"Director Li, if you don't go back to Dandan Island in the evening, do you want to have a light meal together?" An Yuliang asked.

"No, Manager An is too polite, I still have something to do at night."

An Yuliang sent Li Duoyu all the way to the door of the company, and asked again: "Is the accommodation arranged for the night, if not, do you want to stay in our company's guest house." ”

"It's so polite, if it's so polite, it will scare me away."

"Haha, I see."

As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, he turned around and saw two familiar people at the door of their company.

The moment they saw it, both sides were a little surprised, and they didn't react for a while.

Zhao Jialu rode a 28 bar, wearing a polka-dot long skirt, and Li Xiuyun, who was wearing a headband, sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle.

After seeing Li Xiuyun.

Only then did Li Duoyu remember that she was working in Rongcheng United Distribution Company, and her position seemed to be not low.

Some time ago, although these two people haven't done wine yet, they have already received their certificates.

After Zhao Jialu saw Li Duoyu, his eyes widened, and he looked at An Fat Man behind him, a little resentful:

"Brother Yu, you're not interesting enough, you won't come to me when you come to Rongcheng."

Li Duoyu replied casually:

"I also just arrived, and I came here to deal with some things, and I planned to go to you when I was done."

"I don't believe it, if I hadn't touched me, you probably wouldn't have come to see me."

After An Yuliang saw a few of them chatting, he said, "You guys talk first, Director Li, Xiaolin is not so reliable, I'll help you keep an eye on it." ”

"I'm really bothering you, Manager An."

Zhao Jialu looked at the watch in his left hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, it's all over today, you shouldn't go back." ”

Li Duoyu nodded:

"Well, there's something about it, maybe I'll stay in Banyan City for one night tonight."

"Okay." Zhao Jialu was a little excited, and gave the 28 bars to Li Xiuyun on the spot:

"Xiuyun, Brother Yu finally came to Rongcheng, I will accompany him for a while, and I won't go back to eat in the evening, you can eat with Daddy and Auntie."

Although Li Xiuyun kept smiling, her fists couldn't help but clench, she was wearing a skirt today, how could she ride these 28 bars?

Is it hard for me to push it back?

Li Duoyu was a little embarrassed, but this kind of behavior was indeed very "Zhao Jialu", and he looked at Li Xiuyun, who was smiling without smiling with his eyelids.

Li Duoyu hurriedly said:

"You hurry up and send Xiuyun back, I don't have to leave in a hurry, wait a minute, I'll wait for you near the dock."

"Brother Yu, don't lie to me."

"If I lied to you, I wouldn't tell you that I would spend the night in Banyan City."

"Okay, I'll send Xiuyun back first, and then I'll come back to you."

Zhao Jialu's bicycle pedaled fast, but as soon as he rode out about fifty meters, the whole 28 bars shook and almost fell.

Zhao Jialu was puzzled: "You are wrong, why are you screwing me so hard." ”

Li Xiuyun looked unhappy: "Angry! ”

"It's unreasonable, what's so angry, Brother Yu finally came to Rongcheng once, and he didn't have any eyesight at all."

Li Xiuyun smiled bitterly, like a deflated ball, and complained: "I shouldn't listen to my mother, I regret getting the certificate with you." ”

Seeing her say this again, Zhao Jialu also said stiffly: "You regret it, I also regret it, if it weren't for the fear of being beaten by your father."

Before Zhao Jialu finished speaking, a sharp pain came from his waist.

"Can you change the side and twist it, the old twist is in the same place, the pain is painful, believe it or not, I will ride it directly in the stinky ditch for you."

"You dare."

"I don't dare, the gutter stinks."

After hearing this, Li Xiuyun was very angry but helpless, she looked back at Li Duoyu, who couldn't see her figure anymore, she didn't know why, she was a little jealous of him.

Zhao Jialu has a lot of friends, but only Li Duoyu is good for his heart and lungs, and he only received kelp for two days last time he went to Dandan Island.

After coming back, I read it with him for more than a week, and I didn't leave Li Duoyu for ten sentences, and her ears were calloused.

What else to say.

