1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 20 One thing brings down another thing

 After the two chatted for a while.

Li Yaoguo has never felt so relaxed as he does now, and the fourth child seems to have really changed after he stopped selling goods.

 And he was holding back something today and really wanted to ask Li Duoyu.

“Duoyu, was it arranged by my uncle for you to report the matter you reported?” Li Yaoguo couldn’t help but ask.

Li Duoyu glanced at his second brother. Sure enough, he was also very concerned about it. After thinking for a while, he said:

 “Well, it was my uncle who helped me.”

 “That’s right.”

While they were talking, the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua had been hiding in the doorway with her ears pricked up to eavesdrop.

 After learning that Li Duoyu’s report was arranged by his uncle, he jumped out immediately.

“It’s true. I told the people in the village this afternoon that Duoyu didn’t even go to high school. How could he say such beautiful words? They still didn’t believe me.”

Seeing Zhu Xiuhua jump out, the two brothers looked ugly, but they seemed to be used to it.

"If I had known you were going to find my uncle, I should have asked Brother You to go there. Maybe he would have shown his face in front of the leader and been transferred to the town."

"Now the people in the town are all extremely rich. I heard that the mayor's family has built a villa. I also heard people say that the guy named Brother Shui is now rich and has bought a lot. An imported car.”

Li Duoyu, who has lived two lifetimes, saw that his second sister-in-law had found a balance in his heart and was too lazy to argue with her.

Zhou Xiaoying, who was cooking in the kitchen, became unhappy on the spot when she heard Zhu Xiuhua making insinuations again.

 Li Duoyu doesn't care about her recently.

It doesn't mean that she, Zhou Xiaoying, allows others to talk about her lover like this. She has never been to high school, so how can she say those beautiful words!

 Looking at the imported cloth and folding umbrella that Li Duoyu just bought for herself, Zhou Xiaoying also had a fierce expression on her face.

Hand picked up the cloth and folding umbrella and went to the yard, he said with a surprised look on his face:

"Duoyu, when did you buy these cloths for me? Why didn't I know how much rice there is? It can be used to make one or two sets of clothes."

I already told you that you don’t need to buy it for me, so why are you still buying it secretly?

Also, this imported folding umbrella is really beautiful. It’s so small when it’s stored away, and it’s just right to put in a cloth bag. "

Looking at Zhou Xiaoying with a smile on her face, Li Duoyu instantly understood what was going on. She was indeed the most capable second sister-in-law in the family.

It’s true that one thing brings down another thing.

 His every move is fatal, and all of them hit the critical spot.

Zhu Xiuhua's face was as black as pig liver, and Li Yaoguo lowered his head when he saw that the fire was already burning, and was about to run away. Even the little fat man who was mopping the floor in the room sensed the danger, took his homework book out of the room, and ran away quickly. Go next door.

“Grandma, I’ll sleep with you tonight.”

 “Okay, dear grandson.”

The storm brewed for a while and finally exploded. Li Yaoguo suffered another disaster and had to listen to the sutra all night long.

At the same time, it also affected Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying, who were separated by a wall, but the two people on the bed were very happy.

Zhou Xiaoying looked sideways at Li Duoyu.

 “How do you know, I like this kind of fabric with a little more color.”

 “Aren’t you always wearing plain clothes?”

Zhou Xiaoying's eyes were like water, and she suddenly said: "Is that possible? I also like meat."

 After hearing this sentence, Li Duoyu could not bear it.

“Ah, what are you doing?” Zhou Xiaoying exclaimed.

“Sir, I will let you eat some meat tonight.”

"no."

The two were playing around on the bed for a while, and then they stopped. Zhou Xiaoying, whose face was red, suddenly said:

“Let me tell you something, you should recognize my colleague, Lin Shanshan.”

 Li Duoyu nodded:

“She used to play with us when she was little.”

 Zhou Xiaoying sighed:

"She has been very pitiful recently. Her husband doesn't make money and often beats her. When he came to class today, there was an obvious slap mark on his face. We don't know what to do."

Zhou Xiaoying aside, Li Duoyu almost forgot about Lin Shanshan, a very famous strong woman on Dandan Island.

