1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Let's take a loan of 20,000

“Where is the second sister-in-law?”

“There have been more people going fishing recently. She has been busy mending the nets recently and may have to come back later.”

“Then do you want to have dinner with us first?”

Li Yaoguo glanced at his mother who was busy in the kitchen. He also wanted to eat with everyone.

But since the last time he had dinner and drinks with them, Zhu Xiuhua began to torture him in disguise. After a few nights, he was all serving her. She was not happy enough not to say anything, and she was exhausted to death.

“You guys eat, I'll make some noodles for your sister-in-law, otherwise I'll have to nag you again.”

"Oh well."

After Li Haoran smelled the aroma, he had already run into the kitchen and sat down: "Dad, you don't have to do it for me. I will eat with my grandpa and grandma."

After Li Duoyu returned to the kitchen, she found that the meal tonight was quite rich. Although Zhou Xiaoying's performance was very dull, the meal she prepared was obviously much better than before.

This woman is a duplicitous woman.

There is pan-fried Balang fish, which is his favorite dish. Among all the sea fish, this is the only dish that he never gets tired of eating.

Looking at the fried and fragrant Balang fish.

Li Duoyu felt very appetizing.

There are also fried dried sea oysters with green garlic.

Sea melon seeds collected by my mother from the tidal flats.

These two dishes are considered old actors in their family, and they are never absent all year round.

There was a large plate of vegetables. I didn't eat much vegetables on the ship these days. After seeing the green vegetables, Li Duoyu swallowed his saliva.

Finally, there's loofah and razor clam soup.

This soup is not only fresh and sweet, but also very refreshing.

After everyone sat down and looked at the dishes on the table, no one was in a hurry to move their chopsticks.

Chen Huiying asked: "Duoyu, didn't you ask your second brother to come with you?"

“He has to cook for his second sister-in-law.”

Chen Huiying sighed: "Forget it, let's eat first."

Under the 60-watt incandescent lamp, the family was having dinner. Although the room was small and simple, it was filled with a warm atmosphere.

After evening.

Li Duoyu, who had been wandering at sea for six days and six nights, went to bed early to sleep.

He found that he had not seen his wife for several days.

Her belly seems to be a little bigger.

And I look much better recently.

Looking less tired.

Li Duoyu asked casually: "Is there a new teacher in our school?"

Zhou Xiaoying nodded.

“Here we come, two female substitute teachers have been transferred from other places.”

“Then you don't have to work so hard. In two months, if your belly gets bigger, you might as well ask for maternity leave.”

Zhou Xiaoying frowned: "I guess not. These two substitute teachers are from the county and may not stay for long."

Li Duoyu didn't force her to do anything. Zhou Xiaoying was very serious and persistent about teaching, and she could be regarded as one of the best in the world.

I remember that when she left the mountain, many of the students she had taught came to see her off in person wearing white clothes.

After she has finished preparing the lesson.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoying's belly was getting bigger and bigger, Li Duoyu didn't dare to mess with her. The most he did was help her check her body to see where the flesh was growing again.

But I haven't started checking yet.

Zhou Xiaoying slapped his hand away and said seriously: "Wait, don't move."

“What's wrong?” Li Duoyu looked confused.

"He kicked me again." Zhou Xiaoying lifted up the quilt and lifted up her clothes: "Do you want to lean in and listen? He has been bad these past two days. He keeps kicking me."

Li Duoyu looked at his round belly, and when he got closer, he could hear the kid kicking him through his belly.

“With such strength, he might be a man.” Zhou Xiaoying said in surprise.

Li Duoyu sighed, he could 100% guarantee that it was a man.

In the previous life, this child had been living in hardships with his mother since he was a child. He had not had enough to eat and was not well clothed since he was a child. However, he worked hard and was admitted to a good university, had an iron rice bowl, and finally settled down in Rongcheng. But I'm just unlucky. I married a wife who likes to complain. She obviously doesn't have to worry about housing and food, but she has to compete with others all day long, which makes her a little tired.

Li Duoyu patted his belly and said to him: "Be obedient and I will feed you well and clothe you in the future. When you grow up, I will find you an obedient and beautiful wife."

