In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Li Duoyu sat down with President Ou and had a serious discussion about cooperation.

That night.

President Ou placed an order for more than 20,000 grilled eels. When the time comes, after Li Duoyu is grilled, he will call a ship to pick up the goods.

At the same time, President Ou is also very interested in Li Duoyu's large dried oysters, but what he most wants to cooperate with Li Duoyu is the abalone breeding project.

Some people also farm abalone here on Hong Kong Island, but they are all local green abalone and nine-hole abalone, and their taste is not as good as those imported from island countries.

He is very interested in the abalone farming project in the south and north mentioned by Li Duoyu. Unfortunately, Li Duoyu is now focusing on shrimp and eel farming and has no plans to get involved in the abalone industry in the past few years.

President Ou discovered that this young man was really bad. After drawing a big pie, he successfully whetted his appetite, but said he didn't want to do it for the time being.

President Ou sighed: "Director Li, if you have any plans to do it, remember to ask me for investment. When the time comes, I will borrow a boat from the shipping king of Hong Kong Island to help you complete the abalone transshipment."

"No problem, we will contact you when the time comes."

Time passed very quickly, and before they knew it, Li Duoyu and the others had been in Hong Kong Island for more than a week, and all the things that the organization should do had been completed.

The organization has decided to take the Gulangyu Island boat back to Ludao tomorrow afternoon.

Under the leadership of the organization and President Ou, Li Duoyu successfully signed a contract with the equipment factory.

Unexpectedly, when the equipment purchase contract was signed, it was all in English, including the product manual.

Zhou Xiaoying complained several times that she didn't use the English she learned, but she didn't expect that she actually put it to use here.

The equipment is not available immediately. It will take almost three months before it is sent to Shangfeng Town.

Therefore, within these three months, he must put the construction of Qixing Bay on the agenda and strive to have the shrimp farming base built by the time the equipment arrives.

April and May are the breeding season for local prawns. If everything goes well, we might as well be able to raise the prawns directly this year.

Except for the Seven Star Bay side.

Li Duoyu also purchased a set of water circulation and temperature control equipment for the eel factory on Dandan Island.

This is Li Duoyu's plan. From now on, the eel factory on Dandan Island will only be responsible for cultivating eel seedlings.

There is also an eel factory in Qixing Bay to cultivate eels. If the Haixin eel factory does not make a breakthrough in technology and cannot persist, that would be even better. In that case, he would not mind taking over.

Li Duoyu made a simple calculation and found that if he took over the Haixin Eel Factory, he would be able to save at least hundreds of thousands of infrastructure costs.

This trip to Hong Kong Island can be said to be full of rewards, and the biggest reward is these equipment.

Of course, we also found Zhou Xiaoying’s relatives. Before leaving Hong Kong Island, relatives like Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying had a meal together at home and took a photo together.

Zhou Xiaoying's grandma was completely reluctant to let Zhou Xiaoying go back. Li Duoyu was busy these days. Whenever Zhou Xiaoying was free, she would go to her cousin Zhou Zhenshun's shop to help and chat with this deaf old lady.

But the old lady never left Zhou Shiqing's side, saying that he was unfilial and didn't even reply to his hometown or send a single letter.

Zhou Xiaoying felt very uncomfortable every time she heard the old lady talk about her father. After so many years, she thought she could let go of her father long ago.

But when I think about it, my parents have been gone for so many years, and I can't help but cry.

Among the relatives, no one who knew about it dared to tell the old lady that the old Sanshi Shiqing was gone.

Although the old lady is a bit deaf now, when she was young, she was a singer and a musician.

When talking about this past incident, the uncle was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This was the reason why they were unwilling to go back even if they made money.

After Zhou Xiaoying heard this, her eyes instantly turned red. Although everyone is doing well now, in those days, her relatives were really miserable.

If she was hit again, she might not be able to bear it, so everyone decided to hide the matter.

Zhou Xiaoying also told a white lie: "Nai, my father has gone to work somewhere far away now, and he only comes back after a long time."

The old lady said angrily: "It really hasn't changed at all. She has been running around since she was a child."

