Two generations of military wives compete for time

Junhua stood up and said, "Great uncle, I wish you a happy birthday. May you live as long as the Southern Mountains and be as blessed as the Eastern Sea. We children have been prepared and have rehearsed well. Now we will sing a song for everyone. The song is called "Sunflower"

The twelve children immediately stood up, lined up in an orderly manner, and prepared to sing: "Be a self-reliant sunflower, smile at you and me every day, and hope that I can grow up quickly, bloom in the future and become a dreamer.

Be a sunflower that stands tall and proud. No matter how big the difficulties are, don’t be afraid. Set out to light up the road ahead and pick your own glory. "

Applause broke out,....... The birthday peaches were served, and photos were taken,.......

Yang Ruolan said: "Grandpa and grandma, adults and children, you are welcome to come to the children's playground of the Yang Mansion to play at any time. Don't be shy."

Ding-ling-ling, Qian Yizhen's cell phone rang: "Mr. Qian, this is the driver Xiao Sun. The comrade from Jilin who I contacted a few days ago has replied to me. He can buy rice from local villagers and sell it to us. He wants to negotiate the specific matters such as quantity, unit price, advance payment, transportation, etc."

"Xiao Sun, that's great. I'll call my secretary Zhang Chuanren right now." Qian Yizheng hung up the phone.

He immediately called the assistant's office: "Hello, is this Secretary Zhang Chuanren? Mr. Qian, please wait a moment, Secretary Zhang, Mr. Qian wants to see you."

"Mr. Qian, I'm Zhang Chuanren, please go ahead." Secretary Zhang Chuanren took the microphone and said.

"Secretary Zhang, driver Xiao Sun has a comrade-in-arms from Jilin named Wang Guanglin who can help us buy rice. Notify the financial departments of all companies and report to you the names of all employees who are currently on the payroll and make a statistics based on the amount of ten kilograms of rice per person.

Also contact Secretary Liu Xinyue and ask her to give you the list of employees in Minzhen Qizhi Company. During the Spring Festival, I also need to bring gifts to visit relatives and friends, thank leaders, and expand my network. I will add another 100 people.

After you have counted the quantity, find the transport team leader and ask him to dispatch a truck so that our company can transport the rice back. I will ask the driver Xiao Sun to go with you."

"Who was Yizhen talking to on the phone? Why did he talk for so long?"

"Yuanhui, the Spring Festival is coming soon. I have to prepare benefits for the employees, as well as the year-end performance appraisals and prizes that need to be distributed."

"You are such a busy man. Just make a general budget and let your subordinates handle the details. Be careful not to overwork yourself."

"Yuanhui, we have found a source of rice. Driver Xiaosun's comrade in Jilin can help buy rice from his hometown. We will send people and vehicles to purchase the rice in the next few days. We will strive to ensure that all employees who make Dreams Come True can eat Northeastern rice during this Spring Festival."

"Yizhen, let me remind you that at present, our country's grain and oil market has not been liberalized. You are buying rice from farmers privately. This is an illegal act of speculation and disrupting the market. You should be careful."

"Yuanhui, I know the country's grain and oil policy, but I don't think this is speculation, because I bought it for my own use and didn't make any illegal profits from the price difference. I'll ask Yiyun to help me analyze it from a legal perspective. Don't worry, I will never do anything illegal."

"Yuanhui, Yizhen, what are you two talking about? The color TV, refrigerator, and washing machine I bought from Hong Kong have been shipped to the provincial capital railway station. Remember to send a car to the railway station to pick up the goods this afternoon.

It's Chinese New Year, and we in the Chen family have to buy some new things to add to the atmosphere of the New Year. I haven't celebrated the New Year in the mainland for many years, and this year I want to feel the flavor of the Chinese New Year." Aunt Chen Mengwei said with a smile.

"Okay, aunt. I'll arrange someone to pick up the goods at the train station this afternoon. These are all new things. People from the mainland rarely see them." Qian Yizheng said happily.

In the conference room of the office building of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd., Qian Yizhen, Professor Jiang Yuhan, the textile factory's deputy administrative director Zhang Zhixin, deputy technical director Zhang Jiyong, deputy production director Yue Huijin, administrative section chief Li Daohong, and financial section chief Xu Xiuqin held a meeting to discuss the specific implementation methods of year-end rewards and punishments, the distribution of Spring Festival benefits and other matters.

"In order to improve work efficiency, I proposed to Chairman Chen Haoyu and Vice Chairman Chen Mengwei that each person in charge of the company above the middle level should be equipped with a Nokia mobile phone.

We have signed a purchase contract with the postal department. It is estimated that next week, our company's middle-level and above managers will be able to use mobile phones. I deeply feel that mobile phones are much more convenient than landlines. "Qian Yizhen said as he picked up his Nokia phone and waved it in front of everyone.

There was applause in the conference room.

"There is another issue, which is the prize for this year's advanced workers. What kind of prize is both practical and can motivate employees? Let's brainstorm and express our own opinions.

Now most of our employees' families have just solved the problem of food and clothing. There is a shortage of materials and a strong demand. Motorcycles, bicycles, sewing machines, color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other large items in society are still luxury goods for villagers in remote mountainous areas. What prizes can we use this year to best motivate our employees? "Qian Yizhen said.

"We'll talk about color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines later, because many employees' homes are scattered in the surrounding villages. Some villages don't have electricity, and even if some villages have electricity, the villagers are reluctant to use them for fear of spending money, so let's forgo electrical appliances," said Zhang Zhixin, deputy factory director of administration.

"Bicycles and sewing machines can be used as prizes. Motorcycles are also fine, but they need to be refueled, and the cost of fuel is also a considerable expense." said Yue Huijin, deputy production manager.

After discussion, everyone agreed that bicycles, sewing machines, and motorcycles would be the prizes for advanced workers. After the prizes were determined, the ratio of advanced workers was agreed upon, and then the number of advanced workers was calculated. Finally, the number of prizes to be purchased was confirmed, and the financial department submitted a budget and prepared funds.

Since the number of bicycles, sewing machines and motorcycles purchased was large, Qian Yizhen was a little troubled in this era of supply by coupons. Professor Jiang Yuhan said: "Everyone here, think about whether you have friends in the Commercial Bureau or the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, preferably leaders who have the final say, who can help our company through the back door and approve a note. Let's brainstorm and take the initiative. I will also ask if there are any of my students who can help." Everyone nodded in agreement.

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the year-end summary and commendation meeting of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd. was held as scheduled. Fifty bicycles, covered with big red flowers, were lined up and neatly placed on the left side of the rostrum. Thirty sewing machines and ten Suzuki motorcycles, covered with big red flowers, were lined up and neatly placed on the right side of the rostrum.

Cousin Chen Mengwei, Professor Jiang Yuhan, the textile factory's deputy administrative director Zhang Zhixin, deputy technical director Zhang Jiyong, and deputy production director Yue Huijin sat on the rostrum.

Qian Yizhen stood on the podium, holding a loudspeaker, and delivered a year-end summary speech. Employees from various companies and workshops sat neatly and orderly under the podium, listening attentively.
