1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 648

This year, my uncle didn't have time to prepare New Year's Eve dinner, which made Li Haoran a little disappointed.

 After all, my brother-in-law's cooking skills are really much better than those of grandma, aunt, and his mother.

As for the food cooked by Aunt Shuihua, it was barely edible, otherwise Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun would not have been so thin by her.

Li Haoran sat on the stone bar with rice crackers stuck in all five fingers and started eating there.

The rice krispies that have just been squeezed out are still a little warm, especially crispy and delicious.

 It's just that there was less sugar in the rice krispies, so the taste was a bit worse, not as good as last year's.

Li Haoran's main task today is to take care of the little guy Tutu.

I thought I could trick him with the rice fragrance, but this guy didn't finish even one morsel and was already tired of it.

It's exactly what my grandma said, the little Tutu is the same as my uncle's when he was a child, so it's very difficult to take care of him.

As soon as the boy arrived at Grandma's side, he started chasing ducks and chickens, and the two hundred and fifty who were put on the island also followed the little master to make trouble.

One person and one dog made the whole yard a mess, and what troubled Li Haoran was that as long as one was not careful, they would start to sneak away.

Li Haoran finished eating a stick of rice crackers, and in a blink of an eye, he found that little Tutu was missing.

 Looking at it, I found that he had been asked to run to the other side of the road.

Li Haoran quickly ate all the rice fragrant on his fingers, and then shouted: "Li Puyi, come back here."

Little Tutu was not afraid of anything, but he was still afraid of his cousin. When he shouted like this, he ran back in a hurry.

Li Haoran had a straight face, showed off his brother's attitude, and taught him a lesson on the spot:

“Don't just play all day long. It will be your turn to go to elementary school soon. If you have time, learn a few more words and don't fail in the exam.”

These words were usually taught to him by his mother, and since he had been taught so many times, he could say them without even thinking about them.

 After saying it, Li Haoran felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in teaching others.

 No wonder my sister-in-law likes to bully him so much. It turns out that forcing others to study is so fun.

 What he didn't expect was.

Xiao Tutu actually replied: "Brother, I have always been good at studying. If you don't believe me, I will recite the Three Character Classic and Tang poetry to you."

 “Can you recite it?”

 Li Haoran didn't believe it.

  Xiao Tutu put his hands behind his back and said gracefully: "It's very simple. I can learn it after memorizing it for a few days."

 At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good. Similar in nature, but far apart in habits."

“Goose, goose, goose, singing to the sky, white feathers floating on the green water”

Li Haoran was stunned. He didn't expect that this kid could really do it.

“In addition to these, I also have addition formulas and English letters that I can also memorize.”

Li Haoran was dumbfounded on the spot. He only learned the English alphabet when he was in junior high school, but this kid actually knew it.

If this were simple, wouldn't it make me look stupid? Li Haoran frowned. Could it be that he is the stupidest in the whole family?

Li Haoran sighed. He originally thought that Xiao Tutu was the type who was both good and fun-loving, and would definitely be similar to him in the future.

I never thought that he was so powerful. Even if his family had money, he still beat others by a large margin at the starting line. How could ordinary people live like this?

Li Haoran said a little jealously: "When did you start learning?"

  Xiao Tutu made a grimace and counted on his fingers: "It seems like three months ago, my mother didn't let me watch TV and forced me to learn these things every day whenever she had time.

What else did she say? At my age, I learn things the fastest, so I have to learn every day. She also said that when I grow up, I will have to write the couplets for our family. "

Having learned so much in three months, Li Haoran twitched the corners of his mouth, then turned around, glanced at the sky, and his face became ferocious.

Having a mother-in-law who is the head teacher is so **** scary.

 Fortunately, his mother is illiterate, so all he needs to do is fill up his homework and make it look like that.

 Because she couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong at all, especially every time he wrote an essay, he copied it directly from the newspaper.

However, what makes him depressed is that the essay he wrote in this year's final exam actually got a zero mark.

 The reason is that it is off topic.

The Chinese teacher even made a special comment: My classmate Li Duoyu was immediately rendered speechless.

