1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 446

 After all the classmates arrived, Li Duoyu discovered that many students came with their children.

 Some of the more efficient ones have children who are five or six years old, and some already have two children.

　　When everyone found out that Li Duoyu had arrived in the auditorium, the students present gathered around him.

“Director Li, you are finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you all day. You are the one who is discussed the most today.”

“You have made so much money from breeding, but you don't want to bring us to make a fortune with you. You have to teach us how to raise your kelp.”

There was a man named Zhang Zhenping who used to play very well with Li Duoyu. The two of them often jumped over the wall and skipped classes together.

“Duoyu, you are not honest. After all, we hung out together for four years in junior high school. Why didn't you ask me to marry Xiaoying when you got married?”

“That's right, it's really boring for you two to get married without saying a word.”

There was also a female classmate who said slightly angrily: "Last time I greeted you for a long time at the aquatic product processing factory, but it turned out that you didn't know me. Have you forgotten me?"

 “I'm sorry, I'm quite busy that day.”

The female classmate hummed: "Then do you still remember my name?"

"a ha ha ha."

 “You really forgot about me.”

Li Duoyu was really embarrassed and wanted to get in somewhere. The faces of these classmates all looked familiar.

 But if they don't introduce themselves, they really can't remember who they are?

 Among the dozens of people, I only remember a few classmates who often played with me, and I have almost forgotten the rest.

While everyone was greeting each other, Li Duoyu discovered that among his classmates, there were more fishermen.

Fishermen are very easy to recognize. If you are exposed to the wind and sun at the beach every day, your skin will definitely not get better.

 There are some people, even from two or three meters away, Li Duoyu can smell the strong smell of seafood on their bodies.

 When a female classmate approached, Li Duoyu immediately knew that her daily job was to crack oysters.

 There was a person who smelled not only of fish, but also of diesel. It didn't take much to guess that he was a crew member who often went to sea, and the cabin was very close to the diesel engine.

 Speaking of which, there are only more than thirty people in their class. After all, they are in the minority who have passed the technical secondary school and high school. There are really only a few people like Zhou Xiaoying, Yao Xue, Chen Ziyi, Zhang Jianhua, Li Hou, and Zhang Defa.

 After graduation, most people, like Li Duoyu, returned to the village to make a living.

 In this era, studying can really change your destiny. It is the easiest way for poor students and farmers to reach the upper class.

When introducing each other, what everyone did not expect was that the best performers in the class were not Chen Ziyi from the song and dance troupe and Zhang Jianhua, who was somewhat related, but Li Hou and Yao Xue.

These two people have little background, but they passed the provincial key technical secondary schools and were assigned to important positions as soon as they graduated.

Yao Xue studied at an economics school. After graduation, she was directly assigned to the Foreign Trade Bureau during the period of earning foreign exchange.

Although she is just a clerk, she has great power. Many bosses who want to engage in foreign trade have to ask her to do things. If she can stay a few more years, she may be promoted to a cadre.

Li Hou studied at a grain school. After graduation, he was directly assigned to a grain station. Now he is the deputy director of a grain station. It is hard to say whether he has any rights, but he does have a lot of money.

 Chen Ziyi was admitted to the song and dance troupe by herself, while Zhang Jianhua relied on relatives to join a large factory in the city.

As for Zhang Defa, who studied best in the class, he got his wish and became the only college student in the class.

 But when everyone learned that he was only a freshman, they all couldn't help but start teasing him.

“Defa, you will probably be 28 when you graduate. By then, my child will be in junior high school.”

 Zhang Defa was quite helpless: "I'm sorry, my clinical major lasted for five years. After graduation, I was already twenty-nine."

"Hahaha."

“It's a good thing you're not married yet, otherwise your wife would be furious. By the way, can you make money while you're studying?”

Zhang Defa twitched the corner of his mouth. Thank God that the director is willing to let you start. He is still thinking about how to make money.

After learning that he was a doctor, some classmates went directly to see the doctor on the spot: "Defa, I have bifurcated urine recently, and I have frequent and urgent urination. What's going on?"

 Zhang Defa said seriously:

"Are you married?"

 “Like you, not yet.”

Zhang Defa gritted his teeth, **** it, I can't bear it: "It's very simple to cure this disease. Just keep a good distance from your right hand, preferably no more than three times a month, and maybe it can be cured."

 A female classmate asked curiously:

“Defa, why does this disease need to be kept at a distance from his right hand?”

All the male students present laughed and said nothing, and Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh. Only the doctor said harshly: "You are talking nonsense, I am not."

Zhang Defa said disgustedly: "You yourself know whether it is true or not. Just quit now. It will save you time when you get married and become an instant man."

　　After Li Duoyu and Zhang Defa arrived, they instantly became the focus of the audience.

 In the past, Zhang Jianhua would definitely have felt proud, but after seeing Li Duoyu's "strength" in Rongcheng last time.

 When I got back, I opened the old newspapers from my work and read them. I didn't know what they were, but I was shocked when I read them.

