In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

the next day.

Dad and Mom woke up very early. Li Duoyu wanted to sleep a little longer, but when the little Tutu learned that they were going to Rongcheng, he woke up early in the morning.

He jumped up and down on the bed and even sat on him. Zhou Xiaoying scolded him on the spot: "Your father is very tired. Let him sleep a little longer and don't disturb him."

But after being disturbed by the little kid, I had lost all desire to sleep. Fortunately, my young body is very sturdy.

Even if I stay up late.

You won’t feel particularly tired the next day.

Unlike his previous life when he came back from the island country, his body was simply damaged by battle. It felt like it could be scrapped at any time if he didn't pay attention to daily maintenance or the engine was used for too long.

After Li Duoyu got up, he simply washed up, had breakfast, and planned to go to Rongcheng.

In addition to visiting relatives, Li Duoyu will also take Zhou Xiaoying and Xiao Tutu to the city for some fun.

So I wanted to take Li Haoran with me, but I didn't expect that this kid has been behaving very well recently. As soon as the graduation exam was over, he followed his mother to pry oyster shells.

Even when Li Duoyu said she wanted to take him to the city to play, she just thought about it for a while, and then said she wanted to continue helping her mother, which moved her second sister-in-law so much that she almost cried.

The abnormal behavior of the little fat boy made Li Duoyu vaguely aware that something was wrong, and he had roughly guessed it, but he did not point it out.

Li Duoyu drove a fishing boat and took the two elders, Xiaoying and Xiao Tutu to Rongcheng.

Speaking of which, there are really many people who don’t believe it. Although A Niang was born on an island, she actually gets seasick because she seldom takes a boat ride.

Li Duoyu had to control the fishing boat at a relatively steady speed and did not dare to drive the boat too fast.

When he reached this age, Li Duoyu learned that his mother had never even been to the county town, let alone Rongcheng.

And many women on the island are like her. The farthest place they have ever been to in their lives is the market in town.

At the eel factory on Dandan Island, those who had been drinking last night gradually woke up. Zhao Dahai was horrified to find himself hugging Zhang Yuansheng with his upper body naked.

He had dreamed of hugging many beautiful women, but he never expected that one day he would wake up hugging a man.

Shitou, who woke up first, felt terrible because he was being held tightly in the grip of his uncle Chen Dongqing.

Shitou finally pushed him away and secretly swore that he would never drink again.

At about half past ten in the morning, Li Duoyu's fishing boat slowly docked at Rongcheng Pier.

However, he found that the wharf, which was once bustling with traffic, suddenly became deserted, and even the fishmongers disappeared.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask the old man who was helping to watch the boats at the dock: "Why are all the fish sellers here gone?"

The old man sighed and said, "Alas, it has just been rectified. They said that for the sake of unified management, they are not allowed to display them here anymore. They have to be moved to the farmers' market."

"Now those who sell agricultural products and fishmongers have to fight for stalls. Those who don't have stalls may not be able to do this business."

Li Duoyu was stunned. It turned out that centralized management started from this time. But it was understandable.

The previous open trading venue like the Rongcheng Wharf can only be said to be a short-lived product after the reform and opening up. It is incredible that it has existed for so many years.

After all, wherever there is profit, people will naturally reach out. Once it becomes a farmers' market, it will be easier to manage.

If Li Duoyu is also a vested interest, he will definitely support the establishment of a farmers' market.

However, this kind of centralized management may not be a good thing for current fishmongers. If they have a stall, there will naturally be stall management fees.

It is also more likely to breed the two evil forces of "vegetable tyrants" and "fishing tyrants". No wonder Old Man Mi said that many fishmongers hate him now.

After getting off the boat, A Niang, who was seasick, looked pale. Even though it was her first time in Rongcheng, she had no intention of looking at the buildings and scenery.

Instead, he sat on the railing by the river to relax. It was also the first time for little Tutu to come to Rongcheng. His eyes were wide open and he was full of curiosity about this big city.

But compared to the crowded commercial street, he was more interested in a few little boys playing football not far away. After taking a few glances, he said loudly:

"Dad, I want to buy that ball too."

But just as Xiao Tutu finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoying pulled out a thin bamboo whip from somewhere.

"When we came out, I told you that if you see something you want, you can't just ask your dad to buy it for you. Do you remember?"

