1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

After leaving Rongcheng Courtyard, Li Duoyu went to the Fisheries Bureau again. After putting his things in the reception room, he was just about to leave when he was recognized by the uncle in the reception room.

"You must be that Li Duoyu."

"Wait a moment, I'll go talk to the director."

Li Duoyu planned to leave after delivering the things, but he didn't expect to be invited in for tea. He also met some acquaintances here.

Zhang Jinglin, and He Mei.

These two people were the class leaders of Li Duoyu when he was training Japanese at Rongcheng University. They had known each other for a while and everyone was relatively familiar with them.

But this time, I didn't see Zhao Jialu in the Fisheries Bureau. He had gone to the Fisheries Research Institute to work with Director Zhang two days ago.

When Li Duoyu was drinking tea with Director Wu, the other party suddenly asked: "Everyone seems to be spreading the news that Road A went to the gilding place below. Is this the way you pointed out to him?"

Li Duoyu frowned slightly and replied with a smile: "Who is spreading rumors? I don't have the ability to guide Mr. Zhao."

Director Wu smiled. He knew Zhao Jialu's character very well. How could a young master who was used to living in the city go to such a remote place.

Director Wu poured some tea for Li Duoyu and then said: "Jia Lu, this person is quite special. If he fails, many people will be happy."

"But once he starts to make progress, there will definitely be a lot of eyes staring at him. Some want to see him laugh, some want to see him fall. In short, even Zhao Jialu's own relatives do not necessarily want him to succeed in gold plating. "

Li Duoyu pretended to be surprised and said, "Is it true? He used to be too arrogant and offended too many people. Now that Director Wu is no longer protecting him, everyone wants to mess with him."

Wu Yuping was stunned for a moment and realized that this kid was really good at pretending to be dumbfounded.

"To be honest, this move of yours is a bit risky. If Zhao Jia goes to the grassroots level, he may cause you trouble."

"What's the trouble? Even if it's close to Dandan Island, his little cherry mouth can eat a few of my fish."

Wu Yuping rolled his eyes at him: "That's best, protect your fish. You are the treasure of our Fisheries Bureau. Zhao Jialu may have something happen to him, but we don't want anything to happen to you."

"Then, please take care of Director Wu from now on."

Li Duoyu naturally knows this very well. Zhao Jialu's resources are too good. Once he is serious, someone will definitely become anxious.

If he really makes some achievements, it will even affect the upward path of some people.

Maybe the position that originally belonged to them will be squeezed out, which makes many people unwilling to see Zhao Jialu succeed.

What Director Wu just said was a reminder to him to try not to get too close to Zhao Jialu to avoid getting burned.

At the same time, it also roughly points out which people may target Zhao Jialu.

After all, many people still don't want to see the prodigal son turn back. For example, when he first came to this world, the last thing he wanted was for him to get better, but for the people he played with.

But Li Duoyu didn't bother to think too much, he just guarded his one-third of an acre of land and did a good job in breeding.

The second sister-in-law in the previous life taught Li Duoyu a very profound truth: as long as you don't mess around, money will not go anywhere.

When Li Duoyu returned to the guest house, it was already afternoon. Zhou Xiaoying said, "My father and mother went to the hospital to take care of my sister-in-law. I took a look and came back after I couldn't help."

Li Duoyu said to Zhou Xiaoying: "You have been studying here for so many years, and we are not familiar with the place and place of Rongcheng. Why don't you show us around."

Zhou Xiaoying gave him a distasteful look. If Li Duoyu was unfamiliar with Rongcheng, she wouldn't believe it. During his smuggling days, he and Agui often came here to fool around.

At least half of the money earned in those years was spent on Rongcheng's dance hall.

Although Zhou Xiaoying stayed in Rongcheng for three years, she spent most of her time studying in school and rarely went out to play.

For a moment, she was asked to tell her where to go, but she didn't know. After thinking for a long time, she said, "How about going to the store we bought."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu remembered that he also had a family business in Rongcheng.

"Okay, let's go take a look. That's a commercial street. We can buy some nice clothes for you mother and son."

"I have enough clothes, so I don't need to buy them. Besides, as a teacher, my clothes are too flashy and have a bad influence on the students."

"You can wear it for me, why don't you wear it for the students? It's also good for us to buy some lace-trimmed silk pajamas."

Zhou Xiaoying was quite speechless at Li Duoyu's words, but there was nothing she could do about it: "Then let's just buy a set."