This guy not only became the village director and started kelp farming, he was also sent abroad for inspections. Not long ago, he also completed a foreign trade business.

  None of these are important. What puzzles him the most is that in two years, he took photos with the big leaders three times.

It's no wonder that a second generation like Zhao Jialu would play with him. A "wine jar" like him naturally understands that Li Duoyu is a proper "famous person in farming".

The gap between the two parties is really obvious. I tried several times to establish a relationship and gave several gifts, but I still couldn't get Chen Ziyi to become a regular employee.

 But that night, it was just a meal, and Zhao Jialu just agreed casually.

 In the second month, Chen Ziyi stood out from the song and dance troupe and received the attention of the leadership. The difference in strength was the difference.

 Fortunately, Li Duoyu is already married to Zhou Xiaoying. Otherwise, according to his current conditions, if he really wanted to pursue Chen Ziyi, he would have no chance.

But now he also feels that he has little chance. There are too many outstanding people in big cities, and as Chen Ziyi receives the attention of leaders, he has come into contact with more young talents.

"well."

Zhang Jianhua couldn't help but sigh, forced out a smile, and said with a smile: "Duoyu, Ziyi and I have been waiting for you for a long time, and we were afraid that you wouldn't have time to come."

"How is it possible? It's a class reunion. No matter how busy I am, I have to find time to come over. Everyone, please tell me."

The classmate echoed: "That's right."

After meeting Li Duoyu, Chen Ziyi said enthusiastically: "Thank you very much for what happened last time. I am also the lead dancer in the group now. If you come to Rongcheng, I will treat you to a meal."

“No, it's just a small matter. It's normal for classmates to help each other, so don't take it too seriously.”

He does not mean that!

Li Duoyu's little statement instantly shocked both Chen Ziyi and Zhang Jianhua.

This light sentence implicitly shows that everyone is no longer on the same level.

If it were Zhang Jianhua who helped her in this matter, he might be shameless and wish she could give him his life.

 But Li Duoyu didn't even need to ask her to buy a meal. It seemed that for him, this was really a trivial matter that he didn't need to worry about.

And when Yao Xue saw Chen Ziyi and Li Duoyu chatting, she immediately acted as a matchmaker.

“Ziyi, I heard that you haven't found a partner yet, right? There are several singles in our bureau, would you like me to introduce them to you?”

 Chen Ziyi did not refuse, but said: "Okay, let's make an appointment to meet another day."

Zhang Jianhua was stunned. How could Chen Ziyi, who had almost never been on a blind date, suddenly start going on a blind date?

"Yao Xue, you are still single. Please resolve your own life-long affairs first, and then consider other people's affairs."

Yao Xue said with a look of disgust: "If you want to take care of it, you'd better stop pestering Zi Yi all day long, otherwise others will misunderstand her." Zhang Jianhua almost spit out his blood: "A good man doesn't fight with women."

When he heard that Yao Xue had no partner yet, Zhang Defa immediately became energetic and leaned towards her unconsciously.

 As a doctor, he naturally likes this kind of small branches that bear fruit, given his knowledge of human organs.

Either she had a filling, or it was a medical miracle. In view of his rigorous and serious attitude towards medicine, Zhang Defa planned to learn more about it.

 Zhang Defa's face was not red, and his heart was not beating. He said directly: "Yao Xue, your work seems to be very close to my school. If you have time, would you like to have a meal together?"

 As soon as Zhang Defa said these words.

All the students present were stunned for a moment. They had seen straightforward people, but never such straightforward ones. Li Duoyu didn't know what to say. Maybe the brain circuits of medical students are different.

What everyone didn't expect was that Yao Xue readily agreed: "Yes, but I don't have much salary as a second-level clerk. I really don't have the money to treat you, a college student, to dinner."

Seeing that Yao Xue was so easy to make an appointment, many male classmates present also started cheering: "Yao Xue, I'll pay for it, let's have dinner together."

Yao Xue looked disgusted and said: "There are so many people who want to treat me to dinner. Please wait in line slowly."

 “Then with virtue you can do it, but we can't.”

Yao Xue smiled and said, "He has no money now."

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoying whispered several words in his ear.

Li Duoyu opened his mouth wider and wider, and then coughed twice.

 “Ahem.”

“Defa, when are you going to take back the two hundred yuan you gave me last time?”

What left Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying speechless was that this old classmate opened his eyes wide and said, "Did you remember the wrong person? I spent all the money to pay tuition, so how can I still have any money for you?"

Li Duoyu really didn't see it. With his emotional intelligence, let alone Xiaorong, any woman would be very tired to get along with him.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that his head teacher, who hated him so much at the beginning, actually took the initiative to say hello to him.

 “There are many fish, I haven't seen them for many years.”

 Li Duoyu scratched his head and said, "Hello, Teacher Zhang."

"Don't want to hide when you see me. I won't arrest you now and won't let you write a letter of apology."

Li Duoyu smiled: "Back then, I was really naughty and caused you a lot of trouble. Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry."

