In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After leaving Rongcheng compound, Li Duoyu went to the Fisheries Bureau again. After putting his things in the message room, he was just about to leave when he was recognized by the old man in the message room.

"You must be Li Duoyu."

"Wait a moment, I'll go talk to the director."

Li Duoyu originally planned to leave after delivering the things, but he was invited in for tea and met some acquaintances here.

Zhang Jinglin, and He Mei.

These two people were the class leaders when Li Duoyu was taking Japanese language training at Rongcheng University. After spending some time together, they became quite familiar with each other.

But this time, I didn't see Zhao Jialu at the Fisheries Bureau. He had gone to the Fisheries Research Institute two days ago to coordinate work with Director Zhang.

When Li Duoyu was drinking tea with Director Wu, the other party suddenly asked: "Everyone seems to be saying that Jialu went to the lower level for gilding. Was it you who pointed him in the direction?"

Li Duoyu frowned slightly and replied with a smile: "Who is spreading rumors? How can I give directions to Mr. Zhao?"

Director Wu smiled. He knew Zhao Jialu's character very well. How could a young master who was used to living in the city go to such a remote place?

Director Wu poured some tea for Li Duoyu and then said, "Jialu, this guy is quite special. If he plays badly, many people will be happy."

"But once he starts to make progress, there will definitely be a lot of eyes staring at him. Some want to see him laugh, some want to see him fall. In short, even Zhao Jialu's own relatives may not want him to succeed."

Li Duoyu pretended to be surprised and said, "Is that so? He was too arrogant in the past and offended too many people. Now that Director Wu is no longer protecting him, everyone wants to get rid of him."

Wu Yuping was stunned for a moment and found that this kid was really good at playing dumb.

"To be honest, this move of yours is a bit risky. If Zhao Jialu goes to the grassroots level, it might bring you trouble."

"There's no trouble at all. Even if we're close to Dandan Island, his cherry mouth can eat a few of my fish."

Wu Yuping rolled his eyes at him and said, "That's the best. Protect your fish. You are the treasure of our Fisheries Bureau. Zhao Jialu may be in trouble, but we don't want anything to happen to you."

"From now on, please take good care of me, Director Wu."

Li Duoyu was naturally very clear about this. Zhao Jialu's resources were too good. Once he got serious, someone would definitely get anxious.

If he were to achieve some success, it would even affect the advancement of some people.

Perhaps the positions that originally belonged to them would be squeezed out, which led to many people not wanting to see Zhao Jialu succeed.

What Director Wu said just now was to remind him that in the future, he should try not to get too close to Zhao Jialu to avoid getting into trouble.

At the same time, it also roughly points out which group of people might target Zhao Jialu.

After all, many people are unwilling to see the prodigal son return. For example, when he first came into this world, the people who least wanted him to change for the better were the group of people he hung out with.

But Li Duoyu was too lazy to think too much. He just needed to take good care of his one-third acre of land and do a good job of breeding.

The second sister-in-law in the previous life taught Li Duoyu a very profound truth: as long as you don't mess around, the money will not run away.

When Li Duoyu returned to the guesthouse, it was already afternoon. Zhou Xiaoying said, "My father and mother went to the hospital to take care of my sister-in-law. I went to see them, but I couldn't help, so I came back."

Li Duoyu said to Zhou Xiaoying: "You have been studying here for so many years. We are unfamiliar with Rongcheng. How about you take us around?"

Zhou Xiaoying gave him a look of disdain. If Li Duoyu said that he was not familiar with Rongcheng, she would not believe it at all. When they were smuggling, he and Agui came here many times to fool around.

At least half of the money I earned during those years was spent on dance halls in Rongcheng.

Although Zhou Xiaoying stayed in Rongcheng for three years, she spent most of her time studying at school and rarely went out to play.

For a moment, she didn't know where to go. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Why don't we go see the store we bought?"

Hearing this, Li Duoyu remembered that he also had a family business in Rongcheng.

"Okay, let's go take a look. It's a commercial street. We can buy some nice clothes for you and your son."

"I have enough clothes, I don't need to buy more. Besides, as a teacher, I will have a bad influence on students if I wear too flashy clothes."

"You can wear it for me, why do you want to show it to students? We can buy some lace silk pajamas."

Zhou Xiaoying was quite speechless about Li Duoyu's words, but she could do nothing about it: "Then let's buy a set."

