In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Alcohol is indeed a good thing for men. Once they are drunk, they will stop being pretentious and things will become easier to solve.

The banquet lasted until very late that day, and many people got drunk, but the relationship between the descendants of the Li family was indeed brought closer.

After this incident, Li Hanhai had a very high opinion of his junior Li Duoyu, but he also felt a sense of disharmony.

I always feel that there is a stench of worldly knowledge hidden under that young face, and he and I are all within his calculations.

"Ugh!"

Li Hanhai glanced at these young descendants, especially those with children, and couldn't help but sigh, with his eyes slightly red.

If he had been able to return from the border that year, his grandson would probably be this old now.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't regret what he did back then. The thing he regretted most in his life was signing his application form.

Even now, his wife is still reluctant to talk to him, and she can never get over the hurdle in her heart.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt a little lost and left first, saying that he was too old to drink.

When Zhao Jialu saw that his father-in-law was going home, he put down his wine bowl on the spot and ran over to see him off.

And that night, Li Duoyu, as the "leader", was the one who received special attention. Even though he was well versed in raising goldfish, he was still forced to drink the food and had his throat picked.

Li Duoyu didn't know how many years it had been since he had drunk so much. After getting drunk, he felt light-headed.

But even though he was almost drunk, Li Duoyu was still on guard. No matter what, he would remain restrained and not let himself get drunk.

Li Niantian, Li Zhengfa and others really didn't expect that Li Duoyu could actually solve the problem perfectly.

In the past, they always thought they were very powerful and important, but now, these children are much better than them.

They used to have a lot of worries, but now, the burden on their shoulders has been lightened a lot, and they also plan to take a break and do some of the things they want to do.

But the second uncle was still smoking his pipe with a sad face. He looked at his children and grandchildren who were only concerned with drinking and eating, and couldn't help but sighed: "It's true that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

It was he who did not educate them well, so he could not blame anyone else.

When Li Duoyu returned to the guesthouse, it was already past one in the morning and Zhou Xiaoying was still awake.

When I saw him come back, I quickly got him some boiled water and made a basin for him to soak his feet.

"You must have drunk a lot today. The weather is a bit cold, so let's soak our feet."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I drank so much and came back so late, aren't you angry?"

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him: "What's wrong? You didn't do anything wrong, why should I be angry?"

Li Duoyu suddenly realized: "That's right, I didn't do anything wrong. I even dealt with those overseas Chinese relatives today. They drank more than me tonight. Isn't that amazing?"

Zhou Xiaoying smiled and said, "Great, very great."

Li Duoyu burped and suddenly felt his stomach churning again, and Zhou Xiaoying immediately handed him a basin.

She stood behind him, patted his back gently, and handed him a glass of water: "Rinse your mouth."

The reason why Li Duoyu said this was that he was influenced by his son in his previous life. Since he was a public official, he often had to attend social events, but every time he came back drunk, he would be scolded by his daughter-in-law.

Most of the time, they refused to let him go back to his room to sleep and made him sleep on the sofa in the hall.

At that time, although Li Duoyu was very unhappy about what he heard, he didn't dare to say anything, because he knew very well that if he showed even a little bit of favoritism, the family would immediately be in chaos.

Li Duoyu looked at Zhou Xiaoying in front of him and said with a smile: "I am so lucky to marry such a good wife."

Zhou Xiaoying was speechless. She always felt that Li Duoyu seemed to become more disgusting as he got older.

Although it was quite disgusting, I felt soft-hearted because those hands just loved to touch me randomly, and they kept mumbling, "If you're good, then is there a reward?"

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "Stop making trouble and go to bed quickly. You still have to go to the ancestral tombs early tomorrow morning."

She had just finished speaking when she turned around and found Li Duoyu sleeping with his pillow in his arms. He seldom snored normally, but today he snored particularly loudly.

Zhou Xiaoying sighed helplessly and had to pick up little Tutu and put him to sleep on another small iron bed.

Zhou Xiaoying took what he vomited and dumped it out in the public toilet outside. After finishing the matter, she went to bed.

Tomb sweeping the next day was quite simple, as the tomb of Li's ancestors was on a nearby hill.

