In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

I was scared by Xiao Tutu.

Li Duoyu's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished when he saw that the boy was still so excited and refused to go to bed.

Li Duoyu looked unhappy and started to lecture him on the spot: "What time is it? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Seeing that his father was very angry, Xiao Tutu, who had wanted to give him a surprise, suddenly felt wronged:
"I missed you so much, and then... I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, and I couldn't fall asleep."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu's heart instantly warmed up. This kid is annoying most of the time, but sometimes he can be quite likable.

Li Duoyu gently touched his head: "It's late, go to bed quickly."

Little Tutu moved over.

The little body hugged Li Duoyu's arm and said with a giggle: "I want to sleep with Daddy. Daddy hasn't slept with me for a long time."

"Did you disobey me today and get punished by your mother, so you come to stick to me now?"

"No, I was very good today. I just broke a vase."

"..."

Li Duoyu originally wanted to coax the kid to sleep and continue what he was doing, but he didn't expect that he would really get stuck to him.

But at this moment, some little kid outside was playing with firecrackers. With a "bang", little Tutu was so scared that he grabbed Li Duoyu's arm tightly and buried his little head in his body.

This guy usually acts like a tyrant and bullies all the dogs on the street. But I didn't expect him to be so timid that he is even afraid of the sound of firecrackers.

With his courage, it won't be easy for him to do evil in the future.

Li Duoyu patted his back gently. To be honest, although he was reborn, he seldom coaxed this little guy to sleep because he was busy with his career.

Maybe it was really too late, so Li Duoyu patted him on the back a few times.

The boy began to breathe evenly. Li Duoyu gently carried him aside and covered him with a quilt.

Then, he poked Zhou Xiaoying beside him with his finger and said, "Stop pretending. Hurry up and get up. I've put the child to sleep."

Zhou Xiaoying turned around and said, "Don't you need to stay at the shrimp farm? Aren't the eel fry and broodstock very important?"

"My second brother and Xiao Chao are all here. They are more meticulous than me. I am really redundant there."

Zhou Xiaoying smiled and said, "Hurry up and go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow morning to cook and go to worship with my mother."

"Teacher Zhou, it's the last day of this year. We have to work harder and try to have a baby bunny next year."

Teacher Zhou said speechlessly: "Wouldn't it be better if you could just be patient for a few more months and give birth to a dragon baby?"

"Baby bunnies are good, they are cute and quiet, while baby dragons are noisy."

Zhou Xiaoying snorted, "No, I want to be a baby dragon. Rabbits are not quiet. Have you ever heard of being as agile as a rabbit?"

"Anyway, I have birth control products, so these are all under control."

"Hurry up and go to bed. There will be a lot of things to do tomorrow. If I get up late, my mother will definitely scold me."

Li Duoyu then muttered, "If you don't cooperate with me now, in ten years, it will be my turn not to cooperate."

"."

Zhou Xiaoying was speechless. Just when she was about to compromise, someone set off a huge firework. The huge explosion shook the glass windows of her house.

Little Tutu, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by the fright. He immediately threw himself into Li Duoyu's arms and started crying.

Zhou Xiaoying patted his back and comforted him, "Tutu~ Don't be afraid, Dad and Mom are here, don't be afraid."

Li Duoyu held the little Tutu curled up in his arms. He felt that he was really small and looked half asleep and half awake.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, who has nothing better to do than to have too much money to spend? It's not even the New Year yet, and they're setting off fireworks in the middle of the night. I won't bring him along to make money next year."

What Li Duoyu didn't know was that not long ago, the final candidate for the Datou family had been decided at the Tianhou Temple.

The luck of Chenjia Village is still not very good. This year the big head family is still from Xiasha Village. Lao Lu from the second team is the big head family, and the second and third heads are from Chenjia Village.

The fireworks just set off were set off by Old Lu's family, and there are more than ten of them in the courtyard. I guess many people won't be able to sleep tonight.

Being elected as the head of the family this time is definitely a double blessing for Lao Lu, because his daughter Yanyan is about to give birth, in about two or three days.

After he was elected as the head of the family, the first wish he made to the goddess Mazu was to have a boy.

The son-in-law Zhang Yuansheng also worshipped very devoutly. He knew very well that his father-in-law was very patriarchal because his wife had not been able to give birth to a son for him.

