In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 560: Sister-in-law is about to give birth (Part )

When Jiang Yuqin and Li Jinchuan were together at the beginning, no one was optimistic about their relationship. After all, Li Jinchuan had a dull personality and was from a remote island, so his family conditions must not be very good.

Although Jiang Yuqin was married and had a child, she was very beautiful and had many admirers. Her parents were also retired from government agencies.

But who would have thought that Li Jinchuan was the most powerful person in the entire machinery factory, and his younger brother was no ordinary person.

Now the head of their factory attaches great importance to Jinchuan. Last year, he was promoted to workshop director due to his good performance.

If the workshop performs well in the next two years, perhaps they will be able to move up to the management level. Now the couple still have a lot of say in the factory.

Jiang Yuqin, pregnant, called a tricycle at the door to go home. Just after she put down her bag, her parents, who had retired to help her take care of the children at home, asked with a newspaper, "Is this Li Duoyu really Jinchuan's brother?"

Jiang Yuqin smiled and replied, "Jinchuan is the eldest in the family, and Li Duoyu is the fourth. When you see Jinchuan, you have to call him big brother."

Jiang's mother, who was only in her fifties but already had completely white hair, asked, "His brother is so good at making money, has anyone in Jinchuan invested with him?"

Jiang Yuqin replied: "There are some. We invested in a big ship together."

Jiang's mother frowned slightly: "How much money does a big ship make? Has he invested in that eel factory and shrimp farm?"

"Not really, but his father left him ten acres of oyster fields, so he can still make a lot of money every year."

After hearing this, the two elders were silent for a while. Father Jiang, who had been silent all this time, took off his reading glasses and said earnestly:
"The situation in the city is not very good right now. When you have time, you should talk to Jinchuan about it. Don't always focus on that little salary. While you are still young and have the opportunity, you should fight for it."

Jiang Yuqin nodded: "I understand, Dad. When Jinchuan is free, I will tell him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuqin felt a pain in his stomach.

"Mom, my stomach suddenly hurts."

Jiang Yuqin became nervous.

"It feels like it's early. Is she going to give birth soon?"

As someone who has experienced this, Jiang's mother quickly said, "Don't be nervous. It's normal for the second baby to come faster. As long as our water hasn't broken, everything will be fine."

Mother Jiang complained: "This Jinchuan is really something. It's just a matter of the past few days, but he doesn't even stay with you."

Then he glared at the old man who was still sitting on the chair and said disdainfully: "Why are you still sitting there? Go to the factory and call Jinchuan back. Oh, and ask him to get a car to take Xiao Qin to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital."

"Also, call our in-laws. After all, the child's surname is Li. We need to inform them when the baby is born."

"There's no telephone on their island."

Jiang's mother glared and said, "There are none on the island, but there are some at Jinchuan's brother's shrimp farm. Let's go get one."

After Li Duoyu left Qingkou Wharf, he went straight to the shrimp farm in Qixing Bay. Chen Dongqing was so envious when he read the newspaper.

He said with envy and jealousy: "We welcome our celebrity entrepreneur to come back to the factory for inspection."

Li Duoyu looked at his uncle who was acting like a demon again and said, "What's there to be jealous of? Don't you have a special topic yourself?"

Chen Dongqing said with a dark face: "I am on the third page, and you are all on the front page. Even Red Flag has an article about you. Our Director Zhang has also initiated a special meeting to learn from Comrade Li Duoyu."

Li Duoyu said: "What is there for me to learn? If I have to learn anything, I should learn from Comrade Chen Dongqing."

"It's no use flattering me." After Chen Dongqing finished speaking, he suddenly said seriously: "Our shrimp fry are getting bigger and bigger. If there are so many of them, it feels like the brine shrimp we breed ourselves will not be enough for them to eat. What should we do next?"

Li Duoyu thought about it seriously and said, "Let's keep the best quality shrimp fry for our own breeding, keep some for experiments, and let the institute arrange the rest."

Chen Dongqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Really give all the remaining shrimp fry to the institute? They can be sold for a lot of money."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "The research institute has helped me so much. Besides, we are strategic partners."

Li Duoyu originally planned to give shrimps to shrimp farmers in the name of the shrimp farm, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate.

After all, I am a businessman. If I provided it for free in my own name in the first two years, and then wanted these shrimp farmers to pay for it, they would definitely not be willing to do so.

Just like the Fisheries Research Institute, kelp seedlings were provided free of charge in the past two years, but this year they started charging for it. Some kelp farmers were very dissatisfied and started to find all kinds of faults.

He is already famous enough today thanks to the hype from television stations and newspapers, so there is no need for him to keep flattering himself.

