1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 628

Two ships docked one after another.

Many of the relatives on my second uncle's side came to Rongcheng for the first time, and it was inevitable that they would be very excited when traveling far away for the first time.

After getting off the boat, I saw so many people and so many new things. Everyone was as curious as a baby.

Looking at the Zhongting Street with a lot of people near the pier, they wanted to go there and take a look.

But the second uncle said with a dark face: "Don't run around. If you get lost later, I will just leave you here."

After the uncle and the others got off the boat, they learned that Li Duoyu actually knew Li Xiuqing, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.

"Everything is God's will."

Li Niantian couldn't help sighing. It was only because Li Duoyu mentioned it two years ago that he thought of coming to Rongcheng to recognize his relatives. Otherwise, he would have forgotten about it long ago.

Li Xiuqing looked at these "big brothers" who were so much older than herself and didn't know how to say hello for a while.

I had no choice but to shout to the oldest man with a dry cigarette in his mouth: "Second uncle, okay."

The old man smiled happily: "I heard them talking about you on the road. You are really handsome."

"good."

Li Xiuqing's face turned slightly red.

At this time, Li Niantian shouted to the next generation of them: "Why are you still standing there? Come here and say hello to your aunt and uncle."

Li Qingguang was the youngest, and he shouted on the spot: "Hello, aunt, uncle, my name is Qingguang, and I am the youngest here."

"Hello."

Li Xiuqing didn't think anything of it. Zhao Jialu looked at Li Duoyu with a smirk on his face: "Do you know how to be polite?"

Li Duoyu coughed twice and said with a smile: "You think elders are so easy to be, I can call you uncle."

Before Li Duoyu could finish speaking, Zhao Jialu had only heard about his uncle twice before he immediately said, "Okay, good nephew."

This move was something Li Duoyu didn't expect. This guy's brain is still pretty good.

But what Zhao Jialu didn't expect was that Li Duoyu turned around and took revenge on him, speaking to his second uncle's relatives.

"Your uncle is the person in charge of our county's aquatic seedling center. We get all the kelp seedlings in our village from him."

As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, the relatives on the second uncle's side, no matter how old they were, came over one by one and called them aunt and uncle, embarrassing them so much that they could squeeze out of the three bedrooms and one living room.

One of them was already in the Mediterranean, licking his face and calling them: "Hello, aunt, uncle."

It made their skin crawl. Zhao Jialu looked at Li Duoyu speechlessly, his expression seemed to say: "You are so cruel!"

Li Duoyu had a smirk on his face: "How can elders be so good? We haven't seen each other for so many years. Not only do we have to give benefits, but we also need to give red envelopes, at least ten yuan per person."

Zhao Jialu said speechlessly: "I am only at the department level, how much is my monthly salary?"

"You can borrow it from me. I won't charge you interest. Just remember to pay me back when the time comes."

"Is your uncle still a human being?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Uncle!"

"Stop screaming, I'm getting goosebumps."

Zhao Jialu looked at the group of people calling him uncle. Several of them were much older than him.

It can also be seen from their clothes that they are not living a good life.

As for Xiasha Village, he knew very well that these people were related to Li Duoyu, and none of them had become wealthy yet.

You know what kind of person they are with your buttocks. If you get entangled with them in the future, just thinking about it will give you a headache. When I used to work in the workplace, my colleagues in the workplace would often have such distant relatives come to visit me.

It doesn't matter if I receive them, or if I don't, it's very painful.

After everyone got to know each other at the pier, Zhao Jialu used some connections and called two buses over.

They were directly dragged to a military guest house not far from the Li family's ancestral temple, and everyone was accommodated in the guest house.

This guest house is quite good, and it is definitely not open to the public under normal circumstances, but in this era, relationships are much easier to use than regulations.

Seeing that they could stay in the army's guest house, the second uncle, eldest uncle, and third uncle immediately understood each other's capabilities.

Although Li Hanhai never introduced himself seriously from beginning to end, judging from today's situation, the relatives in Rongcheng are definitely quite capable.

Being able to call buses and allow them to stay in the military hostel, just thinking about it, you know that it is not something ordinary people can do.

