1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Although Li Duoyu doesn't like his father and mother eating these pickled foods, they are unhealthy, but they taste really delicious.

 Dinner, Li Duoyu himself did not eat less, and Lao Li rolled his eyes for a while.

As soon as dinner was finished, A Niang wanted to wash the dishes, but Zhou Xiaoying snatched her away: "I'll just wash the dishes."

Li Duoyu crossed his legs.

Little Tutu sat on his ankles, using his legs as a seesaw, and shouted: "Daddy, please move faster."

 “If you go any faster, your father’s foot will be broken.”

Li Duoyu stabbed Little Tutu several times with his beard shavings, making him burst into laughter.

 “It’s so itchy.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Li Duoyu's beard and pulled it out hard, causing Li Duoyu's eyes to turn white in pain.

 “You are a rebel. If you dare to pluck out my beard, it would be better to have a daughter.”

Chen Huiying glared at him:

 “What the **** are you talking about.”

She held the three red certificates in her hands. The more she read them, the more she liked them. She kept placing them on the TV cabinet: "If the TV cabinet is made of glass, it will not collect dust."

 “Let’s talk about it later when we get more.”

Lao Li, who was smoking in the courtyard, couldn't help but snorted: "You don't know how to keep a low profile. You think that getting a certificate is just like eating and drinking. You can take it whenever you want."

Li Duoyu would not tell Lao Li that his shrimp farming project was going to be completed, and the awards he would get would only get bigger and bigger in the future, and the level would get higher and higher.

At this moment, Chen Huiying suddenly remembered something. She picked up the magic basket and went directly to Lao San's shop to buy some things for worship.

He also brought his three award certificates and said to the fourth child: "Come with me to the Queen of Heaven's Palace."

Before Li Duoyu could speak, little Tutu said: "Grandma, I also want to go to Tianhou Palace."

Chen Huiying smiled and said: "You play with grandpa first, we will be back soon."

Little Tutu kept looking at the magic basket, swallowed and said: "Bye this time, did you buy crystal candies?"

When Zhou Xiaoying, who was still washing dishes, heard this, she said angrily on the spot: "If you don't even eat, how can you eat crystal candy? Mom, you must not give him candy, otherwise it will become more and more difficult to carry him in the future."

 Li Duoyu is indeed a little tired.

I wanted to go there tomorrow, but you can see the serious and pious look on my mother-in-law's face.

 “Okay, I’ll come right away.”

 In fact, even now, this woman with quite conservative ideas still feels that it was Mazu who enlightened him.

 And this year, he happens to be the head of the family. If he wins such an award, he naturally has to tell Mazu first.

 Chen Huiying is not the only person on the island who thinks this way, many people think this way.

This year is particularly exaggerated. Not only people from Dandan Island come to worship at the Thean Hou Temple on the island, but believers from other places often come to worship at the Thean Hou Temple on their island.

 Because there are rumors that the golden body of Mazu in Tianhou Temple on Dandan Island is more powerful. In addition, Li Duoyu, the big boss, is so "prosperous" this year.

 He himself is the best sign.

 The year is not even halfway through, and thirty or forty people have already signed up to be the first home for the next year.

 Li Duoyu can even see that when the Holy Grail is thrown next year and the winner is decided, the scene is expected to be very big, and it will take a whole day just to throw the Holy Grail.

Li Duoyu walked along the stone steps to Thean Hou Temple, but when he arrived at the temple, he found that the light was a bit dim and several candles were not lit.

As if Aniang had known about this situation for a long time, she took out a few candles she had just bought from Ajie's shop from the magic basket, lit them and plugged them in again.

Li Duoyu also moved the shortened kerosene wick upwards a little, and the entire palace and temple lit up instantly.

When praying, Chen Huiying muttered something, and Li Duoyu finally heard it clearly this time. It was probably to thank Mazu for blessing her, allowing Duoyu in my family to win so many awards.

After waiting for his mother-in-law to pay her respects, Li Duoyu looked around the Tianhou Palace and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Lord Zhu from the temple recently?"

Aniang replied: "I also heard from people that he has not been in good health recently. His knees hurt so much that he can't walk, so he no longer lives here. Now he lives with his child."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. If he guessed correctly, Miao Zhugong must have gout. He doesn't know what's going on now. Everyone's life has become better, but the number of problems has also increased.

　What is gout and stroke?

There is also Lao Mi’s gastrointestinal disease.

Li Duoyu thinks that it may be that the material conditions have improved all at once, but everyone's physical adaptability has not yet improved, and so many people have become sick.

Aniang continued: "Originally, your father was going to come to guard the temple, but these days, he has been patrolling your eel factory and has not come."

After A Niang said this, Li Duoyu went out and took a look. His eel factory was the brightest in the entire Xiasha Village. There were even several flashlight beams moving nearby. If I guessed correctly, they should be those patrolling. people.

Since Li Duoyu became the boss and took charge of Mazu's patrol, he rarely came to Tianhou Palace to help.

“Auntie, why don’t you go back first? I’m the boss, so it’s unreasonable for the Tianhou Palace to be left unattended.”

