Chapter 209 It’s New Year’s Eve
Ji Sisi asked, "I noticed that Jiang Sirou didn't have any new orders last month. Did something happen?"

“She was sick last month and has been resting at the educated youth settlement. She has had a cold and fever for half a month and it hasn’t gotten better yet, it keeps coming back.”

"It's been going on for half a month and it still hasn't gotten better. Why didn't you go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Hu Zhibin shook his head, "I went to see a doctor, and they just said it was a cold and told me to rest."

"If it doesn't get better for too long, send the person back to the provincial capital next time you go back, and take them to a big hospital to get them checked out so they don't develop pneumonia."

Jiang Sirou often brings things for Ji Sisi, so she can help with this.

Medical care at large hospitals is definitely better than in the village, and recurring fevers and colds should not be ignored.

"Then I'll tell Gao Shu later."

After finishing the business, Ji Sisi thought of Hu Zhibin's wedding banquet, "By the way, you haven't gotten married yet?"

When asked about the wedding banquet, Hu Zhibin smiled sheepishly, “We’re married now. I originally wanted to invite you and your brother-in-law, but it was too far away, and the factory’s trucks weren’t available at the time, so I didn’t want to make you go through the hassle of traveling back and forth.”

"Manager Ji, you won't blame me, will you?"

"What's so strange about that? Although you couldn't come, I still brought my good wishes today. This is a small token of my appreciation from your brother-in-law and me. I wish you and Yan Hong a happy marriage."

Ji Sisi took out the wedding red envelope she had prepared.

"I really couldn't think of anything good to give you, but don't worry, there's no money in this."

These were all coupons that were relatively hard to obtain, such as cotton coupons and industrial coupons. Hu Zhibin certainly wasn't short of money now, and the two of them starting a small family would definitely need to buy a lot of things.

Hu Zhibin hesitated whether to accept it.

Ma Xiaoqin, who was standing next to him, teased, "Manager Hu, you and Manager Ji are so familiar with each other, you're not going to still be going through the motions of being polite to each other, are you?"

"Xiao Qin, if that's what you said, then I'll accept it."

Ji Sisi was amused.

"There's no need to be so polite, Xiaoqin. Don't worry, I'll prepare everything for your wedding."

"Manager Ji is definitely generous. I'm going to get married soon because of what you said."

Ma Xiaoqin smiled happily.

During Ji Sisi's absence, everyone was initially unaccustomed to it and couldn't make up their minds about anything, big or small, so they all came to ask her for advice.

At first, she was also afraid of making the wrong decision.

Ji Sisi had taught her to make the worst-case scenario plan before making a decision, and to see if she could handle it.

Fortunately, nothing was ruined.

As everyone gradually got used to Ji Sisi's absence, the heads of each department also began to take charge and shoulder the responsibilities that a person in charge should bear.

Then Ji Sisi called a meeting with several responsible persons to discuss the work direction for next year.

The focus should gradually shift to markets outside the province, and the transportation department should be established as soon as possible.

Master Shi and Master Jiang's apprenticeship fees remain the same as before, including New Year's gifts and bonuses for the two masters during the Spring Festival.

The apprentices trained by the two masters are now able to drive, but they all need someone to accompany them. They haven't even started learning auto repair yet.

"Thank you all for your hard work over the past six months. I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance, and I hope that we can run the factory even better and achieve even greater success next year."

The factory has now gone from being unable to make a profit to earning over 100,000 yuan a month.

Ji Sisi planned to go back and think about what other beef or mutton side dishes she could make.

The current three models are still a bit too few.

"Manager Ji, don't worry, we will definitely work hard."

The group was full of energy.

With things mostly settled at the factory, Ji Sisi planned to wait for Master Shi to return after delivering the goods before going back home.

With the Spring Festival approaching, even though there are few people in the residential compound, the air is filled with the festive atmosphere. Every household has been saving money all year, and as soon as the New Year arrives, they start buying meat to cure and smoke bacon.

The research institute also gave out New Year's gifts, including enriched flour and grain oil.

Qi Yan carried the New Year's gifts into the house, where Ji Sisi was sitting to the side, operating a sewing machine.

"Why are you making clothes again? The child already has enough clothes. Won't they have too many to wear?"

Ji Sisi lifted her foot, "Children grow quickly, and clothes don't last long enough."

“I have nothing to do at home, and besides, I can’t stay idle. Making clothes can help pass the time.”

After abandoning her clothing business, Ji Sisi began experimenting with cordyceps in the soil of her space, discovering that the peach orchard was growing many Ganoderma lucidum and other precious medicinal herbs.

Previously, she only went to the Peach Garden Spring to soak in the water or drink water, and she never noticed that these things were growing in the Peach Garden.

The soil in the spiritual spring is much more fertile than normal soil. If you irrigate it with spiritual spring water, the things that grow there will definitely be much better than those in the real world.

"Let's not do it for now. We'll have dinner in the cafeteria tonight as a way of celebrating the holiday a day early. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we'll all be going there for dinner later."

Qi Yan helped Ji Sisi to the sofa to rest.

"I have three days off for New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival. Do you want to go to the city and join in the fun?"

“Great! I haven’t been to the county town in a long time. I’ll bring some things to wish Sister Ping and the others a Happy New Year. The New Year is all about being lively and festive.”

Ji Sisi sat down. "Does our family need to prepare some New Year's goods? This year, Sister Hongying said she wants to celebrate with us, and Miaomiao and Lin Peifeng are also coming."

"No need, you don't eat those things anyway. I asked Brother Zhang to bring back some fruit, which you usually like to eat."

Ji Sisi was both amused and exasperated after hearing this. "I don't want to eat, but I still need to have something. Besides, we can't just let them sit here all the time. They have to eat something."

"Tomorrow morning, you and Lin Peifeng go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and buy some."

Qi Yan couldn't resist and had to nod in agreement. Fortunately, it wasn't Ji Sisi who wanted to go, but rather he and Lin Peifeng who were instructed to go.

"Sisi".

"sister in law."

As soon as you mention Cao Cao, he arrives; the Lin siblings bring gifts to your door.

Qi Yan looked over and saw that the two of them were carrying freshly distributed high-gluten flour and cooking oil.

Lin Miao said, "I live alone in the dorm and don't need these, so I brought them to you."

"Me too. Anyway, we'll be eating at your house during the Chinese New Year, so we can't just leave without giving you anything."

Ji Sisi looked at the two large bags of rice and high-gluten flour, as well as two small buckets of oil.

“There’s a very important issue. I don’t usually cook, so why don’t we send some of these things to Sister Hongying? She always cooks at our gatherings, which is a bit of a hassle for her.”

Li Hongying enjoys cooking in her spare time, and these things are the most practical to send to her home compared to what they provide.

Ji Sisi considered that Li Hongying would definitely not accept too much, so she could only give these things to her gradually.

Lin Miao and Lin Peifeng quickly took another set of things to Li Hongying's house.

Soon, Li Hongying's voice of gratitude could be heard from next door.

"I heard that tonight's dishes are all fancy, including sweet and sour fish. It only happens once a year."

As soon as Lin Peifeng returned, he shared the gossip he had heard with everyone.

It's not easy to get fish here.

Ji Sisi's mouth watered when she heard about the sweet and sour fish.

"There will still be fish to eat?"

Happy National Day everyone! The book is almost finished too~
