Before I knew it, it was about to come again.
In the factory, everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the upcoming New Year, but the work was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Zhou Ziwen busy shuttled through various workshops in the factory, checking the operation of the equipment, ensuring that all equipment can operate normally before the holiday, and preparing for production after the New Year.
He had a cordial conversation with the workers, asked about their work progress and living conditions, expressed his gratitude for everyone's hard work over the past year, and specially prepared generous year-end benefits for the workers so that everyone could go home happily for the New Year.
When returning home, Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi have already started to prepare for the New Year.
The living room is full of festive red lanterns, and the windows are covered with auspiciousness, and the strong New Year atmosphere is everywhere.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan ran around the house excitedly, helping the adults do something within their ability, sometimes helping hand something, sometimes around the kitchen door, staring at the food being made in the pot.
Little Ruiqi is not willing to be outdone. She followed her brother and sister staggeringly, saying "Help" in her mouth. Although she was not sure what she was going to do, her cute appearance made everyone laugh.
Zhou Ziwen was filled with happiness when he looked at this lively and warm scene.
He joined his family and prepared the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner with Chen Qiaoyi, discussed with Chen Shiying how to decorate the home, and accompanied Shen Zhaodi to tease Xiao Ruiqi. The whole family worked together to make full preparations for the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Ziwen took his children to the street to purchase New Year's goods early in the morning.
The streets are decorated with lights and colorful lights, people come and go, and it is very lively.
A variety of stalls are filled with a wide range of goods, including fresh fruits, delicious candies, various firecrackers, and various Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures that symbolize auspiciousness.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan looked at everything around excitedly, with a light of curiosity and joy flashing in their eyes.
They were traveling through the crowd, picking what they like, sometimes clamoring for this toy, sometimes clamoring for that kind of snack.
Zhou Ziwen also laughed as he looked at the children's happy appearance. He patiently satisfied the children's small wishes and took the opportunity to tell them some traditional customs about the New Year, so that the children could feel the charm of traditional culture in joy.
After returning home, the whole family sat together and started pasting Spring Festival couplets.
Zhou Ziwen is responsible for pasting the first couplet of Spring Festival couplets, Chen Qiaoyi helps hand over the Spring Festival couplets and glue. Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan are competing to paste the second couplets. They are serious about adults and carefully paste the Spring Festival couplets on the door. Although they are not so neatly posted, everyone enjoys it.
After posting the Spring Festival couplets, they all came to the Zhou family to prepare to have a New Year with everyone.
The eldest brother and second brother, eldest sister-in-law and nieces came over.
The whole family gathered together, instantly making the room more lively.
The children chattered together, sharing each other's interesting stories and new toys, while the adults watched from the side, with happy smiles on their faces.
Zhou's father and mother looked at the children and grandchildren in the hall, and their eyes narrowed into a slit.
Dad Zhou said with emotion: "Time flies so fast. Another year has passed. Seeing our family so harmonious, your mother and I feel at ease."
Mother Zhou also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Ziwen has been busy with her career outside this year, and her family is also thanks to Qiaoyi, Shiying and Zhaodi to take care of her. Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Qiaoyi responded with a smile: "My mom and dad, don't say that, this is what we should do. The whole family doesn't speak two words."
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law Lin Xiaomei and the second sister-in-law Liu Huifang walked into the kitchen and took the initiative to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Lin Xiaomei smiled and said to Chen Qiaoyi, "Qiaoyi, I heard that you have been helping with marketing in the factory recently, and the results are very good. You are so amazing!"
Liu Huifang also praised, "Yes, we have all heard that Ziwen has helped you, and his career will definitely be prosperous."
Chen Qiaoyi said a little embarrassedly, "It's the result of everyone's efforts together, and I just did something within my ability."
Several people were chatting while skillfully cutting and cooking vegetables, and the kitchen was filled with laughter and joy.
In the living room, Zhou Ziwen talked about work and life with his elder brother Zhou Jianhua and his second brother Zhou Guohua.
Zhou Jianhua said: "Ziwen, I have heard of your research results in the field of intelligent machinery. I am so proud of you. Our family will count you as promising."
Zhou Guohua also nodded in agreement: "Yes, you still manage the factory so well. You have to teach us more in the future."
Zhou Ziwen said modestly: "Brother and second brother, don't praise me. Everyone works hard in their respective positions. Let's learn from each other. The policies are getting better and better now. As long as we are willing to work hard, life will definitely get better and better."
After playing around for a while, the children felt a little bored. Xiao Yueyue suggested, "Let's play games, just play riddles, and those who guess correctly will be rewarded!"
Everyone thought this idea was good and responded one after another.
Xiao Xuanxuan volunteered to be the questioner. He thought for a while and said, "Bite off the ox's tail in one bite, and type it!"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥ said⊥Send the first post in ⊥6⊥9⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The nieces and nieces frowned and thought. Xiao Yueyue's eyes lit up and she said loudly: "I know, it's the word "苏"!"
Everyone applauded, and Xiao Yueyue jumped happily.
Then, everyone took turns to give the questions, and the living room was filled with a atmosphere of thinking and cheers after guessing the answer.
Amid everyone's laughter, the New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready.
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law served a series of dishes with good color, aroma and flavor on the table, including braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, etc. Each dish is loved by everyone.
The whole family sat around the table, looking at the table full of delicious food, and couldn't wait.
Zhou Ziwen raised his wine glass and said, "In the new year, I hope our family is healthy, safe and happy, the children's learning progress, and our adult careers are smooth. I also hope that our big family will always be so harmonious!"
Everyone raised their wine glasses one after another, and the sound of clinking glasses and blessings intertwined, echoing in the room.
After the reunion dinner, it was getting darker.
The firecrackers outside are getting louder and denser, and fireworks are beginning to bloom in the night sky.
Zhou Ziwen brought the children to the yard to set off fireworks. The children excitedly held the firework sticks, waved them in the yard, drawing brilliant light and shadow.
The adults stood aside, watching the children play and enjoying this warm moment.
The light of the fireworks shines on everyone's face, and everyone's smiles look particularly bright.
On New Year's Eve this year, the reunion of the family has become particularly warm and unforgettable, and everyone is full of expectations for the new year. (This chapter ends)
