Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Siheyuan.

The neighbors in the compound were very excited.

They were discussing enthusiastically the notice just issued by the steel rolling mill today.

"A movie in the theater costs tens of thousands!"

"More than that, there are too many people watching and you still can't get a ticket!"

"Why don't you say that Mr. Lou is very generous and takes us to watch movies for free!"

"I heard that even the stools have been prepared."

"Those are seats reserved only for leaders. You'd better just lead a little Mazar!"

There were not many entertainment activities in that era, so being able to watch a movie was like a dream.

Those who work in the steel rolling mill are very excited, but those who do not work in the steel rolling mill are more disappointed.

Inviting factory workers to other factories has basically nothing to do with them.

They are just greedy.

"You guys should discuss it in a lower voice, it's weird, but we can't see it!"

Neighbors with pinkeye have already begun to complain.

"What you said, you can't see that you are looking for Xu Damao!"

"What are you looking for Xu Damao for?"

"Xu Damao is the only projectionist in the steel rolling mill now. We are his neighbors, wouldn't it be useful to ask him to arrange a seat?"

"real or fake?"

The neighbors outside the factory were instantly excited.

At this time, Xu Damao was heading back into the courtyard carrying the projector.

Ever since he owned this projector, he has walked with a gait that he doesn't recognize.

He felt like an old man.

When walking on the street, everyone is looking at him.

Xu Damao also has a dream.

When he makes money, he buys himself a bicycle, puts the projector on his back, and rides the bicycle through the streets of the capital.

He is simply the most handsome boy on the street.

"Da Mao, you are finally back. We have a favor to ask of you."

Neighbors swarmed over.

The word "begging" made Xu Damao quite comfortable.

His back was straight, and although he was not that tall, his eyes were already flying to the top of his head.

"What's the matter? Just tell me, as long as I can do it."

"Isn't your factory going to show movies to everyone? Can employees who are not your factory go?"

"That's definitely not possible."

Xu Damao shook his head and pretended to be embarrassed.

But I already have some ideas in mind.

"what……"

Neighbors were disappointed.

"I just said it's not okay to go to Xu Damao, right? He's not the leader!"

"Who said you can't find me?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he was instantly unhappy.

"We want to go see it, but you said you won't let outsiders see it, so why don't we just come to you?"

"It's definitely not allowed according to the rules. But..."

Xu Damao chuckled and said: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Our factory invites factory workers to watch it for free. But in order to promote culture and ideas, we still let workers from outside the factory come in, but they have to spend money. "

"how much?"

The neighbors were a little uneasy.

If the price is the same as the movie theater, they might as well go to the movie theater to watch it.

"Logically speaking, it should be the same price as a movie theater. But..."

"How old are you!"

"Hurry up and say it!"

The neighbors were extremely anxious.

"But you are my neighbors, Xu Damao, so I, Xu Damao, am the only projectionist in the whole factory. Don't I have any privileges yet? Anyone who has a relationship with me will be entitled to five thousand per person. Children can get half price. Smaller ones, If you hold it in your arms, you can get free admission. After all, it doesn’t occupy a seat!”

"real or fake?"

"Five thousand yuan, this is simply a bargain price!"

"Don't lie to us!"

"This is a great deal, half the price of listening to Yanbu's expensive radio!"

"No, what can you listen to on the radio? You can also watch people while watching a movie!"

Yan Bugui passed by and snorted coldly.

Him: Don’t listen, it’s all bad comments.

"The quantity is limited, first come first served! If you want to see it, you have to register here. There are only twenty places! I can't bring more!"

Xu Damao shouted directly, striking while the iron is hot.

"I me me!"

"Count me in!"

"Me! Let me go first!"

Neighbors responded enthusiastically, fearing that they would be left behind.

He held out his hand with the money and asked Xu Damao to help him stuff it.

"You guys come one at a time. Don't worry."

The corners of Xu Damao's mouth almost burst into tears when he collected the money. Finally, he got a wad of money and felt that he was one step closer to the bicycle.

"Okay, that's almost it. You come with me tomorrow. I'll take you in. But don't make it public. I'm afraid my colleagues won't be happy if they find out. They don't have this privilege."

"Don't worry, Damao."

"You've already taken us to the movies, can we still betray you?"

"We'll keep it secret!"

"I won't tell you if you kill me!"

"Okay. Remember to bring a matza with you. If we squeeze in, there won't be any seats."

Xu Damao reminded them one last time, turned around and hurried to the front yard.

He pushed open the door of He Yuzhu's house and said excitedly: "Brother Zhuzhu, Uncle Daqing, Yuyu. I'll treat you to a movie!"

He Yuzhu was made to laugh by the reckless Xu Damao.

"You invite us to watch a movie? Is the sun coming out in the west?"

"Is it a movie about a rolling mill?"

He Daqing asked.

"That's right. Tomorrow is my first time showing a movie. I'll send you all in and find the best seats. Sit with the leader!"

"Ha ha!"

He Yuzhu laughed so loudly that Xu Damao almost laughed.

"What's going on? Why are you laughing, Brother Zhuzhu."

"If I want to watch a movie, why don't you invite me! Director Lou has already made arrangements for us. You guys are still thinking about me. That's good."

He Yuzhu touched Xu Damao's little head.

Xu Damao was also a little embarrassed.

Yes.

What is the relationship between He Yuzhu and Lou Dong?

Does he still use Xu Damao to arrange it?

"I forgot about this. But I have a surprise for you!"

As he spoke, Xu Damao took out a wad of money from his pocket, took out most of it and handed it to He Yuzhu, saying: "Brother Zhuzhu, this money is for you. Then you go to the movies and buy some delicious food."

"Where did you get so much money, Damao."

He Daqing was stunned when he saw Qian.

It's not yet time for wages to be paid in the factory. Why does a child like Xu Damao have so much money?

"Given by the neighbors!"

Xu Damao told everything about selling movie tickets.

He Yuzhu was even happier.

This Xu Damao is quite business savvy. Back then he sold his cannons for [-] a pop, and now he sells movie tickets for [-] a pop.

It was the first time a movie was shown in the steel rolling mill, and Director Lou didn't even say no outsiders were allowed in.

It’s just that it’s not written clearly, and many people don’t know it.

The factory door will be wide open tomorrow, whoever wants to see who can get in.

Fortunately for Xu Damao, he can make money directly from this.

Moreover, he didn't keep all the money he earned in his own pocket, but even gave He Yuzhu a large portion of it.

He Yuzhu was not short of this little money, so he got it anyway.

"Forget it, Damao. You can keep what you earn. What are you doing for me?"

He Yuzhu pushed the money and refused.
