In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 4 Father and Son (seeking further investment)
Around 07:30, it was completely dark.

At this time, two figures appeared in the courtyard of the stone house carrying two baskets full of oysters.

After seeing the figures of the two clearly.

Li Duoyu froze in place, especially the middle-aged man who already had a lot of gray hair, an unspeakable emotion was brewing uncontrollably.

In the last life, his father had worked hard for most of his life, he was the one who loved him the most, and he was the one who worried him the most.

Before leaving, I was still asking my elder brother: How is Duoyu doing in the island country?

As a result, Li Duoyu was afraid of being deported, so he couldn't come back to see him off for the last time.

Thinking about it, it was really unfilial.

Seeing that the second elder was carrying such a heavy oyster, Li Duoyu hurried forward to help pour out the oysters in the basket.

However, the warm reunion scene did not last for a while before it was interrupted by the sharp voice of the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua.

"Li Yaoguo, can't you be a little promising?"

"As far as your job as an accountant in the village is concerned, you can only live for half an hour a day. Look at his uncle, how hardworking and shrewd he is. A trip to the sea can cover his wages for a year or two."

Seeing the second son Li Yaoguo being reprimanded by his daughter-in-law again.

The second elder was also full of helplessness. The reason why they came back so late was because they didn't want to hear this daughter-in-law talk about it.

Looking at the cowardly second child, Lao Li was also furious. What he regrets the most in his life so far is that he failed to stop the second child's marriage at the beginning.

Hearing that the second sister-in-law was going crazy there, Li Duoyu also had a headache, so why don't you hate me.

After the second elder arrived home, A Niang went directly to the kitchen to light a fire to cook, while Lao Li took out the shredded tobacco that he carried with him and wrapped a hand-rolled cigarette in rolling paper.

After a few puffs.

Looking at Li Duoyu who was still grinning stupidly, he asked casually, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Eat." Li Duoyu smiled.

"I don't know how to eat it. Save some for us. There is a big ship coming today, why didn't you go out?"

"It may not be sold in the future."

Unexpectedly, just after Li Duoyu finished speaking, the second sister-in-law rushed out of the room and looked at him in surprise:
"Duoyu, you don't really want to sell the goods, do you?"

Seeing the shocked and nervous expression of the second sister-in-law, Li Duoyu was really a little confused.

"Don't go."

Li Duoyu replied clearly.

The second sister-in-law who got the exact answer became anxious:

"Duoyu, you can't do this. Once you make money, you don't care about your second brother."

"When we separated, Xiaoying's dressing table was given to her by me, and when you built this stone house when you were young, your second brother helped build it. Logically speaking, half of the apartment you live in now belongs to your second brother."

Li Duoyu now understood why the second sister-in-law turned on the lecture mode as soon as his parents came back. It turned out that the words were intended for him.

The purpose was to let him take his second brother to "sell goods", but when he heard that he was no longer in this business, he jumped in an instant, and then rushed out.

In the previous life, if the second sister-in-law was such a mess, Li Duoyu would definitely go back.

But Li Duoyu, who is actually 60 or [-] years old, understands that he can't reason with this kind of woman, so he should use all his firepower.

But when he was about to start spraying, Lao Li, who was smoking a hand-rolled cigarette, was the first to go crazy:

"Enough is enough, you can't talk well, you have to make trouble every time."

See Lao Li training her.

Zhu Xiuhua, who was jumping, pointed the gun at him instead.

"Father, you can't be so partial. You think I don't know. When the family separated, although you didn't give the fourth brother any money, you secretly gave Xiaoying a lot. We didn't say anything. The fourth child can make money now. Maybe it's because of the money you gave back then."

"That's my bride price for Xiaoying, don't you have it too?"

"Xiaoying's parents are long gone. They were raised by our family when they were young. There is no need for a bride price. You clearly gave the money to the fourth child on purpose."

Zhou Xiaoying, who was preparing for the lesson, was confused by her second sister-in-law. After hearing the words related to herself, she silently put down her pen.

Lao Li was so angry with this daughter-in-law that he coughed.

In the kitchen, Mother Li, who was holding a cooking shovel, really wanted to rush out and teach this daughter-in-law a lesson.

This time, Li Duoyu couldn't bear it anymore, she said anyone would do it, even her sensible wife said, she patted the table on the spot and said:

"Since we want to do the calculation so clearly, it's fine, then we'll do the calculation, and you spit out the big brother's share first."

Li Duoyu's sudden anger startled Zhu Xiuhua, but he saw neighbors coming out to watch the play.

