In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

"Zhu Xiuhua, are you crazy? How dare you hit me like this? Believe it or not, I will send you to jail." Zhou Wenlin had a ferocious face, but he didn't dare to fight back. He knew how strong Zhu Xiuhua was. If he fought back, he would probably be beaten even worse.

After being reminded by the other party, Zhu Xiuhua looked around suddenly, then patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death, luckily no one saw it."

Then he looked at the other person with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Master Zhou? Who beat you up? Why are your face bruised and blue? You are not used to this. We must go to the police station to report the case. The director here is very familiar with my brother-in-law and will definitely help you find the criminal."

Zhou Wenlin's eyes widened, and when he saw that Zhu Xiuhua didn't seem to be acting, he almost vomited blood.

But he noticed one sentence: the director here was very familiar with Li Duoyu.

This is probably not a lie. Li Duoyu is useless in Nanri Town, but he is definitely a local tyrant in Shangfeng Town.

"Master Zhou, the corner of your mouth is bleeding. Let me wipe it for you."

Seeing Zhu Xiuhua take out a handkerchief from her pocket and try to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Zhou Wenlin was so frightened that his whole body was shaking and he ran away crawling.

When he ran far enough, he turned around and shouted, "Zhu Xiuhua, remember this, this matter will never be let go. Mr. Zhang will never let you go."

Seeing that the other party had already run far away, Zhu Xiuhua shouted at him: "Master Zhou, listen to my advice, don't be stupid, if you want to run, run quickly. If that Zhang guy fails to make it, he will definitely drag you down with him."

Zhou Wenlin was stunned for a moment, then snorted, "You pig-head, you know nothing."

When Zhu Xiuhua heard the other person calling her a pig head, she became angry instantly. Her last name was Zhu, but she hated it most when people called her anything related to pigs.

"Say it again, and I'll throw you into the river."

Zhou Wenlin, who had already run far away, continued to curse: "Zhu Ganglie, crazy Zhumu (in Minnan dialect), Xiao Zhamou."

Zhu Xiuhua, with a gloomy face, picked up half a brick and threw it directly at him.

The brick brushed past his body and hit a stone nearby, breaking into pieces on the spot. Seeing this, Zhou Wenlin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and ran away, not daring to scold Zhu Xiuhua anymore.

After seeing Zhou Wenlin running away, Zhu Xiuhua snorted, "Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I've never been bullied in my life."

But when I think about it, it doesn’t seem right. I have indeed been bullied badly in Haixin in the past six months.

During the time away from Haixin, Zhu Xiuhua was very happy every day. Not only did she earn more, but Yaoguo would also give all his wages to her as soon as he got them.

In addition to the dividends from the previous big ship, she made a lot of money in the past few months since returning to Dandan Island.

Yaoguo is right. Just follow Duo Yugan carefully. Even if you are not a formal employee, you can make endless money by giving you some leftovers.

But what made her more curious was that she had just come out to the market, and Zhou Wenlin seemed to know she was coming and ran straight to the market to find her.

It feels like someone told the other party his whereabouts. If that's the case, then Mr. Zhang definitely has some secret sentries on the island.

It seems that I have to tell my brother-in-law about this matter. Based on her understanding of Zhang Sanming, this person is definitely not a good person and is capable of doing any despicable means.

The main reason she came to the market this time was that Xiao Haoran was about to enter junior high school, and Zhu Xiuhua planned to buy him a pair of better shoes first, and also buy him two sets of better clothes.

She didn't buy it in the center of the market, but came to the small street behind the market where all the doors were closed.

This small street was the most prosperous and crowded place in Shangfeng Town back then. It is said that at the most exaggerated time, hundreds of thousands of goods were sold on this street alone in a single day.

But now many shop owners are in jail. Although all the shops on this street are closed, there is an old man sitting at the door of every one or two shops basking in the sun.

The old men looked at Zhu Xiuhua for a few times, and then someone asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Zhu Xiuhua replied: "If you have children, I will give you sports shoes, clothes, and digital watches."

An old man looked around and then said to her, "Come with me, I'll show you around."

The smuggling business has apparently been killed, but it has not completely disappeared. It’s just not on such a large scale and the profits are not as high as before.

Under the guidance of the old man, Zhu Xiuhua took many turns and arrived at a private house, which was piled with a lot of goods from abroad.

"They are all here, you can choose."

