In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After selling all the jellyfish, Li Duoyu planned to rest at home for a few days. He had been very busy during this period and had no time to spend with his family.

Li Haoran, who was temporarily staying in his house, had become visibly rounder these days.

His classmates were almost envious of him, but Li Haoran was switching between happiness and pain every day.

Happy is.

You can watch TV while the air conditioner is on.

The painful thing is.

My aunt has been in a bad mood recently, and today it seems like the weather will turn from sunny to cloudy, with the possibility of heavy rain.

In places like theirs, it's easy for heavy rain to hit in the afternoon.

The feeling his aunt gave him recently was like the sky before a rainstorm, gloomy most of the time.

Li Haoran felt that his aunt’s bad mood might be related to his uncle. Recently, his uncle has been very busy and anxious every day.

He would just take a few bites of rice each time. Before his aunt had finished cooking the next dish, he would say he was full and then go out.

As a result, after my aunt had finally cooked a table full of food, there was still a lot of leftovers, and that's how he gained another four or five pounds.

But Li Haoran felt that another reason why his aunt was unhappy was because she was too bored.

When my uncle was still smuggling, my aunt would go to the dock to mend fishing nets to earn some money. But since she had children, every summer vacation, my aunt is either cleaning or taking care of the children.

Besides, Li Puyi is really naughty and difficult to deal with. As soon as he wakes up every day, he clamors to go out and play.

Yesterday, I used my hands to pick up duck poop.

He also licked his fingers.

He was so disgusted that he was naturally scolded by his aunt. His two hands were stretched out and beaten with a bamboo whip.

My aunt was very angry and said, "In the future, will you dare to catch ducks and duck poop again?"

Little Tutu cried and said, "I will never dare to do it again, but I always wash my hands after catching duck poop."

"Where did you wash it?"

"The water tank in the kitchen."

After hearing this, the corners of Li Haoran's mouth twitched. His aunt was furious on the spot. She took off his pants and gave him a severe beating.

During the days he stayed at his uncle's house, Li Haoran finally understood that if his aunt was unhappy, he, the guest, would also suffer.

Because my aunt has a very special way of venting her unhappiness, either by reading a book or by learning English.

Li Haoran really admired this point. It seemed that his aunt was the same. He had heard his grandmother talk about it.

My aunt didn’t have such good grades before. One time, she had an argument with my grandfather and the two of them didn’t speak to each other for half a year.

My aunt was also very stubborn. She stayed in her room every day to study hard. As a result, she got first place in the exam.

As expected, those who are good at studying are all special. Unlike him, when he is unhappy, he only thinks about eating.

Another thing that made Li Haoran collapse was that his aunt was so amazing that she could not only teach elementary school content, but also junior high school content.

Seeing that he had not reviewed the junior high school textbooks during this period, I followed my aunt's example and prepared some of the first-year junior high school content for him.

This is not the most frustrating thing. There is an English program called "Learn with Me" on TV, which is a must-see for my aunt.

It just happened to conflict with the time of the cartoon he wanted to watch, but he didn't even dare to say, "I want to watch cartoons."

And when his aunt watched this English program, she would ask him to read along.

The air-conditioned room was very comfortable, but Li Haoran was really scared. Seeing his classmates having so much fun outside, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

Not long ago, the students in their class organized an activity called roasting sweet potatoes and fishing. They also dug a lot of clams on the beach and then camped outside.

They have been loving playing in the scooping holes recently. There are several large natural puddles in the reef area east of the village.

When the tide comes in, they throw in fish scraps from the pier to attract fish, crabs and conchs into the pit.

When the tide goes out, a group of them use buckets to scoop out the sea water.

Last time they caught several big fish in the pit and sold them for a lot of money. It is said that each of them got two popsicles.

Speaking of popsicles, Li Haoran really wants to eat red bean paste popsicles and the newly released ice cream.

Thinking of this, Li Haoran couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It is said that the ice cream is soft, sweet, and has a milky flavor, and tastes very good.

But it's too expensive, fifty cents for one, and there's no way my mother would buy it for him.

Sitting on the steps, Li Haoran looked at the iron gate in front of him. He used to want to come in every day.

