Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"In my opinion, those women are not suitable for this job at all! It's so dangerous! Some jobs still have to be done by us men." Old Zhang shook his head and expressed his own opinion.

"Hehehe, Old Zhang, you can only say this in secret here, don't let the director of women's affairs know about it! Otherwise, you'll suffer! Things are different now, and now is a new era that advocates that women can hold up half the sky!"

Someone kindly reminded me.

Someone next to him said with a smile.

"How was the matter handled in the end?" A burly man in the crowd came forward and asked curiously.

"Alas, what else can we do? It was dark that day, and the robbers all had their faces covered. We couldn't even see their faces clearly. It would be extremely difficult to find them!"

The person who answered his question spread his hands helplessly and shook his head.

"As for the women's projection team, they are still showing films as usual. But every time they arrive at a specific town or village, they have to trouble the local militia comrades to come and help protect them."

As Old Zhang spoke, he gestured with his hands to indicate that this was the situation.

"Oh! I was originally wondering whether we should just give the projectionists guns! That way they can at least defend themselves if they encounter danger, right?"

Another man standing aside and watching the fun couldn't help but curl his lips to express his disapproval when he heard this.

"Hey, you know what. I have heard that at first the higher-ups did consider giving those projectionists guns. But after thinking about it carefully, they were worried that if they really ran into robbers, they would take the guns away. That would be even worse! So in the end the proposal was rejected."

Old Zhang, who had just explained what happened, continued to add.

Just then, someone shouted, "Da Mao is here!"

Old Zhang turned around and saw the tall and majestic Xu Damao walking towards him. He smiled and greeted him: "Damo, you are here!"

"Master Zhang, I have been here for a full minute! I have been listening to you talk about this matter."

Xu Damao laughed cheerfully, and at the same time took out a pack of brand new Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, skillfully took out a few cigarettes and handed them to the people around him, and said politely: "Come on, everyone, have a try."

Everyone took the cigarettes with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"The place where Damao went to show the movie is the farthest away from all of us. Some sections of the road are extremely desolate, and it often takes a long time to see one or two people. I really hope he doesn't encounter those hateful robbers on the road."

Someone next to him said with a frown on his face, his face full of worry, as if he was sweating for Xu Damao.

"Hey, what on earth are you thinking? Damao is as strong as a bull. It's good enough that he doesn't rob others. How could any petty thief dare to target him?"

The other person curled his lips in disapproval and retorted with a smile.

"Then I want to ask you, if you were the robber, would you have the guts to rob Damao with a knife?"

Old Zhang glanced at the man and asked back in a bad mood.

"Hehe, I would never dare to do that! If I were a robber and saw Damao coming this way from afar, I would have to immediately pretend to be honest and well-behaved, hehe!"

The man shrank his neck, laughed dryly and replied.

"That's right! Otherwise, why did Brother Zhao give the projection task for the farthest village to Damao? He didn't get the title of excellent worker for nothing, he really deserves it!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the house: "What are you all yelling about outside? Aren't you afraid that others will hear you? Come into the house one by one! Go do what you need to do!"

At this time, several people were sitting together chatting enthusiastically. Suddenly, Brother Zhao's slightly majestic voice came from the office door. He saw that several people outside were smoking cigarettes. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, showing a hint of displeasure on his face. He said to them unhappily: "You guys, can you smoke less?"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other, their eyes seemed to convey some kind of tacit understanding. Then, they stopped chatting, stood up and walked into the office together.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Brother Zhao looking at Old Zhang with a serious face and said, "Old Zhang, you are the most capable and well-informed, right? Some things we just need to know in our hearts, but we must never tell others about them!"

Then, Brother Zhao changed the subject and continued, "Also, when you go to the screening today, you have to ride slowly. Have you forgotten that you broke your equipment last time?"

"After all, the villages you are responsible for running are so close to each other, not even one-tenth of the distance Damao ran!"

Old Zhang, who was sitting nearby, quickly explained with a smile, "Oh, Comrade Zhao, calm down. It was just an accident. The road was muddy, and when I was riding, a child suddenly jumped out from the side. I was startled and subconsciously tilted the handlebars, and ended up falling."

After a pause, Old Zhang added: "But fortunately, although the device has a crack, it does not affect normal use, so it is not a big deal..."

Old Zhang muttered softly.

"Okay, okay, Old Zhang, hurry up and go to the screening! This time the screening will be held in Shangli Village, not far from the city."

"Remember, you have to ride slowly along the way. We still have plenty of time!"

Brother Zhao waved his hands and gave instructions loudly.

Old Zhang smiled and replied, "I know! Don't worry, I promise I will ride slowly all the way there."

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked out of the office with a brisk pace.

At this time, Brother Zhao turned his head and looked at Xu Damao who was standing beside him, and said, "Da Mao, you are going to Baxian Village this time. Come on, let me show you the route in detail."

After saying that, Brother Zhao walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed at it with his fingers, and explained it to Xu Damao seriously.

"Da Mao, the distance from here to Baxian Village is not short, so you'd better set off as soon as possible. Be sure to drive slowly and carefully on the road, and always pay attention to safety!" Brother Zhao warned earnestly.
