At this moment, Li Ming, the purchasing agent who had been colluding with Xu Damao, walked in.
"Hey, Da Mao, it's almost Chinese New Year, are you going to the countryside again?"
Xu Damao rolled his eyes at him, "What rural area? This time you're just dropping them off in our yard?"
"Showing movies in your Red Star Courtyard?"
Li Ming was overjoyed. His wife had been talking about wanting to see a movie a few days ago. Now, he could go to the Hongxing Courtyard next door to watch a movie and save a few cents.
"Hey, Da Mao, given our relationship, could I bring my wife and kids to visit your compound?"
"That's too polite of you. Just come when the time comes. Being so polite with me is just embarrassing me."
"Hey, Da Mao, you're such a good brother. Don't worry, I'll save some eggs for you next time I go shopping." Li Ming was overjoyed, then leaned closer, "Let me see what kind of movies you picked. Don't pick anything nobody likes to watch."
Xu Damao laughed in anger: "I know more about this than you do. What's wrong with showing everyone those well-known things?"
Li Ming leaned forward and glanced at the film box. "The Female Barber? This film is suitable for female comrades, but The Red Guards of Honghu Lake is quite good."
“You don’t understand, do you? It’s not that just because the main character is female, it’s only suitable for women to watch. It’s complicated, and I can’t explain it to you in a short time.” Xu Damao said with some pride, “How could I be bad at doing things? I’ve already thought of the screening order. First, we’ll show ‘The Red Guards of Honghu Lake’ to warm up, and then we’ll show ‘The Female Barber’ as the grand finale.”
"Two movies should be enough. It can't be too late, or it will disturb everyone's rest."
After saying that, Xu Damao buried himself in adjusting the projector again.
He has a lot to do. After the machine is debugged, he needs to play it once and then figure out the points that need to be explained.
For example, he helps explain the background of movies, and he also helps explain parts of movies that people don't understand.
Meanwhile, Wang Dabao was also busy.
I spent the whole morning dealing with issues left over from yesterday and attending various meetings.
After all, he was the one who proposed the rectification yesterday, and he also presided over the arrest operation.
Wang Dabao was busy until the afternoon, meeting with various leaders in the factory. Although Section Chief Hu was there to "assist" him, he was still exhausted.
"Hey Lao Hu, why don't you work for another two years and let me grow under your wing for a while?"
Wang Dabao joked with Section Chief Hu with a grin.
"Don't be ridiculous. If you, a hundred-man killer, were to grow up under my wing, it would scare people to death."
Section Chief Hu smiled and tossed two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes to Wang Dabao. "It's alright. Don't be fooled by those people's loud voices. Just stick to your principles. But you still have to give them the respect they deserve. You just need to figure out the right balance."
Wang Dabao nodded, took the cigarette, and put it in his pocket. There was nothing he could do; he had to accept it since it was offered to him.
You can't exactly tell people that you have so much of this stuff at home that you'll never run out of it before you die.
Tomorrow is the weekend. Wang Dabao borrowed a motorcycle with a sidecar from Section Chief Hu. He plans to go back to Wangjialou Village to visit and pick up Third Uncle's youngest son, Wang Tiangao, so that he can work under Feng Biao. This is also a way of arranging for his trusted confidant to enter the security department.
......
In the courtyard, Liu Guangtian was sweeping up dead leaves with his younger brother Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang.
Seeing that Yan Jieyao was reluctant to come and was dawdling over there, Liu Guangtian sighed and said, "Jiefang, you can't keep up this pace. At this rate, we won't finish before dark."
Yan Jiefang snorted lightly: "Liu Guangtian, what's the rush? This compound isn't something that can be cleaned up in a day."
Liu Guangtian has secured the position of "leader," but leading the team is no easy task!
Only his younger brother Liu Guangfu listened to him. Yan Jiecheng simply abandoned his post and ran away. Yan Jiefang was alright; he didn't run away, but he still had that same annoying habit of rubbing his pen on his itch.
Just then, Qin Huairu came out carrying a basin of dirty water, intending to pour it out at the sink.
Seeing their expressions, she laughed and said, "One of you is a workaholic, and the other is a slowpoke."
Liu Guangtian scratched his head and chuckled twice. He hadn't held back at all when he beat Jia Dongxu before, so he felt a little embarrassed when Qin Huairu took the initiative to talk to them.
After staring intently at Qin Huairu for a while, Yan Jiefang grumbled with dissatisfaction, "Sister Qin, don't just stand there and talk like you don't know what's going on. You try this job yourself. It's really hard on your back. I've been cleaning from the front yard to here, and my back is so sore I can't even stand up straight."
"Oh dear, you'll have to take it slow with Liberation. You're not married yet, and you won't be able to find a wife if your back doesn't work."
Qin Huairu walked towards the pool with a smile.
After staring intently at Qin Huairu's back for a couple of seconds, Yan Jiefang leaned close to Liu Guangtian and winked, signaling him to quickly look at Qin Huairu's big buttocks.
"It's freezing cold, and Qin Huairu isn't wearing much either. Jia Dongxu is nothing, it's a waste for him to marry a wife like that. It's like the Jia family's ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."
Yan Jiefang chuckled and winked at Liu Guangtian.
Liu Guangtian glanced at her hurriedly and greedily: "Otherwise, why do you think Jia Dongxu is so thin? If I had a wife like that, I could have a whole litter of babies."
"Brother, what are you guys talking about?"
Liu Guangfu leaned over and asked, while also looking in Qin Huairu's direction.
Liu Guangtian quickly pulled his younger brother aside, and almost drooled when he saw Qin Huairu bending over and sticking out her buttocks by the pool.
It has to be said that a woman of Qin Huairu's age is quite attractive to young men like Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang who are just beginning to experience romantic feelings.
Of course, this also includes older young people like Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.
Just then, Xu Damao returned, humming a little tune and pushing his bicycle.
He was extremely busy today.
After running around contacting various parties to arrange film projection equipment, and finally finalizing the equipment, the next step was to select film stock. After that, I went to the neighborhood office to explain the film projection and the precautions to be taken, which was considered a formality.
Looking at the much cleaner front yard, Xu Damao nodded in satisfaction. "Good, Liu Guangtian is quite efficient."
Upon entering the courtyard, one immediately saw Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and Yan Jiefang staring intently at Qin Huairu by the pool.
Goodness, he's not much different from Sha Zhu, except that his eyes could grow little hands and he'd be tearing Qin Huairu's clothes off.
Xu Damao's face immediately darkened, and he coughed heavily.
Liu Guangtian and his two companions were startled and quickly looked away, picking up their brooms and getting to work.
Xu Damao cursed inwardly at these little brats for being even more lecherous than Sha Zhu, then deliberately said loudly, "Can't you three do your jobs properly? This yard is only so-so, there are still corners that haven't been cleaned."
Feeling guilty, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang glared at Xu Damao and had no choice but to slink away and start cleaning again.
