1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 152 The two people ran away

 What puzzles Li Duoyu is.

Since we all know the identities of the two fake Hong Kong Islanders, why don’t we control them and take back the money?

 Why are you still looking for him?

 Li Duoyu had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Secretary Chen said:

“Those two Hong Kong Islanders didn’t know how they learned that we were investigating him, so they ran away with the money the day before yesterday.”

 Hear this.

 The thermos cup in Wang Dapao's hand outside the door fell to the ground with a loud noise.

 After everyone heard the sound.

Of course I know who is eavesdropping, but Chen Shulin hates him so much now. Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for this "good start" from Wang Dapao, the two fake Hong Kong Islanders wouldn't have been able to defraud him of so much money.

Li Duoyu was surprised and said, "No one is blocking you?"

 Chen Shulin shook his head: "No, we have mobilized a lot of people to block them at the entry and exit port of Hong Kong Island."

 Entry and entry ports?

Li Duoyu frowned and thought about it. He didn't think he could block anyone there, and the two fake Hong Kong Islanders weren't stupid either.

 After the incident, it was impossible to return to Hong Kong through regular channels.

  He came here with goods and knew that cash from the mainland is like waste paper to Hong Kong people and must be exchanged for items of equal value.

 Coupled with the strict control during this period, it is not easy to exchange such a large amount of cash into silver dollars and small yellow croakers.

Li Duoyu reminded: "Secretary Chen, I suggest you find another place to block people. Our money can't be used there. They have so much money in their hands, they will definitely not be able to go back so quickly."

“You mean they’re going to exchange it for silver dollars?”

Li Duoyu shook his head and said: "The efficiency is too low. Nowadays, they are tight on goods. One silver dollar can't even be exchanged for seven yuan. If they really want to exchange silver dollars, they have so much money that they probably won't be able to exchange it all in a month." , we have a place in China specifically for “foreigners” to make purchases faster.”

Chen Shulin and his group suddenly realized: "You mean, Friendship Store?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "I heard from people in Hong Kong that there are legal cultural relics for sale there, and they all like to go there."

 Chen Shulin slapped his thigh suddenly: "Damn it, why didn't I expect that there is such a channel?"

 “You can do it, kid.”

“Why don’t you just stop being the village director and come to work in the town.”

 Li Duoyu shook his head repeatedly.

“No, I don’t have much education, I just like to do some farming.”

“Speaking of which, thank you very much for this. We have to find someone quickly, otherwise it will be really troublesome if they really run away.”

When leaving the conference room, Chen Shulin happened to see Wang Dapao at the door.

Wang Dapao hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Secretary, abalone farming is really none of my business. I'm just helping Director Yang of the Fisheries Research Institute to get in touch."

 “I didn’t expect this either.”

Chen Shulin looked at the pale Wang Dapao bitterly and said in a deep voice: "I say Wang Xianjun, why do you try to shirk responsibility when something happens? It's none of your business, that's none of my business."

“The villagers of Dandan Island have been defrauded of so much money. If you don’t think about them, why are you still the village party secretary?”

“You should reflect carefully during this period and submit a report to me when the time comes.”

Wang Dapao nodded repeatedly.

 “Secretary Chen, I’ll write right away.”

“I want you to think about it carefully before writing, not right away.”

 Next.

Wang Dapao followed Li Duoyu and sent Secretary Chen and his party to the dock.

 After the iron boat with the fishery policy printed on it left, Wang Dapao quickly pulled Li Duoyu aside: "Duoyu, you can't tell the people in the village about this."

Li Duoyu looked at Wang Dapao who was sweating profusely.

“Comrade Wang Xianjun, even if I didn’t tell you about this, your abalone breeding project has not started yet. Why wouldn’t everyone ask you?”

Wang Dapao said anxiously: "Anyway, just don't say it yet. Maybe Secretary Chen will get the money back soon."

“Our island has invested a total of more than 100,000 yuan. This is not a small amount of money. If everyone knows that they have been cheated, they will definitely come to the village committee to make trouble.”

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes at him and murmured: "If I want to make trouble, I'll make trouble for you. It's impossible for me to make trouble."