After all, the greater the fame, the faster the fall. Take Boss Cao in the previous life for example. He was not as bad as imagined, but he was attacked by everyone just because of one sentence.

If Li Duoyu gave the shrimp seedlings to the research institute, it could be considered a kind of return, and he also had some little thoughts in mind.

After all, there is one job for one person. If Director Zhang is promoted as soon as possible, my uncle will have a chance to climb up.

There is a saying that goes, you should get promoted early. The younger you are, the more opportunities you have. By then, when everyone else has retired, the position will be yours.

Chen Dongqing had no idea that while he was working hard to help Li Duoyu raise shrimps, his nephew was secretly planning his career behind the scenes.

Chen Dongqing then asked, "By the way, you were the one who took the lead in Zhao Jialu taking over the seedling base in our institute."

Li Duoyu coughed and said seriously, "Don't slander me. I don't have that much power. I can't interfere in matters related to organizational personnel transfers."

Chen Dongqing rolled his eyes at him, then said, "I also support Zhao Jialu taking over this job, but there is one thing I may need to remind you of. After the seedling center becomes independent, the three of us must avoid suspicion in our relationship, otherwise people will definitely gossip about us."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. He had thought about it, but not too much. After his uncle reminded him, he found that it was true.

Once Zhao Jialu takes over the seedling center, the combined power of the three of them will be quite considerable. The entire county's breeding sector will almost be controlled by the three of them.

This is quite terrifying. Although they have no intention of doing anything illegal, no one thinks so, so avoiding suspicion is inevitable.

Otherwise, even if you succeed in the future, because of the relationship between the three of them, others can easily put a big hat on you.

Chen Dongqing continued, "By the way, in about ten days, do you have time? My senior will arrive in Rongcheng. Let's have dinner with the two people from Agricultural University."

Li Duoyu thought for a moment:
“There should be time.”

"Then I called them and told them."

At this moment, Chen Xiaoyan, who was in charge of answering the phone in the factory, ran over in a hurry and said, "Director Li, there's a call for you."

Li Duoyu asked, "Who called?"

"The other party said he was your eldest brother's father-in-law, and said that the baby was about to be born, and asked your family to go to Rongcheng as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing couldn't help but look at each other. After a quick calculation of the time, they found that during the Chinese New Year last year, the eldest sister-in-law's belly was already very obvious, and it was almost the due date at this time.

"Did you hang up the phone?"

Chen Xiaoyan replied: "He hasn't hung up yet. Since you are here, I asked him to wait for a while and then came to inform you."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu felt that this girl was very smart and was indeed suitable for this job, as his eldest brother's family didn't have a telephone.

If his father-in-law wanted to make a phone call, he had to go to the post office. Once he hung up, it would be difficult for Li Duoyu to contact him.

Li Duoyu trotted a few steps, picked up the phone quickly, and said politely: "Hello uncle, I am Li Duoyu, Jinchuan's younger brother." The other party heard that he was so polite and also said politely: "Duoyu, it's like this, your sister-in-law Yuqin may give birth in the next two days. If it's convenient for you, bring your parents up with you."

"Okay, uncle, I'll go back and tell my parents that I'll take them to Rongcheng early tomorrow morning. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, no problem, see you tomorrow then."

"Okay, goodbye uncle."

Jiang Haiyun felt particularly happy after he finished talking to Li Duoyu on the phone, mainly because the kid was extremely polite, even though they had never met before.

But when he opened his mouth, he said "Hello, Uncle", which was so comfortable, and much sweeter than Jinchuan's words.

Just now when I called.

Jiang Haiyun's voice was very high-pitched. He really wanted to let the people who were calling at the post office know that he was talking to a millionaire, so he called out the word "Duoyu" very loudly.

Unfortunately, no one seemed to care about him particularly, but having a relative like him would give me something to talk about when I go to the park to play chess with others in the future.

After Li Duoyu finished the call, he was also very excited and asked his uncle, "Uncle, do you want to go to Rongcheng with me?"

"You guys can just go. As an uncle, I won't join in the fun. Besides, this is Jinchuan giving birth to a child, not my sister's."

Li Duoyu said: "You can't say that. You are the Thunder God in the sky and the uncle on the earth. Even if you are the third generation, you are still very important."

"You guys go ahead. There's a lot going on at the institute and the shrimp farm lately, so I don't go home very often. Your aunt has been in a bad mood lately and has been clamoring to live with her parents."

Li Duoyu sighed and said, "I told you to pay your taxes, but you just wouldn't listen. You can't even handle a woman."

