Siheyuan, counterattack from the proficiency panel

Chapter 36 Xu Damao dropped out of school to seek investment and study
"Dad, I want to drop out of school now and go to work. I don't want to study anymore. If I continue to study, Sha Zhu might not only get a raise, but what if he gets promoted? Canteen director, or even logistics director? Then I will be stepped on by Sha Zhu forever in this life. What's the point of my studying?"

He was anxious, Xu Damao was anxious!

Xu Damao said this excitedly. In fact, he blamed his father for suggesting that he continue studying. Otherwise, if he had entered the steel factory, he would have been able to give Sha Zhu some advice.

When Xu Fugui heard this, his expression changed again and again. This Sha Zhu's situation also made him doubt whether his persistence was right.

If it is true, why is Sha Zhu, who only graduated from elementary school, so powerful? If it is false, then what is the point of him supporting his son's study all along? Just as his son said just now, even if he graduates from university, he will still be a worker after graduation, even if this worker has a high income and little work.

What's the use? Still can't crush the stupid Zhu.

After all, the cooks would never starve to death in years of famine, and people in the compound often envied them for bringing back boxed lunches.

"Okay, then you drop out of school! Then you can follow me, your father, to learn the technology first. Damao, you can be an apprentice first. Once you have mastered the projection technology, I will give my job as a projectionist to you." Xu Fugui said, no longer opposing Xu Damao's dropping out of school to work.

At that time, work was still a model that could be inherited, with the son taking over from the father, and the younger brother taking over from the elder brother.

"That's great. If you had promised me to drop out of school and work last year, I would have become a projectionist long ago. With me here, how could Sha Zhu get a raise? If there is any increase, it should be me." Xu Damao complained with a big laugh. He believed that Sha Zhu must have given countless gifts and flattered his superiors to get a raise.

He thought that his ability of flattery was much better than Sha Zhu's, and as long as he could get into the factory, he would definitely take off.

"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you! I'll accompany you to school tomorrow to process your withdrawal."

..........................................

At this point, Xu Fugui had no other options.

It has been a while since his son Damao has been wanting to drop out of school. In the past, he could use the excuse of being an official as an excuse, but as time goes by, this excuse has become less and less effective.

Especially that Sha Zhu, who cooked a delicious meal for the Lou family and got a pay raise. Who knows, maybe he can get a promotion someday just by eating a meal.

Xu Damao has been at odds with Sha Zhu since childhood, so it would be strange for him to be willing to see his enemy get promoted and get a raise.

Of course, it’s also because my son has no talent for learning and can’t learn.

In school, my grades are always at the bottom of the class.

It’s just that Xu Fugui forced his son Damao to study, otherwise he would have gone out to fool around long ago.

Now, he finally couldn't hold it back anymore.

My son has grown up and has his own ideas.

Xu Fugui lit a cigarette dejectedly. If it were in the past, he would not be worried at all if his son went against Sha Zhu.

Because the former Sha Zhu acted like a fool when He Daqing was still around. Although his son had many faults, he still had some cleverness.

He would not suffer any loss against Sha Zhu, but since He Daqing ran away, he seemed to be a different person. He had made great progress in dealing with people. He was completely different from the previous Sha Zhu. He was smart and clever, and even Fatty Liu and Yi Juehu suffered losses one after another.

Especially Fatty Liu, who was fooled by Sha Zhu's few words and had to beat his son to prove his innocence. As for Lao Yi, he wanted to control Sha Zhu, but he was rejected several times. This shows that Sha Zhu has definitely been reborn.

So, now that Sha Zhu is facing his own son Damao, he really can't imagine what kind of situation Damao will be in.

Since you can't suppress it, just let it be.

Xu Fugui has decided to teach his projection technique to his son, so that he can learn this technology and have a skill to rely on.

If you learn the skills of a projectionist, at least you won't starve to death, and sometimes you can even make some money by going to the countryside.

After teaching his son, he will resign from the steel mill to make room for his son. As for what he will do then, he can only take it one step at a time.

In the 1950s and 1960s, film projectionist was a very popular profession and was one of the "Eight Major Personnel" at the time.

Not only do they receive a handsome salary, but the people who go to the countryside to show movies also treat guests with fine wine and delicious food, which is enviable.

At that time, there was a lack of entertainment in rural areas, and being able to watch an open-air movie was a great enjoyment.

If they knew where a movie was being shown at night, both adults and children would be as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and would still be full of energy after walking five or six miles. At that time, it was no exaggeration to say that there were huge crowds of people watching movies, especially when movies such as "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", "Mirage", "King of Southern Fist", "Shaolin Heroes", and "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs" were being shown, even the back of the screen was full of people.

In those days, it was not easy to become a film projectionist. There might be only one or two film projectionists for every ten or so production teams.

If you want to become a film projectionist, you must first have a certain level of education and be smart and studious. Only after being favored will you be recommended to learn film projection technology, learn how to load, rewind, repair, and adjust films, etc., complete the film projection training class exam, and obtain a film projection training certificate to be considered a qualified film projectionist.

In people's eyes, film projectionists are high-tech talents with a "iron rice bowl" and are highly respected.

At that time, movies were not available for screening at any time. They were only shown during major festivals, when there were activities in the production team, or when there were happy events.

If a family wanted to show a movie at a wedding, someone prominent in the production team would have to go to the commune and invite the projectionist.

To show a movie, you need a screen, a loud speaker, a movie projector, a generator, a gasoline barrel, audio equipment, etc. All these things are very heavy. You may see a scene like this: a movie projectionist leisurely rides a bicycle in front, and a group of people carry these equipment behind.

The projectionist eats well and may even receive some gifts.

As mentioned earlier, film projectionist is a scarce profession. There may be only 10-1 projectionists in a commune's 2 or so production teams. Therefore, film projectionists are very busy and often go to the production teams below to show movies.

When the projectionist came to show movies, the production team would generally entertain him with good wine and food. Sometimes, to show their enthusiasm, some villagers might give some gifts, such as vermicelli, chickens raised at home, etc.

Don’t underestimate these small gifts; a little bit adds up to a lot, so the living conditions of film projectionists were quite good at that time.

Therefore, becoming a film projectionist was a way out that Xu Fugui prepared for his son Damao.
