Chapter 942: Annual Party and Lottery
Editor: Henyee Translations
Tong Shuitao found it strange. “Miss, haven’t you almost bought everything? Why are we going to the cloth shop?”
“Isn’t the workshop going to rest in two days? It’s time to prepare New Year presents for them.” This year, the workshop would stop a few days earlier than last year, so everyone could prepare early for the New Year.
After all, there were many workers in the workshop this year and they were busy all day. There was enough stock, so it did not matter if they were given a holiday a few days in advance.
Tong Shuitao was enlightened. “That’s right. Last year, Miss also sent a large cart of New Year goods.”
She had heard that many people in the workshop were looking forward to this day. They were already secretly guessing if she would continue to distribute meat and cloth this year.
Especially the newcomers this year, they were all asking the short-term workers last year.
“But Miss.” Tong Shuitao suddenly frowned and said awkwardly, “Will it still be a big piece of pork for each person this year? But it’s already afternoon, and there’s not much meat at the meat stall. Our workshop has more than a hundred people.”
“There’s no hurry. I’ll get Tong An to come over and buy it later. There are more than a hundred people. I’m afraid we have to order two big fat pigs in advance. Let’s buy the things we want for the annual party today.”
Tong Shuitao was stunned, and confusion flashed across her face. “Annual party? Miss, what is an annual party?”
“Uh… it is the last gathering before the new year. We’ll eat together, chat, play games, and so on.”
Of course, there was also the lucky draw.
Gu Yundong was very happy to hold such a New Year celebration to make everyone happy. They had worked hard for an entire year. On the last day, they could relax and then go home happily to celebrate the New Year.
At this moment, what she wanted to buy was the prize for the lucky draw.
Tong Shuitao became excited, and her face turned slightly red. “Miss, you’re saying that more than a hundred people will be eating and chatting together? How spectacular is that?”
Spectacular…?
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. Looking at Tong Shuitao’s excited expression, she seemed to be looking forward to it.
Gu Yundong quickly bought the goods and returned to Yongfu Village with Tong Shuitao.
Before leaving, she said to Zhuangzi and Chen Jincai, “You guys close early on the 26th. Go back to the village and let’s have a meal together.”
The two of them were at a loss. A meal?
However, the two of them immediately nodded, indicating that they would go back early.
On the other hand, Tong Shuitao winked at the two of them before she left, looking mysterious, making the two of them even more confused.
The carriage quickly drove into Yongfu Village. With the new road, it was much easier for the carriage to travel.
There were still many people on the road. The road had been built for a few days, but the villagers still seemed to have not walked enough. They had to pass through this road no matter where they went. It did not matter if they took a long detour.
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. She did not look at the people outside anymore and hurried home to unload the goods.
The next day, the Gu family started making rice cakes.
On the third day, in the evening of the 25th, Gu Dajiang brought Gu Dafeng and the others back from the prefectural city.
Gu Dajiang was stunned when he saw the new village road. Although Chen Jinbao and the others had already mentioned this when they were delivering the goods to the prefectural city, he couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
This was his daughter’s road. It was his daughter’s credit.
At that moment, Gu Dajiang’s heart surged with indescribable pride.
Gu Dafeng was also sitting in the carriage. Looking at the spacious road, she sighed and introduced it to Bian Han excitedly. “This road originally didn’t exist. When I left last time, this place was still very narrow. There was even a courtyard in front.”
