In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

When I got home.

Li Duoyu found that his brother-in-law had come back. He looked a little confused. He didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed.

Lao Li was sitting on the stone slab in the yard smoking a cigarette. He glanced at Li Duoyu and said a little tiredly: "Be careful tonight, don't force yourself to know."

Li Duoyu knew that his father must also know about his participation in the Dongjia rescue.

"Understood, Dad."

Lao Li glanced at Lao Si and wanted to say something more, but in the end he held back his words.

The child has grown up and has his own opinions. It is useless to worry about some things. The most you can do is let him pay more attention to safety.

I don’t know why, but each of these children has become successful and behaved, but they feel more and more tired.

When I was a kid, I just cared about whether they had enough to eat and didn't get sick or catch a cold. When they grow up, I'm most afraid of them learning bad things.

Now that they are married and independent, they should be more relaxed, but Lao Li found that he had more and more things to worry about.

After learning that Li Duoyu was going to rescue people, his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng said: "Duoyu, do you want me to go with you tonight? I really don't want to brag. In our village, my water performance ranks among the top three."

Li Duoyu shook his head. If he went alone, his father would be worried enough. If he drags his brother-in-law with him again, his father would probably become anxious with him.

"No need, I brought the one with the best water quality in our village."

"so smart."

Li Duoyu smiled: "If you can swim back from the open sea at night, you can tell me how powerful you are."

Zhang Mingsheng was dumbfounded on the spot and said quickly: "This is really incomparable. Please introduce this kind of god to me in the future."

"no problem."

Li Duoyu glanced into the hall and found that the color TV in the hall was turned off, so he asked, "Where is my sister?"

Zhang Mingsheng sighed: "I'm already in the room."

Li Duoyu glanced at his brother-in-law and asked, "What did Director Liu say after I left?"

"Director Liu said that as long as no one sees Shuihua's belly and no one goes to her to report it, she will pretend that nothing happened."

Li Duoyu felt something was wrong and asked nervously: "Did she accept the money?"

Zhang Mingsheng shook his head.

"When I gave it to her, she refused directly, but she didn't say she didn't want it. She just said she would wait until the baby was born."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party said that he would wait until the child was born, it would prove that he didn't want to care about it.

As for not accepting money, it was obviously to gain face by selling him. In this way, he owed her a favor.

For Li Duoyu today, all the things that can be solved with money are trivial matters, but returning favors is very troublesome.

Director Liu is also a smart man, so there is no violation in confiscating the money.

The most pitiful person is Sister A. It is estimated that from today on, Sister A will have to be locked in the room and cannot be seen by people in the village. Otherwise, if she is reported, Director Liu will not be able to protect her in such a high-pressure environment.

It's only been four months now, so if you give it a try, you'll have to stay in the house for at least half a year.

During this period, he had to eat, drink, and defecate inside the house, and he was not even allowed to go to the public toilet. Just thinking about it made Li Duoyu feel very broken.

It's really hard to work hard to have one more child these days.

Li Duoyu originally planned to secretly put the color TV in sister's house so that she would not be too bored.

But when I thought about this guy Li Haoran, I thought about it.

Think about it or forget it.

This kid would definitely be tempted to go and watch TV secretly, and maybe he would be exposed.

Besides, if there is a color TV, nearby neighbors will definitely come to their house to watch TV. When the time comes, there will be too many people, and the probability of being discovered will be higher.

Li Duoyu simply put away the color TV and said it was broken. He took it to be repaired and then took it out for use after the new house was built.

At this moment, the second sister-in-law who came out to fill the bath water seemed to be in a very good mood. She would say hello when she saw him.

"Duoyu, why are you back so late?"

Li Duoyu smiled: "There's something going on over there at the dock."

"Being a village director means you are busy."

Seeing the spring look on his second sister-in-law's face, Li Duoyu guessed without thinking that she had already received the favor money from her brother-in-law.

As happy as the second sister-in-law was smiling, the second brother Li Yaoguo's face was so ugly. After beating Zhu Xiuhua and accepting the money, Li Yaoguo felt that his face had been completely humiliated by her.

Li Yaoguo picked up the quilt and pillow and went out directly.

Seeing Li Yaoguo going out with his quilt in his arms, the second sister-in-law said anxiously on the spot: "Yaoguo, why are you going?"

Li Yaoguo replied coldly: "Recently, I have been working the night shift. This month, it will be my turn. I will go to sleep at the eel factory."