Chen Huiying frowned slightly. She also wanted to help the fourth child guard the temple, but since ancient times, there was no precedent for women guarding the temple.

"Then I'll go back and get you a blanket. It's windy on the mountain and it's still a bit cold at night. Do you want to cover yourself with a quilt?"

 “I got it, mother.”

The Tianhou Temple on the island is not closed even at night. Even at night, Mazu will bless the fishermen.

I heard that in the early days, the door was closed. I don’t know who said later that if the door was closed, how would Mazu go home?

　From then on, even on windy days, there would be some gaps inside the temple.

 Except for typhoon days of course.

Maintenance of the temple is not simply sleeping in the temple. There are many things to do, the most basic of which is cleaning. Li Duoyu picked up the bamboo broom and briefly swept the Tianhou Temple.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoying helped bring up the quilt. When he saw that he was cleaning the spider silk with a chicken feather blanket, he said, "I haven't seen you clean the house a few times, but you clean it very clean here."

Seeing Xiaoying bring a quilt for him, Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Hey, this is not easy. As long as Comrade Xiaoying is willing to let go, I can do all the hygiene at home in the future."

Seeing that Li Duoyu didn't seem to be joking, Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him: "You are so good at making money now. If people know that you have to do hygiene at home, I don't have to go out. Maybe I will be scolded by those three aunts and eight aunts." died."

Li Duoyu smiled, and it was amazing to say that in this era, the thing that hinders women's "awakening" is really women.

In addition to bringing him a quilt, Zhou Xiaoying also brought him a small radio and two coils of mosquito coils: "If you don't close the door, there will be a lot of mosquitoes at night."

Seeing his wife being so considerate, Li Duoyu wanted to give her a squeak on the spot, but considering this was the Tianhou Palace, he couldn't mess around.

Zhou Xiaoying went back after delivering the quilt.

Li Duoyu stood at the stone pillar, looking at the sea, and found that there were suddenly several fishing boats with lights on the sea.

 It was too far away to see clearly, but you could vaguely see a square thing being dragged behind the small fishing boat.

 It should be a tool used to catch small pipes.

Li Duoyu calculated the time and found that there were indeed small tubes at this time, but not many. It would take almost half a month before the peak season for small tube fishing would begin.

 For the fishermen on Dandan Island, when the season of small pipes arrives, everyone will stay up late to catch small pipes.

This suddenly reminded Li Duoyu of something, that is, the fishing boats produced by Changwei Shipyard should have been built, and they had to be picked up quickly and rented to the villagers.

 Li Duoyu turned on the radio and tuned to the channel of the overseas province. The relationship between the two parties has been pretty good in the past two years, but he has not always heard the United Front's speech.

However, I have often heard recently that veterans from overseas provinces have launched a "freedom to return home movement", and the other party cannot suppress it even if they want to.

Speaking of this, Li Duoyu really knows these things. The veterans from the overseas provinces back then could really think of any way to return home.

 He once met a veteran from the overseas provinces in the island country. After he arrived in the island country, he destroyed all passport information related to the overseas provinces. He mingled with them and then turned himself in, saying that he was a Chinese illegally smuggled in. In the end, he was deported back to the country.

 Li Duoyu listened for a while longer.

 Unexpectedly, I heard the Japanese version of Miss Deng's "Let Time Go By" again.

This song was still very popular even after Li Duoyu arrived in the island country, and their stowaways also particularly liked to listen to her songs.

But Li Duoyu still liked her "Walking on the Road of Life" the most. He relied on this song to get through the countless nights when he worked illegally in the island country.

 It’s about nine o’clock in the evening.

 Except for the eel factory, most of the lights on the island have been turned off.

Li Duoyu burned a stick of incense, bowed to Mazu, and fell asleep directly in the Tianhou Palace.

Li Duoyu thought it would be hard to sleep, but he didn’t expect that young people sleep well, so he just fell asleep.

The next day, someone came to say goodbye very early. A little boy looked at Li Duoyu who was still sleeping on the bed, pointed at him and said: "Grandma, there is a big lazy pig here, the sun is shining on his butt, and he is still here." Sleep well here.”

The old man came over to take a look, and when he realized it was Li Duoyu, he quickly patted the child on the head: "Don't talk nonsense, that's our village director."

The little boy blinked: "The village director is the one who built the most beautiful building in our village. Does his son have a robot toy?"

 “That’s right, it’s him.”

“But isn’t the village director’s house very big? Why would he come to sleep in a temple?”

"You kid doesn't understand. He is the head of the family and occasionally comes to guard the temple. Keep your voice down, but you don't know. Don't wake up Director Li."

The little boy said excitedly: "Isn't it interesting to guard the temple? I also want to guard the temple, and I also want to be the boss."

　　"Whatever you dream about, your father and your grandfather are not good enough, yet you still want to be a big boss."

The old man frowned. Seeing that the child was getting more and more excited as he talked, he quickly finished his prayers, said a few words for blessing, twisted his ears and left the Temple of the Queen of Heaven.

“Go quickly, don’t play here, I’ll wake up Director Li later, let’s see how I can fix you.”

