1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 The sorority party ended successfully.

●This time, through Chairman Ou’s introduction, the organization has attracted many projects and investments, and several Hong Kong Island enterprises have decided to build factories in Fujian Province.

 Li Duoyu not only purchased a lot of equipment, but also directly reached a consensus on cooperation with Chairman Ou.

 The main cooperation is in the field of dry goods. We can provide him with some better dried oysters, isinglass, dried shrimps and dried oysters.

Zhang Sanming has also been having a heated relationship with a breeding expert from an overseas province in the past two days, and he travels with him almost every day.

It is true that overseas provinces have eel farming technology, but there are not many people who know this technology, but it was such a coincidence that he just happened to come across it.

And that man, like Zhang Sanming, was all in suits and leather shoes. At first glance, he looked like he rarely worked in the pond.

If it were Li Duoyu, he would definitely be more wary of this kind of person, feeling that this person is either selling feed or selling fake medicine.

After the sorority, President Ou also led the team to visit Hong Kong Island.

 Wandered around Central, visited Victoria Harbor, climbed Phoenix Mountain, and also took a look at the Kowloon Walled City from a distance.

This is a no-no-no zone, a place where police officers dare not enter. Many dark Hong Kong movies are based on this.

 For locals, this place is naturally not very good, but for people who sneak into Hong Kong Island and have nowhere to go, this is a good place to stay.

In addition, we also followed the leader to visit the electrical appliance market in Hong Kong Island.

Li Duoyu took a fancy to a video recorder from an island country at a glance. There happened to be a cassette on the ship, and he really wanted to buy it.

Since I just borrowed so much money from the organization, it really doesn’t make sense to spend so much money on such an expensive thing, so I didn’t buy it and went directly to the town to buy smuggled goods.

 I didn’t buy a video recorder, but Li Duoyu bought a lot of video cassettes, including "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Shanghai Bund", and "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea".

 After the sightseeing tour, the organization gave everyone two days of private time.

Li Duoyu took Zhou Xiaoying to the Kowloon Tong area. Although he didn’t know much about Hong Kong Island, this place has always been a wealthy area.

The houses here are not very high, and many of them look just like the private villas they built there in their previous lives. They are independent small bungalows.

 Many of them have courtyards. Li Duoyu bought at least two packs of cigarettes from a roadside grocery store and asked the boss about them.

“Boss, when mainlanders come to Kowloon Tong, which area do they usually live in?”

 “In which year did you come?”

 “About fifteen years ago.”

The boss waved his hand and said: "That's impossible. People who came here fifteen years ago and can't live here must at least come in the 1950s and do very well to be able to live here."

“I suggest you go to Yuen Long and Sai Kung to look for them. It’s more likely.”

"thank you."

 Li Duoyu did not give up. He contacted several grocery store owners and got almost the same answers.

After searching for a day, the two people left here a little disappointed without asking anything.

 Sitting on the double-decker car, intending to return to North Point, Zhou Xiaoying was not in the mood to see the scenery along the way because she could not find any relatives.

Li Duoyu comforted him: "Next, President Ou and I will have business cooperation. When the time comes, he will have a lot of younger brothers. When the time comes, let him help with the search. If that doesn't work, let's spend some money and publish the search directly. People make things happen.”

 “Wouldn’t that be expensive?”

Li Duoyu said directly and disgustingly: "As long as it can make Comrade Xiaoying happy, I am willing to pay no matter how expensive the money is."

 Zhou Xiaoying glared.

 “If it’s really too expensive, don’t get it.”

When they returned to North Point, the two of them were tired and hungry after walking all day, so they just found a shop on the street.

After entering the store, Li Duoyu immediately said: "Boss, please bring two portions of abalone rice and two portions of soup."

 I didn’t think about it, just when the food was served.

The owner of this store is particularly enthusiastic. He is a young man in his early thirties, wearing glasses and a little chubby.

“Judging from your accent, you must be new to Hong Kong Island.”

Li Duoyu said curiously:

 “You can hear it all.”