"Are you sick."

"You want to quarrel with me on purpose, don't you?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhang Mingsheng quickly advised: "Second sister-in-law, don't be angry. If you sleep outside for two days, he will come back on his own."

Li Duoyu was also quite surprised when he saw this scene, because the second brother, who had finally regained his strength, actually dared to "run away from home."

Although he asked Xiao Chao to call him, Li Duoyu had never seen such a tough second brother.

When I got home.

Zhou Xiaoying had just coaxed Xiao Tutu to sleep.

Li Duoyu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping little Tutu, and couldn't help but want to poke his little face with his hand.

Zhou Xiaoying clapped his hand, frowned and said, "It's been hard to fall asleep recently. I rocked him for two hours before falling asleep. If you wake me up, it's your turn to coax him."

Li Duoyu smiled. It was really a test of patience to coax the child to sleep.

Not long ago, little Tutu woke up in the middle of the night and kept crying. Li Duoyu held him in the room for two hours before falling asleep, and his hands were numb from holding him.

Li Duoyu noticed that a set of clothes had been prepared on the table, and two light cakes were wrapped in brown paper bags. A green military kettle was placed next to it.

It depends on the situation. Xiaoying also knows the situation and has prepared everything for him to go to sea.

"Already know."

Zhou Xiaoying nodded: "How could you not know about such a big thing?"

"Don't say a word to me."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed: "Is it useful for me to say a few words to you about what you have decided?"

Li Duoyu grinned and said: "How can it be useless? For example, when I think about that, if you say a few words, I won't listen to you."

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him.

"New Year's Eve didn't just come."

Li Duoyu glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "There is still an hour and a half before we go out to sea, and Tutu is also asleep now."

Zhou Xiaoying directly slapped off the paw of the dog he picked up: "Stop making trouble, you have to save people tonight, let's wait until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, this is what you said, I'll write it down."

Zhou Xiaoying was a little helpless. In fact, she didn't hate it, but the sound insulation effect of the room was so poor that she worried about being heard by the next door every time.

Li Duoyu continued: "By the way, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you. Director Liu has relented, and my sister has decided to live with my father and mother."

Zhou Xiaoying said with a smile: "This is a good thing, but my sister has suffered a bit."

"It's quite painful, but what I want to tell you is that we may be preparing to build a new house next month."

"So anxious?"

"It's okay if we don't rush. My sister is here now, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law may come back often.

In our yard, there is only Xiaorong's empty house. To be honest, if my eldest brother and sister-in-law had not rushed back today, my sister and brother-in-law would have had no place to live. "

"If Xiaorong comes back, we will probably have to lay the floor together."

"Where are you going to build it?"

"My father has already found the place for us. It is the vegetable plot of Mrs. Wang and Old Lu's family. The two plots of land are connected, and together with the one next to it, it is almost [-] square meters."

"It's so big. It will cost a lot of money to build it. You have recently built an eel factory and invested in a large fishing boat. Now you want to build a house. Do you have enough money?"

After Zhou Xiaoying finished speaking, she went to get her small iron box again: "In addition to what you gave me, I have also saved one thousand and fifty in the past two years."

"You don't have to worry about money. The kelp will be sold in two months. There will be twice as much kelp this year as last year, and it can be sold for at least [-] yuan.

In July, eels can also be shipped. If we can negotiate with people from the island countries, we can earn at least several households worth ten thousand yuan.

In November, we can also sell the second batch of oysters.

We don’t lack money to build houses at all. What we lack are masters who can build the houses beautifully. "

Zhou Xiaoying was quite worried at first because she always felt that Duoyu had borrowed so much money.

I'm afraid that something will happen to him one day.

She has been saving money for the past two years to prepare for emergencies.

But after he calculated it like this.

She suddenly discovered that her family seemed to be just as those female colleagues said, really rich.

Li Duoyu said: "Actually, we don't need to build a house with the [-] square meters. We will build a [-] square meters, a two-story house, and the rest will be used as a courtyard. We will also build a special room for bathing and toilets.

From now on, you can use the toilet at home instead of going to public toilets. "

Zhou Xiaoying was shocked and said: "Wouldn't it be very smelly to make a toilet in the courtyard of your own home?"

After hearing this, Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly. For Dandan Island, bathrooms and septic tanks seemed a bit too advanced.

Even the Wang brothers and their third uncle, who were the first to build new houses after the opening up, only had urinals in their homes and no such things as bathrooms.

