In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

A blink of an eye.

It was time for the commendation meeting for "ten thousand yuan households", and Li Duoyu wore the suit Zhou Xiaoying bought for him after a long time.

Because the weather was too hot, Li Duoyu did not wear a coat, but just a simple white shirt, trousers and leather shoes.

Seeing that his shirt had some wrinkles, Zhou Xiaoying asked him to take it off and smoothed it out with a charcoal iron.

Seeing that Li Duoyu refused to wear the tie, he considerately tied a slipknot for him.

Li Duoyu really doesn't like wearing a tie, but in this era, it is very fashionable and some people even put a pin on their tie.

Zhou Xiaoying was very satisfied when she saw Li Duoyu dressed up. His second sister-in-law, who happened to be passing by his house, couldn't help but say, "Xiaoying, you dressed Duoyu so handsomely, aren't you afraid that he will be kidnapped?"

Zhou Xiaoying smiled and said, "It's good to be kidnapped. It would be better if she brought back a little sister. This way I can save myself a lot of housework."

The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched and he glared at his second sister-in-law. Since you can't speak, can you please just say less?

Facing the smiling Zhou Xiaoying, Li Duoyu said: "What little sister is there? Forget about little sister. When I go out, even a sow won't even look at it."

Zhou Xiaoying narrowed her eyes and said, "I'm just saying it casually. Why are you so nervous? Are you feeling guilty?"

Li Duoyu opened his mouth wide. It turned out that women were unreasonable and he had to take practical action to convince them.

Li Duoyu didn't bother to care whether his second sister-in-law was present or not. He just hugged Zhou Xiaoying and was about to say a few words to her.

Zhou Xiaoying was frightened and quickly pushed him away: "Second sister-in-law is still here, can you be serious?"

Li Duoyu said helplessly: "If you don't believe me, then I have to prove it with actual actions."

The second sister-in-law standing by, although she was big and strong, her face instantly turned red when she saw this scene.

Jealous
I'm really jealous.

Li Yaoguo had never done this to her before. Now he stayed at the eel factory every night just because he didn't want to go home and sleep with her.

"Heh," the second sister-in-law sneered, "You guys continue, I'm going to the dock to pry oysters."

I saw my second sister-in-law left.

Zhou Xiaoying twisted Li Duoyu's hand that was still around her waist and said, "Let me go quickly. Don't do this again. I'm a teacher, I still have to maintain my image."

Li Duoyu laughed and said, "Second sister-in-law is one of us, there's nothing to be shy about. When we did that before, she probably heard everything clearly."

When talking about this, Zhou Xiaoying got angry and pinched Li Duoyu hard: "Every time I tell you to be more careful."

But even though he was scolded, he was still happy in his heart. Zhou Xiaoying had seen it all over the years. If there was no other way, Li Duoyu would not spend the night outside if he could go home to sleep.

Zhou Xiaoying was also very clear that there were many women out there who had a crush on Li Duoyu. For a period of time, she had even made plans for the worst.

After all, for someone as young and rich as him, it would be difficult for him to resist the temptation of the bright lights and wine.

But in all these years, he has never done anything that crossed the line. A man who goes home on time every night can't be that bad.

The most important thing is that Li Duoyu particularly likes to be touchy-feely. Shanshan has told her that a man’s body is the most honest way to tell whether he likes you or not.

Her husband Xiao Weidong had been fooling around in Nanri Town before, and during that time, he didn't even want to touch her.

Just as Li Duoyu was about to leave, he asked Zhou Xiaoying, "Do you want to go together this time? Can our family stay in a better restaurant?"

Zhou Xiaoying thought for a moment and said, "The fifth grade will take the exam soon. I have to supervise them carefully and try to get good grades."

"Okay then this time, I might not be back until the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Xiaoying smiled and said, "I'm not rushing you, you can play outside for two more days."

"How can that be? Home will always be my warmest harbor. Only when you are with me can I feel the meaning of life."

"Forehead"

Zhou Xiaoying got goosebumps when she heard this. She was so happy in her heart, but she said, "Where did you learn these nonsense?"

"Comrade Xiaoying, the heaven and earth are witnesses. I am really moved."

This, Li Duoyu really didn't lie to her, this family was too important to him. Only after experiencing life and death, can one take many things lightly.

To Li Duoyu, the most precious things are not wealth and fame, but the person beside him, his parents and children.

But if you want them to live a better life, you need a wealth foundation.

Nowadays, as family conditions are getting better and better, my parents don’t eat pickled foods for every meal anymore.

A Niang is now a full-time babysitter and cooks, and rarely goes to work in the oyster fields. In her previous life, A Niang often had to carry heavy oysters, so her back was hunched before she was sixty. But in this life, her physical condition is obviously much better, and she smiles more often.

