Chapter 693 It’s great to be rich! (1/2)

The fourth uncle came back and stayed for only a short time. His small suitcase was filled with gifts for everyone.

There were sorghum wine, mountain tea, and a local dog skin plaster called "Shenlong Yitiaogen".

Before leaving.

He went to the north slope to pay his respects again. Before leaving, he grabbed a handful of soil from his parents' graves and put it in a bottle to take away.

Just as he was leaving, Shitou from the village ran over to ask him if he had any news about his grandpa, since they were from the same village after all.

The fourth uncle only knew now that there were people from the same village in the overseas province.

"If you want to come back this time, you have to register in advance, and there are still many places. If your grandpa wants to come back, he should be back soon."

For these veterans who were deceived to go to the overseas province, the fourth uncle was lucky because he did not start a family in China.

But for Shitou's grandpa and grandma, it was extremely cruel. When Shitou's grandma Ma Xiumei learned that the veterans could return home.

She often sat at the door of her house, looking at the sea, wondering if she was looking forward to something.

But sometimes, life is so unpredictable. Shitou did not wait for his grandfather, and Ma Xiumei did not wait for her first husband, but waited for a letter brought back by other veterans.

When Shitou read the contents of the letter, this serious woman who often sat at the door of her house to mend nets cried for a whole day, and even the neighbors around could hear it.

Shitou's eyes were all red, and his hands holding the letter were completely trembling.

Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying, who learned the specific situation, were also very upset. The water pump that Gao Laohan gave them that year was still there.

Ma Xiumei was found by the two of them after traveling between the two places. They had also seen Gao Laohan's letter to his wife, but things are unpredictable. Gao Laohan never came back after going out to sea to fish.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh, thinking of the old man who kept wandering on the middle line, secretly went up to talk to mainland fishing boats when he saw them, and even chose to believe others after being deceived many times.

"Alas!"

On a large rock extending out, Li Duoyu accompanied Shitou to drink some wine. This young man, who was becoming more and more mature and had more and more beard on his mouth.

He had shed his childish appearance and passed the age of fighting and killing, but after growing up and maturing, Shitou could no longer laugh as heartily as before.

"Brother Yu, I'm really upset. You said, I have made money, but why am I not as happy as before!"

Li Duoyu didn't know how to answer, but a sentence that he often saw in short videos in his previous life ran out of his mind, and he said very deeply:

"The reason why people suffer is because they have been pursuing the wrong things and making wrong choices."

After hearing this, Shitou was silent for a long time, and then he felt that Brother Yu was really awesome, and he helped him solve his doubts with just a casual word.

The reason why her grandma was suffering was because she had been waiting for grandpa, and the reason why he was so miserable was that he was waiting for someone he shouldn't wait for.

Shitou suddenly laughed heartily and said, "Brother Yu, I understand. Thank you for your teaching."

Li Duoyu was quite speechless: "I didn't say anything. Don't blame me later."

"No, Brother Yu."

Mid-December.

After the shanties on the shore of Dandan Island were removed, the work of clamping kelp seedlings came to an end. Some outsiders who came to work as helpers also carried quilts and prepared to take a boat out of the island.

Although everyone was very hard this month, working day and night, and clamping kelp seedlings in the cold wind in the middle of the night.

Many people also got frostbite, but the corresponding remuneration was also full.

The most diligent worker here earned more than 30 big unity in this month.

For the villagers of Dandan Island, more than 30 big unity is not a lot of money, but for ordinary people, more than 30 big unity is really a lot, much higher than the salary of the county magistrate.

And some are couples, who earn nearly half a year's money in one month. It is hard work, but the reward is really high.

Especially the workers who picked up kelp seedlings for Li Duoyu, not only did they eat well, they also had meat for every meal, and when they left, each of them received a red envelope of five yuan.

With this money, they can have a good New Year this year, not only can they change into new clothes, but they can also buy more meat.

Some of the more frugal ones, if they grit their teeth, may be able to afford a TV.

When these workers were leaving, Lao Lu, who lived by the dock, shouted: "Remember to come and collect kelp in May and June."

When these helpers heard the three words "collect kelp", they were so scared that their legs became weak, because they knew very well that collecting kelp was much more tiring than picking up kelp seedlings.

The New Year is coming soon, and the whole Dandan Island is filled with a happy New Year atmosphere, but one person has a dark face throughout the whole process.

