In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Li Duoyu returned home.

Aniang was basking in the sun in the courtyard with little Tutu in her arms. The winter sun was warm and felt very comfortable on her body.

Auntie is holding a bi (a very thin bamboo comb) in her hand and is carefully combing little Tutu's hair to check if there are any head lice.

This kind of grate is very thin and can comb the head lice out of the hair. People usually kill the lice directly with their nails.

Then check whether there are lice eggs on the hair. If there are any, use two nails to crush them.

If it is a lice egg that has not hatched, there will be an obvious "exploding" feeling when you squeeze it open with your nails. If it is a lice egg that has hatched, it will be softer.

Seeing this heartwarming scene in front of him, Li Duoyu dug into his pocket out of habit, wanting to take a photo of this scene.

But after digging around for a while, I realized that there was no such thing as a mobile phone in this era.

Alas, it seems that I have to buy a film camera when I have time. After his parents left in his previous life, Li Duoyu found that there were no photos of the two elders at home, not even a family photo.

This also became a big regret for him.

Xiao Tutu, who had been suppressed by A Niang for a long time, was already impatient and his body kept twisting and turning.

After seeing Li Duoyu, he immediately felt aggrieved, stretched out his hands toward him, and looked like he was about to cry: "Baba~~"

Li Duoyu smiled and said:
"Tutu, dad is back."

Li Duoyu walked towards him with a smile, and said to his mother who was still looking for head lice with a grate: "There is no need to look for it. Our house is cleaned every now and then. There must be no lice on little Tutu's head."

Chen Huiying gave him a disgusted look: "You are the one who knows the least about our family. If there are lice, you must have brought them back."

"I take a shower every day, so I have to wash my hair two or three times a week, okay?"

"It's almost there."

"Mom, you can rest for a while. I'll go play with little Tutu."

Although she is only one year old, little Tutu can already understand some words. When she hears the word "play", her eyes open very wide.

He immediately struggled hard.

Seeing little Tutu struggling, Chen Huiying sighed, then handed her good grandson into Li Duoyu's hands and said:
"It's been very windy recently, so don't take him to the beach, and don't feed him random food, especially melon seeds and sugar. You have to be careful about what other people feed him, and don't know if they know it."

"understood."

Li Duoyu picked up little Tutu and gently touched his hand with his beard.

Little Tutu let out a milky laugh and grabbed Li Duoyu's beard hard.

"hey-hey."

"I didn't expect it. Your father and I went to town today and shaved my beard clean. I can't pick it off anymore."

Little Tutu couldn't pull his beard, his mouth bulged, a little unhappy, and he scratched Li Duoyu's chin vigorously.

"You son of a bitch."

"How dare you tickle your dad at such a young age."

Seeing Li Duoyu's expression of pain, Xiao Tutu let out a sweet laugh.

"How dare you laugh, see if I don't poke you."

Li Duoyu gently "retaliated" on Xiao Tutu with his beard scum.

Little Tutu was also afraid of his stubbly beard. She kept hiding here and there, pushing him with her hands, and even pinched Li Duoyu's nostrils with her fingers.

Seeing the father and son having a great time there, Chen Huiying gave her a slap in the face.

"You went to the town committee today. Is what happened in Shangqi Village true?"

"It's true." Li Duoyu nodded.

Chen Huiying frowned: "Why is the beginning of this year so bad? Fortunately, you are engaged in breeding and don't have to go to the sea all day."

"By the way, little Tutu will be one year old tomorrow. No matter how much you have to do, you have to know it at home."

After Aniang reminded her, Li Duoyu realized that little Tutu would be one year old tomorrow.

He remembered that it was the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, but because he was busy with various things after the new year, Li Duoyu forgot about the day.

"Mom, are you not having any drinks this time?"

Chen Huiying nodded: "If Mazu doesn't agree, we won't do it."

"Okay, let's just have a simple meal at home."

Originally, Chen Huiying was planning to hold a banquet for Xiao Tutu's first birthday party and entertain relatives and neighbors.

But with so many things happening in the first month of the year, my son also participated in the rescue and was considered a relevant person.

The old Liu family had just finished their chores.

Chen Huiying had no choice but to ask Mazu about whether to serve wine.

As a result, I was asked several times.

There is no "holy grail".

Chen Huiying originally planned to ask Duoyu and Xiaoying again, but if the young people insisted, she would not stop them.

But as soon as the incident in Shangqi Village came out, Chen Huiying decided not to do anything about it.

What a bad start to the year.

Fortunately, those with red turtle, brown sugar and noodles have already been distributed to neighbors and relatives.