Just as he expected, he failed in all subjects.

 But this year, my father and mother-in-law don't seem to care so much about his grades.

 Even after the scores came out, I didn't scold him or educate him, and I didn't even buy him an exercise book.

 Thinking of this, although Li Haoran was very happy, he felt a little disappointed.

 Feeling a bit out of favor, because now my mother's attention is all on her second child who hasn't even been born yet.

Li Haoran naturally hopes that the second child is a younger sister, but his personality should not be like that of his mother-in-law.

 This year, Li Haoran found that A Niang was particularly "quiet" this year.

I thought she would have to say a few words or deliberately make things difficult before her brother-in-law wanted to celebrate the New Year together by the fire.

Unexpectedly, Aniang readily agreed. To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with Aniang not standing up and singing the opposite tune.

But it's right to think about it. The more money your brother-in-law earns, the more obedient your mother-in-law will be.

Especially after my mother-in-law went to work in Nanri Town last year, she felt like a different person when she came back.

Li Haoran feels that the current Niang is like the Monkey King who was trapped under the Wuzhi Mountain.

 Very well behaved!

 After noon, Shuihuagu closed the grocery store, and Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun also came to help.

Grandma is making fish balls, aunt is in charge of cooking the big dishes, and Aunt Shuihua and his two cousins ​​are in charge of helping.

To his surprise, Zhang Lin, who is in fifth grade this year, is very good at chopping vegetables, even better than Shui Huagu.

Zhang Yun is a little younger, but she is still very powerful.

Xiao Pangdun looked at the rice in his hand and suddenly felt a little depressed. It turned out that he was really the most useless in the family.

When Li Duoyu visited Banyao and Cunwei, he found that the changes were quite big, and many people had built new houses.

 Several households have bought color TV sets at home, even though one person's salary is not very high.

 But if four people in the family can make money, the income is still very considerable.

If the work at the dock catches up this year, there will be at least three to four thousand in savings.

 But when encountering something particularly difficult, Li Duoyu would still secretly stuff some red envelopes.

But there are some things that can't be solved even by stuffing red envelopes. Among them is a middle-aged and elderly man who is lying on the bed unable to move, skinny and bones, and keeps moaning.

This man is in his early sixties. Li Duoyu used to call him Uncle Mo. At the beginning of the year, he worked in his eel factory.

Later on, I had some physical problems, so I went home to rest, and then I lay down until now.

He may not even know what disease he has. His family prepared a lot of Chinese herbal medicine for him to drink. They spent all their money, but it still had no effect at all.

Li Duoyu didn't say anything. Maybe he didn't know what the disease was, so he might live longer.

Before Li Duoyu left, the old man said in a weak voice: "Director Li, can my quota be reserved for my son?"

“Sure, the factory will be recruiting people next spring. I can give your family two places.”

 After hearing this, Uncle Mo wanted to get up from the bed, but found that he had no strength at all.

“Thank you, thank you so much, Director Li. It's great to choose you as the village director.”

Li Duoyu left here, probably because he was used to this scene, but he didn't feel the slightest bit sad.

 Just looked up at the sky, and then drove the fishing boat to Qixing Bay.

Even on New Year's Eve, there are still more than a dozen people and a few dogs at the Qixing Bay Breeding Base sticking to their posts.

As soon as Li Duoyu arrived, the black girl wet her pants and immediately ran over to greet him.

The black girl has become pregnant again recently, and she doesn't know which wild dog she is good with.

 Li Duoyu threw a few thigh bones casually and let them have a good year.

Even though they were still at work on New Year's Eve, everyone did not complain and still did their job well.

 Measure the water temperature when it's time to measure the water temperature, and check the equipment when it's time to check the equipment.

 Because everyone knows that only if the company is good can they be good, and these eel fry and broodstock used for breeding are very important.

 If it is not managed well, everyone will have a hard time next year, and maybe a whole group of people will be laid off.

When they saw Li Duoyu, they were also very surprised: "Director Li, why are you here too?"

 “Come and see you.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I came in such a hurry today that I didn't even give you some New Year's goods, so let's just do this.

