From the Siheyuan, I started to run around in the world

The people from the security department took Xu Damao into the security department and locked him up, while they asked the kneeling widow Li Cuihua to get up and sit down in the security department first.

It was a cold day, and a widow was kneeling at the factory gate holding her child. So many people were watching and pointing. It had a very bad impact.

This widow named Li Cuihua was from Wangjiazhuang, Red Star Commune.

This widow Li was the widow who made Xu Damao feel most comfortable when he went to the countryside to show movies.

Li Cuihua was very good at serving people. She never disliked Xu Damao for being useless, and always praised him kindly for being capable and manly.

Xu Damao found his sense of being a man in her. This is one of the reasons why Wangjiazhuang shows more movies than other villages around it.

Of course, Xu Damao was not a stingy person in this regard. He usually gave 50 cents or 1 yuan to other widows, but he gave 1 or 2 yuan to Li Cuihua, and the most he once gave was 5 yuan.

As his salary was not enough to spend, Xu Damao secretly sold a gold bar that Lou Xiao'e brought as a dowry.

But what puzzled Xu Damao was that he had never heard her mention her pregnancy.

The child was too young, only a few months old, and it was impossible to tell who he looked like. Besides, there was no DNA testing these days. Since the two had done this before and the couple came back with the child, it was confirmed.

No matter how Xu Damao defended himself, it was useless.

But even if things have come to this point, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

If Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e could quickly divorce and marry the widow, the matter could be quickly settled, the impact could be minimized, and the relationship could be smoothed out, perhaps they could avoid jail time.

This issue is something that Xu Damao's father Xu Fugui should worry about, and has nothing to do with others.

By the time the news reached Siheyuan, it had already been completely distorted.

"Hey, did you know that a widow came to Xu Damao with her child in her arms and knelt down at the factory?"

"Aren't there two widows kneeling at the factory gate?"

"Two? There are widows that Xu Damao has slept with in every village. Maybe more will come in a few days."

What a shame! She had a delicate daughter-in-law at home, but she had to go to the countryside to play widow and gave birth to a son. As expected, Lou Xiao'e went crazy.

But even if Lou Xiao'e went crazy, she couldn't catch Xu Damao, as he was still being held in the Security Department.

It is unknown what price Xu Fugui paid, but the development of the matter was just as Zhang Dongliang expected. Lou Xiao'e divorced Xu Damao without any suspense. Xu Damao was also forced to marry the widow.

In the Lou family villa.

Lou Xiao'e cried in her room and refused to come out to see anyone.

"Swish." Director Lou Zhenhua was so angry that his face turned blue. He pushed everything on the table to the ground and pointed at Lou Tan and cursed: "This is the good son-in-law you insisted on finding."

"This is not~~~" Lou Tan looked at her husband's ashen face and dared not to argue anymore.

"What a sin~~" Lou Tan regretted finding a son-in-law like Xu Damao, but it made her daughter suffer.

Lou Xiao'e was too embarrassed to stay in the courtyard, mainly because she had no place to live. Xu Damao was dealt with, the house had been taken back, and Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to move back to the Lou family's villa.

Although Xu Damao was spared from imprisonment, he still had to endure some punishment.

Xu Damao was arranged to go to a steel city at a port in Hebei Province to participate in the construction aid work. He was transferred from the steel rolling mill and also left the city.

Zhang Dongliang did meet Brother Damao. Xu Damao's face turned pale, he opened his mouth but said nothing, and went home to pack his luggage.

Widow Li didn't mind following Xu Damao to Gangcheng. As long as she left the countryside and stopped making a living there, any city would be better than staying in the countryside.

The widow Li Cuihua soon boarded a train to Gangcheng in the north with her three children and Xu Damao.

How come there are three children? Li Cuihua originally had a son and a daughter, and with Xu Damao's son, there are three now, right?

You said this couldn't be Xu Damao's son? Who knows? But is this important now?

Xu Damao officially came to an end at the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

"The first snow of 1960 came later than ever before~~~" On the last day of 1960, Zhang Dongliang sang this song on his way home in the snow. He felt it was particularly appropriate~~~

Amidst the snow, we arrived in 1961.

The world covered in snow is beautiful and poetic.

But it wouldn’t be as poetic if you couldn’t light a stove to keep warm in a world covered in snow.

The shortage of food supply caused by natural disasters has actually affected all aspects. People have a limited amount of money, and most of it is used to buy food, leaving them with no money to buy other things.

The supply of coal was not enough to burn, if there was enough money, we could buy some firewood to burn. Now we can't even take care of food, so buying more firewood for heating seems like a luxury.

Therefore, Zhang Dongliang's warm little house became the favorite place for many women to stay. Especially He Yushui and Yu Haitang, who would stay in it and not go out on weekends.

Zhang Dongliang doesn't need to worry about these things, Qin Jingru can just play with them, he is still busy going to work. Listen, how confident he is, he still has to go to work.

I really can't not go to work. Although Deputy Section Chief Zhang will not retire until next spring, the incident with Xu Damao suddenly happened, so the work of showing movies in the countryside had to be temporarily suspended.

Who will take over this mess? Although Zhang Dongliang can show movies, he will never show movies in the countryside.

It doesn't matter if you do it once in a while to experience life, but it is absolutely impossible for him to do this every day as a deputy section chief.

Then just arrange for someone else to come in. It’s not something I need to consider anyway.

Zhang Dongliang was also very surprised.

The Propaganda Department of a large regular state-owned factory should be under the direct leadership of the organization, and the deputy chief of the Propaganda Department must be a member of the organization.

How can someone like Zhang Dongliang, who has not yet joined the organization, serve as deputy chief of the Propaganda Department?

But everything is attributed to the fact that this is a mixed world of film and television, and the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a public-private joint venture, so these unreasonable things can be barely explained.

The projectionist hired another apprentice, Wu Pengwei, who was said to be a relative of Deputy Director Li. Zhang Dongliang didn't care who he was, as long as he could do the job.

Zhang Dongliang doesn't want to show movies in the countryside, but someone has to show movies for the factory workers, right?

Deputy Section Chief Lao Zhang does have a projectionist certificate, but he said he would retire in two months and asked the factory to arrange someone else.

As mentioned before, Zhang Dongliang had boasted to Xu Damao about the movie screening, and Xu Damao had also boasted to Zhang Dongliang in the Propaganda Department. Now he can't even pretend that he doesn't know how to do it.

After much deliberation, the leaders decided that Zhang Dongliang was the only person in the Propaganda Department who could take on this important task.

In desperation, Zhang Dongliang was sent to the Municipal Film Company by his leader, where he urgently took a film projectionist certificate and temporarily took on the job of projecting movies in the factory.
