1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

At night, the lights were bright.

The gong and drum team beat gongs and drums all the way, and all the people who participated in the millennium sacrifice followed the sedan chair of Mazu in an orderly manner.

No one slept that night, and every household set up a shrine. When the gongs and drums sounded closer, everyone started to worship.

For the villagers who believe in Mazu, the millennium sacrifice is a very important day. It is not easy to encounter the centenary sacrifice, let alone the millennium sacrifice.

So everyone behaved so pious. If the children did not worship well and wanted to go out to play, the parents would directly serve them with bamboo whips.

Li Haoran was very lucky this time. His father did not have time to participate in the millennium sacrifice and left the quota for him.

Now he is the flag bearer and walks at the front of the team. I don’t know if it is Li Duoyu’s illusion. This little fat man seems to have lost some weight recently.

This time to the ancestral temple, Dandan Island sent two boats, and the sedan chair of Mazu’s golden body and spirit was placed on Li Duoyu’s fishing boat.

Except for the head and the flag bearer, the rest of the people were sitting on Li Niantian's big trawler.

That's right, my uncle and his friends rushed back from the sea outside Zhoushan Fishery to participate in this millennium festival.

Li Duoyu also saw Zhang Mingshan yesterday. To be honest, I almost didn't recognize him the moment I saw him.

Before and after boarding the boat, it felt like a different person. Before boarding the boat, he was white and clean, but after two months.

He lost a lot of weight, as if he had changed his skin. His whole body was dark. Although it was autumn, many parts of his body were still sunburned.

The biggest change was his eyes. Originally a little cunning, but now it has become a little dull.

Li Duoyu thought that this person would rush up and yell at him like a mad dog when he saw him.

Li Duoyu had already prepared a countermeasure, but he didn't expect him to be surprisingly calm. Although he lowered his head, he still greeted him.

"Mr. Li, OK."

Zhang Mingshan's change of attitude made Li Duoyu a little uncomfortable. Later, he asked Chen Liang and found out.

Zhang Mingshan was severely educated for nearly a month on the ship because he did not follow the rules, especially Li Sande wanted to punish him in the middle of the night.

At the beginning, he was very stubborn and threatened to retaliate against them. Later, after a few meals of hunger, he became obedient.

Until more than ten days ago, he found something that completely changed him. That is, when he was cleaning the boat, a big wave happened to hit him.

He was directly hit into the sea and was swept away by the waves. Everyone thought he would die.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the captain of the ship, that is, Li Duoyu's uncle, actually risked his life and jumped off the boat to save him.

Since then, Zhang Mingshan has become very silent and awkward. He even took the initiative to ask when they would go out to sea next time.

But the captain of the ship severely criticized him and felt that he was not suitable to be a crew member on the ship and did not let him stay on the ship.

In the dark night.

Led by Li Duoyu's fishing boat, two fishing boats with pennants beat gongs and drums and headed for the ancestral temple of Meizhou Island.

When their fishing boat arrived, it was already slightly bright, and the waters of Meizhou Island were already full of fishing boats coming to the ancestral temple to burn incense.

Traffic jams are quite common, and now there is a direct ship jam. There are too many fishing boats on the sea, and everyone wants to dock at the pier.

This directly caused congestion in the waterway, and the local sea defense shouted with a loudspeaker.

"Those who have Mazu spirits, those who are organized, and those who participate in activities will have priority to land on the island. Those who are not organized will wait in the nearby sea area first."

After Li Duoyu's fishing boat appeared, the fishing boats on the sea defense side heard the sound of their gongs and drums.

There was also the [Dandan Island Tianhou Palace] flag embroidered on the boat, and immediately shouted with a loudspeaker: "The fishing boats of Dandan Island go first."

It took more than half an hour for Li Duoyu and his fleet to dock at the pier.

Because there was already a long queue behind, everyone got off the boat very quickly.

The big boss, Lao Lu, walked in front holding the incense burner, followed by the flag bearer and the sedan chair. The mighty team appeared at the dock.

Lao Lu, who came to Meizhou Island for the first time, couldn't help showing disgust on his face when he saw the dock here.

It was smaller than the old dock of their Dandan Island, not to mention their newly built dock.

At this time, a middle-aged man at the dock also shouted with a loudspeaker: "Welcome the golden statue of Mazu from the Tianhou Palace of Dandan Island to return to the island."

There were many believers on both sides of the road watching. When they learned that the golden statue of Mazu from Dandan Island was coming, many believers worshiped directly.

