Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao asked, "Is it that simple? All it takes is dry ice or silver iodide?"

Chen Changan nodded and said, "Yes, let the relevant departments do something and then give it a try.

However, artificial rainfall always has many limitations, and not every artificial rainfall can be successful, after all, the amount of water contained in each cloud is different."

Uncle Xiao said that he understood that this so-called artificial rainfall, whether it was reliable or not, needed to be tried to know.

After asking about the situation, Uncle Xiao watched Xiao Liu beside him take note and then hurriedly got on the car and left.

Chen Changan also lost interest in fishing at this time, and went home with a few small fish the size of a palm.

On the way home, Chen Changan began to reflect on himself. After all, he didn't even think of such a big thing as artificial rainfall at the beginning.

If it had been brought up earlier, we would not have to worry about the drought now, but at least we could have saved some food losses.

Chen Changan was still thinking about whether there were other ways to minimize the drought.

Before I knew it, I was almost at the courtyard, and I met Xu Damao who was also returning to the courtyard.

As the only projectionist at the steel mill, Xu Damao was very busy and often had to go to the countryside to show movies to various communes and villages.

In this era, there are very few entertainment programs in the city, let alone in the countryside.

At least there are more people in the city, and there are newspapers, new things, and lots of gossip to talk about.

In the countryside, there are so many people in each village, and in some villages people are still gossiping about things that happened a few years ago.

So whenever a projectionist from the city came to show a movie, people from the surrounding villages would come to watch the movie.

Movies of this era were silent, so projectionists not only had to adjust the equipment, but also had to dub the film on the spot.

Therefore, projectionists in this era also needed to be good at speaking. Some wealthy villages would give projectionists something to encourage them to show more films, or people in the neighboring village would also want projectionists to show films in their village.

In this way, the projectionist can earn extra money. Therefore, if he is good at speaking and does a good job, his income is not low. It is natural for the projectionist to become one of the eight members.

Chen Changan didn't like Xu Damao and the others very much because even if the other people in the courtyard were bad, they were bad for a reason.

Only Xu Damao was truly bad. People like him could never be friends. So Chen Changan just pretended not to see Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao saw Chen Changan, he took a few quick steps and came to Chen Changan's side with a smile on his face.

The two people usually don't have much interaction, and their relationship cannot be said to be good. At most, they are in the same camp.

Xu Damao acted as if he was very familiar with Chen Changan. He put his arm on Chen Changan's shoulder and said, "Brother Changan, your motorcycle factory is really powerful now!"

Chen Changan looked at the self-familiar Xu Damao, frowned, and quietly took away Xu Damao's arm and said, "What's so great about a newly built factory?"

Xu Damao didn't care that his arm was taken away by Chen Changan, and said with an unchanged expression, "I heard that many leaders came to your factory to get motorcycles, and they all had to look at your face.

If I don’t please you, I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait to get the motorcycle.”

Chen Changan immediately felt that there was something wrong here. Whether he had done so or not, it was not something an ordinary person could know.

So he asked seriously, "Where did you hear this from?"

Xu Damao said nonchalantly, "Well, I just came back from showing a movie in the countryside, and I heard this rumor spreading in our factory.

It is said that he used to be a purchasing agent in the factory, but now he is the director of a motorcycle factory, and he is very powerful.

The motorcycle allocated by the city and district leaders encountered difficulties when it came to Chen Changan.

If you don’t give some gifts or some benefits, it’s probably not that easy to get a motorcycle.”

I don't know which villain spread his rumors in the steel mill.

Chen Changan felt that it was only the people in the yard who spread the rumors, otherwise they would not be spreading rumors in the steel mill.

Instead, he spread rumors in the motorcycle factory. It's not that he didn't want to, but he didn't have the ability.

This little trick is actually useless except for disgusting people.

Most of the workers agreed and cursed on the surface, but in fact they were jealous and wanted to replace the boss.

And what connection could there be between Chen Changan and the workers at the steel mill?

But such a thing cannot be ignored. It just so happened that the steel mill had a supply of two motorcycles this year, and Liu Binghui said that the mill's director, Li Huaide, would come over in a few days.

He specifically mentioned that he and Chen Changan were old friends. Liu Binghui even went to Chen Changan to ask about it.

It seems that next time he sees Li Huaide, Chen Changan will have to talk about this matter in detail.

Looking at Chen Changan who seemed to be thinking about something, Xu Damao asked, "Brother, to be honest, since I took over my father's job, I have been working diligently in the steel mill for many years.

I don't want to say how much credit I have, but I often go to the countryside to show movies, and I run around with such heavy equipment. Is this also considered hard work?

But what was the result? A few days ago, I had a chat with the head of our propaganda department. At first, we were talking like brothers, but when I said I wanted to be a deputy head, his attitude immediately changed.

I feel wronged. When I ask you to work, I ask you to be diligent.

I just want to be a deputy section chief now, I won’t recognize you if you turn against me.”

Chen Changan listened to Xu Damao's complaints patiently and felt amused.

Why do people in Siheyuan want to be leaders? However, few people in Siheyuan know about the entire administrative system.

This leads to people like Xu Damao or Second Uncle Liu Haizhong who just want to be leaders every day but don't understand what they did wrong.

However, Xu Damao's situation was different from the others. After thinking for a while, Chen Changan asked, "It's easy to be a deputy section chief. Xu Damao, what is your administrative level now?"

When Xu Damao heard the word "administrative level", he was confused. He looked at Chen Changan and asked, "Administrative level? What administrative level?"

Chen Changan also pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, you don't even have an administrative level? And you want to be a deputy section chief?"

Chen Changan shook his head and continued, "You don't even have an administrative level, how can you expect others to assign you a deputy section chief position? You can't blame others for this."

It is said that although Xu Damao is a bad person, he knows how to behave. Seeing the supply and marketing cooperative next to him, Xu Damao grabbed Chen Changan and walked inside.

When he came out again, Chen Changan had two packs of cigarettes and a bunch of snacks and candies in his hand.

Xu Damao said generously, "These are snacks for my sisters."

So he politely asked Chen Changan about the relationship between his administrative level and his position as deputy section chief.

Chen Changan had told the Yan family about this before. Besides, it was nothing. If Xu Damao was willing to hand these things over to their section chief, their section chief would probably tell Xu Damao about it.
