1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Hasty, too hasty.

Li Duoyu returned to Dandan Island in 1983 without making any preparations.

I remember that not long ago, he was working on the kelp farming raft. Suddenly his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he came here.

Stone house and low house.

In front of me is a blue sea.

There are seagulls circling in the sky.

There are not many fishing boats on the pier. Most of them are small fishing boats, and there are also a few large motor sailing boats.

After Li Duoyu returned to the house, he found that everything was so familiar, but he didn't recognize it. The person in the mirror with an afro, wearing a floral shirt and bell-bottom pants, was himself.

Li Duoyu didn't care how good-looking the young man in the mirror was, but just stared at the thick hair the whole time, smiling like an uncle.

"You are finally back."

At this moment, an urging voice came from the door.

"Hurry up, why don't you look in the mirror? The big ships are coming. We have to go early, otherwise it will be late and the good goods will be robbed by those grandsons again."

After looking closely at the dark face at the door, the dead memories in Li Duo's mind kept coming towards him.

Early 1980s.

The open spring breeze blows all over the land, and opportunities are everywhere. For fishermen on the southern coast, doing one thing will make you rich.

That is taking goods (zou, si).

At that time, in order to protect local companies, import taxes were generally above 80%, and for cars it was as high as 220%.

High taxes mean opportunities. In the early days of opening up, there were often "big ships" parked on the sea in my country's overseas provinces, selling various advanced electronic products, cloth, etc.

Dandan Island is a small island under the jurisdiction of Shangfeng Town. It is the nearest island to Waihai Province, only more than 20 kilometers away.

Every time a big ship comes, the fishing boats parked in the port rush out towards the deep sea like a competition.

These boats are not out to sea for fishing, but to purchase goods.

The past few years have been the craziest years for the fishermen in Shangfeng Town, and everyone is red-eyed.

Farmers have land but don't cultivate it, fishermen have boats but don't catch fish, and workers quit their jobs and go to sea. Everyone who has a boat has started a smuggling business, and all kinds of imported goods are sold in the streets and alleys of the town.

The big ones include: imported cars, motorcycles, refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, and sewing machines.

Small ones include: watches, radios, dual-purpose machines, three-purpose machines, tapes and various styles of beautiful cloth.

The variety of products sold was more dazzling than the department stores of the time.

According to statistics, during the peak period of Shangfeng Town's sales, more than 3,000 foreign vehicles came to the town to purchase goods in a day. This kind of imported goods was placed in every fisherman's home in the streets and alleys.

Such a prosperous scene once made Shangfeng Town known as the "Little Hong Kong Island".

But these have nothing to do with Li Duoyu. In that great era, not only did he fail to get rich, but he became a prisoner for speculating because of smuggling goods.

And the turning point is today.

September 17, 1983.

On this night in the previous life, he and Agui carried a lot of Yuan Datou and drove a small motorboat to buy goods. As soon as they went out to sea, they ran into an anti-smuggling ship and came to investigate.

Fearing that their Yuan Datou would be confiscated, the two people hurriedly chose to jump ship.

At that time, currencies were blocked between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and goods were usually settled in Yuan Datou. According to the price at that time, the purchase price of a Yuan Datou was 20 yuan, which was almost more than half a month's salary of an ordinary worker.

After jumping off the ship that night, Li Duoyu got up.

But Agui and his two hundred Yuan Datou disappeared into the dark sea.

After finding dawn, Li Duoyu returned to Dandan Island in despair, told his family about Agui's disappearance, and gave half of Yuan Datou in his hand to Agui's family.

Instead of being forgiven, Agui's wife framed him for plotting against Yuan Datou, who was in Agui's body, and killed him on the ship.

At the end of the dispute, Agui's family reported him to the illicit bureau.

At that time, the anti-smuggling office happened to be cracking down on typical cases. Li Duoyu, who was caught in the crossfire, became a representative of anti-smuggling and speculation, and was sentenced to five years in prison.

Even when his wife had a difficult delivery, he wasn't around. It would be a lie to say he didn't hate her, but he hated himself the most.

"Agui, I'm not going to take away the goods tonight."

After hearing this, Agui thought Li Duoyu was joking:

"I've calculated it. As long as we finish tonight's job, each of us can get six hundred yuan. Six hundred yuan, which is your wife's salary for two years of teaching. Why don't you just earn money from the sky?"

Although he had grudges against Agui's family, they were brothers who grew up playing together, so Li Duoyu casually made up an excuse.

"Listen to me. Isn't my uncle at the Fisheries Research Institute in the county? He told me privately that an anti-smuggling boat will come out tonight."