 Those who have worked overtime in the past few days will be paid three times their wages. "

 After hearing this, everyone present cheered, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Wenchao brought a group of people to change shifts, and they went home early to have New Year's Eve dinner around the fire. From now on until the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, they have to stay at the nursery.

Li Duoyu has provided a TV early, so they can also watch the Spring Festival Gala here.

Li Duoyu checked the time, then sailed back to the island with his second brother and brother-in-law.

After the workers arrived at the dock, they said hello to Li Duoyu and rushed home without stopping.

It was almost half past five, and it was starting to get dark, and it started to drizzle.

The sound of firecrackers in the village has never stopped. Once the firecrackers go off, it means that everyone has had the New Year's Eve dinner.

A colorful plastic shed was set up near Li Duoyu's old house because everyone was having New Year's Eve dinner together.

There was no room to sit inside the house, so we had to set up a table in the courtyard, but it happened to start drizzling.

 Lao Li built an awning with colored plastic sheets and placed a small stove that burned brightly.

This way it won't get too cold. Little Tutu and the others stretched out their hands to warm themselves up over the fire. During this period, Little Tutu secretly put some rice in.

 The continuous "pah pah pah" sound startled everyone and set the sparks high.

Chen Huiying had a taboo against spanking children on New Year's Eve, but Teacher Zhou didn't, so she took out a bamboo whip from nowhere.

 His buttocks were slapped twice on the spot, and this scene happened to be seen by Li Duoyu.

 Little Tutu, who was beaten, jumped directly in front of Li Duoyu with his bare buttocks and hugged his thigh tightly.

“Dad, you are finally back. I miss you so much.”

Li Duoyu put on his pants: "What bad thing have you done again?"

 “I wanted to eat popcorn, so I put the rice in the stove.”

Li Haoran on the side couldn't help but said: "He doesn't even eat rice, how can he eat popcorn."

Li Duoyu pinched it, his face turned red from the cold: "Don't do this next time, it's very dangerous."

 “I got it, Dad.”

Li Duoyu looked at Zhou Xiaoying who was angry. Maybe Teacher Zhou had been too strict recently, and this kid actually started to get close to him.

At this moment, Aniang brought out a portion of cabbage and swimming crab soup and said:

 “It's getting late, hurry up and sit down and have dinner together.”

 After Li Duoyu and the others sat down, Lao Li also took out a jar of green and red wine sealed with red mud.

Li Duoyu said in surprise: "Dad, why do you still have some in stock? Why don't I know where you hide them?"

 Lao Li rolled his eyes at him: "If I had let you know, you would have given it away long ago.

I buried these in the soil. I originally planned to give them to Xiaorong for her wedding, but judging from her virtue, I probably won't be able to use them in the next few years, so I might as well drink them first. "

“I'm not sure, she'll get married next year.”

 Lao Li shook his head and said: "How is it possible? I don't even have time to go home for the New Year's Eve dinner. How can any family be willing to marry her?"

“Dad, don't tell me, my little sister is very popular, there are many people chasing her.”

“What's the use? I haven't talked to anyone yet. I'm only a few years old, and I've already talked to someone.”

 This year's New Year's Eve dinner is very simple, just a few families having a meal together.

Although the eldest brother Li Jinchuan has not come back, the two elders no longer worry about him.

 The two of them are also considered backbones in the machinery factory, and they still have some shares in the family's business.

 Even if you lose your job in the future, there is still a way out.

Lao Li glanced at the child's table and couldn't help but sigh. For him, what he was most worried about now was Xiao Rong's lifelong events.

Although there are a lot of delicious food on the table, except for Li Haoran, the remaining ones don't seem to be interested.

Little Tutu just wanted to have fun and didn't even care about the Spring Festival Gala. But when the fireworks went off in the sky, she was immediately frightened and ran back.

 After the New Year's Eve dinner, a few men drank some wine in the shed. Compared to the previous two years, they were more enthusiastic about the Spring Festival Gala.

Everyone still watched it this year, but it was not as exciting as the previous two years.