Because the second brother secretly subsidized the workers, I don’t know who was the big mouth who poked it out.

Now everyone in the village knows that the workers working on Zhu Xiuhua's 100-acre kelp field are paid at least 10 yuan a day, which can be said to be the highest wage on the island.

A few days ago, Zhu Xiuhua was still showing off how much he spent on his 100-acre kelp field.

Unexpectedly, the slap in the face came so timely. Once the news spread, the second brother Li Yaoguo was so scared that he didn't dare to go home these days and slept directly at the Qixingwan breeding base.

According to Li Haoran, his mother was so angry that she didn't cook these days, and he ate with his grandpa and grandma.

He would grind his teeth in his dreams. One night, he even sat up and gritted his teeth and called his father's name, which scared Li Haoran so much that he had to go to his grandpa's house to sleep.

After something like this happened, Li Duoyu felt a little excited for no reason, as if the familiar second sister-in-law was back.

To be honest, if this person didn't do anything, Li Duoyu would really feel that something was wrong.

In a small house, several members of the Li family gathered together. The second brother Li Yaoguo had a mournful face and wished he could be slapped twice.

"I really deserve it. If I wipe her ass for nothing, I should let her suffer more."

After hearing his complaint, Aniang snorted coldly: "You are too indulgent, that's why she is so unscrupulous. You have been together for so many years, and she still doesn't understand her character. If it didn't make her particularly uncomfortable, she wouldn't be able to do it at all." It won’t last long.”

In the small room, no matter what A Niang said, Li Duoyu nodded frequently: "A Niang is right."

At the end, Chen Huiying said a little angrily: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, so don't make things crazy anymore. In your family, you make the most money, so don't hide every time something happens."

"But she really knows how to hit me!"

Chen Huiying snorted: "In the past, when our family had no money, we just let her dominate. Now that our family is rich, if she dares to hit you, just come to me directly. I won't let her do it now. "

After hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh. The woman in front of her was really different from her previous life.

In her previous life, she had already been smoothed over by the trivial matters at home, and she even deliberately avoided her second sister-in-law.

But now, I still educate him occasionally, and I am very protective of him. Although it is very realistic, it is really the truth. Once a person has money, not only his energy and energy will become better, but his waist will also become straighter.

After the work of collecting kelp seedlings was completed, Li Duoyu, as the village director, was also the first farmer to cultivate kelp.

I took advantage of my free time and stopped by the kelp field to check. Unexpectedly, my uncle Chen Dongqing was also there.

He cursed at a kelp farmer in Chenjia Village and said: "How many times have I told you, your kelp field only has this much, there is no need to be greedy, taking more kelp seedlings will not help you make money, you are screwed now The more intensive it is, the less the harvest will be, and if not, it will all rot.”

"And if you make it so deep, it will rot very quickly if it doesn't get the sun in the winter. Hurry up and add a few more floating balls."

The farmer in Chenjiacun was scolded so much that he nodded repeatedly and did not dare to reply with any nonsense, because Chen Dongqing's current status in the family was very high.

Except for the several presidents of the clan, his words are the most effective next, after all, most people in the village already know.

If this continues, Chen Dongqing will definitely be the director of the Fisheries Research Institute, and he is also Li Duoyu's uncle.

Among them, uncle is the eldest, and the better Li Duoyu does, the higher his status will be.

Seeing Li Duoyu arrive at the kelp field, Chen Dongqing drove over in his boat, jumped onto Li Duoyu's boat, and immediately stretched out two fingers to signal: "Do you have any?"

Li Duoyu looked at him with disgust, took out a bag of imported Wanbao that his fourth uncle had given him from his pocket and threw it to him.

"You are already a leader, why can't you even afford to smoke?"

Chen Dongqing sighed.

“Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.”

Li Duoyu smiled: "My aunt has implemented financial control over you again."

"She's the only one who wants to control me." My uncle sighed, "What I regretted the most was agreeing to let her go to Rongcheng."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked seriously: "Uncle, you won't be cuckolded, will you?"

Chen Dongqing raised his foot and kicked Li Duoyu directly: "Your uncle, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

Chen Dongqing sighed, and then said: "Your aunt has met a bunch of wealthy ladies somewhere. They spend all day either playing mahjong or spending money lavishly."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. This is indeed a bit serious. It is difficult for people to learn well, but it is really fast to learn bad things.