Instead of restraining himself, Zhu Xiuhua shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, come and comment."

Seeing his wife being ashamed there, his second brother Li Yaoguo, who was usually cowardly to death, hurriedly dragged her back: "Don't embarrass me anymore, go home quickly."

When Li Yaoguo pulled her, he hit her several times.

"If it weren't for your uselessness, I would need to be so embarrassing."

Cursing and cursing, Zhu Xiuhua cried aggrievedly instead, as if everyone united to bully her.

After a farce ended.

The neighbors who were onlookers also dispersed, and Lao Li smoked the remaining cigarettes in one gulp, exhaustion written all over his face.

There are many children, and there are many troubles.

There was trouble before the separation, but after the separation, it was still trouble.

Fortunately, the fourth child didn't lose his temper tonight, otherwise it would be another restless night.

Old Li glanced at Li Duoyu:

"Your mother begged for Xiaohai today and caught some small seafood and sea melon seeds. If you have nothing to do tonight, would you like to have a drink together?"

"Then I'll get the wine."

Li Duoyu said with a smile.

Lao Li nodded: "Take a better one, I know if you have one."

"Got it, I promise to treat Comrade Li well."

Li Duoyu went home and dug out a bottle of Red Star Moutai from the kitchen.

Although a bottle of Moutai at this time costs 8 yuan, it is much more difficult to deal with than in the previous life. You can't buy it with money, you have to buy it with a ticket.

Some time ago, when Li Duoyu was buying Yuan Datou outside, there happened to be a calculator that a townsman wanted to import. Li Duoyu sold him the one he was carrying with him in exchange for two Moutai tickets.

He and Agui had already drank one bottle, and the one at home was the last one.

Seeing Li Duoyu take out Moutai, Lao Li couldn't help grunting twice. Although he had never seen it before, he had often heard its advertisements on the radio.

Moutai is not only a wine for state banquets, but also the favorite baijiu of great men. I didn’t expect that after working hard for most of my life, I finally got to drink this kind of wine with my son.

Lao Li shouted to his wife who was busy in the kitchen:

"Huiying, stir-fry the sea melon seeds until fragrant, put more oil, I want to have a good drink with the fourth child today."

After unscrewing the bottle cap.

The aroma of Moutai filled the whole house in an instant, and Lao Li took a few sips: "Sure enough, good wine is fragrant."

Li Duoyu also thinks this Moutai is very fragrant, but he is really ashamed to say it. In his previous life, he never drank the bottle of Moutai except for the one he drank with Agui.

When the food was served, the father and son had already drank more than half of the Moutai. The two of them had a glass for each other. After a few drinks, their eyes were all red, as if they were people with a story.

Drink half a catty of white wine.

Old Li hiccupped.

"Being a fisherman doesn't make any money now. If you don't sell goods, what do you plan to do in the future?"

After drinking, Li Duoyu, whose cheeks were flushed, thought for a while and replied, "Maybe I will do some kelp farming first."

Hearing that kelp was going to be raised, Lao Li was stunned for a moment: "It's not that this thing doesn't make money. A few years ago, some people raised it on our island, but in the end they all died in the sea and lost a lot of money."

"Father, now the breeding technology has made a breakthrough."

Lao Li really didn't believe it: "I don't think it's reliable. If you really want to start farming, I'll leave the few acres of sea oysters at home to you."

"Forget it, if you really give me the few acres of sea oysters, the second sister-in-law will not fight with me."

Li Duoyu cleaned up the sea melon seeds in the basin, and then shouted to the mother in the kitchen: "After a while, I'm going to find my uncle, do you have anything to bring to him?"

Mother is a very old-fashioned woman. Once the men in the family drink, she usually does not sit at the same table, but eats by herself with a bowl.

Chen Huiying in the kitchen, after hearing this, thought for a while and replied: "Our family doesn't have anything good for him. If you want it, just bring him some dried fish, dried sea oysters, and dried cuttlefish."

"Got it, mother."

When Lao Li saw that Li Duoyu went to see his uncle and knew how to bring some souvenirs, he was immediately relieved, and his anger towards his daughter-in-law dissipated a lot.

The kid Li Duoyu seemed to have grown up overnight. He was no longer the worrying kid, but the afro, which made people look very uncomfortable.

"By the way, before you go to see your uncle, shave your hair, otherwise you won't even be able to enter the gate of the research institute."

"Got it, I'll shave my head tomorrow."

　Save this poor newcomer, I hope you will take pity on me.