After they all checked in, Zhao Jialu took them directly to the cafeteria of the guest house for a meal.

That's when you eat.

The relatives on the second uncle's side looked around and couldn't help but ask Zhao Jialu: "Uncle, don't our overseas relatives live here?"

Now that he hears the word "uncle", Zhao Jialu has a little stress reaction. It seems that being too senior is not a good thing.

Zhao Jialu replied: "We've arrived. They don't live here. They've been staying at the Foreign Trade Hotel for the past two days."

"The Foreign Trade Hotel, I heard people say, is the tallest building in our Rongcheng. Isn't it true that only overseas Chinese and foreign guests can stay there?"

"Yes, that's the rule."

Zhao Jialu looked at Li Duoyu: "But if you really want to live there, you can go to Duoyu. He knows the manager there and can give you a back door."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes at him and said to these relatives: "If any of you want to live here, you can come to me, but you have to pay for the room yourself."

"How much does it cost for a day with lots of fish?"

"It's not much, only a few dozen yuan a night, but there are service fees and tips. If you eat there, it will cost you almost 100 yuan for one person to stay there for a day."

Hearing this price, all those relatives were poured cold water on them. They were so exhausted that they could not make even one hundred a month.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Which of you wants to go? I can contact you."

This group of relatives all shook their heads. They knew very well that they wanted to take advantage of Li Duoyu unless the sun came out in the west.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while, then picked up baskets covered with red paper and headed to the Li family ancestral hall.

As for the Li Family Ancestral Hall, which Li Duoyu visited two years ago, it is the Li Family Courtyard. Now it no longer belongs to the Li Family, but is owned by the state.

"Have three people entered this courtyard?"

Zhao Jialu replied: "If this courtyard had not been demolished, there would have been at least four entrances."

After hearing this, several relatives took a sharp breath. Although they were all country bumpkins, they at least understood what the old house in Sijin represented.

If it weren't for a famous family, no one would dare to build a house with four entrances. It seems that five entrances are princes and generals. But this time it was a little different from the last time Li Duoyu came. The side door that was originally locked was opened.

There is actually a small courtyard inside, with the four characters "Li Family Ancestral Hall" written on the plaque above.

At this time, there were already many people in the ancestral hall, and they were arranging some sacrificial things.

The uncle signaled everyone to put down the ten loads of things, and the entire ancestral hall was packed with ten loads of baskets in an instant, leaving no room for anyone to stand.

As soon as the two parties met, they immediately greeted each other politely. The leader of the other party was an old man with gray hair on his temples, who looked very similar to Li Xiuqing.

When the old man saw them bringing so many things, he frowned slightly: "I told you last time, just come empty-handed, why do you still bring so many things?"

The uncle said: "It's just a small thing, just some local specialties from our island. The younger generation is also quite enthusiastic about recognizing ancestors and brought some dried shrimps and blue crabs over. If there is a banquet in the evening, they can be made just right. To eat.”

"Shrimps are so expensive now. It's nice if people come, no need to be so polite."

After the two parties finished their greetings.

The uncle urged these juniors: "You young people are really rude. This is your uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

Li Duoyu also guessed that the old man at the head should be Li Hanhai, Li Xiuqing's father.

Just when Li Duoyu was sizing him up, the old man walked towards him and said with a smile: "You just have Duoyu."

"Hello, uncle, yes, it's me."

The old man looked up and down: "Okay, you are indeed young and promising. I often see you in the newspaper."

Li Duoyu scratched his head: "It's just good luck. I only get published in newspapers occasionally."

The old man laughed and scolded: "You are so humble, you make me seem useless. You are always on the first two pages of the newspaper. I have never been treated like you when I worked."

Li Duoyu naturally knew the identity of this old man. Before his retirement, he was the top leader of the Transportation Bureau.

It's no wonder that Zhaojia Road was able to dispatch two buses so easily.

At this moment, the old man continued to ask: "I heard from Xiuqing that when Xiaolu went down to take charge of the nursery center this time, it was you who gave him the advice?"

After all, they are all on their own, and Li Duoyu did not hide it: "Yes, it was me who suggested it?"

