The day of the Lantern Festival.

There are a lot of lanterns sold on the island, and in their place, "lamp" and "ding" are homophonic, which means to add ding.

"Sending lights" is "sending Ding".

In this era, the most important thing for a girl after marriage is to have children, and if she does not give birth to children after marriage, it is a very disgraceful thing for the bride and her family, and people will gossip.

So on this day, the uncle usually buys the lamp and delivers it to the bride's house.

In addition to the uncle who will buy lights, children will also clamo for their families to buy lamps for him.

Seeing that other people's children have them, many parents who usually pick and search will also get up big on the day of the Lantern Festival and buy a lantern for their children, mainly to be festive and auspicious.

"Mother, can you buy me a carp lamp."

Zhu Xiuhua did not immediately agree to Li Haoran, but asked the lamp seller: "How much is this lamp." ”

"This carp lamp, five cents."

Zhu Xiuhua glared and said, "It's so expensive, you might as well grab it." ”

The lamp seller sighed: "Oh, eldest sister, five cents is really not expensive, you look at the material for my lamp."

The cost of these colored papers alone is not cheap, and now it is almost dark, and we have to rush back to sell it so cheaply. ”

"Sanmao."

"Three cents is really not good, if you want to post money, the minimum is four cents."

Zhu Xiuhua insisted: "It can only be three cents, the Lantern Festival is almost over, no one will want your lantern tomorrow, just one cent, it is better to sell me cheaply." ”

The lamp dealer sighed: "Forget it, Sanmao is for you, don't tell anyone else." ”

"Okay."

When paying, Zhu Xiuhua took out three golden dimes.

The lamp dealer took the three dime gold coins and did not put them directly into his satchel, but looked at the next year first.

1983 year.

Immediately afterwards, the coin was turned over, and on the reverse was a large national emblem.

The lantern dealer put the three coins into a small compartment in his satchel, and said to Li Haoran, who was holding the carp lamp, with a smile on his face:

"Kid, it's getting dark, do you want to help you light the lamp."

"Yes, yes."

The lamp dealer struck a match, reached through the belly of the carp lamp, and lit the small candle inside.

Under the reflection of the lights, the carp lanterns are all colorful patterns, which is very beautiful.

Li Haoran excitedly carried the lamp: "Auntie, I went to play with my friends." ”

"Don't play too late, come back early, school will start tomorrow, have you finished your winter vacation homework?"

Li Haoran was suddenly a little depressed, and for a moment, he felt that his happiness had disappeared.

And Li Duoyu, who was shopping for lanterns on the side, was also a little surprised when he saw the three dimes of coins.

No wonder the lantern dealers are so happy, this set of golden Great Wall coins is not very large in circulation, and like the monkey stamps, it has a certain collection value.

But these things, Zhu Xiuhua, who rarely goes out of the island, can't understand them.

And that's the information gap.

In these days, there are many people who make money from this information gap.

"Mom~Light~"

After seeing the lantern, Xiao Tutu in Zhou Xiaoying's arms kept wanting to reach out and grab it.

Li Xiaorong said happily: "Tutu, which one do you like, tell your aunt, and your aunt will buy you one." ”

Zhou Xiaoying said with a smile: "No, I'll buy it for him, the boss will have the smallest and lightest, and the child can move it." ”

"Then the lotus lantern, two cents."

Li Duoyu looked disgusted: "Don't buy it for him, this kid must be uneasy and kind, 100% thrown on the ground, and then let me pick it up, on the day he was one year old, I don't know how many times I picked it up for him, and his waist was about to break." ”

The two women couldn't help but smile, now in the entire Xiasha Village, it is estimated that Xiao Tutu can cure him.

After Xiao Tutu got the lotus lantern, Li Duoyu did not ask the lantern seller to help light it, just as he expected.

Not long after the kid got the lamp, he gave his father a sneaky look.

The next second.

He threw the lotus lantern on the ground again.

"Your uncle, after fifteen, see how I clean you up."

But every time Li Duoyu shouted to clean up, he didn't clean him up every time, Li Xiaorong couldn't help but say: "I didn't think about it, my brother still loves the child." ”

Zhou Xiaoying sighed: "Alas, he loves the child so much, and the person who sings blackface at home in the future must be me." ”

Zhou Xiaoying glanced at the dock, and many unmarried girls were also carrying lanterns in their hands, so she said:

"Xiaorong, the lantern is very beautiful, do you want your brother to give you a lamp."