After making money in the future, he went to Dandan Island to buy a piece of land, wanted to build a house there, and asked her to give birth to a daughter in a hurry and order a baby kiss with Li Duoyu's son Xiao Tutu.

"Alas!"

If it weren't for the fact that he was always messing with flowers and grass before, Li Xiuyun really couldn't help but wonder if Zhao Jialu's orientation was a bit of a problem.

Li Xiuyun sighed lightly: "In the evening, come back early, don't drink too much to know if there is any." ”

Zhao Jialu saluted while riding: "Received, leader." ”

"I knew that I was the leader, and I was asked to ride home by myself, but I didn't know that I was wearing a skirt today."

"I just forgot, I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time."

"I admit that I was wrong, why are you still screwing it."

Li Xiuyun puffed out his cheeks: "After screwing this time, I will be discouraged." ”

"Then I, can I spend the night outside?"

"What do you think?"

"I was wrong, don't take your hands off first."

Behind the big iron gate of the Rongcheng United Distribution Company, the two employees who had been smoking in front of the reception room were stunned when they saw the scene just now.

The young man who smelled of seafood was not only known to Manager An, but also to Li Xiuyun and her husband, and the relationship was quite good.

Li Xiuyun is the company's key training object, and more importantly, her family is all in the bus system, and I heard that her uncle is the leader of that system.

As for that Zhao Jialu, it is even more awesome, although he only rides the twenty-eight bars, but his father and mother all work in the compound, and they are all important positions.

On the side of Rongcheng, people who know Zhao Jialu know that this person is a "crab".

The young man named Zhang Lu was puzzled: "What is the identity of that person, could it be the child of a big leader's family, who was dragged to the beach to gild." ”

"If that's the case, that leader is too ruthless, and the fishy smell on his body can't be so strong if he hasn't been on the beach for two or three years."

Li Sanshui suddenly said solemnly:

"In the future, keep your mouth tight, stop talking nonsense, and don't chew the root of your tongue behind others.

This time it's our luck, that person doesn't seem to care, if we run into a hard stubble, we don't know how we died. ”

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly: "Who would have known that such a mediocre-looking person would come from such a big place." ”

Li Sanshui rolled his eyes and said: "Where the appearance is mediocre, people are much more handsome than you, okay." ”

"Yes, he's awesome, you're right about anything."

"You're starting to bar again."

"What a bar, I'm telling the truth."

After leaving the Rongcheng United Distribution Company, Li Duoyu walked over to the herb shops on the side of the road and tried to ask.

"Boss, do you have Guanzhong, Artemisia annua, betel nut, these herbs in your store?"

The boss in the tunic replied:

"No, these herbs have been out of stock recently."

"Do you know where to sell it?"

The boss thought about it and replied: "If you really want to buy it, you can go to the distribution company opposite and ask, they have more outlets, maybe there will be." ”

Li Duoyu asked two herbal medicine shops on this street, and found that there were no goods, looking at the situation, if he didn't come to Manager An, it was estimated that he would really not be able to do it.

Walking and walking.

Li Duoyu followed the inland river and came to the riverside near the Rongcheng Wharf.

There's a square here.

After work, there are quite a lot of people.

The elderly and children in the neighborhood especially like to come here to play, and many couples also walk hand in hand along the river.

When you go to work during the day, you may wear plain overalls, but in the evening, the colors are much brighter.

When summer comes, many young people wear "really good", which is very eye-catching in colorful colors.

Li Duoyu also discovered that in this era, girls seem to like to wear colored headbands.

On one side of the square is a young man in bell-bottoms, wearing toad glasses, and carrying a tape recorder dancing a disco.

They like to turn up the tape recorder to the loudest and twist their bodies constantly.

On the other hand, it is ballroom dancing, and the songs are relatively soft, but they are often male and female partners, and the "social" attribute is stronger.

The two groups of people, always because the music was too loud, often scolded each other in the square.

Li Duoyu stood on the side of the square and watched for a while, but he didn't think that an aunt with a pink face came up to talk: "Young man, I just lack a partner, do you want to dance together." ”

Li Duoyu smiled: "Sister, I can't jump." ”

"It's okay if you can't dance, I can teach you by hand, this dance is very easy to learn."

