After New Year's Eve, everyone was lazy from the first to the fifth day of the lunar month.
For fishermen, these days are real days off, because now the fish markets are all closed, and even if they go fishing, there is nowhere to sell them.
Those who should play mahjong play mahjong, those who should stay in bed stay in bed, and those who should talk to matchmakers quickly do so.
The fishing boats are all parked at the pier. It seems that they are not allowed to go fishing during the New Year.
Some old people in the village said.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals also have to celebrate the New Year. If they go out to sea to fish these days, the harvest of the whole village will be bad in the future.
During the Chinese New Year, men in the village are relatively free, but women are very busy because they still have to pray in various ways these days.
Because they depend on the sky for food, everyone has become particularly respectful to the gods.
Often we have to worship the God of Heaven first, then the Queen of Heaven, and then our ancestors. After these worships, we have to worship the sea, give some food to our "good brothers", and finally we have to welcome the God of Wealth.
In short, during the Chinese New Year, Zhou Xiaoying's daily task is to follow her mother to worship her in various ways.
Li Duoyu originally wanted to stay in bed and rest for two days, but the sound of firecrackers outside was too noisy, and there were quite a few villagers who came to his home to wish him New Year greetings.
They are all acquaintances, so it's okay not to receive them. Besides, most of them have made a special trip to give you gifts.
Li Duoyu discovered that before “only melatonin was given as a gift”, the gifts given by everyone were really pretty much the same.
It's either wine or various Chinese herbal medicines and supplements, of which there are quite a lot of various kinds of whip.
Sheep whip, bull whip.
Even a riding crop is available.
This makes Li Duoyu somewhat depressed.
I always feel like these people have heard some rumors and sent these supplements on purpose?
Li Duoyu has always felt that she is very strong. Although the process of having a second child was a bit tortuous, Zhou Xiaoying insisted on having a baby dragon.
His **** is covered. If he escapes from the cage, he will definitely be trapped in his soul!
"well!"
Looking at the piles of New Year's gifts in the grocery room, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. He was just a small village director and had received so many things.
It's hard to imagine those powerful men. If the door were open, the entire villa might not be able to fit in.
Little Tutu muttered. He was completely uninterested in the things he had received in the past two days, and even looked disgusted.
“Dad, there are so many things, but there's not even a toy.”
This guy is actually a little pitiful. Since his father is the village director and his mother is Teacher Zhou, many children of the same age dare not come to play with him.
Li Duoyu touched his head, then lifted him up and let him sit directly on his neck.
Since we are all busy with the company, we really spend less time with him during this time, and Zhou Xiaoying has also been busy these days.
“What toy do you want? Dad will buy you one.”
Little Tutu sitting on Li Duoyu's neck looked happy, his little eyes were round and round, and then he said:
“Dad, I want a white balloon that grows so big when blown up and is a little transparent.”
Speaking of fun, he gestured with his hands: "That balloon is so powerful. It's bigger than your head when blown up, but it's much longer."
Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.
Ordinary people may not know what it is for a while, but as someone who has played with it, he naturally knows it very well.
His brother was in charge of this thing back then. He had stolen this thing many times, and even carried it for use in the sea.
To be honest, in addition to reducing the population, this thing is really a big balloon of particularly good quality for children.
I guess some naughty kid stole his parents' stuff and blew up balloons to play with, but Little Tutu saw it.
Although there are many such balloons in his bedside table, these things are not for little Tutu to play with.
“That thing is not easy to buy. Dad will buy you a gun. If we see other people playing with that thing in the future, we will just use the gun to break it.”
Little Tutu Chicken pecked at the rice and nodded: "Okay, then I want a gun and I will break it with one shot."
Li Duoyu took little Tutu to Ajie's grocery store, and the little guy had already been a regular customer here.
When you meet someone, your mouth is so sweet, just like an aunt.
Li Shuihua laughed and said, "No matter how nice you scream, it's useless. I won't give you snacks."
“I won't eat it, aunt. My father said he wanted to buy me a gun. Have you sold the biggest one?”
“Already sold.”
"ah"
Every time this kid is greedy, he will sneak here and beg his aunt to give him some delicious snacks.
At first, he actually succeeded several times, but later his mother-in-law discovered it and even scolded Sister Shuihua.
The grocery store has been open for almost a year. Although the store is small, it is really well-equipped. Neighbors from the surrounding area usually buy from her, and the business is still good.
Especially for children, there are many more types of toys than at the supply and marketing cooperative. Now the cooperative only has inflatable tigers, tin frogs and music boxes.
At Sister Shuihua, there are not only many types of small air guns that can be loaded with plastic bullets, but also various kinds of cannons and small fireworks.
The business of this kind of small air gun is particularly good this year, although it is not cheap, at least four or five yuan each.
But Li Duoyu saw many children holding such air guns on the road.
In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, the first people to be persecuted by small air guns were the seabirds on the island.