"I don't even have an object, what's the use of sending me lanterns, if you want to send it, send water splashes, it's best to buy her a Guanyin lantern."

"How can you have no object under your conditions, don't keep picking and choosing, it's almost enough."

Li Xiaorong frowned and pondered: "I want to too, mainly because I can't find a bastard like my brother." ”

Li Duoyu, who had just picked up the lotus lantern, gave her a blank look: "I'm such a good person, where is the bastard." ”

Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "Xiao Rong is not wrong, you used to be a bastard, you went to Rongcheng to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival for several years, and you didn't take me." ”

The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.

"This matter is over, don't talk about the old past, people should look forward, next year, I will take you with Xiao Tutu."

"Yes, that's what you said."

Li Xiaorong puffed out his mouth:

"Brother, why don't you take me, I also want to go to Rongcheng to see the lanterns."

Li Duoyu said with a disgusted face:

"We are a family of three, why do you take a light bulb, hurry up and find a person to look at the lantern yourself."

"Brother, how have you changed?"

"You didn't do that to me before."

"It's changed a long time ago, you won't find out now, after getting married, I will definitely be close to your sister-in-law, how can I keep sticking to you."

"Cut."

Zhou Xiaoying on the side smiled inexplicably happily, and when she saw his mother laughing, Xiao Tutu also laughed together.

After the Lantern Festival.

Li Xiaorong had to rush back to the hospital to work, and she wanted to sneak away early in the morning and go to the train station alone.

As a result, she was caught by Daddy and Auntie, and lectured her on the spot for half an hour.

In the end, it's the same as before.

Li Duoyu personally sent her to the train station, and with the sound of "sneering" and "sneering", Li Xiaorong, who was sitting at the window, waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Brother, I'm leaving."

"Don't think too much about me."

"Don't stink, who will miss you."

Li Duoyu also smiled and waved his hand to her.

The next time we meet, maybe it's a year from now, and to be honest, I'm really a little reluctant.

Fifteen years later.

Even if the Spring Festival is officially over, middle schools and primary schools will open one after another, and even the lazy fishermen will not find an excuse to stay at home after the fifteenth year.

After sending Li Xiaorong.

As soon as he returned to the island, Li Duoyu heard the news of an explosion.

The case of the bombing and murder of a boat in Shangqi Village has already been closed.

There were a lot of people talking on the other side of the dock.

"I think they must be black and black, otherwise there is no need to kill them."

"It seems that Liu Mazi and Chen Liang are the two of them who are carrying goods for these people, but fortunately, Mazu blessed them and let them run aground, otherwise none of them will come back."

"It's fate."

After Li Duoyu parked the sampan boat, he asked Old Man Mi, "Did you really catch the murderer?" ”

"It's caught, it's all published in the newspaper."

Li Duoyu really couldn't believe it.

In this era when there are no cameras, the difficulty of solving crimes at sea is very high.

In his previous life, the pirates who had not been caught for several years, how could the case be solved in less than a month in this life?

That's a lot more efficient.

Could it be that there are people in the organization who have been born again like him.

"Old rice, show me the newspaper."

Li Duoyu took the newspaper and read it, and there was an eye-catching headline on the second page.

[The incident of bombing the ship and sinking the body was solved, and seven members of the criminal gang were arrested]

(Last year, on Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a huge fishing boat homicide case in our city.)

Li Duoyu briefly glanced at the contents of the newspaper, in this incident, the murderer was actually the leader of the goods gang.

That is, some time ago, the group of cargo criminals who were arrested in Nanri Town, and the reason for killing the fishermen in Shangqi Village was very simple, that is, the goods were bumped into by them, and they were afraid that they would tell the truth, so they blew up the boat and sank the corpses.

And this reason for killing seems to be really fine at first glance, but for Li Duoyu, who has experienced the goods, it feels a little wrong.

Now the goods are different from before, they are all small items, such as cigarettes, watches and the like, and most of the goods are hidden in the hold.

