In the days when the old man left, Stone would occasionally sit on the dock in a daze.

Sigh twice from time to time.

Some fishermen who had seen the old man couldn't help but joke when they saw the stones.

"Stone, how do you feel that you look a little like the old man from the overseas province."

Shi smiled: "It's very similar, I forgot to ask, maybe it's really my long-lost grandfather." ”

Lao Lu snorted: "Impossible, your grandfather is the stone big foot." ”

Old Man Mi on the side frowned: "It's really hard to say whether Grandpa Shi is a big foot or not, I remember that Big Foot was drunk and said that he and Xiumei are just living together." ”

Lao Lu wrung his brows: "Lao Mi, you can't talk nonsense, this month is Zhongyuan, be careful that Big Foot comes to you at night." ”

"Heh, I'll be afraid of him, when he first came to the island, he didn't have anything, and he borrowed a few Yuan Datou from me, and the money hasn't been repaid yet, and the person is directly gone, if he dares to come to me, I'll let him pay it back."

Lao Lu smiled: "It's still a cow." ”

The stone also smiled awkwardly.

Actually, he didn't have any feelings for the two grandfathers, after all, they didn't get along, and his big-footed grandfather passed away very early.

Seeing that every time his father talks about him, he gritted his teeth, and it is estimated that the stone foot should not be a good bird.

Looking at the sea in the distance, the stone sighed, and after Ah Gong saw Grandma, he should not venture to fish near the middle line again.

I don't know how many years it will take to see him again.

After the pond is done.

Li Duoyu dug up a lot of small trees from the mangrove forest and planted them around the pond for blue crab seedlings to avoid natural enemies.

The fish damage in the pond was cleaned up, but Li Duoyu forgot about it, and there was also a bird damage in the sky.

In this era, there are still a lot of birds, especially those "long-legged birds", since the plum fish put the blue crab fry in the pond.

Every day, I came to check in and check in the rice.

was so angry that Li Duoyu borrowed Zhao Erniu's air gun, beat a lot of them, plucked their hair, and tied them to a stick.

After seeing the same kind of feathers being plucked.

They didn't dare to come.

However, this kind of bird repellent device can only last for a month or two at most, and the birds are relatively smart, and when they are sure that they are not in danger, they will not be afraid of those feathers.

Since raising blue crabs, Li Duoyu finally understands why those farmers hate these seabirds so much.

In his previous life, Li Duoyu often heard farmers complain that the whole pond of blue crabs and shrimp was almost finished by seabirds.

Because the stilted birds in the previous life were all protected animals, they could not be killed, but could only scare them away.

The pond is small, so you can buy a net that covers the entire pond.

If you like this kind of big pond, there is no trick at all, and you can only die with these "protected animals".

In Li Duoyu's memory, there are really one or two farmers who have bankrupted these protected animals.

However, the long-legged bird also has natural predators on Dandan Island, that is, the group of children on the island who are energetic and idle and have nothing to do.

Since the construction of the embankment, it has become a new playground for children on the island, and children often run around on the embankment.

There are also children who will fish here.

Xiao Jin, who was at the pork stall, caught a lot of sea bream on this side of the embankment this month.

And Li Duoyu spent a little money to let the children in the village help him catch the birds.

"Bell, bell."

Several children are chasing the "long-legged birds" on the embankment with a gong, and they only need to help catch the daybirds.

Then Li Duoyu will give them a dime.

Not much money though.

But you can get a teacup of melon seeds, there are still a lot of children rushing to do this, the "long-legged birds" on this side of the pond are often not on the ground, they are driven around by the children.

There are even children who pick up slingshots and shoot at them, and in less than half a month, the long-legged birds are completely afraid to come to the embankment.

Time flies.

In less than half a month, brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng has already finished the second pond.

evening

Li Duoyu and Zhang Mingsheng sat on the embankment, with several bottles of beer on the side.

There is also a bag of dried peanuts from the next village, dried fish from the local Balang and shredded squid from the seafood processing factory.

Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng asked:

"There are many fish, I have built two ponds, and I have raised so many blue crabs, do you want to continue to do it."

Li Duoyu thought about it.

He didn't plan to tell his brother-in-law whether he was engaged in blue crabs, shrimp or not, and whether he could make money in the short term.

The most important thing is that these ponds will be his.

"I've been busy for almost two months, aren't you tired?"

Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng twisted his neck: "If you say you're not tired, it must be a lie, you're tired, but at least you still have a head in your heart." ”

Just looking at the pond in front of him, Zhang Mingsheng said lightly: "Seriously, when you said that you wanted to fence the pond at the beginning, I was really not very optimistic, but I didn't expect that it was really fenced, and after it was fenced, I felt quite a sense of accomplishment." ”

Li Duoyu laughed and said:

"When I first started raising kelp, it was even worse, except for my brother-in-law, few people believed that I could make money."

