Chapter 919
Returning to the equipment room to load the projector, Xu Damao rode his bicycle straight to the countryside.
By the time he arrived at Dongfeng Commune, it was already past four in the afternoon.
This temporary task was to reward Dongfeng Commune for winning the advanced collective award.
Showing a movie to let the folks in the commune have some fun.
"Comrade Xu Damao! Welcome! Welcome!"
Don't look at Xu Damao as just a projectionist; he is very popular in the countryside.
Director Zhou of the commune led a group of cadres and folks to welcome him warmly.
Before showing the movie, they also treated Xu Damao to a big meal.
Stewed chicken with mushrooms, Mapo tofu, sour and spicy cabbage... white flour buns!
This food standard is not low!
After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Damao started showing the movie.
Before showing the movie, Xu Damao took out an old film that had been shown twice in the commune.
This old film had not only been seen twice, but the plot was quite boring.
The commune director and the folks didn't want to watch it, so Xu Damao took the opportunity to ask for benefits.
The accountant brought out more than ten catties of sweet potatoes, and only then did Xu Damao change to another film.
It's just that this little bit of sweet potatoes couldn't satisfy Xu Damao's appetite.
During the movie, small problems would arise from time to time.
Without benefits, these small problems wouldn't be solved well.
One after another, Xu Damao's bicycle was hung with many local specialties.
After the movie ended, Xu Damao was arranged to spend the night at the brigade.
In the middle of the night, he went out to the latrine and suddenly saw two people standing outside the brigade.
Driven by curiosity, Xu Damao hid at the base of the wall to eavesdrop.
"Second Brother, the food at home is gone, and we still owe a debt."
"It's almost the end of the year, how are we going to spend the New Year!"
A thin, tall man rubbed his hands in the cold, his words full of misery.
A short, fat man said: "Don't worry, wait until I sell the things, and we'll have both money and food."
The thin, tall man said gloomily: "In this day and age, that thing can't be eaten or drunk, can it be sold?"
The short, fat man said: "I asked my godfather, that thing is made of gold, it will definitely sell in the black market."
"Gold!"
Xu Damao's eyes shone instantly when he heard these two words.
Unable to resist the greed in his heart, he bit his lip and walked out from the base of the wall: "Two brothers, you haven't slept so late!"
The thin, tall man was shocked: "Projectionist Xu!"
The short, fat man subconsciously gripped his rifle: "Projectionist Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Damao walked closer and only then recognized who the two were.
One was a propagandist for the commune.
One was a militia member for the commune.
Xu Damao pointed to the latrine and said: "I'm going to take a big dump, what are you two doing?"
The militia member said: "I'm on duty at the brigade tonight."
The propagandist lied: "I'm bringing some food to Second Brother."
Xu Damao said with a smile: "I just heard a bit, you have things to sell? What kind of things, can you let me see? If the things are suitable, I'll buy them."
Xu Damao, hoping to make a fortune, got straight to the point, which made the two change their faces drastically.
The militia member said: "Projectionist Xu, what are you saying? Why can't I understand?"
Xu Damao: "Comrade Zhou Feng, don't hide it. I'm not joking with you. I'm really interested. As long as the things are good, I have the money."
The propagandist pulled the militia member's arm: "Second Brother, how about..."
Zhou Feng said: "If Projectionist Xu is really interested, then come to my house."
Xu Damao thought for a while: "I won't go to your house. You bring the things here, and I'll wait for you in the room."
Zhou Feng said: "Okay! Old Third, you go home and get the things, I'll stay here and accompany Projectionist Xu."
