1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Helping people with names (please follow up)

After broadcasting to the whole village.

Less than an hour.

Some villagers came to the village carrying bamboos, and the first one to come back was an old woman in her sixties or seventies.

She carried two large bamboos on her shoulders, walked quickly to Li Duoyu with a small step, and asked: "Are bamboos being purchased here?"

Li Duoyu smiled and replied:

“That's right, it's here.”

Seeing his grandma carrying such a heavy bamboo, Chen Wenchao quickly stepped forward to help, but as soon as he picked up the two bamboos, they were so heavy that he almost fell down.

He found that the two bamboos together weighed a hundred catties.

Chen Wenchao looked at Grandma in disbelief and asked: "Grandma, did you really carry these two bamboos down from the mountain?"

When grandma saw someone questioning her, she said angrily: "It wasn't me who carried it, it was you who carried it. Who would be so kind as to help me carry it?"

“When I was your age, I would carry three bamboos of this size to the town to sell them by myself.”

Chen Wenchao gave grandma a thumbs up.

"sharp."

Li Duoyu also admired this grandma. In fact, in this era, both the mountain people and the seaside fishermen are the same, and they are all suffering.

People on the seaside risk their lives fishing, while people in the mountains rely on cheap labor in exchange for living expenses.

Li Duoyu took out a meter stick that he had prepared long ago, measured the head of the bamboo, and took out six cents on the spot.

“Grandma, keep the six cents.”

As soon as grandma left, the army came carrying bamboo to sell.

It only took Li Duoyu two hours to collect enough bamboo for a cart, about 180 pieces.

When the collection is finished.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He found that the sun in the mountains was shorter than that at the seaside. At this point, it had already started to get dark.

It is already dark.

At this time, the driver who helped them at the beginning also came over.

“Have the bamboos been put away?”

“It's all done. These are just enough to fill a cart.”

The driver said: "It won't be easy for us to walk here at night. I will drag you and Zhu Zhu down tomorrow."

Li Duoyu also expected that he might stay overnight, so he asked him: "Does our village have a place for outsiders to stay overnight?"

The driver thought for a while:

“There is an abandoned guest house in the brigade.”

“But I really don't recommend you to live in that place. It's full of rats and cockroaches, and the quilt hasn't been changed in half a year.”

“If you two bosses don't mind, you can come and stay at my house tonight. I just built a new house, and the old house next to it is still vacant, so you can live in it.”

The overly enthusiastic driver in front of him made Li Duoyu a little uncomfortable, although he also believed that there were more good people than bad people in the world.

Can go out.

He still remained vigilant.

Although no one has your waist these days.

No one is trying to trick you into going abroad.

However, there are many people who seek money and kill people. After all, many horrifying crimes happened in this era, so it is always right to be more cautious.

But when Li Duoyu took a look at the abandoned guest house of the brigade, his easy-going side defeated the cautious side.

I decided to follow the driver on the spot.

If you live in that place, you will most likely be bitten by fleas, and there may even be pubic lice.

When I think of this thing.

Li Duoyu's scalp feels numb.

There was an infestation of pubic lice in their village before. After that, Li Duoyu would rather lie on the floor than sleep on an unclean bed.

Under the warm greeting of the driver.

Li Duoyu came to their home.

I didn't expect the new house of the driver's house to be built very nicely. It is a two-story rammed earth house with all the exterior walls painted white.

The facilities at home are also good. Although there are no luxuries such as TVs and refrigerators, there are still three-way machines and electric fans.

Next door to the new house, there is a one-story hut.

ˆ It should be the place where they lived before.

The driver has two children, one of whom is as old as Li Haoran, and the other is still in his infancy, crying for food, and is held by his wife.

The driver carefully took the child and said to his wife: "We have guests at home today. Let's cook some side dishes from our mountains." The driver, who was holding the child, suddenly became shy and said, "Actually, I have something I have something I want to ask you for, but I have been embarrassed to say it out loud.”

Away from home.

Li Duoyu is not afraid of anything but "love" for no reason.

When he said this, Li Duoyu felt relieved.

“It's okay, just say it, you helped us a lot today, if I can do it, I will definitely do my best.”

The driver scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that my child's fortune teller said that she lacks water in her five elements, so she must find a sea seeker to name her."

Li Duoyu heard this statement for the first time, but he also had a headache when he thought of helping people to name:

“Brother, this is really difficult for me. I am really uneducated and I don't know how to name.”

"It's okay, we people in the mountains are very casual, just pick any one."

After saying that, the driver took out the red paper and pen and placed them in front of Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu smiled bitterly. It seemed that the driver was well prepared.

Since you agreed, let's just pick one.

Besides, the other party may not necessarily use the name he chose.

“Boy or girl.”

"girl."

“What a girl's name.” Li Duoyu thought for a long time, and his mind was filled with names like Xiuhua, Cuihua, Yanhua, Baozhu, and Yuzhu.

But now we are very particular about naming our children. The name of the second brother's little fat boy, Li Haoran, is taken from the idiom of “Haoran Zhengqi”.

Brother-in-law Chen Dongqing was choosing a name for her daughter while holding a Book of Songs.

But I was an uneducated person in my previous life.

Having stayed in the island country for so many years, it is probably easier for him to give a girl an island country name than a Chinese name.

Li Duoyu, who was holding the pen and couldn't get it out after holding it for a long time, suddenly remembered the name of a fishery company in their town in his previous life.

Since there is a shortage of water, give enough at one time.

Li Duoyu wrote six characters for water on the red paper.

After seeing these words, the driver and Chen Wenchao were stunned.

Chen Wenchao tilted his head and looked at it: "Brother Yu, if you take this character apart, I can pronounce it, but if you put them together, what do you call it?"

Li Duoyu said seriously: "The word is pronounced miao, and Miaomiao means big water."

The driver's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized: "This name is amazing. It's really different if you have education."

The driver held his daughter in his arms and said with a smile on his face: "Daughter, you will be called Ou Miaomiao from now on. Are you happy?"

Following that, he shouted to his wife in the kitchen:

“Xiuzhu, our guest helped us choose a good name for our daughter. Let's kill that grass chicken and make a soup with bamboo fungus.”

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly. This driver brother didn't really want to give her daughter this name.

If this is really the case.

I hope that when this girl grows up, she won't blame the person who named her because others can't pronounce her name.

The dinner was quite sumptuous.

There are bacon, fried green garlic, and a lot of mushrooms, one fried bracken, and one bamboo fungus chicken soup.

He also brought out a local yellow wine called green and red wine to entertain them.

The color of this wine is very beautiful, just like amber, and the taste is very smooth.

Li Duoyu also drank a big bowl without realizing it.

“How about it? Our local green and red wine tastes good. If you like it, I'll give you a bottle.”

“If you continue to be so polite, we'll leave now.”

“Don't, don't, don't.”

When sleeping at night.

Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao live in the small house next door. Although the house is old, the bedding is all clean.

Chen Wenchao, who was sleeping in the next bed, suddenly said: "Brother Yu, this family feels really warm. I also want to find a wife as soon as possible."

“Then work hard.” Li Duoyu said.

"I used to hang out with Agui. Although I had some money in my hand, I always felt empty. But after hanging out with you these days, I suddenly felt the weight of life and understood the meaning of life."

Li Duoyu gave him a disgusted look. He must have read Aunt Qiong's romance novels from Overseas Province recently. How can he be disgusting when he talks about it?

“Go to bed quickly, we have to move bamboo tomorrow.”