"I really don't need to, I'll just take a look, and I'll leave later."

Looking at his aunt's disappointed expression, Li Duoyu couldn't help but recall some of the past, in fact, he and A Guiting often went to the dance hall.

Whether it's disco or ballroom dancing, both of them dance well, plus they are generous and will buy drinks for their dance partners, and many young girls especially like to dance with them.

Now Li Duoyu looks only in his twenties, but he is actually young in his sixties, and prefers quiet places to noisy places.

Li Duoyu found a random place to sit down on the stone steps by the river.

The sunset in early summer dyed the surface of the river red, and several children with mud on their faces were barefoot, stepping in the mud by the river, half-squatting, catching a small crab.

The locals call this small crab a cockroach, and they can be seen on the mudflats by the river, and there are many of them.

And this crab is very small, growing to the largest, only two or three centimeters, so this cockroach has a very interesting place.

It's a large group of cockroaches that will wave their crab claws neatly, and Li Duoyu doesn't know why they do this, probably because of the way they communicate with each other.

Cockroaches generally do not go too far from the burrow, and if they encounter danger, they will burrow back into the burrow as quickly as possible.

But the children who caught the cockroaches were also very fast, and the cockroaches were caught by them before they had time to burrow back into the cave.

Especially the little girl who took the lead, as soon as she caught one by one, even Li Duoyu thought she was very powerful.

The little pincers of this crab, if you clamp people, don't hurt at all, and after the little girl caught the cockroach, she put it in the bamboo basket around her waist.

Li Duoyu glanced at their bamboo baskets, which were densely packed with cockroaches, and these children were not playing.

They caught so many cockroaches, they should have to sell them for money.

Rongcheng has a local specialty called cockroach sauce, and this sauce is made with this small crab.

Li Duoyu also used to make this sauce in his previous life, and the method is quite simple, wash these small crabs, cut off the butt cover, add sea salt, and soak in white wine for half a day.

Then, mash it into a puree, then add sugar, red wine lees and other ingredients, and after fermentation, it is the cockroach sauce.

The taste is quite unique.

To outsiders, this thing is definitely a dark dish.

But for the locals, the cockroach sauce is a common sauce on the dinner table.

If the child does not like to eat, the family will often take out the cockroach sauce and mix it in the rice, so that the child can often eat an extra bowl of rice.

However, Li Duoyu feels that the cockroach sauce and the jellyfish are a perfect match, and for him, the jellyfish without dipping the cockroach sauce is soulless.

At this time, Li Duoyu heard the familiar sound of knocking on the bowl, turned around, and happened to see an uncle riding a bicycle, shouting in his voice: "Fish balls, fish balls." ”

"Good fishmonger."

Li Duoyu took a closer look and found that it was actually the uncle who sold his fish balls at the train station the year before last.

Li Duoyu, who happened to be a little hungry, shouted, "Here's one, fish balls." ”

"Okay."

The uncle immediately stopped, parked the bicycle, took out a clean bowl and spoon, and asked:

"If you want two cents or three cents, if you want two cents, six fish balls, and if you want three cents, ten pieces."

Li Duoyu replied: "Sanmao, help me add more vinegar and green onions." ”

"Okay."

Seeing the uncle using a bowl to fill fish balls, Li Duoyu couldn't help asking: "Didn't you use bamboo tubes before, why do you use bowls now." ”

The uncle was stunned for a moment and asked, "You used to be at the train station and ate my fish balls." ”

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "I've eaten, the business at the train station is so good, why don't you sell it there?" ”

The uncle who sold fish balls sighed: "I was driven away by my peers, but it's okay to drive away, if you stay in that kind of place for a long time, the whole person will be very uncomfortable, or come to the riverside to see the young people here, and the mood is more comfortable." ”

Li Duoyu knew why the uncle felt uncomfortable, during the period after the opening, the area around the train station should be the most chaotic place in the city.