After a group of descendants finished paying homage, Li Duoyu's branch and the overseas Chinese branch each took a little grave soil and ancestral hall ashes.

After this step, the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to one's roots is officially over.

When the soil from the grave is brought back, it should be sprinkled on their great-grandfather's grave, and the ashes from the ancestral hall should be put into the incense burner of their ancestral hall.

Li Duoyu and his friends were planning to go back, but the overseas Chinese relatives, after listening to what Li Duoyu said last night.

I especially wanted to visit his shrimp farm and eel farm, and visit Dandan Island as well.

Although the relationship between the two branches has become much closer, some overseas Chinese relatives are still a little dissatisfied.

Because yesterday when we were drinking, the relatives in China praised this Li Duoyu to a godly level, especially the son-in-law named Zhao Jialu, who even admired him very much.

It is said that he is the number one person in aquaculture in Fujian Province. If he continues to develop, he may even surpass overseas provinces.

And they also heard that his annual income alone would exceed one million this year.

After all, the RMB is very big now, and one RMB can be exchanged for a lot of things with them.

If calculated based on the exchange rate, the money Li Duoyu earns is even more than that of their entire family.

Originally, they returned to their country to recognize their ancestors and to show off. In addition to giving red envelopes to their relatives, they also planned to spend some money to renovate the ancestral temple and repair the ancestral tombs.

But I found that these relatives in Rongcheng are actually quite powerful. Some of them are officials, and some of them make money.

Apart from their overseas Chinese identity, they could not find any sense of accomplishment among their relatives. Instead, they were shocked by this young man named Li Duoyu.

When I saw that he not only owned an imported Crown car but also an equally expensive fishing boat, I understood that he was probably not just pretending to be rich but was actually very rich.

These overseas Chinese relatives felt a little hot on their faces and suddenly felt like clowns.

They really have this car, but they are too lazy to drive it over to show off. However, all their cars are provided by the hotel.

Just like today, after learning that they were going to Shangfeng Town, the hotel refused to provide them with a car.

Because the hotel's cars were only available in Rongcheng and its suburbs, they had no choice but to squeeze into Li Duoyu's fishing boat. Indonesia, where they were, was originally a country with many islands, and you could tell whether a boat was good or not just by looking at it.

At least they were sure that even for them, buying a ship like this would be a huge loss.

But what shocked them even more was yet to come. When they arrived at Qixing Bay, Li Yaoguo raised his hand high and casually drew a circle.

"This area is all contracted by Duoyu. On the beach, all the clams are cultivated. At present, there are a total of 300 acres of shrimp ponds and nurseries. If the second phase of the nursery is completed, it will be about 5,000 square meters and can have more than 80 nursery ponds.

On the other side is the feed factory and the aquatic research building."

During the visit, what shocked these relatives the most was that they thought domestic aquaculture started relatively late.

There will definitely be chaos in management and technology, but I didn’t expect that not only all the equipment are imported.

The entire management method and process are many times better than that of their small factory.

The shrimps and blue crabs we raised are really very good. Especially when I learned that the selling price of shrimps this year is only ten yuan, I was so envious.

After visiting the shrimp farm in Qixing Bay, several overseas Chinese relatives who were younger than Li Duoyu changed their words unconsciously.

"Brother, how did you do it? You are so amazing! You are much better than the farmers over there."

Li Duoyu smiled and said modestly: "This is all thanks to the blessing of our island's Mazu."

After hearing this, Li Hanqing, the leader, suddenly said, "It's been a while since we came back, but we haven't gone to worship Mazu yet. Now that we are here, let's go to the island and worship sincerely, and visit your grandfather while we're here."

"Okay."

When they arrived at Dandan Island, they learned that the entire endless kelp field belonged to Li Duoyu. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dislocated.

This is far more than a million in assets. Just based on what they saw, it could be more than two million.

But their shock was far from over when a young man pointed to the densely packed bamboo poles on the mudflat not far away.

Li Yaoguo smiled and said, "That is also an oyster field with a lot of fish. The tidal flat area on our island is actually not very large, so the scale of the oyster field is a little smaller, only about 300 acres.

