1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

The village has been particularly lively these two days. Not only are there free seafood braised noodles in the square, but you can also go to the theater in the evening. It feels like a festival.

When the loudspeaker in the village announced that the song to be sung on the stage tonight was no longer "Mazu", but "Mu Guiying Takes Command".

The villagers were very excited. This time not only people from Xiasha Village, but also people from Chenjia Village came.

It was still dark, and the village square was surrounded to the point of being filled with water. People had already brought chairs to occupy seats.

By the time Li Duoyu and his family arrived there, there were already forty or fifty rows of people sitting in the square, and there were about four to five hundred people sitting there.

Those in the front are sitting, those in the middle can only stand and watch, and those coming from the back can only stand on long benches.

 Those in the back can only climb to the roofs of nearby houses to take a look. There are people on the scene who have used other people's roofs to sit on. Now they have been caught and are discussing compensation.

Li Duoyu and his family arrived even later. They didn’t even have to stand on a long bench. They could only watch the "ring" at most.

　　When we arrived, the people below were all applauding and shouting: "Well done, this gun is so beautiful."

 There were even many young people blowing hooligan whistles, and the atmosphere was very good.

Sitting on Li Duoyu’s neck, Xiao Tutu, who didn’t see the show, was a little angry:

 “Dad, there are too many people.”

 “I can’t see.”

 “Can you grow taller?”

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. Although he was not very tall, he was still at the passing level of 1.8 meters. Even in Xiasha Village, he could be ranked in the top ten in terms of height.

As far as tutoring is concerned, Zhou Xiaoying is still very strict. She taught Tutu on the spot: "When I went out, I told you to hurry up. You have been playing with toys and you can't see them now. That means you have no chance." See, we can only go back."

Little Tutu puffed up his mouth, but he didn't dare to be angry and coquettish at Zhou Xiaoying. The reason why he was like this was instilled in him by his brothers and sisters.

 You can mess with anyone in this family, but you can’t mess with Teacher Zhou, who is his mother.

Since there was no electricity yet, the troupe brought a small diesel generator, which was just enough to light up the stage.

It is quite dark here in the square. Many people are carrying flashlights. There are so many people and the voices are quite mixed. If you don’t face each other, you may not be able to recognize each other from a distance of one or two meters.

 But some villagers still noticed Li Duoyu and his family, and hurriedly said: "Director Li, my family occupies two seats in the third row in front, which is just enough for you and Teacher Zhou."

Li Duoyu smiled. Their village was considered a big one, with a population of several thousand. For a moment, Li Duoyu couldn't remember who the person who greeted him was.

 “No, really no need, Teacher Zhou and I are just here to join in the fun.”

Seeing Li Duoyu's refusal, the man shouted directly to the villagers standing on the chairs in front of him: "Director Li is here. This play was invited by their family. Hurry up and make room for others."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, carried Xiao Tutu on his shoulders, and headed towards the Tianhou Palace with Teacher Zhou.

 After arriving at Tianhou Palace.

Li Duoyu found that there were quite a few villagers coming to pay their respects tonight, and most of them were acquaintances, including the eldest uncle, the second uncle, Chen Liang's family, and even the third aunt.

Li Duoyu briefly greeted them, then lit three sticks of incense and worshiped Mazu.

Most villagers mutter something to pray for peace and wealth when they pray, but Li Duoyu usually doesn't chant it when he prays.

Aniang Chen Huiying had told him about this incident before, but Li Duoyu thought that sincerity was good, as was a **** like Mazu.

Even if he doesn't ask for help, she will still protect you if you deserve protection.

After Li Duoyu paid his respects, he took Zhou Xiaoying and Xiao Tutu to the top of the mountain. Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying used to have a heated relationship, and the two of them often came here.

 Looking down from here, you can see two villages. Now the island is dotted with stars, and the brightest place is over Beilan Ling Pier.

The Li family's big boat has its lights on, and from a distance, you can vaguely see a lot of people sorting out fishing nets.

Minrong Fishing 056 will leave the port early tomorrow morning and go to Xiangshan Port in the next province to fish for mackerel.

Maybe because the wind is relatively light today, the cheers and whistles from the stage even reached the top of the mountain.

Looking at the crowded square, Li Duoyu had a faint smile on his face. He still remembers it very clearly.

 In his previous life, around the time he was released, the village also invited theater troupes to watch plays every now and then.