Due to family problems, my father often drank alcohol at that time. In addition, he had a bad temper and was like a taciturn person. He rarely spoke to people.

Li Duoyu felt that his illness was probably caused by depression. Although his personality was still bad in this life, because his son was the village director, the villagers gave in to him and no one argued with him.

But the one who suffered the most should be Zhou Xiaoying. Her husband is in prison, and she not only has to teach, but also has to take care of the baby alone.

But now everything has changed, and everything is developing for the better. Dad and Mom are getting healthier, and Xiaoying is not as tired anymore.

And all this is what Li Duoyu wishes for.

On this day, all the millionaires on the island who were attending the commendation meeting wore new clothes.

Zhao Dahai, who usually wears army green pants, a ripped vest and Liberation shoes, also ordered a formal suit from the supply and marketing cooperative in order to attend this meeting.

He had never worn leather shoes before, so they were extremely uncomfortable for him. They hurt his feet, especially his big toe, which kept rubbing against the shoe surface, making it difficult for him to walk comfortably.

As for the shirt and trousers, wearing them felt like stealing someone else's clothes, which was very uncomfortable.

Zhao Dahai couldn't help but sigh: "These things are so uncomfortable to wear, I really don't understand why those leaders like to wear them so much."

Neighbor Lao Lu said bluntly: "You know nothing but a fool. The leader doesn't need to work, just looking good is enough."

Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, and felt that what he said made a lot of sense. As a result, they were about to set off, and Zhao Erniu reminded him:
"Brother, why is your hair still like a chicken coop and your beard a mess? Go find a barber right away."

Zhao Dahai looked in the mirror and found that his hair below the neck was clear, but the hair above the neck was still a mess. He rushed to the barber and found several millionaires queuing up there.

Zhao Dahai said anxiously: "Can you hurry up? The ship is about to leave."

The barber gave him a look of disdain: "You didn't come earlier or later, but you came just when I was about to go out. There's no point in urging me."

Over at the dock, the passenger ship has already sounded its horn.

Many millionaires wearing new clothes gathered there, and many villagers came to watch. Liu Xiaolan was still arranging clothes for Chen Wenchao.

The two children of my eldest cousin who are already in junior high school, Li Yuanjie and Li Wenjie, asked their father: "Dad, when you get to the county town, can you buy us a guitar?"

Li Shuguang snorted, "Why play the guitar if you don't study hard?"

Li Yuanjie smiled and said, "Playing guitar is cool, it's easier to find a girlfriend."

Li Shuguang tapped his head and said: "You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're already thinking about finding a girlfriend." This time when he went to the commendation meeting, Li Duoyu brought a film camera with him, intending to take a group photo before leaving.

Li Duoyu asked: "Everyone, take a quick look to see who else has not arrived."

"That Zhao Dahai is still getting his hair cut by the barber."

Someone joked, "Director Li, let's shoot first. His is a fake millionaire. It's 100% that the two brothers pooled their money together. It doesn't matter if he's there or not."

"Everyone, stand in your proper positions. Those who are taller should stand in the middle. Those at the back should stand on the stone steps. Be careful not to fall into the sea."

Li Duoyu looked at his watch and said, "Let's wait for him for another two minutes. If he doesn't come, we'll shoot first."

Li Duoyu had just finished speaking.

Zhao Dahai limped towards them. The skin on his right big toe seemed to be rubbed off and it was very painful and uncomfortable.

"Brother Yu, do you want to take a photo? Wait for me."

Zhao Dahai, who had a buzz cut, did look much more energetic, as if he had become a different person. However, he had been urging the barber just now because there was a small tuft of hair missing from one place.

After Li Duoyu adjusted the camera, he also stood in the middle of the crowd and handed the camera directly to Lao Mi. He also shouted like Li Duoyu: "Come on, one, two, three."

"Everyone shout eggplant together."

After the group photo, the sound of gongs and drums was heard at the dock, and a string of thousands of firecrackers went off. More than 20 millionaires held their heads high and boarded a passenger ship to the county town.

Chen Jianghe had already met them at the county dock early, and when Li Duoyu and his friends arrived, people at the dock started talking about it.

"Which village are these from? Why are there so many people here? Aren't all of them millionaires?"

"He's dressed like this, so it must be him. Which village could he be from? It must be Xiasha Village, the one that does kelp farming."

"Damn, is raising kelp so profitable? I want to try it next year."

One of them sighed, "You think too much. Among all the kelp farmers, only Xiasha Village made money. Shangqi Village lost a lot this time."

After getting off the boat, everyone took a farm vehicle to the county guesthouse.

Although all of these people are wealthy, many of them are staying in a guesthouse for the first time and are full of curiosity.