In recent years, the golden statue of Mazu on Dandan Island has been well-known, and is called the God of Wealth Mazu by people outside.

I don't know when it started, but there has been such a saying.

That is, if fishermen want to make money, they must go to the Tianhou Palace of Dandan Island to worship the God of Wealth Mazu.

When the golden statue of Mazu arrived, believers on both sides of the road worshiped with great piety, and some even threw coins into the sedan chair, shouting: "Mazu, God of Wealth, bless us to go to sea smoothly and make a fortune."

However, there were some more down-to-earth believers, some of whom knew Li Duoyu, and shouted directly: "Boss Li, when will your Minlong expand its enrollment?"

Li Duoyu smiled.

"You should read the newspaper more and read the information on it. If there is an expansion, it will be notified on it. However, we will soon be picking kelp seedlings this year. If you plan to make this money, you can go to our island to register first."

When they heard that they were going to collect kelp seedlings, the expressions of many people present changed instantly, because everyone knew that collecting kelp seedlings was indeed very profitable, but it was definitely hard-earned money.

Li Duoyu took a few steps forward and unexpectedly saw a team carrying a large camera.

The reporter Lu who was holding the microphone stopped him on the spot and started interviewing him on the spot.

"Director Li meets again. It can be felt at the scene that the Mazu Golden Identity Spirit on your island is very popular. Can you introduce it to everyone?"

Li Duo smiled softly and pushed Lao Lu out directly: "This question is for us, the boss, to answer."

Lu Xiaoyu is relatively honest. Their filming team estimated that they had arrived at Meizhou Island yesterday.

I heard that after approval from the leadership, all two cameras in the station were sent to Meizhou Island.

The ninth day of September.

Even though Li Duoyu and the others arrived very early, looking around the island, there were people everywhere, even the big rocks on the mountain were full of people.

It was difficult for people to walk, let alone carry the mikoshi. After walking a certain distance, the flag team, gong and drum team and maid team stopped moving forward.

It took Li Duoyu and the others two full hours to deliver the golden statue of Mazu to the ancestral temple.

After Li Duoyu completed his tasks here, he was called away by the council, and Lao Lu and the others were not qualified to participate in the activities of the preparatory team.

Li Duoyu followed the leaders and participated in the foundation laying ceremony of the Statue of Haitian Goddess. At the foundation laying site, Li Duoyu saw a smaller statue of Goddess Haitian.

Li Duoyu is already very familiar with this statue and has seen it countless times. The only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable is.

It seems that if I wanted to go to the Statue of the Goddess of the Sea and Sky in my previous life, I had to pay an extra ticket.

After attending the foundation laying ceremony of the Statue of Haitian Goddess, what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that he would talk about the preparatory meeting that day.

Unexpectedly, the local leaders took it seriously. Today, in addition to the foundation laying ceremony of the Haitian Goddess Statue, there was also a special establishment ceremony for the Mazu folk rescue team.

Li Duoyu was announced on the spot as the secretary-general and head of the rescue team. Li Duoyu had previously escaped the interview.

There was no way to escape this time. He was caught there by Lu Xiaoyu and interviewed for nearly half an hour.

The climax of the day was the arrival of the Overseas Province fleet. Someone on the pier shouted: "Overseas Province Beigang Chaotian Palace has come to pay incense to pay homage to our ancestors."

And as soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. Unlike other places, for some special reasons, they came directly holding Mazu's golden body.

And after they arrived, no matter if it was a camera or a camera, they all ran to take pictures of them, and the leader was the one.

Li Duoyu also knew it. After all, he had seen information about this person in Mazu's cultural center in his previous life.

His name is Cai Fuxiong, and his family has believed in Mazu for generations. He has been helping believers from overseas provinces to come to the ancestral temple for pilgrimage. He can be said to be the first person to spread Mazu culture on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The day ended with various activities, and it was not until the next day that Mazu went on a tour around the country.

This time around, only Meizhou Island, Tianhou Temple on Dandan Island, and Beigang Chaotian Temple all participated.

The mighty team attracted countless people to watch, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

Li Haoran, who was holding the flag, walked with a breeze, and Li Shuihua, who was dressed as a Mazu maid, had a knowing smile on her face.

Those who were lucky enough to participate in this thousand-year tour were all very excited. Li Duoyu, who transformed into a crowd of onlookers, started laughing after seeing how happy they were.

What surprised Li Duoyu was that he actually met an acquaintance here on Meizhou Island, the blind man Chen who used to tell fortunes in Tianhou Palace.

