Chapter 234: The whole village owes him an apology
Chapter 234 The whole village owes him an apology
The news of Dai Laoer's return to the island.
After a while, the news spread throughout the village. After learning that he had returned to the island, everyone was a little at a loss.
In the fight between the two brothers, more than half of the village participated or was forced to participate. Now that I think about it, I feel a little ashamed.
A child asked: "Grandpa, who is this Dai Laoer? Why are everyone so afraid of him?"
Looking at the child's big, pure eyes, the old man didn't know how to answer for a moment, and he didn't want to tell the child what happened that year.
“Dai Laoer, he used to be our primary school teacher on Dandan Island. Everyone, we all did things that were sorry for him.”
The child blinked: "Did you steal the peanuts that others dried? Not long ago, I stole two slices of dried sweet potatoes from Grandma Wang, and now I am also very afraid of her."
The old man suddenly twisted his ears:
“You know you can’t steal things?”
The child retorted: "Didn't you also steal that thing wearing a dick?"
The old man said angrily: "If we just stole his things, how could we be afraid of him? Little brat, just stop asking all day long and apologize to Granny Wang."
“I’m not going.”
“If you don’t go, you won’t have any pocket money this month, and you won’t even be able to eat a piece of candy.”
Under the leadership of Li Duoyu.
Dai Laoer came to their house.
Lao Li, who was resting in the courtyard and listening to the radio, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Dai Laoer.
“Lao Dai, why are you back?”
Dai Laoer said angrily: "It's not like you have a lot of fish in your house. You know that I don't do business with the people on Dandan Island, but you still insist on going to my place to customize a few signboards. After they are done, you don't come to pick them up, so you have to give them to me." He sent it over."
Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, and a Japanese word he often heard when he was a chef in an island country in his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Tired of rubbing”.
"It's good if you are willing to go back to the island. I thought you would never want to come back in this life." Lao Li shouted to Chen Huiying in the room: "Huiying, Lao Dai is back. Cook some dishes for us to go with the wine. I want to follow He had a good drink."
The next second.
Chen Huiying walked out of the room with a small Tutu on her back. When she saw the middle-aged man with gray hair in front of her, she was stunned for a while.
“Lao Dai, it’s really you. We haven’t seen each other for almost ten years.”
Dai Jianguo smiled and said: "Hello, sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I feel that you are still as beautiful as before, and you haven't changed much."
Chen Huiying waved her hand:
“Nothing has changed. She is now an old woman, with more wrinkles on her face than a chayote.”
Seeing the child Chen Huiying was carrying, Dai Jianguo quickly took out a red envelope wrapped in red paper and a pair of silver bracelets from his coat pocket, and stuffed them into the blanket wrapped in little Tutu.
Chen Huiying frowned and said: "Lao Dai, what are you doing? We are very happy that you are willing to return to the island. Why do you want to get a red envelope?"
“It’s just a little care. I didn’t come back even after Duoyu and Xiaoying got married. Besides, I’ve beaten the bracelet, so I can’t retreat.”
Chen Huiying sighed: "Okay, I'll cook some vegetables for you, and you can eat at our place in the evening."
Dai Jianguo quickly refused and said, "Sister-in-law, no need, I'll come back to see you, and then my elder brother, and I'll be leaving soon."
After everyone glanced at the bag of silver paper in Lao Dai's hand, they all understood what he was back for.
“If you don’t stay one night, I’ll go back right away.”
Dai Jianguo nodded.
Lao Li sighed with emotion: "Okay, then we won't embarrass you."
Li Duoyu said:
“Uncle Dai, you haven’t been back to the island for so long, let me go for a walk with you.”
Dai Jianguo thought about it for a while: "Okay, I heard that your boy is doing very well now and is now the village director."
Li Duoyu chuckled: "I'm lucky. No one likes it, so I got a good deal."
“You kid, when did you become so humble? I remember you were such a stinker when you were a kid.”