Air guns have replaced traditional slingshots. Often, a child with an air gun will be followed by four or five children, who specifically look for trouble with seabirds.
Most of the time, the shot will miss nine times out of ten, but if it really hits a bird, these seabirds will still be injured.
Li Duoyu tried it out in the store and felt that the air guns sold now are quite powerful, with most of them exceeding 1.8 joules.
Li Duoyu is not very clear about what 1.8 joules is, but there seems to be a teacher who loves Luo Xiang very much.
That is, within one meter, it can blind a pig's eyes, that is, it exceeds 1.8 joules.
To be honest, this thing is really dangerous. Tutu is still young and doesn't understand many things.
Li Duoyu did not buy him an air gun in the end. If he had bought it for him, the chickens and ducks at home would have suffered.
Li Duoyu finally bought him that kind of revolver-smashing gun.
This kind of gun does not fire bullets, but it can make a huge explosion and smoke.
What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that there was actually a metal version of this thing. It was heavy in his hand, and the quality was very good at first glance.
“Sister, this is the gun. How much does it cost?”
While Li Duoyu was taking out the money, Li Shuihua said: "Whatever money you want, just treat it like I gave it to Xiao Tutu."
"That's so good, then I won't be polite." Li Duoyu really didn't intend to be polite to Sister A. If he really gave her money, it would make him look angry.
“I'll give you more bullets.”
When he bought this gun, Xiao Tutu was not very happy because he felt that the bigger the gun, the better.
But when Li Duoyu loaded the bullet, he pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang bang several times in succession.
You could smell a very fragrant smell of gunpowder at the scene, and little Tutu's eyes lit up. Although he was afraid of big fireworks, he was not afraid of this kind.
“Dad, give it to me quickly.”
“Don't run out of bullets.”
And after Xiao Tutu got this gun, he felt so majestic. When he saw a dog on the roadside, he immediately loaded the gun and shot at the dog with "bang bang bang".
Although no bullets were fired, the sound of the gunshot still frightened the dogs and ran away. One puppy saw little Tutu rushing over, shot at it and even fell down in fright.
It made little Tutu laugh.
Li Duoyu held his forehead and was speechless. As long as this guy was in the area, it was almost impossible to see cats and dogs.
The main thing is that the dogs on the island are very humane. They are really not afraid of him, but of him, the village director. The happiness of a child is as simple as getting a new toy and playing with it in the yard all day long.
It even attracted a lot of children, who all gathered around little Tutu and said one at a time: "Tutu, can you lend me a hand to play with?"
Unexpectedly, this kid is very stingy and doesn't want to give his toys to others to play with: “No, bullets cost money.”
“Just lend me a hand to play with.”
"don't want."
Li Duoyu was lying on a rocking chair and watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala. This year's Spring Festival Gala lineup is still very luxurious.
Among them are You Benchang who plays Jigong, Teacher Li who spoils his children rotten, and Fei Xiang who never ages.
Looking at Fei Xiang's appearance on TV, Li Duoyu found it hard to imagine that this guy was not much different in forty years than he is now.
At this moment, someone knocked on the iron door of his house again. Li Duoyu sighed, and someone came to pay him New Year's greetings.
I did not expect to look at it. It was actually Li Yujun, the boy. When I came, there were still a few bottles of packaging Fen Jiu in their hands.
“Brother, my father asked me to bring a few bottles of wine for you to drink.”
Li Duoyu smiled and said:
“Don't stand at the door, come in and sit.”
This kid has been very reserved since he was beaten. Even when he goes to his house to sit, he still only dares to sit half-assed, and even looks a little upright.
Looking at this sitting posture, Li Duoyu knew clearly that this boy was definitely taking education classes.
Li Duoyu, who has been in there before, knows very well what it is like inside. If smugglers and economic criminals like them go in, they are better than rapists. After entering, they will often be taught a miserable life.
Although Yujun's hair has grown out, that area still looks a little sparse.
It has been some time since the boy was released from prison, and he would occasionally go out to work with the boat. However, Yujun was an only son, and the third aunt felt that father and son could not be on the same boat, so she called him back.
After returning home, Li Yujun, who had nothing to do, stayed at home all day and rarely went for a walk on the road.
Walking on the road, everyone would still say hello to him, but Li Yujun could still notice that something was obviously wrong with everyone's eyes. Sometimes, he could hear people gossiping about him behind him.
Li Yujun has reached the age of marriage. Even though his family is very rich, there are really not many matchmakers who come to him and take the initiative to introduce a partner to him.
Mainly some families with relatively good conditions, but they still have concerns, and now the "formal examination" is very strict.
Once someone has served in prison, it will have a huge impact on future generations. It will be almost impossible to join the army, and many units will also conduct strict inspections, making it almost difficult to have an iron rice bowl.
In his previous life, Li Duoyu and his son almost failed to pass the "formal trial". Fortunately, the leader appreciated him very much.
