The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 498 Unsung Hero!

After seeing everyone nod, Yan Bugui pushed the leg of his glasses wrapped in white tape and said, "We can use the money we collect to buy public salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other things, and distribute them to each household..."

Having said that, I would like to recommend myself..."

Yan Bugui began to show his true colors.

"We have lived in the same courtyard for decades, and everyone knows that I am the one who compares prices before buying anything.

If you neighbors trust me, just give me your money and I will raise funds to purchase the daily necessities you often use. I will definitely buy the most suitable products at the most favorable prices and will not let you down! !
Yan Bugui has a very smart plan. He is planning to use this general meeting to make some money for himself! !

Although tickets are required to buy many things these days, he has connections with students and parents who can get supplies without tickets...

He has already thought about it. When the time comes, he will ask the students' parents to help him. He will quote the price of the goods at 1.5 yuan as 1.6 yuan or 1.7 yuan. The difference between the two will be his for free, right? ? ?
Everyone in the courtyard knew Yan Bugui's character, and they all sneered after hearing his words.

"Uncle Yan, you are such a tough guy, who would dare to let you go shopping..."

"You are not a purchasing agent. If you were, you would have been arrested and taken to the police station long ago..."

"It's fine to charge residents from other courtyards for watching movies, but you can't take this money."

"Let me be fair. Although Old Yan likes to calculate, he always buys things a little cheaper than everyone else..."

"I also think it would be better to give the collected money to Old Yan for safekeeping..."

"Or we can assign another person to work with Master Yan, one as a cashier and the other as an accountant, so that they can check and balance each other..."

"Well, the movie equipment hasn't been brought in yet. It's not certain whether there will be neighbors from other courtyards coming to watch it. Isn't it too early for you to say this now?"

"What are you talking about? Who wouldn't fight for a movie ticket at five cents a piece?"

"That's fine. I think there might not be enough room in the front yard of our courtyard to sit..."

"Since we are selling tickets, there must be someone watching to prevent anyone from sneaking in and evading the ticket..."

Well, Yan Bugui took the lead, and a group of people chattered and immediately set up a temporary cinema in the courtyard.

We have already appointed people to positions such as ticket sellers, order maintainer, accountant, and cashier.

……

Around 7:45 p.m.
After having dinner at home, the residents of the courtyard house gathered in the front yard carrying stools.

Because an open-air movie was to be shown in the evening, two large light bulbs were temporarily installed in the courtyard, using electricity from Yi Zhonghai's home.

The big light bulbs illuminated the yard as bright as day, and everyone sat under them, chatting in groups of three or five.

There was no one here today, everyone was talking about this and that, and all the things were related to tonight's general meeting.

"Director Zhang's suggestion is the best. We can watch a movie and celebrate this historic day in our country at the same time!"

"I'm so happy today. I added two eggs to the cornmeal porridge tonight. Can this be considered a celebration banquet?"

"Why not? We put a lot of sesame oil in the dishes tonight..."

"In the future, with YZD..."

"On a day when the whole country is celebrating, if we show a movie in our courtyard, it will be a great story if it gets out!"

"It's Zhang Shenfei who is so smart. He even thought of showing a movie..."

The group of people started talking again.

Xu Damao was listening at the side. He was quite excited at first, but then he became more and more puzzled the more he listened.

No, didn't he borrow this projector from the steel mill? Why did all the credit go to Zhang Shenfei?
After all this time, I was busy all the time, trying to get favors and gifts, and I was so busy that I didn't even have time to eat dinner, but in the end, I made wedding clothes for Zhang Shenfei? ?

No, it has been more than ten years since the founding of the country, how can such a thing still happen???
But when he turned around again, he saw Sha Zhu busy making dumplings in the He family's kitchen, and his heart suddenly felt balanced again.

More than a hundred buns are no joke. Although Sha Zhu is a cook at the steel mill and has the privilege of getting pork without a ticket, just chopping the stuffing and making the buns, plus steaming them, is a big project.

Sha Zhu and his wife have been so busy that they haven't even had a sip of water.

In comparison, I am already very happy sitting in the crowd and chatting with everyone...

Thinking of this, Xu Damao's face became much better, and he thought to himself that happiness is really derived from comparison! !
The Siheyuan family had agreed to go to the movies at 5:30 in the afternoon, so Sha Zhu got home and started getting busy. After more than two hours of hard work, he finally finished making all the buns.