Seeing Li Duoyu take the initiative to apologize, Zhang Xiuyun really didn't react and said, "Actually, I have a problem too. You are quite smart and not very bad. If I had guided you well back then, maybe you would have been a top student too. "

 The classmate on the side laughed and said: "Fortunately, Teacher Zhang didn't guide me, otherwise, there would be no Director Li now."

 “Hahaha, that makes sense.”

The head teacher wanted to continue talking about something, but when he thought that the student he was least optimistic about at the beginning has now become the best among all his students, he felt very depressed.

　　Even started to reflect on myself, whether there was something wrong with my education.

 After everyone arrived, under the leadership of the head teacher, everyone revisited the original classroom and recalled the past.

Immediately afterwards, a classmate took out the black and white graduation photo from that year. Everyone stood in the original position and took another group photo.

 After taking the group photo.

 We all went to the Rongcheng Restaurant in the town, and reached the stage that everyone loved to see.

 That's right, eating and drinking.

 As one of the core figures of this class reunion, Li Duoyu was really scared.

Even before the meal started, these classmates came over one by one with wine glasses.

 After one drink, there are still three glasses left.

After three glasses of wine, there was still more to come, and the one who toasted the most was undoubtedly Zhang Jianhua, and he also opened the eyes of everyone present.

There are not many skills, but drinking is really amazing. Those who directly surrender Li Duoyu can only be sent to himself.

“Duoyu, why are you bringing in reinforcements? This won't work.”

 Finally, he found a place where he could win against Li Duoyu. Zhang Jianhua directly took advantage of the victory and pursued him: "It's useless to call for reinforcements. After I knock him down, I'll come back and continue drinking with you."

 Zhang Defa, who had had a little drink, slapped his thigh and cursed: "Fuck, who are you looking down on? I am also a doctor after all, someone who is exposed to alcohol every day."

As a result, Zhang Defa fell asleep directly without drinking much, which made Yao Xue who was sitting next to him very disgusted.

 “You have no ability, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?”

Seeing Zhang Jianhua filling up the glass of wine again, Zhou Xiaoying frowned: "That's about it. Drinking any more will not be good for your health."

Zhang Jianhua burped: "Xiaoying, we only drink wine once every ten years. Besides, Duoyu used to bully me a lot, but now he asks me to give him two sips of wine."

"Okay, I'll drink with you for two more rounds." Li Duoyu finally figured out that Zhang Jianhua's job was to help the leader drink.

 Since this era, many units and companies have had a special profession, which is dedicated to helping leaders keep away alcohol.

If the other party drinks one drink, he will drink three drinks. Faced with such a wine jar, Li Duoyu can't drink him even if he drinks to death.

　　What everyone didn't expect was that the person who finally helped him out was Yao Xue, and what everyone didn't expect was that her drinking capacity was no worse than Zhang Jianhua's.

From six o'clock in the evening, we drank until almost ten o'clock. Many people's faces were red, and even Zhou Xiaoying was poured a lot of wine.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that there was no contact at the class reunion, and a group of people moved directly to the ballroom on the first floor.

This time no one drank anymore, and many people started dancing.

 The feeling is best when you are tipsy. Li Duoyu wanted to invite Zhou Xiaoying to dance together, but she refused because she had never been to such a place.

Li Duoyu thinks this is a normal class reunion. In the novels of the previous life, although there are those who show off and scheming at every turn, they are still a minority.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that there would be a repertoire at this class reunion, and it was aimed at him.

As one of the organizers of the event, Chen Ziyi took several pieces of paper, came to Li Duoyu, and took the microphone and said:

“Now, I would like to invite our Director Li to come to the center of the stage.”

Li Duoyu just glanced at the manuscript and felt something was wrong. "Ziyi, do you really want to read this? It's very embarrassing."

Unexpectedly, the whole class said in unison: "Read it, you must read it."

Li Duoyu looked at Zhou Xiaoying for help, but unexpectedly his wife also said: "I also think you should read it, after all, you were such a **** before."

Li Duoyu stood in the middle of the ballroom with a grimace on his face. After looking at the first piece of paper, he said:

“I, Li Duoyu, am here to apologize to Chen Xiaoliang. At that time, I shouldn't have bullied you so often and called you a slug.”

“Today is the tenth anniversary of our reunion. I sincerely apologize to Zhang Jianhua. I shouldn't have beaten you and thrown your books into the trash can.”

Li Duoyu thought that everyone was asking him to apologize, but he didn't expect that some of them were thanking him.

He turned over a piece of paper with beautiful handwriting and said a little embarrassedly: "No, I can't read this one. After reading it, I will probably kneel on the washboard at night."

 “No, you must read it.”

 “Then I'll read it.”

"Classmate Duoyu, thank you very much. Although you look bad, you are really a nice person. Thank you very much for offending so many street kids for me. To be honest, I was really worried when I was in junior high school. I like you very much, but now, I wish you and Xiaoying a happy life."

 “Holy shit, who is this?”

 However, after Li Duoyu finished reading, he did not feel very embarrassed. On the contrary, he felt very relaxed. The events of that year seemed to have passed like this. (End of chapter)