But after coming in, he dreamed about going out every night. Compared with TV and air conditioning, he still preferred going out to play.

But he was really afraid of his aunt and didn't even have the courage to tell her that he wanted to go home and live.

At this moment, the iron gate was pushed open and his uncle came back humming a song he didn't understand.

Li Haoran hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing that Li Haoran was already alive and kicking, Li Duoyu asked, "Is your leg better?"

Li Haoran quickly pulled his pants up. Although there were still some whip marks on them, there were no wounds.

Li Duoyu pressed it gently and asked, "Does it still hurt now?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, but it still itches a little occasionally."

“That’s a good recovery.”

Little Fatty was lucky. The treatment was timely this time. In addition, he stayed in an air-conditioned room these days and applied alum water every day, so the ulcer did not occur.

"Uncle, can I..."

Before Li Haoran finished speaking, little Tutu heard the noise and ran out of the room. Like a koala, he hung directly on his father's calf, looking aggrieved:
".My mother won't let me go out to play."

Li Duoyu touched Xiao Tutu's head, and then whispered to Li Haoran:
"How is your aunt recently? Has she gone out for a walk with you guys?"

Li Haoran shook his head, then whispered back: "It shouldn't be very good. Every time you run away after dinner, my aunt looks the ugliest."

Li Duoyu touched his chin and frowned. He was indeed very busy recently and hardly stayed at home.

In fact, Li Duoyu also planned to compensate Zhou Xiaoying in another way, but the fat little boy had been living in their house for some time, and she resisted every time, which made him unable to start.

To be honest, if a woman takes care of children at home for a long time, plus does laundry, cooking, and mopping the floor every day, it is inevitable that she will have a bad temper.

Li Duoyu could understand this. After all, Zhou Xiaoying was different from those traditional women who worked hard and never complained. She still had some personality.

Little Tutu kept pulling at Li Duoyu's pants and said in a baby voice, "I haven't gone out to play for a week."

Li Duoyu, whose pants were almost pulled off, picked him up and said, "You really didn't go out." Little Tutu nodded like a little chicken.

Li Haoran also smiled and said, "Uncle, I can testify that during this period, Xiao Tutu did not go out to play, but played with me all the time."

"That's it."

Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "By the way, I haven't seen Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun for a long time, what are they doing?"

"They spent their summer vacation helping sell things in their aunt's store, and they didn't go out to play."

Li Duoyu felt that this was not a good idea. If rural children were not wild, their childhood would be incomplete.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoying who was busy in the kitchen, Li Duoyu went over and said:

"Comrade Xiaoying, we haven't been out for a walk for a long time. It seems that the tide is receding now. Do you want to take the children to the beach to play together?"

Zhou Xiaoying thought for a while and said, "You take them out to play. I still have to cook at home, otherwise you won't have anything to eat when you come back."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "It has nothing to do with the child. It's mainly about you. If you don't go, it will be meaningless. We haven't gone to the beach for a walk for a long time."

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him. To be honest, she was a little looking forward to it. She had been listening to the song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" quite often recently.

"The evening breeze blows gently across Penghu Bay
White waves chase the beach,
There is no coconut grove to decorate the setting sun
Just a sea of ​​blue"

I really want to walk barefoot on the beach. Zhou Xiaoying sighed and said, "My mother is not here. If I don't cook, no one will have anything to eat. You should take them there."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "How about this? Let's go and ask Xiao Hai for help. I'll cook tonight and cook whatever we catch. How do you think?"

Zhou Xiaoying tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "But I still want to eat the cucumber jellyfish you made."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I can give you a whole cucumber to eat."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, but she just didn't understand what Li Duoyu was talking about.

At this time, Li Duoyu stepped forward and took off her apron, touched it and commented: "It seems that the flesh has become more, but also bigger."

Zhou Xiaoying's face suddenly became gloomy. She turned towards the stove and picked up a cooking spatula.

"I've tolerated you for a long time, you know, you're just like a gangster, and you dare to say I'm fat."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Duoyu ran away, muttering: "Teacher Zhou, please give me some face. After all, I am the village director and an outstanding entrepreneur."

"I prefer fatter ones, so they won't hurt when I bump into them."

