Chapter 2871 A Day of Fear for Silly Pillar

"Ouch!" Sha Zhu's shrill voice rang out at the departure gate.

"Master...Master!" Ma Hua was carrying a trash can and happened to pass by, narrowly avoiding being bumped into by the idiot.

Are you blind?

Sha Zhu is now criticizing everyone and everything; he can't stand anyone.

Ma Hua is an honest and upright person, and he doesn't mind being scolded. He feels that it is only natural for a master to scold his apprentice.

"Excuse me, sir."

"Fuck off!"

"Master, you're here quite early!" The fat man, who was peeling potatoes, came over to flatter him, holding a teacup in his hands, his smile plastered on his face. "Your dedication is truly renowned throughout the entire factory!"

If it were in the past, Sha Zhu would have been wagging his tail, then accepted the tea and went on and on about how he was praising himself.

But today, it's clear that the fat man's flattery backfired.

"Get out! Get out!" The old man's face was full of impatience. "Have you finished your work? Stop spouting nonsense!"

"You're punished today to peel all the potatoes!"

"If I don't finish peeling them, I won't get lunch!"

"Pfft~" Everyone else in the cafeteria couldn't help but laugh, but because Sha Zhu usually acted like a tyrant in the cafeteria, many people didn't dare to mess with him and could only endure it. The one who just laughed was also because he was a senior member.

But the rather charming Liu Lan couldn't stand his temper, and immediately said sarcastically, "Fatty, you deserve it!"

"You're trying to slap someone on the back, aren't you?"

These words made the fat man blush deeply. In this era, flattery was not a good thing, but he didn't dare to offend Liu Lan. Everyone in the factory knew that this woman had a bad reputation and had unclear relationships with this and that.

Frustrated, I could only continue peeling the potatoes by myself.

After being scolded, Sha Zhu finally felt a bit better. He sat down, picked up his teacup, and sipped his tea. As the head chef of the canteen and also a cook in the kitchen, Sha Zhu usually didn't do any work in the morning. He would sit on that recliner and take a nap.

But remembering Xu Damao's words about going to the police, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did, and he was absent-minded and listless all day...

"Da Mao, what's brewing in your cup?" A colleague from the film projection team came over, curious about Xu Da Mao's dark, oily tea.

"Strong tea!" Xu Damao made up an excuse casually.

Actually, these are all Chinese medicine ingredients. I just happened to pass by a pharmacy and specifically went to buy them. The main purpose is to brew them instead of decocting them, so that the kidney can be nourished.

The "Bastard System" is a complete bastard. In the previous life, it at least cured the original owner's asthma, but in this life, it doesn't even care.

This is so disgusting, it's outrageous!
"Ew~" Old Li, the projectionist, came over and took a sniff. His brows furrowed deeply; the smell was exactly like Chinese medicine. "Where did you get this tea from?"

"My God, it smells awful!" Another colleague joined in the discussion. "It smells like Chinese medicine!"

"A gift from a friend in the South!"

Don't drink recklessly!

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group went about their own business. The film projection team didn't have to go to the countryside every day; otherwise, it would be a dream job, not a lucrative one. They only went every few days.

Moreover, it had to be a group of people taking turns to go to the countryside to screen movies, which was meant to support the farmers' leisure time. Ultimately, the film projection team still belonged to the steel mill, and most of the time they went to various residential compounds or organized movie screenings together in the workshops at night. That's why it's said that this era is better; everything from food and clothing to housing and transportation is arranged clearly for you, so you don't even have to worry about leisure time. In addition, the workers also have social status, and usually they only need to do their jobs well.

Of course, this is a normal task, without any of those miscellaneous things. If anyone dared to reach out, they would be beaten to death by those fitters and blacksmiths!

So when they're not busy, they're basically maintaining the equipment. For projectionists, the projection equipment is like a weapon; if it's not on the battlefield, it needs to be polished and kept sharp!
He took the professional engine oil and started wiping it. At this moment, he could take a break, and Xu Damao's thoughts began to wander.

The original owner was a film projectionist in the propaganda department of a steel rolling mill. His salary was not much, only about thirty yuan, but he could still make a lot of money every time he went to the countryside to show movies.

He married Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of "Lou Bancheng". It can be said that in terms of living conditions alone, the Xu family was the best in the courtyard. Apart from being dissatisfied with his job and wanting to become a cadre, this can be considered as reaching the pinnacle of life.

He and Sha Zhuzi were mortal enemies. He would oppose anything that He Yuzhu supported without needing a reason. Of course, he would get beaten up every time. There are many speculations online about why he never had children.

Of course, there's no solid evidence for this. After all, the real world is the real world, and I'm not stupid enough not to call the police in this situation.

The real world is different from the drama. The drama always highlights the conflict, but I remember there were times when we won. After all, even tigers need to take naps. Even if we lost more than we won, we weren't always losing.

However, that bastard Sha Zhuzi is really mean. He was two years older than the original owner when they were young, and he also took advantage of having practiced farming skills for a few days. For some reason, he just couldn't stand Xiao Xu Damao.

This continued even as they grew up. Not to mention that Xu Damao disliked Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu also regarded Xu Damao as a thorn in his side. Whenever the other party wanted to do something, he had to ruin it. They were natural enemies who could never meet.

Just like in the drama, when Qin Huairu wanted to introduce her younger sister Qin Jingru to Sha Zhu, Xu Damao found out and said a lot of bad things about Sha Zhu.

Later, when the incident came to light, he was beaten up by Sha Zhu. But he was clearly more resistant to a beating than a lesson; whenever he got the chance, he would relentlessly sabotage Sha Zhu, and no matter how many times he was beaten, it was useless except for the occasional comeback.

Later, when he went to the big boss's house where they were showing movies, he spoke ill of Sha Zhu in front of the big boss's wife. The big boss heard him and chased him away, thus missing the opportunity to flatter the big boss.

This is all due to the protagonist's halo. Normally, Xu Damao is quite good at dealing with people. After all, if he can't speak properly, he'll be in big trouble showing movies outside.

Nowadays, projectionists not only manage the projection work, but also have to explain the plot of the movie. After all, many people in rural areas have never seen it before, and even people in remote areas don't know what it is. If you don't explain, no one will understand it.

This is also why there are outsiders who churn out narration. Whether the narration is good or bad depends entirely on the projectionist. If they are not happy, they will just do a perfunctory job, but if they are happy, then there is nothing to say.

Of course, Wu Mingfan never thought that the original owner, Xu Damao, was a good person. This guy was the kind who didn't make big mistakes but kept making small ones. He used his little bit of power very clearly.

He just didn't live in modern times, otherwise he would definitely be a "nightclub prince".

In terms of relationships, he was also constantly surrounded by women. He was a womanizer and would not behave himself when he went to the countryside to show movies. He would get entangled with some widows in the village. Of course, there was a bottom line: it was a mutual consent relationship. As a projectionist, he had food ration coupons, so it was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.

Even after marrying Lou Xiao'e, he didn't stop mocking her, repeatedly saying she was a barren hen because they had no children.

There are differences between now and decades from now in the era of advanced internet. For example, people may believe that the inability to have children is due to the woman, not their own fault.

He was often restless in the courtyard. As a "friend of the widow," he always had his eye on Qin Huairu. Of course, he could occasionally get his hands on her, and he even succeeded in the drama. At least he was better off than that silly pig.

I slacked off until noon.

"Come on, Damao, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch!" a colleague called out as he came over with a lunchbox.

Canteen No. 1?

Isn't this Sha Zhu's territory?
