1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 285 Two Letters

 The fishmongers and fishermen were dumbfounded after seeing a whole cage full of lobsters.

The lobster thing.

　　It is a rare thing to come by, but I didn’t expect that Li Duoyu caught so many fish in one go, and there was even a very big one.

 “More fish, catch that big lobster and let us see the world.”

 “Yeah, let’s see how big it is.”

Seeing all the villagers gathered around, with curious and envious expressions on their faces, Li Duoyu suddenly understood why the fisherman must circle the village twice before going home after catching a big fish.

Li Duoyu pulled the big flower dragon out of the cage.

 The Great Flower Dragon is still very energetic, its tail keeps beating and making snapping sounds.

 Li Duoyu made a simple demonstration and put the big flower dragon on his arm.

 The entire body of the shrimp is much longer than his forearm, and its tentacles are more than sixty centimeters long.

 When the fishermen saw this big shrimp, they all made a sound of surprise.

 “Grass, this shrimp is really big.”

“Duoyu, your hands are too thin, you should compare them with your feet.”

 After seeing the prawn, Mr. Mi’s expression kept changing, and he casually set a price.

“There are many fish, but these shrimps, can you sell them for a hundred?”

Li Duoyu refused: "I won't sell this one. I plan to keep it for myself during the New Year."

 Old man Mi thought that his price was too low. After struggling for a while, he continued to bid: "Then I will add a little more, one hundred and two, I really can't go any more."

Li Duoyu suddenly said seriously: "Omi, if I really want to sell it, it won't be your turn to buy it. It will have been sold to Xinyuan Company a long time ago. But if you really want to buy it, the price is three hundred, and I can sell it directly." for you."

After hearing the price, Mr. Mi was dumbfounded on the spot: "This price is unaffordable. How about selling me other lobsters for one pound per pound?"

“I’ll sell these in two days.”

Old man Mi had a dark face: "No, everyone in the village has been corrupted by you. They hoard good things and don't sell them. Instead, you sell us some trash fish."

 Other fishermen retorted:

"Old Mi, you can't say that. What does it mean to be a bad teacher? The village director is obviously trying to make us money, okay?"

“We used to sell it to you early, and we could earn hundreds of dollars for a whole month. If we stock fish with the village director, we can earn at least two to three hundred yuan.”

“That’s right, if it weren’t for the village director, we would have been deceived by profiteers like you.”

 Old man Mi sighed, feeling that this business was getting harder and harder to do.

Zhao Erniu on the side was also stunned when he saw the big lobster.

“Brother, where did you catch these lobsters when there are so many fish?”

 “Ask me how I know.”

“Brother, do you remember which direction Brother Yu and Xiao Chao went to the sea today?”

“There are so many ships, how can I remember them?”

Zhao Erniu sighed with emotion: "I just think that Brother Yu is too powerful and he is too familiar with this sea area."

"He was the one who caught the big bass last year. Not only does he know how to get to Dongjia Reef, but he is also more familiar with it than the two of us. I heard that he is even familiar with the outer sea. Brother Yu took him to where Li Shuguang fished, and now he is fishing Having a lobster nest makes me feel like a monster.”

Zhao Dahai knocked him on the head: "Why are you talking? Can there be such a kind-hearted monster? I think Brother Yu is a god."

 “That’s right, gods.”

 With everyone's envious eyes, Li Duoyu borrowed a cart and transported the entire cage to the eel factory.

 Pour the lobsters in the ground cage into a breeding pond.

After the flower dragon arrived in the pond, it slapped its tail and the entire water in the pond was stirred up.

The swimming crabs that were originally in the pond were so frightened that they all lay down on the sand after seeing this big flower dragon.

 Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!

The second sister-in-law who rushed over happened to see Li Duoyu pouring lobsters, staring at the big flower dragon with a smile on his face:

“There are so many fish. Where did so many lobsters come from? That lobster is so big. How much did you spend to buy it?”

“I didn’t buy it, we caught it today.” Chen Wenchao said.

After hearing this, Zhu Xiuhua was stunned on the spot, and then said to Chen Wenchao: "You have made up for it. You killed so many eels yesterday, and today you have earned money for many fish."

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly felt awkward. Chen Wenchao also lowered his head.

 Li Yaoguo is also very helpless. He really has no way to deal with his wife. His emotional intelligence is too low and his words are always thorny.

Li Yaoguo said: "Duoyu, when you were away in the afternoon, someone from the town committee sent someone to inform you that you should go to the town for a meeting tomorrow, saying that there are important things to inform."

The second sister-in-law complained: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, what else can I announce? There is nothing more important than the Chinese New Year."

