1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 74 The kelp rope was cut

 Li Duoyu waited until midnight.

There are still many people at the train station. Those who are carrying quilts and waiting in line to buy tickets simply open their quilts and lie down on chairs to sleep.

 Some people secretly made a fire in the square and warmed themselves up there.

Li Duoyu, who had been waiting for almost ten hours, squatted in a corner and kept blowing air into his hands that were shaking with cold.

Looks like you're out of luck this time.

 The train was very late.

 It was almost midnight.

Li Duoyu finally heard the announcement from the train station.

“Notice that the train from Shanghai to Rongcheng will arrive at the station soon.”

 After hearing this sound.

Li Duoyu quickly stood up and walked towards the exit of the station.

Not long after, a large group of people walked out of the train station, and Li Duoyu was also in the crowd, and found a young girl wearing jeans and carrying a big cloth bag.

 The girl also saw Li Duoyu and waved quickly.

 “Brother, I’m here.”

Li Duoyu stepped forward, took the cloth bag, and then looked at his little sister. He didn't expect that Xiao Heitan looked so good-looking now.

 In his previous life, after he was imprisoned.

 When I saw my little sister again, it was already thirty years later. By then, she was already a grandmother.

 “Okay, she’s become a lot prettier.”

“That’s just because I didn’t know how to dress up before. Your sister and I are actually naturally beautiful.”

"No matter how beautiful you are, you are not as good-looking as your sister-in-law."

“Li Duoyu, you can’t praise me and be nice to me.”

 “Then let me introduce you to a blind date.”

 “That’s better forget it.”

Perhaps because he didn't sleep much on the train, Li Xiaorong's face looked bad and he felt a little unsteady when he walked.

But it is now midnight, and the bus to Lianjiang County has stopped long ago, so we can only spend the night in Rongcheng tonight.

Within a few meters of walking out of the square, the two of them arrived at the hotel street of the train station.

 This street is mostly composed of two or three-story self-built brick houses, with the names of various hotels hanging on the walls.

At the entrance of each alley there were several brokers who were looking for accommodation for tourists. When a sharp-eyed aunt saw them, she immediately came up to them.

 “Double room, only five yuan.”

 “There is hot water provided so you can take a bath.”

Li Xiaorong, who had not taken a shower for three days, was a little excited when he heard that he could take a shower, but when he thought about five yuan a night, he still felt that it was expensive.

She said to Li Duoyu: "How about we go find my eldest brother and spend the night there. I haven't seen him for a long time and I really miss him."

 Li Duoyu shook his head and refused.

 “Just one night, just deal with it.”

Although he knows where his eldest brother lives and where he works, his eldest brother is most afraid of family members coming to visit him.

 One reason is that I ran away in anger at the beginning, and the main reason was that I didn’t do well enough.

  Thirty years old, still single, not assigned a room, sharing the same dormitory with coworkers.

 In this day and age, it is a symbol of worthlessness, the sewer in the dating world.

It's also because I'm not doing well. I haven't come back for the New Year in the past few years. I will go to see him at the end of the year just to cause trouble for him.

 After walking two to three hundred meters, Li Duoyu found a hotel that was relatively clean and relatively expensive.

Originally, she wanted two rooms, but Li Xiaorong felt it was unnecessary, so she finally asked for a twin room.

 Fortunately, the two of them are brother and sister, so there is not much of a problem. They just need to avoid each other when they take a shower and wipe themselves.

Li Xiaorong, who had not slept well for three days, fell asleep within a few minutes of lying on the bed after dinner.

 I didn’t sleep for a while, and I started snoring very loudly. the next day.

Li Duoyu, who had panda eyes, looked at the refreshed little girl with a bit of resentment.

By the time they returned to Dandan Island, it was already noon that day.

The ladies who were weaving nets at the dock greeted Li Xiaorong one after another.

  She is the fifth college student on the island, but she has the highest score in the college entrance examination and the best university she attended.

“Xiao Rong is on vacation. After studying for so many years, she will graduate soon.”

 “It’s almost time, I’ll graduate next semester.”

 “You can get married after graduation.”

“Why are you so anxious? I haven’t found anyone yet. Auntie, do you want to introduce me to someone?”

 “You, a college student, can’t afford to introduce me.”

 After hearing this, everyone laughed.

 Zhang Defa, who runs a clinic near the pier, was in a daze for a while when he saw Li Xiaorong.

Looking at his former high school classmate, he couldn't help but sigh. When he was young, he didn't have an object of admiration, but the girl in front of him had become too dazzling.

 After returning home.

With slightly red eyes, Chen Huiying grabbed Li Xiaorong's shoulders, looked around, and finally said: "She seems to have lost a lot of weight."

Li Xiaorong smiled and said: "Mom, my waist is as thick as a bucket. I have lost some weight. If I get fatter, I can't even put on my pants."

Chen Huiying said slightly reproachfully: "If the buckets are so small, how long will it take for everyone to fetch a tank of water?"

 “By the way, where is my dad?”

Chen Huiying sighed and said: "You two didn't come back last night. Your father didn't sleep all night. Today, before dawn, he went to work in the oyster field. He should be back soon."

 “The train is late, there’s nothing we can do.”

After finishing speaking, Li Xiaorong put down his luggage, hugged Zhou Xiaoying’s belly and listened, and then said in surprise:

 “This boy rebelled and dared to kick my aunt.”

 Zhou Xiaoying replied with a smile: "I've been very naughty recently, always kicking people."

 As soon as Li Xiaorong came back, the whole family immediately became lively.

 Not long after.

His father also came back, and his eldest cousin Li Shuguang came back with him. After seeing Li Xiaorong, his cousin was also very happy.

However, it hasn’t been a while yet.

 The expressions of the two of them became serious. Three men were sitting in the same room.

Lao Li said: "Just now your cousin said that when the boat passed by our kelp field this morning, he found that something seemed wrong in the kelp field."

Li Shuguang nodded: "Your kelp field used to be straight, but today it looks crooked and not as straight as before."

Although the cousin's words were very cryptic, Li Duoyu still understood it. With the relationship between his two families, his cousin would definitely go over and take a look when he found something was wrong in the kelp field.

 If it is just to pull out piles, there is no need to be so secretive. If it is not to pull out piles, there is only one possibility.

 “Has the kelp rope been cut?”

 Li Shuguang nodded:

 “Fortunately, not many were cut, just about twenty.”

 After learning the news, Li Duoyu picked up a large handful of brown rope on the spot, took Lao Li and his cousin, and sailed to the kelp field to have a look.

 And the way they were in a hurry made the three women at home very worried, thinking that something must have happened.

“Mom, I’ll go take a look too.”

Li Xiaorong finished speaking and was about to ride the 28-inch bike when Chen Huiying said calmly:

"Outside matters can be left to men to handle. If your father and brother didn't tell us, that means there is no need for us to participate."

“Also, you are studying medicine. When you come back, don’t run around and spend time with your sister-in-law. Do you know?”