That's why he spent money to find someone to marry into his family. If Yanyan's baby is not a boy, his father-in-law will definitely prepare supplements for him to take after the Chinese New Year.

But his wife has been eating too well recently. When he thinks about her weight, he really can't bear to look at it. Whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Yuansheng really wants to jump into the sea.

He really didn't want to work harder, so he worshipped more devoutly than his father-in-law and started kneeling three times and kowtow nine times.

"Pray for a boy."

"Pray for a boy."

Fireworks exploded in the night sky of Dandan Island, and many night owls came out specifically to watch the fireworks.

After all, fireworks are still very rare these days, and you may not be able to see them several times a year.

On New Year's Eve, before daybreak, many fishermen had already returned from fishing at the dock. The price of fish was really good this year.

The Rongcheng Farmers’ Market was open all night long, and some people hid the blue crabs and prawns until the last day.

Even frozen prawns have a retail price of 17 or 18 yuan, and live prawns soar to 20 yuan.

Most people cry out that they can’t afford it, but the more they can’t afford it, the more people buy it.

In the entire farmers' market, seafood produced by Minlong sells the best, from the kelp, oysters, grilled eels in the beginning, to the giant prawns this year.

The Minlong brand has been thoroughly promoted, and many people come here for this brand.

Li Duoyu did not open a store in the farmers' market, but Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company opened a large specialty store there.

[Dandan Island Minlong Aquatic Products Store]

Almost all the products of Minlong Company can be bought in this specialty store, including grilled eel, large oysters, live shrimp, and dried kelp.
In addition to Minlong products, the store also sells a lot of seafood from Dandan Island. The items are not cheap, but there are still many customers lining up to buy them.

In the past, the old employees of Xinyuan Aquatic Products always liked to say behind their backs that the two must be having an affair, which was why Mr. Chen took such good care of Li Duoyu.

But from the current situation, Mr. Chen has a really sharp vision. Two years ago, when Minlong had not yet developed, he foresaw the development potential of this company.

Although Xinyuan Group not only deals in aquatic products, this business is still their main business. Because of the cooperation with Minlong, it has really been brought to success.

Since hanging the kelp seedlings, Li Shuguang has organized a group of fishermen to fish in the open sea. Almost all the caught aquatic products are supplied to restaurants and hotels, and the main cooperation partner is Xinyuan Aquatic Products.

Early in the morning, some people started setting off firecrackers for worship. Li Duoyu was disturbed and couldn't sleep, so he simply woke up.

Zhou Xiaoying, who was a little tired, said, "The couplets have been written. If you have time, go and post them. They should also be posted on the fishing raft." Li Duoyu got up and put on his pants. When he came to the courtyard, he found that it was still dark outside. The stars and the moon were still there.

But half of the people on the island seemed to have woken up, and one could vaguely see smoke coming out of the chimneys of many houses.

The weather is still a bit cold.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but shiver, and then he started wandering around.

The first thing I did was to go to the pier and find that there were quite a lot of people there, just like in previous years.

Many people from other places come to their island to set up stalls and sell New Year's goods. In the past few years, there was only one boat coming, but now everyone knows that Dandan Island is rich.

This year, three boats came directly. The old place used for setting up stalls was not big enough for them, so they had to rent the square to them.

This year, the consumption capacity of Dandan Island did not disappoint them. Many vendors were out of stock, and now they can only watch others sell them.

"Xiasha Village is really rich. Other villages buy by the pound, but here they buy by the pound."

"It was the same with my melon seeds. Someone bought a whole bag of them. If I had known this earlier, I would have bought more."

A vendor smoking a cigarette said, "It's really fucking rich. I heard that some time ago, anyone who helped pick up the kelp seedlings and worked at the Minlong Company all made a lot of money."

"It would be great if our village had a village director like this who could help us make money."

"You think too much. It's good enough that your village director didn't make money from you. You still want him to help us make money."

"That's true. Villages like Xiasha are really rare."

Li Duoyu followed the smell and found the familiar tofu pudding stall.

"Boss, give me a bowl of sweet tofu pudding."

After hearing the voice, the stall owner looked up suddenly and immediately recognized Li Duoyu.

