In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

There was a big pot of porridge, which was too much for the three of them to finish. Li Duoyu put the rest into an aluminum pot and brought it to A Niang.

This thing on the edge of the pot will absorb water just like noodles. If you leave it alone, it will soon "clump" into a lump and become very unpalatable.

But when Li Duoyu brought the pot-side paste to his father and mother, instead of receiving any praise, he was lectured by them.

Basically, even though you are rich now, you can't be so extravagant and wasteful as to use lobster to cook pot-side paste or something like that.

Only the little fat boy kept praising: "Uncle, this pot-side porridge is really delicious. I really want to eat the food you cook every day."

Although the second sister-in-law had already eaten breakfast, she couldn't help but eat two big bowls and praised: "Duoyu, if this breakfast shop is opened in Rongcheng, the business will probably be very good."

Chen Huiying said: "Running a breakfast shop is not as good as raising a family. You are making your brother-in-law lose ground."

Zhu Xiuhua said: "Mom, I mean in the future, if..."

Before she could finish her words, Chen Huiying glared at her and said, "If you don't know how to speak, then just say less."

Zhu Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, knowing that she might have said something wrong again, but she didn't dare to retort.

In his previous life, Li Duoyu had actually thought about opening a restaurant in the city to make some money and share some of the pressure with his son.

But the things he made, although delicious, were too cost-effective and not suitable for general consumption, so they were eventually abandoned.

What surprised Li Duoyu was that after his second sister-in-law finished eating the pot-side porridge, she actually took the initiative to find him and told him something.

After listening to this, Li Duoyu pondered for a while and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are right. During this period, your father always felt that someone was watching the eel factory."

"They are either watching us or heading for the eel factory." Zhu Xiuhua said anxiously, "Duoyu, don't underestimate Zhang Sanming. If he gets ruthless, he won't even let his own people go. If he doesn't keep the eels well this time, he probably won't let you off easily. You have to be careful."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu stood there and thought for a while. What his second sister-in-law said was still possible.

If Zhang Sanming did not raise the eels well and he raised them too well, then he would definitely be responsible and would be punished.

If everyone doesn't take good care of it, then he will have an excuse.

Li Duoyu was silent for a while.

Fuck him
I have been very low-key. I just stayed on the island and raised eels. How did I end up offending these people?

This world is still too complicated. Even if you don’t look for trouble, trouble will come to you.

"Thank you for the reminder, second sister-in-law."

Zhu Xiuhua smiled and said, "We are all family, it's only right, it's only right."

Li Duoyu smiled. People are like this. Only when they suffer outside, they will understand how good their own people are.

This trip to Haixin was actually a good thing for my second sister-in-law, but it was not "painful" enough. I wonder how long it will make her remember it.

In this matter, what the second sister-in-law said was indeed correct. We must be on guard against Zhang Sanming. Li Duoyu has had contact with this man several times. He seems easy to get along with, but he is actually very sinister.

But Li Duoyu is not the kind of person who will passively take a beating. Since the other party's hand is so long, as the local boss, he has to chop him into pieces no matter what.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and decided that if Zhang Sanming wanted to do something ruthless, the simplest and most effective way for their breeding industry would be to poison them.

This is also what every fish farmer fears the most. Using some "pond cleaners" and "pyrethroids" and other drugs to poison fish has very good effects. There is even a kind of poisonous fish vine that can poison fish.

As far as Li Duoyu knew, the other party didn't even need to poison the pond. They only needed to poison the water source to affect the breeding pond.

This is also the reason why many farmers in the past lived in fear and did not dare to conflict with others. If you really encounter a ruthless person who does not care about life and death, it is possible that both of you will suffer losses.

Li Duoyu came to the eel pond. The goods will be shipped in less than a month, and everyone is very nervous.

My second brother has been under so much pressure recently that he has been suffering from insomnia and often patrols the eel pond late at night.

Previously, data were recorded twice a day, but now the number has been doubled, with data tested four times a day. In addition, the eels in each pond are randomly checked for parasites.

Thanks to my second brother’s meticulous management, the eels this year are managed very well. If he continues to maintain this attitude, there will be absolutely no problem with the eels this year.

Li Duoyu personally checks the eels whenever he has time. Based on his experience, there is absolutely no problem with the eels this year. What he is most afraid of now is people.

Since there are already signs, why not just strike first? Li Duoyu told the announcer Uncle Mao directly about the matter.

There are some harsh words that he, as the village director, cannot say casually, otherwise it will be easy for his banditry to affect the villagers and also give others a handle. But he can always find someone to speak up for him.

After hearing this, Uncle Mao was very angry. Everyone in the village had witnessed how good Li Duoyu was, and he had even saved his child's life two years ago.