Three-handed, "beggars", children getting lost, abducting and trafficking women, this kind of thing happens almost every day in that kind of place.

To be honest, staying in that kind place for a long time will indeed be very uncomfortable.

After Li Duoyu ate two bites of fish balls, he couldn't help but say, "Uncle, your fish balls seem to have become a lot smaller." ”

The uncle glared and said: "I used to sell you three cents, and now I still sell you three cents, you don't look at it, what has become of the recent increase in the price of fish, I haven't raised the price and it's already good." ”

And just when Li Duoyu was eating fish balls, the group of children who caught cockroaches surrounded him, but they didn't dare to get too close.

A child who was only seven or eight years old swallowed his saliva: "Sister, this fish ball is so fragrant, do you want us to sell the cockroach and buy a bowl of fish balls to eat." ”

The little girl who took the lead in catching the cockroach kept her eyes on Li Duoyu's bowl, and her stomach gurgled sound, but she shook her head and said:

"No, these cockroaches are going to be sold for money, so we have to buy medicine for my mother."

Li Duoyu, who heard this, couldn't help but be stunned, remembering that when he was a child, he and Xiaoying always followed the splash to beg Xiaohai.

If you catch seafood, you will sell it.

He was always clamoring to buy candy to eat, but Shui Hua saved all the money, and when they went to school, he bought a pencil case for him and Xiaoying.

Li Duoyu said to the little girl who took the lead: "Are you hungry, do you want to eat fish balls, I can invite you to eat." ”

Hearing this, the two little boys' eyes widened and said excitedly, "Uncle, you are really willing to invite us to eat." ”

The little girl who took the lead frowned tightly and said, "Ah Nan, Ah Bei, have you forgotten what Ah Niang said, you can't just eat what others give, otherwise you will be abducted." ”

The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched, he didn't expect this little girl to have such a strong sense of anti-abduction, but he agreed with her.

"Your mother is right, but my uncle is different from those traffickers, and he won't trick you out."

The little girl tangled up:

"But my mother also said that if you don't do anything, you will be rewarded for eating other people's food."

Li Duoyu was a little speechless, thinking that this little girl was probably a little cultured, but there were too many rules.

Li Duoyu said: "Then let me ask you, do you want to eat fish balls." ”

"I want to eat."

Li Duoyu sighed: "That's it, if you can't sing, if you can, sing a song to me, and I'll treat you to a bowl of fish balls." ”

The little girl thought for a moment: "Yes, but I can only sing one song." ”

"It's okay, as long as it's a song."

Li Duoyu was already a little impatient, he just wanted to invite these children to eat a bowl of fish balls, why was it so troublesome.

The little girl cleared her throat and began to sing.

"Let's swing the sculls,

The boat pushes away the waves

”

After hearing the little girl's singing, Li Duoyu was really surprised, the voice is really good, if this is cultivated well, he may not be a singer in the future.

People sitting by the river to enjoy the cool air were also attracted by her singing.

"Sounds good."

"This little girl sings so well."

After seeing her finish singing a song, Li Duoyu glanced at the three children, and then said to the uncle who sold fish balls: "Three more bowls of fish balls." ”

Hearing that her uncle ordered three bowls of fish balls, the little girl was stunned: "Uncle, I can only sing one song, just give us a bowl." ”

Li Duoyu raised his eyebrows, and found out how this little girl looked at each other: "Then a song, sing it to me three times." ”

After the little girl sang the song three times, she led her two younger brothers to wash her hands and feet by the river, and then dared to come over and eat fish balls.

While eating the fish balls, the girl took out an enamel cup with a serious paint loss from the cloth bag she was carrying.

From each of the three bowls, four fish balls were taken out, poured into an enamel cup, and some soup was poured into it.

Li Duoyu asked puzzledly, "Do you have any other children?" ”

The girl lowered her head and said, "I brought it back to my mother to eat, she has been sick recently and has been lying in bed all the time." ”

Li Duoyu was stunned, this girl is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

He suddenly looked at the river, looked at the ugly and ugly canopy boats, and realized that in the 80s, there were still many people who could not afford to see a doctor and eat. (End of chapter)
