"Your third uncle says every day that if you don't have enough food and clothing, you won't have poverty. If you don't calculate it, you will suffer poverty. You don't really believe it, do you?"
Yan Jiecheng nodded. He really thought that his family's life was only possible because of the old couple's good calculations.
Now when I heard Xu Damao talk about it, I suddenly realized it.
In later generations, he was also in his thirties, so it was hard to understand this.
It's just dark under the lamp.
"Hehe, the third uncle actually ignored something."
Xu Damao took a bite of the food and handed the cup to Yan Jiecheng, who quickly filled him up with wine.
Waiting for him, Uncle Xu had a drink.
Xu Damao then continued: "Your father's salary is actually not low. He can make money and can calculate, so he has room for balance."
"But the third uncle, he has forgotten that he can make money, all he can do is make calculations."
"As time goes by, you brothers and sisters will only learn half of the family tradition, and you will become scheming. Aren't you useless!"
Yan Jiecheng smiled bitterly in his heart and really let Xu Damao speak.
Xu Damao, he is really good at judging people!
"But your current salary is similar to that of the older generation, not to mention the younger generation." Xu Damao gave a thumbs up as he spoke.
Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "Hey, you're still doing this with me. No matter how much I get paid, I can't compare to you, the projectionist, and I still can't do this."
You must know that the projectionist at this time is not ordinary.
Why is Xu Damao so eloquent?
Many films of this era were silent and required projectionist explanation.
Going to the countryside to show movies is not just to enrich the cultural and entertainment projects for the masses.
The more important purpose is to publicize and explain policies.
Let the grassroots know the national policies. So there is this form of entertaining and educating.
This is an important means in the new era to consolidate victory and solve the problem of imperial power not going to the countryside.
Yan Jiecheng picked up a piece of chicken, said with a smile, and put it into his mouth.
"Hey, that's not the case. No matter which village I go to, he has to curry favor with me."
Seeing this opportunity, Yan Jiecheng told Xu Damao. Yan Jie was too weak and needed to be replenished, so he asked him if he could get some fine grains and meat.
Xu Damao patted his chest and said proudly: "Brother, you are slapping me in the face. Xie Di is also my sister Xu Damao, so take care of me."
Seeing that Yan Jiecheng didn't believe it, Xu Damao had no choice but to tell the details.
Xu Damao became a regular player last week.
For the sake of his son, Xu's father asked someone to transfer his job to the cinema.
In this way, on the one hand, I don’t have to rush to the countryside often.
On the other hand, there is only one projectionist left in the steel rolling mill, and Xu Damao's position seems irreplaceable.
Now he has gone to the countryside to watch movies alone.
Each screening has a mission, but what should the village do if they want to watch one more show?
Just bribe the projectionist!
But everyone knew that every time Xu Damao went there, the village would arrange food and accommodation.
As well as entertainment items, they are all dry goods, bacon, chickens and ducks.
These are all things he learned from Xu’s father’s screening.
Father Xu told him how to express that something was too little and how to ask for more.
There are routines to these, and no master can teach them and tell them the truth. If you insist, everyone will be embarrassed.
The village is indeed short of food now. The villagers are short of food, but the production team is not short of food.
They have been poor for several lifetimes, haha. How many people can not think about it when they suddenly see so much food and supplies?
Therefore, several cadres on the team often did things to line their own pockets.
After all, not all villages are like Zuojiazhuang. They are members of the same clan, and they are somewhat particular about how they do things.
Nowadays, it happens to be the end of the year, and all production teams are sharpening their knives to work on pigs and sheep. Producing meat is really not difficult for Xu Damao.
So, this is the world. Wherever you go, it all depends on relationships. What is easy for others, but finding a way to do it is more difficult than reaching the sky.
After two bottles of wine, there was only soup left from three dishes.
The two chatted for a while and praised Jia Dongxu's wife's singing.
That is, this time made the two of them laugh.
At the same time, concerns were expressed about Jia Dongxu.
Yan Jiecheng looked at the wall clock at Xu Damao's house and saw that it was already ten o'clock.
Both of them found the drinking experience very enjoyable and said that this kind of activity should be done more often.
After a while of pleasantries between the elder brother and younger brother, the wine finally broke up.
After leaving Xu Damao's house, the moon outside was quite big, round, white and fat.
Yan Jiecheng walked through the middle courtyard and saw Jia's sister-in-law washing herself by the pool in a daze.
It was late at night, and almost everyone was asleep, but they were still washing.
With his back to Yan Jiecheng, his figure, his back, and his rising figure made him think of a dog.
Not to mention the young man Yan Jiecheng.
The moonlight was so beautiful, it was a sure blow to Yan Jiecheng.
Yan Jiecheng looked a little confused.
He couldn't help but said: "Huai Ru hasn't slept yet?"
Qin Huairu was startled when she heard the sound.
Almost screamed.
Without saying hello to Yan Jiecheng, he picked up the basin and returned to the house.
Yan Jiecheng smiled and continued on his way home.
Passing by the sink, I saw a wisp of white on the edge of the sink.
Looking closely, I saw a white...
It must be my sister-in-law's.
Yan Jiecheng saw that there was no one around, so he picked it up with one hand.
I felt a little regretful and disgusted when I picked it up.
Seeing that the door to Shazhu's room in the main room was not closed tightly, he quietly walked over and stuffed it in through the crack in the door.
Yan Jiecheng thought:
Silly Zhu will be very happy when he wakes up the next day.
You're welcome.
Who told us to be kind?
…
Yan Jiecheng has been very free recently, and he only has to teach his disciples.
The rolling mill is mainly undergoing upgrading and renovation this year, and the transportation department has nothing to do.
The railway line from the rolling mill to the railway station has also been laid.
Luo Gong from the Road Bureau has already left with his team.
Before leaving, I chatted with Yan Jiecheng for a while and left my contact information.
Luo Gong's home is not too far from Yan Jiecheng's home, in the Road Bureau compound, only six or seven kilometers away.
Yan Jiecheng knew that place. There were several elegant Soviet-style small buildings and rows of tube towers.
That day, Luo Gong and Yan Jiecheng chatted for a while and were trying to lay a long rail line.
Yan Jiecheng said straight away: "Seamless line?"
"Good name, seamless line, yes, seamless line."
Luo Gong clapped his hands and laughed.
"Young people are smart."
"Your ten job red lines have received a good response after being promoted by the Railway Bureau. The leader specifically told me to thank you in person on behalf of the Railway Bureau."
"No, no, Luo Gong, aren't you already giving out rewards? Besides, I didn't do anything."
"Following your idea, we have created a job red line for each type of work."
"You don't know how many people have been injured or disabled during construction in the past few years."
Luo Gong sighed and continued.
"We have a weak foundation and little experience. We have to work hard to catch up with others. Our workers are so good. After years of war, now just for this stability, everyone is working hard and not afraid of sacrifice."
"However, we feel sorry for him. He is the backbone of the family. If he is injured or disabled, he will be in ruins."
