In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 10 Heading to the County
After Zhou Xiaoying finished boiling the hot water, Li Duoyu was kicked out again.

He sat on the stone slab in the courtyard, looked at the coastline, and continued to listen to the melodious music from the other side of the sea. Today Miss Deng sang "Don't Pick the Wild Flowers by the Roadside".

The little fat pier, who had eaten and drank enough, burped and sat next to Li Duoyu.

"Uncle, listen to what Grandma said, you helped Auntie print the papers today."

"Do you want to know?" Li Duoyu said with a smile.

The little fat pier was full of anticipation, lowered his voice, and said in Li Duoyu's ear:

"Uncle, can you tell me the question, my father said, if I get 100 points in the test, I will get a new schoolbag."

Li Duoyu looked kind, and then shouted to Zhou Xiaoying who was still taking a bath:

"Xiaoying, Haoran asks you, can you tell him what are the topics in the papers printed today?"

After hearing this.

Li Haoran froze on the spot, feeling an urge to die on the spot, but what broke him the most was that his aunt really returned to him.

"You told Haoran that the content of the exam is all about the key points of painting, and the exam will be the day after tomorrow, so let him study hard."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Haoran, do you hear me?"

Little Fatty looked at Li Duoyu with red eyes: "Uncle, I want to break up with you this time."

"Come on, I haven't bought you a workbook yet."

Hearing this, Li Haoran burst into tears, and drew out his mother and second sister-in-law.

"Why are you bullying Haoran?"

Chen Huiying gave him a blank look, and quickly hugged her precious grandson to comfort her.

The second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua also looked at Li Duoyu angrily: "Our Haoran recruited you, or provoked you, why did you make him cry?"

Li Duoyu didn't expect to invite this big Buddha, so he had to tell the truth: "No, I'm just going to the county seat tomorrow, and I said I would give him some exercise books, and he was so moved that he cried."

Zhu Xiuhua knew what kind of material her son was, he was not moved, he was obviously scared.

But when he heard that the fourth child was going to the county seat, his eyes lit up instantly: "Duoyu, you are going to the county seat tomorrow, did you go to Shangfeng Town? If so, help me buy a few meters of beautiful cloth and come back."

Li Duoyu smiled and stretched out his hand:

"It's okay to help buy, but give me the money first."

Zhu Xiuhua smiled awkwardly: "Your second brother's salary is only so small, you can buy it for me first, and I will pay you back next month, or you can lend me some money, and I will ask your brother to pay you the IOU."

Li Duoyu, who has been a man for two generations, is very bright in his heart. No matter what era he is in, the one who owes money is the uncle, and he must never say this.

"Didn't you still buy pig's trotters today, how could you have no money?"

Zhu Xiuhua choked for words immediately, her face was burning hot. When she got home, she looked at Li Yaoguo who was lying on the rocking chair and waving a cattail fan, and became angry instantly.

"Lie down, lie down, lie down in one day, there is no rice in the house, and I don't work hard to make money."

Li Yaoguo on the reclining chair looked depressed, how could any fire burn me.

When you go to bed that night.

Li Duoyu stopped fussing, but told Zhou Xiaoying: "Tomorrow, I will go to the county to find my uncle, and I may go to Shangfeng Town. Is there anything I want to buy?"

"How long are you going?"

"Maybe two or three days. I've already told my parents. You should eat with them first these few days."

"I have everything at home, and there seems to be nothing to buy."

After hearing this sentence, Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, what is there at home?
Except for the three-purpose machine that Li Duoyu used to dance disco in the past, there is really nothing in the house, which can even be described as a bare house.

The only dressing table was given to her when the family separated, and the second sister-in-law looked down on it.

In the past two years, selling goods has been prevalent. Some of the earliest people on the island have TVs and small refrigerators at home. Even Agui's family has a Toshiba washing machine.

Even the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua wears imported fabrics, and his wife has only four sets of clothes in total, and they have been wearing them for several years. The latest set was bought the year they got married.

This woman is really sensible and makes people feel distressed.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but turned over and hugged her, only to find that there was no such little pillow in the way tonight.

Comrade Xiaoying, the revolution has not yet succeeded, how can you be so careless!