“Duoyu, you have so many lobsters. Unlike Xiaochao, we don’t get any dividends. Can you give us one or two during the Chinese New Year?”

 Li Yaoguo slapped his forehead.

"Stop talking, okay? I feel like your face will be lost."

When Li Yaoguo said this, Zhu Xiuhua retorted on the spot: "Hey, Li Yaoguo, tell me clearly, how can I embarrass you?"

Seeing that the two of them were arguing again. Li Duoyu rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran away quickly, but Chen Wenchao smiled and said: "Brother Yu, the lobster is here. I'm afraid someone will steal it, so I'll guard it here."

As soon as Chen Wenchao finished speaking, Zhu Xiuhua pointed the finger at him: "Xiao Chao, do you mean to say that I will steal the lobsters here?"

 Early the next morning.

The director of the women’s office took a loudspeaker and shouted: “Every household needs to be cleaned.”

 Some villagers shouted to her.

“You’re good at cleaning. Can you give me a quota? Can you give us a third child?”

The female director said with a dark face: "Your family is so poor and you still want to have a baby. If you have another baby, can you afford it?"

“As long as I have a boy, I will work hard to make money by fishing.”

The director of women's affairs said with a dark face: "Both boys and girls are born the same. We have been promoting it for so many years. Why are we still so rigid?"

 “How do you, a woman, know anything about carrying on the family line?”

"Anyway, don't give birth to me, otherwise I will definitely bring people to arrest you when the time comes."

 It’s hard to evaluate Li Duoyu after seeing this scene. If he is not allowed to live now, he will not be able to live in the future.

 Era is like a circle.

 Plans can never keep up with changes.

When Li Duoyu came to the pier, he found his mother-in-law taking two letters from the postman.

  Turning around, I happened to see him.

Chen Huiying said with excitement: "The little brother just said that one letter was sent back by Xiaorong, and the other one was sent back by your elder brother. Please help me see what is written in the letter."

 After Li Duoyu took the envelope, he found that the younger sister did not come back by telegram this time, but by sending a letter.

 But when Li Duoyu saw the envelope, he was attracted by the red zodiac stamp on the envelope.

Chen Huiying urged: "What do you think the stamp is for? Open it quickly and see what Xiaorong said in the letter."

 After Li Duoyu opened it, he found a letter inside. After opening the letter, there were five big unity cards inside.

Xiaorong said: "The hospital is very busy this year. She is a resident doctor and has to be on duty. She cannot come back on New Year's Eve and may not be able to come back until Lantern Festival."

“Xiao Rong also said, these thirty yuan are for you to buy two new clothes, so you don’t have to wear old clothes.”

 Chen Huiying’s eyes were slightly red: “This child is still doing internship and her salary is not very long. She has saved money to send it to us. When she comes back, I will definitely scold her.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's too late to hurt you, but you are still willing to scold her."

Chen Huiying rolled her eyes at him, and then asked: "Look at your brother's letter. What's written in it?"

Li Duoyu opened the envelope. The eldest brother was a reticent person and could only write two lines on a large piece of paper.

“My eldest brother said that he and his sister-in-law have already obtained the certificates and will take my sister-in-law and Xiao Min home to celebrate the New Year this year.”

 “Ah, really, you didn’t lie to me.”

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Mom, why do you have so little trust in me? When did I ever lie to you?"

“Before, when I was not good, I would lie to me every day.”

 Chen Huiying was a little disbelieving and her eyes were red: "I'll tell your dad, by the way, how old is Xiao Min?"

 “Almost fourteen years old.”

“She must have been in junior high school. You said it’s her first time to come to our house. As an elder, what should we give her?”

“I don’t understand this. Ask Xiaoying. She is a teacher and understands children better.”

After speaking, Li Duoyu glanced at the envelope with the monkey ticket on it: "Mom, please give me Xiaorong's envelope."

 “Why do you want an envelope?”

 “I collect stamps.”

 Chen Huiying glanced at the envelopes, feeling a little reluctant to part with them, and then gave both envelopes directly to Lao Si.

 “Xiao Rong’s one is fine, but big brother doesn’t want this one.”

“Your brother’s stamp looks better, why don’t you want it?”

Li Duoyu said with disdain: "This kind of local landscape stamps are worthless and have no collection value."

Chen Huiying said angrily: "How come you are so picky when you receive a stamp?"

As the passenger ship's whistle sounded, Chen Huiying shouted: "If you want to have a meeting, go quickly, the ship is leaving soon."

 “Mom, I’m leaving.”

 “If nothing happens, come back early to see if you know.”

"knew."

 On the passenger ship, Li Duoyu took out the envelope, looked at the stamp in his hand, and touched it twice.

　　It is exactly as mentioned on the Internet, it has a bit of a rough feel.