Li Duoyu opened his mouth wide: "It's really worth buying it. Can you buy it in two colors? One set is white and the other is black."

As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, he felt severe pain in his waist and inner legs. This time, Zhou Xiaoying was really not polite to him. He put both hands down, causing Li Duoyu's face to be deformed in pain.

Not long after.

The two of them came to the most prosperous commercial street in Rongcheng, where the Post and Telecommunications Building and the Popular Cinema were nearby.

Especially the post and telecommunications building was full of people coming in and out, and hatchback buses could be seen on the street from time to time.

But in this era, bicycles are definitely the main way to travel. Cars and taxis can't move quickly on the road. Once they get to such a prosperous place, they have to honk their horns all the time.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at her three stores and smiled broadly, because the business in those three stores was very good.

If the business is good, they won't change tenants frequently, which saves a lot of trouble. Zhou Xiaoying suddenly said: "Duoyu, you said the business is so good, do you want to increase the price after our shared tenancy expires?"

"Have you made a lot of money recently? How about we buy a few more stores? If the business here is so good, it seems like we will make money. If I had known, we would have bought a few more stores in the first place."

Li Duoyu stared at his wife with wide eyes. According to what the young man said in his previous life, could it be that Xiaoying was born with a holy body?

Li Duoyu also thinks it's feasible: "Okay, then I'll tell the middleman that if there are good stores available and the price is right, we can buy a few more stores."

Seeing Li Duoyu and the others stopping at the entrance of the store, the shopping guide went out to greet them.

"Would you like to take a look? There just happened to be a discount recently. It's a good deal."

Li Duoyu glanced at Zhou Xiaoying and said generously: "Okay, I'll buy some nice clothes for my wife to wear."

The shopping guide smiled happily: "You look like you are the kind of person who loves your wife very much."

"It's true that I love my wife, but you can't kill me."

"That's definitely not the case. We do long-term business and the prices are clearly marked."

When Li Duoyu came out of the store carrying large and small bags, Zhou Xiaoying's heart was bleeding, and she felt a little bit distressed: "It feels like she has earned back this month's store rent."

Li Duoyu burst out laughing when he heard this, and Zhou Xiaoying glared: "What's so funny."

"If you were my landlord, really, I would feel a lot of pressure."

As for shopping, Xiao Tutu felt very bored and kept looking at the cars outside.

As he watched, he fell asleep on Li Duoyu's shoulder, drooling on his white shirt.

Seeing that there was still time, Li Duoyu said to little Tutu who was sleeping with his head tilted, "Get up, we are going to the zoo."

Hearing the word "zoo", little Tutu opened his eyes with difficulty. After waking up, his little eyes suddenly opened wide. "Dad, are you going to take me to see pandas?"

Zhou Xiaoying saw that there was still saliva on his face, so she wiped Xiao Tutu's face with the handkerchief she brought with her, and said: "The West Lake happens to be next to the zoo, why don't we go and see it too."

"You may have."

There is also a West Lake in Rongcheng. In his previous life, when he was watching short videos, he learned that there were thirty-six West Lakes in the world.

Hangzhou West Lake ranks first.

Although Rongcheng West Lake is not big, it can still squeeze into the top eight, ranking eighth, and it can be regarded as a slightly famous West Lake.

To be honest, Li Duoyu is used to staying on the island and doesn't like these artificial scenery.

But everyone's aesthetics are different, and some people particularly like these exquisite gardens.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of West Lake Park, there were many photographers with cameras on their backs. They asked everyone they met: "Would you like to take a photo to commemorate it? It costs one yuan a picture and it will be delivered to your home."

Li Duoyu feels that in this era, doing this business is really very profitable.

At this time, a family of out-of-town tourists happened to be pestered by them. The family took out their cameras and said, "No, we have our own cameras."

But if you want to take a family photo, you have to find someone to help. Those who help take pictures will definitely not be willing to take them for them.

Therefore, this out-of-town tourist happened to choose a relatively honest-looking tourist among the crowd to help take photos.

"You just stand here and press this button."

As a result, as soon as they took the pose, the honest "tourist" took two steps back, ran to the other side of the street with his camera in hand.

This sudden scene shocked the whole family. It took several seconds for them to react.

"Someone grabbed the camera."

"Hurry and help, someone is robbing something."

As a result, those who were in the photography business all joked:

"It's something that can be solved with a little money. Now it's better. Even the camera was robbed."

