The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 18 Meeting Huairu at Night
"Your family's third uncle says every day that you can eat as much as you can and wear as much as you want, and you will be poor if you can't figure it out. You don't really believe it, do you?"

Yan Jiecheng nodded, he really thought that the life at home was all because of the old couple's good calculations.

Hearing what Xu Damao said now, he suddenly realized.

In the later generations, he will be in his thirties, so there is no reason for this.

It's just dark under the lights.

"Hey, the third master actually overlooked one point."

Xu Damao took a bite of the food, and passed the cup to Yan Jiecheng, who quickly filled the wine for him.

Uncle Xu waited on him and had a drink.

Only then did Xu Damao continue to say: "Your father's salary is actually not low. He can earn money and knows how to calculate, so there is room for surplus."

"But the third master, I have forgotten that I can make money, so I only have to calculate."

"It's been a long time, you brothers and sisters have only learned half of the family style, and you can calculate, isn't it useless!"

Yan Jiecheng smiled wryly, and really let Xu Damao talk.

Xu Damao, you are really accurate in judging people!

"However, your current salary, not to mention the younger generation, is also the same for the older generation." Xu Damao gave a thumbs up while talking.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "Hey, you still play with me. Even if I earn a salary comparable to that of your projectionist, I can't get this."

You must know that the projectionist at this time is not ordinary.

Why is Xu Damao so eloquent?
Many films in this era are silent and require projectionists to explain.

Going to the countryside to show movies is not just a cultural and entertainment project for the masses.

The more important purpose is to publicize and explain policies.

Let the bottom know the national policy.So there is this form of entertaining and teaching.

This is an important means to consolidate the victory in the new era and solve the problem of imperial power not going to the countryside.

Yan Xiecheng picked up a piece of chicken, finished speaking with a smile, and put it into his mouth.

"Hey, that's not it. Which village I go to, he has to curry favor with me in that village."

Seeing this opportunity, Yan Jiecheng told Xu Damao.Yan Xie was too weak and needed supplements, so he asked if he could get fine grains and meat.

Xu Damao patted his chest, and said proudly: "Brother, this is slapping me in the face. Xie Di is also my Xu Damao's younger sister, so wrap it on me."

Seeing that Yan Xiecheng didn't believe it, Xu Damao had no choice but to tell the details.

Xu Damao has been a regular since last week.

For the sake of his son, Xu's father even asked someone to transfer his job to a movie theater.

In this way, on the one hand, I don't have to travel to the countryside often.

On the other hand, there is only one projectionist left in the rolling mill, and Xu Damao's position seems irreplaceable.

Now he has gone to the countryside alone to show movies.

There are tasks for each screening, but the village wants to watch one more, what should I do?
Only to bribe the projectionist!

It's just that everyone knows that every time Xu Damao goes, the village will arrange good accommodation.

As well as the hospitality items, they are all dry goods, bacon, chicken and duck.

These are all he learned from Xu's father's screening.

Xu's father told him how to express that there are too few things and how to ask for more.

These are all routines, and there is no master who can teach them the way.If you insist, everyone will be very embarrassed.

The village is indeed short of food now, the villagers are short of food, but the production team is not short of food.

It’s all the bitterness of being poor for several lifetimes. How many people can be unmoved when they suddenly see so much food and supplies?

Therefore, several cadres on the team have done a lot of things to fill their own pockets.

After all, not all villages are like Zuojiazhuang, they belong to the same clan, and they are somewhat particular about how they do things.

Nowadays, it is just the end of the year, and all the production teams are sharpening their knives to sell pigs and sheep. It is really not difficult for Xu Damao to produce meat.

So, this is the way of the world.Wherever it is, it depends on the relationship. It is easy for others to do it, but finding the way is harder than going to heaven.

After two bottles of wine, there is only soup left in three dishes.

The two talked dirty for a while, and they unanimously praised Jia Dongxu's daughter-in-law's singing.

That is, this time made the two of them laugh.

At the same time, he expressed concern about Jia Dongxu.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the wall clock at Xu Damao's house, it was already ten o'clock.

Both of them felt very happy to drink this time, and said that such activities should be held frequently.

There was a burst of pleasantries between the elder brother and the younger brother, and the wine finally broke up.

After leaving Xu Damao's house, the moon outside is quite big and round, white and fat.

Yan Jiecheng walked through the middle courtyard, and vaguely saw Jia's sister-in-law washing by the sink.

This big night, almost everyone is asleep, and they are still washing.

With his back to Yan Jiecheng, that figure, that back, that rising...a dog would want to see it.

Don't say that Yan Xiecheng is such a young man.

The moonlight was so beautiful, it was a death blow to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was a little dazed.

Couldn't help but said, "Huairu hasn't slept either?"

Qin Huairu was startled when she heard the voice.

Almost cried out.

He didn't even say hello to Yan Jiecheng, picked up the basin and went back to the house.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and continued on his way home.

Passing by the sink, I saw a streak of white on the edge of the sink.

Looking at it with a fixed eye, there is a white...

It must have belonged to my sister-in-law.

Yan Jiecheng saw that there was no one around, so he picked it up by accident.

When I picked it up, I felt a little regretful, and a little disgusted.

Seeing that the door of Shazhu's room in the main room was not closed tightly, he walked over quietly and stuffed it in through the crack of the door.

Yan Xie thought to himself:
Silly Zhu will be very happy when he wakes up the next day.

You're welcome.

Who told us to be kind!

……

Yan Jiecheng has been busy recently, so he only has to teach his apprentices.

The rolling mill is mainly doing upgrades this year, and the transportation department has nothing to do.

The railway line from the rolling mill to the railway station has also been laid.

Luo Gong, the road bureau, has left with his team.

Before leaving, he chatted with Yan Jiecheng for a while and left his contact information.

Luo Gong's home is not too far from Yan Xiecheng's home, in the road bureau compound, only six or seven kilometers away.

Yan Jiecheng knew that place, where there were several small Soviet-style buildings and rows of tube buildings.

That day, Luo Gong and Yan Jiecheng chatted for a while, and they were trying to lay the long track line.

Yan Jiecheng said straight away: "Seamless circuit?"

"Good name, seamless line, good is seamless line."

Luo Gong clapped his hands and laughed.

"Young people are smart."

"Your ten post red lines, after being promoted by the Railway Bureau, received a good response. The leader specially explained to me, and asked me to thank you in person on behalf of the Railway Bureau."

"No, no, no, Luo Gong, isn't this all rewards? Besides, I didn't do anything."

"Following your idea, we have made a post red line for each type of work."

"You don't know how many people have been disabled during construction in the past few years."

Luo Gong sighed and continued.

"We have a weak foundation and little experience. We are desperately trying to catch up with others. How good our workers are. After all these years of war, now it is for this stability. The big guys are spared no effort and are not afraid of sacrifice."

"However, we feel sorry for each other. They are the pillars of the family. The one who is injured or disabled will be ruined."