"It's not just about catching smuggling boats. We're afraid of a hammer. Wealth can only be gained through danger. Besides, there are so many boats in the sea that they won't necessarily catch us."

Li Duoyu understood that it would be difficult to persuade Agui. If he didn't have memories of his past life, he would be faced with such huge profits of earning two or three years of other people's salary in one trip.

I'm afraid that even if a typhoon comes, it won't be able to stop it.

Li Duoyu said with a serious face: "I have to go, but I won't go again anyway."

Seeing that Li Duoyu didn't look like he was joking, Agui's face turned pale:

"Duoyu, I said this today because you didn't want to go by yourself. Don't blame your brother for not taking you next time."

Seeing that Li Duoyu was still unmoved, Agui was so angry that he laughed and cursed and walked towards the port.

"If you don't make money, your head will be broken."

Li Duoyu looked at his back, hoping that in this life, Agui would not jump into the sea again after being caught by the crackdown on private schools, because he was really bad at swimming.

Li Duoyu glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was past four in the afternoon.

Zhou Xiaoying should be finishing her get out of class soon. After returning to 1983, the person Li Duoyu wanted to see most was his wife.

He looked at the big hair in his glasses again. The more Li Duoyu looked at him, the more unhappy he became. He put on a red star hat. It was this green that made him feel a little awkward.

Li Duoyu stepped on the 28-bar bicycle at the door, but before he pedaled twice, he broke his knee due to unstable center of gravity.

He had just changed from an uncle to a young man with agile legs and feet. It felt like he needed to adapt for a while.

Dandan Island Primary School was on the other side of the island, one kilometer away from his home.

When Li Duoyu rushed to the school, the school bell rang. In an instant, countless students carrying military green schoolbags swarmed out.

The 1980s was an era of population explosion. There were a lot of children on the island. Although they were not rich, the smiles on their faces were very bright.

Just as Li Duoyu was looking for a familiar figure in the crowd, a little fat boy walked straight towards him and smiled innocently:

"Uncle, why are you in school?"

Seeing the little fat boy calling him uncle, Li Duoyu remembered that the little fat boy was the child of his second brother, named Li Haoran.

Li Duoyu touched Li Haoran's head.

"Did you make your aunt angry?"

The little fat boy grinned with two missing front teeth and said:

"Aunt is my class teacher now. It's good that she didn't beat me. How dare I make her angry."

"Okay, go home quickly. Don't just play all day. Study hard, okay?"

After hearing this, the little fat boy widened his eyes and looked at his uncle in confusion, feeling that his uncle was a little wrong today.

Uncle was not like this before. He often said that studying was useless. After graduation, at most, he would earn a salary of dozens of yuan a month. He could earn several years of college student salary in one trip. .

"Ah"

The little fat boy sighed, as expected, adults' words are not accurate.

Just like his father, he said he would take him to the city zoo last week, but on the weekend, he immediately said that he had eaten too much seafood and his legs hurt so he couldn't go.

After most of the students left.

A female teacher with simple clothes and ponytail appeared in Li Duoyu's sight.

She wore a white shirt on the upper body and a black long skirt on the lower body, with a slightly bulging abdomen.

When she walked, she held a small cloth bag in one hand and supported her waist with the other hand. Obviously, the extra pounds of meat made her waist a little bit uncomfortable.

When Zhou Xiaoying saw Li Duoyu, she was stunned for several seconds. She never dreamed that this man would come to the school gate to pick her up.

"Did something happen at home?"

Li Duoyu grinned:

"No, I just miss you a little."

Such a straightforward answer made Zhou Xiaoying a little at a loss. A few colleagues happened to pass by and heard the words, which made her blush to the root of her neck.

"Let's go. We'll talk about it when we get home."

The two walked along the dirt road in the countryside. The scenery was really beautiful. There was a small beach. After school, many students played there.

Looking into the distance, the place where the sky and the sea connected became a white line.

The wind blew her hair, and the bow tied with a white handkerchief looked particularly beautiful.

When they arrived at home, Zhou Xiaoying, who was really suffocating, couldn't help but say first: "Tell me, what happened."

Li Duoyu looked at his beautiful wife and kept smiling foolishly.

Zhou Xiaoying subconsciously touched Li Duoyu's forehead, and then touched her own.

No, it's not a fever!

How did the brain break? Zhou Xiaoying looked up and down and found that Li Duoyu's pants had several holes, and when she saw him at the school gate just now, his eyes seemed red.

Past experience told her.

Li Duoyu must have gotten into trouble again.
