Chapter 34: The Old Lady

In this era, for rural areas without mobile phones and televisions, the National Day has not changed much.

Everyone still does what they should do.

At most, the production team repainted the slogans on the walls and stones on Dandan Island.

......

And Li Duoyu, who always wanted to do something on National Day, wandered around the village aimlessly, and there were still people on the dock who went to sea, but not many.

Several elderly uncles and aunts sold scraps there, that is, miscellaneous fish, and baskets were piled there, and only two cents per catty.

After hearing this price.

Li Duoyu was stunned for a while, and he found that he had a familiar but very unfamiliar feeling about the unit of "Fen".

What is familiar is that the rocking machine that the children in the shopping mall in the future will pop up from time to time: I picked up a penny on the side of the road...... This nursery rhyme.

Strangely, after he returned from the island country, he had never seen this aluminum-magnesium alloy coin with two ears of wheat printed on the market.

Now that I think about it, I find that in this era, two cents can still buy a lot of things.

For example, a box of matches.

Half a fritter or half a steamed bun.

Two colored candy balls or orange petals, and for three cents, you can buy an old popsicle.

There are two restaurants near the pier, and some of them sell Rongcheng beer, but the best-selling thing is the game that the owner buys from the mountains at a large price.

What porcupine, pangolin, roe deer meat, and occasionally dog meat.

Mountain people want to eat seafood.

And the people of the seaside also want to eat mountain delicacies.

Li Duoyu walked around the village.

I didn't expect to come to the vicinity of the third uncle's house, the third uncle at this time was relatively wealthy in the village, and the courtyard not only had walls and iron gates, but also built a two-story brick house.

When Li Duoyu came to their house, he found that the iron door of their house was locked, and a martial arts scene was being staged.

The third uncle, Li Zhengfa, held a flat pole in his hand, chased and beat his cousin Li Yujun, who was just twenty years old, in the courtyard.

And the third aunt dissuaded on the side: "If you beat him, just take a stick, take a flat burden, if you beat him like this, you will really kill people." ”

"You go away for me, or I'll beat you together."

Li Yujun scurried upstairs and downstairs, and said as he ran:

"No, I will lose more than 1,000 to you, our ship is big, and I will earn back the goods, and I will also help with the goods, so more than 1,000 will be my head office."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu finally knew the reason why his cousin was repaired.

Over the years, some fishermen on Dandan Island have made a lot of money because of the goods, and many fishermen have stopped working and are waiting for news from the big ship every day.

When the big boat didn't come, they got together to play cards, mahjong, and fried golden flowers, and they all played quite big.

And like Li Yujun, for that group of gamblers, it is a first-class sweetheart.

When this group of younger brothers saw him on the island, they would often hand him a cigarette first, take a sip of a military brother, and when they praised him almost, they would pull him to play big.

Remember, it's not the first time Li Yujun has lost so much money, and his gambling problem doesn't seem to have changed.

Even after arriving in the beautiful country, he still mixed with a group of gamblers, and as soon as he made money, he couldn't help but send it to other people's pants pockets.

Seeing that Li Yujun dared to fight back, the third uncle blew up on the spot, chasing and scolding:

"It's all going on, you still want to go to the goods, it's because you think your life is too good, you want to eat and go to prison, don't you, you look at the fish of the second uncle's family, people are more obedient than the Gu family now, and all the money you earn is invested in kelp."

"If you have money or not, that's stupid, and you let me learn from him, and when the kelp is all dead, you will know who is smart."

"Even if the kelp is all dead, it's better than you gambling."

The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched outside the wall, and finally realized the helplessness of "other people's children", no wonder Xueba is lonely, because he is always inexplicably made enemies by all kinds.

The wall of the third uncle's house is not high, Li Yujun wants to run, he can run completely, the reason why he doesn't run is very simple, he wants the boat key.

"Daddy, if you really don't take the goods, give me the key to the boat, and in two days I will go with Agui and them, and when I make enough money, I will move to the town to live."

Hearing that he not only wanted the keys to the boat, but also moved out to live after earning money, the third uncle was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he raised his flat shoulder high:

"I'll kill you today as a coffin Jane, and I don't know who gave birth to the seed, how did you give birth to this demon show."

Seeing that Li Zhengfa was really going to fight, the third aunt was also frightened, and hurriedly said, "It's not your own species." ”

At this time, an old lady wearing a blue cloth dress from the late Qing Dynasty, wearing a black forehead, and wrapped her small feet, walked out of the hall with a cane.

When Li Yujun saw the old lady, it was like seeing a savior, and the whole person rushed behind her: "Grandma, your son beat your precious grandson." ”

The old lady turned around and slapped him lightly on the head: "You are not a good thing, you have lost so much money in gambling, and you deserve to be beaten." ”

After finishing speaking, the old lady glared at the third uncle: "Why are you lifting so high, even I want to fight." ”

When the third uncle saw his mother on crutches come out, he sighed and put down the flat burden, he felt that the child was spoiled by his grandmother.

"Mother, Yujun is so old, why are you still so protective of him, how can you let me teach my children."

The old lady replied:

"You used to be worse than the Jade Army, I didn't beat you, you have something to say, don't take a flat shoulder at every turn."

"That's it." Li Yujun kept echoing.

Seeing that he was being protected by someone and becoming more arrogant, Li Zheng's angry chest rose and fell, and he couldn't help but pick up the flat burden he had just put down.

And the third aunt saw that the smell of gunpowder was coming up again, so she hurriedly came over and twisted Li Yujun's ears:

"Have you been too timid lately, how dare you contradict your father, don't think about the key yet, hurry up and let me calm down for a few days."

Under the protection of two women.

Li Yujun fled.

But after opening the iron door and seeing Li Duoyu standing outside the door, Li Yujun was stunned for a moment, did not say hello, and left directly.

Li Yujun used to admire this cousin very much, and often followed behind his ass, but now he doesn't know how to talk to him.

After the third uncle Li Zhengfa saw Duoyu, his bitter face became a little clearer:

"Duoyu, when did you come, let you see the joke again, hurry up and come in and sit, there is just something to look for you."

When the old lady saw Duoyu, she did not appear very happy, but did not say anything, and turned back to her cabin.

As for her reaction, Li Duoyu didn't show much surprise, on the contrary, she felt normal.

Because of grandma and their family, some unpleasant things happened.

Later, Li Duoyu went to find out.

In the early years, Xiasha Village and Chenjia Village often had "social fighting", that is, arms fights between the two villages, because of the land boundary and the sea boundary.

At that time, Li Duoyu had a very young fifth uncle, because he was too strong-blooded, as soon as others agitated, he rushed to the front, and as a result, he was directly defeated.

And Li Duoyu's mother Chen Huiying is from Chenjia Village, at that time, the marriage between the two of them was not blessed, but was blocked by many people.

And the biggest resistance is this old lady with her little feet, after Lao Li decided to be with Chen Huiying.

The old lady broke off the mother-son relationship on the spot, and after that, she didn't say a word.

And all the family resources, Yuan Datou and a few pieces of "little yellow croaker" that she secretly hid, were all distributed to the uncle and the third uncle, which is also the fundamental reason why the third uncle was able to make a fortune so quickly in the early days of the goods.

As for why Grandma has so much money, Li Duoyu doesn't know, it may be related to his grandfather who left very early, I heard that he used to run a chamber of commerce in Rongcheng.

Later, when he beat the landlord, he ran away by boat.
