After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

When they saw Lan Xin, they greeted her. The women's laughter continued, but it was obviously much quieter.

Although most of them have watched Lan Xin grow up, or grew up with Lan Xin, for some reason, Lan Xin now, even if she doesn't put on airs, still has an indescribable majesty that makes it impossible for them to get along with her like before.

"Why don't you come into the house and work in the yard? Aren't you cold in this cold wind?" Lan Xin asked.

The yard of the educated youth site was quite large, with a thick layer of dry thatch on the roof and oilcloth underneath. It could block rain and sun, but it couldn't block the cold wind coming from all directions.

It's so hard working in the yard in this cold winter.

Several women replied with a smile, "It's not cold, we are all warm after being busy."

"That's right. Look, I'm all sweaty. I feel stuffy even when I enter the room."

Today is New Year's Eve, and every household is preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner and buying New Year's dishes. Whether it is the streets in the city or the market in the town, it is crowded with people before dawn. Many people in Lanjia Village wholesale Lanxin's tea eggs to these places to sell, and she sold dozens of them in the morning.

Not only were the women selling tea eggs happy, but even the people who cooked tea eggs in the village were very excited. They were full of energy and never felt tired or cold no matter how hard they worked.

As a result, the yard is naturally brighter and more convenient than the house.

"That won't work. Once we take some time off from work, we'll be all sweaty and easily catch a cold if the wind blows." Lan Xin looked worried, but the women waved their hands, indicating that they were in good health.

Lan Xin looked at the things on the ground and thought that she could just cook another pot and send it to the person who wholesales tea eggs, and then she could call it a day.

Nowadays, the tea eggs produced by the educated youth points are only supplied to Sanqing Mountain, nearby towns, and the markets in the communes. Last month, Lan Xin rented a shop in Yu County and transferred Lan Yongtian to the shop to cook tea eggs. Those who want to sell tea eggs in the city or get goods from the supply and marketing points can just contact him directly.

Originally, they wanted to transfer Ma Cuihua over there. After all, she is proficient in all the work and is the longest-serving employee. She has been in charge of everything for so long, so transferring her over would also be an opportunity for her to be promoted to store manager.

However, Ma Cuihua's family situation was complicated. Her two children were still so young, and her husband was in that state. She could not rely on anyone from her husband's family or her own family, and her family needed someone to help it, so she had to give up.

In any case, Ma Cuihua is now the manager of the tea egg supply and marketing point in Lanjia Village, and she is in charge of a group of newcomers.

The tea eggs in the county town will be finished later. When Lan Xin was in the county town, she went to see Lan Yongtian and greeted him. The tea eggs at the educated youth point can be finished after these are done.

Unable to persuade these people, Lan Xin had no choice but to cook a pot of hot ginger and sugar water to drive away the cold for them.

Lan Xin carried the things in her hand into the house. When the people in the yard saw what Lan Xin was holding, their eyes lit up, their necks stretched, and their eyes followed her into the house.

After Lan Xin left, there were whispers of people talking in the yard, but the voices were obviously lowered.

"What is Lan Xin holding?"

"I don't know, maybe someone asked her to buy the New Year's goods."

"I haven't prepared much for the New Year this year. My husband took out a loan to start a chicken farm next year. He goes out to learn technology every day and doesn't bring back a penny. Now it's almost the New Year and I'm here to make money. I don't know how my mother-in-law is preparing."

"Hey, I'm pretty much the same... If we had known earlier, we should have built this greenhouse to grow vegetables. Look how much money they're making."

"You know it's hard to buy something worth a thousand dollars..."

"It's not too late..."

Several women outside the shed in the yard were busy and chatting at the same time. Their hands did not slow down at all. They also wanted to finish their work as soon as possible and then go home to do housework.

All the women present were capable women in the village, and since they had chores to do at home, no one would be lazy, so the tea eggs were prepared quickly. They just had to be cooked until they were tasty, so there was no need for so many people to watch over them.

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone, just pack up and go home." Lan Xin said as she scooped out bowls of thick ginger and brown sugar water.

"Before leaving, drink two bowls of ginger and sugar water to warm your body."

Ma Cuihua, who was standing by, came over with a bowl and smiled as she helped pass it to the women. Lan Xin stood aside and waited for these people to line up. She picked up a bowl of brown sugar water and handed over a piece of meat.

A piece of pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts looks to weigh about two kilograms.

"This this……"

The first person who got the meat was so surprised that she was speechless. She looked at Lan Xin, then looked at the meat in her hand, thinking that Lan Xin had given it to the wrong person.

"Lan Xin, this meat is not mine. I didn't ask you to buy the meat."

Lan Xin, who was standing by, smiled and forcefully stuffed the meat into his hand: "This is a New Year gift, everyone gets a share, it's just a small token of my appreciation, thank you all for your help during this period."

"New Year's gift?!"

Everyone was shocked to hear this, as they had never thought that they could receive New Year gifts for working.

No, they had heard that the workers in the factory would also receive New Year gifts during the New Year and other festivals, but they didn't expect that they, a short-term worker, could also receive New Year gifts.

Everyone smiled happily, full of disbelief: "Is this really for me?"

"I've only been doing this for half a month!"

"That's right. Shouldn't it be given to long-term employees at the end of the year?" The woman who said this looked at Ma Cuihua.

Lan Xin explained with a smile: "Everyone gets a share of the annual gift, but there is still a difference between long-term and short-term workers."

She said she caught a big fat chicken out of the house. The chicken kept struggling and flapping its wings. It looked very energetic, and the meat looked chewy and delicious.

In addition to this big fat chicken, Lan Xin also had a pair of big pig's trotters and five pounds of pork belly in her hands. She handed all these things to Ma Cuihua.

"These are New Year gifts from Sister Cuihua. They are New Year gifts from her as a long-time employee and my right-hand man."

"Sister Cuihua, this is a small token of my appreciation. Thank you for your help over the past six months. I wouldn't be so relaxed without you. I have the results I have now, and I have to thank you for everything."

As an old employee, Lan Yongtian also had the same configuration, except that he lacked a pair of pig's trotters, which were specially given to Ma Cuihua by Lan Xin as a benefit for her as the first employee.

After hearing what Lan Xin said, Ma Cuihua felt warm in her heart. Tears streamed down her face and her voice choked with sobs.

"What do you mean I helped you? You should have helped me. Without you, our family wouldn't have had a meal. It was you who gave me a job and a way for our family to survive. I should be the one thanking you."

The women watching on the side felt a lump in their throats and their hearts ached, but they still tried to comfort the man.

"Cuihua, just accept it. This is a token of Lanxin's love. If you accept it, you must work hard next year."