It seems that during the time he went to the island country, Lin Shanshan's husband became more violent, beat her more frequently, and even cheated on a female widow from the next village. He was clamoring for a divorce and wanted to live with the mistress.

Lin Shanshan, who had been bullied for many years, finally resisted. She refused to agree to a divorce and wanted to sue her husband for bigamy.

 It will take twenty years for the results to be announced. There were numerous court sessions during this period.

 Forcibly forced himself to become the most knowledgeable person in the village. Later, he went to university to audit, and finally passed the lawyer's license exam and became the only lawyer in the village.

And the mistress from the next village who interfered with their marriage was also dragged down by Lin Shanshan, and finally gave up her husband and ran away with someone else.

Many people in the village said it was not worth it.



 Some people also say that her life is "hard".

 This is the local dialect here. It probably means that life is not very good, but you are very strong and you will survive in the end.

Finally, Lin Shanshan took her children to live in Rongcheng, where she worked in a law firm and lived a pretty good life.

Her husband ended up losing both his life and property, and lived alone in an old stone house. When he was sick, his children were unwilling to see him.

"Maybe her life is not good." Li Duoyu replied rudely. At this moment, his mind was not here at all and he was thinking about other things.

Their stone house has only one floor, a living room, a bedroom and a kitchen.

If a child is born in the future, the room will be too small, and we can't sleep in the same room like my second brother and the others when the child is so big.

Then what happiness is there?

Li Duoyu thought that if she could make money from raising kelp, she would build a two-story house.

the next day.

　　When Li Duoyu woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning, but Zhou Xiaoying was still at home without going to school.

 “Why didn’t you go to class today?”

 “It’s Sunday.”

"oh."

Ever since returning to 1983, Li Duoyu has been so eager to do things and make up for the regrets of the past that he has even forgotten the day of the week.

 After breakfast.

Li Duoyu, who had nothing to do for the time being, looked at Zhou Xiaoying and said:

“Both of us have nothing to do today, why don’t we go get some seafood to eat.”

 “Mom, you won’t let me go.”

"You can just watch from the shore. Besides, you should go out for a walk more often. This will be good for you and the child."

"Then when my mother-in-law finds out and talks about me, you have to help me block her."

"OK, no problem."

And when the little fat man with sharp ears heard that his uncle was going to catch seafood, he grinned with leaky teeth and said, "Uncle, can you take me with you too? I can carry a bucket for you."

 “Is your mother here?”

 “I’m not here, I went to help others mend their fishing nets.”

　　"Okay, you have to follow me, don't run around, you know."

"knew."

Since Lao Li and the others were on the tidal flat, Li Duoyu didn’t want to be gossiped about, so he planned to go to the side with more rocks where he could catch some sea urchins, snails and crabs.

Li Duoyu held a pair of fire tongs, Xiao Pangdun helped carry the iron bucket, and the three of them headed towards the seaside.

On the path to the seaside, Little Fatty was so happy that he started humming a song.

Back in 1983, Li Duoyu was so busy these days that he never took a good look at Dandan Island at this time.

Now that I take a closer look, I find that the overall layout of Xiasha Village has not changed much. There are still so many houses near the pier.

The largest buildings in the village are the supply and marketing cooperative and the stage, especially the stage, which was built by the commune in the 1960s. It is more than 400 square meters, three stories high, and has more than 300 seats.

 You can invite a theater troupe to sing in it.

 Can also play movies.

 It is a dating mecca for the generation that eats from a big pot.

The roads under your feet are almost all dirt, but mostly mixed with fine sand from the sea. You have to be very careful when riding on it. If you ride too fast and the tires slip, you may end up falling and chewing on the mud.

 At this time, the sanitary conditions were very poor. There were flies flying everywhere, dead fish were thrown directly into the ditch, and oyster shells were piled up in disorder. The area around the pier, in particular, was a fly-infested area.

 After walking along the seaside for more than ten minutes,

Li Duoyu and the others finally arrived at Badshui Bay, the most suitable place for fishing on Dandan Island.