After seeing the little bamboo whip, little Tutu instantly became more obedient than a chicken: "Remember, I won't buy balls anymore."

After Zhou Xiaoying finished educating Xiao Tutu, she said to Li Duoyu fiercely: "Did you hear me? Don't buy him toys immediately when he makes a noise, otherwise this child will become more and more difficult to raise in the future."

Li Duoyu, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, said helplessly, "I understand, Teacher Zhou."

After resting for about ten minutes, A-niang's complexion finally looked much better, and everyone then went to her in-laws' house.

Considering that A Niang was seasick, Li Duoyu did not call a taxi or take the bus. Instead, he called three human-powered tricycles to take them to the dormitory of Rongcheng Machinery Factory.

Dormitory door.

The gatekeeper, who was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan and listening to opera, saw a group of people carrying baskets and chicken coops, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Duoyu smiled and replied, "Uncle, let's go find Jiang Haiyun."

My eldest brother Li Jinchuan’s father-in-law actually works in the same unit as him, but he has already retired.

After the eldest brother was promoted, he was also allocated a house, and now they live in the same dormitory unit.

The old man took a quick look at them and saw that the two small baskets they were carrying were quite exquisite, like the ones they would carry for a wedding.

There was a dustpan covering it, and it felt like the things inside must be quite valuable. Also, the chicken coop that the woman was carrying had at least seven or eight chickens in it, which didn't give the impression that it was from an ordinary family.

This family looks a bit dark, but their overall temperament is no worse than that of city people, especially the young man who handed him a cigarette, who always feels a bit familiar.

"Looking for Jiang Haiyun?"

As soon as the old man finished asking, he slapped his thigh and said, "Are you Li Jinchuan's family from Dandan Island?"

Seeing the old man's reaction, Li Duoyu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this gatekeeper actually knew about Dandan Island. It seems that their island is quite famous.

"That's right, Jinchuan is my eldest brother, and these two are our parents. We are indeed from Dandan Island."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The old man immediately became polite: "Jinchuan is not at home. He sent his wife to the hospital early in the morning. As for Lao Jiang, just go straight to the third floor of the second staircase in the building in front."

"Thank you, sir." "You're welcome, Director Li."

The word "Director Li" made Li Duoyu stunned for several seconds, but when he took a look at the newspaper rack in this small communication room, he understood what was going on.

These days, being on the front page of a newspaper feels like being on the headlines. Anyone who pays attention is likely to know you. In a sense, Li Duoyu is now a celebrity.

As soon as Li Duoyu and his friends left, the old men and women who were watching behind them immediately started talking.

"Old Xu, are these people visiting relatives? They brought so many things, eight chickens, and a basket of goodies. They look like a wealthy family."

The old man named Lao Xu smiled and said, "You guessed it right. They are indeed a wealthy family. They are here to see Lao Jiang. They are the family of Li Jinchuan from our factory."

After hearing this, the eyes of the old men and women widened: "Is it the guy who raises eels on Dandan Island, his name seems to be Li Duoyu?"

Lao Xu nodded and said, "Yes, it's Li Duoyu. I've seen him in the newspapers several times. I wouldn't be mistaken for him."

An old lady took a breath:
"He's a millionaire. If I had known, I would have shaken his hand no matter what I said just now."

But some people said: "That's not right. He is so rich, why did he come here on a tricycle? Shouldn't he drive a car?"

Lao Xu said, "They are from an island, why would they buy a car when they have nothing better to do? I heard from Lao Jiang that Li Duoyu has an imported boat worth nearly 200,000 yuan. It runs very fast in the sea. It only takes one hour to get from Dandan Island to our Rongcheng Pier."

"It's so fast! It takes me more than two hours to get to their county town by car."

When Li Duoyu went up the stairs, he saw the old men and women talking a lot, and he could roughly guess what they were talking about.

This time, his parents saw that he was too tired, so they planned to let him come up to meet the in-laws themselves.

But Li Duoyu felt that it was not suitable. He had lived two lives and was well versed in the ways of the world. Since the in-laws had called the shrimp farm, he could guess with his toes who they wanted to invite up.

Everyone loves to save face.

Li Duoyu simply gave enough, so that his in-laws would be proud. When his eldest brother got along with them, he would feel much more relaxed and have more say.

