In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 34 The Old Lady

In this era, for rural areas without mobile phones and televisions, the National Day has not changed much.

Everyone should do whatever they want.

At most, the production team repainted all the slogans painted on the walls and stones in Dandan Island.

And Li Duoyu, who always wanted to do something during the National Day, wandered aimlessly in the village. There were still people going to sea at the pier, but not many.

Several elderly grandpas and aunts sold leftovers, that is, miscellaneous fish, piled up there in baskets, for only two cents a catty.

After hearing the price.

Li Duoyu was stunned for a while, and he found that he had a familiar but strange feeling about the unit of "fen".

What is familiar is that the children's shaker in the shopping malls of later generations will pop up from time to time: "I found a penny on the side of the road" nursery rhyme.

Strangely enough, after he returned from the island country, he had never seen this kind of aluminum-magnesium alloy coin with two ears of wheat printed on it in the market again.

Now that I think about it carefully, I find that in this day and age, two cents can still buy a lot of things.

Like a box of matches.

Half a deep-fried dough stick or half a steamed bun.

Two colored sugar balls or orange petals, and three cents, you can buy an old popsicle.

There are two restaurants near the pier, selling Rongcheng beer, but the best-selling game is the game that the boss bought at a high price from the mountains.

What porcupine, pangolin, roe deer meat, and occasionally dog ​​meat.

Mountain people want to eat seafood.

And the seaside people also want to eat mountain delicacies.

Li Duoyu was walking in the village.

Unexpectedly, I came to the vicinity of the third uncle's house. At this time, the third uncle was relatively rich in the village. The courtyard not only had walls and iron gates, but also built a two-story brick house.

When Li Duoyu came to their house, he found that the iron gate of their house was locked, and a martial arts scene was being staged.

The third uncle Li Zhengfa, holding a pole in his hand, chased and beat his 20-year-old cousin Li Yujun in the yard.

The third aunt dissuaded him from the side: "If you beat him, just use a stick, or a pole. If you continue beating like this, you will really kill him."

"Go away, or I will fight you too."

Li Yujun ran upstairs and downstairs, and said while running:
"No, I lost more than 1000 to you. Our ship is big, and I can make money back if I ship the goods. Besides, I also help with the goods. The more than 1000 is my head office."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu finally knew the reason why his cousin was repaired.

Over the years, some fishermen on Dandan Island have made a lot of money by selling goods, and many fishermen have stopped working, waiting for news from the big ship every day.

When the big boat didn't come, they would gather together to play cards, mahjong, and fried golden flowers, and they all played very well.

But for those like Li Yujun, that group of gamblers is a first-class favorite.

When this group of younger brothers saw him on the island, they would often hand him cigarettes first, and take a sip of each brother Jun, and when they had almost praised him, they would drag him to play with big ones.

Remember, this is not the first time Li Yujun has lost so much money, and his gambling problem seems to have never been corrected.

Even after arriving in the beautiful country, he still hangs out with a bunch of gamblers. Once he makes money, he can't help but put it in other people's pockets.

Seeing that Li Yujun dared to talk back, the third uncle exploded on the spot, chasing and cursing:
"It's already a meeting, and you still want to sell the goods, because you think your life is too good, and you want to go to prison, don't you? Look at the many fish in the second uncle's house. They are more obedient than the Gu family now. All the money they earn is invested in kelp."

"If you have money but don't make money, then he is stupid. You still let me learn from him. By then, all the kelp will die, and you will know who is smarter."

"Even if the kelp is all dead, it's better than you gambling."

The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched outside the fence, and finally realized the helplessness of "other people's children". No wonder Xueba is lonely, because he is always made enemies inexplicably.

The fence of the third uncle's house is not high, and Li Yujun can run if he wants to. The reason why he doesn't run is very simple, he wants the key to the boat.

"Father, if you really don't want to sell the goods, give me the key to the ship. In two days, I will sell the goods with Agui and the others. After earning enough money, I will move to live in the town."

Hearing that he not only wanted the boat key, but also moved out after earning money, the third uncle was so angry that the veins on his forehead burst out, and he raised the pole high:
"Today I'll beat you to death, coffin Jane. I don't know who gave birth to it. How did you give birth to this Yaoxiu?"

Seeing that Li Zhengfa was really going to beat him, the third aunt was also frightened, and said quickly, "It's not your own species."

At this moment, an old lady wearing a blue cloth dress from the late Qing Dynasty, a black forehead, and bound feet came out of the hall with a cane.

When Li Yujun saw the old lady, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he rushed behind her: "Grandma, your son beat your precious grandson."

The old lady turned around and slapped him lightly on the head: "You are not a good person, you have lost so much gambling, you deserve the slap."

After finishing speaking, the old lady glared at the third uncle: "Why are you holding the shoulder pole so high, even I want to hit you, don't you?"

Seeing the mother on crutches coming out, the third uncle sighed and put down the carrying pole. He felt that the child was spoiled by his grandma.

"Mother, Yujun is so old, why do you still protect him like this, how do you let me teach the child."

The old lady replied:
"You used to be worse than Yujun, and I didn't beat you either. If you have something to say, you should speak carefully, and don't just take a pole at every turn."

"That's right." Li Yujun kept echoing.

Seeing that he was being protected even more arrogantly, Li Zheng's chest heaved in anger, and he couldn't help picking up the shoulder pole he had just put down.

And the third aunt saw that the smell of gunpowder was coming up again, so she hurried over and twisted Li Yujun's ear:

"Are you too bold recently? How dare you contradict your father? Don't even think about the key. Hurry up and calm down for a few days."

Under the protection of two women.

Li Yujun escaped.

But when he opened the iron gate and saw Li Duoyu standing outside, Li Yujun was taken aback for a moment, and left without saying hello.

Li Yujun really admired this cousin before, and often followed him, but now he doesn't know how to talk to him.

After the third uncle Li Zhengfa saw Duoyu, his bitter face became slightly clearer:
"Duoyu, when did you come here? I'm showing you a joke again. Come in and sit down quickly. I just need to find you."

After seeing Duoyu, the old lady didn't appear very happy, but turned around and went back to her hut without saying anything.

As for her reaction, Li Duoyu didn't show much surprise, on the contrary, she thought it was normal.

Because some unpleasant things happened between Grandma and their family.

Later, Li Duoyu went to find out.

In the early years, Xiasha Village and Chenjia Village often had "community fights", that is, fighting with weapons between the two villages, because of land and sea boundaries.

At that time, Li Duoyu had a very young fifth uncle. Because he was too hot-blooded, he rushed to the front as soon as others encouraged him, and he was beaten right away.

Li Duoyu's mother, Chen Huiying, was from Chenjia Village. At that time, their marriage was not blessed, but blocked by many people.

The one who resisted the most was this old lady with bound feet, after Lao Li decided to be with Chen Huiying.

The old lady broke the relationship between mother and child on the spot, and after that, she didn't say a word.

And all the family wealth, Yuan Datou and a few "little yellow croakers" that she secretly hid, were all distributed to the uncle and the third uncle.

As for why Grandma has so much money, Li Duoyu doesn't know. It may have something to do with his grandfather who left very early. I heard that he used to set up a chamber of commerce in Rongcheng.

Later, when he was beating the landlord, he ran away by boat.
