In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 298 The third child, Li Shuihua

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

In the middle of the night, after Li Duoyu was woken up by Uncle Zhuang, he thought someone was going to his kelp field again to cause damage, but he didn't expect that someone actually stole the boat and left the port.

Li Duoyu thought about it. At this time, there was only one possibility to steal a boat and go to sea.

100% sold out.

Li Duoyu yawned and said, "Uncle Zhuang, if something really happens, just help Wang Jinshan testify and prove that his boat was stolen."

"what."

"That's it, why don't we chase the boat back?"

Li Duoyu's reaction made Lao Zhuang unable to react for a while.

Li Duoyu sighed: "Uncle Zhuang, I think you should go to the militia company commander Zhang Erhu first for this kind of matter."

After hearing this, Lao Zhuang realized that theft and public security matters were indeed under Zhang Erhu's control.

"Sorry, I woke you up so late at night."

Li Duoyu smiled: "No, I just fell asleep."

"Then I'll go find Erhu."

After Uncle Zhuang left, Li Duoyu's face that pretended to be sleepy suddenly became lifeless.

"It's the first time in the new year. Why are you being disturbed? I really don't want to be the village director anymore."

New Year's Day.

The pier was empty, and no fishermen went out to fish. Even the door of the supply and marketing cooperative was not opened. Everyone was playing cards and resting at home.

And on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The pier has become lively again. Son-in-laws come to visit in the second year of junior high school. Many women who have married out of town will return to Dandan Island on this day.

On this day, the eldest brother Li Jinchuan had to return to the city to visit Jiang Yuqin's parents.

Before leaving, Chen Huiying was very reluctant to leave. She prepared a lot of dried seafood for him and gave him many instructions.

The eldest brother, Li Jinchuan, had just left. Unexpectedly, the third child, Li Shuihua, who had married to the next town, came back.

Also coming back with her was Li Duoyu's brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng. They came here in their own boat and were only 10 minutes apart.

When Li Shuihua learned that her eldest brother had just left, she said with a hint of reproach: "I told you to hurry up, but you were so slow to go out that I didn't even see my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Zhang Mingsheng scratched his head: "You didn't tell me that my brother-in-law was back, otherwise I would have arrived long ago."

After meeting Li Shuihua, Li Duoyu was also very happy. Since her sister got married, she has only seen her very rarely.

The last time I saw her was when I helped cut down trees the year before last. Last year, she didn't come back because her belly was too big.

Li Shuihua is five years older than him. When Li Duoyu was bullied when he was a child, his eldest brother and second brother would turn a blind eye.

Only Li Shuihua was the most protective. Once Li Duoyu was bullied by a fat man, and her sister chased him half the island.

It wasn't until the fat man fell to the ground and suffered many scratches on his body that he was let go.

Li Duoyu remembered that later the fat man did not dare to pass by his door for fear of being beaten by Li Shuihua.

It's a pity that my sister married too early. Not long after Li Duoyu graduated from junior high school, my sister married in the next town.

After a few simple greetings, Chen Huiying looked at the third child and suddenly said seriously: "Hua, come to the room with me."

When Li Shuihua was called away.

The brother-in-law became nervous.

Li Duoyu said to his brother-in-law: "I am so nervous, maybe my sister has been wronged in your house."

Zhang Mingsheng said with a bitter look on his face: "You should know your sister's temper better than I do. How dare I bully her?"

"Too."

Li Duoyu smiled. My sister's personality is completely opposite to my father's. She is very straightforward and straightforward, and has a heroine-like demeanor.

But to be honest, my personality has changed a lot since I got married. It may have something to do with my brother-in-law and their town.

Their town was very patriarchal, but my sister gave birth to girls both times.

After Li Shuihua was called by her mother to talk, her brother-in-law kept pacing back and forth outside the door and glanced into the house from time to time.

His face was full of confusion.

After a while, Zhang Mingsheng pulled Li Duoyu aside: "Duoyu, I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing his brother-in-law's troubled expression, Li Duoyu's first thought was that he might also be here to borrow money.

But thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. My brother-in-law's family's finances are pretty good. During those days when they were working on a contract, their family chartered a big boat. Although the boat wasn't theirs, they still made a lot of money after deducting the fees paid.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that after his brother-in-law pulled him aside, instead of asking him to borrow money, he took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"

Zhang Mingsheng asked hesitantly: "It's like this. Shuihua and I plan to have another child. When the time comes, can we come to Dandan Island?"

