1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Around half past seven, it was completely dark.

At this time, two figures appeared in the courtyard of the stone house, carrying two baskets full of oysters.

After seeing the figures of the two people clearly.

Li Duoyu froze on the spot, especially the middle-aged man who already had a lot of white hair. An unspeakable emotion was brewing uncontrollably.

In his last life, his father had worked hard for most of his life, and he was the one who hurt him the most and worried him the most.

Before leaving, I was still asking my eldest brother: How is Duoyu's life in the island country?

As a result, Li Duoyu was afraid of being deported, so he failed to come back to see him off for the last time.

Come to think of it, it's quite unfilial.

Seeing the second elder carrying such a heavy oyster, Li Duoyu quickly stepped forward and helped pour the oysters out of the basket.

However, the warm reunion scene was interrupted by the sharp voice of the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua before it lasted for a while.

"Li Yaoguo, can't you be a bit promising?"

"As for your village accountant's job, it only lasts for half an hour a day. Look at my uncle, how diligent and smart he is. A trip to the sea can cover his salary for one or two years."

Seeing that the second oldest child, Li Yaoguo, was being scolded by his daughter-in-law again.

The second elder also looked helpless. The reason why they came back so late was because they didn't want to hear the daughter-in-law's nonsense.

Looking at the cowardly second child, Lao Li was also very angry. What he regretted most in his life so far was that he failed to stop the second child's marriage.

Li Duoyu also had a headache when he heard the second sister-in-law getting angry there. Why are you trying to bring hatred to me?

After the two elders arrived home, Aniang went directly to the kitchen to light a fire to cook, while Lao Li took out the tobacco he had brought with him and wrapped a hand-rolled cigarette in cigarette paper.

After taking a few puffs.

Looking at Li Duoyu who was still grinning stupidly, he asked casually: "Have you had dinner?"

"Eat." Li Duoyu chuckled.

"You didn't know how to leave some for us after you ate it. A big ship is coming today. Why didn't you go out?"

“Maybe they won’t be sold anymore in the future.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, his second sister-in-law rushed out of the room and looked at him in surprise: "Duoyu, are you really not going to sell the goods?"

Looking at the shocked and nervous expression of the second sister-in-law, Li Duoyu was really a little confused.

"I'm not leaving."

Li Duoyu replied clearly.

After getting the exact answer, the second sister-in-law became anxious:

"Duoyu, you can't do this. Once you make money, you won't care about your second brother."

"When we separated, I gave Xiaoying the dressing table to her. When we built this stone house when you were still young, your second brother helped to build it. Logically speaking, the stone house you live in now Half of this apartment belongs to your second brother."

Li Duoyu now understood why the second sister-in-law turned on the lecture mode as soon as her parents came back. It turned out that the words were said to him on purpose.

The purpose was to let him take his second brother to "smuggle goods", but when he heard that he didn't want to do this anymore, he immediately jumped on his feet and rushed out.

In the past life, if the second sister-in-law was so messy, Li Duoyu would definitely fight back.

But Li Duoyu, who is actually in his fifties or sixties, knows better than to reason with such a woman and should use all his strength.

But just when he was about to start spraying, Lao Li, who was smoking a hand-rolled cigarette, took the lead and got angry:

"That's enough. You can't talk properly and you have to make trouble every time."

See Lao Li training her.

Zhu Xiuhua, who was jumping, pointed the gun at him.

"Dad, you can't be so partial. Do you think I don't know that when we separated, although you didn't give the fourth child any money, you secretly gave a lot to Xiaoying. Did we say anything? The fourth child can now The money you make may be based on the money you gave me in the first place.”

"That's the gift I gave Xiaoying, don't you also have it?"

"Xiaoying's parents have been gone for a long time. She was raised by our family since she was a child. If there is no need for a betrothal gift, this money was clearly given to the fourth child on purpose by you."

Zhou Xiaoying, who was preparing lessons, was confused by her second sister-in-law. After hearing something related to herself, she silently put down her pen.

Lao Li was so angry that his daughter-in-law coughed.

In the kitchen, Mother Li, holding a cooking shovel, really wanted to rush out and teach her daughter-in-law a lesson.

This time, Li Duoyu couldn't bear it anymore. He said anyone could do it, even his wife, who said she was so sensible, slapped the table on the spot and said:

"Since the calculation is so clear, okay, let's do it piece by piece, and you should spit out the big brother's share first."