Uncle Mao tapped the microphone on the spot and said earnestly and seriously: "Dear relatives and villagers, I have an important event to inform you today.
The village committee has received news that someone in our village has teamed up with outsiders to harm our village director and poison our director Li Duoyu's eels. "

When Uncle Mao just said this, the whole Xiasha Village went into an uproar, and even the old man who was playing four-color cards in the square fell silent.

At the dock, many fishermen were quite angry. Many of them had a good life because of Li Duoyu.

Everyone knows very well that if Li Duoyu is good, they will be good too. If Li Duoyu is not good, the whole village will probably be affected.

Zhao Dahai, who had just finished selling seafood, stamped out the cigarette in his mouth and said: "If there really is a traitor in our village, we will kill him after catching him."

Several fishermen also said: "They are helping outsiders. They are disloyal people and don't deserve to stay in our Dandan Island."

Wang Jinshan also said fiercely: "If anyone dares to do it, I will go to the north slope and dig a few pits in advance, and then bury them alive."

Uncle Mao finally said, "The past month is a critical period for eel farming. Director Li has been very busy recently. We welcome everyone to help report and supervise. If you find anyone suspicious or approaching the eel farm without reason during this period, you can come and tell the people at the eel farm."

"Finally, I hope that our villagers can work together and not do anything that harms our common interests. The islanders come here mainly to buy eels, and kelp is just a by-product. Once something happens to the eels, it will be difficult for us to continue exporting kelp."

Upon hearing that it might affect kelp exports, kelp farmers, who were not so angry originally, suddenly became nervous.

Someone even said, “We have already collected the kelp, so why don’t we help Director Li look after the eel factory this month.”

"I think it's a good idea. Let's just set up a guard every three steps. We'll see if we can still take action against Director Li's eel."

Li Duoyu originally wanted to recruit a few more uncles to help look after the eel pond, but he didn't expect that many kelp farmers would come to help spontaneously.

But Li Duoyu didn't dare to take all of them. Who knows if Zhang Sanming's men are among them? If so, he would be suspected of "embezzlement". That would be the most terrifying thing.

In the end, only the Zhao brothers, Zhang Jinshan, and Uncle Mao's son, the trustworthy people, were called.

In addition to these people, Lao Li also started to keep watch at the eel factory. It seems that even a bird can hardly fly into the eel factory now.

Li Duoyu and his second sister-in-law were right to worry. The shabby little house on the island was filled with smoke.

Four people were smoking in the room, and there were wine bottles all over the floor. One of them said with a sad face, "How did the news get out? How did Li Duoyu know about it?"

"How should I know?"

"The eel factory is full of people now. It's impossible for us to throw the bottle in."

"I think we should just forget about this. If we are really caught, the villagers will bury us alive without Li Duoyu having to do anything." "But we have been paid. If we don't work, the people who paid us will not let us go. If they really expose us, we will not have a good life."

"Damn, this is such a hot potato. If I had known it would be so difficult, I would not have taken the money."

"I've already let you spend half of my money. It's useless to say that now. Can I ask you to return the money?"

After hearing this, everyone sighed, and one of them said, "I heard that Zhang Meiying seems to be coming back."

"That Agui's wife, the one who had a grudge against Li Duoyu."

"Who else could it be? She's the only one in our village whose name is Meiying. I think we shouldn't rush and wait until she comes back. By then, everyone might think it was her who did it."

"Brother Zhu, you are so cruel to use a knife to kill someone. Zhang Meiying just came out and you are trying to send her back."

"It's better for this scumbag Xiao to stay in there. If he's let out, he might really bite people."

"By the way, you said those people are only looking for us, are there any people on the island who are willing to pay? If they take action, we can save a lot of trouble."

"How would we know? We just need to do our part."

However, they had never expected that in this team of four, although they were arm in arm with each other and called each other brothers, each of them smiled in a very strange and fake way, and each of them had his own little thoughts.

After Li Duoyu came out of the eel factory, he went home, picked up the stack of invitation letters, and first took a boat to Rongcheng.

After all, when it comes to invitations, no matter whether the other party comes or not, it is best to deliver them in person. This shows that you respect him and can also bring both parties closer together.

As for the invitation letters to the senior leaders and Secretary Huang, Li Duoyu did not dare to deliver them personally, but asked Director Wu to pass them on.

In addition to the top leaders, Director Wu, and Teacher Xie, Li Duoyu also sent three invitation letters to Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, one of which had Chen Yuansu's name on it, and the other two had blank names.

In addition, Li Duoyu also went to the machinery factory and gave his elder brother Li Jinchuan two invitation letters, one of which also had a blank name.

The eldest brother thought about it and originally wanted to refuse, but when he learned that some leaders might go, he directly asked for leave in advance from his leader and gave one of the invitation letters to the leader.