After a few knocks on the door, a middle-aged man who was older than my father opened the door. After exchanging a few glances with Li Duoyu, he immediately began to warmly welcome them:

"The in-laws are here."

"The house is a little small, come in and sit down quickly, no need to wear slippers, the room is not that clean."

In fact, Li Duoyu was a little embarrassed because they had never met each other before and he was really afraid of going to the wrong door.

Fortunately, there was a wedding photo of my eldest brother and his wife hanging in the hall. Xiao Min also came out of the room and shouted, "Grandpa and Grandma, you are here."

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

Chen Huiying was also very happy after meeting Xiao Min. Although they had only spent a few days together, she really liked this granddaughter.

Lao Li immediately gave the dried seafood to the other party: "These are the specialties of our island, including mother squid and dried oysters."

A-niang also sent the eight chickens over: "And these are the native chickens we raised."

After seeing so many dried seafood, Jiang Haiyun quickly said, "We are all family, there is no need to bring so many things."

When Li Duoyu handed him a box of grilled eels, Jiang Haiyun was stunned: "Director Li, you are really too polite. We are embarrassed to accept such a valuable item."

When Xiao Min heard about grilled eel, she couldn't help swallowing. Ever since she had eaten it once last year, she couldn't forget the taste.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I saw that you have a refrigerator at home. These grilled eels need to be frozen, otherwise they will go bad."

"My refrigerator is so small, how can I put a whole box of eels in it? Director Li, please take some back."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's okay. If you can't let it go, you can give it away. I still have a lot in the factory."

Li Duoyu sat down and chatted with his in-laws for a while, only then did he learn that his sister-in-law had just started having labor pains this morning after the check-up yesterday, and might give birth tonight or tomorrow morning.

Due to some strange rules between the two places, Li Duoyu could not visit the hospital, and even after the child was born, he could not visit. He could only come when the child was one month old.

After staying at his in-laws' house for more than an hour, Li Duoyu left. His in-laws originally planned to let them live in the house allocated by Jinchuan.

But Li Duoyu felt it was too crowded. His eldest brother's house, which was even smaller than his uncle's, really couldn't accommodate so many people.

It was still somewhat inconvenient, so I took my parents to stay in a guesthouse.

At first, Li Duoyu had planned to take them to stay at the Foreign Trade Center Hotel, but now all cities and towns are open.

As long as you have connections and foreign currency, you can stay in this kind of hotel that only receives foreign guests and leaders.

But think about it, this kind of hotel has too many rules and is really not suitable for my parents. If I take them to live there, it will cause them psychological burden.

Especially the Western food with only fork and knife, which must have made them feel very embarrassed. The doorman's bending greeting and the waiter's attentive service must have made them quite embarrassed.

After all, people are most comfortable when they live in a consumption environment that suits them. Both too high and too low will cause discomfort.

Finally, Li Duoyu chose a guesthouse that was very close to Rongcheng Maternal and Child Health Hospital. From here, it only takes about five minutes to walk to the hospital.

If my eldest brother and sister-in-law need help, my father and mother can still take care of them.

After arranging everything, Li Duoyu took the remaining two boxes of grilled eels, called a tricycle and went to Rongcheng compound.

With the experience from last time, Li Duoyu took the lead in opening the foam box after seeing the soldiers standing guard with guns in the sentry box and said:

"Comrade, I'm looking for Chef Liu Sanduo. Can you please notify him that Li Duoyu from Dandan Island has sent some grilled eels over?"

Seeing how sensible he was, the soldier said, "Okay, just register your identity information and leave your stuff here."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Comrade, this is really troublesome. This box of things I have is frozen. If it is left for too long, it will go bad."

"I know. I'll notify him right away." As soon as Li Duoyu left, the soldier immediately called Chef Liu.

But what he didn't expect was that Chef Liu came with Secretary Huang.

"Where's the delivery person?"

"left already."

Huang Da Mi frowned and said, "From now on, if this guy named Li Duoyu comes to deliver something, just keep him here and don't let him run away. Got it?"

The guard was stunned for a few seconds, thinking that this person had committed a serious crime, but the next second, he heard Secretary Huang say: "This kid is really ignorant. He has come here but he doesn't know how to meet the leader." (End of this chapter)