Seeing his father and mother chasing after him, little Tutu actually clapped his hands happily: "Come on, Mom."

He even encouraged the idiot, "Go chase daddy too."

Idiot also shouted happily twice, then ran after them.

Li Duoyu was speechless: "You little bastard, who bought you the toy?"

Although she was running around in the yard, Zhou Xiaoying couldn't catch up with Li Duoyu, and her chest was heaving with panting:

"Stop it, you hear me?"

"Only a fool would stop. I will stop if you promise not to hit me."

But Li Duoyu obviously slowed down his pace and shouted, "I am so tired in this hot weather. I can't run anymore."

When Zhou Xiaoying saw him slowing down, she rushed forward and wanted to hit him with a shovel, but then she thought better of it.

But she was really angry, so she stretched out her right hand and twisted it towards his waist.

Li Duoyu's face was deformed from the pain and he kept shouting, "It hurts, it hurts."

Zhou Xiaoying had a look of disgust on her face. She had just touched the flesh and hadn't even started twisting it, but the guy was already crying out in pain.

She hadn't intended to twist it, but the bastard said, "Be gentle. I've lost weight recently and don't have much flesh. It will hurt if you twist it."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying felt that if she didn't twist, it would be disrespectful to him, so she turned left 90 degrees and then rotated 180 degrees.

After twisting it, Zhou Xiaoying hummed, "I'm going to change my clothes. You guys prepare the bucket and rake."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaoying glanced at Li Haoran, and then asked, "Haoran, can we go out now?"

Li Duoyu looked at him and deliberately made an embarrassed expression: "Let me think about it."

At this moment, Li Haoran was about to cry. Since no one went out to play, so forget it.

But if everyone goes out to play and he is the only one left to look after the house, Li Haoran's nose felt a little sour when he thought of this. He suddenly remembered that he had refused to go to the zoo to see the pandas not long ago, and he felt quite aggrieved in an instant.

Seeing Li Haoran lowering his head and drawing circles on the ground with his toes, Li Duoyu smiled and said:

"It should be fine. Haoran is recovering well. Just don't touch the sea water."

After hearing this, Li Haoran suddenly looked up, his chubby face full of a bright smile, laughing so hard that his eyes were almost invisible.

Zhou Xiaoying said, "It will be more lively with more people. Let's invite Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun to come as well. It seems that they have been helping to look after the store during the summer vacation and haven't gone out to play."

"Okay, then I'll just go call Xiao Chao and the others. He's helping take care of my daughter recently, so he can bring her out to play."

Before setting off, everyone prepared a lot of things for raking clams. Li Duoyu took a small sea rake specially for raking clams, and an iron crowbar for prying barnacles and oysters.

The little fat boy was carrying a big bucket. Since his uncle told him not to touch water, he went home and put on a pair of rain boots.

Little Tutu was holding a small fire shovel and shouting, "I want to go to the beach to dig sand."

Seeing that everyone was carrying so many things, Erbaiwu seemed to understand that everyone was going out to play, and kept circling around the little master.

Before, the idiot always followed his master around, and every time his master came back, he was the first to pick him up.

But every time it went up to rub its owner's feet, the little owner would come over and grab its tail and drag it away angrily.

After one or two times, Erbaiwu realized that in this house, he could not compete with the little master for a position, and now he always revolves around the little master.

Li Duoyu simply called one person, but he didn't expect that the team that went to ask Xiaohai would be so large.

In addition to these people, Chen Wenchao's whole family came, even Liu Xiaolan, who had just become pregnant, came along.

I don’t know who spread the news, but my second brother, who had just returned home, was directly caught by my second sister-in-law.

"If you have time, you should spend more time with Haoran, okay?"

In addition to my second brother and his wife, my eldest aunt, third aunt and others also came along, as well as several cousins-in-law.

The most exaggerated thing was that Chen Jianghe heard the news from somewhere, and came over with a bucket and a pair of fire tongs.

"Director Li, are you going to ask Xiao Hai for help? I'll go with you."

When the large group was leaving, they happened to meet Lin Shanshan and her child, and took them along.

Li Duoyu simply counted the number of people. There were actually more than ten of them. It seemed that they would have to prepare a table tonight. (End of this chapter)