The difference from now is that at that time, it was not the fishermen who bought big boats and invited theater troupes to come to the island to perform operas. It was the fishermen who successfully smuggled into the country and made money by working outside, and then they invited everyone to watch the opera.

In the previous life, Shangfeng Town was an important smuggling town. At that time, almost all young people aimed at smuggling, and no one even thought about making money through farming and fishing.

At that time, everyone was almost proud of whose family succeeded in smuggling. Successful smuggling was a matter of honoring the ancestors. Not only did they have to worship their ancestors, but they also had to invite the whole village to watch the show.

 Nowadays, the phenomenon of smuggling people still exists. The island county next door especially likes to smuggle people to overseas provinces, while people in Digua County prefer to go to island countries.

 But the trend in Shangfeng Town seems to have changed. Young people no longer aim at smuggling, and many people also want to raise kelp.

 A few days ago, many fishermen were envious and excited after seeing the big boat. Many of them also wanted to buy a big boat.

 After all, for coastal fishermen, the idea of ​​buying a big boat is in their DNA.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu suddenly recalled the incident when he borrowed a loan shark to sneak into the island country, and suddenly became silent.

If there were ways to make money in his hometown in his previous life, he could also engage in breeding, and if there were people to help him make money.

Then will he still take that path?

Zhou Xiaoying on the side saw Li Duoyu suddenly silent for a long time, thinking that he was too tired during this period, and took little Tutu off his shoulders.

 “Many fish.”

“It’s a bit cold on the top of the mountain. I’m afraid little Tutu will catch a cold. Let’s go back.”

Li Duoyu finally woke up from his memories and looked at Zhou Xiaoying and Xiao Tutu in front of him, feeling full of shame in his heart.

So, while there was no one around, he shouted loudly: "Zhou Xiaoying, I like you so much."

After Zhou Xiaoying heard this, she was stunned, her face was burning, and she turned red instantly.

 “Die, if someone hears it, if you are not ashamed, I will be ashamed.”

"What are you afraid of? Everyone has gone to the theater and there is no one here at all."

 On the way down the mountain.

Li Duoyu put his right hand around Zhou Xiaoying's shoulder and grinned: "Let little Tutu go to bed early tonight."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying understood instantly, frowned and said, "You are so tired, so forget it."

“Who says I’m tired? How can a man say he’s tired? Even if I fish all day long and work hard for five or six hours at night, it’s not a problem.”

Zhou Xiaoying smiled and said: "I happened to drop duck dew tonight. My mother-in-law bought some deer antler powder a few days ago, so I will pour it in for you to drink tonight, just to replenish it."

After hearing about deer antler powder, the corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. He was just being tough and didn't expect Zhou Xiaoying to be serious. Some people have no reaction after eating this food, but after Li Duoyu finished the bowl of velvet antler powder mixed with duck dew soup last time, he felt hot all over his body and spent the whole night tossing and turning.

After Li Duoyu and his family left, a figure with a beer in his hand walked out from behind the stone. Thinking of what he just said, goosebumps spread all over his body.

He originally wanted to continue sitting on the stone and finish the remaining beer and the dried fish in his pocket, but what he didn't expect was.

 The voices of two young people whispering could be heard next to them.

“I was really scared to death just now. Why did Brother Duoyu come here? They almost discovered him.”

 A girl with twin tails was also very nervous: "Qingguang, we better not come to a place like this in the future. If we are bumped into, we will be gossiped about."

"If they dare to gossip, I will marry you right away. See if they dare to gossip."

 “I haven’t said yet that I want to marry you.”

After hearing this, Li Qingguang felt like he was struck by lightning, just like an innocent little boy: "Xiaoyan, what do you have to do to marry me?"

The girl smiled slyly and said, "Unless you learn like Director Li and say you love me loudly."

After hearing this, Li Qingguang suddenly became troubled and couldn't help but look around, and then imitated Li Duoyu and shouted again.

Just as he finished shouting, Chen Xiaoyan kissed Li Qingguang on the face. Li Qingguang hugged him, squeezed him, and stretched his right hand directly from the collar.

 Chen Xiaoyan, who was just eighteen years old, was so frightened that she turned pale. In a hurry, she bit him on the spot and quickly buttoned up the button.

 “Not possible here.”

Li Qingguang scratched his head anxiously: "Then let's change places, why don't we get on my boat."