"By the way, where is your mother?"

Zhou Xiaoying was silent for a while, then smiled slightly and said, "My mother also went with us."

"Oh, I haven't even met this daughter-in-law yet. Tell your father later and ask him to bring your mother to Hong Kong Island so that I can meet her."

"Okay, tits."

Before leaving Hong Kong Island, the old lady bought a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets and gave them to Zhou Xiaoying with the 5,000 yuan originally intended for Qin Huaiyun.

"This is milk for you. Keep it well. If you have any difficulties in the mainland in the future, just write to us and tell us."

Zhou Xiaoying nodded happily. She was already very happy to find them here. What she was most afraid of was that she would never find their relatives here again.

Before leaving, Li Duoyu discovered that the business of Zhou Zhenshun's store was actually not very good, and he also noticed it when he ate their food.

It's really not that interesting, especially the rice with abalone sauce, the taste is just a bit off.

Before leaving, Li Duoyu taught them several secret seasonings. With these seasonings, it would be difficult for this store to do business well.

If Zhou Xiaoying's cousin is motivated, he might be able to open a branch soon with these ingredients.

The next day, afternoon.

The Gulangyu Island slowly sailed out of Victoria Harbor and headed towards the blue sea.

In a village far away on the outskirts of Jinling City, there is a large family who are as anxious as ants on a hot pot these days.

Several of them had panda eyes, and they had not slept well for several nights.

"Mom, how many days has it been? By this time, the overseas remittances of the Zhou family had come here a long time ago. It couldn't be in the hands of Zhang Damao. There really is the real address of the Zhou family in Hong Kong Island."

Qin Huaiyun said: "It shouldn't be possible. The last time your father invited Lao Zhang for a drink, he came up with something. The letter in his hand didn't have a detailed address at all, and it was wrong. With that address alone, he couldn't contact him at all. Less than Zhou family."

A young man in his twenties said: "Mom, is it possible that the Zhou family knew the contact information of Zhou Shiqing and contacted him directly."

"Impossible, that Zhou Shiqing is already dead."

"Dead?" After hearing this, Qin Huaiyun's sons were also very surprised: "Zhou Shi has black hair. Don't the Zhou family know that? Why do they still send money to him every year?"

Qin Huaiyun snorted: "You are stupid, how could I tell them? If they knew, the Zhou family would give us more money.

Don’t think that the Zhou family is so kind to us. Not all of the five thousand overseas remittances belong to our family. Three thousand of them are for that Zhou Shiqing. "

"So, we've been receiving dead money."

After hearing this, Qin Huaiyun stared at him on the spot: "Why are you talking? What do you mean by taking money from a dead person?"

"Anyway, you don't have to worry. As long as we don't give you the real address, that Zhou Xiaoying shouldn't be able to contact the Zhou family."

Among them was Zhang Youxian, a young man wearing fashionable clothes who said anxiously:

"Mom, will the money arrive at the end of the month? Zhu Yun and I have made an appointment. Next month we will go to watch the flag-raising, climb the Great Wall, and visit the Friendship Store in the Imperial Capital. If there is no money, I will go to Jinling. Don’t go.”

Another young man said equally anxiously: "The money I borrowed from the credit union will have to be repaid immediately this month. If I don't repay it, I might be taken to jail."

"Aniang, if this money is cut off, Xiuli will definitely go back to her parents' home and stop living with me."

Qin Huaiyun frowned: "Don't worry, let's wait. Maybe the Zhou family is just busy during this time. This has happened before."

"If the money hasn't arrived in two days, I will spend the money to send a telegram to Hong Kong Island to inquire and see what's going on."

"Mom, please post it earlier."

"We really can't survive next month."

Having said that, Qin Huaiyun has always had a bad feeling in his heart. Recently, his right eye has been twitching, and he always feels that his family's source of income is about to be cut off.

When she thought of this, she became so nervous that her palms sweated. If it really broke off, the family would probably fall apart.

The eldest daughter-in-law is definitely going to cause trouble. The third child still owes so much money to the credit union, and the second child has just been dating a partner.

