Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

"you--"

"Okay! Even if it was my fault for lifting your blanket, I apologize! We are even now!"

Qin Jingru gritted her teeth, put her hands on her hips and said toughly. But her flickering eyes betrayed her guilty conscience at the moment.

Xu Damao laughed angrily: "What do you mean by even? I was sleeping on the bed and you pulled up the quilt and saw me naked, and you just apologized and that's even?"

"Besides, have you apologized? Is this how you look to apologize?"

[At least I have to see you naked once to make it even, right? ]

[Hey, no, no, no - let's talk about it in a few years. Now that I have this idea, I'll start with 3 years and there's no upper limit! ]

Qin Jingru was like a little adult, blushing and waving her hands: "Those are just small matters! Not important!"

"I'm asking you! Why did you hit Aunt Zhang yesterday? You beat her until she screamed!"

"It was me who scared you and tied you up yesterday. If you have any anger, come to me!"

"How can you be considered a hero if you bully Aunt Zhang, a widow!"

Xu Damao blew out a puff of smoke in a scoundrelly manner, then spread his hands and said, "I'm just a movie show host. I'm not a hero, am I?"

Are you kidding? Being a hero? Not to mention that the original Xu Damao was a real villain, even the later Xu Damao didn't think he was a good person, let alone a hero? How tiring!

Wouldn't it be better for him to call the police if he has any problems?

"you?"

Qin Jingru was also stunned. It seemed to be true. He was just a projectionist... Wait, he confused me again. Wasn’t he talking about beating Aunt Zhang?

"Don't change the subject! I just want to ask you, why did you hit Aunt Zhang?"

Qin Jingru asked Xu Damao anxiously again.

"Have you told your father about this?"

Xu Damao did not follow her pace at all, but asked about other things.

[From her tone, she probably hasn't told the secretary and the village chief yet, right?]

"I did ask, but my father told me not to tell anyone else and not to ask."

"Then why are you asking me?" Xu Damao was surprised. What a timid girl! Your father has warned you, and you turned around and came to me?

But Xu Damao just didn’t answer her question directly. Alas, I’m just playing.

Qin Jingru was so upset by his rogue behavior that she stomped her feet in frustration and turned to walk towards Widow Zhang's house.

While walking, he was shouting angrily—

"Humph! If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Aunt Zhang!"

"If you really are the one bullying Aunt Zhang, I will beat you to death, you bad guy!"

"Humph!"

Looking at Qin Jingru who was driven away by him, Xu Damao smiled.

Damn, this is a typical case of eating too much and being spoiled too much by her family. When the disaster year comes, this girl will be hungry and honest, and then she will think about going to the city, right?

Go hungry for a few more meals and see if you still insist on being stubborn.

Idle——

----------------

At nine o'clock in the morning, Widow Zhang ran over with a blushing face and pinched Xu Damao.

"Damn it, you didn't even let the little girl go?"

Facing his mistress Xu Damao, he laughed shamelessly: "How dare I? This girl eavesdropped on us last night."

"You came over early in the morning and asked me why I hit you, and you made me scream."

"How can I answer? I'm desperate too."

Widow Zhang was relieved after hearing Xu Damao's explanation. She was not afraid that Xu Damao would have any thoughts about other women. This was originally a dishonest person. It didn't matter if she was a widow, but Qin Jingru was a little girl, not even an adult!

If anything happens, he'll really be taken to the target shooting range!

"That's more like it. I managed to fool him anyway. But why does this kid have such a big opinion about you?"

Xu Damao had no choice but to tell the story of yesterday again, which made Widow Zhang laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"I'm also wondering, has this girl taken poison? Why is she so aggressive in her speech? Is she seeking justice everywhere?"

Xu Damao was also very confused about Qin Jingru's behavior, so he had to ask Widow Zhang.

"Hey, ever since her cousin married and moved to the city, no one has been able to control this girl. Recently, she has gathered a group of young boys to form the Red Tassel Youth Group, and Qin Jingru is the oldest among them, so she has become the leader of the group."

"Although they don't have anything to do normally and are just pretending to patrol, it's better than letting those little guys run around chasing cats and dogs, so the secretary and the village chief ignored them."

"But I heard that the secretary had already disbanded their Red Tassel Youth Group yesterday afternoon, and Jingru is very angry!"

After hearing this, Xu Damao finally understood why Qin Jingru stepped on him when they were going down the mountain yesterday. Was this the reason?

I lost her position as the team leader, how could she not be angry and find fault with me?

Xu Damao gave a bitter smile. What the hell was going on? It was all just an unprovoked disaster!

