In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

the next day.

After Li Duoyu finished breakfast, he put on the sweater knitted by his wife and looked very energetic.

Zhou Xiaoying also wore the wide-waisted skirt made of imported cloth that Li Duoyu bought for her last year.

When the two of them went out dressed like this, they happened to bump into the second sister-in-law who was brushing her teeth, and she was stunned for a moment.

Especially when she saw Zhou Xiaoying's outfit, her face was full of envy. That wide skirt looked really good on her.

When she saw Zhou Xiaoying's waist, Zhu Xiuhua couldn't help pinching the ring of flesh on her waist, and couldn't help but sigh. She wasn't that fat when she was young. She only gained weight after marrying Li Yaoguo.

What concerned her most was the beautiful gemstone necklace around Xiaoying's neck. A frugal person like her would definitely not buy jewelry for herself.

It didn't take much thinking to guess that it was Li Duoyu who bought it for her. Thinking that she had never received a single piece of jewelry after so many years of marriage, she felt instantly bad.

The little chubby guy who had just woken up, with his hair still sticking up, saw that his uncle and aunt were so well-dressed, and he immediately opened his eyes and asked:

"Uncle, aunt, you look so good in your clothes, are you going to leave the island?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Well, I have to go to Rongcheng."

"Go to Rongcheng."

Li Haoran frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It's Chinese New Year. I saw candied haws on the road. Can you bring it back to me?"

Zhu Xiuhua on the side saw Haoran shamelessly asking for food. She was a little emotional and couldn't help but curse:

"Eat, eat, eat. I have been eating, eating, eating all day long. I don't have many teeth left. I am still thinking about eating. Have you done your winter vacation homework?"

"If you really don't want to study, just follow me to the eel factory and help with the sanitation."

Faced with his grandma's sudden outburst, Li Haoran was also confused. His dad didn't offend her last night. Why did his temper suddenly explode? Could it be that he had early menopause?

When he thought of this, Li Haoran's face turned pale, and he felt that his future happiness was gone.

And right now.

The whistle of the passenger ship at the pier sounded, and Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying were planning to grab a good seat.

But as soon as he took two steps, little Tutu's cry came from the bedroom.

Zhou Xiaoying immediately rushed back to the bedroom and found little Tutu crying loudly in her mother's arms, shouting in a milky voice: "Mom~"

"Mom~"

Seeing little Tutu crying like this, Zhou Xiaoying was extremely reluctant to let go. She never left the island after having the child.

Seeing the passenger ship's whistle sound again, Li Duoyu suggested, "How about we take Tutu with us."

Zhou Xiaoying thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let him go for a walk too."

When Chen Huiying heard that her children were being brought to Rongcheng to attend someone else's opening ceremony, she immediately frowned.

"Those who take a boat or a car, what are you doing with your children? You go out to eat, and your children suffer the consequences."

"You two are so old, why are you still ignorant? If the child cries, you just come over to comfort him. This will only make it more and more difficult to take care of the child."

Neither of them expected that they would be given a hard lesson by A Niang.

Immediately afterwards, grandma picked up the rattle, coaxed little Tutu, and said: "Tutu, grandma will take you to see the seabirds. They are very beautiful. There are many crabs over there at the pier."

Little Tutu seemed to understand. After a few words of coaxing, she stopped crying and instead laughed at the rattle.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Xiao Tutu helplessly. Ever since his mother-in-law often took him out to play, this boy has become less and less "mommy-minded" recently.

If she didn't have a pair of breasts for him to feed, it felt like she would be useless as a mother.

Chen Huiying looked at the two of them slightly angrily: "With you here, it will be more difficult to take care of the child. Hurry, the passenger ship will leave soon. If it is later, you will not be able to catch up."

Taking advantage of Xiao Tutu's distraction, the two got on the bus and jogged towards Qingkou Pier.

I jumped on the passenger ship just in time as it left the dock.

Since the Chinese New Year is approaching, the town can go to the fair every day. The passenger boats are full of people, most of them carrying sacks of dry goods, ready to sell in the fair.

The two people's dressing up naturally attracted the attention of the villagers.

"Hey, isn't this Duoyu? Why are you dressed so handsomely today?"

In the past, everyone always thought that when Li Duoyu married Teacher Zhou, he was just a toad eating swan meat. But today, when he took a closer look, he found that Duoyu was quite handsome.

An aunt said: "Teacher Zhou, after you gave birth to your child, you have become more beautiful and more feminine."

Zhou Xiaoying smiled: "No way, after giving birth, I feel a lot fatter."

The aunt smiled and said: "It's better to be fatter. Teacher Zhou needs to strike while the iron is hot. Hurry up and ask Duoyu for another big fat baby. Otherwise, your family, Duoyu, makes so much money, and you can't spend it all on just one child."

"If you can't spend all the money, I'll help you spend it."

After hearing this.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Several villagers from Chenjia Village, after seeing the two of them, asked in confusion: "Brother, let me ask you something, are these two from your village too? Why do they look so fashionable?"