"Hey, Director Li, we finally got you here. Would you like another bowl of salty food?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and said, "No, just give me a bowl of sweet tofu pudding. Oh, and give me a fried dough stick and a triangle cake."

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away."

As a result, as soon as Li Duoyu sat down, someone came over immediately. It was the three boat captains who were responsible for transporting these vendors.

With something in his hand, Li Duoyu naturally knew what they were going to do: "If you have any problems, just go find Secretary Chen."

The three boat captains said, "We have found Secretary Chen. He went back yesterday."

One of the captains was the first to put the things in his hand on the table. Li Duoyu had some impression of this person.

But I only see him once a year, and I really forgot his last name. When I greeted him, I could only smile.

"Really, thank you Director Li for taking care of me over the years. This box contains Cordyceps sinensis, which was given to me by a relative. It is said to be from the west and is especially good for making soup."

Li Duoyu looked at the box of things he gave him in surprise, and couldn't help but say in his heart:
"Fuck!"

There are at least several hundred cordyceps in this box in front of me, and each one is very thick. If it were of this quality in the previous life, each one could be sold for at least 80 yuan!

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. This bug, hasn't been fried yet?

Still not worth the money?

The other two boat captains also gave Li Duoyu something, but this time it was not food, but an exquisite ornament.

A cork painting in the shape of a welcoming pine tree, covered with glass, looks quite delicate and elegant.

Li Duoyu has always known about this thing. This thing is not cheap at all. Even the wood is made of imported materials.

They gave him such valuable things, so wouldn't his work over the past two days be in vain? Li Duoyu frowned. If he accepted it and someone with ulterior motives found out, he would inevitably be gossiped about.

But what if you don’t accept it?

But it seems that he is not a good person.

After all, in this era, if you have power and don’t accept gifts, you are a real weirdo.

Li Duoyu thought about it and accepted the gifts from the three ship captains, risking breaking the law.

But after accepting their gifts, he immediately went home and filled a whole bag of dried oysters and gave them to the three ship captains.

Reciprocity!
Lao Mi, a fishmonger who usually has little business, has been working all night these days. His dark circles are particularly obvious, but he is still shouting.

"The trash is only a dime."

"Shoe insole fish three hair."

“60 cents for sea bass.”

After hearing the price, Li Duoyu was a little dazed. The price of seafood really skyrocketed. The purchase price of miscellaneous fish was only about two cents before.

No one wants shoe-pad fish, and sea bass is only 20 cents, but now the price has almost doubled.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Uncle Mi, you are so old now, take it easy and don't work so hard."

Old Mi snorted:
"I only have business during these few days of the whole twelfth lunar month. You won't let me make money. I'm starving to death. Please support me."

Li Duoyu said disdainfully: "Give birth to so many sons, just find someone to raise you, isn't it just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, is it that difficult?"

Mickey rolled his eyes at him, and really was talking about something irrelevant: "I've come to terms with it now. I'll make my own money and spend it myself. I'll spend the New Year on the island this year."

Li Duoyu's eyes widened, and then he quickly said, "When your sons ask you for money, don't sell me out. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Old Man Mi smiled and said, "That has nothing to do with Li Duoyu. If they make a fuss, I'll ask them to go find the village director."

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. He decided not to be a good person and meddle in other people's affairs in the future.

In addition to Lao Mi, there are quite a few fishmongers, such as Uncle Zhuang and Brother Yuliang, who have also been collecting fish at the dock these two days.

Li Duoyu simply greeted them and the relationship between the two sides was pretty good.

A few days ago, Li Duoyu also brought prawns to their family to sell. Their store made a lot of money just from prawns.

After daybreak, there were so many people at the dock that the road was difficult to walk on, and the most crowded area was where the tractor was making rice cakes.

A group of children were queuing there holding rice bags and clean fertilizer bags, ready to make rice rolls.

Li Duoyu suddenly remembered that Xiao Tutu also liked to eat this thing, and happened to see Li Haoran queuing in the crowd.

"Haoran, bring more rice back and make me one too."

Li Haoran patted the rice bag on his back and said, "Uncle, I already have your portion here. When the time comes, I'll deliver it to your house after it's done."

Li Duoyu touched his chin and found that this boy was good, and he was quite spiritual! (End of this chapter)