Also, there are more people with TVs in the village this year, and Li Duoyu specially asked someone to do statistics.

 There are more than 30 televisions in the village, more than 20 of which are color TVs.

Even Zhao Dahai's family has one. What surprised everyone was that Widow Chen from the next village actually brought her children to his house to watch TV this year.

The person who kept saying that a good horse never looks back could not help but look back in the end.

On New Year's Eve, Lao Lu was really busy. He was elected as the leader in the early morning, and he didn't expect his daughter to start the campaign at noon.

Po Wen was caught off guard. She didn't even have time to take a few bites of the New Year's Eve dinner when she was invited to his home by Lao Lu.

Po Wen looked reluctant and kept muttering: "Old Lu, if you deliver the baby today, you must give a big red envelope."

“Here, give, give, as long as it's a boy, I'll give you a big one.”

 But because Lu Yanyan was too fat, it was really not easy for her to live, and Wen Po was also tortured until her whole body was sweating.

Yanyan's scream for giving birth was louder than killing a pig, and the neighbors who were watching the Spring Festival Gala were speechless.

This year's New Year's Eve in Xiasha Village felt like everyone was having a good time, and the fireworks in the sky kept blooming.

The nearby fishing villages are an envy. Only Xiasha Village is so rich, and fireworks are set off all the time.

 But at this time, some people in the village gathered together, and what they discussed was:

 “How do the smugglers charge?”

 A young man replied: "To be specific, it depends on which line you are walking."

“Currently, if you take a boat, the market price to America is about 30,000 yuan.”

 “What about going to an island country?”

 “I also want to go to an island country.”

“The price is the same for going to the island country. As long as you get on the ship, the price is per person no matter where you go. But I suggest that it is better for you to go to America. Even if you are caught, you will not be sent back.

If you are caught going to an island country, you will most likely be deported. When you come back, you will 100% go to jail. "

“Then let's go to America. Our family will have to wait at least until the kelp is sold this year to get the money.”

 “Our family is the same.”

“If you wait until you sell kelp, it will definitely be too late. The ship will leave after the new year.

 You can get a loan first. When the time comes, you can make money from selling the kelp and working part-time, and then you can just repay the loan. "

 A middle-aged man thought for a while: "Okay, I'll pay the deposit first and reserve a place for my family."

"Can."

Now, the first batch of people who smuggled out to work have begun to send money home. Sometimes they can send back three or four thousand a month.

This makes most people red-eyed, because the money is more than what they make from fishing and breeding.

With the money you earn from working abroad in one month, you can afford a four-piece apartment, and you can build a big house for your family in one year.

 And this situation does not only happen on Dandan Island, many people are discussing this during the Chinese New Year in the coastal areas of Rongcheng.

Li Duoyu also knew about this situation. There was even a conspicuous red-headed document on the desk of the village committee.

 "About curbing illegal immigrants in coastal fishing villages..."

Every Chinese New Year, many overseas Chinese return to China to visit relatives, and this is also the time to sneak into the country.

The organization requires these village-level units to do a good job in ideological work.

The document also states that once a village has a large number of illegal immigrants, a meeting will be held to name and criticize the village.

 But Li Duoyu found that the people who were criticized were very proud.

Li Duoyu is also very confused because he was a stowaway in his previous life. It can only be said that there are pros and cons.

He planned to use the village radio to announce the situation on the first and second day of the lunar month and call some people for an ideological meeting.

Although Li Duoyu feels that if he starts farming with him from now on, he will definitely have a better future than smuggling.

 But as far as the current income is concerned, there is really no comparison. At this stage, you can indeed earn more by smuggling people and working illegally.

 After all, if we really want to persuade them, if these people don't make any money from breeding in the future, wouldn't they be blamed to death?

Li Duoyu's main message is to respect the fate of others, listen if you can, and if you don't listen, tell them about the dangers they may encounter on the way to stowaway. Some people are thrown into the sea to feed the sharks before the stowaway is successful.

 But these relatives in his family, Li Duoyu has given death orders.

 No one is allowed to cross the border illegally. (End of chapter)