In addition, Li Duoyu had not been with him since he was a child, so he provided a certificate proving that he had not lived with his father since he was a child, and then he passed the review.
Li Duoyu only realized after experiencing this that the price to pay for domestic crimes is very high.
This cost often lasts a lifetime, and the harm to future generations continues.
After Li Yujun arrived at the hall, he also watched the Spring Festival Gala, and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Li Duoyu also roughly guessed the purpose of his visit. If the third uncle really wanted to give him a drink, he could just do it himself.
There is no need to call Yujun.
He guessed that something was coming to him. Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Li Duoyu said, "By the way, Yujun, the New Year has passed, have you found something to do now?"
Li Yujun scratched his head: "My mother refuses to let me go fishing, so I don't know what to do now."
“That's it.”
Li Duoyu pondered for a while: "I happen to be in our factory, and we will expand enrollment next year. Do you want to come?"
After Li Yujun heard this, he became excited and blurted out on the spot: "I think I can do anything as a toilet sweeper."
Li Duoyu frowned and said:
“You are in there, do you clean the toilet often?”
Li Yujun nodded.
“I clean all the toilets inside.”
Li Duoyu sighed. This child must have suffered a lot, otherwise his personality wouldn't have changed so much.
"However, I have made a promise in advance. Regardless of whether you are a relative or not, when you come to my factory, you will have to start from the grassroots level. Whether you can climb up depends on your ability."
“I understand, brother, it would be nice if I had a place to go. It's better than staying at home.”
At this moment, Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "Let me ask you something, has anyone in the village come to persuade you to smuggle you out of the country?"
Li Yujun nodded.
“Yes, two more came and said that it would be difficult for a person like me with a criminal record to get around in the country, so it would be better to go abroad to make money.”
Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask:
“Are you planning to go out?”
Li Yujun said truthfully: "To be honest, I really want to live in a new environment, but my father is 100% unwilling to let me cross the border illegally."
After hearing this, Li Duoyu was silent for a long time. If someone could have guided him back then, perhaps there would not have been the tragedies that followed.
Li Duoyu patted him on the shoulder: "Let's prepare in the past two days. Work will officially start on the sixth day of the lunar month. You first go to Xiaochao and let him take you for a while."
“I understand, brother.”
This day is the third day of the lunar month.
Li Duoyu came to the broadcasting room at the village committee, turned on the power switch of the broadcasting equipment, and then patted the microphone.
“Hey, hey, hey.”
“Dear fellow villagers, hello everyone, I am Li Duoyu. During this period, I heard some noises.
Smuggling is not a good idea. Although money is easy to make outside, you have to have a life to earn it.
I have heard that a whole boatload of stowaways were suffocated to death in the cabin and then thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
The ship had not yet docked, and when the coast guard came to patrol, they all asked them to jump into the sea and go swimming.
Some of them are said to be nice and will arrive in a month or two. In fact, they have taken people to Africa and released them to South America. By then, you won't know where they are.
This year, our village has tentatively decided to hold a lecture on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. At that time, Party Secretary Chen will give a lecture to everyone about the dangers of smuggling. I hope everyone can attend. "
“This time, I will only speak once. If you want to know more details, please come to the village committee to listen to the lecture on the evening of the ninth day of the lunar month.”
When Li Duoyu was broadcasting, almost half of the villagers were listening with their ears pricked up, but when everyone finished listening.
Everyone was stunned.
Because they discovered how Director Li was so familiar with illegal immigration, and even knew the disasters that occurred during illegal immigration.
In fact, everyone has always been worried about these things. After all, after getting on the ship, you can't make your own decisions.
“There are so many fish, you can't sneak across them, right?”
“Perhaps, it's really possible. He was the person in our village who wanted to work abroad the most. He even learned Japanese secretly. He might have been on a ship long ago.”
“Then why is he back?”
“But I think what Director Li said is very reasonable. Smuggling is too dangerous, and I've heard that if one person smuggles across the country, the whole family will be blacklisted. What will happen if the child wants to become a soldier in the future?”
Someone hummed: "As long as we don't get caught, who knows we smuggled across the border, we can just tell others that we fell into the sea and disappeared."
At this moment, Chen Jianghe, who was far away in the next county, had an itchy nose for no reason and sneezed. He always felt like someone was saying bad things about him behind his back.
This year's New Year, he is still under a lot of pressure. He is not too young, and the pressure from his family to get married is very strong.
This year he also brought his girlfriend home, but his family's conditions are really not very good, but the girl is from the city.
As far as both families are concerned, he is on a high level. He originally went home to ask his parents about the marriage.
But after he returned to the village, he found that everyone was not very concerned about his life-long events. Instead, they were more concerned about whether his relationship with Li Duoyu was good or not.
Can you help introduce me to him, and also asked him how to get to work in Li Duoyu's breeding factory. (End of chapter)
