He shook his head to clear his mind.
Xu Damao saw the table in his room. It was a mess.
There was only a little bit of white wine left, a few peanuts, and some vegetable leaves that had passed the night.
As for the roast chicken, pig's head, mutton, and beef, they were all gone.
Xu Damao was dumbfounded. There were still quite a lot left last night.
There were more than 20 yuan worth of meat and vegetables. How much could he and Li Chengye eat?
"This Li Chengye!"
Xu Damao gritted his teeth. It was fine if Li Chengye didn't call him when he went to work in the morning.
All the remaining meat was packed up and taken away. There was not a single bit left for him.
Xu Damao wanted to settle the score with Li Chengye.
He looked at the time. It was already very late. If he did not go to the factory now, he would definitely be considered absent for no reason.
It was fine normally, but when he had a mission, not only would he be criticized for skipping work, but his salary would also be deducted.
He had already spent so much money on treating Li Chengye to a meal this month. If his salary was deducted, he would not be able to live anymore.
"I'll settle the score with him after work!"
Xu Damao grabbed his coat and washed his face with cold water.
The temperature of the water in the city was extremely low in the middle of winter. Xu Damao shivered when he washed his face.
However, the stimulation of the cold water had sobered him up a little, and he did not look as drunk as he looked.
Gulp, gulp!
At this moment, her stomach growled again.
Last night, he was too focused on drinking and did not eat much. Now that the alcohol had worn off, he felt especially hungry.
However, Xu Damao couldn't care less. He ran out of the courtyard and grabbed a steamed bun from Third Aunt's kitchen when he passed by. He stuffed it into his mouth.
By the time Third Aunt rushed out cursing, Xu Damao had already run away.
"This Xu Damao, he gave birth to a son without any eyes. Yesterday, he ate and drank without thinking of calling me. Now, he even came to my place to steal steamed buns.”
"Don't come back tonight. Otherwise, I'll definitely settle the score with you. Don't even think about missing a cent of my mantou.”
The third eldest uncle, Yan Bugui, was the most calculative family in the courtyard. The third aunt had been married to Yan Bugui for so many years that she had long been infected by him.
Xu Damao had snatched a steamed bun away. How could Third Aunt tolerate such a huge loss?
"Xu Damao, where did you go? Do you still want to do this job? Have you forgotten your responsibilities?”
Sure enough, Xu Damao was caught red-handed by Section Chief Zhao the moment he returned to the Red Star Rolling Mill's publicity department. He was immediately scolded.
"Section Chief, no, I caught a cold last night and was a little uncomfortable. I slept in the morning.”
Xu Damao kept explaining to Director Zhao, but Director Zhao didn't buy it.
"You're not late, you're not late. If the higher-ups give you a mission, you'll be late. The factory director came to our publicity department to take a look today.”
"And my face, and the faces of all our colleagues in the publicity department.”
Xu Damao finally understood why Section Chief Zhao was so angry. It seemed that the higher-ups had also come down.
Section Chief Zhao must have been scolded harshly, which was why he grabbed Xu Damao and scolded him like that.
"Section Chief, I know my mistake. I promise I won't do it again.”
At this time, Xu Damao did not dare to provoke Section Chief Zhao. He kept nodding and bowing in front of Section Chief Zhao.
"There's still a next time, ah, there's still a next time!”
Hearing Xu Damao's words, Section Chief Zhao became even angrier. He poked his nose directly on Xu Damao's forehead and cursed.
"If there's a next time, Xu Damao, you don't have to be a movie projectionist anymore. Go clean the toilets in the factory!”
In this era, the working class had a special status. Even a leader at the factory director level could not fire a worker.
Unless the worker made a serious mistake.
However, although they could not be fired, there was no problem with transferring them. No matter how high or low the workers were, they all contributed to the construction of the motherland.
The projectionists, fitter, blacksmith, chef in the canteen, and scavengers were all equal, but the division of labor was different.
However, Xu Damao did not want such a division of labor.
Section Chief Zhao did not have the right to fire Xu Damao, but transferring him to the cleaning department was definitely not a problem.
Hearing Chief Zhao say that he wanted Xu Damao to clean the toilets, a few girls in the publicity department who were still in the office laughed softly.
These laughter made Xu Damao's face turn red and sweat profusely. How could Xu Damao not feel embarrassed when he was laughed at by so many girls?
Especially the girls in the publicity department, compared to the female workers in other places of the rolling mill, they were all pretty good looking. There was also Yu Haitang, who was known as the flower of the rolling mill.
Xu Damao still had many thoughts about Haitang, but he knew that Yu Haitang did not like her. Now, Yu Haitang must be laughing at him behind his back.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao couldn't raise his head even more.
"I promise there won't be a next time. Section Chief Zhao, in a few days, I'll personally go to your house to reflect on myself!”
Xu Damao did not want to write a self-reflection, so he immediately promised Section Chief Zhao.
Xu Damao and Section Chief Zhao both knew what they had to do by going to Section Chief Zhao's house to reflect on themselves.
Every time Xu Damao went to reflect on himself, he would definitely bring some gifts or local specialties.
"Your behavior shows that you still recognize your mistakes!”
Seeing Xu Damao say that he would personally go to his house to " reflect ", Section Chief Zhao's expression softened a little.
"However, the task has been assigned. You are in charge of the film screening work in the villages of Chenjiagou. You can go next week!”
Section Chief Zhao told Xu Damao his task.
"Ah, Chenjiagou?"
Xu Damao was dumbfounded.
Chenjiagou was the furthest village that Red Star Rolling Mill was responsible for advertising. It was very, very far from Sijiu City, and it was in a ravine.
Moreover, Chenjiagou was really too poor. There was nothing to earn, so none of the projectionists were willing to go.
Xu Damao had never been to Chenjiagou because he went to Section Chief Zhao's house to reflect on himself. However, he had also heard how difficult the conditions there were.
He did not expect that he would not be able to escape this time. It was finally his turn.
"You don't want to go?"
Section Chief Zhao glanced at Xu Damao and asked casually.
"I will definitely complete the tasks given to me by the factory with quality and quantity!”
Only a ghost would want to go to a lousy place like Chenjiagou.
However, Xu Damao knew that if he didn't go to Chenjiagou, he would clean the toilets.
Compared to cleaning toilets, it was more acceptable to go to Chenjiagou.
At the very least, after returning from Chenjiagou, he was still a projectionist. If he went to clean toilets, he might really have to clean toilets for the rest of his life.
"Yes!"
Section Chief Zhao nodded in satisfaction.
It was time for the Red Star Rolling Mill to get off work. Li Chengye had just left the workshop.
He realized that Xu Damao was waiting for him again.
"Brother Xu!"
Li Chengye greeted Xu Damao enthusiastically, attracting the attention of those who knew them.
Since when did Li Chengye and Xu Damao have such a good relationship?
"Brother Xu, wait for me. Are you treating me to dinner again tonight?”