The old man was a little curious and said: "I'm more curious, why do you suggest taking the path to the grassroots level?"

"There is too much competition in the city now, so it is better to develop down there. It is a little bit harder, but as long as the foundation is laid well, you will generally go farther."

Li Hanhai was startled when he heard this: "You are indeed quite smart. No wonder Secretary Huang always told me that it would be a pity for you to engage in breeding."

"No, I only have a little cleverness and only know how to do some breeding."

Li Duoyu had already guessed that the secretary Huang mentioned in his uncle's mouth was Huang Qingfeng, the secretary next to the big leader.

In fact, he didn't know anything about official culture at all. He almost only read novels about high-ranking officials like Zhao Jialu.

You must go to the grassroots level to get gold plating. As long as the gold plating is completed, the chance of promotion will definitely be much higher than others.

The old man glanced at Li Duoyu, and then at Zhao Jialu. The father-in-law became more and more unhappy with his son-in-law.

"This boy, when I was chasing our Xiuqing, I was not happy. Fortunately, after I went to the island country with you to investigate, I became a lot better when I came back. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to marry Xiuqing."

Zhao Jialu smiled awkwardly.

"In the future, learn from Duoyu. You know, he is a big foreign exchange earner now. You can't be content with the status quo. You must have a goal to strive for."

"knew."

Zhao Jialu realized at this moment that having such an outstanding relative as Li Duoyu was definitely not a good thing.

During the subsequent conversation, Li Duoyu discovered that there were really very few people in Li Xiuqing's lineage, only eight people in total.

A group of people were all in the hall, listening to Li Hanhai's story about the past. It turned out that the Li family had five branches.

Li Duoyu's group was the first to run away, but the four groups who stayed in Rongcheng did not live very well. When the Japanese came, many people died. Later, tuberculosis broke out, and they ran away. Damn it.

There are not many people left in the entire family.

Coupled with the sudden policy change, the total number of relatives who stayed in Rongcheng was only eight.

Eight years ago, there were originally nine people, but Li Xiuqing originally had a brother, but he responded to the call and participated in the counterattack in the 1970s.

But I never thought that once I left, I would never see him again. So far, I can't even find him buried anywhere.

When the old man said this, his eyes were a little red, and Li Xiuqing felt very uncomfortable.

In addition to the small number of people, the Li family ancestral hall has long since disappeared.

After hearing what his uncle said, Li Duoyu realized that his grandfather was really a bit of a thief, so he ran away when he knew something was wrong.

If he hadn't run so fast and hid on Dandan Island, he probably wouldn't be so prosperous now.

Maybe it's the same thing whether or not there is a person like Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu felt that Taigong was quite powerful, and he had to learn from it in the future, so he happened to find an island. Although the living conditions were a bit difficult, at least he wouldn't starve to death.

Those relatives who stayed in Rongcheng were different. They had experienced almost all kinds of disasters. According to my uncle, they were often given special care because they were from famous families.

Fortunately, the group that went overseas still kept their family tree, and they came back this time just to send the family tree back.

Otherwise, if the genealogy is broken, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to a family.

At this moment, a car horn sounded outside the door. After hearing the sound, all the elders in the clan came outside.

A black Crown car and a Coaster actually came.

Li Duoyu recognized these two cars. They were both special cars for foreign trade hotels and were usually used by foreign guests. The price of one use was not cheap.

After they came out, the group of people in the car got out of the car. The leader was also an old man who was wearing a suit, but he didn't have a lot of smiles on his face. On the contrary, he was a little serious.

The people following him were all wearing neat suits. Without even thinking, you could already guess that these people were their relatives abroad, that is, overseas Chinese.

Seeing that their expressions were not so good, Li Hanhai whispered in Li Duoyu's ear:

"Because of some of the things your great-grandfather did back then, their lineage has strong opinions on you. If they talk to you later, please be more patient."

"Okay, got it."

After Li Hanhai finished speaking, he went up to entertain these overseas Chinese relatives, and everyone from his second uncle's side also gathered around them, wishing they could show more faces and say a few more words in front of these people. (End of chapter)
