1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 438 Damn it, I’ve been putting up with you for a long time

“Old Chen, you are very strange. You don’t relieve yourself when you come to the toilet. Why do you keep looking at me? It’s not bifurcated urine or urinary retention. You need to check others to see if they have it.”

　　"You just had a split in your urine. I'm fine. When I was your age, a typhoon couldn't blow me back."

After Lao Chen finished speaking, he then asked: "I want to ask you something, who is the person eating with you later?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and put the thing back into his crotch. He subconsciously wanted to find a faucet to wash his hands, but found that there was no such thing in this era.

 “That guy is a slut.”

 Lao Chen frowned and said, "Seriously, why did that person come back with Xiaoyun?"

Li Duoyu smiled, Lao Chen was 100% a slave to his daughter, maybe it was because he was not good at it, the couple only had one daughter, so they loved her very much.

I heard that some time ago, in order to be closer to his daughter, Lao Chen wanted to open a small frying shop near Rongcheng University.

“I’m just walking with a man, and you’re so nervous. You can’t have this kind of mentality. Besides, Xiaoyun is not young anymore. She will get married sooner or later. You have to be mentally prepared.”

After all, the processing plant does not collect all kinds of fish. Fishermen bring all kinds of seafood from the sea, especially those trawlers. In one net, there may be more than ten kinds of marine fish.

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes at him: "I don't like hearing what you say. I'm very old. I'm only five years older than Xiaoyun."

Since it is the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, the tide level is very different. At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the tide has receded to the lowest position.

Li Duoyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Old Chen, didn't you like college students before? The one who came back with your daughter is also a college student and is studying medicine. Why don't you think about it?"

“No need, Director Liu, I’ll go back to the island first and bring the remaining cloves over later.”

Lao Chen looked at Li Duoyu and couldn't help but shake his head: "When I see you, I can't help but think of your afro, when you came to my shop to eat, and you often squatted there with my fire tongs to perm your hair. "

“If you had money, why would you be so stingy about ordering dishes? You wouldn’t even order lobster and grouper.”

“Old Chen, you have such a perverted vision. I am different from before. I am an advanced worker in the county, a village director, and I am often in newspapers.”

Processing plants generally only accept commercial fish. They will not accept miscellaneous fish, grouper and other more expensive fish.

 Lao Chen suddenly changed the subject and said: "Let me ask you something, is the young man brought by Director Liu really an international student?"

 Fortunately, this boy has a childhood sweetheart, otherwise he might have attacked his daughter.

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while and realized that he had indeed forgotten about this matter, but it was really possible. There really wasn't any hair-perm medicine back then.

 Lao Chen looked disgusted: "How can there be such an old college student? He looks as old as you."

“Excuse me, I’ll see you in the afternoon.”

With the deepening of the wharf and the addition of an aquatic product processing plant, Qingkou Wharf has become famous. Many fishing boats from other places choose to sell fish here.

“It was only two or three years ago, do you think it happened?”

Old Chen said hehey: "He looks quite polite. I see that you two are familiar with each other. Can you help me introduce him?"

 Lao Chen frowned and looked at Li Duoyu: "It feels the same as before."

Lao Chen was stunned for a moment. It seemed that this was really the case. Duoyu didn't seem to be that old, he was only five years older than Xiaoyun.

In the past, Qingkou Pier could not dock at this time, but since Secretary Chen and Director Liu took the lead in making the terminal deep-water, fishing boats can still dock even if there is a strong astronomical tide.

The dishes ordered by Li Duoyu and the others are indeed not expensive. They are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, such as fried squid with green pepper, braised hairtail, spicy stir-fried snails...

Li Duoyu, Chen Wenchao and Zhang Defa were sitting on the stone steps of Qingkou Pier, all three of them holding small bamboo branches used to pick teeth in their mouths.

After eating, when your teeth are really stuck, you usually just dig them out with your hands. If you really can't get them out, you can go find a bamboo broom and break off a small section of the thin bamboo branches on it to use it just right.

His afro was learned from a fashionable old lady in the town. He first heated the poker red, then put it in water to soak it. When it was almost hot, he used it to curl his hair.

After a group of people finished lunch, Factory Director Liu wanted to ask them to go to the factory to make tea and rest.

Old Chen squinted and said, "What are you doing to prepare yourself mentally? Xiaoyun is still studying, and maybe she has to take the postgraduate and doctoral exams, so why are you in such a hurry?"

“Damn, is it such an exaggeration? How could I forget? You couldn’t deliberately make it up to belittle my image.”

“Haven’t you heard that the richer you are, the stingier you are?”