It was too late to steam them, after all, the movie had to start at 8:30. After he put the buns in the steamer and started steaming them, he washed his hands, changed his clothes and walked out.

He walked to Xu Damao and pushed him aside with his butt: "Hey, Xu Damao, why don't you go and fix the projector? What are you doing sitting here?"

Why was he busy like a dog in the kitchen, but was here chatting with Sister Qin? ?

Damn, so angry!!

Xu Damao looked at him and snorted, "My projection technology is the best in the city, why would I need to adjust the projector...

Just wait and see. I will make sure that the movie is played in a way that no one can find fault with. "

When Xu Damao first entered the steel factory, he entered as a defense apprentice and learned from his father for a period of time.

Although I haven't touched a projector for a long time since I became a clerk, showing movies is like riding a bicycle or flying a plane. Once you learn it, you will never forget it.

Xu Damao boasted with his eyes closed, but Sha Zhu no longer paid attention to him. He turned his head and looked at Qin Huairu and said with a smile: "Sister Qin, I have put the buns in the steamer. I will give them to everyone later... You and Banggeng will each have two..."

"Silly Zhu, isn't this inappropriate?" Qin Huairu looked at him with a smile on her face, "Everyone only has one, but we have two. This is not fitting in..."

Sha Zhu waved his hand and said, "Well, what's wrong with that? I sponsored the buns, so I can give them to anyone I want?"

Qin Huairu glanced at Liu Lan, whose face had turned pale behind Sha Zhu: "Well, forget it. I'm afraid Liu Lan will be unhappy..."

"Can Liu Lan control me?" Sha Zhu sneered.

"Silly Zhu, you bastard, stop pretending. Which grandson was beaten by Liu Lan yesterday..." Xu Damao fanned the flames, "I can see that you are a coward. You can't even beat Liu Lan."

Sha Zhu was about to refute him, but he felt a gust of cold wind behind him and suddenly an idea came to his mind. The words on his lips changed direction, and the words he spoke next were completely different from what he had just thought:
"Xu Damao grandson, don't provoke me! Liu Lan and I are in love with each other. It's not that I can't beat her, I just can't bear to beat her...

This is called love! You know nothing! ! "

Hiss! ! Xu Damao was very disappointed that he failed to dig a hole and bury Sha Zhu in it.

Liu Lan, who was standing behind Sha Zhu, heard his words and her face immediately turned from cloudy to bright. She smiled and said, "Sha Zhu, you forgot to bring the teacup when you came out just now. I brought it out for you..."

By the way, I have soaked some high-quality liquor in it for you, see if it works, if not I will change it for you? ? "

Silly Zhu turned around and pretended to have just discovered Liu Lan's presence: "It's fine as long as it's high-end. I'm not picky. Wife, you should sit down quickly too. If there are too many people, we won't be able to find a place to sit..."

He was not exaggerating when he said this. The news that No. 95 Courtyard was going to show an open-air movie had spread throughout the entire street like wings.

Not only Nanluoguxiang, but also residents from the surrounding Heizhima Hutong and Shoubi Hutong came over. There were too many people, so Yi Zhonghai and Zhang Shenfei specially transferred the three brothers of the Yan family and the two brothers of the Liu family to maintain order.

Yan Bugui set up a table next to the hanging flower gate in the front yard to sell tickets. He was afraid that someone would evade the ticket, but there were still some riders who wanted to, so he actually got some white paper and wrote on it.

When people who bought tickets entered the front yard through the hanging flower gate, Zhang Cuihua and Tang Danniu were guarding here collecting admission tickets.

Each person gets one ticket, each ticket is five cents, and children can get half price at only two and a half cents.

One ticket is charged for each person entering, completely eliminating the chance of fare evasion.

Uncle Yu from Yard No. 90 had a family of ten. They spent fifty cents just on tickets. After entering, he turned his eyes and looked at Xu Damao and Zhang Shenfei and said:
"Hey, why don't you say there's an official in the courtyard who can do some good things.

Look, we have so many courtyards here, but only your courtyard can borrow a projector...

Tsk tsk tsk, if there are cadres in the courtyard, all the residents in the courtyard can benefit from it..."

Xu Damao glanced at Zhang Shenfei, and after getting his explanation, he immediately looked at Uncle Yu and gave him a fake smile: "Well, Uncle Yu, you misunderstood.

We didn’t borrow this projector from the steel mill, we rented it.”

Rented? Uncle Yu went out to look at him.

