The news of Dai Lao's second return to the island.

After a while, it spread throughout the village, and everyone was a little overwhelmed when they learned that he had returned to the island.

Back then, when the two brothers were fighting, more than half of the village participated or were forced to participate, and now I think about it is really a little ashamed.

A child asked, "Ah Gong, who is this Dai Er, and why is everyone so afraid of him." ”

Looking at the child's big pure eyes, the old man didn't know how to answer for a while, and he didn't want to tell the child about what happened back then.

"Dai Er, I used to be a primary school teacher on our Dandan Island, and everyone has done something sorry for him."

The child blinked: "Did you steal the peanuts that others dried, not long ago, after stealing two pieces of dried sweet potatoes from Wang Po, I am also afraid of her now." ”

The old man screwed his ears violently:

"You can't steal anything, you know?"

The child retorted, "Didn't you also steal that Dai Er's thing." ”

The old man said angrily: "If we just steal from him, how can we be afraid of him, little boy, don't ask all day long, and apologize to the princess." ”

"I'm not going."

"If you don't go, you won't have any pocket money this month, and you won't want to eat a single candy."

Under the leadership of Li Duoyu.

Dai Lao Er came to their house.

Lao Li, who was resting in the courtyard and listening to the radio, couldn't believe his eyes at all after seeing Dai Lao'er.

"Lao Dai, why are you back?"

Dai Lao Er said angrily: "It's not that your family has many fish, knowing that I don't do business with the people of Dandan Island, you still have to go to me to customize a few signboards, and after you do it, you don't come to get it, so you have to send it to him." ”

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, and a Japanese word that he had often heard when he was a chef in an island country in his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Tired of rubbing".

"It's good to be willing to go back to the island, I thought you didn't want to come back in your life." Lao Li shouted to Chen Huiying in the room: "Huiying, Lao Dai is back, fry us a few snacks, I want to have a few drinks with him." ”

The next second.

Chen Huiying, who was carrying a small tutu on her back, walked out of the room, and was stunned for a while after seeing the middle-aged man with gray temples in front of her.

"Lao Dai, it's really you, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

Dai Jianguo smiled: "Hello sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and I feel that you are still as beautiful as before, and there is not much change." ”

Chen Huiying waved her hand:

"Nothing has changed, they are all old women, and there are more wrinkles on their faces than chayote."

Seeing the child Chen Huiying was carrying, Dai Jianguo quickly took out a red envelope wrapped in red paper and a pair of silver bracelets from his jacket pocket and stuffed them into the blanket wrapped in Xiao Tutu.

Chen Huiying frowned and said, "What are you doing Lao Dai, you are willing to go back to the island, we are all very happy, what kind of red envelopes do you get." ”

"It's just a little careful, I haven't come back when Duoyu and Xiaoying got married, and besides, this bracelet has been beaten, and I can't return it."

Chen Huiying sighed: "Okay, I'll fry a few dishes for you, and eat them here at night." ”

Dai Jianguo hurriedly refused: "Sister-in-law, no need, I'll come back to see you, and then go to see my eldest brother, and I'll leave immediately." ”

After everyone glanced at the bag of silver paper that Lao Dai was holding in his hand, they all understood what he was doing when he came back.

"If you don't stay overnight, I'll go back right away."

Dai Jianguo nodded.

Lao Li sighed with emotion: "Okay, then we won't embarrass you." ”

李多鱼 says:

"Uncle Dai, you haven't been back to the island for so long, I'll go with you."

Dai Jianguo pondered for a while: "Yes, I heard that your kid is mixing well now, and he is the village director." ”

Li Duoyu smiled: "Luckily, everyone doesn't like it, so I picked up a bargain." ”

"You kid, when did you become so modest, remember when you were a child."

"People change."

After hearing this, Dai Jianguo suddenly quieted down, and suddenly muttered to himself: "People do change, but they can't change in the past." ”

After hearing this.

Li Duoyu couldn't help sighing, in his previous life, Uncle Dai didn't return to Dandan Island until he died, and he was not naïve, with his personality charm, he could persuade the man in front of him to forgive those people at the beginning.

Li Duoyu followed him.

Came to the end of the village.

I went to see the stone house where their family originally lived, but I didn't expect it to be used as a grocery room by the neighbor Lao Lu, with all kinds of fishing nets and firewood stacked.

may be because he learned that Dai Lao Er was back, Lao Lu cleaned up Dai Er's house as soon as possible.

I didn't think about it, but I only cleaned up half of it.

Dai Lao Er is already here.

Lao Lu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Teacher Dai, when will you come back, I will clean this house for you immediately." ”

Dai Jianguo glanced at the old house, which was empty, except for some fishing gear and firewood, there was nothing left.

In fact, when he fled the island, their house had already been ransacked, and even the bed was pulled to be burned as firewood.

Seeing Lao Lu cleaning up there, Dai Jianguo said lightly: "No need to clean up, I'll just take a look, I won't come back in the future." ”

"Ah, aren't you coming back?"

Dai Jianguo did not answer, but carried his things and walked towards the mountain behind the island.

On the other side of the island, where there are many graves, Dai Jianguo came to several inconspicuous graves.

What surprised him a little was that.

The grave turned out to have a tombstone.

The weeds around it were also cleaned up, and not long ago, there were people who burned paper money.

"Fish, is this what you worship?"

Li Duoyu shook his head: "It's not us who worship." ”

Dai Jianguo furrowed his brows, he probably knew who came to worship, he couldn't help but sigh, and then took out the tribute and silver paper and incense from the bag.

I didn't say a word of longing during the whole process.

Even the eyes are not red.

After a brief bowe.

Dai Jianguo left the tribute on the side of the tomb, climbed to a high place, and after taking one last look at Dandan Island, he said, "Duoyu, you have a boat." ”

"Yes."

"Then you can send me back."

"Don't you stay overnight?"

Dai Jianguo said: "The home is gone, and it is not much fun to live like a guest." ”

"Then I'll go back and talk to my parents."

"No need, if you tell them, they will definitely try to keep me again, and later, you can just send me to Qingkou Wharf."

Li Duoyu pondered.

"Yes, I'll send you back."

After the two went down the mountain.

Li Duoyu looked at the sampan boat and sent Dai Lao Er to the Qingkou Wharf, and before leaving, Dai Jianguo took out a well-preserved photo from his pocket and handed it to Li Duoyu.

"I didn't see Xiaoying today, you can give her this photo, maybe she needs it more than me."

Li Duoyu looked very surprised after looking at the photo, in the photo, he was still very young, and he had no memory related to this photo.

"Thank you, Uncle Dai, in the future, I will often bother you."

"Don't come, you don't have to look at it."

"How is it possible, my business will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and the signboards will be customized by you."

"You're getting better at bragging, let's go."

After Li Duoyu returned home.

handed over the group photo given to him by Dai Lao Er to Zhou Xiaoying, and when she saw the people in the group photo, she was stunned.

"Where did this picture come from?"

"Uncle Dai gave it."

"Uncle Jianguo, he has returned to the island, and now what about the people?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "I've gone back to town." ”

Zhou Xiaoying looked at the group photo, especially when she looked at the two familiar and unfamiliar figures, her eyes instantly turned red.

More than a decade has passed.

Zhou Xiaoying's impression of her father and mother has long been blurred, and she only remembers that her father always likes to wear army green clothes, and her mother ties two ponytails and can play the accordion.

Since she can remember, she has felt that her father and mother love to laugh and like to make her happy the most.

At that time, she liked Daddy to lift her up the most.
