Chapter 19 Dragon Boat Festival
In the past two days, Yang Fan's work has been very relaxed. Perhaps Kuang Wei took care of him secretly and did not assign any difficult work.
In the large office, colleagues were working hard, and it seemed very quiet. Yang Fan borrowed several ship-related books from the library inside the office, and took one of them for a while. After closing the book in his hand, Yang Fan thought to himself, today is Dragon Boat Festival, how can he celebrate it?
In the mid-1980s, the Dragon Boat Festival was not a legal holiday, and it still needed to go to work. This year's Dragon Boat Festival is working hours, so there will be no holidays, such as Yang Fan, who is at work.
The Dragon Boat Festival is usually celebrated with your family, eating rice dumplings and watching dragon boats. You must not see dragon boats in big cities like Donghai City, so you can consider zongzi.
Yang Fan was a little stunning.
From the 21st century to the mid-1980s, God gave him an opportunity to participate in the research and development and construction of the Type 052 missile destroyer, but he was basically alone.
My parents are no longer there, and there is only one sister who married in the countryside. Because I have always been obsessed with reading, I have fewer friends, and currently only one friend in Han Jiang.
Since we have come to this era, we will definitely make our own contribution to the research and development and construction of the 052 ship, and will not waste our full-minded technical knowledge in ships in vain. In addition, we cannot give up our own development. From now on to the next two or three decades, it will be a golden period of development, and there are many good opportunities. If we want to make some money and spend it, it should not be difficult.
I thought a lot in my mind, and gradually, the image of a young woman emerged unknowingly. Yang Fan wanted to wave her out of her mind several times, but he could not do it.
That was Yang Fan's sister who married in the countryside. Because her parents died early, the siblings depended on each other. Without this kind mother-like sister, it would be impossible for Yang Fan to be today. The owner of this body had a deep relationship with his sister.
Yang Fan now feels that it is not easy to deal with it, and he is not mentally prepared. After all, Yang Fan is not the Yang Fan of the past. It is difficult for him to adapt from the fact that he accepts such an older sister.
"Oh, I'm really a little headache."
Yang Fan sighed softly, and had to try his best to avoid it for the time being. After a while, let’s spend the Dragon Boat Festival alone and use work to pass the time.
"It's time to get off work, go eat rice dumplings."
"Yes, today is Dragon Boat Festival, and the unit canteen must have made a lot of rice dumplings. According to the convention, we should also make some delicious dishes that are rare in normal times."
“…”
There were still a few minutes before getting off work at 12 noon, and some colleagues couldn't help but put down their work and started getting off work, either going to the cafeteria of the unit, or going home to have lunch.
A young designer like Yang Fan naturally went to the cafeteria of the unit. Seeing that many colleagues left in just a few minutes, they raised their hands and saw that it was 12 o'clock, and Yang Fan also got up and left his seat.
"So many people!"
As soon as he arrived at the unit canteen, Yang Fan ate secretly. The number of people eating here today is at least twice as many as usual.
Because today is the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Brother Fan, why did you come? Fortunately, I came earlier."
Han Jiang had already arrived. Not only did he occupy two seats, but he also prepared the meals for them. Seeing Yang Fan's figure, he stood up and shouted loudly, while waving at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan smiled and walked over happily to sit down in one of the empty seats, "Oh, today's food is good, there are fish and meat."
Han Jiang said: "If I were a little late, I probably wouldn't be able to grab these things. I originally wanted to buy a few rice dumplings, but they have already been snatched up."
The masters of the canteen originally made a lot of rice dumplings, but because they were very affordable, they only had two taels of food coupons per, and many people bought ten or even twenty, and they soon disappeared.
I didn’t eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a bit regretful.
However, Yang Fan quickly thought about it. At least today's food was good. One portion of steamed fish, one portion of steamed pork with noodles, vegetables and soup, which were completely the standard for holidays. If it were normal, how could it be so rich? Generally, meat and fish are rarely seen.
"Yang Fan, you didn't buy rice dumplings."