 Perhaps because he has been spinning lately, Li Duoyu has been waking up relatively late recently, and it was already past eight o'clock when he got up.

There is already a lot of incense on the incense burner. It seems that some villagers have come to worship.

Li Duoyu simply washed his face, bowed to Mazu, and left the Tianhou Palace.

But when he was halfway there, he met Zhang Jinsha from the village committee and was stopped on the spot.

“Duoyu, go to the village committee quickly. The staff from the Electricity Bureau are looking for you.”

“Ah, isn’t Party Secretary Chen here? It would be great if he could handle it.”

Zhang Jinsha made a sad face: "Those people don't seem to pay much attention to Party Secretary Chen, they just came to find you."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "Okay, I'll go home and grab a few bites of rice, and I'll be there right away."

 “Okay, then I’ll go back and entertain the guests first.”

After Li Duoyu returned home, he took two mouthfuls of porridge and went to the village committee.

Chen Huiying frowned and said: "Why is it so urgent? Breakfast is not even delicious."

After Li Duoyu arrived at the village committee, he found that there were actually three guests in his office.

Two of them, Li Duoyu is quite familiar with, they are the technicians who have been stationed in Beilan Territory.

Later, Li Duoyu heard that the level of these two technicians was quite high. They were not at the county or city level, but at the provincial level. After all, this power generation test was a national-level project.

Normally, Li Duoyu calls them Chen Gong and Cai Gong. After getting along with each other for a long time, everyone is quite familiar with them.

Li Duoyu often asked people to bring them some vegetables and some hard-to-get seafood.

In addition to the two of them, there is also an "unfamiliar face" here today. If I remember correctly, this person was included in the group photo after the equipment was transported to Dandan Island. He seemed to be standing in the front row, and his last name was whatever he was. Li Duoyu had forgotten.

 But when this man saw Li Duoyu, he smiled and said hello: "Director Li, long time no see."

Li Duoyu couldn't pronounce the other person's name and was really embarrassed, but he still shook hands with the other person enthusiastically.

"Long time no see. Come on, sit down and I'll make you some tea."

Li Duoyu recently discovered a depressing thing, that is, when he goes out, many people know him, but he does not know each other.

Perhaps, this is the benefit of having more newspapers. After all, in an era when television was not yet popular, newspapers were the strongest media.

 The two technicians couldn't help but snicker, and one of them came to the rescue and said, "Director Li, our Section Chief Zhang is here to inform you that the wind power generation test has been completed and the village can now be powered on."

 Chen Jianghe, who was still very resentful at first, stopped complaining immediately after hearing the news. It really hurt his self-esteem just now.

When he saw someone coming to see Li Duoyu, he originally wanted to entertain them warmly, but when the leader knew that he was not Li Duoyu, he ignored him.

What else can I say? The handover work of the wind power test project is only handled by Li Duoyu.

Chen Jianghe burst into tears on the spot. I just wanted to make tea for you, not to take away his credit.

 But when he thought about it, County Magistrate Zhang wanted to inspect the wind power plant, but was beaten by someone. Thinking of this, he felt a little better.

After hearing this, Li Duoyu also blinked and said in surprise: "Chief Zhang, the power is really going to be turned on."

 Zhang Xuecai nodded: "Yes, that's right. Now the entire wind power generation has been tested. The Beilan collar you recommended is indeed good and very suitable for wind power generation."

 Li Duoyu quickly poured tea to the other party: "It's been really **** you during this period."

“Yes, this is our job. I heard from Gong Chen and Gong Cai that Director Li took great care of them during this period.”

“I can’t really talk about taking care of it. It’s just the vegetable garden. Occasionally, there are too many vegetables planted. Also, since we are a fishing island, the most important thing is seafood.”

The thinner Chen Gong said: "Director Li, we may have to conduct a power test today. The village has been without electricity for a long time. You may have to inform the villagers. We will test it for two days to see if the voltage and lines are OK. ”

 “Okay, I’ll take care of it right away.”

"Then please inform us that we will deliver electricity to the village at two o'clock in the afternoon."

“By the way, your eel factory generates its own electricity. It’s best to shut it down for at least half an hour before reconnecting it.”

"clear."

Li Duoyu hummed a happy ditty all the way to the eel factory, went directly to the broadcast room, and patted the microphone.

“Dear villagers, I am Li Duoyu. Please pay attention. The next thing is very important.

 Our village will receive a call in the afternoon.

 Let me say it again, our village will receive a call at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon. Please go home and check to see if there are any electrical appliances that are not turned off and if there are any aging wires.

Our village has been without electricity for too long. We must pay attention to safety. If it involves electrical appliances, turn them off quickly. "

 “I’ll inform you again.”

 After hearing the news, the whole village was as happy as if they were celebrating a festival.

 At Dandan Island Primary School, a student was so excited that he stood up after hearing the news.

 “It’s great, I can go to my uncle’s house to watch TV again.”

As a result, a piece of chalk was thrown directly at him. Teacher Shanshan said angrily: "Li Haoran, please stand at the door for me." (End of this chapter)
