Siheyuan, counterattack from the proficiency panel

Chapter 37: The weird He Yuzhu and Da Bidou ask for investment and follow-up reading
In the past, many people came to him and offered money to learn film projection technology from him, but he refused.

After all, if you teach this thing to others, not only will you starve your master to death, but your descendants will also starve to death.

In the 20s and 40s, the salary of a film projectionist ranged from 10 to 2 yuan, which was considered a high salary at the time. You have to know that in the countryside, an adult laborer only earned 5 work points for a day's work, which was equivalent to to cents in RMB.

When watching movies, people mainly watch open-air movies.

At that time, some villages in the countryside did not have electricity, so every time they showed a movie, they had to bring their own generator and projector. In addition, they had to bring two sets of film every night. The entire set of projection equipment weighed more than 100 kilograms and had to be brought to the countryside together.

Open-air screenings are a hard job. In the summer, the heat is unbearable and there are many mosquitoes; in the winter, the wind is howling and your hands and feet are cold.

Usually two films are shown each time, and the second film is usually finished very late, and the projection equipment still needs to be sorted out.

The farthest village he had been to was more than thirty miles away from the capital, and he often returned home late at night. This was Xu Fugui's normal work routine during his years as a rural film projectionist.

When Xu Damao heard his father say that he agreed to accompany him to drop out of school tomorrow, he ran out excitedly.

The reason why he didn't want to read on was that he was jealous of Sha Zhu, but more importantly, he really couldn't concentrate.

If his father hadn't chased him with a whip every day, he really didn't want to go to school. Even with his father Xu Fugui's threats and inducements, he still skipped school several times and his grades were at the bottom of the class.

If his father had not been Xu Fugui, who often went to the countryside to show movies and could get some good things to give to the teachers in the school, he would have been expelled long ago.

And this time, it was just Xu Damao's performance.

I didn’t expect it to be successful!

(Refer to those naughty kids who don’t study well nowadays)!
"That's great. I finally don't have to go to that crappy school anymore."

Xu Damao ran out of the courtyard in one breath, shouting to the sky, completely unconcerned about the strange looks from others.

Take a look if you want, it won't hurt him.

"Hey, hey, what are you yelling about, Xu Damao? You look so excited, did you eat bee shit?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Damao turned around and saw his enemy Sha Zhu, who was holding He Yushui's hand. He snorted coldly, "Sha Zhu, don't be so proud. My father has agreed to let me drop out of school. Just wait for me to enter the factory. I will definitely do better than you in the future."

Xu Damao raised his nose, looking like he was the boss and asked for a beating.

"You dropped out of school?"

He Yuzhu had a strange expression on his face. The steel mill had given the workers a half-day holiday. After all, it was the first day of the New Year.

In 1912, January st was established as the New Year.

Just what it means, the new year.

Later it was defined as New Year's Day, but the rolling mill is a steel mill and its status is more important.

It was only half a day off, while some other factories had a full day off, and some even had two or three days off.

At noon, He Yuzhu came back from the steel mill and brought lunch boxes for the two siblings to eat.

After eating, He Yushui clamored to go out and play, so He Yuzhu took Yushui out.

Just now, he was back from shopping with his sister Yu Shui. Unexpectedly, he met Xu Damao who was shouting at the front door, so he made a joke, but he didn't expect to be greeted with such explosive news.

Xu Damao dropped out of school?!
"Yes, my father has already agreed to teach me the skills of a film projectionist. After I learn it, I will be the film projectionist in the factory, and I will have a good life, no worse than you, Shazhu."

Seeing Xu Damao's smug look, He Yuzhu was speechless. He didn't mind at all when the other party called him Shazhu. The main reason was that he was in a good mood and wanted to laugh.

He also calls himself Shazhu. This Xu Damao is the real "Shadamao". Xu Damao is almost the same age as him this year.

You are only in high school. If you persist for a few more years, you don't need to go to college. Maybe after you graduate, with a little effort, it won't be difficult to become a cadre.

But this fool actually chose to drop out of school? !

If this isn't a real fool, then what is?
He is here now because he has a family to support, and he also went to college in his previous life. He is not necessarily worse than the so-called college students today. He has the education, but he lacks the certificate.

And this Xu Damao is really like someone who loses the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

Facing the proud Xu Damao, He Yuzhu did not spoil his performance, but instead "encouraged" him hypocritically and sarcastically: "Great, great Damao, you are awesome! From now on, the job of our factory's film projectionist will be handed over to you, I am optimistic about you."

"Humph, that's what people say, Silly Zhu. You can only get a raise by currying favor with that capitalist. I'm learning skills from my father. As long as my skills improve and I pass the skill assessment, I can get a raise. I'll make a living based on my own abilities. So when you see me next time, remember to be polite."

"Hey, I really give you face. I'm still panting when I say you're fat."

He Yuzhu raised his hand and gave Xu Damao a big sinus, which could keep him awake without damaging his brain.

He still has the nerve to talk about himself. This Xu Damao was able to marry Lou Xiaoe only by flattering the Lou family.

"Silly Zhu, do you dare to hit me?"

"Why don't I dare to hit you? You don't think I won't dare to hit you just because you've become a movie projectionist, do you? Not to mention that you haven't become a projectionist yet. Even if you do become one, you should be polite when you see me next time. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your father."

"You... just wait here, idiot."

Xu Damao covered his face and fled.

"Tsk, what a clown..."

He Yuzhu shook his head indifferently, and He Yushui asked sensibly, "Brother, if you beat Xu Damao, will Uncle Xu come to cause trouble?"

He Yuzhu rubbed his sister's head and explained, "No, I didn't hit her hard just now. How could he have the nerve to bother a child like me?"

Speaking of which, He Yuzhu is only sixteen years old this year, still a child, and according to the laws of the new era, one must be eighteen years old to be an adult.

"Oh."

He Yuyu nodded confusedly.

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

On the other side, the Xu family.

Xu Fugui discussed the matter with his wife.

Xu Fugui sighed and said, "My son is not ambitious. As a father, all I can do is to push him to the position of movie projectionist. What happens in the future and whether he can make a name for himself depends on himself."

Damao's mother, Xu Wang, comforted him, "Da Mao is a very smart child. I think he will be able to take care of himself in the future. We don't need to worry too much."

Xu Fugui glanced at his wife and said, "I hope Damao can work hard to improve himself. After learning the skills, he can work hard and get married in the future. If he can live a happy life with his wife and children, I will be relieved."