But there were some words that Chen Dongqing didn't say. The woman at home now never said a word about Li Duoyu.

"The one in our house has a lot of fish."

Now every time I go to Rongcheng, I have to report the company's situation to my wife, so that she can become more talkative when she goes out.

After Chen Dongqing smoked a cigarette, he suddenly sighed: "I really envy you for marrying such a good wife."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "That's for sure. My Xiaoying is so sensible and heart-warming. With such a wife, I want to go home and warm her bed every day."

"Fuck, are you disgusting?"

"I just said it to disgust you."

…

The villagers of Xiasha Village did make a lot of money this year, and the village committee conducted rough statistics.

Of course, before counting, Li Duoyu was directly excluded, because if he were included in the statistics, the data would be directly distorted.

But even after deducting Li Duoyu, in 1987, each household in Xiasha Village earned an average of nearly 2,200 yuan, far exceeding the level of all rural areas in the county.

It is even much higher than the city. It can be said to be a veritable rich village.

As for households with 10,000 Yuan, the organization now no longer advocates it, because there are nearly 80 households with 10,000 Yuan in Xiasha Village alone.

If kelp farming goes well next year, it is expected to directly exceed 100. Because there are too many households worth 10,000 yuan in Xiasha Village, the county directly canceled this year’s award ceremony for households worth 10,000 yuan.

As soon as the beautiful data of Xiasha Village was announced, countless matchmakers came to the island during the twelfth lunar month alone.

Now the whole town, including the next town and even the county, want to marry into Xiasha Village.

Especially those who have kelp in their families, in the words of the previous life, they have the priority in choosing a spouse.

During the Chinese New Year period, an unexpected thing happened, that is, the market price of seafood was extremely chaotic.

In the past, it was the Xinyuan Group that was in charge of regulation, but after some things happened, the entire group was now demoralized.

It was even a little out of control, and the fishmongers who were originally suppressed by Chen Yuansu saw an opportunity.

For a while, even Lao Mi became active: "Today is a good price again, hurry up and go fishing, the Spanish mackerel is directly 60 cents, and you will get rich if you catch a net."

"The yellow croaker is already five yuan."

After hearing the price of the yellow croaker, Li Duoyu was really a little dazed. This fish really took only a few years to make his worth nearly ten times.

It seems that the price of the yellow croaker will double every year. By the early 1990s, it was almost 100 yuan.

The seafood price is good, and the fishermen who have just finished the kelp field can't resist the temptation, and they all drive their boats out to cast nets.

The eldest uncle and the third uncle also went out to sea and cast trawls directly. In the past two days, it is absolutely not a problem for fishermen with good luck to earn two or three hundred yuan a day.

The Zhao brothers, Wang Jinshan, Lao Lu and others who have changed their boats are now the main fishing force of Dandan Island. They are all smiling every day.

After returning from fishing every day, they hide at home and secretly count money. The good price of seafood this time also made Lao Mi, the fishmonger, earn a lot of money.

Since listening to Li Duoyu's words, he directly held back this year and did not go to the cold butts of those children.

He directly told those children: This year he will not go to the city to celebrate the New Year. If anyone comes back to celebrate the New Year, he will directly give a TV.

As a result, this trick is really very effective. The daughters-in-law who usually look down on Dandan Island all returned to the island in advance to celebrate the New Year, and they all rushed to wash dishes and clean up the house.

Lao Mi laughed so happily. This year, even if he didn't wash his hands and went to hug the children, his daughters-in-law didn't dare to say anything.

After seeing Li Duoyu, he complained a little: "Duoyu, you should have told me a long time ago that money should be used in this way, which is the most valuable."

Since Dandan Island has become rich, many things have changed. Those who originally came to the island to set up stalls would come almost two days before the New Year.

This year, it was almost a week earlier, and the scale was larger than before. The entire pier was full, and even people from Chenjia Village went to set up stalls. Now everyone knows that Dandan Island is rich, and they are scrambling to sell New Year goods to their village.

The islanders of Dandan Island were also very helpful this time. Those who came to set up stalls found that the goods they brought this year were still not enough to sell.

A stall owner selling braised goods, looking at the stall that was swept away, couldn't help but sigh: "Damn, it's really too rich."

Because not long ago, a villager bought more than 100 yuan of braised goods directly from him.

It's great to be rich! (End of this chapter)