Li Duoyu was also dumbfounded. After staying in the village for so long in this life, he almost forgot that this was a good era with "simple folk customs".

And he also brought a camera. He almost imitated this tourist family just now and asked someone to help him take a group photo. Now that he thought about it, he might as well forget it.

Little Tutu was also dumbfounded. Fortunately, he didn't seem to understand it very well, otherwise the content of the first lesson he learned "out of society" would have been a bit inappropriate for children.

Li Duoyu simply acted as a photographer and took photos of Zhou Xiaoying and Xiao Tutu. Zhou Xiaoying was very happy and even kissed Xiao Tutu.

But little Tutu was not very interested in these flowers and plants, and kept shouting: "Go to the zoo."

Li Duoyu and the others walked for a while and arrived at the zoo. At this time, the Rongcheng Zoo had not yet been relocated and was located in the West Lake.

It can be said that after most tourists arrive at West Lake, most of them go to the zoo.

But when they arrived at the entrance of the zoo, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying were stunned. The entrance was full of people, and they had to queue up to buy tickets.

There was a cyclist nearby, carrying a white wooden box on the back of the bike, with the word "popsicle" written on it in eye-catching red fonts.

The man pushing the bicycle shouted: "Popsicle, ice cream."

Due to strategic reasons, Rongcheng cannot keep up with the industrialization aspect. There are no big factories, but its soft power is still good.

The West Lake in Rongcheng ranks among the top eight, and the zoo is also among the best. CCTV came to film it in person a few years ago.

There are really many animals here, including elephants, pandas, lions, and tigers.

The zoo tickets were not cheap at that time, costing three yuan each. Little Tutu naturally didn't count the money, so the two of them spent six yuan.

I didn't expect that visiting the zoo was quite a luxury. No wonder my second brother was reluctant to take Li Haoran to the zoo a few years ago. With his salary as an accountant, he would have spent half a month's salary on the whole trip.

Maybe it was because of the summer vacation, most of the people in the zoo were parents with their children. Li Duoyu even saw a child holding a small notebook and writing a diary while reading.

When Little Tutu arrived here, his eyes were so wide open. He had chased chickens and bullied dogs in the village.

He had never seen these animals before, but when he saw the elephant, he was actually scared of its large size.

Li Duoyu glanced at the introduction on the elephant pavilion and was stunned for a few seconds. The name of this elephant was Miondun.

It turns out that elephants can live so long. In his previous life, before he was blind, he accompanied his grandson to the zoo. The elephant's name was also Miondun. It seems that it should be the same one.

Li Duoyu was silent for a while. The elephant probably didn't expect that he would have to spend the next half century in it.

At this time, the broadcast in the zoo sounded: "Dear visitors, today the last performance of Bass in the panda house is about to begin."

After hearing the broadcast, seeing the crowd rushing to the panda house, Li Duoyu immediately put little Tutu on his shoulders and ran directly.

Little Tutu smiled very happily: "Dad, go faster."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "If you run faster, your mother can't keep up."

Because of running fast, when they arrived at the panda house, there were already many people, but he still grabbed a seat in the corner of the first row.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was really a little dazed. He didn't expect that these pandas in the zoo were all old friends.

This panda named Bass is not only very famous in China, but also quite famous in the world. It is it that opened the road of panda diplomacy.

It was also the prototype of the Beijing Asian Games mascot "Pan Pan" a few years later.

When Li Duoyu was working illegally in the island country, he had seen it several times on TV in the restaurant.

The islanders are also quite obsessed with pandas. During the time when Bass was popular, there were always islanders who wanted to introduce pandas to their zoos.

I don't know whether it was special training or talent, Bass seemed to listen to instructions very well and could perform some gymnastics movements very well.

"Come on, next, please invite Bass to perform barbell lifting for everyone."

Following the introduction of the two hosts, Bass really lifted the weight in front of everyone.

But after lifting for a while, Bass put it down. The host smiled and said: "Bass, you have worked for a day, maybe you want to get off work."

After hearing this, the crowd couldn't help laughing.

The cute appearance of the panda is really very popular. Xiao Tutu was very happy to see it and even applauded.

But Li Duoyu found that a keeper looked very familiar. If he was right, that person was the keeper who took care of Bass all year round.

As Bass became popular, he also rose steadily and would become the head of the base in the future.

But Li Duoyu also heard some bad things. After a giant panda named Longfei died unexpectedly, he became a controversial figure. (End of this chapter)