The young man smiled and said, "That's for sure. The accents don't even resemble those of the people who just came here. From your accent, it sounds like you're from Fujian Province."

 “That’s right.”

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "We are from Dandan Island in Rongcheng, Fujian Province."

 “Oh, Dandan Island.”

 When the young man heard the name of this place, he frowned slightly, and then he seemed to think of something and couldn't help but feel happy.

He asked an old lady who was washing vegetables at the door of the store: "Nai, have you always said that you wanted to go to Dandan Island?"

The grandma washing vegetables at the door seemed to be a little deaf and didn't hear him at all. The young man came directly to her ear and said:

“In our store, there are two customers from the mainland of Dandan Island.”

The old lady waved her hand and said disgustedly, "I know, I'm not so deaf that I can't hear. If you speak so loudly, you will really make me deaf."

"What did you say."

“There are customers from Dandan Island in our store.”

After hearing these three words clearly, the old lady's expression suddenly became tense and she asked, "Who is from Dandan Island?"

 “These are these two people.”

When Li Duoyu saw this grandma, he didn't know why, but he always felt that she was somewhat similar to Zhou Xiaoying.

After seeing her, Zhou Xiaoying was inexplicably nervous. She grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands and her breathing became rapid. She didn't know why, but she felt this way.

The old lady asked: "Are you really from Rongcheng Dandan Island?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said: "Yes."

“Then do you know a person named Zhou Shiqing? He went there to jump in the queue more than 20 years ago.”

 When he heard this, Zhou Xiaoying's eyes instantly turned red. She quickly took out a black and white photo from a brown envelope in her bag and carefully handed it to the old lady.

 “You kid, why are your eyes so red?”

But when the old lady took the photo and saw the people in the photo, her hands holding the photo were shaking.

She stretched out her wrinkled hand and gently touched one of the people in the photo. At this moment, she burst into tears.

 “This person is the third child in my family.”

“How did you get this photo? How is Shiqing doing now?”

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying already knew the identity of the old man. Unexpectedly, he searched around and found that his relative was next to the hotel where he was staying.

 Zhou Xiaoying choked and her lips trembled: "I am Zhou Shiqing's daughter, and my name is Zhou Xiaoying."

The old lady said anxiously: "Speak louder. I am old and hard of hearing, so I can't hear clearly."

The shop owner was also stunned at this moment. He never imagined that the guest who occasionally came to his shop for dinner would actually be the third uncle's daughter.

The third uncle has always been a concern of the old lady. She has been in Hong Kong Island for more than ten years. The old lady misses the third uncle the most and resents the third uncle the most.

 Because I clearly left my third uncle’s contact information, but they have been in Hong Kong Island for more than ten years and have never received a letter.

 “Milk, she is the third uncle’s daughter.”

 The old lady was very surprised when she heard this. Her wrinkled face instantly relaxed, and her face was filled with smiles.

"When I saw you, I felt that you looked a lot like Shiqing." After the old lady finished speaking, she looked around and said, "You are the only one here, isn't your father here?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying suddenly didn't know how to answer. After so many years, she had let go, but after seeing her grandma, the scar in her heart was still severely opened.

  She knew the pain of losing a loved one very well, and she didn’t want her to feel the pain of losing a child as soon as she met her grandma.

At this time, Li Duoyu said in the old lady's ear: "Shiqing, you didn't come this time."

After hearing this, the old lady snorted: "It's really unfilial. I've left him an address. It's been open for so many years, but there's not even a letter."

 At this time, the old lady noticed Li Duoyu and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Duoyu said: "I am your grandson-in-law."

Zhou Xiaoying quickly took Li Duoyu's hand: "Nai, we are already married."

The old lady looked him over and said with satisfaction: "He's quite handsome. He matches my granddaughter very well. Do you two have any children?"

 “Yes, it will be two years old soon.”

The old lady looked happy: "You are better, unlike Zhenshun, who is over thirty and has never even had a girlfriend." When the old lady said this, she looked at the eldest grandson in the store with disgust.