A young man said: "That is our village chief and his wife."

People in Chenjiacun were surprised: "Is it that Li Duoyu? How come it is so different from what we saw before?"

The young man smiled and said, "That's because you haven't seen our village chief's previous afro, otherwise you wouldn't have said that."

"Ah, your village chief even had an afro."

"I don't know. Our village chief is a typical prodigal son who never returns money."

One of the people from Chenjia Village asked: "Brother, can you help me ask? I want to work in his eel breeding factory. I heard that the monthly salary is 50 yuan."

"What are you thinking about? The eel factory is not big, and we don't need that many people now. Besides, if we really wanted to recruit people, people from our village would have already rushed there, so it would be your turn."

The people in Chenjia Village smiled awkwardly: "Maybe your village chief's eel factory will get bigger and bigger in the future."

"It's possible."

After taking the passenger boat for half an hour, we arrived at Qingkou Pier, and the villagers got off the boat carrying dry goods.

Some choose to take the bus, some work together on a tractor, and some simply walk directly to the town in order to save money.

As soon as Li Duoyu got off the dock, he could see from a distance that the factory building near the dock had been built. It was not a tile-roofed house with beams, but one with cement slabs.

The factory site surrounded by walls is about 20 acres in size. There is a huge signboard on the top, and the big characters on it can be seen clearly from a distance.

Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory (Shangfeng Branch)

According to Li Duoyu's understanding, this is an integrated seafood factory built after the inspection team inspected the cold chain transportation in Nagasaki.

All the latest machinery and equipment are used, and there is also a cold storage and ice making plant with thousands of tons.

In the future, when fishermen go fishing in the open sea, they can buy ice directly here instead of going to Rongcheng Pier, which can save a lot of gas costs.

As soon as Li Duoyu arrived at the dock, someone immediately greeted him. The fishmonger Lao Zhang saw him.

"Duoyu, you are dressed like this, I almost can't recognize you. This must be your sister-in-law, they are really pretty."

Li Duoyu nodded and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, long time no see. How is business lately?"

Lao Zhang lamented: "How can this be good? Didn't you see the big factory at the back? When it officially opens, we will be unemployed."

Li Duoyu smiled.

What Lao Zhang said is true. After the aquatic product processing plant officially opens, the first ones to be affected will definitely be the fishmongers on the dock.

At that time, fishermen will sell seafood directly to processing plants, eliminating the need for middlemen and earning more money.

After Lao Zhang saw Li Duoyu, he suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "Duoyu, please wait for a moment and I will give you something."

"Don't be so polite. I have something to do and will be leaving soon."

Before Li Duoyu could refuse, Lao Zhang hurriedly ran to his agricultural truck specially used to transport seafood, brought a small wooden box over and stuffed it directly into Li Duoyu's hand.

"This is the Changbai Mountain ginseng given by a friend. There is just one ginseng left, so I gave it to you."

Hearing that it was ginseng, Li Duoyu frowned. In this era, ginseng is not cheap. It can be said to be the most expensive medicinal material.

Coupled with those Hong Kong dramas and movies, the efficacy of ginseng has been blown away. After the opening, the price of ginseng has been soaring.

Especially old ginseng is more expensive than gold.

Seeing Lao Zhang giving such expensive things, Li Duoyu felt that he must have ulterior motives.

Just when Li Duoyu was about to return the ginseng to him, Lao Zhang held his hand tightly and said seriously:

"Duoyu, you have to keep this ginseng. You also know that after this factory is built, I will have no business. By then, you must let Shuguang save more of the fish you caught in the sea for me."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu suddenly realized that it turned out that Lao Zhang had the idea of ​​​​fishing in the sea.

Remember him, it seems that he has a relative who does purchasing in a foreign trade hotel. Even if the business at the dock is not easy, he can still make a lot of money just by doing that relative's business.

Li Duoyu thought about it.

"Okay, then I'll go back and tell Shuguang, and I'll give this ginseng to him on your behalf."

"No, you keep this one, I've already given him one."

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he ran away: "It's settled, a fishing boat is coming, I will collect the fish first."

Li Duoyu glanced at the wooden box containing ginseng in his hand, then handed the box to Xiaoying and said, "Here you go."

Xiaoying smiled and said: "If you really give it to me, I can sell it for money."

Li Duoyu checked the time and found that it was already past nine o'clock. The two of them quickly got on the bus to Rongcheng.

But what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that as soon as he got in the car, he saw a sweet-looking girl waving to him and saying hello.

"Brother Duoyu, I still have room here."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she noticed that there was a beautiful elder sister following Li Duoyu, and then she was stunned.

He lowered his head silently, his expression became a little overwhelmed, and his face was as red as a tomato.

Zhou Xiaoying smiled and said calmly: "I didn't expect that my husband is so popular and has such a wide circle of friends. There are people saying hello to you all the way."

"Hahaha."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, he really wanted to get off the car now.