Zhang Mingsheng picked up the beer and poured a few sips into his mouth: "I think that now you, even if you say that you want to raise sea cockroaches, maybe there will be a bunch of people who will raise them with you." ”

"Don't really say it, maybe in the future, there will really be people raising sea cockroaches."

"Hold the grass, it's really fake, so disgusting things are bred by people."

"Then you often catch sea centipedes to eat, sea centipedes are not more disgusting."

"These two are not the same."

"Everywhere is different, it's all the same, it's disgusting."

Zhang Mingsheng said: "But I think the most disgusting thing is Lao Lu, yesterday he actually ate this boat maggot cold mix, which scared me stupid." ”

Li Duoyu swallowed his saliva: "Fuck, Lao Lu, this bastard, you don't ask me to eat this kind of good thing, if this thing is dipped in garlic sauce, the thief is delicious." ”

Zhang Mingsheng seemed to be looking at aliens: "I finally found out, if you want to talk about perverts, or the more perverted ones on your island, why dare you stuff any seafood into your mouth." ”

Li Duoyu smiled: "Your Shanggang Village is a peninsula, and there is a piece of mainland behind it, and our Dandan Island is different, if you don't change the pattern and eat more, you will starve to death." ”

"Let me tell you, this boat maggot, it grows in wood, there is actually a shell outside, you treat it as a big razor clam, it looks really big, slippery and disgusting, but if you eat it, the taste is similar to shellfish, very fresh and sweet, next time there is a stock, I will leave a little, as long as I try it once, I promise to want it next time."

No matter how Li Duoyu persuaded him, Zhang Mingsheng kept shaking his head.

"If it's so delicious, you better keep it for yourself, you don't have to keep it for me."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Brother-in-law, you really don't have to resist so much, in fact, you have already eaten it, and you praise it for being very delicious." ”

"When?"

"Even when you first came to the island, didn't I cook soup, and you said that the soup was very fresh and sweet."

Zhang Mingsheng suddenly remembered that he had really drunk a bowl of very sweet seafood soup.

"Isn't that anemone soup?"

Li Duoyu smiled.

"If I want to say that, do you dare to eat it?"

Zhang Mingsheng thought of the soft, slimy ship maggot, and suddenly his stomach swelled, and he couldn't help asking:

"Duoyu, apart from this accident, what other strange things did you eat for me?"

"That's it, it's really gone."

"I don't believe it, the jelly-like thing you gave me last week was made of something, and it smelled a little fishy."

"That, the people over there on Egret Island like to eat it very much, the taste is not good, if you eat it in summer, it will be cold and cold."

"Don't interrupt me, what is that thing made of?"

Li Duoyu said seriously: "If you really want to know, I can take you to dig." ”

As soon as I heard the word "dig".

Zhang Mingsheng instantly understood, first of all, it must not be a very serious thing to make that thing, either growing in the sand or growing in the soil.

"Forget it, don't tell me."

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "That's right, it's okay if the things are delicious, don't ask so much." ”

Zhang Mingsheng gritted his teeth and said, "If not, I don't have a house now, and I definitely won't eat with you." ”

"Brother-in-law, don't be like this, my sister likes to eat these things, she likes to eat that ship maggot."

Zhang Mingsheng was stunned, if she had eaten this thing in front of him when he was chasing Li Shuihua back then, the two would definitely not be able to get together.

It was at this time.

In the northeast corner of Dantan Island, a whistle sounded, and a tin boat was carrying some equipment away.

Zhang Mingsheng looked at the ship from a distance and couldn't help asking:

"Duoyu, what the hell are those people doing, they haven't been on the island for so long, and they haven't come into contact with us."

Li Duoyu looked at the iron boat in the distance and said lightly: "They are comrades from the Meteorological Bureau." ”

Zhang Mingsheng frowned, and said curiously: "Meteorological Bureau, what are you doing on our island, did you come here to build a base station, I thought they were from the geological team and came to the island to investigate." ”

"The geological team has been here a long time ago, saying that there are no mines on our island except for stones."

Li Duoyu looked at the iron boat in the distance, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you the good news secretly, if we are lucky, we will be able to get electricity before the New Year." ”

Zhang Mingsheng's eyes widened: "Did you find parts for that diesel engine?" ”

Li Duoyu shook his head and said: "There are many households in our village, and the diesel generator from twenty or thirty years ago will not work at all." ”

"How do you generate electricity?"

"Hey, hey, haven't you heard of wind power?"

Zhang Mingsheng furrowed his brows and asked, "How does the wind generate electricity?" ”

"The wind, in fact, is the principle of hydropower."

Li Duoyu wanted to explain, but found that he didn't seem to understand it very well.

"I don't understand very well, so I won't explain it to you, anyway, in two months, we will know if our village can use electricity."

Just as the two were chatting.

