Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

"Lin Xiangdong, I heard that you helped the factory managers play a movie. The content was the newly released "Havoc in Heaven", right?"

"How was it? Was it exciting? Can you tell us a little bit?"

“When will the factory be publicly screened?”

"Brother Lin, you have to think more about us!"

...

Looking at the people around him, Lin Xiangdong felt helpless.

Everyone wants to enjoy this movie, but this still has to wait for the factory's arrangements.

Although Lin Xiangdong had a good relationship with some of the workers, he did not dare to broadcast it alone without the permission of the factory.

In the past, even if the factory introduced new film works, they were not given as much attention as this time.

Lin Xiangdong squeezed into the line while talking to the people around him.

Seeing Lin Xiangdong join the team, few people expressed any objection.

By cutting in line, it was soon Lin Xiangdong's turn.

Liu Lan was originally responsible for distributing food to employees, but when she came in front of Lin Xiangdong, Sha Zhu hurriedly replaced Liu Lan.

"Let's have a serving of pork and vermicelli!" Before Lin Xiangdong could say anything, Sha Zhu had already made a suggestion.

As he was talking, Sha Zhu had already taken a spoonful of the soup, and a few small pieces of meat could be clearly seen in it.

After noticing Sha Zhu's unusual attitude, Lin Xiangdong was not quite used to it.

"Shazhu, is there something wrong today?" He pondered in his heart, but still placed the cutlery in front of Shazhu.

After all, Sha Zhu not only had great cooking skills, he was also equally adept at rationing meals, and when he distributed food using spoons of the same size, he could allow someone to get more meat or less meat.

"Another serving of braised shredded red radish and two servings of steamed buns." Lin Xiangdong said.

After filling the spoon again, Sha Zhu then picked out two slightly larger white flour buns.

When Lin Xiangdong was moving with the plate, Sha Zhu threw the spoon back to Liu Lan and moved closer to Lin Dong.

Just as he found an unoccupied seat in the cafeteria and sat down, Sha Zhu who came to meet him made him frown slightly.

"Hey, Shazhu, if you have something to say, just tell me." He said while chewing the food in his mouth.

"The factory has introduced a movie, 'Journey to the West'. Please reserve some tickets for me when it officially opens to the public." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

It has been confirmed that the factory will have a public screening of "Havoc in Heaven" before the New Year, and may also hold multiple events.

When the factory shows movies, movie tickets are usually issued.

Those holding movie tickets can accompany their families into the factory to watch the movie together.

As this film is given great importance by the factory, perhaps not everyone will have the right to watch it when it is released.

As a projectionist, Lin Xiangdong naturally has certain special preferential rights.

"I'll try my best to help!" Lin Xiangdong replied casually.

"By the way, when does the studio plan to officially release 'Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons'?" At this time, Sha Zhu raised a question.

"The factory manager and his team will have to hold a meeting to decide. The time has not been determined yet. It will probably take at least until next month."

Afterwards, he asked more questions about the story of "Havoc in Heaven".

It's hard to see the situation clearly at the moment, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to listen to Lin Xiangdong talk more.

At this time, in an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant, Xu Damao's face was full of anger.

If Xu Damao was still the technical operator of the cinema and Lin Xiangdong was just an apprentice who had just learned to be a fitter, then the task of showing movies to the factory leaders would naturally fall on Xu Damao. In this way, he would not only be able to see the movie "Havoc in Heaven", but would also be sought after and respected by his colleagues in the factory.

"We can't do this. We can't let our relationship remain in this hostile state." Xu Damao was thinking in his mind.

If they continue to confront each other, Lin Xiangdong will always be wary of Xu Damao; if the two sides reconcile and Lin Xiangdong is no longer on guard, there will be more opportunities to harm Lin Xiangdong in the future.

Realizing that he still owed Lin Xiangdong money, Xu Damao decided to return part of the money first.

After the meal, seeing Lin Xiangdong preparing to leave the restaurant, Xu Damao hurriedly caught up with him.

At the same time, he took out two 10-yuan bills from his pocket.

Outside the restaurant, Lin Xiangdong was stopped by Xu Damao.

Lin Xiangdong couldn't help but be surprised to see Xu Damao actually voluntarily repay the 20 yuan in cash.

However, after some thought, Lin Xiangdong seemed to have seen through Xu Damao's purpose.

With a clear understanding of Xu Damao's character and combined with his current performance, it is not difficult to infer his true motives.

---

Lin Xiangdong did not reject Xu Damao's kindness, "Da Mao, we had some disagreements and misunderstandings before. Since you know to repay the debt on your own initiative, those past events are over." Lin Xiangdong said with a smile.

"Xiangdong, you are very generous! I have always been conceited and petty. I hope you can forgive me if I have offended you in the past." Xu Damao responded by lowering his posture.

According to the debt voucher records in the intelligent system, Xu Damao owed Lin Xiangdong far more than 20 yuan. Moreover, Xu Damao has now promised to repay all the loans as soon as possible and give some interest.