Zhou Xiaoying had never seen that thing before, and Li Duoyu felt that he wouldn't be able to explain it to her for a while.

"In short, I can guarantee that you can use the toilet at home, and I can guarantee that it will never stink."

"That's good. The house doesn't need to be built on two floors, but it's really good that you can use the toilet at home."

"I've been so good to you, Comrade Xiaoying, you can reward me no matter how high or low you are."

Zhou Xiaoying squinted her eyes and said:

"Then I'll reward you with 5 minutes?"

The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched: "Who are you looking down on? Five minutes is not enough."

"Hmph, I don't know who it was, but it ended in 2 minutes last time."

"On New Year's Eve, I was interrupted by Uncle Zhuang, okay? If I perform normally, I will have at least two hours to prepare."

"Two hours, that's so long. It's definitely too late. Let's try another day."

"Don't be like this, just half an hour."

Zhou Xiaoying glanced at Li Duoyu speechlessly, and suddenly said submissively: "Okay, I hope you stick to it."

Li Duoyu:

Even though Zhou Xiaoying is a teacher, she is very timid and afraid of ghosts, and hardly dares to walk at night.

When she was a child, she once watched "Storytelling" and saw a ghost story related to the toilet. As a result, she was so scared that she did not dare to squat in the toilet at night.

Every time I wanted to go to the latrine at night, I would drag him along and make him guard the door and not allowed to leave.

She was timid and was afraid that Li Duoyu would run away, so she would call him by his name from time to time. Once, Li Duoyu deliberately ignored her and even pretended to be a ghost to scare her.

Unexpectedly, it really frightened her, which directly caused Zhou Xiaoying to be "possessed" for two days, as if she had lost her mind.

Li Duoyu remembered clearly that day, he was badly repaired by his father, and one or two sticks were broken.

And after that.

Li Duoyu never dared to make that kind of joke with Xiaoying again.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that just when the atmosphere in the room was ambiguous, Aniang came knocking on the door and said:

"Duoyu, that golden phoenix came to you and said that the salty porridge has been cooked and asked you to come and eat together."

Li Duoyu, who was just about to enter the main scene, immediately stopped and cursed.

Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help laughing and said, "You can't blame me for this."

Li Duoyu looked at his watch. Forget it, there didn't seem to be much time left, so he got up and put on his clothes.

And brought the things Zhou Xiaoying prepared for him.

Zhou Xiaoying said on the bed: "When you come back tomorrow morning, what would you like for breakfast?"

"Easy, just eat you."

"Then you have to come back early. I have classes tomorrow and will go to school at seven o'clock."

"I know, I will definitely come back soon."

"That's good, please be safe."

By the time Li Duoyu arrived at Zhang Jinfeng's house, a lot of people had gathered. Chen Wenchao, Zhao brothers, and uncles were all here.

Everyone took bowls and chopsticks and ate the salty porridge standing up.

His elementary school classmate Zhang Defa is also here. He carries a leather-brown medicine kit with a red cross printed on it.

After seeing Li Duoyu, Zhang Jinfeng immediately said: "Village Director, drink some salty porridge to warm yourself up first. When you come back, I will cook you a pot of salty rice."

Li Duoyu also simply ate two bowls of salty porridge. After seeing that everyone was here, he simply set off early for Tongkak Reef.

The uncle's tugboat drove in front, and the two diesel sampans of Li Duoyu and the Zhao brothers were towed directly behind.

Since Uncle's trawler was not very powerful, it was a product of the early 70s and only had about 80 horses. It took a full hour and a half to reach the vicinity of Tung Kak Reef.

Everyone can see the fire on Dongjia Reef from a distance. It should be Captain Zhang and Wei Guo who are lighting a fire to keep warm.

This place is still 800 meters away from where Liu Mazi and Chen Liang are. Even if the searchlight on the ship is turned on to the brightest, they cannot be seen.

When approaching the island, the uncle did not dare to drive forward. He shouted to Li Duoyu who was standing on the bow of the boat: "Next, it will be up to you to take command."

At this moment, Li Duoyu was identifying the current location of the tugboat through the firelight on Dongjia Reef.

Not long after.

A simple sea chart was generated in his mind:

"Uncle, you drive slower, about five knots is enough. First turn 15 degrees to the right, drive about 100 meters, then turn back, and then drive straight ahead."

The side effects of the medicine have been a bit severe in the past two days, making me feel dizzy and dizzy. The update has been a bit slow, sorry.