After settling in Rongcheng, Li Duoyu, under the leadership of Chen Jianghe, went to the county party committee yard. To be honest, it was his first time to come to this place.

In the past, because of Zhang Xianjin, Li Duoyu's relationship with this place was not really harmonious.

But now Zhang Xianjin has been transferred, and it is said that the newcomer seems to be from the faction of the big leader, and has been paying close attention to the situation on Li Duoyu's side.

After the two sides met, the new leader named Tao Jingyuan immediately shook hands with Li Duoyu cordially.

"I have been looking forward to Director Li for a long time. I have only been in office for a short time. It is a pity that I have not met such a young hero like Director Li so late."

Li Duoyu was also a little overwhelmed by the other party's enthusiasm. After all, you are the head of a county. Can't you be more dignified and put on some airs?
When Li Duoyu handed him the invitation, Tao Jingyuan said with emotion: "I'm really worried that you won't give it to me, and then I'll be embarrassed."

Li Duoyu scratched his head: "Hehe! I'm afraid that County Magistrate Tao won't show you favor?"

"How is this possible? It's hard for others to say, but I will definitely give Director Li face."

Li Duoyu smiled. He was of course very clear about who the county magistrate was giving face to, but everyone just smiled and didn't point it out.

Tao Jingyuan then asked, "Director Li, I want to ask you something. Have you sent the invitation letter from Rongcheng?"

"I have delivered it. There are some places I cannot enter, so I have asked Director Wu to help deliver it for me."

"That's good."

Tao Jingyuan nodded and said, "By the way, Director Li, I have something to congratulate you on. Your application to join the organization has been approved. From now on, you are one of us. There will be an additional session at the commendation meeting. Those of you who have just joined the organization will have a swearing-in session, and you will be the one who will take the oath."

Li Duoyu's eyes widened: "Can you please change someone else? I'll just follow along and recite the oath."

Tao Jingyuan smiled: "This may be a little difficult, and it's not something I can decide, but it's also quite simple. You just need to memorize a few sentences and then raise your hand to swear. They will repeat after you."

Li Duoyu sighed and said, "Okay."

In fact, he wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to be the protagonist of this commendation conference, but it seemed impossible at the moment.

After sending the invitation letter, Li Duoyu wanted to go back to the island directly, but was abruptly "detained".

He found that people like Tao Jingyuan were really difficult to deal with. He was not arrogant at all and could even humble himself and treat you as a brother.

How does the saying go:

As long as your leader is willing to put down his airs, you will be a bird in a cage and a donkey in the market.

In the evening, I was forced to join them in a drinking party in the county town. The head of the county organized the party, and all the officials of the county, big and small, came to support it.

Even Director Zhang from the Fisheries Research Institute came, and Li Duoyu was forced to drink a lot of wine that night.

What he didn't expect was that what happened next was like a magical story. The county magistrate actually apologized to Li Duoyu in front of so many people.

"Director Li, today, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my predecessor. Minlong Food is clearly a star enterprise in our county, and Director Li is also a leader in getting rich. We have seen all of this.

But in the past two years, not only did our county fail to support you, but it also made things difficult for Director Li."

Tao Jingyuan asked one of them, "Director Zeng, how is the matter of Dandan Island Primary School being handled now?"

Director Zeng stood up with his glass raised: "The funds have been received, and the teaching building will be built 100% this summer."

"Isn't that right? I'm here today. You and Director Li should have a couple of drinks. What happened in the past is in the past. We should cooperate with each other and look forward together."

"I have good news for you all. From today on, Director Li is also a member of our organization. Do you know who signed the approval document?"

After Tao Jingyuan finished speaking, he pointed upwards.

Upon hearing this, Director Zeng quickly raised his glass and said, "Director Li, I was wrong about the incident at Dandan Island Primary School. I will drink three glasses of wine as punishment."

Li Duoyu smiled and also drank three glasses of wine. Seeing how generous he was, the atmosphere instantly became lively.

"Director Li, it's a huge amount."

Li Duoyu is also an experienced person. He has read quite a few officialdom novels of this era. He did not expect that they were all true.

Today, County Magistrate Tao, who has just taken office, seems to be using this drinking party to make a warning, and he is very likely the stick in his hand.

Because of Li Duoyu, Chen Jianghe was lucky enough to get to the dinner party. He wanted to drink his soup and eat quietly.

But he didn't expect to be called upon by County Magistrate Tao.

"Comrade Jiang He, you have worked hard over the past few years. Please help Director Li and strive to make Dandan Island a model for the entire county."

Chen Jianghe felt like crying when he heard this, knowing that he would be transferred back to the countryside indefinitely. He only hoped that during this time in the countryside, his partner would not be snatched away by someone else. (End of this chapter)
