Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Chapter 207 207, people's hearts change people's hearts
  In fact, many things in the Siheyuan were caused by honest people using less than honest methods at first and then benefiting from it.

To put it bluntly, all problems are caused by habit. In addition to being hurt, those who habituate to them also have a deformed social outlook in the compound.

This is how things are in the world of mortals, and no fool is willing to be fooled. Only subconsciously, you feel that what you do is the right thing to do, and this is the reason for all kinds of weird things.

Xu Damao was not used to this. His intrusion and his repeated troubles broke the tacit understanding that had been cultivated in the courtyard for many years. The neighbors looked on with cold eyes at first, but then they thought it was a good idea.

No one is happy to have a few uncles in their house to take care of this and that, and even the sound is a little louder when the couple is having sex at night. The next morning, an uncle comes to the house to talk to them.

This kind of thing will happen in later generations, otherwise where would the tower-shaking device come from? This is to fight violence with violence.

The living space is so large, and humans are social animals, so all kinds of friction are inevitable when we are together.

Lou Xiao'e did not see the scene of the deaf old lady shouting for rain, and Xu Damao was not at home either. Lou Xiao'e came back to pack the children's clothes and various gadgets.

Although she can buy new ones, now Lou Xiao'e can save money after living in a courtyard for so long. It's time for her to spend time and try to manage a family.

This kind of thing is always a process of one's growth.

After Lou Xiao'e packed up a package, she took the package and put it on the bicycle. Don't forget to lock the door before leaving. The deaf old lady was also hiding by the door, looking at Lou Xiao'e inexplicably.

In fact, the deaf old lady didn't know why the neighbor's little daughter-in-law was so wary of her. Otherwise, if Lou Xiao'e can be coaxed well, why should she think about finding a balance between the Yi family and the He family?

Everyone who has a calculation has a step-by-step calculation in his heart. Just like the current deaf old lady didn't want to break up Xu Damao and his wife, it was because Lou Xiao'e didn't pay attention to her at all.

If Lou Xiao'e is as good with her now as in the original drama, but Xu Damao still despises the deaf old lady, then maybe the deaf old lady will think of breaking them up again.

This is the first time that Xu Damao and his two apprentices went to the countryside to show a movie.

To be honest, bringing an apprentice is not as worry-free as Xu Damao coming down alone.

At least when Xu Damao came alone in the past, the projectors from the commune had already taken care of the sound system. Xu Damao only needs to pretend to check it once, then eat and drink, and wait until a few movies are played in the evening.

Naturally, there is a way to do this. Those commune projectionists were really rushing to learn things in the beginning.

But Xu Damao's most precious skills are repairing machines and taking pictures. It’s also unlikely that this will break every time.

After a long time, Xu Damao understood the twists and turns inside.

In addition to the 30 cents subsidy each time the commune projectionists came to cooperate with the broadcast, they also had their own personal demands.

As mentioned before, the salary of a commune projectionist is not high, and all benefits add up to only more than ten yuan. Although in rural areas, this is still a high salary.

But if you compare it with projectionists in the city, it’s definitely still low.

To put it bluntly, the wages of apprentices in MCA are not even comparable.

All hopes will definitely not be placed on Xu Damao, and Xu Damao is not qualified to say who to recruit into the city.

But one time, a commune projectionist accidentally let Xu Damao know something.

Every time we cooperate to show a movie, this is to pursue progress, and for large places like steel rolling mills, several recruitment quotas are given to affiliated communes every year.

This is what they are fighting for.

Supporting farmers at that time was not about posing, taking photos, and shouting slogans, like when farming was busy in the countryside. In places like steel rolling mills, volunteers will be formed, bringing their own dry food and farm tools to actually do farm work.

Like a steel rolling mill, because of product reasons.

Every year before the busy farming season, he would go to the countryside to repair farm tools for the farmer brother.

Xu Damao came here with the car from his own factory this time.

While others were busy during the day, Xu Damao was also pretending to instruct his two apprentices to assemble the curtain.

What Xu Damao is dissatisfied about is that everyone these days regards live things as high-end gadgets. So it is inevitable to be timid.

Like other people who can usually put up something in just an hour, the two apprentices have been busy for a long time, but they still haven't finished it.

This is a little embarrassing. After all, there were also leaders from the factory coming this time, but seeing Ma Hua's timid eyes, Xu Damao suppressed his original desire to get angry.

Xu Damao smiled at Section Chief Wu next to him and said, "We still have to let them get started! Otherwise, they won't be able to learn even if they just talk about theory."

This time the team was led by a technical section officer, and everyone knew why Section Chief Wu came with him.

Section Chief Wu doesn't care about this. He came here just to see how this business road was operated in the past. But now Xu Damao is not willing to do this anymore, and whether the people he arranged can complete this task.

