171. Chapter 171 A Fishing Boat in the Bay, a Homesick Veteran

In just over a month.

The beginning of winter is coming soon.

Li Duoyu will not be able to enjoy himself for many days.

By then, not only will he have to collect and sell the three-year-old oysters, but he will also have to replace all the brown ropes and start raising kelp.

There are also young eels, which will arrive around December.

Li Duoyu must set up the eel farm during the time when the young eels arrive.

And young eels are very picky eaters. They are not willing to eat feed at first, so they have to find something called red worms for them.

It is the small red worms that twist and turn in the stinky ditch, which are the larvae of midges.

Li Duoyu remembers that the price of this kind of red worm was very high in his previous life, and one catty could be sold for thirty or forty yuan.

Some people who use technology to catch red worms can earn thousands of yuan a night, and the huge profits have led to some people who specialize in catching red worms.

Due to the special geographical environment of Dandan Island, the number of red worms is very small. If you want to catch red worms, you have to hire people to catch them.

The next month or so was probably the busiest time for Li Duoyu since he came to this world.

On the fishing boat, since he changed to fishing in the flowing water.

Li Shuguang finally experienced the fun of fishing, and because of the encounter with the red snapper school.

Li Shuguang and Chen Wenchao caught fish almost as soon as they cast their hooks.

This time they really enjoyed fishing, and they were addicted to the fun of fishing, which made Li Qingguang, who was helping to scoop up fish, feel that he was good again.

Looking at the red snappers that filled half of the deck.

Li Duoyu roughly calculated that the two people caught nearly 300 kilograms of red snappers in these two hours, and it felt that they were about to catch all the fish in one pot.

Li Duoyu specialized in bottom fishing for grouper, and together with the big grouper he caught earlier, he caught a total of seven groupers.

During the period, he also caught a big red snapper weighing more than ten kilograms. Unfortunately, in this era, red snappers are not particularly valuable.

It is only a little more expensive than large yellow croaker, and the purchase price of fishmongers is about fifty or sixty cents.

At about 2:30 pm, a metal boat appeared in their sight and drove towards them quickly.

After seeing the metal boat.

Li Shuguang immediately put away the fishing rod, came to the cab of the fishing boat, and took out a "good guy" wrapped in sackcloth from under the cabinet.

He shouted to Li Qingguang:

"Qingguang, don't stay outside, come inside."

"What's wrong, brother."

"Don't talk nonsense, come in quickly."

Li Duoyu frowned and looked at the metal boat getting closer and closer.

In his previous life, when he was smuggling goods, what he feared most at sea was not the anti-smuggling boats and fishery administration boats, but encountering "his own people".

When it was just opened, there were many road bullies on land who blocked the road and robbed, and there were also many pirates who wanted to get something for nothing at sea.

However, it is not so easy to rob at sea.

Pirates often pretend to be weak, lie to you that the fishing boat is broken, and try every means to lure you, saying that there are many good goods on the boat, and you will be rewarded if you help them repair the boat.

In short, they are trying to make you let down your guard. Once they board your fishing boat, they will immediately show their fangs.

And the robbery at sea is often very cruel, most of which are sinking the sea and blowing up the ship.

This also leads to everyone being very taboo when going out to sea, getting too close to unfamiliar fishing boats, and when the fishing boats are resting at sea at night, there must be people on duty to prevent pirates from boarding the boat in the dark.

But what everyone didn't expect was that this iron boat was very enthusiastic and ran parallel to them until it was only ten meters away.

An old man in his sixties or seventies appeared at the bow. He was wearing a pair of flowered pants and a pair of slippers.

There was also a teenager behind him, who looked like a grandfather and grandson.

When the old man saw them, he greeted them enthusiastically: "Young man, are you from the mainland?"

"Don't be scared, we are not bad people."

But no matter how the old man shouted, Li Shuguang ignored him, and even started the fishing boat, trying to stay away from the iron boat.

See this fishing boat wants to leave.

The old man became anxious: "Don't leave yet, I'm really not a bad guy, I just want to ask you for something."

In fact, the moment he heard his Taiwanese accent, Li Duoyu had already ruled out the danger.

After all, the Overseas Province at that time was one of the four little dragons, and the economy was very good. The fishermen there should be more afraid of them and would not take the initiative to approach them.

But today, he happened to encounter a weirdo. Li Duoyu looked at the iron boat and felt that it would cost at least 70,000 or 80,000. Isn't he afraid that we will rob his fishing boat in turn?

Li Duoyu said:

"If you have anything to say, tell us directly, the boat doesn't need to get so close."

