59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

The next morning, the projection team arrived at the compound on time.

Xu Damao, taking advantage of the power of others, boasted, "Old man, let me tell you, this time our Captain Han spent a lot of effort to convince Section Chief Wang to agree to let your compound show the movie in advance."

"Even our compound has to wait until the end of the month, but you guys are more than ten days ahead of schedule."

The old man smiled and said, "I really have to thank Comrade Xiao Han."

"No."

Xu Damao continued to flatter Captain Han.

"I'm not exaggerating. If it were an ordinary person, there would be no way to change the order. Do you know where we are going tonight?"

"I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you."

Xu Damao looked around.

Chen Feng was calmly carving the wood while Chen Li was sitting on the side eating a persimmon that Wang Cheng had brought.

The old man is pounding Chinese medicine, and some of it is being exposed to the sun.

The old lady had finished sewing the clothes and was now teaching Zhou Qing how to use the sewing machine at the door of the side room, where the light was better.

The guest, Wang Cheng, was drinking a cup of sugar water.

The scene was a bit awkward for a while.

Captain Han shook his head, realizing that Xu Damao also had a very bad reputation in the compound.

Of course, he wouldn't be too harsh.

Mr. Xu has a relationship with the Lou family. Although the Lou family does not interfere in the direct management of the factory, if they put forward one or two suggestions, they will still be adopted by the higher-ups.

"Grandpa, let's play a movie tonight. We don't ask for much."

"One pheasant per person, or a wild duck will do."

"The price is just as Xiao Chen said, three yuan a piece. The reason for this is to reward and thank the projection team. We don't dare to charge the common people a penny, so we choose to buy it with money."

"Of course, buying and selling is illegal." The old man smiled and said, "After the screening tonight, on behalf of the more than 20 households in the compound, I would like to thank you for your hard work."

An old man and a middle-aged man looked at each other and smiled.

"Chen Feng, is my treasured tea ready? Take it out quickly and treat Captain Han to a cup of hot tea."

Chen Feng entered the kitchen, brought out the tea that had been brewed long ago, and gave each of them a cigarette of Zhonghua cigarette, which was obtained by Chen Jianguo from blackmailing Ouyang Jie.

Seeing the tea leaves in the cups and the cigarettes in their hands, the four of them were very satisfied.

If you give us face, we will naturally give you face.

Face is given by everyone together.

"Master, it's settled then. We'll go back first."

"Don't be in a hurry, have a cup of tea first."

After finishing the tea, the old man chatted for a while, and the two parties started their first cooperation.

The projection team often went to the countryside. The workload was quite heavy. Most of the time, they went to the countryside to show movies at night and had to eat and stay overnight in the commune. The advantage was that they could get a lot of good things from the commune.

But now there is a shortage of supplies everywhere, and the commune is no exception. It is impossible for everyone to send them precious food just for the sake of watching a movie.

In the past, we often got meat from the commune and brought it home every day, but now even vegetables are scarce.

It is easy to live in luxury but difficult to live in frugality. In order to get a bite of meat, they have to take the initiative.

"Grandpa, I'm going to work first. Just leave three seats on the side for me in the evening." Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"That won't work. Don't worry. I'll reserve a middle seat in the fourth row for you. Four seats are enough, right?" The old man said with a smile, "Chen Li, go to the room and get three pheasant eggs for your brother Wang. You eat what others bring you every day, and you don't even know how to return the favor."

Chen Li ran into the kitchen obediently to get the eggs.

"Old man, there's really no need. Three positions will do."

"It's just a few positions, no big deal."

Chen Li quickly came out with the eggs.

Wang Cheng wanted to refuse, but the old man forced it into his hand.

"Take it back to nourish your parents and children."

Wang Cheng thanked and left.

Persimmons and eggs are easy for him to get, and he goes to the movies to make his children and wife happy.

The key is to jointly manage and maintain the friendship between the two sides.

At the beginning, it may be a relationship of interest, but as time goes by, there is more cooperation between the two parties, and good things are shared together, so there is a certain degree of affection, and it can be considered a network of contacts.

When good things happen in the future, the Chen family will naturally be given priority.

"Chen Li, go to the backyard and call Er Gouzi, Ye Zi and the others over."

Chen Feng said: "I'll go and notify them."

Chen Li followed him everywhere. When Chen Feng was at home, the little girl was his follower and would hang around him every day.

When he arrived at the middle courtyard, he said to a group of workers' families chatting and children playing in the mud, "My grandfather has agreed with the projection team of the Red Star Steel Mill that we will show a movie in the courtyard tonight. Please remember to notify everyone."

"Oh, tonight, is this true?"

A group of family members talked at once.

"Let's go to the movies, let's go to the movies!"

The children were the happiest and kept shouting.

They regard watching movies as the most fun thing to do.

"Ye Zi, are you going to show a movie?"

There was a child's voice coming from next door.

"Yes, Brother Xiaofeng said that we will watch a movie in the compound tonight."

"Great, I'll come to your compound to watch a movie too."

"No, this is our compound's movie."

A group of children were talking across a wall, "friendly"ly discussing how to watch a movie together in the evening.

"Really? I'll go to the backyard to notify them."

Chen Feng took the little girl to the backyard again and delivered the message.

In fact, he didn't understand. The projection team would be here in the evening. Was it necessary to notify them?

By the evening, he understood.

This kind of small group activity still requires certain command skills and is not an easy task.

The old man sat on the stool in the middle and chatted with Deputy Director Wang of the Street Office.

The future director of the sub-district office is currently the deputy.

However, the old director is old, and having survived the war, he is not far from retirement.

"Put it a little further back. It's too crowded."

Chen Jianjun directed each family to put out the benches, and the three tables in the middle were specially arranged with a plate of peanuts, a plate of pickles and a pot of tea.

This is reserved for the Street Office, the old man and the Propaganda Department.

Each stool has the name of a family on it and must be returned afterwards, so someone is arranged to watch over it to prevent it from being stolen.

In addition, the seats are not random.

Every position is full of human relationships.

Elderly people are given priority, officials are given priority, senior technicians are given priority, intellectuals are given priority, Chen family and friends are given priority...

All the benches have been staffed.

For those from other places, you can only bring your own stools and sit on both sides.

"How about it, did you learn it?" Chen Jianguo asked with a smile.

"It's really troublesome." Chen Feng shook his head.

Chen Jianguo whispered, "This is something you can't learn in school, but it is very important in society in the future. Some rules cannot be seen or touched, but they always exist. We must get used to these rules and comply with them."

“Unless you reach a very high position in the future, you cannot go against the rules.”

Chen Feng quickly said, "Okay, Second Uncle, I understand, stop talking."
