li Zhenshan and his family did not come, Zhou Tian and Zhou Hai were in Ge'an, and Xue Zhaokuan and Xie Wei were both in Yangcheng.

But even so, there were eleven people, big and small, sitting at the big round table.

As the elder, Su Qiancheng said a few auspicious words. They were all family, so there was no need to be particular, so they just started eating.

The food on the table was prepared by Ning Xiufen, Lin Ningjing and Su Jin, with obvious Northeastern characteristics. Foods like chicken stewed with mushrooms and stewed pork chops with sauce are the most typical Northeastern dishes. The only thing that is a little different is that there are more seafood on the table. King crabs, lobsters and shrimps take up half of the table, occupying a large area.

Of course, these seafood were given to me by others.

Since there were no outsiders, the family ate faster. Lin Zhiyuan, Lin Dajun, Su Sheng and Li Gang finished a bottle of Moutai and the battle was over in an hour.

Lin Zhiyuan asked Su Qiancheng and other old people to go back to their rooms and rest for a while, as they had to stay up late to watch the Spring Festival Gala!

He and Li Gang made a pot of tea in the living room and chatted for a while.

Drinking the ten-year-old big leaf raw Pu'er, Li Gang was very emotional, "Zhiyuan, I never thought that it would be the new century. Ten years ago, I was a small team leader in the steel mill. At that time, I had no house to live in and squeezed in with my parents. You had no place to live and had to live in a single dormitory. At that time, I could never dream that I would have such a good life today."

Li Gang is very satisfied with his life now. He is now a director-level cadre in Gegang, which is very impressive in Ge'an. Before the end of last year, Zhou Hai cleared out all the high-end houses in Bagua Market. The 50 high-end houses that Li Gang and Lin Ningjing bought before sold for 10 million. Li Gang now has money and power. He is respected wherever he goes. He also has a virtuous wife and a happy family. For a man, there is really nothing to regret.

"Brother-in-law, life will definitely get better and better." Last year was a very significant year for Li Gang. Li Gang became the deputy production manager of Xingang Company, a full-fledged director-level cadre. He was also officially a member of the middle and senior cadres within Gegang. "Brother-in-law, how do you feel about coming to Xingang Company? Is your work going well?"

"It's OK. I'm still doing my old job of production. However, the working style of the government is very different from that of the grassroots. Everyone speaks and does things in a very formal way. I'm also trying to adapt."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled. Like Lin Dajun, Li Gang started out as a worker at the bottom of the factory. Although he had his own help, he also relied on his own efforts to reach his current position step by step. In him, the straightforward style of the working class has not completely disappeared.

"Brother-in-law, I have a suggestion for you."

"Zhiyuan, you say it, and I will do it." Now what Lin Zhiyuan said is very important to the entire Lin family, especially Li Gang. He knows himself well. Without the support and help of his brother-in-law, he would never be able to sit in his current position even if he works himself to death.

"After you return to Ge'an, you can go to university to study business administration. First, you can study for a bachelor's degree through correspondence. If conditions permit, it is best to get a master's degree. For you, production is your main business, so there should be no problem. However, from the perspective of the group company, when measuring the comprehensive quality of a cadre, in addition to production, management and sales cannot be lacking."

Lin Zhiyuan has a long-term vision for issues. The current Gegang is in a critical period of transition from the old to the new. Old comrades like Qiu Ruhai, Yao Peichen, and Xu Dayou are gradually retiring, and young and middle-aged cadres like Jiang Daqing and Shi Mingguang are emerging.

Now Shi Mingguang is the deputy general manager of Gegang and also serves as the general manager of Xingang Group. In another three or four years, Shi Mingguang will definitely be given greater responsibilities. By then, the position of the top leader of Xingang Group will be vacant, and Li Gang may be able to fight for it.

Li Gang looked embarrassed. "Zhiyuan, you know my basic level. It was a struggle for me to study for a junior college. You want me to study for a bachelor's degree and take the postgraduate entrance examination. Can I do it?"

"Brother-in-law, everything depends on human effort. In fact, on-the-job education is just that. From an economic perspective, the school will not make it too difficult for students like you who spend money. You can register first and wait until the exam. No matter what, it's always a good idea to learn more knowledge."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Around five o'clock in the evening, several elderly people got up one after another, and Lin Zhiyuan played a few rounds of mahjong with them.

Xiao An and Asu squeezed on the sofa, eating dried fruits, drinking beverages and watching TV.

There were all kinds of fruits and dried fruits on the coffee table. Xiao An only picked dried fruits like pistachios and almonds to eat. Lin Dajun was very unhappy when he saw this and said something to Xiao An, "You are just a kid, why are you so picky about food? Why don't you eat such delicious peanut butter?"

"Grandpa, peanuts don't taste good, but pistachios and almonds are delicious." Xiao An speaks without restraint.

Lin Dajun was so angry that he gave the two children another lesson on how to recall the past and think of the present. "Why are peanuts not delicious? I couldn't eat them when I was a child. Even when your mom and uncle were young, they could only buy two kilograms of peanuts with coupons during the Chinese New Year. They couldn't bear to eat them at that time..."

Lin Ningjing smiled, "Dad, it's not that time now. You can't always look at the present with old eyes."

Lin Dajun was in a bad mood and went to the yard to smoke.

After six o'clock in the evening, Lin Zhiyuan's mobile phones began to get busy. There were constant text messages and phone calls, all wishing him a happy new year. The constant ringing of the phone made Ning Xiufen uneasy, "Hurry up and give the cards to Xiaojin to play with. Go do what you need to do and stop bothering me here. There's a call every now and then, a text message every now and then..."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and gave his seat to Su Jin, then hid in the study with a few mobile phones.

Leaders from Ge'an, Gegang, Yanjing, Yangcheng, and all the major companies under his charge almost lined up to send him New Year's greetings. Often, before one phone was hung up, another phone would ring. Just making and receiving calls and replying to text messages made Lin Zhiyuan sweat.

Finally, with no other options left, Lin Zhiyuan picked out a relatively creative New Year greeting text message that someone had sent him, and sent it to a group of people using several mobile phones. Only then did the situation calm down a bit.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala begins.

Everyone crowded in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

This year is the first year of the new century. The Spring Festival Gala is very lively, and the theme of western development has been added.

At half past eight, Lin Zhiyuan's cell phone rang. It was the number that only his closest family and friends knew. Lin Zhiyuan flipped open the screen and took a look at the number. It was Li Zhenshan.

He held his phone, turned away from the TV, answered the call and said with a smile, "Brother, Happy New Year! I want to call my godmother to wish her a happy new year later!"

Li Zhenshan's voice was anxious, "Zhiyuan, come over right away, my mother's condition is not good."
