1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 268: Not a fuel-efficient lamp

Zhu Xiuhua sneered and said: "I thought the salary of the cooks in your factory was so high. It turned out to be only fifty yuan. If you fish a lot, you can earn more than fifty yuan a day."

“Besides, Duoyu is the village director of our Xiasha Village, and he owns a factory. How can he work as a cook in your factory? It’s more like being your leader.”

“Duoyu is the village director?”

Jiang Yuqin was stunned.

Eldest brother Li Jinchuan was also stunned. He always thought that Duoyu was still the same as before, a street kid.

I was quite happy for Xiaoying when I saw him cooking so well just now, thinking that Duoyu had changed his temper and become better behaved.

Li Jinchuan glanced at his sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua, and then at his father and mother-in-law. It seemed that Li Duoyu was really the village director.

 But Li Jinchuan still didn't believe it.

“Duoyu, why are you the village director at such a young age? I see that the village directors in other villages all look very old.”

 “This”

Li Duoyu was about to answer, but his second sister-in-law interrupted him immediately.

“How else can I choose? Of course, the villagers will choose you with your vote and mine with my vote.”

 Seeing the second sister-in-law starting to use the topic, Li Duoyu quickly said:

“Brother, my position as village director was given to me by someone else. It was originally my uncle who wanted to elect me, but I don’t know why I didn’t elect him anymore, so all the votes came to me.”

"So this is ah."

Li Jinchuan smiled, and then looked at Li Yaoguo, his eyes seemed to be questioning:

 Duoyu is doing so well now, why didn’t you tell me?

Li Yaoguo had a wry smile on his face and gestured with his hands, as if to say:

 It’s Duoyu, so I won’t be allowed to talk about it.

Li Jinchuan then asked: "I just heard from my sister-in-law that you seem to have opened a factory in Duoyu?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "There is no factory. I just built a few ponds and raised some eels."

 “Duoyu, you are too modest.”

Seeing Jiang Yuqin deflated, the eldest brother looked surprised. Zhu Xiuhua obviously did not intend to let them go like this.

“Brother, let me tell you, Duoyu is different from before. Now he is the richest in our village.

His eel breeding factory has invested at least more than 40,000 yuan, and there are hundreds of acres of kelp fields and hundreds of acres of oyster fields. Yaoguo and I are now working for him, and our monthly salary is 50 yuan. "

 After hearing this.

 Li Jinchuan’s head was buzzing.

Jiang Yuqin’s face didn’t look very good either.

Coming back this time, they are really trying to make a fool of themselves.

Before the factory was restructured, Li Jinchuan’s real salary was only about 30 yuan. Because of his good skills, after the reorganization, he was highly valued by the new boss.

Now she earns about 60 yuan a month, and as a clerk in a machinery factory, she only earns about 40 yuan a month. Together, the two of them earn about 100 yuan a month.

 Fortunately, her ex-husband, the factory manager, would rather leave home and be with his mistress, so she still has some money in her hands.

This time when she went home, Li Jinchuan's outfit was bought with the property left by her ex-husband.

The leather coat is more than 200 yuan, the leather shoes are more than 60 yuan, the suitcase is more than 100 yuan, the box of deer antlers is more than 80 yuan, the bottle of pearl paste is more than 20 yuan, and the pen is 10 yuan.

What she never expected was that this Li Duoyu looked so young and was not only the village director but also so rich.

Even Li Yaoguo and Zhu Xiuhua, whom she looked down upon, their combined wages were as much as them.

 Jiang Yuqin's face was burning, and for a moment, he felt very embarrassed.

Li Jinchuan regrets it now. If he had known that Duoyu was doing so well and being so rich, he would not have come back wearing this outfit. ,

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Chen Huiying couldn't help but said to Zhu Xiuhua: "You just have to eat well, why are you talking so much?"

Seeing that her mother-in-law only talked about her and not about Jiang Yuqin, Zhu Xiuhua snorted coldly: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, you eat, Haoran and I will eat in the house." When leaving, Zhu Xiuhua took a big iron basin. I packed away a lot of swimming crabs, some lobster meat, and fried tofu fish.

One-third of the food was missing from the Eight Immortals table. Seeing her like this, Chen Huiying was helpless and hurriedly said to her future daughter-in-law: "Yu Qin, her personality is like this. Don't be the same as her."

Jiang Yuqin smiled and said: "No, I have read a book after all, and I won't argue with an illiterate."

Chen Huiying suddenly felt very tired. If she had known better, she would have had more daughters, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

 She originally wanted her family to be reunited and harmonious, but she finally saw it today.

Among her daughters-in-law, except for Xiaoying, who is relatively well-behaved, the other two are not economical. If they were together, the family would be in a state of chaos.

Seeing that his eldest brother and future sister-in-law were not very happy, Li Duoyu quickly took out the blue and red wine that Lao Li had collected.

“Brother, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Let’s have some drinks tonight. This green and red wine is delicious.”

 Hear the words green and red wine.

 Lao Li was stunned for a moment, looked straight at Li Duoyu, and asked, "Did you get this wine from the fishery?"

 Li Duoyu nodded.

 Lao Li's heart is bleeding. It seems that he should hide things better next time.

This green and red wine was originally reserved for Xiaorong when she got married. Since the boss also found a partner, he gave it to them to drink first.

 After the three brothers started drinking.

 The women in the family slowly left the scene. Chen Huiying was afraid that they would catch cold, so she even got them a small stove.

 Under the courtyard lamp.

The three brothers raised their bowls and bumped into each other. Li Duoyu was the first to shout: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, so I'll do it first as a sign of respect."

“You think of your brother as someone who doesn’t exist, right?”

Li Jinchuan then took a sip of the green and red wine in the bowl.

Li Yaoguo, who is not very good at drinking, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, you are bullying me because I don't know how to drink. Even if you die of vomiting tonight, I will get you drunk."

 After three rounds of drinking.

Li Jinchuan couldn't help but scolded Yaoguo: "Duoyu is so good at it. You came to me so many times, but you didn't tell me."

 Li Yaoguo burped: "It's not my fault. Duoyu deliberately didn't let me tell you. I was afraid that you wouldn't want to come back if you knew that Duoyu was doing so well."

Hearing this, Li Jinchuan was silent for a while. Duoyu was really right. If he had known that Duoyu was such a good guy, he might not have come back so early.

Li Jinchuan looked at Li Duoyu and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that among our brothers, the most promising and capable one is you."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's just bad luck. My uncle helped me a lot, so I don't have any skills."

“Shit luck is also a skill.”

Immediately afterwards, Li Jinchuan said seriously: "When I come back this time, I have something to discuss with you."

 Li Yaoguo directly raised his hand in approval: "If that's the case, I support my eldest brother."

Li Jinchuan then approached Li Duoyu's ear, whispered something, and asked: "Duoyu, do you support brother in this matter?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said: "I definitely support it. What age are we in now? Divorce and raising a child are nothing. Not only are they rich, but you also have a daughter for nothing. You will be the winner in life, okay?"

Li Jinchuan looked at Lao Si with doubts, and suddenly felt that what he said seemed to make sense.

He always felt that his father and mother would not agree to his marriage to a woman who had already been married and had children.

 But Li Duoyu said that if the two parties were married, it seemed that he would take advantage.

“Brothers, let’s drink more wine tonight, and I’ll tell my parents to go there tonight.”