Xu Damao waited for Ma Hua and Wang Shitou to finish assembling it, then stepped forward to check it again, and then led Section Chief Wu and others to the village committee slowly. It is said to be the village committee, but it is actually the village chief’s home. The real village committee is a place where various farm tools are stored. There are so many people there now that it is impossible to discuss things.

For example, if there is something happening in the village, everyone is called to the village chief's house to have a chat and discuss it. This is considered a meeting.

As for the real village committee, there is a broadcast room, which is a big loudspeaker. There is also the matter of going to work every morning to distribute farm tools, assign tasks, record centimeters, etc.

That is to say, the village committee basically only uses it when inspecting the subordinates or superiors. Usually there are people keeping vigil there, but the private business of collecting mountain goods like Xu Damao's is really done at the village chief's house.

Although everyone knows what is going on, there are always things that should be avoided.

It was only this time that Section Chief Wu saw Xu Damao's handling skills.

He greeted Ma Hua and carried a package he had brought over to the village chief's house. A group of children were already gathered in front of the village chief's house.

Xu Damao took out a pack of fruit candies from the package, and then said to MCA Wang Shitou: "Go out and give those kids two candies."

The successor chosen by Section Chief Wu is Wang Shitou, but Xu Damao doesn't like this person very much. He is too lively in his mind, but when he really gets things done, he is not as reliable as the MCA.

The assembly of projection equipment just now was basically done by MCA. Although this is related to Xu Damao's usual small cooking for MCA, Xu Damao did not keep some basic things privately. Basically, the two apprentices were taught the same thing.

It can only be said that Wang Shitou's mind was not focused on this.

When MCA and the others finished distributing candies, there was still a small half bag left, which they took back and handed to Xu Damao. Xu Damao directly stuffed it into the hands of the village chief who was smoking dry cigarettes next to him, and said with a smile: "Give it to the children at home."

"Hey, hey, projectionist Xu, why are you so embarrassed? You're not empty-handed when you come back, so why are we so embarrassed!" The old village chief stood up in a hurry and said politely.

The old village chief naturally knew that Section Chief Wu next to him was a high-ranking official, but he basically ignored him. Instead, he talked to Xu Damao and spoke politely like one of his own family members.

Xu Damao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, just something I brought with me. Nothing good."

He opened the package in front of him again. Inside were small packages of things, each with their own names written on them.

Xu Damao picked up the package in front of him, looked at the words on it and read: "Qu Dafa, three liang of brown sugar. No votes, two cents."

The old village chief quickly called out his grandson and whispered a few words in his ear. The child stood and refused to move. The old village chief slapped his grandson on the head in a funny way and cursed: "Go and call someone first. When you come back, it will all be yours."

But after all, I took out two candies from the small package and stuffed them into my grandson's hands.

When the child saw the candy, his eyes lit up. He took the candy and stuffed one into his mouth without even removing the wrapper. Then he ran outside with a "ouch" sound.

Xu Damao chased after him and shouted: "There is also Qu Da, *** and ***, let's shout together."

"I know, uncle." The child answered vaguely from outside.

When Xu Damao saw Section Chief Wu looking at him suspiciously, he explained: "There are some things that the commune does not have, and there are some things that everyone does not have a vote for. So, every time you go on a mission, you must remember these things, and if you can help, help bring them." . Hello everyone, my good things. Like this..."

Xu Damao pointed at Qu Daba's small bag and said: "This is the hunter in the village. If you want any good things in the future, you can book it with him. If it matters, who should I give it to?"

When Xu Damao said these words, he did not avoid the old village chief. Hearing this, the old village chief also nodded and said: "This is what Projectionist Xu said. It's all about changing people's hearts. We won't do anything to you even if you treat us well. Something ungrateful happened.”

Section Chief Wu couldn't help but feel numb. He originally thought that this kind of thing was just a matter of paying for it himself and then the village would provide the goods. But I didn't expect that the people and sophistication inside were no less than those in the factory.

Section Chief Wu patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "It has to be you Damao!"

Xu Damao chuckled to himself, "Damn it, if I don't show you some real skills, you still think this job can be done by one person."

In fact, helping the villagers carry goods and provide children was arranged by Xu Damao to make up for his lack of familiarity with the countryside after traveling through time to please the villagers.

It was deliberate at first, but then it just became smooth as I kept doing it.

Apart from anything else, since doing that, Xu Damao's desire to collect something has become much smoother than before.

Of course, by doing this, Xu Damao's income will inevitably be affected.

If nothing else, he bought those candies with his own money.

But how to say it? One is that Xu Damao doesn't care about this income.

Furthermore, people's hearts change people's hearts, Xu Damao gives some candies. When I leave, people will also give me some mountain goods. Just like visiting relatives and friends, everything is a gift. I didn't ask others for things like before.

In this regard, Xu Damao does not feel that he has lost anything.

At least, Xu Damao can eat comfortably with what he brings back now.
