Chapter Twenty-Six: Giving Away Profits and Repaying Rewards

"Hero's resignation?"

Chen Jingnian turned his head to look at Liu Guanggeng, who was deep in thought, and said with a smile: "Master, I see that this day is getting colder and colder, and when the weekend comes, I will cut some wormwood and make you some wormwood smoked hands." ā€

"Jing Nian, you have a heart."

Liu Guanggeng's face warmed and patted Chen Jingnian's shoulder.

The two returned to the screening group, and after Lao Liu sat down, his hands rubbed each other's bone joints, and only after half a sound did he speak: "Jing Nian, I'll go to the factory office to make a phone call in a while, and see if I can let Lao Sun of the Film Bureau stuff you into this year's screening class. ā€

"Huh? Master, I'm not in a hurry, don't ask for help. ā€

Chen Jingnian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said after coming back to his senses.

"Don't be in a hurry, if you are a year late, you will be a year late in the exam, and your salary will be raised one year later. It's not a difficult thing to do as I say, and besides, I'm retiring in less than two years, and the factory is happy to have an additional certified projectionist. ā€

Lao Liu glared at Chen Jingnian, stood up with his hands behind his back, and walked out of the screening group.

Chen Jingnian poured a glass of water and took a sip slowly.

He knew that it was only at this time that Lao Liu really recognized him as an apprentice.

In fact, from the first day, Lao Liu has been testing him.

When he was talking to Xu Damao, the rest of his eyes found that Lao Liu was also paying attention to him; When Lao Liu was taking a nap, he could feel that Lao Liu's breathing was not a very shallow and soothing rhythm, but consciously controlled.

It's human nature.

He didn't know how much favor Li Mancang had spent to get Lao Liu to agree to take him as an apprentice.

But favors are favors, Lao Liu responded to this matter and did accept him, but it doesn't mean that he has to teach him with heart.

Master and apprentice, master and apprentice, how many are masters and apprentices are just the name of master and apprentice.

I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs go!

Although Chen Jingnian has never studied with a teacher, he also knows that there is a difference between an apprentice and an apprentice.

In terms of technology and craftsmanship, the master does not need to teach, which is a world of difference for the apprentice.

If you are really treated as an apprentice, you will not only be taught the ability to eat, but also the principles of being a person and doing things, and even entrust your social relations to you.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingnian sighed, took out a nanmu stick, and slowly carved it.

Before getting off work, Lao Liu walked in humming a little song and said with a smile: "Jing Nian, you don't have to tell your sixth uncle, when I went to the factory office to make a call, he and our director were also gossiping in that room, and I was blocked."

I told Lao Sun of the Film Bureau about this on the phone, and Lao Sun also responded, and your sixth uncle listened to the phone and pulled our director to find the factory leader. ā€

"Master, I—I don't even know what to say."

Chen Jingnian was really moved, he just acted according to his heart, and he didn't think about anything.

And he didn't actually give anything except desserts.

Now the master is begging for him, and this favor is heavy.

My mind was churning, and I suddenly felt that the kind of human affection in my previous life was lighter than water, and there were only interests, and there was no right or wrong office politics, which was really boring.

"Tell me anything, you are my apprentice, I am your master, you just need to remember this."

Liu Guanggeng withdrew the sleeves on his arms, sat on the chair, and said: "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you to get on the machine, you work hard, the study class at the Film Bureau has been open for four months, you are transferred, not only to catch up with the progress before the year-end exam, but also to learn better than them, give me an excellent return when the exam comes." ā€

"Just do it, this note says I've memorized it."

Chen Jingnian grinned, and good words came out: "Besides, I have you to open a small stove, I must be better than them." ā€

"You kid is a lazy thing, you want to eat a small stove, okay! Let's talk ugly ahead, your master and my little stove is not delicious, if you cheat and play tricks, I can smoke you. ā€

Liu Guanggeng said yes, but his eyes were full of smiles, and then he asked suspiciously: "I can ask your sixth uncle, your sixth uncle said that you are cured, but you look thin, but you are actually stronger than livestock." ā€

"Master, I did have a serious illness before, and now I am all cured, and the doctor specially examined me before I was discharged from the hospital, and there is really nothing wrong with it."

Chen Jingnian poured water for the master, sat down and continued: "You said that other female comrades came to see me, and they didn't have any bad intentions, I didn't want to have a problem with them, and I couldn't force them out, so I found such an excuse." ā€

"Then you really don't plan on this, or do you already have a favorite."

Liu Guanggeng recognized Chen Jingnian, and after taking him as an apprentice, his mind was different.

"Master, you can also hear about my family, my sister only got married this month, and now I and my sister are at home, as well as my fifth uncle. The old and the young, the past few years have been a lot of tosses, and I want to live a stable life for two years now, and I really don't want to think about these for the time being. ā€

What Chen Jingnian said is the truth, and it is not false at all.

Now his family is poor and white, and he is personally at a turning point in his life, coupled with the failed marriage in his previous life.

Taken together, these reasons make him extremely cautious about personal issues.

And this era is not like the later generations, you can first have an in-depth understanding, learn from each other, and even try to get married.

Now is the age of evidence at a glance, and he doesn't want to lose his wings as soon as he is free.