This is already very obvious.

Li Duoyu frowned, thinking of how her mother suddenly changed her face, called her into the room, and asked:

"It's been a few months."

Seeing that he was exposed, Zhang Mingsheng said directly: "Four months ago, I drank too much, and it happened accidentally."

If you say you're not careful, that's definitely a lie.

In this era, women of childbearing age are closely watched, almost every month and every quarter, and no one is let go.

Moreover, after the second pregnancy, a sterilization is necessary. The fact that the second sister is still pregnant proves that she has not been sterilized at all, and she has avoided the three gynecological examinations every year.

Li Duoyu sighed.

Every era has its own considerations. To evaluate the present based on the experience of future generations would be hindsight, but it is not impossible.

If Ajie can avoid so many gynecological examinations, it must be relevant in their village, but pregnancy is different.

They have two children at home. If someone reports them, they will definitely not be able to escape.

But it's not that there's no other way. What's more, it's better to run back to her parents' house to give birth secretly.

As long as you marry far enough away and others don't know much about your family situation, you can still pretend to be a second child, but Director Liu will usually check it out, so the probability of being dragged away and aborted is still very high.

And those who rely on the mountains will run to the mountains to hide and survive secretly.

The situation in Digua County next door is even more exaggerated. Many people go abroad to make money, but some also go abroad to have children.

Li Duoyu said: "Don't give me this money. It's useless to give it to me. If you really want my sister to give birth on the island, take some time to find Director Liu of our village. She will take care of this matter."

The brother-in-law frowned and said, "I'm not familiar with her. What if she doesn't agree?"

Li Duoyu sighed: "This era is different from before. If you don't agree, it's probably because you don't give enough."

Brother-in-law suddenly realized: "I understand."

Li Duoyu said: "As long as she passes that test, other village cadres should not embarrass my sister.

"At that time, you and my father and mother will discuss it carefully and see how to arrange my sister, but you must be prepared to be fined."

The brother-in-law nodded and said: "I know this. As long as I can give birth to the child, I will accept the penalty no matter how much it costs." Li Duoyu thought for a while and said: "In addition to talking to Director Liu, you'd better talk to the second sister-in-law first. .”

After thinking of the second sister-in-law, Zhang Mingsheng's entire forehead wrinkled: "Actually, what I'm most afraid of is the second sister-in-law. Her mouth is so scary, Duoyu, is there anything you can do?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law's mouth is indeed a bit scary. As I said, as long as you give her enough, her mouth can be the strictest among all of us."

Zhang Mingsheng said helplessly: "I know."

Li Duoyu added: "By the way, when you give benefits to your second sister-in-law, don't give them all at once. Give them to her slowly every month."

"Well, Duoyu, thank you very much. To be honest, if you didn't support me, I would have taken your sister and run away."

At this moment, Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "Brother-in-law, if your child is still a girl, what are you going to do?"

After hearing this, the brother-in-law was stunned for a moment and sighed: "If I am still a woman, I have no choice but to accept my fate."

Li Duoyu sighed.

The economy of their town is good, but it is very patriarchal and has a lot of bad customs. If you give birth to three daughters in a row, it will be difficult for you to be a good person in the village.

The matter of giving birth to a son is actually somewhat related to family inheritance. Some families have very few boys.

For example, in the family of brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng, there are only one or two boys in almost every generation, and the more they want boys, the less they can get them.

Li Duoyu said calmly:

"Brother-in-law, if you still have a daughter, you might as well move to the island and raise eels with me."

In his previous life, his brother-in-law made a fortune by selling eels, and he suddenly ran ahead, which might have an impact on his future.

In the previous life, my sister's third child was still a girl, which caused her to be depressed for a long time.

Later, because he made money raising eels, his brother-in-law directly bought a house in the city and let them move to the city.

After moving to the city, Ajie focused on raising her children and raised all three daughters very well.

They all take the artistic route.

One has been the principal dancer of a provincial song, the other is a music teacher at the university, and the youngest one has been hanging out in Hengdian all year round and filmed many anonymous TV series.

When Li Duoyu went abroad in his previous life, his brother-in-law took good care of their family.

Back then, Xiao Tutu could not gain a foothold in Rongcheng without the help of sister Li Shuihua.