"Isn't it? I paid for it!! If you want to rent it, just contact the factory directly as long as the money is in place..." Xu Damao suppressed everyone's thoughts with just one sentence.

Immediately, no one said anything sarcastic anymore.

At 7:50, the three Dongguan-style uncles in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Zhang Shenfei, walked up to the curtain.

Before Yi Zhonghai and Zhang Shenfei could react, Liu Haizhong took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, coughed twice, and said in an official tone:

"Today, we invite everyone to come to this general meeting, mainly because our country successfully launched the YZD today!

What is yzd? It is a national weapon, a national weapon! With it, we will stand up completely.

Catching up with Y and surpassing C is no problem!!! In order to celebrate this day of national joy, all of us in the hospital expressed our desire to celebrate together!!

Now, please let the respected master of our courtyard say a few words..."

After talking a lot of nonsense that everyone knew, Liu Haizhong reluctantly handed the stage to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai stood up, looked around at everyone, and smiled with his signature honest smile: "Well, the second uncle has said everything that needs to be said just now.

I just want to say that if a country is rich, its people will be rich; if a country is strong, its people will be strong!!

Today, everyone should enjoy watching movies, eating and drinking well, and remember this day forever!!”

"Good!! What the uncle said is good!" Sha Zhu started to flatter him.

"A strong country is built on a strong people. This saying is so true! When I heard the news today, I walked with my back straighter!" a resident shouted.

"It's not a big deal. It's a pity that we have severed diplomatic relations with the Bear Country. Otherwise, if I saw those Bear people on the street, I would be even more shocked!!"

A few years ago when the two countries were in their honeymoon period, there were quite a lot of Chinese people in Beijing.

"Without Zhang the butcher, will we still eat hairy pigs? No, haven't we developed their hairy bears?!"

The residents were talking about it, and seeing that the topic was about to go off track, Mr. Yu from the next yard couldn't help it:

"It's almost eight o'clock, forget about talking, just start the movie, we all bought tickets..."

The people in Yard No. 95 had candies and melon seeds, and they ate while discussing.

But what about the residents of other courtyards? They had nothing to eat or drink, and no place to sit, so they could only stand.

Who has the time or mood to listen to them chatting here??!

"Let's start." Zhang Shenfei waved his hand and Xu Damao immediately took his position.

While waiting for the movie to officially start, Yan Bugui saw that the residents of other courtyards all had empty-handed things. An idea suddenly came to his mind. He quietly left his seat, found Aunt Yan, and whispered a few words to her.

Aunt Yan trotted all the way back home, and when she appeared again, she had a small basket in her hand.

Behind her, her three sons each held a kettle.

"I dried and fried pumpkin seeds at home... one cent a handful, want some?"

"Don't you want melon seeds? We still have boiled water, 2 cents a cup, and sugar water is 2 cents. Gao Sui is also 2 cents. Anyone need it?"

By the time the movie officially started, Aunt Yan had already made ten cents. She was immediately delighted and said that her old man really had a good business sense.

It's a pity that the country doesn't allow people to do business now, otherwise with his keen vision, wouldn't his family make a lot of money? ?

As Xu Damao shook the projector rhythmically, images soon began to appear on the screen...

The originally bustling courtyard suddenly became quiet.

The movie "The Battle of Shangganling" is an old movie. Everyone present, even the children, have seen it more than once.

But now, watching a movie like this on a day like today, everyone has a different feeling in their hearts.

When I see those soldiers sacrificing their young lives to defend their country.

Everyone's emotions were immediately affected, the soft-hearted women began to shed tears, and the children began to cry bitterly.

Although the men were holding back, their eyes were red.

When the movie was over, Zhang Shenfei walked under the curtain again:

“Don’t forget the past, keep moving forward!!
Today, our country successfully launched the YZD. In the future, we will successfully research and develop more high-tech weapons, even QD, HD...

Here I would like to remind everyone that when you drink water, you should remember the person who dug the well.

We must remember that the life we ​​have today is all thanks to the good leadership of the Sun.

In addition, our research into YZD is inseparable from the unknown scientific researchers behind the scenes.

Finally, I want to say that every position has its own hero. As long as everyone works hard and does their part well, we can all be our own heroes!!

If a country wants to be prosperous and strong, it cannot do without high-end technology, but it also cannot do without us, the working people! ! "

it is good! !

As soon as Zhang Shenfei finished speaking, there was an immediate burst of applause from the audience.
