1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 The day the kelp is sold.

 The kelp stored in the brigade's warehouse was sold for one-fifth.

Since there are a lot of retail items, Li Duoyu’s satchel used to collect money was filled to the brim.

After Zhou Xiaoying poured out the money from her bag, her eyes widened. She had never seen so much money in her entire life.

 Inside the bag, there are dozens of large unity sheets.

 Except for the Great Unity, the largest number of “steel workers” were five pieces and “lathe workers” were two pieces.

 Zhou Xiaoying patiently sorted out the money, flattened the folded corners, and counted them twice carefully.

 “A total of one thousand three hundred and forty-six yuan here.”

Li Duoyu feels the same way.

 After all, half the village came to buy it.

 Following that, Li Duoyu also took out the two pieces of kelp money given to him by his neighbor Lao Hu and the fishmonger Mr. Mi.

 Lao Hu is two hundred and seventy.

 Old man Mi, the fishmonger, is three hundred.

 Coupled with the 500 advance from the Fisheries Research Institute, the total kelp sold so far is 2,416 yuan.

 Looking at the money on the table, Zhou Xiaoying was a little helpless. Based on her salary, it would take at least five and a half years to earn this money.

Just now I heard from Duoyu that only one-fifth of the kelp was sold, which means that after all the kelp is sold, it will cost at least 10,000 yuan.

Cultivating kelp this time seems to be more profitable than selling it before.

 I heard from my third uncle that when he used to sell goods, he only made about 10,000 yuan a year.

 Duoyu has only been raising kelp for half a year.

 Just made so much money.

 Zhou Xiaoying still didn't believe it, so she hit her cheek hard with both hands.

"Snapped!"

 It hurts, it really hurts!

Looking at her stupid look, Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh and said: "How about I give you all the money, and you can buy whatever you want."

 Zhou Xiaoying shook her head:

“You can keep it for yourself. Dad said that the typhoon damaged a lot of your fishing rafts and bamboo piles. Next, you should spend a lot of money. My salary is enough for our family to live on.”

Li Duoyu frowned. His wife was usually thrifty and had low consumption.

Even though she is a weakling, she goes to the pier to buy seafood and bargains with others much more harshly than the second sister-in-law.

 She probably saved all the money she gave her.

 You can make money.

 Li Duoyu always thinks about letting her live a good life.

 While sleeping.

Li Duoyu said: "Xiao Chao has already built a new house. How about we also build a new house? Let's see what happens."

Zhou Xiaoying shook her head and said: "It's enough to live in. There's no need to change the house."

“Besides, I quite like living with my parents. We have someone to take care of us. Maybe we can take care of our little Tutu in the future.”

 Li Duoyu was stunned.

Now I have no idea how to reward this silly girl. Unlike in later generations, his son and his salary card were all in the hands of his wife.

Just a few hundred yuan of pocket money every month.

 Seeing that Li Duoyu didn’t reply.

 Zhou Xiaoying turned around, saw the constipated expression on his face, and frowned.

It is true that many people on the island have built new houses, some of which have two floors. Men are all face-conscious.

Having made so much money, would it be too mean to not let him build a house?

“If you really want to build it, then we will build it.”

 Li Duoyu pinched her nose.

“Who just said he didn’t want to be covered up, why did he change his mind?”

 Zhou Xiaoying slapped off his dog's claws: "Don't keep pinching my nose, it's almost broken by you."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Forget it, building a house is too expensive. Let's change the bed. This bed is too small and a bit weak."

Li Duoyu swayed deliberately, and the wooden bed kept making a creaking sound.

Zhou Xiaoying's face turned red instantly and she quickly stopped her: "Don't wander around, you can hear it from the next door."

Li Duoyu smiled: "Then let's change to a two-meter one."

 “What are you doing with such a big bed?”

 Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I heard that the bigger it is, the more stable it is."

 At this time. Xiao Tutu, who was sleeping beside him, woke up and started crying instantly.

Zhou Xiaoying quickly hugged little Tutu and looked at Li Duoyu with a hint of blame: "It's all your fault for wandering around and waking up the child."

Li Duoyu muttered:

"From now on, the number of times I wake him up will only be more, not less. It's better to get used to it as soon as possible."

 Wait for Zhou Xiaoying to put the child to sleep.

 Li Duoyu continued:

“By the way, I have to go to my uncle’s work tomorrow.”

 “Then will you come back tomorrow?”

“It’s not very clear at the moment. If everything is fine, I should be back on the same day.”

 “Okay, I’ll leave some food for you tonight.”

 “But I want to eat it now.”

Zhou Xiaoying looked helpless and whispered: "It's been a bit congested these past two days."

"real?"

 “Well, the one on the left.”

 The next day, it was just dawn.

Li Duoyu's hair was raised and his face was full of exhaustion. He looked at his right hand and found that it was really sore.

 After breakfast.

He and Chen Wenchao took the packed one thousand kilograms of first-class vegetables to the Qingkou Pier on the cousin's larger fishing boat.

 Subsequently, a tractor was hired to take them to the Fisheries Research Institute in the county.

 The tractor has just arrived.

He was stopped by the gatekeeper. When he saw it was Li Duoyu, he immediately changed his face and said with a smile:

 “Xiao Li, why are you coming here when you have time?”

 After meeting the uncle.

Li Duoyu quickly picked up a piece of kelp: "No one has taken any goods recently, and there are no good ones. We can only get some local products from our island."

"That's not possible. I took your cigarettes last time, and I'm still a little embarrassed now. You don't have to do this with me when you come here next time."

 “This is a little bit of my thoughts.”

The uncle sighed: "Okay, this is the last time. Don't do this next time, or I will be scolded by the director."

Li Duoyu smiled and then said, "By the way, is Dongqing here today?"

“He happens to be in the office today, I’ll ask him to go there.”

 Less than three minutes.

Brother-in-law Chen Dongqing ran out in a hurry. When he saw Li Duoyu pulling the kelp over, he asked the uncle to open the door.

 Immediately afterwards, I asked the tractor master to drive the truck to the warehouse of the institute, and then unloaded the kelp.

At this time, Section Chief Zhang also came over. He looked at this batch of dried kelp and was very satisfied:

 “You’re a good boy. You also know how to trim the edges and pack the kelp so beautifully.”

 Li Duoyu smiled and said: “Customers come first.”

“It’s a good idea to put the customer first. If you don’t do business, you’re really overqualified for breeding.”

 “Isn’t there no chance?”

"Hahaha."

 After everyone chatted for a while.

Chen Dongqing said: "Duoyu, the section chief and I will go to the director's office to report first. Don't leave in a hurry. Follow Xiaochao to the reception room and wait for me. I will discuss something with you later."

"Um."

This time, Li Duoyu didn't need his uncle to take him with him. Li Duoyu came to the reception room like last time with ease.

 Not much has changed.

 It is the wall of honor, with several newspapers and group photos.

 Among the newly published newspapers, there are two reports related to him.

In the photo of the senior leaders on Dandan Island, Chen Wenchao looked at a figure not far away and said in surprise: "Brother Yu, I seem to be included in the photo."

 At this time.

 A new guest came to the reception room. The deputy director of the institute took the guest to visit.

Those guests are in suits and ties.

Speaking a very awkward Hong Kong dialect, with a few words in English mixed in from time to time, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

 Although late, we arrived.

I’ve revised this chapter many times, but it’s all messed up. Let’s leave it like this for now!
