The annual gifts to be distributed to the workers were also organized by Liu Zhong, who led a team and brought them to the square in advance. When the workers dispersed afterward, they could queue up to collect and take them home directly.
For these annual gifts, Liu Zhong put in countless efforts, mulling over them every night before sleep.
Mrs. Qiu, annoyed by his muttering, was forced to join in and help with suggestions.
Ultimately, the couple jointly decided on the contents of the annual gifts.
Each person would receive ten pounds of coarse rice, two pounds of vegetable oil, and two pounds of coarse salt, amounting to one hundred cents altogether.
The matter of annual gifts was no secret to the workers, who had been delighted for days on end knowing about it in advance.
The day before the gathering, stewards from various workshops mentioned it, and today, the workers all brought their own containers to carry the goods.
