1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 32 Completed

 (The previous chapter was too difficult. I went in and out four times, but finally got out.)

 After leaving the conference.

Zhou Xiaoying’s right hand kept grabbing the corner of her clothes. She didn’t understand why she had been so nervous and scared after watching this conference.

 Luckily, Li Duoyu is out of stock.

 Otherwise, she always felt that he might be the one standing on top to be judged today.

 Zhou Xiaoying was silent all the way.

Li Duoyu also discovered something strange about her. He still knew the person he had grown up with since childhood.

 Because of the loss of his father and mother at a young age.

Zhou Xiaoying is a very insecure person. When thinking about things, she always thinks about the bad things first.

 Once she keeps moving her fingers and grabbing at the corners of her clothes, it means she is nervous and scared.

Li Duoyu consoled him:

“It’s not your husband who’s been sentenced, so why are you so nervous?”

Zhou Xiaoying looked aggrieved:

"But I'm just scared. Every time you went to sea before, I was always worried that you would be caught. If that happened, our child would not be able to see his father when he was born."

 Li Duoyu held her hand tightly.

“I don’t want to sell anything anymore, so don’t worry about it. The most important thing now is to eat well and take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly, don’t you know.”

"knew."

Zhou Xiaoying relaxed and then asked: "Did you have a conflict with Agui? Why didn't you say hello when you met just now?"

 “Well, we broke up.”

Zhou Xiaoying was a little surprised:

"You and Agui have been playing together since childhood, so why did you fall out?"

Li Duoyu said seriously:

“He won’t let me sleep with you at night, and always asks me to go to sea. If I don’t say goodbye to him, who will I say goodbye to?”

Zhou Xiaoying snorted: "I believe you, you are not quarreling."

 “Come home with me and I’ll tell you why.”

 After saying that, Li Duoyu took Zhou Xiaoying's hand, returned to his small stone house, closed the door, and bolted the door.

 Seeing him closing the door in broad daylight, Zhou Xiaoying felt something was wrong:

“You’re going to have to drive piles with those masters tomorrow. Why don’t you have a good rest today?”

Li Duoyu grinned with evil intentions:

“Who says I don’t have to drive piles today? Even if I’m not at sea, I can still drive piles.”

 After saying that, he pulled Zhou Xiaoying to the bedside.

Zhou Xiaoying exclaimed and quickly moved her mother out as a shield: "If you really do this, my mother will scold me to death."

Li Duoyu hummed twice:

“It’s okay to bully me for not reading many books. It’s really not okay for the first three months and the second three months, but it’s okay for the middle four or five or six months.”

Zhou Xiaoying looked stunned.

 “Who did you listen to?”

Li Duoyu casually made up a reason: "I was drinking with my uncle some time ago. This top student told me based on his practical experience."

“But if you do that, you will still get hit in the stomach.”

Li Duoyu, who had been holding back for many years in his previous life, hurriedly unbuttoned his belt and said, "Then just turn around and that's all."

Zhou Xiaoying had no words to retort. Although she was reluctant, she turned around just as she was mentally prepared.

 There was a sudden knock on the door.

Li Haoran shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle, are you here? Grandpa said that the piling master and uncle are already waiting for you at the dock, asking you to hurry over."

Li Duoyu had no intention of replying to Pang Dun's words, and planned to get down to business first.

Zhou Xiaoying, who met the savior, sat up and replied: "I know, go and tell your grandpa, your Uncle Duoyu will be there right away."

 “Okay, Auntie, I’ll go tell Grandpa.”

Li Duoyu, who was just taking off his pants, looked at Zhou Xiaoying, who had already put on clothes and sat up, and his teeth itched with anger:

 “Just wait for me, and sooner or later the old and new scores will be settled together.”

Zhou Xiaoying blushed:

"That will have to wait until our children come out."

After going out, Li Duoyu looked at the little chubby boy jumping up and down not far away, and suddenly felt a little displeased with him.

 Li Duoyu feels that students are too busy now, so he wants to give him a complete childhood.

 Li Duoyu decided to go to the bookstore in town next time and buy him a copy of the exercise books for all the courses from grades three to six.

 On the way to the dock.

Li Duoyu found that everyone who participated in the conference had dispersed and returned to their respective posts. There were already many people at the dock, and some fishing boats were also leaving the port.

The piling masters and his uncle Chen Dongqing were already waiting for him at the dock. After seeing Li Duoyu, his uncle hurriedly directed the piling masters to carry the wooden piles and kelp ropes.

Li Duoyu knew why his uncle was anxious. He had been out for several days. These days, he did not go back to the county town, but stayed on the island.

The research institute was very easy to handle. They knew that he went out to teach kelp farming techniques and help build kelp farming rafts, but it was not even late to praise him.

 But at home, it’s not easy to explain. His children are still young and need someone to take care of them.

 Actually, Li Duoyu had already persuaded his uncle several times that he could go back to the county town to be with his wife instead of working on the project, but he always refused.

This kelp farming experiment is too important to him. It is his only chance to turn around. If he fails again, the institute may not reuse him again, and his reputation on Dandan Island will be completely ruined.

 Subsequently, the sound of pile-driving bugles sounded.

 Piles were inserted into the seabed.

On the eighth day of piling, which is the day before National Day, the piling project of thirty acres of kelp was finally completed.

 All the piling masters were lying on the deck of the ship, unable to move, as tired as dogs.

 Li Duoyu looked at the continuous kelp farming rafts in front of him and the floating **** that undulated with the waves, giving him the illusion that he had returned to 40 years in the future.

 She immediately shook her head.

Looking at the dozen or so wooden piles left on the boat, Li Duoyu felt that kelp farming still lacked a very important thing, so he said to Master Zhang: "Old Zhang, just beat up all the remaining ones."

Lao Zhang, who was sitting and smoking, said: "No problem, where else do you want to hit?"

 Li Duoyu pointed to the side of the breeding raft.

“Tie these four corners, three sticks in each corner.”

After hearing this, Chen Dongqing, who was lying on the board of the boat, sat up in surprise:

“Duoyu, are you planning to build a floating house here?”

 Li Duoyu nodded.

“Yes, I really want to build one so that I can manage the kelp more easily. If the weather is nice, I don’t have to run around so much.”

 “Who did you hear this from?”

 Chen Dongqing can’t believe that no one in Lianjiang County has ever built this kind of floating house on the sea.

 How did Li Duoyu come up with the idea?

Li Duoyu said nonsense seriously:

"I wasn't waiting for you in the office that day. I looked at some of the exhibitions of your achievements on the wall and flipped through the magazines on the shelf. I happened to see that the magazine "Fishery Modernization" talked about how to raise kelp and this, so I gave it a try."

 Chen Dongqing looked up at the sky.

 There is an inexplicable feeling of frustration.

There are indeed many magazines placed in the reception room, but they are relatively professional. How could he, a person who has only graduated from junior high school, understand them?

 He really wanted to know how much Li Duoyu learned in less than two hours in the reception room of their institute that day?