----------------

At noon, we had lunch at the brigade headquarters as usual. The projectionists received subsidies for going to the countryside, and the township would treat them to delicious food and drinks. The secretary and the village chief would also take this opportunity to have a good meal. All the expenses were charged to the brigade, so no one could complain.

You can’t even take care of eating and drinking, and you’re still thinking about the projectionist coming to show the movie next time?

What do you think?

The three of them were toasting each other at the table, and it was very lively. Xu Damao was good at speaking, and this was not a courtyard or a factory, so there was no need to be servile and flattering, so he was more relaxed. From time to time, he would tell some dirty jokes to make everyone laugh. Once the atmosphere was right, it was almost like burning three incense sticks, and everyone became sworn brothers right there!

Xu Damao also had his own ideas. Not to mention that Widow Zhang was still here and needed the care of the secretary and village chief to prevent her from being bullied by the villagers. Moreover, there were only a few villages under his charge. During the three-year natural disaster period, he had to rely on these villages to exchange supplies, so he naturally had to maintain good relations with them.

In the middle, Widow Zhang came over to add more dishes to the table. Only then did he realize that these were all meals cooked by Widow Zhang. Firstly, she was nearby, and secondly, the villagers wanted to help Widow Zhang and would not let her work in vain.

The secretary and the village chief looked at him and then at Widow Zhang from time to time. Their sly and mysterious smiles made Xu Damao understand that they had known about his relationship with Widow Zhang for a long time, but they just didn't make it clear. They were both sophisticated people, and there was no need to ruin their relationship over such a small matter.

Xu Damao was a bachelor, so he bowed to the village chief and the secretary and said, "Brothers, please stop making fun of me. If you have anything to ask of me, just tell me. If it is something I can do, I will never refuse!"

"Brother Damao is so straightforward!"

The secretary also laughed. Actually, they didn't have any other requests. They just hoped to add another movie before the end of the year, some movies that no one had seen before, so that everyone could have a happy new year.

This year's severe drought has caused a reduction in grain production, and there is no way to remedy the situation at the end of the year. And it's not just their village that is in this situation, so there is no hope that Xu Damao, a projectionist, can do anything.

They just wanted to have a lively New Year. Xu Damao said that this request was not difficult at all. He told them to just apply to the steel mill. As long as he, Xu Damao, saw the application form, he would take the initiative to accept the task.

Next time I go to the countryside, I’ll have food and drink, subsidies, and the ability to take back local specialties, and I’ll be able to stay away from the trivial matters of the courtyard!

There is also Widow Zhang serving her, and she can tease Xiao Jingru when she has nothing to do, and train her as her future daughter-in-law.

How can this be considered a business trip? This is a paid vacation!

He picks up girls and watches movies every day, eats delicious food and has wine with every meal. Not only does the company provide subsidies, but his fellow villagers also send him local specialties.

This is clearly a time to enjoy life, okay?

wrong--

The key is to serve the people! Strengthen the construction of rural spiritual civilization!

This is Xu Damao's honor! It is also his duty! He must not complain about the hardship or tiredness!

Even if there are difficulties, we have to go to the countryside to show movies. Even if there are no difficulties, we have to create difficulties and still have to go to the countryside to show movies!

"Brother Damao! You are so righteous!" After receiving Xu Damao's assurance, the village head and the secretary hurriedly toasted him. Not to mention that only a few units in the city had projectionists, the surrounding villages and towns waiting to be screened had applications lined up until the end of next year, and the farthest ones were as far as Baoding or Zhangjiakou!

In addition, the subsidy is only 8 cents a day. At the end of the year, the temperature is low and the roads are difficult to travel due to wind and snow. To be honest, how many projectionists are willing to go out on business trips?

Not to mention what if you accidentally slip into a ravine or get robbed. Although being a projectionist is a glamorous job, it can also be very dangerous!

So generally speaking, projectionists only go to familiar, nearby and safe villages, or if there are people in your village, they have to come.

Otherwise, the application will be in vain and waiting will be useless.

Just think about it, in such a large steel rolling mill, there is only one projectionist like Xu Damao. People have to apply and wait in line to let him show movies - what are they thinking!

The biggest problem was the cold weather and slippery roads? Xu Damao could surf on the moon, so why would he be afraid of minus ten degrees?

So when Xu Damao agreed, the village chief and the secretary were very excited!

Finally, I have given the villagers an explanation!

This is a projection - magnanimous! Righteous! Able to deal with things!

The mountain products we will prepare later need to be doubled!

Just as they were about to open another bottle of Lotus White to further enhance the relationship among the three brothers, a burst of aggrieved sobbing was heard outside the main room.

"Brother Damao - please forgive my stupid brother~"

Hearing the sound, Xu Damao turned around and looked outside the door.

Why is He Yushui here? !