Li Duoyu opened his mouth wide: "Is it really possible to buy it? Can I buy two colors, one set of white and one set of black?"

Li Duoyu had just finished speaking when he felt severe pain in his waist and inner legs. This time Zhou Xiaoying didn't show him any mercy and used both hands to hit Li Duoyu so hard that his face was deformed.

Not long after.

The two came to the most prosperous commercial street in Rongcheng, where the Post and Telecommunications Building and the Mass Cinema were nearby.

Especially the Post and Telecommunications Building, which was packed with people coming in and out, and you could see two-box buses shuttling back and forth on the streets from time to time.

But in this era, bicycles are definitely the main means of transportation. Cars and taxis cannot go fast on the road. Once you arrive at such a busy place, you have to keep honking the horn.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at her three stores and smiled widely, because the business of those three stores was very good.

If the business is good, there won't be frequent changes of tenants, which saves a lot of trouble. Zhou Xiaoying suddenly said, "Duoyu, you said the business is so good, should we raise the rent after our shared lease expires?"

"You've made a lot of money from Eel recently, so why don't we buy a few more stores? Business here is so good, and it looks like we'll make a lot of money. If we had known, we would have bought a few more stores."

Li Duoyu stared at his wife with wide eyes. According to what the young people in his previous life said, could it be that Xiaoying was born with the holy body of a landlady?

Li Duoyu also thought it was feasible: "Okay, then I'll talk to the middleman and if there are good stores available and the price is right, we'll buy a few more stores."

Seeing Li Duoyu and his friends stopping at the door of the store, the shopping guide came out and greeted them.

"Would you like to take a look? There's a discount recently, it's a good deal."

Li Duoyu glanced at Zhou Xiaoying and said generously, "Okay, I'll buy some nice clothes for my wife."

The salesperson smiled and said, "You look like someone who loves his wife very much."

"It's true that I love my wife, but you can't kill me."

"Of course not. We are doing long-term business and have clearly marked prices."

When Li Duoyu came out of the store carrying a lot of bags, Zhou Xiaoying felt heartbroken and distressed: "I feel like she has earned back the rent for this month."

Li Duoyu burst into laughter when he heard this. Zhou Xiaoying glared at him and said, "What's so funny?"

"If you were my landlord, I would really feel a lot of pressure."

As for shopping, Xiao Tutu found it very boring and kept looking at the cars outside.

As he was watching, he fell asleep on Li Duoyu's shoulder, and his white shirt was wet with saliva.

Seeing that there was still time, Li Duoyu said to the sleeping Tutu, "Wake up, we are going to the zoo."

Hearing the word "zoo", little Tutu opened his eyes with difficulty. After coming to his senses, his eyes suddenly opened wide. "Dad, are you going to take me to see the pandas?"

Seeing that there was still saliva on his face, Zhou Xiaoying wiped Tutu's face with a handkerchief she carried with her and said, "West Lake happens to be next to the zoo, why don't we go take a look too."

"You may have."

There is also a West Lake in Rongcheng. In his previous life, when he was watching short videos, he learned that there are thirty-six West Lakes in the world.

Hangzhou West Lake ranks first.

Although the West Lake in Rongcheng is not big, it can still squeeze into the top eight, ranking eighth, and it is also a well-known West Lake.

To be honest, Li Duoyu is used to living on the island and doesn't like these man-made landscapes.

But everyone's aesthetic taste is different, and some people particularly like these exquisite gardens.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of West Lake Park, many photographers with cameras on their backs asked everyone they met: "Do you want to take a photo? It's one yuan per photo and we will deliver it to your home."

Li Duoyu feels that in this era, doing this business really makes a lot of money.

At this time, a family of tourists from other places happened to be harassed by them, and the family took out their cameras and said, "No need, we have our own cameras."

But if they want to take a family photo, they need help, and those who help take photos will definitely not be willing to help them.

So, this out-of-town tourist just happened to choose a tourist who looked relatively honest in the crowd to help take photos.

"Just stand here and press this button."

As soon as they posed, the honest "tourist" took two steps back and ran across the street with his camera.

This sudden scene left the whole family at a loss, and it took them several seconds to react.

"Someone is stealing the camera."

"Help me, someone is stealing something."

As a result, those who were in the photography business all laughed at him:
"It was something that could have been solved by spending a little money, but now even my camera has been stolen."

Li Duoyu was also stunned. He had stayed in the village for so long in this life that he almost forgot that this was a good era with "simple folk customs".

