In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 282 Bird's Mouth Reef

After working all night, when Li Duoyu returned home, Zhou Xiaoying had just made breakfast. To his slight surprise, the breakfast turned out to be ginger shredded duck porridge.

It seems that another duck did not survive this winter.

"Wash your face quickly and warm yourself up while the porridge has just come out of the pot."

After Li Duoyu washed his face and ate two bowls of duck porridge, his whole stomach and person felt warm.

Zhou Xiaoying asked a little worriedly: "You didn't come back to sleep last night, so the eel didn't have much of a problem, right?"

"No."

"That's good, go to bed quickly."

Li Duoyu filled a basin of hot water, wiped his body clean, and then lay down on the bed.

As soon as he lay down, little Tutu crawled over excitedly and shouted in a sweet voice: "Daddy~"

He stretched out his hand and pointed at his chin. Li Duoyu instantly understood what the kid wanted to do and put his chin close to it.

Little Tutu likes to touch Li Duoyu's beard recently, and his hands are a bit strong recently. Once he is allowed to grab the longest ones, he will
"It hurts."

"Be gentle, don't use so much force, okay?"

Seeing this behind the scenes, Zhou Xiaoying smiled: "It's Chinese New Year. I need to shave my beard well. It's getting longer and longer."

"You don't understand this. Let me grow a beard and a beard. This will make me appear more mature. This will save those old men from treating me like a child."

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Duoyu was still the village director of this village. She saw that little Tutu kept tugging on Li Duoyu's beard.

Zhou Xiaoying picked him up and said softly: "Your father doesn't have much beard to begin with. If you catch him again, you will lose him."

After that, he said to Li Duoyu: "You should sleep well. I will take him out for a walk twice so that I won't disturb you."

"In the past two days, people are saying goodbye and setting off firecrackers everywhere. Be careful not to scare Tutu."

"I know, go to bed quickly. Why do you look more and more like my mother-in-law? The east is worried and the west is worried."

Li Duoyu was really tired after working hard all night because of the eel thing last night. He fell asleep not long after he lay down on the bed.

But I slept for less than five hours.

I was woken up by the continuous sound of firecrackers in the village.

After waking up, he looked at the wall clock and saw that it was already twelve noon. He remembered that he would go fishing with Chen Wenchao in the afternoon.

Li Duoyu scratched his scalp, then got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face. When he arrived at the yard, he saw that his mother had prepared a lot of dry goods.

"Mom, what are you doing with so much dry goods? We can't finish the food at home, so why are you still buying it?"

Chen Huiying gave him a disgusted look: "Tutu's birthday party is coming soon. Buy things early to save money. By then, everyone is celebrating the festival and you won't have to buy anything if you want."

"Why are you so anxious? There are still more than ten days left before your first birthday."

"Alas." Chen Huiying sighed: "More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. You are all so busy. Anyway, I will take care of this matter, so you don't have to worry."

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while, turned around and returned to the house, took out thirty large sheets and stuffed them into A Niang's hand.

"What are you doing?"

Aniang handed the money back on the spot: "Your father and I still have money, we don't need you to give it."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Since we have to do it, let's do it well and treat our relatives and friends to a meal."

Chen Huiying frowned and said, "You have been crying about poverty recently, haven't you? You gave me the money, what will happen to the eel factory?"

Li Duoyu whispered in Chen Huiying's ear: "Mom, actually, I still have a little money. I deliberately told others that I don't have money."

Chen Huiying suddenly remembered that some time ago, the relatives in Chenjiacun came to borrow money one by one.

"That's good. Anyway, you must remember that wealth is not revealed, and you don't know it."

"Got it, mother."

After brushing his teeth, Li Duoyu had a simple lunch and asked his mother-in-law, "By the way, where did Xiaoying and Tutu go? Why didn't they come back for lunch?"

"Xiaoying should be at Shanshan's house. They've been together a lot lately. I don't know what they're doing."

Li Duoyu muttered something: "What else can women do when we are together?"

"Then I'll leave first. I'll go fishing in the afternoon. I might come back later in the evening. You don't have to wait for me to have dinner with you."

"You didn't even sleep last night, why did you have to leave just after you woke up? It's almost the Chinese New Year, can you take a rest?"

"Hehehe, I haven't caught fish for a long time, and I plan to catch the last net of this year. This is what we call a beginning and an end."

"By the way, did you see your brother when you went to Rongcheng yesterday? Did he say whether he wanted to come back this year to celebrate the New Year?"

"I didn't say anything, but he and my sister-in-law have received their certificates and should be back."

"That's good. It's so cold. Wear more clothes and don't catch a cold. Do you understand?"

"understood."

Chen Huiying frowned. These children have been shouting all day long, but they haven't listened to a word.

This year, the eldest brother may not come back, the fifth child has not sent a telegram back, and the third child has been married for six years and has to spend the New Year at her in-laws' house.

When will this family be able to gather people together and have a good time?

When Li Duoyu arrived at the pier, he found that Chen Wenchao was already waiting for him there, and Liu Xiaolan, who was pregnant, was also standing beside him. "Xiaolan, how many months have you been here?"

