Chapter 141 Giving Gifts in the Provincial Capital
We are preparing to visit Vice Principal Bai Wei's residence to deliver a carefully prepared New Year's gift, as a way of expressing our respect and best wishes to her.
Zhao Yuan, Feng Jun, and Gu Xuefeng, along with the two drivers, excitedly carried two large pigs and slowly walked towards the door of Principal Bai Wei's office.
Upon arriving at the door, Zhao Yuan raised his hand and gently knocked.
A moment later, a familiar and gentle female voice came from inside the room:
"Come in."
Upon hearing this sound, Zhao Yuan and the others pushed open the door.
"Principal Bai, I've come to deliver your research findings to you. Please come over and check if they meet the standards."
Upon entering, Zhao Yuan and the others placed the two pigs steadily on the ground and quickly laid down a layer of oilcloth to prevent the pig's blood from soiling the office floor.
At this moment, Principal Bai Wei, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up in surprise, walked quickly to the door, looked at the scene before her, and asked with a face full of doubt:
"Zhaoyuan, what are you doing?"
Her gaze fell on the two pigs, her eyes filled with confusion.
Zhao Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned:
"Principal Bai, we've come to deliver the research findings from our institute to you! Please take a look and see if our bumper harvest this year is up to standard."
Principal Bai Wei looked at them, both amused and exasperated, and said:
"Zhaoyuan, why did you suddenly bring me such two big pigs? This really puts me in a difficult position. We haven't been of much help to each other, so I feel unworthy of this."
Although she said that, she was still very touched.
Zhao Yuan quickly waved his hand and explained:
"Principal Bai, please don't say that. If it weren't for your and the university's strong support for our research institute, how could we have achieved what we have today? It's all thanks to you. Besides, these are pigs we raised ourselves, green, healthy, and pollution-free, and we can enjoy fresh and delicious pork without needing meat coupons. Please accept them with confidence, everyone should try them, I guarantee they taste incredibly good!"
After saying that, he showed a simple and honest smile.
"Principal Bai, how many employees does your animal husbandry department have? Do you need us to help you cut it up and divide it into pieces? Do you want it cut into chunks? But don't include the professors and researchers in our research institute, because the farm has already given them their benefits in advance!"
Zhao Yuan looked at Principal Bai Wei and asked.
Principal Bai Wei smiled and readily answered:
"There are still 18 people remaining at the school. You can divide them into 18 equal groups."
As soon as the words were spoken, the two drivers quickly got to work. They skillfully retrieved extremely sharp special knives and a sturdy, durable cutting board from their vehicle, and then began to enthusiastically butcher the pork on the spot.
Before long, the two originally whole and plump pigs were evenly divided into 18 portions by their superb skills.
Immediately afterwards, Principal Bai Wei personally gathered all the professors and researchers at the school and had them collect their share of fresh pork in an orderly manner.
Everyone happily accepted the heavy pork in their hands, their faces beaming with joy and satisfaction.
After all, having worked diligently in the field of animal husbandry for so many years, this is the first time I've had the opportunity to enjoy eating meat to my heart's content like today.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan thoughtfully said to Principal Bai Wei:
"Principal Bai, let us take this meat home for you; it's inconvenient for you to carry it back. Are you about to leave work now?"
Principal Bai Wei nodded slightly and replied:
"Okay, we're already on holiday, and there's nothing urgent at school, let's go together."
After saying that, she followed everyone into Zhao Yuan's car, which slowly started and drove smoothly towards Principal Bai Wei's house.
Throughout the journey, everyone chatted in a relaxed and pleasant manner, and the carriage was filled with a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
After safely delivering Principal Bai Wei to her home, everyone worked together to help move various items.
The piece of pork weighed several dozen kilograms and was brightly colored; a box of ham sausages emitted an enticing aroma; a box of instant noodles was neatly arranged; there was also a box full of colorful candies and snacks, and a box of fragrant braised dishes. These abundant foods were all moved into Principal Bai Wei's home.
Principal Bai invited everyone to have lunch at her home, but Factory Director Qi Yong was still busy working at the factory and not home. Seeing this, Zhao Yuan didn't want to bother them too much, so he simply drank a cup of hot tea, got up, said goodbye to Principal Bai, and left.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuan led everyone to the homes of Secretary Bai Bin, Secretary Luo Zongguang, the canteen director of the provincial chemical plant, and relevant personnel from the provincial machinery plant. They also brought large chunks of fresh pork, as well as various food and candies carefully made by their own factories, to express their sincere gratitude for the support and assistance these people had given to Zhao's Food Factory.
Time flies, and it's already afternoon.
After a whole day of running around, the five people finally succeeded in delivering all the prepared gifts.
Finally, Zhao Yuan personally drove both factory directors, Feng Jun and Gu Xuefeng, home.
At this point, the truck, which had been full of gifts, was finally empty.
Without time to rest, everyone set off again on their journey back to Jinyang County.
Along the way, the winter sun shone through the car window, bringing a touch of warmth to my tired body.
When we arrived in Jinyang County, night had already fallen, and every household was brightly lit.
It was dinnertime, and the aroma of food filled the streets, making one's mouth water.
The next day was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Without any rest, Zhao Yuan led several local middle-level cadres to carry out a care campaign in the village.
They plan to visit impoverished families and elderly people over 60 years old in the village one by one, and deliver heartfelt gifts.
Impoverished households refer only to those who fall into poverty due to uncontrollable reasons such as illness or lack of labor capacity in their families.
In this day and age, poverty seems to be a common phenomenon.
Despite the existence of Zhao's farm and Zhao's food factory, the lives of many people in the village have improved, at least they no longer have to worry about food and drink.
However, some families still cannot enjoy this benefit because no one in their family can work in the Zhaoyuan factory, so they live a very difficult life.
In addition, there are some special circumstances in the village.
Some people are lazy by nature, like mud that can't be plastered on a wall, doing nothing all day long;