He also brought a camera, and just now he almost followed the example of the tourists and just found someone to help take a group photo, but now he thinks better of it.

Little Tutu was also dumbfounded, but luckily he didn’t seem to understand it very well, otherwise the content of the first lesson in “entering society” would really be a bit inappropriate for children.

Li Duoyu simply acted as a photographer and took pictures of Zhou Xiaoying and Xiao Tutu. Zhou Xiaoying was very happy and even kissed Xiao Tutu.

But little Tutu wasn't very interested in the flowers and plants, and kept shouting, "Let's go to the zoo."

After walking for a while, Li Duoyu and his companions arrived at the zoo. At that time, the Rongcheng Zoo had not yet moved and was located inside the West Lake.

It can be said that most tourists who arrive at West Lake go to the zoo.

But when they arrived at the zoo entrance, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying were stunned. The entrance was full of people and they had to queue up to buy tickets.

There was a person riding a bicycle nearby, with a white wooden box on the back of the bicycle, with the word "Popsicle" written in eye-catching red fonts on it.

The man pushing the bicycle shouted, "Popsicles, ice cream."

Due to strategic reasons, Rongcheng has not kept up with industrialization and does not have many large factories, but its soft power is still good.

The West Lake in Rongcheng ranks among the top eight, and its zoo is also among the best. CCTV came here to film a program a few years ago.

There are quite a lot of animals here, including elephants, pandas, lions and tigers.

The tickets to the zoo were not cheap at that time, costing three yuan each. Little Tutu naturally didn't count the money, so the two of them spent six yuan.

I didn't expect that a visit to the zoo was quite a luxury. No wonder the second brother had been reluctant to take Li Haoran to the zoo in the past few years. With his salary as an accountant back then, a whole trip would cost him half a month's salary.

Maybe it was because it was summer vacation, most people in the zoo were parents with their children. Li Duoyu even saw some children holding small notebooks, writing in their diaries while reading.

When little Tutu arrived here, his eyes widened. He had chased chickens and bullied dogs in the village.

He had never seen these animals before, but when he saw the elephant, he was actually scared by its huge size.

Li Duoyu glanced at the introduction on the elephant house and was stunned for a few seconds. The name of the elephant was Miondun.

It turns out that elephants can live so long. In his previous life, before he lost his sight, he accompanied his grandson to the zoo. The name of that elephant was also called Miondun. It seems that it is the same one.

Li Duoyu was silent for a while. Elephant probably didn't expect that he would have to spend the next half century in there.

At this moment, the broadcast in the zoo sounded: "Dear visitors, the last performance of Bass in the panda house is about to begin today."

After hearing the broadcast and seeing the crowd starting to rush towards the panda house, Li Duoyu immediately put little Tutu on his shoulders and started running.

Little Tutu smiled happily: "Dad, faster."

Li Duoyu laughed and said, "If it's any faster, your mother won't be able to keep up."

Because he ran fast, when they arrived at the panda house, there were already quite a few people there, but he still managed to grab a seat in the corner of the first row.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was a little dazed. He didn't expect that these pandas in the zoo were all old friends.

This panda named Bas is not only famous in China, but also quite famous around the world. It is it that opened the road to panda diplomacy.

It was also the prototype of "Panpan", the mascot of the Beijing Asian Games a few years later.

When Li Duoyu was working illegally in the island country, he had actually seen it several times on TV in the restaurant.

The Japanese are also quite obsessed with pandas. During the period when Bath was popular, there were always Japanese people who wanted to introduce pandas into their zoos.

I don’t know if it’s due to special training or just talent, but Bass seems to be particularly obedient to instructions and can perform some gymnastics moves very well.

"Come on, next, let's invite Bass to perform the barbell lifting show for everyone."

Following the introduction by the two hosts, Bass actually started lifting weights in front of everyone.

But after just a moment, Bass put it down. The host said with a smile: "Bass, you've worked all day, maybe you want to get off work."

After hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but laugh.

The panda's cute look is really endearing. Little Tutu was very happy to see it and even clapped along.

But Li Duoyu found that one of the breeders looked very familiar. If he was not mistaken, that person was the breeder who had been taking care of Bass for many years.

As Bass becomes more popular, his position also rises steadily, and he will become the person in charge of this base in the future.

But Li Duoyu also heard some bad things. After a giant panda named Long Fei died unexpectedly, he became a controversial figure. (End of this chapter)