His position in Jinling was bought with money, and he had to pay tribute to the leaders every year.

If this is broken.
How to live?

Here in Zhouzhuang, people are not allowed to laugh to death.

After a day and night of sailing, in the early morning of the next day, the Gulangyu Island docked at Heping Pier on Ludao Island.

Li Duoyu did not stay at Ludao, but drove his fishing boat directly back to Dandan Island.

Maybe it was because he saw his fishing boat, but the boat hadn't docked yet. Xiaopangdun, Aniang holding little Tutu, Sister Shuihua, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun were all at the dock.

Perhaps because it had been so long since she had seen her parents, little Tutu was a little surprised at first, and even couldn't react.

But when Li Duoyu opened his arms, Xiao Tutu ran directly to Zhou Xiaoying, hugged her thigh tightly and cried in grievance.

The voice is so loud that half of the pier can be heard, and no matter how much you coax it, you can't coax it.

It wasn't until Li Duoyu took out a battery-powered robot that could move, light up and make sounds that Xiao Tutu stopped crying instantly.

After seeing this robot, Xiaopangdun's eyes instantly lit up. He wanted to come over and touch it, but he didn't expect Xiaotutu to hug it directly.

"its mine."

Little Fatty smiled and said: "Tutu, just give it to my brother and give it back to you right away."

"No, it's all mine."

Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying looked at each other. The children are really growing up day by day, and now they can protect toys.

Zhou Xiaoying also bought some things for these children, including mechanical pencils and several erasers that were very easy to erase.

After returning, many relatives also came over. Li Duoyu also brought them some souvenirs and told them some things about Hong Kong Island.

Even his second uncle and eldest uncle came, and a group of people sat around the courtyard of Li Duoyu's new home, listening to Li Duoyu talk about what he saw and heard in Hong Kong Island.

The second uncle, who was smoking a dry cigarette, couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, you have been to both Hong Kong Island and the island country, which one is more powerful?"

Li Duoyu frowned slightly, and then replied: "Island countries should be more powerful."

The second uncle, who had a blood feud with the islanders, couldn't help but curse: "Damn, this little devil has developed so well, I should have invested more in it from the beginning."

But no one was very interested in the sorority organized by the organization, so they told them that Boss Huo was coming that night.

They don't understand how powerful Boss Huo is. What these people in the village are most concerned about is how much money those people who smuggled over there can earn every month on Hong Kong Island.

Li Duoyu also talked with Zhou Xiaoying's relatives, and then he realized that smuggling to Hong Kong Island was not as profitable as imagined.

"Those who have obtained the identity will have no problem earning four to five thousand per month. But if they don't have the identity, it will be difficult. It will be around two to three thousand per month."

Lao Lu frowned and said:
"It's so little, only two to three thousand per month, so we might as well raise a few more acres of kelp on our island."

Li Duoyu smiled. This was indeed true for Lao Lu. For people like him who were the first to get rich, the cost-effectiveness of smuggling was really not high.

Working so hard on Hong Kong Island may not make as much money as at home, but the option of smuggling across the border has never been reserved for the rich.

Most of them are those who have no money and cannot find a way out, so they finally take the risk and embark on the road of smuggling.

In his previous life, when Li Duoyu came out of prison, the village was still very poor. There were only one or two households with a household worth ten thousand yuan, and there were only a few boats. It was completely incomparable to what it is now.

After Li Duoyu came out that year, he did think about staying with Zhou Xiaoying and his children, but because he had been in prison, many units and factories refused to accept him.

At that time, no one was engaged in farming, and he didn’t even have a boat, so there was no way to make money on Dandan Island.

It all depends on Xiaoying's salary, and no matter what era, men will be laughed at if they can't make money.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Duoyu did not hesitate to borrow loan sharks from snakeheads and risked his life to sneak to the island country to work.

In the environment back then, many seaside people who couldn't make money had no choice at all.

On the contrary, they think that smuggling is a very glorious thing, and even after a successful smuggling, they have to celebrate by setting off firecrackers and inviting the villagers to watch a show. (End of chapter)