"That won't work either. My mother said that we have to wait until I am twenty years old and we get engaged."

Li Qingguang glared and said:

 “Then we have to wait two years.”

Chen Xiaoyan said: "It's okay to hold hands."

 Chen Jianghe was hiding behind a rock and drinking. He really wanted to smash the bottle. What would happen tonight?

He was very happy today and wanted to go to the theater with the villagers, but he went a little late, and there was no seat available.

 He is the village party secretary after all.

But no one in the village was willing to give him a seat, which made him depressed, so he had to go to the top of the mountain to drink to drown his sorrows.

I didn’t expect the show to be successful, but I came here to watch two good plays. Now I really drank to drown my sorrows, and I ate all-you-can-eat dog food.

Not long ago, village committee member Zhang Jinsha told him that if he could avoid going to the top of the mountain, he should go there as little as possible. Now he finally understood what he meant.

 “Holy shit!”

 “The Dandan Island of Dog Day.”

 The next day, early in the morning.

 The stage has already begun to be dismantled in the square, and on the other side of the Beilan Pier, villagers and children are all watching.

Today is the first fishing trip of Minrong Fishing 056. Along with a whistle that resounded throughout the island, there was also a series of firecrackers.

Minrongyu 056 slowly left the new port and headed towards the open sea.

 Half an hour later, when the ship's silhouette was no longer visible, everyone evacuated from the new dock.

Li Duoyu did not go back to the village, but picked up some seafood and took Party Secretary Chen Jianghe to the four windmills.

 During this period, the project team built a two-story office building on the top of the mountain, which contained a lot of equipment.

Li Duoyu came to the office building and saw several power personnel who were stationed at Dandan Island. He immediately stuffed the dried seafood in their hands into their hands.

“Director Li, you are so polite. You bring so much seafood every time. We haven’t finished eating the dried abalone and sea cucumber you gave us last time.”

Li Duoyu grinned and said:

“There is nothing to entertain you on Dandan Island, only these seafoods, which are very cheap for us.”

Chen Jianghe smiled apologetically, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart: "It's cheap for you, but for others, this thing is too expensive."

After receiving the dried seafood, this group of electric power personnel invited Li Duoyu and Chen Jianghe into the office building. They were unambiguous and went straight to the point:

“The submarine cable has been laid and has now entered the “grid connection” test phase. As long as the test goes well, we will immediately transmit power to your two villages.”

Li Duoyu held the engineer's hand: "Gong Zhang, this is what I'm waiting for. Can you ask me how long it will take? The villagers have been urging me during this time."

The electrical engineer named Zhang thought for a while: "We can't give you a specific guarantee, but the leader has said that it will not be later than June."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "With your words, I can do business with the people in the village."

During this period, many people did buy TVs. Some of them were relatively well-off and even bought refrigerators and washing machines.

Every once in three days, someone would come to him and ask him when the electricity would be available, which made him a little annoyed.

Although Dandan Island is not very hot in May, you will inevitably sweat profusely when exercising in the room. Last month, Li Duoyu installed the air conditioner. Personally, he also wants to use the air conditioner as soon as possible.

 On the way back.

Chen Jianghe suddenly said seriously: "Director Li, a document has been sent down from the county in the past two days. There is something that you may be asked to take the lead in organizing."

 Li Duoyu asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Chen Jianghe coughed twice: "Next month, the county leaders are going to award some awards to encourage entrepreneurs.

 One is the [First to Get Rich Award], which is a ten thousand-yuan household. Anyone who earns money through legal channels can receive this award, and the others are..."

When he said this, Chen Jianghe deliberately let it slip: "The other awards are all related to you. The leader asked me to ask, which of these two awards, [County Wealth Leader] and [County Star Entrepreneur], do you prefer?" Which one do you like?"

After hearing this, Li Duoyu thought for a while and suddenly said: "Zhishu Chen, can you have both?"

Hearing this, Chen Jianghe was restrained by Li Duoyu for more than ten seconds before he realized: "Damn it, you can't keep a low profile."

 Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said: "I also want to keep a low profile, but my shrimp farm is so large. If I keep a low profile, some people will definitely say that I am showing off."

Chen Jianghe frowned. Although he didn't agree with what he said, he felt that what Director Li said was correct.

 “Do you really want both?”

Li Duoyu said seriously: "I'm not kidding you. For a business person like me, the more awards, the better." (End of Chapter)