After resolving the issues with Xu Damao, Lin Xiangdong returned to the Propaganda Department.

At the moment of breakup, the smile on Xu Damao's face immediately disappeared and was replaced by gloom.

He felt quite unwilling to be humble towards Lin Xiangdong. "One day I will let Lin Xiangdong learn a lesson!" Xu Damao thought with a sneer.

Relieving the tension between the two sides was only to relax Lin Xiangdong's vigilance. Once he lost his guard, there would be a suitable opportunity to completely defeat the other party. And this opportunity did not have to rely entirely on the right time and place, Xu Damao would also actively look for it himself.

Of course, it would never be wrong to let Lin Xiangdong lift his guard.

……

In a blink of an eye, the steel rolling mill has been playing the movie "Havoc in Heaven" for more than half a month.

After several meetings and discussions among many leaders, it was finally decided that "Havoc in Heaven" would be publicly broadcast to everyone in the factory at the end of this month, and then it was planned to go on a tour to rural communes next month.

With only a few days left until the public screening, tickets have already been allocated.

Apart from a few factory leaders, only 175 workers were lucky enough to receive admission tickets.

Yi Zhonghai received a ticket, and so did Liu Haizhong.

As for "Erhanzi" - he didn't get a ticket.

Cleaner Xu Damao had no choice but to forget about it.

Even though several workers like Sha Zhu asked Lin Xiangdong to help get some movie tickets, Lin Xiangdong only got two tickets and did not need them himself, so he gave both tickets to other workers.

This made Sha Zhu a little disappointed, because Lin Xiangdong didn't get one for him this time, and only promised to get it for him next time.

After having lunch at the factory, Lin Xiangdong took the projector to the countryside.

Holding a letter of certification provided by his unit, Lin Xiangdong rode on a broken bicycle towards the Red Star Public Society.

After leaving the city, the main roads are still in acceptable condition, but the side roads are rugged and bumpy, making the bicycle quite shaky when riding.

After making sure that no one around could see it, Lin Xiangdong put the projector into his personal space.

About two hours later, Lin Xiangdong was close to the location of the Red Star Commune.

The commune assigned an uncle to drive a ox cart to pick him up.

"Comrade projectionist, I'm sorry to have troubled you." The uncle driving the ox said with a smile on his face.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Lin Dong responded to Xiangdong.

“I didn’t wait long either.” The uncle driving the ox answered and said with a smile.

When he saw Lin Xiangdong placing the projector on the ox cart, he stepped forward to lend a hand.

Next, the enthusiastic uncle took the initiative to help Lin Xiangdong push the bicycle and let him sit in the ox cart.

Pushing the cart and driving the ox cart at the same time seemed very skillful to him.

On the way back to the commune, the uncle driving the car seemed quite talkative.

When they arrived at the commune, everyone's face was filled with anticipation and joy because they would be able to watch a movie soon.

At the same time, someone came out to greet and welcome Lin Xiangdong.

The food prepared for dinner was very rich: including stir-fried bacon with green peppers, steamed fish, fried eggs, a hot soup with dried mushrooms and wild vegetables, and two steamed buns to enjoy.

After the meal, Lin Xiangdong began to set up the big screen and assemble the projector.

A group of young teenagers couldn't wait to help Lin Xiangdong with the preparations.

Whenever he went to the countryside to show a movie, he was usually well fed and well cared for; he could also take some local specialties home before leaving the village; in addition, he enjoyed a certain sense of accomplishment;

However, his interest in antiques still keeps Lin Xiangdong highly focused.

Antiques do not have much value at present, and collecting them during this period may bring great opportunities for financial freedom to future generations.

At the same time, the ability to store items at any time makes collection more convenient and safe.

Even if it is a fake antique, it will not cause much financial loss, so don't worry too much.

Even if we decide not to sell any of the collection in the future, this will still be an act of protecting our country's cultural heritage.

After the projection equipment was ready, Lin Xiangdong checked the time on his watch.

The villagers who were watching also noticed that he was wearing a watch on his wrist.

In the countryside, having an alarm clock is considered a great thing, and having a wristwatch is a no-brainer.

Not to mention that Lin Xiangdong's watch is a high-end all-steel watch made in Shanghai.

Even in the capital, Beijing, owning a watch is not a common thing.

It was 7:53 in the evening and the movie was scheduled to start at 8 o'clock.

Villagers came here one after another, most of them bringing their tableware and small folding stools.

Some people also brought longer wooden chairs for the whole family to use together.

Lin Xiangdong even observed an auntie holding a bowl and chopsticks and walked directly to the front row to squat and wait for the show.

He did not think that the villagers showed low taste, but instead felt that this behavior was very real and down-to-earth.

Most of the villagers during this period were extremely simple and sincere.

A few minutes later, it was exactly eight o'clock, and Lin Xiangdong started the projection equipment. Then, the screen projected an image - not "Havoc in Heaven", but an action movie that was released last year.