Zhou Zhenshun smiled awkwardly: “Grandma, it’s not that I’m not looking for her, it’s that the girls here in Hong Kong are too picky.”

At this moment, two customers walked in: "Boss, bring two bowls of braised noodles."

Zhou Zhenshun apologized: "I'm sorry, I have something bad to do today, so I'm temporarily closed."

 “So early.”

 “Sorry, I’ll come back later.”

After speaking, Zhou Zhenshun quickly pulled the rolling shutter halfway, and said to Li Duoyu and others: "You guys wait a moment, I will go nearby to call my father and second uncle."

While Li Duoyu was waiting in the store, the old lady was already chatting with Zhou Xiaoying.

　　I waited for almost ten minutes.

 Two men and two women came to the store, and two of them looked very similar to Zhou Xiaoying's father.

 As soon as the two parties met, it was a large-scale family recognition scene. Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying hurriedly greeted each other.

Zhou Xiaoying’s uncle, Zhou Shidong, said: “It’s too crowded in the store, let’s talk at home.”

Li Duoyu followed them to a nearby high-rise residential building, just like what was said in the Hong Kong Island movie.

 There are small advertisements posted everywhere on the stairs.

Some doorways are hung with pink neon lights and loud music is playing inside.

 After arriving at uncle’s house,

Li Duoyu found that their room was not much better than the store, and it was also very small.

 It’s a little too small. It has everything including a sofa, a refrigerator, a TV, and an air conditioner. There’s even a fish tank on the balcony.

 The TV was still on, and "Ultraman" filmed in the island country was playing.

There was a little boy of eight or nine years old in the hall, with a piece of white paper taped to his face, on which Ultraman's face was drawn with colored pens.

After seeing his family come back, he held a wooden sword in his hand and shouted to them: "I am Ultraman Taro, look at my Ultra Bomb and kill you monsters."

Zhou Zhenshun patted his head on the spot.

　　"Hurry and put away those messy toys of yours, there are relatives at home."

The little boy said unhappily: "Our family is in Hong Kong Island, where do we have relatives?"

"so rude."

Zhou Zhenshun said speechlessly: "I'm sorry, this is my brother. He was born after he came here, and he is almost spoiled."

 After a group of people sat down, it was time to ask questions, and after such communication between the two parties, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying learned about it.

It turned out that after they arrived on Hong Kong Island and settled down, they had already contacted their hometown. After the change, they have been sending money to their hometown.

But when they learned that their hometown in Jinling had collapsed, Qin Huaiyun took their money and didn't build a new house at all. He didn't even clean Grandpa Zhou Xiaoying's grave.

The whole family was so angry that their faces were all black, and everyone was gnashing their teeth with hatred, wishing to give her a few slaps.

“How can this woman be so bad? I give her so much money every year, even if I don’t build a house, I don’t even care for a grave.”

Uncle Zhou Shidong seemed to have thought of something, and asked hurriedly: "Did he receive the money we gave your father these years?"

Zhou Xiaoying shook her head and said: "My cousin has never contacted us."

Zhou Shidong slammed the table angrily: "It's too shameful. I have to settle the account with this woman. How can she be so heartless? I remit five thousand yuan to her every year."

After hearing the money, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying were both stunned. With so much money, no wonder the cousin could build a mansion and buy a motorcycle, and her children could not have to work every day.

It's no wonder that after Li Duoyu and the others got the address, they were so rude that they even came to check the ward in the middle of the night.

Second uncle Zhou Shiqiang said: "I told you a long time ago that Qin Huaiyun is unreliable, so it is better to call his neighbor Lao Zhang."

 Zhou Shidong sighed, and then said, "Has this year's money been remitted?"

Zhou Zhenshun scratched his head and said, "Just two days ago, the business in the store was relatively good, so I forgot to send it."

"This is a beautiful thing, if you send it, but thinking about it, I can't sleep well."

Uncle Zhou Shidong frowned and asked, "How did you find this place? Qin Huaiyun told you the address? She must not be so kind."