Zhu Xiuhua frowned and said, "That's not right. Your clothes and shoes look a bit old. They feel like they were worn by someone else."

The old man sighed, "It's different now than before. If these things are brand new, they cost hundreds of dollars. Those Reebok and Fuding shoes cost at least several hundred dollars. How many people in our town can afford them now?
Just pick a few newer ones. If you give them to someone else as gifts, who would know that they were worn by someone else without telling them?

Also, don’t be fooled by the fact that these shoes have been worn by others. They are really very comfortable to wear, many times better than Jiefang shoes, and you will look very proud when you wear them outside.”

Zhu Xiuhua frowned and thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so she spent nearly a hundred yuan to buy a pair of relatively new sneakers and a set of fashionable clothes, and spent another fifteen yuan to buy an electronic watch.

After buying things, he ran to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pack of cigarettes and went directly to Shangfeng Middle School.

But he was stopped by the school guard on the spot. Zhu Xiuhua said in a friendly manner: "Brother, may I ask which class in the first grade is the best now?"

The guard looked at her twice and said disdainfully: "This is a school, don't stay here, leave quickly, okay?"

Ever since she had been in Haixin, Zhu Xiuhua was very considerate and gave this big brother a bag of Chinese dumplings.

The other party coughed twice, then asked, "Your child should still be in the fifth grade."

Zhu Xiuhua nodded.

The guard continued, "In our middle school, each grade has four classes. Class one is the best and class four is the worst. It's all decided based on scores. But if you have connections and know who the grade head teacher is in advance, they can add one or two extra places."

"I see. Thank you, brother."

After the guard finished speaking, he looked Zhu Xiuhua up and down and felt that she didn't look like a rich person: "If you understand, then leave quickly."

……

Around the same afternoon, at the Haixin Eel Factory in Nanri Town, the number of eels that died that day doubled.

Zhang Sanming scolded the breeding experts on the spot: "Find a way to control it for me, even if you give me strong drugs, I can't let it die again."

Zhang Xuejin was also very worried. The eels in the pond seemed to be fine, but they kept dying every day.

To be honest, he couldn't help but spasm when he heard the word "eel". If he were given another choice, he would never touch this thing again.

The main reason is that very few people raise this thing. Even if you look at foreign publications, only island countries and overseas provinces raise it.

But these two places are very stingy and refuse to publish their breeding techniques in publications, so they are now completely crossing the river by feeling the stones.

And this time it is a new eel disease, different from the one Li Duoyu treated last time. It may be because of excessive use of that antibiotic.

The methods Zhang Xuejin knew were of no use to the eels in these ponds and were completely unable to prevent the spread of parasites and bacteria.

Zhou Wenlin, with half of his face swollen, told Zhang Sanming everything that happened today and exaggerated it.

Zhang Sanming was so angry that he smashed the thermos cup with the words "Huangshan" printed on it on the spot.

"Now, anyone dares to go against me, right? Am I so easy to bully?" Zhou Wenlin echoed, "That's right. Zhu Xiuhua is simply too lawless. Mr. Zhang, we have to find a way to catch her and bring her to our police station."

But what Zhou Wenlin didn't expect was that Zhang Sanming did not respond to him, but looked at him with a gloomy face.

"You take me for a fool, don't you?"

At this moment, Zhou Wenlin was sweating profusely, lowered his head, and did not dare to reply at all.

After all the breeding equipment was installed, Li Duoyu hosted a banquet for the leaders and installation technicians in the town.

After the banquet.

Li Qingguang heard from somewhere that the leader wanted to install a telephone in the factory and print business cards, so he took the initiative to find Li Duoyu.

"Brother Yu, after our factory installs the telephone, do we need a dedicated operator?"

Li Duoyu was a little curious: "Yes, after the telephone is installed, a dedicated operator is needed."

Li Qingguang scratched his head and said, "Can I introduce someone to you? She is very reliable."

Li Duoyu was a little curious, but seeing his silly look, he was too lazy to expose him, so he asked, "How is your Mandarin? Can you read and write?"

Li Qingguang nodded continuously: "Yes, she graduated from junior high school and her handwriting is quite beautiful."

When he got here, Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask, "Which girl is this? Why do you know her so well?"

Being asked this question suddenly, Li Qingguang smiled awkwardly and answered truthfully: "Old Chen's family, the youngest daughter."

Li Duoyu was very surprised: "Is that Old Chen who sells fishing gear at our dock?"

"Yes, it's Lao Chen."

