In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Li Duoyu really didn't expect that in just a few years, not only the island's electricity problem was solved, but now the communication problem was also solved.

Although everything depends on human efforts.

But think about it, it's really magical. How much money would it cost to solve the communication problem of an offshore island? If it weren't for the support of the organization, Li Duoyu wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Li Duoyu also understood what Secretary Chen meant. The lines had been connected, and it would be embarrassing if there were no telephones.

But the installation cost of a phone starts at five thousand. Although the fishermen on Dandan Island are rich now, only a few can afford this money.

Also, not everyone is suitable for installing a telephone. After all, not many people have telephones these days, and everyone’s social circle is very small.

Most interpersonal relationships are limited to one's own village. It's just a matter of yelling, and there's no need to use the phone at all. Even if someone pretends to be cool, if he doesn't do business, he's just an expensive decoration that requires a monthly rental fee.

However, people like my uncle and third uncle who run boats still have some business on weekdays and need to contact some fishmongers, so it is necessary to install some equipment.

My eldest cousin Li Shuguang now has a fishing fleet. He has been cooperating with Chen Yuansu's restaurant. With a phone, he can contact the restaurant's purchasing department at any time.

Tang Ping, who raises clams, can also install one, and the village committee can install one. As for other villagers, there is really no need to install one.

There is also Sister Shuihua's grocery store. Li Duoyu suggested that she install one and use it as a public telephone. When the villagers want to make a phone call, they can just go to her store.

Dandan Island should be the only one to build an submarine cable communication directly off the coast. It will definitely be reported in the newspapers, and in major newspapers at that.

For the villagers, this is definitely a good thing, but for Li Duoyu, organizing this wave of pressure is really too much.

The better the organization treats you, the better the test paper you submit will be. Now Minlong is at a bottleneck in its development and is in urgent need of all kinds of talents. If it keeps rushing forward, if something goes wrong, it will really become a mess.

Chen Jianghe didn't drink much, and went back with a red neck. His alcohol tolerance was still so poor. Before leaving, he took advantage of the alcohol and said: "The best decision I made in my life was to come to Xiasha Village to be the village party secretary and meet Brother Yu and his gang."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes at him. If he remembered correctly, this kid's original purpose of becoming the village party secretary was to get him.

But he didn't expect that his backers would collapse before he even started, and he was left here and suffered a lot.

Seeing him stumbling, Li Duoyu reminded him, "Slow down, don't fall into the stinky ditch again."

"Don't worry, I've been to Dandan Island for so long that I can walk there with my eyes closed." But as soon as he finished speaking, he ran head-on into a telephone pole.

"Hey, when did a telephone pole appear here?"

Li Duoyu felt pain just watching it.

The news that Dandan Island was going to lay telephone lines also reached the neighboring Chenjia Village. Since the relationship between the two villages improved, they have become very low-key.

Neither side mentioned the conflict of that year, even though the two top bosses were from Xiasha Village, they didn't say anything.

After all, the good days have just begun, and they now have a tacit understanding, which is to make good money. If any young man causes trouble, he will be punished according to the clan law.

Several people in charge of the village gathered together and were discussing the issue of the phone call.

"Atai, your family should be able to get a phone. The phone line has been pulled in. Our village should also show its support for Director Li's work as much as possible."

Chen A'tai thought for a while. He already had a "Second Brother" in his hand, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, let's get one at home too."

"Then, let's get one public telephone in the grocery store in our village, and another one for the village council. We can try to get five in total, so that we don't bring shame to our village."

At this time, an old man asked, "By the way, the relationship between our two villages has been reconciled for almost two years, why hasn't Li Duoyu come to our Chen Clan Ancestral Hall to pay his respects yet?"

"Chen Huiying didn't let him come, saying that his last name was Li, not Chen, and he was not suitable to enter our Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, so she only took him to visit the grave."

The old man frowned and said, "Why is this woman so old-fashioned? What's the matter with that? After all, Li Duoyu has a connection with us. A fortune teller said that Li Duoyu is in such and such a position now, and his luck is particularly good. If he can come and worship, our village's luck will be better."

An old man replied: "I don't think it's necessary. Duoyu has already taken good care of us. We just need to follow him and don't need to do anything else."

Chen A'tai also nodded: "I also don't think it's necessary. Duoyu is a very positive person and a very nice person. As long as we don't cause any trouble, it will be fine for him to follow behind and eat meat and drink soup."

