The Happy Life of Xu Damao in Siheyuan

"Comrade Xu Damao, on behalf of Red Star Commune, I warmly welcome you!"

The secretary of the commune was smoking a dry cigarette, and the wrinkles on his face were smiling. He took the lead in applauding, and the villagers who had already filled the open space with their matzas also applauded enthusiastically.

In this era when entertainment facilities are scarce, the popularity of projectionists can be said to be comparable to the celebrity cards of later generations.

"Comrade Xu Damao, we have worked hard all the way. As usual, we go to dinner first. We specially stewed an old hen for you and then watch a movie after we finish!" the secretary said with a smile.

Xu Damao waved his hand and said: "What should we do? All the men, women, and children in this village are waiting here. How can I go to eat first and leave everyone here? Let's eat after the movie!"

The secretary was a little embarrassed: "This... the main reason is that the notice was late, some homes far away have not yet arrived, and the neighboring village is still on the way..."

Xu Damao smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. At worst, I will show two movies! Show one first so that everyone will not have to wait, and then show another one after dinner!"

"Oh, this feeling is so good!"

The secretary was so happy, it was like getting another movie!

"Of course! This is also a thank you to our Red Star Commune for taking care of me. This is a gratitude feedback. To be honest, every year we go to the countryside to show movies, our commune is the most generous and the most generous gifts. No, this is the first stop at the end of the year.

Come to our Red Star Commune right away!" Xu Damao smiled and said, "But I have a small request."

The secretary waved his hands repeatedly: "Comrade Xu, just say it, as long as I can do it!"

"That's it, can we arrange a place to eat at Qin Jingru's house?" Xu Damao pointed at Qin Jingru behind him and explained: "Qin Jingru's cousin Qin Huairu is a neighbor of ours in the same hospital. We have a good relationship. I hope the secretary will take care of her.

one time."

Qin Jingru was quietly serving as the background when a big pie suddenly fell from the sky.

This Jie Feng banquet is very particular. Chicken, duck and fish are essential, as well as soft and glutinous white flour steamed buns!

According to the rules, whoever holds the banquet will get the leftovers. After a banquet, Qin Jingru’s family’s meals will be full of oil and water for the next week!

How could we not surprise Qin Jingru?

Her eyes were shining brightly and her face was flushed. Brother Xu must also like me, otherwise how could he take care of me like this.

"It's a trivial matter. Xu Damao is a good comrade!"

The secretary agreed with a smile. Not only was Xu Damao one of the best in acting, but more importantly, he was a good person. Look at his speaking skills!

"Listen up, folks! We will show a total of two movies today! Let's start now!"

"good……"

"Comrade projectionist, hard work! Two movies, today is not in vain!"

"Hey, the people in the commune next door just put on a show, and we made a lot of money!"

"Secretary, don't treat me badly. Give me something more before you leave!"

The simple villagers were overjoyed and applauded enthusiastically. The half-grown children danced excitedly, even their hands turned red, and sat obediently on the pony.

Xu Damao skillfully arranged the projector, arranged the paper delivery and loudspeaker, and connected the commune's electrical plugs. A set of smooth movements seemed to have become instinctive in the body.

Finally, the projection bubble was assembled in front of the projector, and the flipped film was quickly put out to produce a front-facing image. Not to mention, the projection technology of the predecessor is really nothing to say. In his hands, it is guaranteed that there will be no snowflakes or image distortion.

question.

Otherwise, how could Red Star Commune appoint Xu Damao?

As the skillful screening began, it became dark, and the movie projected on the screen began. The children who were chattering just now obediently shut their mouths, and everyone concentrated on watching the movie.

The film this time is the domestic black-and-white film "Li Shuangshuang". It tells the story of Li Shuangshuang, a straightforward and fierce female captain who struggles against selfishness in rural areas. Her husband Xiwang is timid and afraid of causing trouble. This dramatic conflict of characters creates

Lots of jokes.

This light comedy is widely praised by farmers for its humorous style and easy-to-understand plot.

Xu Damao looked at the villagers who were watching the film attentively. There were girls with braided braids, little kids with runny noses who forgot to wipe them, and old men smoking cigarettes. They gathered under the stars, watching the black and white picture and laughing.

, nervous, sad...

The flash of light and the crowd at the entrance of the commune are destined to be memories that will never be erased by three generations.

Even in Xu Damao's previous life, his hometown had a screening team that traveled to major villages. On summer evenings, they flashed cattail fans, shared watermelons, and watched movies. This unforgettable memory is a lifetime treasure.

Xu Damao was multitasking, checking the operation of the tape while observing people's expressions.

Just as the movie came to a scene where Xiwang came home depressed from the construction site and was angry when he saw the note left by Li Shuangshuang. Most of the villagers were confused when they saw this scene, and some of them scratched their heads.

Many viewers didn't know who wrote the note, and many of them couldn't read at all.

Xu Damao started the narration at the right time: "Xiwang came back from doing work. The words on the door were written by his wife, telling him where the key is. You're at the fourth aunt's house. You go home and light the stove."

In order for the farmers to understand, Xu Damao not only explained in the narration, but also replaced it with dialects. Working is called "doing work", and children are called "Yo'er".

With this explanation, everyone suddenly understood. Some of them laughed out loud when they figured out the cause and effect, and were completely immersed in the movie.

Later, Li Shuangshuang became the captain, and Sun You began to sow discord between Xiwang and his wife.

Xu Damao said: "After listening to Sun You's instigation, Xiwang decided to give his wife a blow and pretended to run away from home in an attempt to soften Li Shuangshuang."

"Comrade projectionist, what does this attempt to soften mean?"

"Yeah, I don't understand."

Several villagers started chattering and discussing.

"It's just to make the wife listen to her husband."

After all, Xu Damao was a graduate student in his previous life. He did a little vocabulary search and immediately gave an explanation.

"So that's it!"

Only then did the audience understand that the villagers who were just joining in the fun were now savoring the plot with gusto. At least half of the people who were originally showing the movie were here to join in the fun.

Now, after Xu Damao's tireless explanations, during which he also made a "review of the past" in order to take care of the villagers who came later, he briefly and comprehensively interspersed the plot with popular dialects, and gradually he understood everything.

Until the end of the screening, all the villagers were still not satisfied. They just lamented that time flew by so fast and everyone was beaming with joy.

"The projectionist is really good. This is the first time I can understand a movie!"

"Hehe! This Xiwang is jumping up and down, but he still can't escape Li Shuangshuang's Wuzhi Mountain!"

"Other commune projectionists don't have this ability! In the past, when I watched movies, I could only watch them for something special."

The villagers spoke to each other and praised the film without hesitation. The film screening was a great success.

The commune secretary smiled broadly and looked at Xu Damao with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Xu! Are you hungry after two hours? Come on, let's eat and chat!"

"Please!"

When Xu Damao and the secretary and other cadres left, not a single villager left. They were still immersed in the wonderful movie. You and I were talking about the plot, and there were young people who memorized the lines of the movie in a decent manner.

At Qin Jingru's house, Xu Damao was hungry for a long time. Looking at the sumptuous feast, he opened his stomach and ate to his fullest. In this simple era, Xu Damao randomly plucked a few compliments from his stomach and coaxed him into a coax.

All the cadres were in high spirits.

Frankly speaking, Xu Damao is a good comrade. He will come here often in the future and the guests and hosts will have a great time.