Liu Xiaolan touched her belly and replied: "Brother Yu, it's been more than six months."

"It's so fast. In three months, Xiao Chao will also be a father."

"Well, it's all thanks to Brother Yu."

While they were chatting, two brothers were sorting their fishing nets on a diesel sampan boat in the fishing port.

Zhao Erniu looked at the smiling Liu Xiaolan and couldn't help but sigh: "In a blink of an eye, Xiaolan's has become so big."

Zhao Dahai said: "It's none of your business to have a big belly. There's nothing to feel sorry for."

"Of course. When her child is born, you will be thirty and I will be 27."

After hearing this, Zhao Dahai felt bad. If he couldn't find a wife after thirty years on the island, he would definitely be laughed at and said to be a bachelor.

Zhao Dahai said seriously: "Don't think so much. Let's make more money. If it doesn't work, we won't marry someone from our village, but marry someone from Chenjia Village."

Zhao Erniu nodded and said: "Brother, I think so too, but I heard from people in the town that it seems that you can marry a mainland woman with only 500 yuan, and she is also very beautiful."

Zhao Dahai patted Zhao Erniu's head on the spot: "Don't mess around. Those women are all abducted, and it's against the law. Do you know? And I've also heard that many of those abducted women are illegal." There is something wrong with the brain, and the children born will be mentally retarded."

Zhao Erniu touched his head and frowned: "Your uncle knows more than I do. Have you understood it before?"

Zhao Dahai smiled.

"How is that possible? Anyway, let's not cause any more trouble to Brother Yu. If something happens again, I'll be too embarrassed to see anyone. I'll just jump into the sea."

"Yes, it's better for us to be more stable. By the way, brother, there are two widows in Chenjiacun who are pretty good-looking. Do you want to give them a try?"

"Why are you so full of crooked ideas?" After Zhao Dahai finished scolding, he asked in a blink of an eye, "Are you familiar with them? Do those two widows have any children?"

"There must be, otherwise she must have remarried, how could she still be single?"

"How old is the child?"

"There is a seven-year-old and a four-year-old. How about we find a matchmaker first and go to Chenjia Village to find out more about them."

Zhao Dahai thought for a while: "Forget it, our brothers just borrowed so much money to buy this diesel engine. We should make money first and pay back the borrowed money."

"That's right. Shall we go to Xijia Reef in the afternoon?"

"We won't go. Those turtles are following us secretly. There are people there now. We have a diesel engine now, so we can catch fish farther away."

After Li Duoyu started the sampan, he took Chen Wenchao to the fishing raft and brought more than 1000 meters of bottom-sinking net.

By the way, I took Erbaifu, who looked a little depressed, on the sampan boat and made him jump up and down with joy.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, all the fishing boats on Dandan Island are out, and the offshore waters are full of large and small fishing boats.

Li Duoyu's sampan had not sailed far when he heard someone shouting and gesturing.

"There are many fish, I put a floating net there, you drive to the left, otherwise you will get caught in the net."

Li Duoyu drove a distance to the left and found that two or three sampans were parked nearby and gestured towards him.

It seems that there is also a network here.

Because we came out late, all the good places to catch valuable fish were taken away by other fishermen.

Li Duoyu originally wanted to go to Dongjia Reef, which is farther away, but he didn't expect that after getting there, there were more fishing boats, with three layers inside and three outside, all filled with sticky nets and rows of hooks.

Chen Wenchao said: "Brother Yu, how about we go to La Liga and give it a try?"

"No need, Zhao Dahai has been arrested there for so long, someone must have discovered him, and there must be a lot of people there now."

For the first time, Li Duoyu felt that there was still competition in fishing. In such a large sea area, there was not even a suitable place to set a net.

He thought carefully and then said: "Let's go, I will take you to a good place where no one will go offline."

"Brother Yu, where are you going?"

"When you arrive, you will know."

Li Duoyu started the diesel engine and the fishing boat sailed towards Chenjiacun, almost an hour later.

The fishing boat stopped on the vast sea. By looking at the mountains in the distance, Chen Wenchao could roughly calculate that it was about [-] kilometers away from Dandan Island.

But not long after.

Chen Wenchao noticed that the sea was not empty at the moment. It was located one meter away from the sampan boat.

There is a small reef, which is almost entirely in the sea. When the waves hit, a little bit is exposed, and it looks like a bird's beak.

Chen Wenchao widened his eyes and said, "Brother Yu, is this Bird's Mouth Reef?"

"Ah."

Li Duoyu nodded. The fishermen hated Bird's Mouth Reef even more than Xijia Reef, because this reef is a hidden reef and cannot be seen unless you look closely.

If a fishing boat is not careful, it will hit it directly, which will most likely cause the hull to break and capsize.

Anyone who goes out to sea to fish hates this reef, but since it has not been exposed to the sea all year round, no one knows where it is.

Some fishermen even claim that the Bird's Mouth Reef is magical. Some even old people say that the Bird's Mouth Reef is alive and can move around.