The happiest person during this period is Mr. Li, as his family has three more precious grandchildren in the past two years.

He used to have a stern face and was not talkative, but now he plays happily with his grandchildren every day and has become a lot more cheerful.

Especially Sister Shuihua’s eldest daughter and second daughter, they are really well-behaved. Whenever they have time, one of them will fan him with a palm-leaf fan, and the other will pat his shoulder. They are really like caring little cotton-padded jackets.

Sometimes, when Li Duoyu looked at Lao Li's smile, he suddenly felt that this was what family happiness was all about.

As for little Tutu, he is a real troublemaker. If you don't look at him, he will definitely do something bad in some corner.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Yun shouted, "Grandpa, it seems that little Tutu broke the water tank for watering the vegetables."

After hearing this, Lao Li couldn't help but scold: "Why are you just like your father when he was a kid, always picking on the jar."

After returning home, Li Duoyu took a bath and stared at the sunset on the island in a daze. People's moods are different, and the scenery they see is also different.

In his previous life, he never thought the sunset at sea was beautiful. He even felt it was a little desolate, just like his wasted life.

If you are alone, you will feel lonely no matter how beautiful the scenery is. But if you have someone to accompany you, it will be different.

Now, Li Duoyu felt that the sunset was extremely gorgeous. In the yard, Zhou Xiaoying was giving a bath to the naked little Tutu. The boy had just run out and fell into the stinky ditch.

Now his whole body was soaking in a large wooden tub. While Zhou Xiaoying was cleaning the dirt off him, she couldn't help scolding him.

But this boy was so daring that he started playing with water and even wet his mother's hair and clothes.

Zhou Xiaoying was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, but she thought that she had beaten him too much recently, so she just yelled:

"Li Duoyu, I can't take care of you, kid. Come and take care of it yourself."

Li Duoyu picked up the bamboo whip on the spot and ran over angrily: "That's great, the clothes are taken off, now it feels better when I beat you."

Little Tutu was so scared that he started crying on the spot. Without waiting for Li Duoyu to beat him, he climbed out of the wooden basin and ran to the fixed position at the door to stand there as punishment.

He kept saying, "Dad, I am standing here as punishment. Please don't hit me. It hurts when you hit me."

Zhou Xiaoying was both angry and amused, and quickly took a towel to wipe Xiao Tutu's body. After all, summer was about to end, and it would be easy to catch a cold if he was punished by standing with a wet body.

After wiping him, Zhou Xiaoying dressed him in a set of clothes, but the boy actually said, "Dad, can I only stand for half an hour? If I stand for too long, mosquitoes will bite me."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a small problem. I'll light a plate of mosquito coils for you so that you can stand longer."

"Ah~~"

When Xiao Tutu was standing in the corner as punishment, Erbaiwu also ran over and lay down next to it.

Little Tutu couldn't help but kick it: "You are not good either, you have to stand in the corner as well."

The idiot seemed to understand what his young master said. He was actually standing next to him, half squatting and looking straight ahead.

Since Li Duoyu is too busy, he has rarely contacted Erbaiwu recently. I heard from Lao Li that Erbaiwu has recently unlocked a new skill.

This dog is no longer afraid of the sea water. The fishing raft cannot trap it at all. It can go home whenever it wants.

If you are not careful, it will swim back secretly and go to Lao Jin's meat stall to beg for bones to eat.

If it was discovered, it would swim back immediately. But recently it seemed to have a skin disease, so my father shaved its hair, applied some Chinese herbal medicine on it, and kept it at home for a period of time to treat it.

Now it looks very shabby, with half the hair on its body gone. A dog without hair is like a tiger without teeth. It doesn't dare to wander around on the street.

At this moment, the phone on Li Duoyu's side rang. It was a call from the Qixing Bay base.

"I'm Li Duoyu."

Chen Xiaoyan said a little excitedly: "Mr. Li, are you on the island?"

Li Duoyu was stunned. He could already use the word "Second Brother" so it must be on the island: "Yes, it is on the island."

Chen Xiaoyan continued, "It's like this. Manager An has called you at Qixing Bay in the past few days to ask if you have returned."

Li Duoyu was a little surprised. Judging from Chen Xiaoyan's tone, Manager An seemed to be very anxious.

"Manager An, did you tell me why you came to me?"

"Squeak, squeak, rub, rub..."

Chen Xiaoyan's intermittent voice came from the second brother's side.

"Manager An said there was a returned overseas student. I don't know the details. He didn't have one. Sigh..."