"People are going to change."
After hearing this, Dai Jianguo suddenly became quiet and suddenly murmured to himself: "People do change, but the past cannot be changed."
After hearing this.
Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. In his previous life, Uncle Dai never returned to Dandan Island until his death. He was not so naive that he could convince the man in front of him to forgive those people back then with his own charm.
Li Duoyu followed him.
Arrived at the end of the village.
I took a look at the stone house where their family originally lived. Unexpectedly, my neighbor Lao Lu used it as a general store, where various fishing nets and firewood were piled up.
Perhaps because he learned that Dai Lao'er was back, Lao Lu immediately started cleaning up Dai Lao'er's house.
I didn’t think about it, so I only cleaned up half of it. Dai Laoer is already here.
Lao Lu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Teacher Dai, when did you come back? I will clean this house for you right away."
Dai Jianguo glanced at the old house. It was empty. Except for some fishing gear and firewood, there was nothing left.
In fact, when he fled the island, their home had already been ransacked, and even the bed was taken away and burned as firewood.
Seeing Lao Lu cleaning up there, Dai Jianguo said calmly: "There's no need to clean up. I'll just take a look and I won't come back in the future."
“Ah, you’re not coming back?”
Dai Jianguo did not answer, but carried his things and walked toward the mountain behind the island.
On the other side of the island, there were many tombs. Dai Jianguo came to several inconspicuous tombs.
That surprised him slightly.
The grave actually has a tombstone.
The surrounding weeds are also very clean. Not long ago, it looked like someone had burned paper money.
“Duoyu, is this what you worship?”
Li Duoyu shook his head: "It's not us who worshiped him."
Dai Jianguo frowned. He probably knew who came to pay homage, so he couldn't help but sigh, and then took out the tributes, silver paper and incense from the bag.
Not a single word of longing was said throughout the whole process.
Even the eyes are not red.
After a brief bow.
Dai Jianguo left the tributes at the tomb, climbed to a high place, took one last look at Dandan Island, and said, "There are many fish, you must have a boat."
"have."
“Then take me back.”
“Won’t you stay one night?”
Dai Jianguo said: "My home is gone, and living like a guest doesn't mean much."
“Then I’ll go back and talk to my parents.”
"No need, if you tell them, they will definitely find ways to keep me here. You can just send me to Qingkou Pier later."
Li Duoyu thought about it.
“Okay, I’ll take you back.”
After the two people went down the mountain.
Li Duoyu looked at the sampan boat and sent Dai Laoer to Qingkou Pier. Before leaving, Dai Jianguo took out a well-preserved photo from his pocket and handed it to Li Duoyu. fish.
“I didn’t see Xiaoying today. Give her this photo. Maybe she needs it more than me.”
Li Duoyu looked very surprised after looking at the photo. He was still very young in the photo, and he had no memory related to the photo.
“Thank you, Uncle Dai, I will bother you often in the future.”
“Don’t come, so you don’t get annoyed by looking at it.”
"How is it possible? My business will only grow bigger and bigger in the future, and I will ask you to customize my signboards."
“You’re getting better and better at bragging, let’s go.”
After Li Duoyu returned home.
Then he handed Zhou Xiaoying the photo Dai Laoer gave him, and when she saw the people in the photo, she was stunned.
“Where did this photo come from?”
“Given by Uncle Dai.”
“Uncle Jianguo, he has returned to the island. Where is he now?”
Li Duoyu nodded: "He has returned to town."
Zhou Xiaoying glanced at the group photo, especially when she saw the two familiar and unfamiliar figures in Ao, her eyes instantly turned red.
More than ten years have passed.
Zhou Xiaoying’s impression of her father and mother has long been vague. She only remembers that her father always liked to wear military green clothes, and her mother had two ponytails and could play the accordion.
Since she can remember, her parents love to laugh and they like to make her happy.
At that time, she liked her father to lift her up the most.