“What did you say?”

Li Duoyu said with a serious face: "I am telling my son that when looking for a wife in the future, he must find someone as beautiful and virtuous as his mother."

Zhou Xiaoying's face turned slightly red: "Don't talk nonsense."

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Duoyu prepared the materials, the household registration book, the newspaper and the agreement.

So I took a passenger boat out of the island with my father and second brother, and then took a bus to Shangfeng Town.

In the passenger car.

The second brother looked at the road with a little traffic and couldn't help but ask the driver: "Master, what's going on in the town recently? There aren't as many cars as before. When I came to do errands, there were often traffic jams."

The master sighed with emotion and said: "In recent times, meetings have been held every day in the town, and the train station has been inspected every day. Those who come to buy goods are a little scared, and there are a lot less people. I am afraid that the good days will not last long."

Li Duoyu stared at the road for a while and found that there were obviously fewer Dongfeng trucks with company stamps on them. It seemed that they had received the news. The ones still running now were all self-employed and collectives.

After getting off the bus.

The group soon came to a place where many bicycles and even a Santana were parked at the door.

At the beginning of this year, Shang Feng had just "dismantled the commune and changed the town", and concentrated all units including the police station, family planning office, agricultural comprehensive office, and credit cooperative in the same place.

So it is very simple to do things.

Just go to the town government directly.

Under the leadership of Li Yaoguo, everyone came to a separate two-story building with a plaque of "Shangfeng Town Credit Union" hanging on it.

After entering the building, I found that the credit union only had one window and one female staff member, and it was separated by iron bars and glass, leaving only a small hole for submitting materials.

There are many people queuing up to apply for loans.

There was a middle-aged man who was applying for a loan, and he was very angry with the female staff member.

“Comrade, please tell me why I can't get a loan. The old man in our village has the same background as me. Why can he get a loan to buy a boat?”

The female staff member looked impatient:

“I have a letter of introduction from the fishing company and a pre-purchase agreement from the shipyard. Why do you want to apply for a loan when you are empty-handed?”

The middle-aged man blushed and said, "Why don't you just get a loan? Why do you need so many messy things? Isn't this making things difficult for us?"

"Without these things, how would I know whether you would actually buy a boat after getting the money or just take the goods?"

“Comrade, please don't label me randomly.”

"If you really don't have any materials, don't block others. There are so many people. Hurry up and be the next one."

While Li Duoyu was queuing up, he found that although there were many people taking out loans, the loan amount was very small. The loan amount filled in by the pig farmer in front was only 1,000.

Another person who contracts land to grow watermelons can only borrow 500 yuan. Once the loan amount exceeds 1,000 yuan, the credit union's requirements are very high and require various materials.

It took almost an hour to queue.

It was finally their turn. Li Yaoguo stepped forward and sat on a chair, shyly greeting the female staff member: "Gao Jing, long time no see."

The staff member named Gao Jing finally managed to squeeze out a smile on his numb face after seeing Li Yaoguo:

“Yao Guo, it's been a long time indeed. Didn't I tell you last time that people like you who work in the brigade cannot apply for interest-free loans.”

After hearing this, Li Duoyu and Lao Li looked at each other. It turned out that Li Yaoguo was not as honest as he seemed.

Li Yaoguo hurriedly said:

"You misunderstood. It's not me who wants to apply for the loan this time, but my brother."

Gao Jing glanced at Li Duoyu and said, "Then you first fill in the loan materials and loan amount, and hand in the materials."

While Li Yaoguo was filling out the form, he asked Li Duoyu: "Fourth brother, how much money do you plan to borrow?"

Like this kind of interest-free loan, Li Duoyu naturally hopes that the more the better, but considering the actual situation, he decided to borrow less.

“Just take a loan of 20,000.”

When Li Duoyu said this amount, the entire credit union was extremely quiet, and everyone looked at him in surprise.

The female staff member named Gao Jing was about to take a sip of chrysanthemum tea. When she heard the amount, she almost spit out the tea.

What's going on today? I encountered all kinds of weird things!

Thank you all for your support and continue to read.