"Case..."

"Damn it, I've already washed it, come back soon"

"呲呲."

Chen Xiaoyan was so stunned that she almost cried: "Mr. Li, I didn't say that just now. I don't know where it came from."

With the increasing number of mobile phones, the signal has become very unstable. Since mobile phones use channel calls, it is easy for channels to be crossed.

But he was quite clear about how many mobile phones there were near Dandan Island, and the voice was somewhat familiar to him.

It seems that I can no longer use this thing when discussing important matters in the future, otherwise the company’s important secrets might be eavesdropped on.

At this moment, Li Duoyu wished he had a landline phone so that he could call Manager An.

Manager An has always been a steady person and is seldom called for urgent matters. He just mentioned the returnees.

I guess he was introducing some talents to me. I had previously asked him to help me find a few reliable people to work in the company.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Li Duoyu, who was still in his shorts, simply put on a set of clothes and said to Zhou Xiaoying: "Xiaoying, give me my suit."

Zhou Xiaoying looked puzzled: "You just came back, why are you going out again?"

"Manager An seems to have something urgent to talk to you about. I'll go to Qixing Bay first, and maybe I'll have to go to Rongcheng as well."

After a while, Zhou Xiaoying brought over a suit and said, "I've already ironed it for you. We should sail slowly at night."

Little Tutu, who was still standing in the corner, saw his father pick up the suit again and became anxious. He looked like he was about to cry: "Dad, are you going out again? How long will you be out this time?"

Li Duoyu touched his head and said, "It will be very quick. Dad may be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Humph, you said the same thing last time, but you were lying to me. You were gone for days."

Li Duoyu saw him scratching his ankle, probably because he was bitten by a mosquito, so he patted his butt and said, "Okay, you don't have to stand in the corner, go play."

"I'll stay here for a while. Can you come back earlier?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Got it, sir. I will come back to reunite with you and your son as soon as I finish my work."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help laughing. Then she glanced at Li Duoyu and wanted to tell him: If you are too tired recently, just take a two more days off. There is no need to work so hard.

But as soon as the words came to her lips, she held them back, because all the clothes and pants for Li Duoyu were bought by her.

Recently, she found that her waistline had shrunk a whole circle. She rarely needed to wear a belt before, but now her pants would fall down if she didn't.

Li Duoyu drove the fishing boat directly to Qixing Bay. Chen Xiaoyan was still waiting for him in the office. After meeting, he explained everything again.

"Mr. Li, it's really not me."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I think if you want to tell someone, you will only tell Qingguang, not me."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoyan's face turned red all the way to her neck. Recently, both she and Li Qingguang rarely returned to the island.

After the two of them had "decided to take over", they directly built a staff dormitory here. Speaking of which, Li Qingguang was the youngest because he was the youngest.

They have been living with their uncle until now and do not have their own house. However, these two young people are currently planning to buy a house in the town.

Chen Xiaoyan took out two business cards and said, "Manager An has two phone numbers, one for the company and one for home."

Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, Li Duoyu thought about it and directly called the person at the company.

"Hello, I'm An Yuliang from Minlong Distribution Company."

"it's me."

"Mr. Li, you're back."

Li Duoyu didn't really know An Yuliang very well. He only knew that he seldom went home.

Recently, that loudmouth Zhao Jialu told him a lot about people and things in Rongcheng, including those related to Manager An.

In fact, Manager An's family life was not smooth. Since he was considered to be quite radical, he stood on the wrong side back then.

His wife was afraid of being implicated, so she not only divorced him, but also took the children to report him.

Zhao Jialu also said that Manager An was quite handsome when he was young, but he had a miserable life during that period and ate worse than a pig every day.

Fortunately, it seemed that the old leader of Rongcheng United Distribution Company stepped in and saved him.

From then on, Manager An never wasted food. Later, there were too many drinking parties, and the number of people grew horizontally.

But even though he was betrayed by his wife and daughter, Manager An did not particularly resent them. After all, in that environment, self-protection was the only way out.

His relationship with his daughter is still pretty good now, but after so many years, Manager An has never found a partner and has always been single. His company has introduced him to girls, but he has rejected them all.

"Mr. Li, this is what I mean. I have found a talented person for you. You really need to take the time to meet him."

"When?"

"Are you free tonight?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, they were all serious people, otherwise they might be misunderstood.

An Yuliang said quickly, "It's like this. If you can't confirm Miss Wu's flight tomorrow, she might go abroad."