"Isn't that Xiaoyan? She seems to be the same age as you, right? She's pretty. You're great."

Just at this time, my brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng came over and sighed, "Duoyu, don't underestimate this guy because he looks innocent. Many people in the village have already seen them at the observation deck on the top of the mountain."

"what."

Hearing this, Li Qingguang's face instantly flushed: "That's not us, they must have mistaken us."

Zhang Mingsheng smiled and said, "It's okay. There's nothing to be shy about. When Shuihua and I first started dating, we used to go there often."

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched when he heard this, because his brother-in-law's words brought back some not-so-nice memories.

After all, Shuihua used to be very nice to Duoyu, but since they started dating, she often comes home very late, or simply doesn't come home at all.

Li Duoyu suddenly said, "Qingguang, we are serious people. We should avoid such places in the future."

"Okay, let her be the operator after the telephone is installed."

"Thank you, Brother Fish."

But when Li Duoyu said this, Zhang Mingsheng felt a little embarrassed and didn't understand what he had said wrong.

Why am I not serious?
But after thinking for a while, he remembered that when he and Shuihua were dating at the observation deck, Li Duoyu, who was still a kid, would often hide nearby with Li Xiaorong and throw stones at them, and even pretend to be a ghost to scare them.

After thinking about this, Zhang Mingsheng couldn't help laughing. The relationship between these siblings is really good.

During this period, he did not return to Dandan Island because he was busy with equipment at the shrimp farm.

There are a lot of things to do next. The most urgent one is the opening ceremony of the shrimp farm. Generally, important days in the family are all handled by my mother.

Moreover, A'niang attaches great importance to such matters and often calculates the date.

After hearing this, A Niang immediately ran to ask the priest of Tianhou Temple, and also threw the holy cup to Mazu to ask.

"Goddess Mazu said that the groundbreaking ceremony can be held on the third day of the lunar calendar next month, which is about ten days away."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, mother."

Chen Huiying glared and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Don't listen to me, listen to Mazu."

After the date is confirmed, the next step is to write invitation letters. The leaders who are confirmed to come include Director Wu Yuping, as well as leaders from the county, the Fisheries Research Institute, and the town committee.

Having experienced the groundbreaking ceremony of a breeding farm in his previous life, he knew very well that leaders were invited. Those who took the initiative to come were really giving him face.

This time, the top leader and Director Huang did not explicitly say they would come, but regardless of whether they come or not, the invitation letter must be in their hands.

In addition to the leaders, Chen Yuansu must also be invited, as well as Director Liu of the Qingkou Wharf Aquatic Products Processing Factory.

Teacher Xie, who built a shrimp farm for himself, must also be invited. In addition to them, even the customs leader Zhang Chunsheng who he just met must be invited.

Including the teachers from Ludao, there are nearly thirty people to be invited.

Li Duoyu's handwriting was so ugly that it was really not presentable, so he had to ask Zhou Xiaoying for help in writing the invitation letter.

Zhou Xiaoying has been writing since she got out of school. The three words "INVITATION" on the new cover were written with a brush.

The invitation letters were all written in pen. Come to think of it, my wife's handwriting is really beautiful.

It looks just like something printed out by a printer, very neat and beautiful.

While his wife was working, Li Duoyu was not idle either. He would massage her shoulders and cervical vertebrae from time to time.

Occasionally, one or two small movements would make her very nervous, resulting in a wrong word being written, and the entire invitation letter would be invalidated.

Zhou Xiaoying crumpled up the waste paper and said angrily, "Stop bothering me, okay? If you're by my side, I'll keep making spelling mistakes. I won't be able to finish writing in one night if I keep going like this. Let's take a shower and take little Tutu to bed."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu thought for a while, and then suddenly understood.

"Okay, Boss, I will definitely wash myself clean today and ensure I serve you well."

Zhou Xiaoying was speechless when she knew he was talking dirty again. She didn't know what was going on with this guy. It was just a normal sentence, but he thought about it in that way.

Seeing that he still had dark circles under his eyes, Zhou Xiaoying said seriously, "I mean, you haven't had a good sleep for several days. Go to bed early today and have a good rest. Don't be too tired."

Li Duoyu also said seriously: "Okay, I get it. Then you write faster. I'll coax little Tutu to sleep early. Otherwise, let him sleep directly with A Niang tonight, so that he won't disturb us."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed.

Forget it, I won’t tell him. (End of this chapter)
