1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 5 The ship ran aground

“Among you brothers, you were the one who liked to wet the bed the most when you were a child.”

“No way, I don’t remember it at all.”

“Huh, once you sat on my head to watch a show and even peed all over me.”

Chen Huiying saw the father and son chatting away, with a smile on her face.

　　It seems like I have gone back to 22 years ago, when Li Duoyu was born. Although life was difficult, the whole family was very happy, unlike now, when every day is full of excitement.

 For Chen Huiying, money is very important, but family harmony must come first.

While she was clearing away the dishes, there was a sudden commotion in the square, and a neighbor shouted:

 “Something happened, something big happened.”

 “The boats are all back.”

 After hearing the noise.

Li Duoyu came to the courtyard and saw many villagers rushing towards the dock, and he had a vague premonition in his heart.

 “Dad, let me go and take a look.”

 Lao Li, who drank half a kilogram of Maotai, was a little tipsy:

 “Go on, this wine is too strong, I’m going to lie down for a while.”

 After arriving at the dock, Li Duoyu found that many villagers had gathered, and all the fishing boats that had gone out to sea to "carry out goods" had also turned back.

“Old Chen, what happened?”

Li Duoyu stepped forward and asked: "Didn't we go out to sea to take goods? How come all the ships came back?"

 After the ship’s boss, Lao Chen, **** the mooring rope, he complained: “I’m really unlucky today. I didn’t see any big ships. They were all anti-smuggling ships with loud horns.”

 “Have you seen Agui’s boat?”

“There are so many ships. After discovering the anti-smuggling ship, everyone ran away. I don’t know where he went.”

Li Duoyu looked around at the pier, but did not find Agui's fishing boat, which made him a little worried. This guy might have encountered an anti-smuggling boat and jumped into the sea in fear.

 At this time.

 A young woman with short hair and a grimace looked at Li Duoyu in surprise.

“Duoyu, why are you here? Didn’t Agui go to sea with you?”

 After seeing this young woman.

Li Duoyu's emotions rose instantly, and his face dropped on the spot. Although it was all from his past life, to him, it all happened real.

This young woman is Agui's wife, her name is Zhang Meiying.

 In his previous life, because he was falsely accused and reported by this woman, he was eventually treated as a model and served five years in prison.

Facing such a crazy and completely unreasonable woman, Li Duoyu decided to stay away from her and did not want to have anything to do with her.

“I have something to do today, and Agui is going with someone else.”

 “In the past, you two didn’t always go together.”

 “I won’t take the goods now.”

Zhang Meiying was a little surprised. Li Duoyu, who clamored to make a lot of money by selling goods every day, seemed to be a different person today.

 Li Duoyu waited at the pier for more than two hours.

Almost all the fishing boats that went out to Dandan Island have returned, but Agui’s small sailing boat has still not been seen.

This made him a little uneasy.

When he looked at Zhang Meiying not far away, he happened to find her staring at him, her face as cold as ice, as if she was blaming Li Duoyu for not going to sea with Agui.

 Until one o'clock at midnight.

Li Duoyu stopped to hear the sound of the diesel engine "chugging", and a crooked sailboat slowly sailed into the island's haven.

 After seeing clearly the people on the boat.

The stone hanging in Li Duoyu's heart was finally put down, and Zhang Meiying's iceberg face finally became a little clearer.

 Agui secured the fishing boat at the pier.

Finding that all the fishing boats on the island had returned, he couldn't help but cursed at Xiao Hei who was going out to sea with him:

“Damn it, I brought you out to make money. It’s really bad luck for eight lifetimes. Not to mention I haven’t made any money, I still have to repair the boat.”

“If you don’t know how to sail, tell me earlier. Why don’t you pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and cause a hole in my boat?”

It turns out that after Li Duoyu rejected Agui, he asked Xiao Hei to go out to sea to carry goods with him. As a result, Xiao Hei was traveling for the first time and was not familiar with the sea route. He ran aground on the rocks not far after going out to sea.

The boat ran aground directly, and the two of them waited until the tide came in before they drove the boat back. After Agui finished scolding Xiao Hei.

Looking at Li Duoyu on the dock, he complained again and again.

“Brother, if you go to sea with me tonight, you won’t encounter such bad luck.”

 And Agui had just finished complaining.

A ship boss happened to pass by and said to Agui:

"Agui, you have to thank Xiao Hei tonight. If he hadn't driven the boat to the rocks, you might have been the first to hit the anti-smuggling boat if you were running so fast."

 Agui was stunned for a moment.

“No way, is there really an anti-smuggling team today?”

The boss of the ship snorted coldly: "There is no smuggling ship, why are we back so early? We have already arrived in town to unload the cargo. Today, Boss Lu and Lao Zhang were arrested, and the ship was also impounded. I don't know how long the sentence will be." ”

Agui blinked his eyes, then clasped his hands and bowed in the direction of the temple on the island: "Blessing, blessing, thank Mazu for blessing."

 Then he looked at Li Duoyu with a smile on his face.

“I didn’t expect your uncle’s information to be so well-informed. It’s actually true.”

Agui came up to him with a smile on his face and put his hand on Li Duoyu’s shoulder:

“Your uncle must have a good relationship with the anti-smuggling team. When will he introduce me to you? By the way, did your uncle tell me when the anti-smuggling team will come out next time?”

Li Duoyu pushed Agui's hand away, frowned and said:

“My uncle said that starting from today, the anti-smuggling team will be serious and will arrest no one until no one takes the goods.”

 “Brother, you’re not kidding me.”

 “Do you think I’m joking with you?”

Li Duoyu felt that the relationship between the two was almost over. Because of what happened in his previous life, he really didn't want to deal with this family anymore.

　Once a person becomes rich.

 Many things will begin to change qualitatively.

The Agui in front of me is no longer the young man he played with back then.

 And there was that moment just now.

Li Duoyu felt that if something happened to Agui, his wife might really complain that she didn't go to sea with him, and might report him again.

 For Li Duoyu.

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua is just making trouble, but she has a good heart. After all, dogs that can bark usually don't bite very much.

 Ke Agui’s wife can only be called ruthless.

However, after this night's turmoil, the fishermen on Dandan Island did not take tonight's surprise inspection by the anti-smuggling ship seriously.

 Still waiting for the new big ship.

Li Duoyu happened to hear their chat when he passed two boat bosses who were getting off the boat to smoke.

“I heard that you can get more things by exchanging cultural relics, which are much more valuable than Yuan Datou.”

"real or fake?"

“Not long ago, I heard that someone exchanged a Buddha head for an imported car.”

"It's so valuable. If it is really like this, I will also go to the mainland to collect some cultural relics."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh.

 In the early 1980s, most people did not understand the use of cultural relics. Everyone was afraid of poverty and too much wanted to live the life of a rich person.

 For them.

 A Buddha's head can be exchanged for a car, it's like pie in the sky.

 But who would have thought that decades later, hundreds of cars might not be able to replace this Buddha head.

If I remember correctly, starting today, the country has dispatched a special anti-smuggling team to Rongcheng, preparing to fight a protracted war to stem this skewed trend.

By almost 1984, the channel of open shipping at sea will be completely suppressed.

 At that time, the price of Yuan Datou will also plummet.

Li Duoyu felt that the right thing to do would be to find a time to get rid of the more than 100 Yuan Datou in his possession first.