Although you can't wave like the future generations, at least you still have freedom!

"Yes!"

Liu Guanggeng groaned, then sighed, and then raised his voice two tones, sounding energetic: "Jing Nian, your matter, your sixth uncle told me before, he was afraid of it, and I was terrified when I heard it." But as the old saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing, a good day! It's still to come. ā€

"That's it! With you, I have another backer, haha. ā€

Chen Jingnian aggravated his tone very proudly, and climbed up with a pole, not wanting anything to be cheeky.

"Your sixth uncle said that you are a monkey, look at it this way! It's true. ā€

Liu Guanggeng nodded twice and laughed along.

Chen Jingnian scratched his head and smiled "hehe".

"Jing Nian, you are a person with a heart. But there are some things that the master has to say first. ā€

Liu Guanggeng smiled and said in a deep voice.

Chen Jingnian also became serious and sat up straight.

"People say that the projectionist is a good job and a fat man, and that's true."

Liu Guanggeng glanced at Chen Jingnian, and then said: "When we went to the countryside, the villagers were warmly entertained, and they took out what they were usually reluctant to eat and used to entertain us, and it was not the case that we sternly refused.

But when we eat it, we must keep it in our hearts and appreciate it, and we can't think that it is the duty of the villagers.

Especially not like Xu Damao, not only eat more and occupy more, but also insatiable, the villagers made him a bowl of oil tea, he didn't add sugar, and he couldn't see wine and meat on the table, so he put chopsticks and made his face. ā€

Chen Jingnian waited for the master to finish speaking, and solemnly responded: "I remember, master." ā€

Liu Guanggeng was happy in his heart, and after saying two heavy words, he couldn't stand it a little at first.

So he turned the words back: "I know that you are not that kind of person, and you can't do that kind of thing, but when I retire, I will be left with you and Xu Damao, and I am afraid that he will take you badly."

Also, when you get your certificate and go to the countryside to show a movie, remember to bring some rations, when the fellow entertains you, you can eat it, and leave the rations for others when you leave, or prepare some tablets for headache and brain fever. ā€

"Master, I remember, as for Xu Damao, don't say one, even ten can't hurt me."

Chen Jingnian was obedient and listened to the sound, and when he saw that the master took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, he immediately returned to his original state.

"You are my apprentice, I don't care what others do, if you really learn like Xu Damao's virtue, no matter if I retire or not, when I say a word, your senior brothers will be able to clean you up!"

"Master, you! Don't worry, our whole family doesn't want to see him, and he has to take a detour when he sees my fifth uncle......"

Chen Jingnian was halfway through his speech when the bell rang after work.

"Yes, let's get out!"

Liu Guanggeng poured the water in the jar into the basin and said confidently: "That's it today, let's learn to go to the machine tomorrow, the opening movie on the weekend, it's better to see than to hear, it's better to see it than to operate it again, regardless of the good or bad, those students in the screening class can't do it to guard a few machines." ā€

"It's impossible to have one master for one person! Yes, master! ā€

"Haha, you kid just skin."

The master and apprentice laughed and walked out, and then parted in front of the gate.

Liu Guanggeng's home is in Chaci Hutong, where many people in the factory live, so there is a group of old friends of the same age who commute to work every day.

These people walked on foot, amusing the bored as they went, and they were very happy.

Chen Jingnian rode a bicycle and looked at the meadow, yesterday there was still a stage of you and me, running and frolicking on the grass, but now it is empty.

Chen Jingnian felt that he had done a very unsightly thing for the sake of his belly.

But when he got home, the remaining guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Brother, why are you so powerful!"

"Brother, why don't you take me there!"

"Brother, can you catch a live rabbit for me!"

"Brother......

"Brother is about to be annoyed by you!"

"Why don't you like to hear good things anymore!"

"Brother is amazing!"

Chen Jingnian was teasing the girl lying on his back while cooking.

Start with a pot of eggplant and dried potatoes stewed with rabbit meat.

Then use a small piece of fat meat from the rabbit, boil some oil, and then use the green onion pot to stimulate the aroma of the green onion and add the soup, wait for the soup to boil before putting in the cut shredded radish, seasoning, and wait for the soup to boil twice, take the tip of the chopsticks and dip a drop of sesame oil in the pot.

Then I heard the sound of the girl sucking in behind her back.

"Gluttonous cat, go pick up the bowl, if I find a saliva ring on my clothes later, hum!"

Chen Jingnian shook off his sister and said intimidating while scooping out shredded radish soup.

"Maybe it's your own sweat!"

Before she came down, she patted her brother's back with her hand and whispered.

"Malier, I'll send it to the fifth uncle first."

Chen Jingnian put the big bowl on the table, divided the two dishes, and brought them to the main house.

Li Xianwen asked Chen Jingnian to pour him some wine, and he picked out the rabbit meat in the dish.

"Fifth uncle, there is one, you have to eat some meat."

"If nothing else, the rabbit meat is cold, and it doesn't taste yet, and the meat smell is all in the dish. It's not good for me to eat too much, you ask the girl not to eat more, the girl is weak, let her drink more radish soup. ā€

Li Xianwen picked out the rabbit meat from the vegetable bowl, picked up the last piece and put it in his mouth.
