1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 313

Chapter 313 is the case closed?

The day of Lantern Festival.

There are many people selling lanterns on the island. Among them, "deng" and "ding" are homophonic, which means adding children.

“Send lamps” means “send Ding”.

In this era, the top priority for a girl after getting married is to have children. If she does not give birth to children after marriage, it will be a very disgraceful thing for the bride and her family, and people will gossip about her.

So on this day, the in-laws usually buy lamps and deliver them to the bride's house.

In addition to the in-laws who buy lamps, children will also clamor for family members to buy lamps for them.

Seeing that other families have children, many parents who usually spend a lot of money will spend a lot of money on the Lantern Festival, buying lanterns for their children, mainly for the sake of celebration and good luck.

“Mom, can you buy me a carp lantern?”

Zhu Xiuhua did not immediately agree to Li Haoran, but asked the lamp seller: "How much does this lamp cost?"

“This carp lantern costs fifty cents.”

Zhu Xiuhua glared and said, "It's so expensive, you might as well grab it."

The lamp seller sighed: "Hey, eldest sister, fifty cents is really not expensive. Look at the materials used in my lamp.

The cost of these colored papers alone is not cheap. It is almost dark now. We have to rush back, so we sell them so cheaply. When we first arrived on the island, we sold them for 70 cents. "

“San Mao.”

"Three cents is really not enough. If you want to pay back, the minimum is 40 cents."

Zhu Xiuhua insisted: "It's only three cents. The Lantern Festival is almost over. No one will want your lantern tomorrow. It's only ten cents away. You might as well sell it to me cheaply."

The lamp seller sighed: "Forget it, I'll give you three cents, but don't tell anyone else."

"okay."

While paying, Zhu Xiuhua took out three golden dimes.

The lamp seller took the three gold dime coins and did not put them directly into his satchel. Instead, he looked at the year first.

1983.

Then, the coin was turned over, and on the back was the big national emblem.

The lantern seller put three coins into a small compartment in his shoulder bag and said to Li Haoran who was holding a carp lantern with a smile on his face:

“Children, it's getting dark. Do you want me to light the lamp for you?”

"Yeah."

The lamp seller struck a match, inserted it from the belly of the carp lantern, and lit the small candle inside.

Under the light, the carp lanterns are all colorful patterns, which are very beautiful.

Li Haoran excitedly held up the lamp: "Mom, I went to play with my friends."

“Don't play too late, you know? Come back early, school will start tomorrow. Have you finished your winter vacation homework?”

Li Haoran suddenly felt a little depressed, and for a moment, he felt that his happiness had disappeared.

Li Duoyu, who was watching the lanterns nearby, was a little surprised when he saw the three dime coins.

No wonder the lamp dealer is so happy. This set of golden Great Wall coins is not widely circulated. Like the monkey tickets, it has a certain collection value.

But it is impossible for Zhu Xiuhua, who rarely leaves the island, to understand these things.

And this is the information gap.

These days, there are many people who specialize in making money from this kind of information gap.

“Mom~Lamp~”

The little Tutu in Zhou Xiaoying's arms kept wanting to reach out and grab it after seeing the lantern.

Li Xiaorong said happily: "Tutu, which one do you like? Tell your aunt and she will buy you one."

Zhou Xiaoying said with a smile: "No, I will just buy it for him. The boss will buy the smallest and lightest one that a child can carry."

“Then the lotus lantern, two cents.”

Li Duoyu looked disgusted: "Don't buy it for him. This kid must have no good intentions. He threw it on the ground and asked me to pick it up. On his first birthday, I didn't know how many times I picked it up for him. My waist almost bent." broken."

The two women couldn't help but smile. Now in Xiasha Village, it is estimated that only Xiao Tutu can cure him.

After Xiao Tutu got the lotus lantern, Li Duoyu did not ask the lamp seller to help light it, just as he expected.

Not long after the boy got the lamp, he gave his father a sneaky look.

The next second.

He threw the lotus lantern on the ground again.

"Your uncle, after the fifteenth year, let's see how I deal with you."

But every time Li Duoyu shouted to take care of him, he didn't take care of him every time. Li Xiaorong couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect it, my brother quite loves the child."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed: "Well, since he loves the child so much, I will definitely be the one who makes a bad comment in the family from now on."