“Of course there is a difference. I had no money before, but I have money now.”

 Li Duoyu nodded.

 “Old Chen, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It’s meaningless if you are too lenient. It’s time to learn to let go.”

Toothpicks were not yet popular in this era, and they would not be prepared for you in stir-fry shops.

 As the number of fishing boats increases, fishmongers who had been forced out of work by aquatic product processing plants began to collect fish again.

 Eating too much big fish and meat will make you tired, only home-cooked food will make you feel good.

 It turns out that this is Lao Chen's purpose. Li Duoyu shook his head and said in disgust: "Xiaoyun still wants to study for graduate school or Ph.D., why should she be in such a hurry?"

 About half past one.

 Li Duoyu declined.

 Lao Chen hummed, "If I had let her go, my daughter would have been abducted by street gangsters like you."

Li Duoyu sighed: "Some people just like to have double standards. When they see someone with an average family background, they will beat them up. When they see someone who is outstanding, they want to betray them. I am so outstanding, why don't you pay attention to me?"

 Lao Chen, who was slapped in the face, was a little embarrassed: "I'm not in a hurry. I have to pay more attention to such outstanding talents."

The tide has begun to rise. Every time the waves hit forward, a step will be submerged. Li Duoyu flicked the thin bamboo branches he used to pick his teeth into the sea.

“The water has risen, let’s go back to the island.”

 The three of them boarded the white fishing boat. The fishermen on the dock were no longer so surprised when they saw the boat, but they were still very envious.

A fishmonger looked at the fishing boat going away and sighed: "How much money do you have to make to buy a boat like this?"

“Why would you buy a boat like this? It’s not practical. If you really have that kind of money, you’d definitely buy a big tugboat.”

“You don’t understand this. If you buy this kind of boat, how can you catch fish? It must be like a Hong Kong TV series. If you take girls out to play on the sea, you have to make them wear those tight three-pointers.”

“Comrade Li Xiang, your thoughts are very dangerous.”

 “Wherever there is danger, this is called advancing with the times.”

Li Duoyu's fishing boat moves very slowly. If it goes back too early, it won't be able to dock until the tide rises.

Zhang Defa on the boat suddenly asked: "By the way, Duoyu, there is a class reunion tomorrow. When do you plan to go?"

 “Huh? Tomorrow?”

If Zhang Defa hadn't said anything, Li Duoyu would have really forgotten that Chen Ziyi had actually sent him a letter.

 The fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month.

classmate reunion.

Seeing Li Duoyu's surprised expression, Zhang Defa said doubtfully: "Is it possible that you didn't receive it? Zi Yi should also have sent you a letter."

"received."

“You almost forgot about this if you didn’t remind me. Aren’t we classmates in elementary school? It’s none of your business that my junior high school classmates are having a reunion.”

 “Crap, I’ve been putting up with you for a long time.”

 Zhang De looked at Li Duoyu with resentment: "You have been absent from school for three days and played outside all day. Do you know how many people are in our class and what their names are?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly. To be honest, if he hadn't seen Chen Ziyi and the others last time, he would have probably forgotten all the names of his classmates.

If you really attend the class reunion, it will probably be really embarrassing. By then, you probably won’t be able to name most of them. Seeing Zhang Defa's angry look, Li Duoyu felt that he was most likely his junior high school classmate.

“I was joking with you, but I actually took it seriously. We are good brothers, how could I forget.”

“What a ghost, you often bully and tease me, you must have forgotten it.”

"How is it possible? Am I that kind of person? If I remember correctly, I was very generous during the three years of junior high school."

“You are so righteous as hell. Back then, you almost sold us all in order to chase the class beauty. Also, our junior high school lasted for four years, not three years.”

“Comrade Defa, let the past go by. I am now a good family man with a wife and children, so I don’t need to keep talking about my heroic deeds back then.”

 Chen Wenchao on the side smiled and suddenly felt very sad, because his parents passed away early and he didn't even finish elementary school, let alone junior high school.

Zhang Defa was also speechless. Li Duoyu's face was probably thicker than the toilet wall, so he really couldn't talk to him.

"Are you going tomorrow? If so, I will go with you."

“I have to go back and discuss this matter with Xiaoying, and I’ll tell you later.”

Zhang Defa glanced with disgust: "Now that I know I'm scared, are you afraid that Xiaoying will turn over your old score?"

"How is it possible? What I call respecting the other person, you, who don't even have a partner, won't understand."

"cut."

 “Stop talking, do you have any cigarettes? Give me one.”

Li Duoyu took out a pack of Chengfeng cigarettes from his coat pocket and threw it to him.