"By the way, Aniang, you must have a baby's birthday when you are one year old. Have you prepared the things for baby's baby? If not, I will go find someone else to borrow them."

"When you are ready, there will be no time. Shanshan's family has these things. Xiaoying has already told her that I have prepared the red cloth."

"You guys are still reliable." Li Duoyu played with little Tutu in the courtyard for a while, then hugged him and sneaked into the small room at the end.

Knocked on the wooden door.

But no one in the room responded. Li Duoyu said: "Sister, it's me, Duoyu."

After hearing the sound.

Only then did Li Shuihua dare to open the door.

The light in the room was very dim, and a small desk lamp was on.

Originally, Xiaorong's room had a wooden window with a desk underneath, but not far from the window, there was someone else's courtyard.

Li Shuihua, who was afraid of being discovered, didn't dare to fully open the window at all, and only dared to open a small gap to let in some air.

After entering the house and seeing my sister.

Li Duoyu suddenly felt distressed. Sister A's face was not very good. It had only been ten days and she already looked very haggard.

Maybe because of eating and sleeping all day long, my whole face feels swollen.

Li Duoyu looked around the room. In this era without mobile phones, being locked up in a small room like this felt worse than being in prison.

Li Duoyu brought her a lot of comic books, but Sister A was illiterate and couldn't understand many words, so he couldn't relieve her boredom at all.

After Li Shuihua saw Xiao Tutu, she was so happy that she almost shed tears, but she only dared to whisper:
"Come here, let me give you a hug."

These days, grandma will also come to visit grandma with little Tutu in her arms. Little Tutu is not very afraid of grandma.

Moreover, Ajie has raised two children and knows how to coax them. Little Tutu smiled happily not long after being in her arms.

"Sister, how about I ask Xiaoying to teach you how to knit a sweater?"

Hear knitting.

Li Shuihua became interested instantly, but then she frowned: "But is Xiaoying free? I'm so stupid, what if I can't learn?"

Li Duoyu was silent for two seconds.

It seems that this is really the case. Sister A belongs to the martial arts style, and needlework is really not suitable for her.

"Let's try it first. I heard that it takes a long time to knit a sweater. Maybe you only need to knit a few sweaters to last until the day you give birth."

"Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Li Duoyu sat in the room and chatted with her sister, telling her what happened recently.

She was frightened and said quickly: "Hurry up and write a letter to your brother-in-law and ask him not to go fishing in the open sea recently."

"sure, no problem."

In fact, my sister is worried about many things. Not only is the child in her belly, she is also worried about whether the two daughters at home will be bullied by her husband's family.

Although before coming to Dandan Island, she told her two daughters that they were going to work outside for half a year, but before leaving, she was really reluctant to see them crying so miserably.

In addition, the village was very patriarchal, and Li Shuihua was worried that her mother-in-law would treat her two daughters badly after her husband went to sea.

Because she gave birth to a daughter, her mother-in-law hardly helped with the care. She raised both daughters by herself, so she was very close to her daughter.

In the past, I occasionally heard her mother-in-law murmuring that she wanted to give her daughter away to someone else.

Make her angry.

When she thought of this, Li Shuihua's tears fell unconsciously.

I saw my sister suddenly crying.

Li Duoyu patted her shoulder and said, "Sister, don't worry. When I was a child, you protected me. When you grow up, I will protect you. Anyone who dares to bully you will be beaten by me."

Li Shuihua suddenly laughed.

"Okay, you have a future now."

"That's right, no matter how bad your brother is, he is still a village director. Everyone has to think carefully before bullying him again."

"This is called someone from my mother's family."

Li Shuihua smiled happily. To be honest, she had not been very happy during the past years of marriage, but after hearing these words, she instantly became strong again.

"Okay, sister, I'll just rely on you this time."

"It's okay to do it ten times."

"By the way, Xiaorong will be back in two days. She is now a resident doctor in a large hospital. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you can ask her directly."

As soon as she heard that Xiaorong was coming back, Li Shuihua frowned: "When she comes back and sees that I have a big belly again, will she scold me to death?"

Li Duoyu nodded seriously.

"Be mentally prepared, she will definitely scold you, and be mentally prepared to be lectured by her."

"what"

Li Duoyu chatted with Sister A for more than an hour, until Xiaoying's call came from the yard.

"Duoyu, where did you take Tutu?"

After hearing the sound.

Li Shuihua quickly said: "Xiaoying is looking for a child, please send Tutu back to her quickly."

"Then I'll leave first and come back to accompany you when I have time."

"You don't have to stay with me all the time. Come and see me occasionally and chat with me. I'll be very happy."
