1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 217 Miaomiao is going to live on the island

When Li Duoyu took the bus back to Qingkou Pier, he found that Li Qingguang had moved the stove and barbecue grill to his sampan boat.

And he was sitting on the stone steps of the pier, his hands still counting, with a frown on his face.

 Deduct the cost of ten yuan.

 There are only seven and six dollars left, which need to be divided between two people, that is, divided by two.

 He will not eliminate it directly at once, but can only calculate it in pieces.

 Six divided by two equals three.

 Seven dollars and six minus six dollars equals one dollar and six, and then divided by two is eight cents, which is three eight cents.

 Li Qingguang calculated it several times.

 When he saw his cousin coming back, he gave Li Duoyu 13.8 yuan on the spot.

 “Brother, these are oyster money, plus what I earned today.”

 “You give me so much, do you still make money?”

 “I also made three and eight dollars.”

Li Duoyu was a little speechless: "That's not how the profit is calculated. Boat fares, bus fares, lunch money, and charcoal money have to be deducted."

Li Qingguang blinked, his brain was a little down. If those were really deducted, he didn't seem to have made a few cents.

 It costs fifty cents just to take the bus back and forth.

 Lunch also cost almost fifty cents.

The boat is still owned by Brother Duoyu. If Brother Duoyu hadn't secretly stuffed a handful of cigarettes, if he had used a tractor to transport it, he would have lost money today.

“How much is the boat fare and cigarettes? I’ll split it in half with you.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I will pay for this. If you divide it any more, you will lose money."

Li Qingguang had a sad face. He found that business was not as easy as he thought. No wonder there were so many people pushing carts and driving ox carts on the way to the fair.

Seeing that Li Qingguang was a little depressed.

 Li Duoyu patted his shoulder and comforted:

“I made money the first time I set up a stall, which is pretty good. When Agui and I first started doing it, we lost a lot of money.”

Li Qingguang asked curiously: "Really? How did you lose money?"

“Same as you, the business is too good, but I made a miscalculation.”

“Brother, you can also make a mistake in your calculations. Then how much money have you lost?”

“We were selling smuggled goods, so we lost a lot, about thirty yuan.”

 “That’s a lot of money.”

Li Duoyu nodded, he would not tell Li Qingguang that the real reason why they lost money was that after making money, they spent it all on the dance hall girls.

After Li Qingguang heard this, his confidence instantly increased, and he grinned and said: "Then next time the town holds an oyster promotion meeting for you, I will come to help."

"No problem. When the time comes, you can come over and help bake the oysters. You can also shout jingles. I'm going to ask your brother Yao Guo to collect the money."

“Brother, you obviously don’t trust me.”

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Next month, remember to participate in the literacy class. Do you know? By then, your sister-in-law may be your teacher."

"No way."

 Li Qingguang broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

 “Why are you so afraid of her?”

Li Qingguang smiled bitterly and said: "She is your wife, of course you are not afraid of her. Ask the students she has taught who are not afraid of her."

“Is it that scary? I think your sister-in-law is quite gentle.”

Li Qingguang said with a dark face: "She will only be gentle to you, okay?"

 “That’s it, if you don’t tell me, I still don’t know.”

 Li Duoyu chuckled.

Li Qingguang couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth after suddenly taking a bite of dog food.

 But just when Li Duoyu was about to sail back to the island, a farm four-wheeler came to the dock.

 Following. The master who drove the agricultural vehicle hurriedly ran over when he saw that Li Duoyu was about to leave by boat.

 “There are many fish, wait a minute.”

“It’s me, Ou Wusheng from Dazhu Village.”

Li Duoyu didn’t expect to meet Ou Wusheng from Dazhu Village here. No wonder the agricultural four-wheeled vehicle looked familiar.

 “Brother, long time no see.”

“How did you get to Qingkou Pier?”

Ou Wusheng replied: "There happened to be a customer who ordered a batch of moso bamboo and asked me to transport it to the dock."

 Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It seems that we are going to make a lot of money again."

“Wherever I go, I can earn some transportation fees.” After Ou Wusheng finished speaking, he suddenly hesitated, as if he had something to say but couldn’t.

Li Duoyu saw this and asked, "Brother Ou, you ran over to me, maybe it wasn't just to say hello."

Ou Wusheng struggled for a while and said, "Duoyu, can I ask you something? When you were at my house last year, could you please consider what I told you?"

Li Duoyu frowned. He had really forgotten what happened last year: "I've been too busy this year. I forgot something."

“It’s about being Miaomiao’s godfather.”

"ah."

Li Duoyu was startled: "Brother Ou, I thought you were just joking, you couldn't be serious."

Ou Wusheng sighed helplessly: "Actually, I don't want to trouble you. It's just that Miaomiao has not been in good health recently. She has been coughing. She has been to the hospital several times but nothing has been done."

“Some time ago, we went to the gentleman who told us our fortune. He said it would be best to name the person who named her as her godfather, and let her live in his godfather’s house for a while.”

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, these fortune tellers really find things for people to do.

 “Is Miaomiao not in good health?”

Ou Wusheng nodded and said: "Before he turned one, he was fine. But since then, he has had fevers and colds from time to time. This time, he has been coughing continuously for more than two months."

 After hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but frowned.

 “Have you tried Chinese medicine?”

Ou Wusheng nodded and said: "I tried it and took Chinese medicine for more than a month, but it has no effect at all."

 After the birth of a human cub, the immunity from the mother can generally last for about six months.

 After six months, the child’s resistance will slowly weaken and the child will establish its own immune system.

 For some human cubs with poor health, they are very susceptible to colds and illnesses between the ages of one and three years old.

At that time, his grandson was also a cough specialist. He went to the hospital every day, took a lot of medicine, and checked for various allergens, but in the end he still couldn't be cured.

Later, after listening to Li Xiaorong’s suggestion that it might be due to the environment, Zhou Xiaoying took her children back to the island to live for more than two months, and her cough symptoms were significantly relieved.

 Being a godfather.

It doesn't matter to Li Duoyu. Having an extra goddaughter might prevent Xiao Tutu from extubating him when he gets old.

 If Miaomiao wants to live on the island.

 Accommodation is a big problem.

 There is no vacancy in their house.

 After the reform and opening up,

 Many people in the village are separating their families, and there are almost no vacant houses in the whole village. To some exaggeration, even the pigsty has been converted into a house.

 At the village committee, there are still two rooms used for entertaining. The accommodation conditions are not very good, and rent must be paid.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Duoyu said seriously: "Brother Ou, I will go back and discuss this matter with my family, but our family is quite small and I'm afraid there is no place for you to live. You may have to live in the village committee guest house. "

Ou Wusheng was a little excited. Li Duoyu thought about the accommodation conditions, so he decided to let them go to the island.

“It’s okay, we are not picky about the accommodation environment, we can also clean it ourselves.”

"Okay, I'll go back first. If my family agrees, I will write to you. Then you can take your things and come to the island to find me."

 “Okay, thank you very much.”

A lot of things happened during the summer vacation this year, plus we had to bring the mythical beasts with us, so it was particularly difficult to update. I hope you understand, but school is about to start, so there should be more updates by then.