“How are you doing this? You can’t even smoke.”

Zhang Defa took a puff of his cigarette: "Without a job, there is no income. At my age, I still don't have the nerve to ask for money from my family. I still have some savings from being a village doctor, so I think I can save a little."

 “Would you like me to lend you some?”

"No matter who I ask to borrow money, I won't ask you to borrow money. If Xiaorong finds out, where will I put my face?"

 Zhang Defa took a breath and asked, "Do you have a good relationship with that Chen Xiaoyun?"

 Li Duoyu nodded.

“Yes, I have watched her grow up, so she can be considered my little sister.”

Zhang Defa's face turned dark. He felt that he was not in the hands of a woman, but in the hands of Li Duoyu.

 The two women he likes are both his younger sisters.

"introduce."

Li Duoyu said disgustedly: "You are too old."

"Age is not a problem. If it is based on grade, I would still call her senior sister."

 “Fuck, you are so shameless.”

“You are shameless, you don’t know how to write a love letter, yet you asked Zhou Xiaoying to write it for you, and finally married Zhou Xiaoying.”

 “Your uncle, how do you know that?”

 “It’s okay for the whole class to know.”

At this moment, Li Duoyu suddenly didn’t want to go to this class reunion.

 Less than twenty minutes.

 The fishing boat returned to Dandan Island Pier, and the tide was just high enough for his fishing boat to dock.

 The pier was full of his cloves, more than two hundred baskets in total. Dad and his second brother were watching from the other side of the pier.

Mr. Mi, who had been catching fish all day, heard the whistle and just wanted to get up to see whose fishing boat was back.

 As soon as I stood up, I immediately felt dizzy and almost fell down. Recently, as my stomach pain became more and more painful, my body seemed to be having problems as well, and I got tired very easily.

 He was also hesitating whether to go to the health center in the town to see what was going on.

　　After seeing Li Duoyu’s fishing boat coming back, Old Man Mi waved to him and was about to ask him how much money the clove fish made in total.

What he didn't expect was that village doctor Zhang Defa got off the Li Duoyu boat. After seeing him, Old Man Mi felt a little excited for a moment.

 “Defa, you are back.”

“Uncle Mi, long time no see. Why do I feel like you’ve lost weight again?”

Old man Mi said with a bitter look on his face: "Do you have any painkillers at your health station? Give me some."

 Zhang Defa frowned and said, "Uncle Mi, it's been so long, haven't you gone to the hospital yet?"

"It's just an ordinary stomachache, and it's not a serious illness. If you go to the hospital, you'll be asked to check a lot of things. No matter how much money you spend, it's not enough. And the hospitalization fee is ten yuan a day, and three hundred a month. Where? I can afford to be sick.”

 Zhang Defa saw that he had lost a lot of weight, and his whole face felt like it was about to collapse: "Follow me to the health station."

 After arriving at the health station, Zhang Defa immediately took out his stethoscope and listened.

 Following that, he pressed his abdomen again.

 “It hurts a lot here.”

Looking at the skinny Lao Mi, Zhang Defa asked: "How many pounds have you lost recently?"

 “Almost eight jins or more.”

 “What color is the stool?”

Old man Mi frowned and said, "Why do you ask so many questions this time?"

 “Don’t interrupt, tell me what color the **** is.”

 “It’s normal.”

 Zhang Defa didn't believe it and said directly: "Is it black and a little sticky?"

Lao Mi smiled bitterly and said: "Sure enough, after I went to college, I became very good at it. I can even guess the color of my stool."

After hearing this, Zhang Defa regretted very much that he was not tough enough and did not take old Mira to the hospital as soon as possible.

“Next Monday, go to the best hospital immediately, take a X-ray, and then go see this doctor. He is very authoritative about this disease.”

“It’s okay, don’t be so nervous, just give me some painkillers as before.”

Zhang Defa couldn't help but scolded: "Can you be kind to yourself? Why do you make so much money? You can't bear to spend a penny."

 Old man Mi sighed.

Zhang Defa's words suddenly touched his sore spot. On the surface, he seemed to be very prosperous. All his children settled in Rongcheng and became city dwellers.

But in fact, his life was not good. After his children got married, the family began to change. He really envied the old people in the village who could take care of their children.

Unlike him, if he wants to see a grandson, he has to make a special trip to the city and look at his daughter-in-law’s face.

There is really no hope for living this kind of life, so it is better to be kind to yourself and go to the square with others to play four-color cards in the future.

 “Okay, I’ll go to the hospital to check.”

“Hurry up, you know, your body is your own. If you really get sick, your child may have to come back to take care of you.”