"What are you doing?" Zhou Xiaoying exclaimed.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll just rub it."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed helplessly. They are legal couples who have obtained the certificate. It seems that there is nothing they can do about things like this:

"Be careful when you go to the county town. Look at the things you know. It's not like our village. There are pickpockets everywhere. If you stay in a hotel, you must lock the door."

"Understood, let's go to bed quickly."

"How can I sleep if you do this?"

Zhou Xiaoying was upset by him, but after a while, she heard the sound of even breathing. The person who was playing tricks just now fell asleep as soon as she said she was asleep.

May be too tired.

Today, I helped my father knock oysters, and asked my mother for Xiao Hai, and even accompanied her to print papers after school.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help being moved, and moved her body involuntarily towards Li Duoyu, but she didn't move a lot, because she was really afraid of waking him up.

The next day, Li Duoyu unexpectedly went to bed late.

When she woke up, Zhou Xiaoying had already gone to class, and a breakfast was left for him on the table.

The second elder has already prepared things and is waiting for him.There are 10 catties of dried salted fish, 10 catties of dried sea oysters, and more than a dozen cooked fish made of Balang fish.

And Chen Huiying looked at the Li Duoyu in front of her, wearing toad mirrors and carrying an imported leather travel bag, with a trendy look.

"It's so chaotic outside, if you carry such a good bag, you will definitely be missed by thieves, so hurry up and change it."

After finishing speaking, Chen Huiying dug out a large green canvas bag from home.

"And take off those sunglasses, go to your uncle to do something, keep a low profile and know if you have it, do it if you need it, don't cause trouble to your uncle."

"I know, I know."

Li Duoyu, who had been remodeled, boarded the only passenger boat on Dandan Island with bags on his back.

Passenger ships run only once a day.

The deck is filled with all kinds of seafood, and there are also all kinds of dry goods on the aisle, as well as those carrying all kinds of chickens and ducks, and those who smoke directly. The whole cabin has all kinds of indescribable smells.

Not only did Li Duoyu feel no displeasure with this taste, but he kind of missed it, because in later generations, after the Dandan Island bridge was passed, this kind of scene would never be seen again.

After about half an hour on the boat, we arrived at the Qingkou Wharf on the opposite side of the island. As soon as we got off the boat, there were many young people selling tapes and watches gathered around, yelling.

"Ms. Deng's new tape, would you like a piece?"

"The brand-new imported plum watch is fully automatic and better than the one in Shanghai."

"Radio, calculator, do you want it?"

In this day and age, this kind of gangsters usually have two jobs, and they will deliberately squeeze into the crowd when everyone is carrying big bags and small bags and they are inconvenient to move.

However, the risk of doing this business is also very high. If you are caught, you will not be as talkative as the later generations, and you will really be beaten to death.

During the movement of the dock.

Li Duoyu touched the "three hands" and reached into his pocket, took out a few things, and stuffed them into his pocket with lightning speed.

Li Duoyu didn't stop him.

Instead, he smiled happily, because it was the paper that was printed badly in the test paper yesterday, and Li Duoyu also wrote two cursing characters on it.

I just don't know if these three hands can understand without any education.

After leaving the pier.

Li Duoyu got on the small bus to the county seat, and after sitting for about half an hour, he arrived at the bus station in the county seat, and then spent [-] cents for a rickshaw to take him to the gate of Lianjiang County Fisheries Research Institute.

In the early 80s, generally only important units and some privileged classes had fixed telephones.

If you want to find someone at this time, you must either write a letter in advance, or just like Li Duoyu, go directly to the door of his unit and tell the security guard who you are looking for.

"Master, can you call Chen Dongqing for me?"

When asking, Li Duoyu handed the uncle a pack of imported cigarettes by the way, and the uncle didn't hesitate to put it in his trouser pocket.

The experience in his previous life told him, never underestimate the janitor of the unit, because he might be a relative of the leader.

If I really engage in farming in the future, I can't avoid dealing with the Fisheries Research Institute, so it is even more necessary to build a good relationship.

"Young man, if you want to join our unit, you need a letter of introduction. If you're just looking for Chen Dongqing, I can give you a message, but I don't know if he's free."

"By the way, what is your name and what is your relationship with Chen Dongqing?"

"My name is Li Duoyu, and Chen Dongqing is my uncle. My mother asked me to give him something."

"Okay, you fill in a form when you come here, and I'll help you out."

"Okay, thank you sir."
