Meng Jihua is a big fan of Jinbao. Although he is studying in Canada, he occasionally browses Ningbo News through Jinbao officials.
Every year during the Spring Festival holiday, I have classes abroad. Two days ago, he cooked home cooking with several overseas students and had a New Year’s Eve dinner in advance. Yesterday, he shared this special "New Year’s Eve" with reporters. Xi ‘an’s classmates made fried buns, Suzhou’s classmates made sweet and sour tenderloin, Chongqing’s classmates made spicy chicken gizzards, and he made a seafood soup …
During this year’s Spring Festival travel rush, Hyundai Jinbao joined hands with Ningbo Federation of Trade Unions to raise funds for "Going Home and Micro-recording" for employees and readers in the city. Pictures are pouring in, and behind them are warm stories about "Year".

Made a seafood eight-treasure soup
Amazing all the little friends.
I am 36 years old. When I was a child, I lived in my grandparents’ home in Fenghua. I can say that I have deep feelings for Ningbo. I came to Canada a year ago to study as a graduate student and started my overseas study.
Although I have lived abroad for the past two years, I have always kept the official micro-signal of Modern Golden Newspaper in my mobile phone. I brush the news in my spare time and feel that it is not so far from Ningbo. Some time ago, I saw the crowdfunding "New Year’s Eve" by Modern Golden Newspaper, and I wanted to contribute a draft to tell the story in my heart.
Among Ningbo seafood, my favorite is swimming crab, which likes steaming. In those years when I lived in Ningbo, every autumn when I ate crabs, I made swimming crabs at both ends every three days, and sometimes I made them in a different way. In foreign countries, whenever I see seafood in the supermarket, I can’t help but buy it for processing and making it.
There is no Spring Festival holiday abroad, so I have to attend classes at school during this time and can’t go home for the New Year. In a foreign country, I miss my relatives twice every holiday. Fortunately, during the Spring Festival, schools and local Chinese communities will have Spring Festival Galas, and everyone will watch the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. When I feel homesick, I will FaceTime with my family. Life is not difficult.
Because we have evening classes on New Year’s Eve, I had a reunion dinner with five overseas students in advance, which was full of the smell of my hometown. Students in Xi ‘an made fried buns, students in Suzhou made sweet and sour tenderloin, and students in Chongqing made a spicy chicken gizzard. Because I didn’t buy the swimming crab, I made a seafood eight-treasure soup for everyone, which has already surprised everyone.
These days, as long as we have time, we will get together and regard it as Chinese New Year. I’m a good cook, so I can show my skills in cooking seafood, such as bread crabs, mussels, scallops and so on. Many of my overseas classmates are drooling at the name, and they all want to come to Ningbo to taste the authentic little seafood. Two of them have been to Ningbo before, and they have tasted the glutinous rice balls of the jar ducks and dogs, and they never forget the taste.
In fact, every time I go back to Ningbo, I am really proud of the rapid changes in this city. I hope my hometown is getting better and better, and China is getting better and better. This is the wish of every overseas student.
It is especially warm for overseas sons to come back to visit relatives.

Accustomed to eating the delicacies outside.
My favorite is Ningbo Tangyuan.
"The salmon brought back from abroad is very fresh, so be sure to try it!" Recently, my neighbor mammy gave me a very special Chinese New Year gift, saying that it was brought by my son who had settled abroad to visit relatives.
The last time my neighbor’s mother’s son went home was three or four years ago. He didn’t see each other for a long time. The elders in the family always missed him and asked, "Is the child coming back?" At this time, the neighbor’s mother can only shake her head regretfully and tell her elders: "Foreign holidays are different. They celebrate Christmas, and their children are busy with their studies and work, so they can’t come back during the Spring Festival."
Although everyone didn’t say anything, they still had regrets in their hearts. It is good for a big family to be neat on the reunion day.
This year, the child finally came back with his pregnant wife, and soon a new member will be added to the extended family. The family members who got the news in advance were overjoyed.
The neighbor’s mother specially went to the small restaurant in town to book the New Year’s Eve dinner, and the menu was full of home-cooked dishes, in order to make the wanderers who had not been home for a long time feel at home.
Not only that, nephews who work in first-tier cities also come back to visit relatives with their children, and the elderly who live alone on weekdays get together with children of different generations, which is particularly lively. Located in the countryside, the same fireworks, another kind of holiday warmth.
In particular, I am used to eating delicacies outside, but Ningbo glutinous rice balls are everyone’s favorite. A big bowl is served and every one is eaten. Because of work, Mammy’s son didn’t stay until New Year’s Eve and left early. Mammy stuffed a big bag of dried plums in his luggage, not forgetting the taste of his hometown.