After Chen Dongqing heard this, he kicked him and said, "Do you think all women in the world are like your wife, and you can get them by paying public taxes?"

Li Duoyu twisted his waist and dodged the weakling attack from his uncle: "I can't even kick you. I know without thinking that the public grain you handed in must be of poor quality. It just so happens that my aunt works at the grain station. She didn't give you the public grain back and asked you to hand it in again."

"Your uncle's."

Chen Dongqing was amused by this: Why do I feel that you are more coquettish than those who hold pens? Why don’t you just stop farming and give it a try? Maybe you will be very suitable for writing novels in the future. "

"Forget it. If I, who haven't even graduated from junior high school, become a famous writer in the future, where will the officials put their reputation?"

Chen Xiaoyan at the side couldn't help but also laughed. The two men then noticed that there was a young girl who had just reached adulthood. They coughed twice and then calmed down a little.

Chen Xiaoyan will be the daughter-in-law of the Li family in the future. If she is led astray by accident, Qingguang will be the one who suffers.

Li Duoyu stayed in the shrimp farm for several hours, mainly checking the breeding equipment and the condition of the shrimp seedlings.

Today's shrimp farms, like eel farms, have very strict breeding requirements and water quality must be tested twice a day.

After all, Oriental shrimp are a little more difficult to raise than whiteleg shrimp, and there is only one crop a year. Although they also eat feed, after they become adults, they prefer to eat some small shellfish just like blue crabs.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to raise these prawns well, and we have to specially breed shellfish for them to eat.

This is also the reason why Li Duoyu wanted to rent Qixing Bay, because after renting Qixing Bay, the entire beach would also be his.

It just so happens that the beach is very suitable for breeding a kind of clams called "thin shells", which are very suitable for use as feed for local prawns.

After the inspection, Li Duoyu had a simple meal with the workers in the factory and then rushed to Qingkou Wharf. When he arrived, the students had just finished their exams.

Li Duoyu hurriedly waved at them.

Seeing the eye-catching fishing boat coming, Lin Shanshan couldn't help shaking her head and said, "Some people are just lucky. Why don't I have this kind of luck?"

Principal Zhu smiled and replied, "There are indeed very few people like Director Li. Director Li has come to pick you up. Teacher Shanshan and I will send the child back later. You don't have to follow us."

Zhou Xiaoying was a little helpless, but also a little happy: "Okay, then our ship will follow you."

"No, no, your boat is running so fast. If it follows us, Director Li will be very anxious."

This time, everyone did well in the exam. The little girl named Zhang Siyu smiled happily because she performed well this time.

And the student named Shujing also came to Qingkou Wharf to see them off.

"Shujing, how did you do on the exam this time?"

Chen Shujing smiled and said, "I don't know how many points the composition got, but the other points should be correct."

Zhou Xiaoying patted her head and said to everyone, "If Shujing performs well, it will not be a problem for her to be in the top three in the entire school district. If she is lucky, she may even be the first."

"So awesome."

But there was one student who just couldn't be happy. He kept looking at the floor with his head down, probably because he didn't sleep well last night.

He failed the math test. He had clearly done the questions before, but when he took the test today, he couldn't remember them.

As bad luck would have it, the electric fan above his head broke down. Li Haoran was afraid of heat to begin with, so he spent the entire afternoon wiping his sweat.

I was already on the passing line, but now I haven't performed well. I probably won't be able to get into junior high school. When the results come out, I will be beaten to death by my mother.

Li Haoran clenched his fists. If he really didn't do well in the exam, he didn't plan to repeat his studies and would go directly to work in his uncle's shrimp farm.

At least he should be paid twenty dollars a month. When Li Haoran thought of this, he was no longer disappointed. After all, his uncle's shrimp farm provided food and accommodation.

If you earn 20 yuan a month, you can really buy a lot of things. If you save some money, when you are older, you can go to the Rongcheng Zoo to see pandas without your parents.

When he thought of this, Li Haoran felt that not doing well in the exam was not a terrible thing.

Li Duoyu drove his fishing boat behind the passenger ship and drove it all the way to Dandan Island Pier.

But he did not dock immediately, but drove the boat towards the open sea.

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said:
"Where are you going?"

Li Duoyu said casually: "I forgot to do something."

"What's the matter?"

"You will know when the time comes."

The setting sun shines on the sea, and a fishing boat is docked in the middle of the sea. The picture is quite beautiful.

Li Duoyu, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion, slapped his forehead suddenly and said, "Oh, there is something very important that I forgot to tell my father and mother. My eldest sister-in-law is about to give birth."

"How could you forget such an important thing?"

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "It's mainly because my wife is so beautiful that she has bewitched me."