Zhang Xiaodong was carrying a large string of rice dumplings, and there were 1 or 20. He happened to pass by Yang Fan and greeted him actively.
"Brother Zhang, you are lucky and bought a lot."
Zhang Xiaodong said: "I got off work several minutes in advance and finally bought some. I was lucky."
Seeing that Yang Fan had no rice dumplings, he took two words, "Try it, the rice dumplings in our unit canteen are well made every year."
I just felt a little sorry for not buying zongzi. If I don’t eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, it seems that there is a little missing.
"Brother Zhang, then I'll take it." Yang Fan said, taking out four taels of grain coupons, and the rice dumplings in the canteen were two taels of grain coupons one.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaodong waved his hand quickly, "No, no, there are only two rice dumplings, what other food coupons can we brothers collect?"
He insisted not to do so, but Yang Fan had to put away the few taels of food coupons and said a few polite words to Zhang Xiaodong. After watching him leave with the rice dumplings, he picked up one of them and gave them to Han Jiang, one of them.
Han Jiang was not polite, and seemed very happy, "Haha, I finally got the rice dumplings from our unit canteen. Well, it's delicious."
As soon as he peeled the rice dumplings, he took a bite and praised them as delicious. Yang Fan smiled and peeled the hot rice dumplings in his hand and slowly started eating them.
"Well, the taste is good. No wonder so many people come here to buy it. No wonder the rice dumplings in our unit's cafeteria are so popular."
The fragrance of glutinous rice and the fragrance of rice dumpling leaves are mixed together, and the texture is soft and glutinous, and the taste is a bit sticky, making the taste and taste very good.
If the full score is 100, the rice dumpling can be scored 7 or 80. If there is any disadvantage, it is that there is too little filling inside, only a red date is placed, no egg yolk, and no meat.
This is normal. The current material conditions are not as abundant and abundant as in the 21st century, and there are few of these things in the rice dumplings.
The two of them were eating and chatting.
After eating rice dumplings and lunch, I felt a sense of satisfaction. Today I had a tooth sacrifice and improved my life well.
"Brother Fan, today I will treat you to the evening. There is a new private restaurant that is good, so let's go there to eat." Han Jiang said this when he got up and was about to leave.
Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "I'll treat you to the restaurant you mentioned in the evening."
Two days ago, I was awarded 500 yuan for an outstanding translation job. I had money in my pocket, and Yang Fan seemed very generous. Anyway, I couldn’t afford a few yuan for two sumptuous meals.
The two have a good relationship and know that Yang Fan was rewarded with a 500 yuan. Han Jiang didn't insist and laughed, "Brother Fan, that's it. I'll wait for you at the gate of the dormitory after get off work."
Like Yang Fan, he is also a young designer and lives in the collective Su dormitory of the East China Sea Ship Design Institute.
That's all, the two got up and left the cafeteria together, because they could go to work a little later in the afternoon during the holidays, mainly to facilitate those with wives and children to go home to cook, and the whole family will eat a sail together during the holidays.
For example, Zhang Xiaodong just now hurriedly went home after buying rice dumplings. He was already married. At this time, the family probably had already started eating rice dumplings.
There is still a little time, so there is no hurry to go to work in the afternoon. The two of them are going to go back to the dormitory to rest first, and then go to work in the unit.
While walking, chatting and laughing.
It was not far from the unit canteen to the unit dormitory, and it took less than ten minutes to walk. I soon arrived at the gate of the dormitory. At this time, the old man at the gate of the dormitory saw Yang Fan, recognized Yang Fan, and shouted loudly.
"Yang Fan, am I looking for you?"
Yang Fan stopped and asked, "Uncle Li, what are you asking for me?"
"Someone is looking for you, and the other party said it was your sister. I have been waiting for you in the communication room for more than half an hour." Grandpa Li said.
"My sister?"
Yang Fan was stunned at first, and then the image of a young woman appeared in his mind, who was the sister with this body. Unexpectedly, she rushed over from all over the countryside.
this......
Yang Fan can't accept such an older sister for the time being. She is not prepared enough in her heart. She seems very hesitant to stand there. Seeing her, but still not seeing her...