Li Duoyu suddenly became angry, which shocked Zhu Xiuhua, but he saw nearby neighbors coming out to watch the show.

Instead of restraining herself, Zhu Xiuhua shouted at the top of her voice: "Let's all comment."

Seeing his wife being embarrassed there, the second brother Li Yaoguo, who was usually very timid, quickly dragged her back: "Stop embarrassing me, go home quickly."

When Li Yaoguo pulled her, he even hit her several times.

"If you weren't useless, I wouldn't need to be so embarrassed."

After cursing and cursing, Zhu Xiuhua started to cry aggrievedly, as if everyone had united to bully her.

After a farce is over.

The neighbors who were watching all dispersed, and Lao Li smoked the remaining cigarette in one gulp, with exhaustion written all over his face.

There are more children, and there are more troubles.

They made trouble before the separation, but they didn't expect it to happen again after the separation.

Fortunately, the fourth child didn't go crazy tonight, otherwise it would have been another restless night.

Lao Li glanced at Li Duoyu:

"Your mother asked Xiaohai today and caught some small seafood and sea melon seeds. If you have nothing to do tonight, would you like to have a drink together?"

"Then I'll get the wine."

Li Duoyu said with a smile.

Old Li nodded: "Take the better ones, I know there are none."

"Got it, I promise to treat Comrade Li well."

Li Duoyu went home and found a bottle of Red Star Moutai from the kitchen.

Although Moutai at this time was 8 yuan a bottle, it was much harder to get than in the previous life. You couldn't buy it with money, you had to buy it with tickets.

Some time ago, when Li Duoyu was outside buying Yuan Datou, there happened to be a city guy who wanted to import a calculator. Li Duoyu directly sold the one he carried with him to him in exchange for two Moutai tickets.

One bottle had already been drunk by him and Agui, and the one at home was the last one.

Seeing Li Duoyu take out Moutai, Old Li couldn't help but grumble twice. Although he had never seen it before, he had heard its advertisements on the radio.

Moutai is not only the wine for state banquets, but also the favorite liquor of great men. He didn't expect that after working hard for most of his life, he finally drank this kind of wine with his son.

Old Li shouted to his wife who was busy in the kitchen:

"Huiying, fry the clams and add more oil. I want to have two drinks with Lao Si today."

After unscrewing the bottle cap.

The aroma of Moutai instantly filled the whole house. Old Li sniffed a few times: "Good wine is really fragrant."

Li Duoyu also thought that this Moutai was very fragrant, but it was really shameful to say that in his previous life, he had never drunk it again except for the bottle of Moutai he drank with Agui.

When the dishes were served, the Moutai had been drunk by the father and son. They drank one cup after another. After a few sips, their eyes were all red, as if they were people with stories.

Half a catty of white wine went down.

Old Li burped.

"It's not profitable to be a fisherman now. If you don't sell the goods, what do you plan to do in the future?" After drinking, Li Duoyu, with red cheeks, thought for a while and replied: "Maybe I will do some kelp farming first." Hearing about kelp farming, Lao Li was slightly stunned: "It's not that this thing doesn't make money. A few years ago, there were people on our island who also raised it, but in the end it all rotted in the sea and lost a lot of money." "Dad, now the farming technology has made a breakthrough." Lao Li really didn't believe it: "I still think it's unreliable. If you really want to do farming, I'll give you the acres of oysters at home." "Forget it, if you really give me those acres of oysters, my second sister-in-law will fight me to death." Li Duoyu cleared all the clams in the basin, and then shouted to his mother in the kitchen: "I'm going to find my uncle in a while. Do you have anything to bring to him?" Mother is a very conservative woman. Once the man in the family drinks, she usually won't sit at the same table, but eat by herself with a bowl. Chen Huiying in the kitchen thought for a while after hearing this and replied: "We don't have anything good to give him. If he wants, just bring some dried fish, dried oysters, and dried cuttlefish."

"Got it, mother."

When Lao Li saw that Li Duoyu knew to bring some souvenirs when he went to see his uncle, he was immediately relieved and his anger towards his daughter-in-law was also reduced.

Li Duoyu seemed to have grown up overnight. He was no longer the child who made people worry. It was just that this big hair made people look unhappy.

"By the way, shave your hair before you go to see your uncle, otherwise you can't even enter the door of the institute."

"Got it, I'll go get a haircut tomorrow."

Save this poor newcomer, please have mercy. (End of this chapter)