Wang Dapao smiled bitterly and said: "Comrade Duoyu, I am doing this for everyone's benefit. Who would have known that I would encounter a liar? We are all village cadres, so you have to help me."

Li Duoyu:

 After Li Duoyu left the dock, he went to "Hai Yao" in Xiasha Village.

 The houses are very dense, and most families do not have courtyards. Many families live together, without separation.

 After all, dividing a family requires certain financial conditions. If you can't even build a house, why divide a family? Most of the people here do not have fishing boats, so they can only fish in the small sea. The men work for the boss of the boat, and the women go to the pier to weave nets.

 At the end of a year, I won’t make much money.

 Before, there were several people who put kelp seedlings and oyster seedlings on Li Duoyu, and they were the people on this side.

They were very happy to see Li Duoyu and thought they were coming to live: "Duoyu, do you have something to do again?"

Li Duoyu smiled.

 “No, I’ll come over and take a look.”

 Another woman said: "Cuilan, you will be called the village chief from now on. Stop calling people too many fish."

 “Yes, yes, I’m going to call the village chief.”

The woman named Cuilan then asked: "Village chief, are you still short of people? I'll ask the guards to follow you, and you can just pay him some salary."

 “There is no shortage of people yet.”

"Well, you are going to be short of people, but you have to tell me. My guards are very honest and willing to work."

 “Okay, let’s talk about it later.”

Looking at the two women in front of him, Li Duoyu smiled. What really made him want to get involved in abalone farming was the people on his side.

 Maybe it’s because of poverty.

 They want to seize the opportunity to get rich more than anyone else. Many families, like the Zhao brothers, have invested half their life savings in the abalone farming project.

If they knew that the two Hong Kong Islanders had run away, Li Duoyu was worried that someone would really get it wrong, so he did not publish the information.

 And Li Duoyu was walking.

He walked to Chen Wenchao's house. He used to come here just to tease Liu Xiaolan.

They especially like to watch her squatting to wash clothes. In fact, not only Li Duoyu and the others like to watch, but the Zhao brothers often hide at home and watch secretly.

 Just for that moment when she bent down.

 Get to the back.

Liu Xiaolan no longer dared to wash clothes at the well, so she went home to fetch water and wash clothes.

I found that the master was building a stone wall for their house, which looked pretty good.

 The whole house adds up to almost 60 square meters, which may not sound big, but it is because there is no "shared area".

It is still possible to get three bedrooms and one living room, which is enough for Chen Wenchao and his family.

 Lao Cao, who was laying stone, saw Li Duoyu and said, "Duoyu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. When will your family build a new house?"

 Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I won't cover it."

“You are stingy. You make so much money that you are reluctant to build a house.”

 Li Duoyu replied:

 “You don’t understand, this is called nostalgia.”

“Think about it, how old are you? Hurry up and make an order. I will give priority to your family.”

 “Let’s talk about it later.”

 To Li Duoyu’s surprise, Chen Wenchao and Liu Xiaolan were not at home. Instead, an old lady with handicapped legs came out shakily on crutches after hearing the sound.

 After seeing Li Duoyu.

The old lady leaned her cane against the wall and was about to kneel down for him on the spot.

Li Duoyu's scalp went numb when he saw this scene. He quickly helped the old lady up before she knelt down.

“Grandma Chen, this is impossible.”

The old lady burst into tears: "Thank you for bringing our Xiaochao. During this period, I have always wanted to go to your house to thank you in person, but when the typhoon came last time, my head was hit. Now I can't even do this." I can’t even lower my waist.”

 “It’s really not necessary. Besides, Xiao Chao also helped me a lot.”

Li Duoyu helped the old lady back to Liu Xiaolan's room, and then noticed that Chen Wenchao and Liu Xiaolan had been sleeping in the same room as the old lady during this period.

 No wonder Erbaiwu and Liu Xiaolan have become more and more familiar with each other in recent times.

As he was leaving Half Yao, Li Duoyu met the Zhao brothers on the way. The brothers were all dirty and looked like they were going to dig blue crabs again.

The two of them were very respectful to him now, saying "Hello, village director" one after another, which made his skin crawl.

 I heard it from others.

It seems that the two brothers are also planning to build a house in the near future. They do not plan to build it halfway here, but plan to buy land near the pier.