The voices of Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun came from the other side of the pond, and they shouted: "Daddy, uncle, grandma told you to go back to dinner, saying that you cooked a delicious intestine soup tonight." ”

Zhang Mingsheng replied:

"Okay, I'll go back and eat right away."

As soon as Li Duoyu returned to his own courtyard, he was pulled into the room by Zhou Xiaoying without thinking.

"In broad daylight, what are you doing in such a hurry, and I'll come back at night."

As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, there was a sharp pain in his right arm, and when Zhou Xiaoying twisted it this time, he really strained it.

"Why are you screwing me so hard."

Zhou Xiaoying pointed to an unopened letter on the table, her face was unhappy, and she was very fierce: "Look at it yourself." ”

Li Duoyu muttered in his mouth:

"Isn't it just a letter?"

But when he saw the sender and the address, the corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but scold: "Why is this woman sending me a letter, this is trying to harm me." ”

Chen Ziyi can be said to be a hurdle that Zhou Xiaoying can't overcome, whether the two of them have quarreled many times before or after marriage, all because of this woman.

"Take it apart and take a look, what's written on it?"

Li Duoyu directly handed over the letter to Zhou Xiaoying: "It's good for you to dismantle it, I'm not familiar with her." ”

"Hmph, if you're not familiar, you can still know where you live, and I can send you a letter."

Li Duoyu wanted to explain that he was also a person who had been in the newspaper so many times, and he was also a celebrity.

It's not easy to write to him, and the address is directly filled in Xiasha Village, Dandan Island, Director Li Duoyu (receiving).

He didn't just get the letter.

Although Li Duoyu has no experience in love, he at least understands that when a woman is angry, no matter how educated the other party is.

Don't try to explain.

Don't be reasonable.

Zhou Xiaoying pushed the letter back: "Your own letter, you open it yourself." ”

Li Duoyu opened the letter with apprehension, to be honest, he was really afraid that this woman would write messy things to him.

Good thing after taking it apart.

Inside is a very formal letter.

“

Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying

I took the liberty of bothering me.

Time is like water, it has been eight years since the early summer of '78, and we are very much looking forward to the reunion of old classmates.

Recalling that extraordinary period together, after the proposal of most of the students, the second class of our 75th class plans to hold a class reunion in Rongqiao Restaurant in Shangfeng Town on October 15 (lunar calendar).

I am willing to participate in this gathering, and I hope to make arrangements as soon as possible and go to the appointment as scheduled, and hope to reply as soon as possible due to the tight time.

Meetup Contact: Chen Ziyi.

”

After seeing the content of the letter, Li Duoyu breathed a sigh of relief, handed the letter directly to Zhou Xiaoying, and hummed: "Look at it yourself, it's not written to me, it's written to the two of us." ”

After reading the content of the letter, Zhou Xiaoying was a little embarrassed: "I thought she wrote it to you alone." ”

Li Duoyu snorted coldly: "You screwed me so painfully just now, should you compensate me now." ”

Zhou Xiaoying snorted:

"Wasn't it exciting when you saw the sender just now?"

Li Duoyu tilted his head: "I'm excited with a hammer, I'm almost scared to death, okay." ”

"You didn't do anything wrong, why are you so scared."

Li Duoyu looked at Zhou Xiaoying and grinned: "Comrade Xiaoying, are you an old vinegar altar overturned?" ”

"Just kidding, I'll be jealous, I wasn't jealous when you asked me to write a love letter to her, just such a letter, where would I be jealous."

“

Dear Chen Ziyi,

From the moment I saw you in the playground, I couldn't close my eyes.

The moment you jump up and play volleyball, it's like

”

"Stop, Comrade Xiaoying, I was wrong."

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying directly recite the love letter he wrote back then, Li Duoyu felt that there were countless ants crawling all over his body.

Seeing that she knocked over the old vinegar jar, Li Duoyu had no choice, so he directly picked her up and threw her on the bed.

When a woman begins to be unreasonable.

Then find a way to make her reasonable.

"You're insane, Auntie, Sister Shuihua, and brother-in-law are still outside."

"I don't care."

Not long after, the two walked out with red faces, Li Duoyu had just entered, and came out very quickly, and he had a resentful face when he didn't succeed.

What made Li curious about the fish was that his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng was at the stone bar, bending over and vomiting, and Sister Ah was patting him on the back.

"Sister, what's wrong with my brother-in-law?"

Chen Huiying, who was holding Xiao Tutu on the side, had a bitter face and sighed: "Mingsheng, I'm really sorry, I don't know, you are so afraid of this kind of thing." ”

Li Duoyu seemed to know something, and asked, "Ah Niang, did Lao Lu give you that boat maggot?" ”

Chen Huiying nodded: "I don't know, your brother-in-law didn't dare to eat this, and let him drink a lot of soup boiled with maggots and pork ribs." ”
