"Alright, thank you."
Xu Damao carefully took the projector, film, and curtain from the donkey cart and carried them on his back.
In addition, there were also speakers and other items that the members who had been waiting for a long time came forward to help take down.
The Red Star Commune had their own diesel generators, so the projectionists didn't need to bring them with them every time they came.
A generator weighed more than 200 pounds. It was a big problem to transport it back and forth. It required two people to carry it.
This was also the reason why the projectionists preferred to go to the Rich Commune. Not only did it save time, but they also paid more.
The projectionists were also human beings, unlike the donkeys in the production team who did not need to rest. Besides, it was quite tiring to carry those equipment all day long.
Xu Damao didn't walk far when he saw many people surrounding him.
The militia captain took the initiative to explain." Comrade Projection Officer, everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep last night when they heard that you were coming. So, they came here when they knew that you were coming.”
"Everyone is so enthusiastic."
Xu Damao looked at the chaotic crowd of nearly a thousand people and felt a little nervous.
However, when he remembered his identity as a projectionist, he immediately accepted the gazes of the villagers.
Just look around.
Mr. Lu Xun once said that as long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
At this moment, he had to calm down and imagine himself as a stone.
His expression was calm, and his thoughts had long drifted away.
Seeing that Xu Damao's expression did not change, the militia captain was a little impressed." He was indeed a cultured person. He was so calm no matter what situation he encountered.
This composure and calmness are even more impressive than our captain.
"Comrade, let's go eat first, as usual," the militia captain greeted warmly.”
According to the usual rules, they would treat the projectionist to a good meal before showing the movie to everyone.
The movie would only start at nine or ten o'clock.
Hearing this, Xu Damao came back to his senses and said seriously,""How can that be! I can't let everyone wait for me. I think it's better to show a movie first before eating.”
The militia captain wanted to persuade him again, but when the surrounding villagers heard that the movie was about to be shown, their eyes began to shine.
Some of the smarter ones had already run back to call the villagers.
The remaining villagers stared at the vice-captain. As long as he did not continue speaking, they were ready to run home immediately.
What the hell!
You said it's almost mealtime?
We're going to watch a movie soon, what's the point of eating!
Half of the originally large crowd disappeared in the next second, and all of them ran home to get the bench.
Within a few minutes, the rest of them ran away.
Needless to say, they all went home to grab a stool and prepare to fight for a seat.
Under such circumstances, the militia captain did not dare to continue persuading him.
What a joke. What if the projectionist agreed to his request?
When the projectionist went to eat comfortably, he would definitely be beaten up by the angry villagers.
"By the way, please fix the pole and those things. We can finish it quickly so that we can have dinner earlier.”
Xu Damao was infected by the enthusiasm of the villagers and decided to show them one more movie, which meant two more.
Although it was just an additional match, the difference was huge.
When the movie was being shown, the projectionist not only had to change the film in time, but also had to pay attention to the villagers 'performance at all times.
Once they had something they didn't understand, they had to explain it to them in a timely manner.
During the screening, they had to explain the movie to them.
The secretary of the People's Commune came out of the house at this time. When he heard Xu Damao's words, he immediately arranged for people to set up the screen, then the amplifier and speakers were placed one by one.
While Xu Damao was adjusting the machine, the captain of the militia came over and stuffed two cooked eggs into his hands.""Comrade, fill your stomach first."
"Hey, thank you."
Xu Damao put away the egg. This was a token of his appreciation. It would be wrong not to eat it.
The market price of eggs was rising day by day. The black market cost at least one yuan more than one catty. One could only buy one for ten cents.
Good heavens, this was only 20 cents.
Of course, the market would not be so expensive, but it was really impossible to buy it.
Occasionally, there would be some, but those few eggs would be snatched up immediately.
Now, the rich and strong powder was 25 cents per catty, and the less popular 85 cents per catty was 16 cents per catty.
If this wasn't intuitive enough, the pork was now 85 cents per catty. Two eggs were equivalent to two taels of pork.
It couldn't be helped. Eggs were so expensive now.
However, it was only limited to the years 61 and 62. After a few years, the price of eggs would soon drop to 40 or 50 cents per catty.
It had changed from a luxury item to a mid-to-high-end product.
Before the villagers arrived, Xu Damao quickly peeled the eggs and ate them.
Otherwise, when everyone came later and saw it, it would affect his image as a projectionist.
By the time they finished eating, the villagers had already arrived one after another.
They sat down in groups of three to five, and the secretary came forward to maintain order. After a while, they finally arranged for more than 1,600 people.
Seeing that it was not dark yet, the secretary of the company came forward to hold a short meeting for everyone.
He briefly summarized the recent work, praised the excellent production team, and encouraged everyone to work harder.
As for those members who were usually sly and cunning, the secretary held back his criticism.
After all, the projectionist was still here. If he criticized her, it would be a disgrace to the entire production team.
Besides, it was rare for them to watch a movie, so he didn't want to ruin everyone's good mood.
After the autumn harvest, they still had to pick the grain and hand in the public grain in a few days.
There were still a lot of things to do later. They were counting on this movie to relax everyone.
By the time the secretary finished speaking, the sky was almost dark.
The movie officially began.
