In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 80
After Zhou Xiaoying wrote Spring Festival couplets for others.

I went back to my room to rest.

And Li Duoyu made a red envelope with the remaining red paper, and stuffed all the fish money he earned today into the red envelope:

"It's Chinese New Year, I'll give you a big red envelope."

After Zhou Xiaoying took the red envelope, she didn't open it in a hurry, but put it beside the bed.

Li Duoyu was anxious: "Don't you see how much money you have?"

Zhou Xiaoying, who was a little tired, opened the red envelope and looked at the more than 20 cards of "Unity" inside, with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Duoyu, where did you get so much money?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Hey, I made two hundred and five from selling fish today, and Uncle Zhuang still owes me sixty, so the total is three hundred and one."

"So much." Zhou Xiaoying smiled wryly: "The money you earn this day is almost worth half a year's salary of mine."

"You can't say that. We fishermen only make this once a year. If the weather is bad, we don't make as much money as you."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed, knowing that Li Duoyu's words were just to comfort her, but thinking about it, it seemed that half a year ago, when he was selling goods, he even laughed at her salary.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu with both eyes, leaned up to him, and stuffed the red envelope back.

"You should keep the money first. During the Chinese New Year, you also have to spend money on entertainment."

"There's nothing to pay for."

Li Duoyu continued: "How about this, you will be in charge of our family's money in the future, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu in disbelief, then shook her head: "Forget it, I just need the basic living expenses."

Li Duoyu looked at the silly woman in his arms, hugged her directly and kissed her face.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to wash your face."

"What's wrong."

In fact, during this period of time, Li Duoyu secretly stuffed the money earned from fishing into Zhou Xiaoying's small iron box vault one after another.

Adding it up now, it is estimated that there are 800 yuan, and he only keeps 50 yuan for turnover.

Of course, he still had 5000 yuan in his passbook, but they didn't tell his family about the loan.

As night falls.

The family got together and had a New Year's Eve dinner.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, besides a big steamed red fish, there are many swimming crabs and various shellfish.

The customs of their family are somewhat different from Dandan Island, but they completely retain the customs of Rongcheng.

The first chopsticks must hold rice cakes.

It means getting taller every year.

The second chopsticks is to drink tofu and sea oyster soup.

It means good luck and well-being.

The third chopsticks are to hold fish.

It means more than every year.

In addition to these, the fish balls that represent reunion and the Taipingyan that represent peace are also essential.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the elders of the family have to give red envelopes and oranges to the youngest child for good luck in the coming year.

At this New Year's Eve dinner, the youngest Li Haoran and Li Xiaorong both received red envelopes and oranges.

And Li Duoyu, who has already married, couldn't help but said: "Mother, Xiao Rong has a red envelope, why don't I have one?"

Chen Huiying gave him a blank look: "You've already got a family, what more red envelopes do you need?"

"But in my mother's eyes, I'm always a child."

Li Haoran pursed his mouth: "Uncle, you are so shameless, it's fine if you don't give me a red envelope, but you still have to grab it from us juniors."

But as soon as Li Haoran finished speaking, he immediately regretted seeing the red envelope dangling in his uncle's hand.

"Uncle, my dear uncle."

"I know I was wrong."

Li Haoran's sudden face change made everyone burst into laughter.

After everyone finished the New Year's Eve dinner.

Dad went outside and set off the firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new. At this point, the "year" is over.

But A Niang kept looking outside the door, hoping for a miracle to happen, but she still didn't see that person.

Seeing that A Niang was full of worries, Li Duoyu came over and comforted him: "Don't worry, the elder brother will come back soon after he has figured it out."

Chen Huiying sighed, and scolded: "The temper is as bad as your father's. It's really not as big as your father's stomach. It's really bad enough. If you have a quarrel, you dare not come back for three years."

Li Duoyu also smiled wryly. Eldest brother Li Jianguo really has the same temperament as his father. If I remember correctly, two years later, the machinery factory where elder brother works will usher in a restructuring.

As the main technical employee, he will be promoted and reused. Also in that year, he fell in love with a good-looking widow in the factory.

On New Year's Eve that year, he went back to Dandan Island.

After eating a large table of food, Li Duoyu came out to stretch his body. He found that the New Year's Eve dinner at Lao Hu's next door seemed to have just begun, but fortunately all the children who went out to sell goods came back, and there were more people than their family.

But at this time, Li Xiaorong dragged Li Haoran to rush to the lobby brother's house together, and shouted to everyone:

"Brother, hurry up and get a good seat with my cousin. I heard people say that this year the TV station will broadcast the Spring Festival Gala live."

After being reminded by Xiaorong, Li Duoyu remembered that in 83, it seemed that it was really the first Spring Festival Gala.

Many people of their generation regret that they did not see the 83 Spring Festival Gala. It is said that it was a real gala in the true sense. It was very casual and wonderful.

Seeing that his wife Zhou Xiaoying was going to go back to her room to rest, Li Duoyu quickly pulled her along.

"Come on, let's go to the Spring Festival Gala too."

"No, I want to rest."

Li Duoyu whispered in her ear, "When your child is born, I can accompany you as soon as you want to rest."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying's ears turned red instantly, and she looked at Li Duoyu angrily and helplessly: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Li Duoyu casually brought a tall wooden chair. In this day and age, if you go to someone else's house to watch TV, you have to bring your own chair.

And this wooden chair with a backrest is more suitable for pregnant women to sit for a long time.

After arriving at the big brother's house.

Li Duoyu found that the hall was full of relatives and various neighbors, even the third uncle's family came, there were more than 20 people, and the hall was crowded.

Everyone sat on small benches, surrounded by the 17-inch black and white TV, and the lobby brother generously prepared melon seeds and peanuts for those who watched the TV.

Seeing that Li Duoyu brought Zhou Xiaoying here, Li Shuguang picked up the brat who was occupying the throne in his family on the spot: "Your aunts are here, so you have no eyesight."

Then, he said to Li Duoyu:
"Come here and sit for Xiaoying."

Li Duoyu said in his mouth, how embarrassing this is, and put the back chair that came with him in the best position in the next second.

And the chubby Li Haoran took advantage of the opportunity to sit in front of the armchair, which was considered to have grabbed the best seat.

The third uncle, Li Zhengfa, looked at the black and white TV in front of him, and said with great emotion, "If the house has not been ransacked, everyone can go to my house to watch color TV."

"Then wait until you make a lot of money next year, and then buy it. Then, we will go to your house to look at it."

"Yes, next year, I'll buy the refrigerator too. By then, summer will come, and I'll make popsicles for everyone."

And around eight o'clock, everyone quieted down, and at this moment the four characters "Congratulations on the New Year" appeared on the screen.

After a few seconds.

This is Lao Zhao, who is also in charge of the news broadcast, came out and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, on this happy New Year's Eve, the Central People's Broadcasting Station"

　It's really important to ask for follow-up reading on Tuesday. It's about follow-up recommendations. Thank you everyone.