Zhou Xiaoying glanced at the pier. Many unmarried girls were holding lanterns in their hands, and said:

“Xiao Rong, the lantern is very beautiful. Do you want your brother to give you a lantern?”

"I don't even have a partner, so what's the point of giving me lanterns? If you want to give them, just give them water flowers. It's best to buy her a Guanyin lantern."

　　"How can there be no one with your conditions? Don't keep picking and choosing, that's pretty much it."

Li Xiaorong frowned and thought for a while: "I think so too. The main reason is that I can't find a good **** like my brother."

Li Duoyu, who had just picked up the lotus lantern, rolled his eyes at her: "I am such a good person, how can I be such an asshole?"

Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "Xiao Rong is not wrong. You were really a **** in the past. For several years, you went to Rong City to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival without taking me with you."

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.

　　"This matter is over. Don't talk about the past anymore. People should look forward. Next year, I will take you and Xiao Tutu."

“Okay, that's what you said.”

Li Xiaorong puffed out his mouth:

“Brother, why don't you take me with you? I also want to go to Rongcheng to see the lanterns.”

Li Duoyu said with a look of disgust:

“We are a family of three, why are you bringing a light bulb? Hurry up and find someone to watch the lanterns with.”

“Brother, why have you changed?”

“You didn't treat me like this before.”

"It has changed a long time ago. You didn't realize it just now, right? After we get married, I will definitely kiss your sister-in-law. How can I stay clingy with you?"

"cut."

Zhou Xiaoying on the side smiled happily for no apparent reason. Seeing his mother smiling, little Tutu also laughed together.

After the Lantern Festival.

Li Xiaorong had to rush back to the hospital to go to work. Early in the morning, she wanted to sneak away and go to the train station alone.

As a result, her father and mother-in-law caught her red-handed and lectured her on the spot for half an hour.

In the end, it's the same as before. Li Duoyu personally escorted her to the train station. As the sounds of "Kang Chi" and "Kang Chi" sounded, Li Xiaorong, who was sitting at the window, waved her hand and said with a smile on her face:

“Brother, I'm leaving.”

“Don't think about me too much.”

“Stop being so pretty, no one will miss you.”

Li Duoyu also smiled and waved to her.

The next time we meet, maybe it will be another year later. To be honest, I am really reluctant to leave.

After the fifteenth day.

Even if the Spring Festival is officially over, middle schools and primary schools are starting to reopen one after another. Even the lazy fishermen will no longer have an excuse to stay at home after the National Day.

After sending Li Xiaorong away.

Li Duoyu just returned to the island when he heard the explosive news.

The case of the boat bombing and murder in Shangqi Village has actually been closed.

Many people were talking at the pier.

“I think they must be cheating, otherwise there would be no need to kill them.”

“It seems that Liu Mazi and Chen Liang were the ones who carried the goods for this group of people. Fortunately, Mazu blessed them and allowed them to hit the rocks, otherwise none of them would have come back.”

“This is all fate.”

After Li Duoyu parked the sampan, he asked old man Mi: "Did you really catch the murderer?"

　　　"If caught, it will be published in the newspaper."

Li Duoyu really couldn't believe it.

In this era without cameras, it is very difficult to solve crimes at sea.

　　In the previous life, it took several years to catch the pirate. How could the case be solved in less than a month in this life?

This efficiency is too high.

Maybe there are people in the organization who have been reborn like him.

“Lao Mi, let me read the newspaper.”

Li Duoyu took the newspaper and read it. There was a striking headline on the second page.

　　【The incident of bombing a ship and sinking corpses was solved, and seven members of the criminal gang were arrested】

(Last year, during the New Year's Eve period, a huge fishing boat murder case occurred in our city.)

Li Duoyu briefly glanced at the contents of the newspaper. In this incident, the murderer was actually the leader of the smuggling gang.

The reason why the group of smuggling criminals arrested in Nanri Town killed the fishermen in Shangqi Village is very simple. They saw the smuggling criminals and were afraid that they would report them, so they blew up the boat and sank their bodies.

At first glance, this reason for killing seemed to be quite sound, but to Li Duoyu, who had experienced smuggling, something felt wrong.

