Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

the days that followed,

Except for He Yuzhu who took his father-in-law and a group of people to a restaurant for a welcome dinner, because Li Xiuzhi had to take care of two children, it was only Li Jianye who took the grandparents and Li Yue, the little guide, to visit the city of Sijiu, and they all had a very happy time.

That evening, after dinner, several people sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. Wu Cuiling led her son to the middle yard and said, "Brother Zhuzi, there is a movie showing at the steel mill today. Do you want to go and watch it?"

"I didn't notice there was a movie today. I was wondering why I didn't see Damao today," He Yuzhu asked.

"The steel mill has a lot of work to do recently, so Director Li wants to boost morale, so he asked Damao to arrange for the Propaganda Department to show movies to the workers," Wu Cuiling replied.

Ever since Xu Damao separated from Lou Xiao'e, he no longer had the label of being a relative of a capitalist. With the help of He Yuzhu, he was gradually promoted to become a capable person in the Propaganda Department, but he was still responsible for the job of a projectionist and was only assigned two apprentices.

In addition to showing movies on weekdays, he is specifically responsible for a series of activities such as internal publicity of the factory's specific policies and goals. Since having a child, he has become much more stable. In addition, Xu Damao is born with a clever tongue, so he is highly valued by his leaders.

"Sister Cuiling, what time does it start? Let's go watch it later," Li Xiuzhi asked.

Anyway, people nowadays don’t have much entertainment activities, so they just chatted in the courtyard and decided to take their family to see a movie.

"Seven o'clock. After all, we can't release it until dark," Wu Cuiling thought about the time Xu Damao told him.

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Li Xiuzhi brought Xu Damao's son over and kissed him. Several people looked at the two children in the cradle together, and the scene suddenly became full of joy.

This cradle with wheels was specially made by He Yuzhu at the request of a carpenter. It can hold two children at the same time and make the adults feel more relaxed. Li Xiuzhi appreciated He Yuzhu's actions and rewarded him generously.

Around half past six, it was starting to get dark.

He Yuzhu brought his family to the place where the movie was shown, and found that the place was full of people and there was no place to stand.

"Brother-in-law, I told you to come earlier, but you kept saying wait. Now there are no seats left," said sister-in-law Li Yue, who was a little unhappy after searching for a seat for a long time.

"Don't be angry, look, your brother Damao is here," He Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed when he looked at the people present. It was because he came late that everyone had no seats left.

"Zhuzi, why are all your family here today? Why is Yueyue pouting? Is there no seat? Brother Damao will find one for you," Xu Damao walked over and greeted He Yuzhui.

"I heard from your wife that there was going to be a movie showing, so I brought my father-in-law and mother-in-law to watch it, but we arrived too late and there was not even a seat available," said He Yuzhu to Xu Damao as they looked at the huge crowd at the scene.

It was not easy to show movies in those days. In the city, factories would organize movie showings regularly, but in the countryside, movies might only be shown once a year or two, so people were very enthusiastic about showing movies.

"This is not a difficult matter. There are a few seats in the front that I have reserved for the leaders. You and your family can just go and sit there. Cuiling and my son are also there." Xu Damao laughed when he heard this. Now he could finally show his abilities, and walked to the front with He Yuzhu's family.

"Uncle, the leader's position has been taken. What should we do when the leader comes?" Li Jianye suddenly asked He Yuzhu in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Director Li won't argue with me even if he comes, and senior leaders generally don't come. Reserving a position is just a way of showing respect for the leader," He Yuzhu explained to him the ins and outs.

When He Yuzhu and his family sat down, the people who had no seats in the back immediately complained. You know, Xu Damao had reserved seats for the leaders. They were all the best seats, right in the second row in front of the movie screen, so they could see everything clearly.

But before they could say anything, they found that Xu Damao, the propaganda leader of the steel rolling mill, attached great importance to the visitor and kept his mouth shut.

You have to know that the projectionist in those days was one of the eight major members and had a very high social status. For him to give us a warm reception was almost a sign of success even if he was not a leader.

After all the trouble, it was completely dark. Xu Damao asked his two apprentices to align the film reels, turned on the lights on the camera and started playing.

Looking at the figure appearing on the screen, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and both adults and children turned their eyes to the big screen.

The movie shown today is "Heroic Sons and Daughters", which was successfully filmed two years ago. Although it has been shown in other places, everyone still watched it attentively.

As the figures on the screen flashed and the sound of gunfire continued, watching those tragic scenes and exciting words, not only did everyone's eyes fill with tears of excitement, but even He Yuzhu felt his blood boiling.

Until the end of the movie, everyone was still immersed in the plot for a long time, as if they had been spiritually baptized after watching the movie. He Yuzhu felt that this might be the power of the times.

Seeing that it was almost time and both children had fallen asleep in such a noisy environment, He Yuzhu signaled to his wife and they pushed the two children slowly back home in the stroller.

They didn't need to worry about the remaining father-in-law and mother-in-law, Li Jianye, and sister-in-law Li Yue who refused to come back. They could stay and continue watching the movie and come back when they had enough.

Early the next morning, He Yuzhu woke up from his dream hearing the noisy sounds in the courtyard.

"Little sister, your mother and I are planning to go back," the voice of father-in-law was heard from the living room.

"Dad, please stay here for a while longer. Otherwise, when you go back to your hometown, we don't know when we will meet again." Li Xiuzhi was unhappy when she heard that her father was leaving.

He Yuzhu also came out of the house and said, "That's right, father-in-law, am I not treating you well enough?"

He Yuzhu was puzzled, thinking that his father-in-law would have to stay for at least a month or two before talking about going home. But now he was planning to go back home in less than a month. Did he do something to displease his father-in-law?

"No, my wife and I eat well and live well here. You are indeed a filial son-in-law, but we two old people can't always stay here and cause you trouble," Old Man Li waved his hands when he heard He Yuzhu's words.

"What kind of trouble is it? Aren't we all family? You and Xiuzhi haven't seen each other for several years. She must be very sad now that she's gone," He Yuzhu said to his father-in-law as he looked at his daughter-in-law with tears in her eyes.

The mother-in-law, who had been silent for a long time, began to wipe her tears and took her daughter to the side to chat about family matters.

"Mom, Zhuzi and I are planning to arrange a marriage for Jianye. You must see your future granddaughter-in-law before you go back," Li Xiuzhi said, talking about what his parents were concerned about.