He wore round sunglasses, used a cane, and had a child supporting him.

Li Duoyu came over and said hello: "Old Chen, you can't even see me, why are you here to join in the fun?"

After hearing the sound, Blind Chen was quite surprised: "Duoyu, what a coincidence, you are here too."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "My mother said that you are very accurate in fortune telling. If you have time, would you like to help me calculate a fortune teller?"

After hearing this, Blind Chen quickly shook his head and mumbled: "I'll tell you once, and I won't be able to stay on Dandan Island any longer. If I tell you again, I'll probably have to leave the country."

"Such an exaggeration."

Li Duoyu didn't know whether this man was really capable or just blind. Seeing that he was a bit old, he said.

"As you get older, you should take care of your health."

After Li Duoyu left, Blind Chen sighed and said to the child beside him: "In the future, you should stay away from this kind of people when you see them."

The child seemed to understand: "Grandpa, am I not allowed to tell fortunes for such people?"

Blind Chen was silent for a while and murmured: "Actually, I don't know either."

The three-day event was over and the ships left Meizhou Island one after another. This series of events was considered a success.

Especially the addition of the TV station brought this event to a whole new level. Unfortunately, the senior leader seemed to have something to do in the imperial capital and did not come to participate in this event.

After the golden avatar spirit of Mazu from Dandan Island came back, there was a continuous sound of firecrackers on the island.

In order to celebrate, the fishermen on the island try to go out fishing as little as possible during this period. According to the method of the older generation, during this period, clairvoyants, tailwind ears, shrimp soldiers and crab generals are also celebrating, so they have no time to bless you.

So every time this festival comes, it becomes a spontaneous "fishing ban" for fishermen.

After being busy for a while, Li Duoyu rested at home these days, but little Tutu was still at the age of being "muddy".

As long as Li Duoyu is at home, his little mouth will always say: Dad, play with me!

Li Duoyu had to take him out for a walk, and as usual, he liked to ride on his head when he went out.

Because as long as he was with his dad, the dogs on the island would run away when they saw this pair.

After Li Duoyu took him around, he went directly to the new district. Nowadays, this place is developing very fast.

Since large ships can only stop at the new wharf, the eldest uncle and the third uncle also chose a piece of land here, and they also plan to move their houses here next year.

Li Duoyu took a look and found that people had already started living at the new wharf, from Chenjia Village.

When they saw Li Duoyu, they all greeted him enthusiastically: "Director Li, you are here for inspection. Would you like to come to our house for tea?"

"You are so polite. I will take my children out for a walk."

Li Duoyu walked around and saw that the branch of Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School was almost completed. Now they were just waiting for a good day to hold the opening ceremony.

And he, the vice president, would probably be pushed to speak on that day.

As for the shellfish research station built by the Fisheries Research Institute on the island, it was renamed during this period and became the [Dandan Island Abalone Breeding Center].

The reason is that Li Duoyu's Minlong Company directly invested in it and can now be said to be the major shareholder of the Abalone Breeding Center.

A few days ago, Li Duoyu just signed an agreement with the Abalone Breeding Center. In the early spring of next year, the breeding center will be responsible for providing abalone seedlings, and Minlong Company will be responsible for raising abalone.

At that time, as long as the abalone scale is up, Li Duoyu plans to start the southern abalone breeding mode in the north.

After Li Duoyu took Tutu for a walk, the boy fell asleep while being rocked by him. He didn't pee this time, but he drooled a lot. I don't know what delicious food he dreamed about.

During the holidays, Teacher Zhou, who hadn't played mahjong for a long time, actually started to feel itchy, so Li Duoyu set up the mahjong table.

When the eldest cousin Li Shuguang saw the mahjong table was set up, he sat directly in the north and said, "The north wind is good."

Zhou Xiaoying sat in the south. Li Duoyu wanted to sit in her upper seat, but Li Shuguang was not happy.

"It's boring if you deliberately let Xiaoying eat it. Go sit in Xiaoying's lower seat."

Seeing that there was still one person missing, Li Shuguang directly called his second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua: "Do you want to come over and play a few rounds?"

Zhu Xiuhua, who hadn't played mahjong for a long time, also felt itchy, but after seeing Teacher Zhou's belly, she backed out on the spot.

"I won't play. There are three people from the Duoyu family at this table. I can't beat them. I won't play."

Li Duoyu was also stunned for a while, and then he understood what his second sister-in-law meant. It seems that there is such a saying among the people that pregnant women usually have better luck when playing cards. (End of this chapter)