The goods shipped now are different from before. They are all small items, such as cigarettes, watches, etc. Most of the goods are hidden in the cabin of the ship.

Every larger cargo ship will be disguised as a fishing boat, with not only fishing nets on board, but also fish.

The time to take out the goods is usually late at night. Unless you know from the beginning that he is here to take out the goods, you have no idea what the fishing boat is for.

Those people only care about money.

But he is also very afraid of trouble. He will not say anything or do anything that can be solved with money. He does not look like someone who would do such a thing.

Li Duoyu felt that this matter was not as simple as imagined. He looked at the newspaper and found that the final credit fell to the "task force."

The names of Secretary Chen, Mayor Gao and Director Li, who had been busy for more than half a month, did not appear in the newspaper.

Li Duoyu felt that this matter was a bit strange, and he guessed that the real culprit hadn't been caught yet, and he might be in trouble in the future.

When I think about this.

Li Duoyu is really a little annoyed. It seems that he should remind the villagers more not to relax, let alone be a bad person at sea.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that the reason why the case was closed so quickly had something to do with him.

At the Shangfeng Town Committee.

Director Li Mingli was so angry that he didn't even want to smoke. He clapped the newspaper in his hand and said angrily: "The evidence is not enough, how come the case is closed like this and the news is released?"

Mayor Gao took a sip of water and sighed:

“The inspection team is probably coming soon. There is too much pressure from the top, but these people have been recruited. The results are good, but there are some flaws and lack of consideration in the process.”

Director Li could not help but swear:

“What the heck, you didn't see how they tried it. The way they did it, even a pig would have to be forced to sign.”

Gao Tianyun frowned and said:

"I said, Lao Li, why are you such a jerk? You can't understand me, right? Those people have smuggled a lot of cultural relics. Even without this incident, they wouldn't be able to survive, and there's nothing you can do about it." Prove that they didn't do this.”

“If you don't suspect a crime and you don't know anything, if you want to do what they did, what's the difference between it and ten years ago?”

“If I don't tell you, I won't be able to tell you.”

“This is a matter of principle, not a question of whether it can be said or not. If the real culprit is not caught, it will definitely be a time bomb for the fishermen along our coast.”

“There are so many shipwrecks every year. If such people are not caught, who will know whether they have been harmed?”

Mayor Gao couldn't help but scolded: "It's all my fault that this **** inspection team didn't come early or late, but it came at this time and drove the task force into a panic."

Chen Shulin, who had been silent all this time, said seriously: "Director Li, if you feel that the wrong person has been arrested, continue to follow this matter and don't let up."

"Even if you don't tell me, I will continue to follow up. If I don't arrest these bastards, I feel like I won't be able to sleep well."

Chen Shulin rubbed his temples and took a sip of the strong tea on the table.

I haven't slept well for half a month, and I feel that my daily routine is a little disordered.

Since I became the town secretary, things have happened one after another, and I feel like I have never had a good day.

His wife has also been quarreling with him recently. She did not go back during the entire Spring Festival, and she did not send her children to study abroad.

What troubles him the most is that the case of bombing a ship and sinking corpses has just "ended", and a new thing has come up, and the higher priority is given to this matter far more than the case of bombing a ship and sinking corpses.

Looking at the red-headed documents on the table that I just received these two days.

Chen Shulin went on to say:

"Lao Gao, the village doctor in Xiasha Village has left, and the inspection team is coming soon. You first transfer a doctor from the town health center to Xiasha Village and let him stay in the village for a while."

“Also, the people from the reception team in Rongcheng will come to our town committee the day after tomorrow. At that time, you and I will accompany the reception team to Dandan Island to check the health situation first.”

“According to the itinerary, it seems that the inspection team will have lunch on the island, and they should decide on the dishes early and report them.”

“Also, I heard that the top leaders will also come to the island with the inspection team. We must ensure that the entire inspection process is foolproof.”

Li Mingli looked unhappy and said:

“It's just a bunch of devils, why are we doing this in such a grand way? Everyone will forget how they bullied us back then.”

Chen Shulin glanced at Director Li, frowned and said:

"It's fine to complain privately. When people come, don't talk anymore. What you are asked from above is that nothing is allowed to happen during this period."

“You also need to change your temper. For us now, the most important thing is not our appearance or our face, but our money.”