There are also many fish in the reclaimed ponds. This side has about two hundred acres of land.”

When they arrived at the eel factory, Li Yaoguo continued to introduce: "There is another eel factory like this one in Nanri Town, which is a little bigger than this one. There is also a seafood processing factory planned on the island, which will produce canned hairtail, black bean curd anchovies, kelp shreds, etc."

These overseas Chinese relatives have become numb. They wanted to go home and show off, but they didn't expect to be shown off by others.

Moreover, they accepted their defeat sincerely. The leader Li Hanqing glanced at the junior named Li Duoyu.

I felt that what he did yesterday was already very respectful to him. If he had this much wealth, he would probably be looking up at the sky and walking sideways.

Finally, Li Hanqing led his people to the Mazu Temple on Dandan Island to burn a few incense sticks and kneel down to worship devoutly.

He went to the north slope to pay homage to Li Duoyu's grandfather, poured two glasses of wine on the ground, and said calmly:

"Fourth Uncle, although I hate you, my father has forgiven you a long time ago. In the last few months, he kept talking about wanting to come back to see you. You are the best student in our family. I hope you can bless our Li family to be safe and that our descendants will all be able to study."

After the worship, these overseas Chinese relatives thought for a while and solemnly proposed cooperation to Li Duoyu.

Because during the visit, they also saw a lot of business opportunities, as there are many islands there.

There was naturally no shortage of sea fish and shrimp, so there was no need to buy them from here, but they were attracted by the dried oysters, grilled eels, the black bean anchovies that Li Duoyu was planning to make, and various canned fish.

Especially the anchovy, which they don't have. In recent years, this small fish has been very popular among them.

Almost every overseas Chinese who returns to visit relatives will bring some back and share it with other relatives.

So they affectionately call it: homesickness fish!
Li Duoyu readily agreed: "When the time comes, I will contact you when my processing plant is up and running."

"Okay, let's leave each other our contact information and phone numbers."

After having a simple seafood noodle meal on the island, these overseas Chinese relatives planned to return to Rongcheng.

Leave that time.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, I heard that the locals over there are not very friendly to us Chinese."

After hearing this, these overseas Chinese relatives were stunned for a moment. Li Hanqing really didn't expect that this young man even knew about this matter.

When Li Duoyu asked this, a young man gritted his teeth and cursed: "A bunch of natives and bumpkins, lazy and unable to make money, always thinking of stealing our money."

Because some time ago, he was bullied by a local, but the entire judicial system was biased towards the locals, and the other party ended up getting nothing wrong.

Halfway through the conversation, Li Duoyu suddenly said seriously: "Rongcheng will always be your hometown. If the situation becomes unstable in the future, remember that there are still people in your hometown. There is no need to stay outside. Maybe it would be a good idea to return to China for development."

After all, in the late 1990s, some very bad incidents occurred in the country where they were located, and the Chinese there were the victims.

After hearing what Li Duoyu said, these overseas Chinese relatives were very happy and suddenly had an inexplicable sense of belonging.

"When the time comes, if we really come back, don't tell me you didn't recognize us."

"Surely not. Do I look like that kind of person?"

Several overseas Chinese relatives looked at each other, and it was really hard to decide for a moment.

When Li Hanqing heard this, the knot in his heart seemed to be finally untied.

Even now, he still feels like a dependent. If it weren't for the entire family business being there, he would really want to return to his hometown.

I really want the descendants of my family to work with this young man in front of me.

But even though he thought so, the old man was still very stubborn and snorted: "If your grandfather had been half as good as you, our family wouldn't have hated him for so long."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's okay. I haven't seen him since I was a child. Uncle, if you are unhappy, you can scold him a few more times."

After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

Li Hanqing shook his head: "Now that the person is gone, there is no point in scolding him. We are leaving now."

After saying that, the old man boarded the fishing boat, and the rest of the overseas Chinese relatives also got on board.

As the sound of "rumbling" was heard, the fishing boat driven by Li Shuguang opened up a river in the sea under the setting sun.

Old Li, smoking a cigarette, stood beside Li Duoyu and said sincerely: "Dad, I am really proud." (End of this chapter)
