Chapter 215 Holiday
"Then what should I do?"
"Just let it be. Do we really have to spell everything out? Time will naturally push things forward."
Xing Yinan suddenly realized what was going on. She hugged Xia Youan's neck and started kissing him. "Xia, the best thing I've ever done in my life is being your best friend!"
"Hmmmm~"
The two of them made a fuss for a while before they remembered their business.
Xia Youan said to Xing Yinan, "Old Xing, how do you think we should decide on the year-end benefits?"
Xing Yinan sat up straight and thought for a moment, "Why not just give out more money? I don't want to rack my brains."
Alas, she didn't want to rack her brains. There were only five or six people on Hyundai's side. She could just take them along when the Xia Group distributed benefits, and take advantage of them whenever she could.
"It's no problem to give more money here in the modern world. You can buy whatever you want. But it's better to buy some daily necessities in Da Chu.
Most people are still relying on relief, which only ensures they don't starve to death. Although our employees have wages and can buy food, who would complain about having too much food at home at this time? "
"That's easy! Rice, oil, pork, vegetables, hahahahaha~ And the tangerines that have been tormenting us throughout the Spring Festival. We can't just be tormenting us, give them a whole box each, so that we can all suffer together."
Xing Yinan became more and more excited as he spoke, and Xia Youan lay on the sofa and began to list, "You can just get the rice and oil from the soy sauce shop, there's no need to buy them separately.
As for pork, should we buy a hundred pigs and let them kill them themselves? Wouldn't that create a more festive atmosphere?
When Xing Yinan heard Xia Youan talking about buying live pigs, she quickly stopped him and said, "My dear aunt, please give up this unreliable idea as soon as possible. Do you want your bed to stink to death? You will have to sleep on it when you transport too much cargo in the future."
Xia Youan was stunned, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. Forget it, let's just buy some that are killed and cleaned.
I'll buy my vegetables from Modern. They're more expensive in Fengxiang County, but they're not a problem for sales. I'll buy a box each of mandarin oranges and apples; they're both very cheap anyway.
There are usually elderly people and children at home, so each of them can get a bag of milk powder and a gift pack of snacks."
"These should be enough, right? Although they are not valuable, they are still quite useful. What about the people in the palace? And Ming Jue and the others. They eat and live in the palace, so rice and oil are of no use to them."
As Xing Yinan was talking, he also lay down on the sofa. The two of them each occupied a seat and chatted seriously.
"In addition to these, the palace also made new clothes for each person and prepared some cakes and candies.
I won’t give gifts to those who come to modern times, but will take them on a trip during the New Year.
If you don’t have rice, oil, meat or vegetables, you can replace them with cooked food and snacks, and give them an extra month’s salary.
That's it, whatever happens, it gives me a headache just thinking about it."
The employees' benefits were decided so hastily.
By the end of the twelfth lunar month, the ice sculptures in Beichuan have basically been completed. They are embedded with LED light strings and are ready to be officially unveiled two days before New Year's Eve.
Xia Youan and Xing Yinan had nothing to do, so they watched a lot of videos about city decoration and ordered thousands of big red lanterns to be hung all over the streets of Pingyang County.
Countless LED light strings were ordered to light up the bare trees on the main street.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. After distributing the holiday benefits, everyone was given a holiday and returned to work after the Lantern Festival.
If the holiday benefits prepared by Xia Youan were put into modern times, they might be criticized by employees.
But in Da Chu, those were all real good things, especially for the female workers in the garment factories. Not to mention meat and fruit, even rice and oil were rarely available.
The palace also gave people a holiday. Those who had homes could go home, those who had relatives could visit their relatives' homes, and those who really had nowhere to go stayed in the palace.
Chu Moyuan looked at the palace which suddenly became empty, and felt deeply touched by this year.
Looking at Du Qianhao who was standing there without moving, Chu Moyuan asked, "Du Qianhao, are you going home for the New Year?"
Du Qianhao bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, my wife and children are here. For safety reasons, I will not be coming to the palace for the time being."
"Your child is here too? Then you can leave later. I'll go over and pack some snacks for you.
I'll bring you the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.
"If you need anything else, just ask. You've worked hard with us this year." Xia Youan said happily.
"Where will your wife stay when she comes?"
"Your Highness, I would like to borrow a finished house from you for temporary accommodation. I will return it after my wife leaves."
Chu Moyuan readily agreed. The soldiers were all living there, so there was no need to worry about safety. "Okay," he said, turning to Du You and saying, "Du You, give the key to the County Magistrate's Mansion to Du Qianhao."
"Du Qianhao, I will give you the house in the County Magistrate's Mansion. You can let your wife and children stay here. If it's too cold, you can stay in the finished house for a while. The facilities there are more convenient.
Although Pingyang County is useless now, it will be built within two years. Let's work hard in the future!"
Du Qianhao was so excited. He didn't follow the wrong person. He was so glad that he was abducted back.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will. If Your Highness needs to go out during the New Year, don't worry about this place. I will definitely protect Pingyang County."
After Du Qianhao and Du You went to get the key to the County Magistrate's Mansion, Xia Youan also loaded snacks and some remaining supplies into the camper van and transported it over, filling up the entire van.
After Du Qianhao left, in addition to Ming Jue and the others, there were still more than 30 guards and secret guards in the palace who did not leave.
Chu Moyuan looked at them and asked, "Aren't you guys leaving?"
"Your Highness, we are free and have nowhere to go."
Chu Moyuan glanced at Xia Youan, who understood immediately and nodded slightly.
"All of you please follow me!"
Chu Moyuan, Xia Youan, and Xie Youzhi walked in front, Du Zuo, Du You, Mingxian and others followed in turn. More than thirty guards and secret guards who had never been to the modern era walked at the end of the team.
When they arrived at the warehouse and everyone went in, Mingxian locked the door from the inside. The guards didn't know what he meant and all looked at him.
"There's no one in the palace, so lock it for peace of mind. Just unlock it when you come back in the evening."
The guards were confused, but didn't ask.
The space-time channel opened, and a warm feeling came over me.
Xie Youzhi and his companions walked over one after another, and Ming Xian and Ming Jue followed suit naturally. Only the thirty or so people who came later had blank minds, just like when they first arrived.
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s not a big problem. Just stay for two more days and everything in my mind will come back to me.
Back in the modern era, Chu Moyuan, Xia Youan, Xie Youzhi, and Qingying went directly to Xia's house.
Du Zuo and Du You stayed behind to make arrangements for them.
