According to Jiang Yu's calculations, two batches of steel products, totaling 720 tons, would arrive at home before the year.

This prediction is quite reliable. By the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the last batch of steel products before the year has arrived.

Then the Chinese people began to enter the New Year period, and Daheihe Island will also be closed, and there will be no more transactions during the New Year.

Years later, Daheihe Island was opened on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and trading could still be carried out on the Longjiang River for half a month. Then Longjiang entered the opening phase, and all transactions stopped. Trading will not continue until the ship can be opened on May Day.

Half of the steel that arrived two years ago went to Shuangxi Factory, while ten tons of steel that arrived in Fengwobao Village went to Yao Hongwen's kitchenware factory.

They also need steel, and these ten tons of stainless steel are enough for them for half a year.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the machines in all the factories of Weilai Enterprises stopped running.

Next they will have a nine-day holiday.

Originally, Jiang Yu was planning to take a holiday on the 27th, but when he looked at the calendar, he unexpectedly discovered that this year is also the Xiaojin New Year, and there is no lunar 30th.

He remembered that it was Xiaojin’s New Year last year, why would it be this year?

Because of this, the holiday came early to the 26th.

After the shutdown at 10 o'clock, the employees spent an hour cleaning up the workshop area, and then sent things home for the New Year.

This year, no company came to Weilai to promote their products. Weilai itself did not go out to purchase. Jiang Yu just paid.

As long as you are an employee of Weilai Enterprise, you can get 300 yuan per person.

There were more than 3,000 employees in all branches of Weilai Enterprise, for which Jiang Yu paid one million.

Employees who live far away also save the trouble of carrying large and small bags.

Jiang Yu also hired four buses from the passenger terminal to send employees who lived far away in batches back home.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, the usually noisy business was as quiet as a virgin, with only those who were on duty staying behind.

At the same time, Fengwobao Luggage Factory and Electrical Appliances Factory were also on holiday, and the entire Fengwobao Village fell into a rare state of tranquility.

Couplets have been pasted on both sides of the door of the shoe factory, giving it a New Year atmosphere.

Jiang Yu drove a Jiangling car from the shoe factory back to Huangling Village, and happened to see Yang Jianyong coming out of the air filter factory.

Yang Jianyong now holds two positions, and he is also the director of the air filter factory.

"Gong Yang! Have everyone from the filter factory left too?"

"They're all gone, except for the two on duty."

"How are these workers in the filter factory doing now?"

"There is no problem anymore. We have made some samples and they fully meet the requirements of the diesel engine factory. We will start mass production as soon as the diesel engine factory starts construction."

Diesel engine factories produce qualified engines, but it is also difficult to establish a brand. To be recognized by others, you need to let people know. The way to make others know quickly is advertising.

In addition to advertising, it is also a car show.

It's just that in the 1980s there was only one car show, Shanghai, and it was held in a single year. This year is a double year, so I have no idea.

As for the Beijing Auto Show held in even years, it will have to wait until two years later.

As for product trade fairs...it seems that there really weren't any in the north in the 1980s.

If not, can’t we get one?

To organize a light industrial machinery product exhibition, the first step is to do it within the province, then expand to the three northeastern provinces, and then absorb enterprises from central China, and finally become a national exhibition.

It's just that holding such an exhibition requires approval from many departments. Let's talk to Fu Dezheng about this and see if there is any possibility of holding it.

"Gong Yang! After the Chinese New Year, I will build you a house and take care of things for you and Liu Shuxiang. I have chosen the address for you. There happens to be a vacant land next to my house, and your house will be built there. .”

Yang Jianyong was a little embarrassed: "Director Jiang! How is this good?"

"When men get married, women get married! What's there to be embarrassed about!"

Yang Jianyong felt that something was wrong with these words.

"Did you still ask Liu Shuxiang to go home for the Chinese New Year?"

Yang Jianyong shook his head: "It's not convenient to live with my son. Besides, we haven't developed to that stage yet."

Jiang Yu was immediately discouraged.

"Then let everything take its course!"

Both the trolley box factory and the pressure cooker factory have their doors closed, with only the small doors open.

Jiang Yu said hello to the doorman, went in and took a look around, then completely relaxed and went home to celebrate the New Year.

This year, Jiang Yu barely touched the New Year's goods at home, as his father took care of them.

After Jiang Dongsheng had nothing to do, he was busy doing New Year's shopping these days, buying fish, shrimps, meat, vegetables, cigarettes, wine, and firecrackers.

With him so busy, Jiang Yu had nothing to do.

But I was not idle either, sweeping the yard and posting couplets.

Not only the yard of one house was swept, but also the yard of Bai Feng's house was swept.

Bai Feng came over and dragged Jiang Yu to sweep the yard like a strong man. Then Bai Feng was driven away far away by her mother with a stick.

"What do you think about asking Xiaojiang to sweep the yard? Is he the one who sweeps the yard? You little frivolous thing, see if I don't beat you to death, so you can tidy up for the New Year."

In her eyes, Jiang Yu is now like a god. For her daughter to be favored by others is a blessing accumulated in her previous life.

But this little devil actually asked someone to clean the yard, so he must be beaten.

The Spring Festival of 1988 came amid auspicious snow.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, a heavy snowfall covered the entire Fengwobao Village in white.

Even on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, snowflakes were still falling in the sky.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yu walked out of his house and went from house to house to pay New Year greetings as usual.

Except for the Bai Feng family. Although he and Bai Feng are not married yet, he is already recognized as the son-in-law of the Bai family in Huangling Village. According to local customs, as long as he is a son-in-law, he cannot visit his mother-in-law's house in the third year of junior high school.

Finally Jiang Yu came to Yang Wan's house.

Yang Wan's shop was packed with people. Almost all the unmarried young men in Huangling Village gathered here.

Zhang Shanbo, Li Qingxian and Lu Changhe are also here.

"After the tractor is sold, what are you going to do in the future? Or do you want to just sit down now?"

"We have discussed it. During the Chinese New Year, we will drive more cars and learn bus tickets. Didn't you say you would get a car for us to drive?"

"Can you think of driving for a month and earning two dollars?"

The current price of driving a car is 260 a month, can these guys still see it?

"This is not a question of money, we just feel that we can't be idle at home, at least do something."

"You don't have to drive. Our Fengwopu Village now has more than 2,000 migrant workers. Next year there will be migrant workers. In the future, there will be tens of thousands of migrant workers in Fengwopu Village. With so many people, there will naturally be There are various needs. You can do business to cater to these needs. It’s not bad to be a small boss.”