The best taste of the year is the hometown dishes cooked by relatives and friends.
Sharer: Xie Youran
Friends and relatives cook a hometown meal together.
This is the real taste of the year.
It’s the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and it’s customary for wanderers to go home. On this day in anxious to return, I finished my day’s work, packed my luggage in a hurry, went to the railway station and set foot on my journey home. 15 hours, 1216 kilometers, this is the distance from my hometown to my work, what does this distance mean? It means that I may be concerned about being late, having little company, being absent at important moments, and having regrets that are hard to fill when I am in where will you go.
During my eight years working in Ningbo, I missed many important moments that I never participated in, and my family never bothered me too much because they wanted me to work with peace of mind. When I was fighting all night for a repeated revision of an activity plan, what I didn’t know was that the whole family was celebrating my grandmother’s 70th birthday. What I didn’t know when I was in a meeting to discuss the work goal and task assignment for the next quarter was that my mother was lying on the cold operating table, doing an operation that she didn’t think was necessary to worry me about; When I was on my way to the company on duty during the New Year holiday, what I didn’t know was that my grandfather died suddenly in his sleep before the New Year came …
Walking in our thirties, we have too many insincere and involuntary words. For me now, every time I go home for the New Year, my relatives and friends cook a delicious meal with the flavor of my hometown, and I get a reunion in the smoke. This is the taste of happiness, this is the taste of the New Year, and this is the New Year. After the Spring Festival, the broken firecrackers will see me go far away from my hometown. Love is on the side, not afraid of the road ahead.
Employees at a thousand-person banquet
Sharer: He Yibo
Five-star hotel holds a banquet for thousands of people.
Ordinary employees taste happiness.
The annual New Year’s Eve dinner can be said to be the most important "reunion dinner" of Shuanglu Battery, which is an old tradition of big families. In the past, we used to hold it in the company canteen, because there were many people in the big family, so we had to hold it in many venues. The leadership of the company has always had a wish that all employees can sit together and get together. In 2017, we held two banquets for thousands of people in Tiangong Manor. In 2018, the company went upstream with double-digit growth in performance, and the management of the company proposed that the harvest results should be shared by all employees.
This time, the place of our New Year’s Eve dinner was chosen in the international conference center of Nanyuan Hotel, a five-star hotel, with hundreds of tables for three consecutive days. The scene is full of red lanterns and blooming flowers, and there are jubilant scenes everywhere. Seriously, many old employees who have worked in the company for more than 20 years are a little excited.
Qin Deyun came from Nanchong, Sichuan, and worked in Shuanglu Battery for 22 years, from an ordinary employee to the workshop leader. "I didn’t expect the company to invite us to a five-star hotel for dinner. It’s so happy."
On the New Year’s Eve, employees can not only eat a big meal with their bellies open, but also enjoy performances by professional actors and singers, and there is also an exciting game lottery. In addition to regular rice and cooking oil, there are Huawei mobile phones and commemorative gold coins with collection value.
At the scene, the most exciting thing is that the general manager Wang Jianhao announced a heavy news: in 2019, the salary of all employees of Shuanglu Battery was raised. At the scene, applause boiled.
This lunch is the couple’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Sharer: Bao Hao
It is rare for couples to rest at the same time.
Ordinary lunch becomes "New Year’s Eve"
In the ground service department of China Eastern Airlines Zhejiang Branch, as long as Xu Qin and Wu Haiyan are mentioned as "husband and wife", everyone always looks envious.
Husband Xu Qin is a teacher of load balancing, and his wife Wu Haiyan is the team leader of VIP room. As a pair of "post-80s" couples, they have integrated their mutual care and love into the dribs and drabs of life and work. Every Spring Festival, they give up reunion with their families and stick to their front-line posts.
"The ground service work is to arrive at the post before 5: 40 every day, and it depends on luck when you get off work." Spring Festival travel rush is the busiest time for them. Although they are in the same unit, they have been married for 8 years, and there are almost no friends at home. The children are taken care of by grandparents. In case of rain and snow, the flight is delayed in a large area, and sometimes it takes a whole night.
This year, the passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush is getting higher every day. The couple gave up their rest time and joined the volunteer team in party member, Spring Festival travel rush. Yesterday, it was rare for the husband and wife to have a rest at the same time. After finishing the housework in the morning and having lunch in a hurry, they hurried to the airport to help guarantee the flight.
"Either I go to work or he goes to work. Spring Festival travel rush basically didn’t eat together at home this year. On New Year’s Eve, we have to have a’ reunion dinner’ with our colleagues at the post. This is our husband and wife eating’ New Year’s Eve’ in advance. "
"One person sticks to Wanjiaan, one family is not round", which may be their best portrayal of work.
