Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

The Lunar New Year of 1980 came as promised. On New Year's Eve, Chu Jianghe and the others got together to prepare for a lively New Year.

In the minds of people like them, the Gregorian calendar year is not considered a Chinese New Year. Only after the Lunar New Year can it be considered a true Chinese New Year.

The entire Hong Kong Island is also filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, with dragon and lion dances, and fireworks at night.

Liu Yunfang and Zheng Yueyue, with the help of the servants, prepared a large table of dishes, including fish, shrimp, chicken and duck, which was very rich.

It’s not that Chu Jianghe can’t afford high-end ingredients such as abalone and lobster, it’s just that most of them are from the mainland. First, they are not good at cooking those things, and second, they don’t find them very delicious when they eat them. Good luck.

Chu Jianghe even thought about buying a pig in two days, and it would be nice to eat a butchered pig dish.

When the food was ready, Liu Yunfang wanted the servants to come over to have some fun, but they refused to serve it.

Chu Jianghe advised: "Don't force them. This is their usual style. Let them go. At most, you can just give them a big red envelope tomorrow."

Although Liu Yunfang had good intentions and felt that letting these servants eat together was a sign of respect for them.

But in the minds of Filipino maids, they just do a job, get paid to do it, strictly abide by their professional ethics, and deliberately maintain a distance from their masters, and do not get too close to them.

Their biggest rule is that they never eat at the same table as their master. They have to wait for the master to finish eating first and eat the leftovers by themselves, either in the kitchen or in the nanny's room. Liu Yunfang's enthusiasm just makes them confused.

After getting along for a long time, Liu Yunfang gradually got used to the existence of these servants. Except that the cooking was not to her liking, there was nothing else she was dissatisfied with.

Not only are these Filipino maids not lazy, on the contrary, they are very diligent and dedicated to their duties.

Except for the daily work, he never uses the owner's things, does not put the owner's clothes in the washing machine together with the owner's clothes, does not sit on the owner's sofa, and does not watch TV, etc.

After a long time, Liu Yunfang felt that she was starting to become lazy.

Liu Yunfang saw that she couldn't persuade them, and her husband said so, so she had no choice but to let them go, and then warmly greeted everyone to eat.

Ma Liang came to the dining table and saw the table full of delicious food. He exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, you have cooked so many delicious things!"

Liu Yunfang smiled and said: "I am not alone in making these. Yueyue and I made them together. There are also servants helping me. You can eat more later."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, as long as my brother doesn't make me drink, I promise to eliminate all of these."

Zhang Li laughed and scolded at the side: "You kid, okay, as long as you really eat all these things, I will stop you from drinking tonight, how about it?"

Before Ma Liang could retaliate, Zheng Yueyue reprimanded: "You think you have a high drinking capacity, and you blocked it all. What big talk? You are sleeping on the sofa today when you are drunk."

Facing Zheng Yueyue's reprimand, Zhang Li smiled sheepishly, saying that he had a pretty good drinking capacity, but it was still not as good as Zheng Yueyue's, so he couldn't give any reason to refute.

Seeing Ma Liang snickering at the side, she glared at him fiercely.

A few people were chatting and laughing, which was quite lively. Lao Wu and Chu Jianghe laughed and watched a few people bickering.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yunfang quickly smoothed things over: "Today is a good day, everyone can just do whatever you want and come over for dinner."

Several people sat down in different positions, and Zhang Liang and Ma Liang started coaxing Chu Jianghe to say a few words.

Chu Jianghe didn't want to say much at first. They were all members of his own family, so we just wanted to have a meal together.

But after a while of pushback, he picked up the wine glass, looked around at everyone, and said: "Unknowingly, we have been together for almost two years. Since we are together, it is fate. Come on, let's have a drink first. "

Everyone raised their glasses together and poured the wine into their stomachs. They couldn't tell what it was like.

Zhang Li was very moved by Chu Jianghe's words: "If it weren't for Jiang He, I might still be working at the grain station in the town."

Although he could not get hungry or freeze while hanging around at the grain station, he was just dawdling around. He was better than the average person, so how could he be as happy as he was now, let alone meet the girl Yueyue.

Zhang Zhang's big hand grasped Zheng Yueyue's delicate little hand. Zheng Yueyue seemed to sense Zhang Zhang's emotions and squeezed the other person's big hand with her own hand.

Ma Liang also said: "Thinking about these days, I always feel like I am dreaming. I remember last year I was still worried about food. Now I have moved to Hong Kong Island to live in a luxury house. No one can tell me about it. believe."

Lao Wu took a bite of the food. Although he didn't say it, he felt the same in his heart. If he hadn't met his boss, he might be struggling to make a living on Hong Kong Island now.

Given his age and what good work he could do, he might just go begging on the street.

The fate of a person's life is truly unpredictable.

Seeing everyone's expressions of emotion, Chu Jianghe first took a few bites of vegetables to cushion his stomach, poured a glass of wine, stood up and said with a smile: "We are celebrating the New Year, and we are starting to feel sad about spring and autumn. Let's think about it and be happy. It’s rare for us to get together for this matter. Along the way, we have made some achievements. This is inseparable from everyone’s contribution. I would like to toast everyone with this glass of wine.”

"Okay", everyone also smiled and stood up to raise their glasses together, and then drank together.

After a while, Chu Jianghe picked up the third glass of wine: "With this glass of wine, I wish you all a happy new year and a new beginning. Don't be complacent because of the small achievements in front of you. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future." Our good days are still going to be long.”

After Chu Jianghe finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass in one sip, and everyone also drank it.

"Now that I've said something nice, I'll say something ugly."

Ma Liang said: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhang Li also said, "Yes, Jiang He, just say whatever you have to say."

Chu Jianghe said to the two people: "You two think that your life is better now? You can enjoy it? You are totally wrong!"

Thinking that today is the Chinese New Year after all, Chu Jianghe softened his tone and said, "Although everyone didn't say anything about you going out to fool around some time ago, you all know it in your heart. I didn't want to criticize you too much, but since today Having said that, let’s open the skylight and speak openly.”

Ma Liang and Zhang Li lowered their heads in shame. Liu Yunfang couldn't bear to see the two of them like this and pulled Chu Jianghe.

Chu Jianghe was unmoved and continued: "I'm not alarmist. Look at the rich people in Hong Kong Island. Ten or twenty years ago, there are only a few of those who once made waves in Hong Kong Island. ? Do you think your achievements can compare with those people?"

"There are many smart people in this world, so don't be smart and arrogant."

The so-called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Where are the families and companies that have been prospering for a long time? How many wealthy families and companies have made no mistakes at all, but they just can't keep up with the times and are left behind by the wheel of history.

Just like Jorma Ollila, the current CEO of Nokia, when he announced his agreement to acquire Microsoft at the press conference, he said the last sentence: We did not do anything wrong, but for some reason, we lost.
