Chapter 114 Zhao Dabao's Assignment

Large meeting room.

Jiang Ping'an followed Zhao Dabao in, and sat with the clerks who cleaned up in the morning.

When I came back to my senses, I found that there were more than 20 people in the propaganda department.

If you think about it, the various units of the textile factory are carrying out cultural activities in full swing, and no one can do it.

Just the team leader and deputy team leader of each working group, there are nearly ten people in total.

The content of the meeting is also simple.

First learn the spirit of the document, then summarize the work of the previous week, and then make requirements for the work of this week.

At the end of the meeting, Jiang Ping'an went to Zhao Dabao to get the screening task schedule.

It is really busy in the future. In the past two months, I have to go to the countryside to screen every week.

I have to rush back on Saturday and show it to the workers in the factory.

Some time ago, the projectionist was not in place, so they were hired from outside. Now that the projectionist is in place, it will definitely save some money.

You must know that borrowing people from outside requires money.

It's not cheap, it costs 15 to [-] yuan a time, paid by the unit, and free screenings for workers.

Projectionists in textile factories will also receive money when they go to other joint construction units for screenings, and projectionists are also subsidized.

Just like when Jiang Pingan went to the countryside, he received a travel subsidy of [-] cents per day, plus half a catty of food stamps.

He is still in the internship period, with a monthly salary of 33 yuan.

If you go to the countryside and run frequently, you can easily earn 50 yuan a month, which is not counted as food stamps.

It is said that the treatment of projectionists in this era is really good, respected, high salary, and many benefits.

Bicycles, gloves, overalls, cotton coats, flashlight batteries, raincoats are all provided.

After arriving in the countryside, I ate gongjiu every day, and I would not leave the wine and meat every day, and I would be treated well in various brigades.

Don't talk about it after eating, there will be souvenirs when you leave, such as garlic, shiitake mushrooms, vermicelli, dried chili and so on.

Good years will also send eggs, hens, bacon, and even give money directly.

"Red Star Commune? Leader, isn't the Red Star Commune a joint construction unit of the rolling mill?" Jiang Ping'an asked strangely.

Zhao Dabao laughed and said, "The rolling mill is only a projectionist for the time being. He made a mistake and was fined to clean the toilet, so he pushed the task here."

"Your boy has just started working and is still in the internship period, but you must pay attention, and be honest and don't make mistakes."

One mistake was not the other, Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled and said, "Can't the leader see it? I have an honest face."

"Hehe..." Zhao Dabao glanced at him sideways, and said, "The mission is over, so let's step back. Didn't you see I'm busy?"

After a pause, he said softly, "When you get to the countryside, you should be more spiritual. If there are any good things, come back after you find some good things."

As he spoke, he took out another handful of bills from his pocket, counted them, and handed them to Jiang Ping'an.

"You keep the money and tickets well, and be prepared. Remember, you can't take advantage of the fellow villagers. They are all bought with money."

After Jiang Pingan took the money ticket, he counted it twice and asked in a low voice, "Where can I send the things I bought?"

"Just send it to the factory, don't hesitate to leave it to me." Zhao Dabao smiled.

Jiang Pingan asked suspiciously, "Didn't I steal the buyer's job? Will there be any complaints from the buyer?"

"No, if you really want to find something good, it's too late for them to thank you!" Zhao Dabao said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the money and tickets are all from the purchasing side."

"Buyers and projectionists often go to the countryside, and they are both in the same unit, so they often cooperate."

Jiang Ping'an put the money in his pocket, nodded and said, "Okay, but let's make it clear first, I can't do it for nothing."

"I definitely won't let you do it for nothing, but if you want to get benefits, you have to get the supplies first." Zhao Dabao said.

After talking about some details, Jiang Ping'an left.

Back in his office, Jiang Ping'an took the thermos bottle, first went to get a bottle of boiled water, and came back to make a cup of tea.

If the projectionist doesn't have the task of screening, it's quite relaxed. Drink tea, read the newspaper, and the days will pass.

But going to the countryside to screen is hard work for sure.

If the road is easy to walk and the weather is good, it’s okay, but if you go to a remote mountainous area, the road is difficult to walk and the weather is bad, you will suffer.

Equipment such as screens, films, movie machines, loudspeakers, generators, gasoline tanks, and audio equipment add up to a heavy weight.

Electricity for lighting is not popular these days, so you need to bring your own generator.

The equipment for playing movies, together with a generator, will fill a flatbed truck.

So every time before going to the countryside for a screening, the commune will be notified and asked to send someone to pull the equipment.

After the movie is finished, the next unit will also send someone to pull it.

If there is no car in a remote mountainous area, it is transported by manpower, and a generator weighing more than 200 kilograms needs two people to carry it.

Projectors, megaphones, speakers, etc., still need three strong laborers to carry them.

Of course, most joint construction units in the countryside of the textile factory have electricity and loudspeakers.

After all, it is the capital city, so the conditions are better.

So going to the countryside only takes a mobile projector, screen, film and wires, which is much easier.

As a newcomer, Jiang Ping'an had nothing to do and didn't wander around, so he just stayed in the office drinking tea and reading newspapers.

At ten o'clock, someone knocked on the door outside, Jiang Pingan stood up and opened the door, and was stunned: "Are you Xu Damao?"

Isn't it Xu Damao?Holding the film in both hands, sweating profusely from exhaustion, he nodded and said:
"Dude, you're new here? I haven't seen you before. I'm Xu Damao, a projectionist at the rolling mill!"

"This is the new Third Sister Liu. The Red Star Commune called for release. I sent it to you."

Jiang Pingan took the film into his hand, smiled and said:

"Please run over, I'm going to the management station to get it, come in and sit down!"

Back in the room, Jiang Pingan put the film away, checked it, and found it intact, so he poured water for Xu Damao.

"Brother, it's a bit embarrassing, you drink tea, I drink water..." Xu Damao said while sitting and wiping his sweat.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "I just have a little tea, and it's gone after a cup of tea."

"I've drank the tea in the cup, do you want to drink it?"

Xu Damao shook his head straight away, and quickly said: "Forget it, drinking boiled water is also fine."

Jiang Pingan laughed, sat down opposite him, handed him a cigarette, and asked with a smile:

"I heard that you made a mistake and were fined to clean the toilet?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Have you always spoken so directly? You only sprinkle salt on people's wounds."

As he said that, he took a look at the cigarette, his eyes widened immediately, and he said in amazement: "Good guy! Is this an economic cigarette?"

"What do you think? I just started working, but I can't afford good cigarettes." Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled.

Xu Damao returned the cigarette to him and said, "Okay, let's smoke mine!"

With that said, he took out a pack of peonies from his pocket and handed one to Jiang Ping'an.

The two swallowed, and Jiang Ping'an asked, "How long will you be cleaning the toilet?"

"It's almost autumn harvest, and our unit has a heavy screening task. You rolling mills can't keep pushing us, can you?"

Xu Damao exhaled smoke, shook his head and said, "It's a month, it depends on the performance."

"Actually, I also want to work. Although going to the countryside is a bit harder, there are subsidies. I rely on this for my private money."

"By the way, buddy, I don't know your name yet? Are you married?"
