Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

1961, midsummer.

On the bumpy donkey cart, Li Weijun pinched his thigh hard. Hiss! It really hurt.

After feeling the pain, he was sure that he had really traveled through time. As he was looking around in confusion, a man with a pointed chin and a dark blue coat asked, "Li Weijun, what's wrong with you? Why are you pinching yourself for no reason?"

"I, I'm scratching."

The memories in his mind gradually came back to him, and Li Weijun felt dizzy and his throat was burning with pain.

The next second, a message appeared above the man's head.

(Xu Damao: projectionist)

(Personality: insidious and cunning, fierce in appearance but timid)

(Health status: awake; severe kidney deficiency, infertility.)

(Replicable items or skills: elementary projection technology, sweet talk, flattery, bicycle tickets, food stamps, some money,)

What is this? Copy?

Li Weijun was puzzled as he looked at the virtual panel that appeared in his mind. After trying to click on it to grab it, he found a red warning word on the subtitles.

The character is not in a coma or deep sleep!

(Copy failed)

In a coma or deep sleep?

Li Weijun was surprised for a moment, then looked at Xu Damao meaningfully, which made Xu Damao confused and felt a chill down his spine.

A moment later, when passing a slope, taking advantage of the large bumps in the road, Li Weijun picked up the Hanyang-made bicycle on the frame, gritted his teeth and hit Xu Damao on the back of the head.

The old man driving the donkey cart in front suddenly heard a muffled groan from the frame. He turned his head and saw a projectionist from the city lying on the straw as if he was asleep.

"Comrade projectionist, is this comrade projectionist all right?"

Li Weijun shook his head: "It's okay, Damao said he felt a little dizzy so he should rest for a while. He will probably wake up when we get there."

"It's great to be young. You can sleep whenever you want, unlike us who sleep little and are born to be busy."

After the old man sighed, he continued on his way.

Li Weijun, who managed to get away with it, immediately performed the clone operation on the unconscious Xu Damao.

(Ding! Copying is successful, and the primary projection technology is obtained!)

(Whether to add points to upgrade, the skill can be upgraded to advanced projection technology at most)

"Add some upgrades!"

Li Weijun was in high spirits, feeling that he had mastered all the techniques of using the projector, matching and repairing the loudspeakers, and even the editing and patching of films and the narration of the films.

Looking at Xu Damao who was sleeping like a baby, Li Weijun continued copying.

(Ding! The copy was successful, and you got a permanent bicycle ticket. You can add points to upgrade to three bicycle tickets!)

(Ding! The copy was successful. You have obtained the Flattery Skill. You can add points to upgrade it to the Flattery Master Skill.)

(Ding! Copy failed. The character has reached the daily copy limit. Please wait for 24 hours to cool down.)

"Only three copies a day?"

Li Weijun frowned and chose to add points to upgrade.

The next second, three bicycle tickets appeared in his hand.

After putting the bicycle ticket in his inner pocket, Li Weijun reluctantly let go of Xu Damao who was sleeping soundly.

As the donkey cart bumped along, I began to sort out my memories, which gradually became clearer.

This body is also named Li Weijun, a worker at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He has a high school education and is currently an apprentice projectionist in the Propaganda Department.

He is learning projection techniques from Xu Damao's father Xu Fugui, who is about to retire this year.

This time, Li Weijun and Xu Damao went to three villages in Hongxing Commune to show movies, which was both a mission and a test.

This is about who can be qualified for the job of projectionist. Whoever between Xu Damao and Li Weijun performs outstandingly in showing movies in the commune will be the next projectionist at the steel mill after Xu Fugui retires.

The projectionist position is one job for each person.

In order to allow his son Xu Damao to take over the position of projectionist, Xu Fugui has been keeping it a secret.

Not only was Li Weijun rarely allowed to use the projector, but Xu Damao was even given special treatment and was taken along when his leader showed movies privately.

This resulted in a huge difference in their projection techniques even though the apprentices had the same length of service. If nothing unexpected happened, Xu Damao would definitely win this time.

Unfortunately, Li Weijun traveled through time and space. Looking at Xu Damao blinking in his sleep, a smile appeared on Li Weijun's lips.

You have to know that projectionists are one of the eight major workers these days and are very popular. Although their monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan, their benefits and subsidies are good, and they can also earn extra income every time they go to the countryside to show movies in nearby communes.

The communities with better financial conditions would send a lot of local specialties, including wild pepper, local eggs, wild mushrooms and the like.

In this hungry age, food is more valuable than money, and some things cannot be bought with money.

The total income of a formal projectionist is much higher than that of an ordinary cadre.

The only drawback may be that there are risks along the way. Nowadays, highway robberies and injuries are common, and projectionists and truck drivers basically have to carry guns with them.

This time when they went to the Red Star Commune to show movies, Xu Damao and Li Weijun brought with them an old Hanyang-made instrument.

Although the rifling has been smoothed out, its lethality has not been reduced at all. If you encounter the most vicious people, you can kill them on the spot.

Li Weijun was determined to get the position of projectionist. Now that he had copied Xu Damao's projection technology, he naturally had no reason to give up.

In 61, as Li Weijun, who had watched a few episodes of Siheyuan when he was bored, he clearly knew that Lou Xiao'e had not yet married Xu Damao at that time.

Qin Huairu was still a charming young woman who had just given birth to Huaihua, not the widow Qin who was missed by many. The handsome but short-lived Jia Dongxu was still alive.

Li Weijun's family lived in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, in the east wing of the front yard, a house of about 50 square meters. His neighbor was the miserly third uncle Yan Bugui, nicknamed Yan Laoxi, who would taste the saltiness of the manure cart whenever it passed by.

As for Li Weijun, according to the convention of time travel, he was naturally a lonely man. When he was nine years old, his father Li Jigao died in the battle against bandits.

Not long after, his mother Zhao Yamei passed away due to excessive grief. Only a distant cousin, Li Huaide, worked as the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. All these years, he had been supported by his uncle and barely grew up.

And the purpose is to plan for Li Weijun to take care of him in his old age.

The reason why Li Weijun was able to enter the Propaganda Department as an apprentice projectionist was that he brought a bottle of Lianhua Bai and asked Li Huaide to do the secret work.

It's a pity that this is the extent of the help.

Li Huaide, who was dominated by his wife, looked down upon the bottle of Lotus White at all. After finishing the job, he simply told Li Weijun to have less contact with her in the future.

If Li Weijun fails to become a formal projectionist in this projectionist review, he can only work as an ordinary worker in the workshop.

People like Li Weijun who have no locksmith skills can only work as foundry workers in the foundry workshop.

Li Weijun felt dizzy when thinking about the trivialities of the courtyard. For the time being, he could only take things one step at a time and make sure that he did the projection work impeccably so that he could become a formal projectionist.

Li Weijun touched the bulky projection equipment beside him with some curiosity, thinking that it would be nice to have a portable space.

Projectors, films, loudspeakers and the like can be stored in the space, which not only allows you to travel light but also saves you from a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It is not only safe, reliable and assured, but also saves time and effort.

As I was thinking this, I heard a swish sound the next second, and the loudspeaker I was touching disappeared out of thin air.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Weijun silently said something in his mind, and the loudspeaker that had just disappeared reappeared at its previous position.

With the invasion of thoughts, Li Weijun discovered that the space he carried with him was roughly 60 meters square, and was a space that could accommodate living things.

Just as he was about to continue thinking about it, the donkey cart stopped right at the entrance of the village: "Comrade projectionist, we have arrived at the Red Star Commune."