Li Duoyu said: "She didn't give her a contact address. It was Lao Zhang who was next door to her hometown who gave us the address. Today we went to Kowloon Tong to look for it all day long, but we couldn't find it."

Zhou Zhenshun, Xiaoying’s cousin, said: “It’s a wealthy area. How could we live in that kind of place?”

Zhou Shidong was a little embarrassed, but he would not say that it was just vanity that caused him to deliberately leave the address in a wealthy area.

"So this is ah."

Zhou Shidong asked curiously: "Then how did you find us with the wrong address?"

Zhou Zhenshun smiled and said: "It's really luck. They happened to come to the restaurant to eat, and then they chatted about Dandan Island."

Zhou Shidong still felt a little strange. He took a look at Li Duoyu's dress, and he didn't look like a rich man.

There is also this niece, who is also well-dressed. Judging from their clothes alone, they feel that they are getting along better than they are. She couldn't help but ask: "It's hard to sneak across the border now. How did you get here?"

Li Duoyu said:

 “I came here to do something with the leader.”

They have also heard that some leaders from Fujian Province are indeed coming here these days to hold meetings, hold activities and attract investment.

 Next, when both parties are chatting.

Li Duoyu went to his uncle Zhou Shidong alone and told him the news that Zhou Shiqing and his wife had been killed more than ten years ago.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Just now, I have already guessed that the relationship between the third child and the old lady is very good. If they were still there, it would be impossible not to write here. ”

“Thank you, Duoyu, Xiaoying has been taken care of by you these years.”

They originally wanted to keep them together for dinner, but Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying had already eaten, and they were organizing a roll call in the evening.

 So, they went back to the hotel first.

Before leaving, the old lady still held Zhou Xiaoying's hand: "While we are still young, hurry up and have one or two more children. It will be more lively when there are more people. We can already bring the children to Hong Kong Island."

They went all the way to the hotel where Li Duoyu was staying, and his uncle Zhou Shidong stuffed a wad of money over: "This money was originally going to be sent to that Qin Huaiyun."

 “No need, really no need.”

“Hurry up and take it. It’s easier to make money here on Hong Kong Island. You can make several years’ worth of money here in one month.”

 “It’s really not necessary, we have enough money over there.”

At this time, uncle Zhou Shidong and cousin Zhou Zhenshun all became quiet, licked their faces and said hello: "Hello, president."

President Ou asked curiously: "Director Li, the relative you are looking for is probably their family."

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Yes, they are the relatives I am looking for."

President Ou was disgusted and said: "Written the address randomly, North Point is North Point, Kowloon Tong, etc., which made me look for connections. I asked many people, but in the end there were not many people named Zhou."

Zhou Shidong smiled awkwardly.

President Ou continued: "Director Li, are you free tonight? I plan to talk to you in detail about our cooperation."

"sure."

Li Duoyu said to Zhou Xiaoying's relatives: "Uncle and cousin, let's leave first."

 After Li Duoyu left, Zhou Shidong realized that the money had not been given to him yet.

Zhou Zhenshun said: "There is no need to give it. He has cooperated with the president, and he may have more money than us."

At this moment, a tall, thin young man with tattoos on his neck asked with a smile: "How are you, Boss Zhou?"

After hearing this voice, Zhou Shidong suddenly became nervous and hurriedly hid the money in his pocket: "Black Dog, why are you here? I have already paid this month's money."

The young man nicknamed Black Dog said: "I'm not talking to you about money. Do you know the person who just chatted with the president?"

 “He is a relative of mine.”

"They are your relatives." Black Dog lowered his head and thought for a while: "Then starting from next month, the money paid by your store will be cut in half. If you are bullied in the future, just report my name and I will help. You solve it."

"ah."

Zhou Shidong and Zhou Zhenshun were stunned on the spot. They wanted to help this relative from the mainland.

 Unexpectedly, I got benefits because of them. After chatting for so long, I forgot to ask, what does this Li Duoyu do? (End of chapter)