Li Duoyu said: "You guys came back late. My family has decided to buy a big boat. There are still five shares left that have not been allocated. Brother-in-law, do you want to think about it?"

"How much does one share cost approximately?"

"Five hundred per share."

The brother-in-law smiled bitterly: "Forget it then. I heard that the fine for third child is at least [-]. I'd better save some money and pay the fine when the time comes."

Li Duoyu said: "How about I help you advance this money first, and then you can pay it back to me when you have enough money."

Zhang Mingsheng thought about it for a while. His family was originally engaged in fishing boats, so they naturally knew that they could make money by building large boats.

"Okay, I'll write you an IOU."

"can."

Unlike his second brother and sister-in-law, his brother-in-law is a very trustworthy person. Li Duoyu originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, no matter how good the relationship is, money-related matters cannot be vague.

Not long after, Li Shuihua came out of A Niang's room with red eyes. Judging from the situation, she must have been scolded and cried.

I saw my sister crying.

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and some dead memories suddenly came back to life. The last time he saw her cry seemed to be ten years ago, and she cried because she was afraid of the pain of the stitches.

The reason why she got the stitches was because she helped him fight and was hit on the chin with a rock. She didn't cry even when it was bleeding, but when she got the stitches, she cried so hard.

"Sister, you must have been scolded by grandma, would you like a hug?"

Li Shuihua was instantly amused.

"Aren't you afraid? Your brother-in-law is jealous."

"Why are you jealous? You are just a couple, but we are related by blood."

Zhang Mingsheng was rendered speechless.

When Zhou Xiaoying heard this, her face darkened instantly: "Humph, so I am also an outsider, right?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and said: "We are different. We have slept on the same bed since childhood. We are closer than relatives."

"You just talk nonsense."

At this moment, Aniang called out from inside the room: "Duoyu, come in, I have something to tell you."

When Li Duoyu came to the room, he discovered that his father was also in the room, sitting there smoking a cigarette alone.

Grandma’s eyes were also red and she had cried just now.

Aniang said: "You know about your sister, right?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "My brother-in-law just told me."

Chen Huiying said: "Actually, neither your father nor I can make the decision on this matter."

"You are the village director. If your sister comes to our village, I won't be afraid that the tiles will be ripped off and the chickens, ducks and pigs will be taken away. I'm just afraid that it will affect you."

Li Duoyu smiled: "What's the point of influence? This village director was originally given to me by my uncle. If it really affects me, then I can give it back to my uncle."

Seeing the indifferent look on the fourth child's face, Lao Li scolded: "Do you think it's so easy to be a village director? You can change it if you want. I think I should take it off as soon as my belly is not too big."

"I refuse to give birth to those who should be born, and give birth to those who shouldn't be born randomly. I thought the third child was the best, but I didn't think it was a fuel-saving lamp."

Chen Huiying's anxious eyes turned red again: "It has been four months and it has already taken shape. No matter what, that is your grandson. Can't you say a few words less?"

Seeing his father's rare anger, Li Duoyu frowned. Once Lao Li got angry, it would be a bit confusing.

Li Duoyu said: "I have discussed it with Mingsheng just now. This matter does not require me to come forward and it should not affect me."

Lao Li said: "How come it won't affect us? We live in the same courtyard and you say you don't know that your sister has been hiding in our house. When the time comes, if others report it, you won't be able to escape."

Li Duoyu also thinks that Lao Li is right. For the current policy, this is an absolute high-voltage line.

But even if they didn't help Sister, they definitely wouldn't take it away, but would choose to run away, if I remember correctly.

In her previous life, when she was giving birth to a baby, my sister seemed to be running around with a big belly, and she finally gave birth on a train.

Li Duoyu also knew very well that the reason why his father opposed it so strongly was because he was worried about how it would affect him.

Li Duoyu said: "After the Lantern Festival, I plan to build a new house. I will move out before my sister gives birth. By then, it will have nothing to do with me."

Lao Li became slightly excited.

"Are you finally planning to build a house?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "The one we live in is indeed a bit small. We plan to build a two-story building."

But Lao Li was still worried.

"Are you sure this won't affect you?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "I'm not a student at Xiaoying. What influence can I have? Besides, it won't be good for the higher-ups to get rid of me because of something like this."

That night, when it was dark, Li Duoyu took his brother-in-law to Director Liu's house.
