Qin Huairu took the money, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are indeed good at doing things. If you don't owe so much, you won't be self-defeating."
Xu Damao glanced at Qin Huairu and said nothing.
After Qin Huairu left, he was so angry that he bit the air at the door several times.
Go to work the next day.
Silly Zhu called Ma Hua to him and said with a wicked smile: "Did you know that your master is on a business trip?"
Ma Hua nodded and said, "I know, I even helped him get his luggage to the car."
"Then your wife and her children were bullied last night, did you know?"
"What?! Who bullied me?" Ma Hua's eyes widened.
"Keep your voice down, why are you speaking so loudly?"
Silly Zhu leisurely picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Oh... you, you, please don't just drink tea!"
"What did you call me?"
"He, Master He!"
"No, MCA, you kid must call me master!"
"Then don't mess around. I have a master. So, if I call you senior brother, don't you want to be my master's registered disciple?"
Silly Zhu said disdainfully: "I don't want to be a cook now. I teach you cooking every day. You have to call me master, otherwise I won't tell you what's going on."
Ma Hua scratched his head and said, "Then if you don't tell me, I'll take leave now and go to the street office to ask."
After saying that, he turned around and left. His wife was being bullied at home with her children, and he couldn't sit still.
Silly Zhu quickly stopped him, "Come back! What are you doing in such a hurry? I'll tell you, why don't you do it?"
Silly Zhu told Xu Damao that he instigated a fight between Bang Gang and Lin Dong and Lin Liang, which led to a fight between the Lin family and Jia Zhang's Bang Gang, and finally detailed the whole hospital meeting.
What he said was that he added fuel to the fire and made MCA so angry that he went to the Publicity Department to find Xu Damao.
Silly Zhu said leisurely: "Where are you going? With your small body, you may not be able to beat Xu Damao. Besides, are you going to fight in the factory? Do you believe I will put you in solitary confinement?"
MCA is just 17 this year, and his body is as thin as that of a child. He is not as tall as Xu Damao.
MCA defended: "I didn't say I had to fight him. I just asked him. If I can't fight him, I still have to go."
Silly Zhu said: "I will give you an idea, so that you can vent your anger for Lin Zhen, but there are conditions."
"What's the idea?"
"Ask me what my conditions are first!"
"Okay, what are the conditions?"
"Oh, that's right. Don't hide the dishes that Lin Zhen teaches you. He taught you from the front, and you tell me from the back."
Ma Hua shook his head and said, "I have to ask Master if he agrees with this."
Shazhu said angrily: "Hey! You are a piece of wood! Let's discuss it. I don't want you to pass it to me behind Lin Zhen's back again!"
Ma Hua said: "Then I have to ask Master."
Silly Zhu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's do this. Just tell me what Lin Zhen taught you last time."
Ma Hua smiled awkwardly and said: "Master didn't teach me cooking last time. He taught me knife skills and flower-making skills. He said he wanted me to practice basic skills first."
Silly Zhu scratched his head, "I asked you why you are always competing with others to cut vegetables during this period. Forget it, you owe me a favor this time, remember?"
Ma Hua nodded, "Don't worry, I will ask Master for instructions as soon as he comes back. If he says it's okay, I'll discuss it with you."
Silly Zhu smiled and said: "That's right, let me tell you, to deal with Xu Damao, you have to catch him. This afternoon he is going to the Xixiang Rural Brigade to show a movie. That kid always brings a bunch of things when he comes back from the countryside.
Do you dare to follow me to investigate and come back and write an anonymous letter?"
Ma Hua disapproved and said: "Why are you writing anonymously? I will report him with my real name, this afternoon, right? I will leave early in the afternoon and go squat in Xixiang!"
"Okay, yes! I support you!"
In the afternoon, MCA borrowed a bicycle and rode to Xixiang.
When we arrived at the place, it was almost dark.
It is now the early summer of 1962.
In this era, when movies are shown, a group of five or six people from the village watch them together.
After a day's work, thousands of people gathered to watch a movie, which can be said to be very lively.
The most sought after ones are undoubtedly the projectionists.
Xu Damao was driven back and forth by car, and the village leaders treated him to dinner in the evening, and he was given souvenirs when he left.
The village leaders did not dare to offend the projectionists from the city.
Otherwise, if the movie is shown for a few times, or if the movie is skipped by a few minutes, it will not show up when it is due, and it will have to go to another team to show it.
If you don't want these situations to happen, you have to support them throughout the process.
After all, a team can only show movies a few times a year, so there is no need to offend the projectionist.
The matter of giving gifts to flatter people has become subtle, and the higher-ups are also aware of this phenomenon.
As long as the projectionist doesn't go overboard or insist on anything, it can be regarded as a reward for the hard work of going to the countryside.
After all, projectionist is a technical job, a carrot and a pit, and is not suitable for large-scale training.
After Xu Damao became a projectionist, he made a fortune every time he went to the countryside.
There are many people and lively at night.
People from five or six villages gathered together, more than a thousand people. Not all the villagers knew everyone around them.
Therefore, it was easy for MCA to get involved.
…………
Early the next morning.
Ma Hua came to the factory director's office with a letter of report.
"Director, I am reporting with my real name that Xu Damao asked for gifts from the villagers when he went to the countryside to play movies!"
Director Yang was approving documents and immediately stopped what he was doing when he heard this.
Asked: "You seem to be a comrade in the cafeteria, right? What's your name?"
When Director Yang invited guests to dinner, Ma Hua worked with Sha Zhu in the kitchen and sometimes served plates to the table, so Director Yang had an impression.
"Director, my name is Ma Hua."
"Well, is it true that you reported Xu Damao?"
"It's true. I went to Xixiang after get off work yesterday. I saw it with my own eyes and heard it from my own mouth."
"Did you go to Xixiang specifically to investigate this matter?"
Ma Hua scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Well, I want to report him, but I have to have evidence."
Director Yang smiled and said: "Okay, if the situation is true, it can be regarded as catching the pests for the masses. Let me take a look at the report letter."
Ma Hua quickly handed it over with both hands.
He wrote three full pages, as if he were keeping a running account, and he wrote it in great detail.
After Xu Damao finished showing the movie last night, the village leader invited him to dinner.
Before leaving, I gave him ten pounds of sweet potatoes and five pounds of shelled peanuts.
In the end, Xu Damao didn't want it.
He directly said that the family was short of meat and asked the village leader to prepare a few kilograms of meat to take away, saying that he would show an extra movie the next time he came.
The village leaders had no choice but to kill pigs and sheep, and they could not kill the donkeys of the production team.
In the end, a rooster was collected, and after some persuasion, Xu Damao was given another dollar, which Xu Damao reluctantly accepted.
Many people have seen these events.
Although Ma Hua did not come close to take a look, after Xu Damao left, he claimed that he was sent by the city to investigate and asked questions thoroughly.
Director Yang nodded slowly after reading it.
It is not unusual for a projectionist to go to the countryside to receive gifts.
The villagers would send some souvenirs or treat them to a nice meal, which was regarded as a reward and a thank you.
But if you insist on it, threaten to show the movie next time, and make things difficult for the folks, you are violating the rules and making mistakes.
Director Yang said: "Comrade MCA, thank you for catching a pest. You can go back to work first. Xu Damao will be punished soon!"