Every larger cargo ship is disguised as a fishing boat, and there are not only fishing nets but even fish on board.

The time of the shipment is usually late at night, unless you know from the beginning that he is here to deliver the goods, otherwise you don't know what the fishing boat is for.

Those people only recognize money, yes.

But he is also very afraid of trouble, and he resolutely does not say anything about things that can be solved with money, and he does not do anything, not like a person who will do such a thing.

Li Duoyu felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined, he looked at the newspaper and found that in the end, the credit fell to the "task force".

The names of Secretary Chen, Mayor Gao and Director Li, who had been busy for more than half a month, did not appear in the newspaper.

Li Duoyu felt that this matter was a bit strange, and estimated that the real culprit had not been caught yet, and he might not have something to do in the future.

When I think about it.

Li Duoyu is really annoyed, it seems that he still has to remind the people in the village that they must not relax, let alone be a bad person at sea.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that the reason why the case was closed so quickly had something to do with him.

Shangfeng Township Committee.

Li Mingli was so angry that he didn't even want to smoke, he slapped the newspaper in his hand and said angrily: "The evidence is not enough, why did you close the case like this, and send out the news." ”

Mayor Gao, who drank his saliva, sighed:

"It should be that the delegation is coming soon, and the pressure from above is too great, but these people have also been recruited, and the results are good, but there are some mistakes and lack of consideration in the process."

Director Li couldn't help but burst into foul language:

"What a fart, you didn't see how they interrogated, just like that, even if it's a pig, you have to be forced to draw and sign."

Gao Tianyun frowned and said:

"I said Lao Li, why are you so axial, don't you understand what I'm saying, those people have smuggled a lot of cultural relics, even if there is no such thing, they can't survive, and besides, you can't prove that they didn't do it."

"There is no suspicion of guilt, I know that there is no guilt, if they are all like them, what is the difference between it and ten years ago?"

"If I don't tell you, I can't talk about you."

"This is a matter of principle, not a question that cannot be overstated, if the real culprit is not caught, it will definitely be a time bomb for our coastal fishermen."

"There are so many shipwrecks every year, and if such people don't find out, who knows if they are harmed."

Mayor Gao couldn't help but scold: "It's all to blame for this damn investigation group, if you don't come early or late, but you come at this time, and you are in a hurry." ”

Chen Shulin, who had never spoken much, said solemnly: "Director Li, if you feel that you have caught the wrong person, you will continue to follow this matter and don't relax." ”

"Even if you don't talk about it, I will continue to follow up, and if I don't arrest these eight calves, I feel like I can't sleep well."

Chen Shulin rubbed his temples and took a sip of the strong tea on the table.

I haven't slept well for half a month, and I feel that my life and rest are a little disordered.

Since becoming the secretary of this town, things have been one after another, and I feel that I haven't had a good life.

His wife has been messing with him recently, and she didn't go back for the entire Spring Festival, and she didn't send her children to study abroad.

What gave him the most headache was that the case of the bombing of the ship and the sinking of the body had just "ended", and a new thing had come, and the attention paid to this matter far exceeded that of the case of the bombing of the ship and the sinking of the body.

looked at the red-headed documents on the table that had only been received in the past two days.

Chen Shulin went on to say:

"Lao Gao, the village doctor from Xiasha Village is gone, and it just so happens that the delegation is about to come, you first transfer a doctor from the town health center to Xiasha Village, and let him go to the village for a while."

"Also, the people from the Rongcheng reception team will come to our town committee the morning after tomorrow, and when the time comes, you and I will accompany the people of the reception team to Dandan Island to check the health situation first."

"According to the itinerary, it seems that the group of people in the delegation will have lunch on the island, and they will also finalize the dishes early and report them."

"Also, I heard that the big leaders will also come to the island with the inspection team, and we must ensure that the whole investigation process is foolproof."

Li Mingli said with an unhappy face:

"Isn't it just a bunch of devils, why are you doing such a grand event, everyone won't forget how they bullied us back then."

Chen Shulin glanced at Director Li and frowned:

"It's good to complain in private, when people come, don't say it again, the above requires you that nothing is allowed to happen during this time."

"And your temper has to be changed, now for us, the most important thing is not the inside or the face, but the money."