It can be said that the largest number of people who came to attend the commendation meeting came from Shangfeng Town. There were a total of 50 people with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan in the entire town, and almost half of them were from Xiasha Village.

Ranked second is Langqi Village.

There are eleven.

Originally, Shangqi Village was ranked third, but this typhoon caused their village to suffer too heavy losses.

I heard someone say,
This time, Shangqi Village originally reported eight households with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan. However, when they reported it to the town, Director Zhang of the credit union cut down five of them.

This time, the village party secretary Tang Wenchang came, as well as two farmers who were lucky enough to harvest kelp early.

But even after being affected by the typhoon, Shangfeng Town is still the township with the largest number of people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan in the county.

Nanri Town, which ranked second, is not comparable to Shangfeng Town at all. The number of households with an annual income of 10,000 yuan in their entire town combined is not even as many as that of Dandan Island.

This typhoon had a great impact on their town. Nanri Town is mainly engaged in oyster farming.

Liu Yun's uncle was originally a millionaire, but after the typhoon, he suffered heavy losses and fell back into poverty.

When checking in at the guesthouse, the people from Nanri Town saw Liu Yun and said unhappily, "Liu Yun, you traitor, hurry back to Nanri Town."

Liu Yun smiled and said, "Luckily I ran out to follow Brother Yu, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to attend this commendation meeting today."

"I won't go back. I am now the son-in-law of Dandan Island, and I am determined to follow Brother Yu in the future."

"You bitch."

During this stay, almost everyone was arranged to stay in a four-person room, except Li Duoyu. He actually enjoyed the same treatment as the leader and was arranged to stay in a single room in the next building, where the leader lived.

When Zhang Dongsheng, the village party secretary of Langqi Village, learned about this, he couldn't help but feel envious, but not jealous.

He was relatively well-informed and even knew that Li Duoyu had had dinner with the county leaders yesterday.

But some people were furious. Several millionaires in Shangqi Village protested on the spot: "This is simply classism. Why should Li Duoyu live in a room alone?"

A few unhappy people, together with a group of jealous people, went to the person in charge of the commendation meeting that day to make trouble.

"You must give an explanation for this matter. We are all millionaires. Why can Li Duoyu from Xiasha Village live in a single room while we can only live in a dormitory?"

The staff seemed to have guessed this would happen, and they didn't even bother to look up at them, and just replied: "Please, can you guys recognize yourselves first? Can you do the same?"

"They are all millionaires, what's the difference?"

The staff member hummed, "Director Li is not only a millionaire, but also a county leader in getting rich, and a celebrity entrepreneur. It's normal for him to receive different treatment. If you have the ability, we can arrange a single room for you right away."

"Besides, you guys are just millionaires, but Director Li alone is worth your entire town. How can it be the same?"

After hearing what the staff said, all those who came to complain fell silent. Although the words were unpleasant to hear, this comrade was really not wrong.

But not all of these millionaires suffer from conjunctivitis, and no one knows who made Li Duoyu's room number public.

Stayed this night.

They were all guests, and Li Duoyu was unable to receive them all. Those who could become millionaires in this era were mostly those who dared to fight and take risks and were relatively smart.

Many people with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan took this opportunity to ask Li Duo about fish farming.

Apart from some core technologies, Li Duoyu shared everything else he could on the spot.

"If you want to grow kelp well, the most important thing is to choose the right sea area. The current should not be too fast, but not too slow either, and the water depth should be higher."

"There are many advantages to hanging oysters. It can make the oysters bigger and they are not easily eaten by conchs."

That night, his single room was packed with millionaires. Even the corridor was filled with people, each holding a notebook and taking notes seriously.

Someone else asked, "Director Li, after you raised the shrimp fry, did you sell it to the outside world?"

Li Duoyu replied: "This has not been confirmed yet. If you have any needs, you can apply to our town committee or the Fisheries Research Institute."

After hearing this, Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao, who lived next door, couldn't help but smile.

Gao Yuntian said with emotion: "Fortunately this kid has some conscience. I thought he would ignore us after he became powerful enough."

Chen Shulin smiled and said, "I don't know who it was just now. He was cursing over there, saying that the village director lives in a single room, but he, the mayor, has to squeeze into a double room."

Gao Yuntian snorted, "With so many people coming to him to learn from his experience, who would dare to sleep in the same room with him? It's simply impossible to sleep. If I were the leader, I would also arrange a single room for him so that he wouldn't affect others."

Chen Shulin shook his head and smiled: "Lao Gao, let me tell you something serious. I think Duoyu is a good lecturer. How about we set up a small classroom for him in town and invite him to give a few lessons every month?"

"That's a good idea. I think it's fine. We can't let him have it too easy." (End of this chapter)