The old man hurriedly said: "It's like this, I used to be from the mainland, and I was deceived to the Overseas Province. Can you help me send a letter to my family?"

Li Duoyu was stunned. Why didn't he think that the old man had such an identity just now? Fortunately, he didn't have any crooked thoughts just now, otherwise he might be beaten into a hornet's nest. He has really fought in a war.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "Is your letter okay?"

"Of course it's okay. It's just an ordinary family letter. I haven't sealed it with glue yet. You can take it out and read it, or I can write a new one in front of you."

After the old man finished speaking, he tied the envelope to an empty conch shell and threw it at Li Duoyu's feet.

Li Duoyu opened the letter and took a few glances at it. Although the old man's handwriting was not pretty, the content inside caused Li Duoyu "extreme discomfort."

——

To Xiumei:

…

——

It's so damn sensational. This old man must be a romance novel writer.

He also stayed in the island country for many years in his previous life, and he was very clear about the pain of homesickness and missing family members.

After seeing Li Duoyu read it, the old man said: "Is there no problem? I really wrote it for my wife.

When the word wife was mentioned, the old man fell silent because he had no way to guarantee whether his wife and children were still alive or whether he had remarried.

Therefore, in the letters, I did not dare to write the word wife, but directly wrote her name.

Li Duoyu nodded and said: "No problem, it's a normal letter. I can send it for you."

Hearing that this young man was willing to send a letter for him, the old man was so excited that he trembled: "Thank you very much."

The young man behind him also looked happy: "Grandpa, finally someone is willing to send it for you."

The old man touched his head:

"I've told you, there are still a lot of good people in this world. Don't tell your grandma when you go back. Do you know?"

"knew."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he was instantly slapped in the face, because the young man in front of him said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's quite risky for me to send a letter for you. If the organization finds out, I might have to stay in jail."

The old man understood instantly and took off his watch: "Is this imported watch from an island country enough?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and pointed to a machine on the other side's fishing boat: "I want this water pump."

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched and he struggled for a while: "I can give you this water pump, but you must send me a letter to know if it's there."

"That's for sure. I am also the head of a village."

The old man cursed in a low voice: "You are the village chief, and I am the township chief."

After Li Duoyu took over the water pump, he said, "Uncle, do you have Vasami on the boat?"

The old man was shocked: "How do you know this thing?"

"I just went to the island country on a business trip not long ago and I ate that thing."

The old man suddenly realized:

"No wonder you have such a good fishing rod."

Not long after, the old man took two tubes of green toothpaste-like stuff, and a bottle of black stuff.

"I only have so much on board. I made this soy sauce myself. You can try it. It tastes very good."

"Thank you, thank you."

The old man had tears in his eyes: "You're so polite. I am the one who should be thanked. You must send me a letter."

"I know, you don't have to keep stressing, do I look like that kind of person? By the way, do you have ice on the boat?"

Veins popped up on the old man's forehead. If he didn't need his help delivering the letter, he really wanted to beat this young man.

"Yes, I'll get you a bag."

Since it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, there was no further communication between the two parties. Otherwise, if the fishery administration really discovered it, the outcome would not be much better.

The two parties simply waved goodbye, and the old man left his contact address.

On the way back, Li Qingguang surrounded the machine that Li Duoyu had begged for and asked, "Brother Duoyu, what is the use of this machine that person gave you?"

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "This is a good thing."

Immediately afterwards.

Li Duoyu gently pulled the damper and pulled the machine. Li Qingguang was startled as the rumbling sound sounded.

"Is this a diesel engine?"

"This is a gasoline engine."

"How much does it cost? How could he be willing to give it to you?"

"Because I'm a good person."

Chen Wenchao said seriously: "I also think Brother Yu is a good person."

Li Shuguang on the side was very speechless.

After Li Duoyu started the water pump, he threw one of the water pipes into the sea, and then picked up the other end of the water pipe.

The sea water was pumped up and sprayed on the deck. Under the huge water pressure, the fishing boat became clean instantly.

Li Duoyu didn't want to collect the old man's reward, but he accidentally saw this water pump on his boat.

I really want it.

In addition, the economy of overseas provinces is so good now that a water pump is just a sprinkler for them.

But it's different here in mainland China. If this thing were made in China, it would cost you one or two thousand.

Li Qingguang looked at the water pump with envy. If he had known earlier, he should have been braver. Maybe this machine would be his now.

"Brother Duoyu, wash your feet for me."

Li Shuguang also envied his cousin, but wealth came at a risk, so he didn't have the guts to contact the old man just now.

After learning the old man's true identity, Li Qingguang said with a puzzled look: "He misses home so much, his wife and children, why doesn't he just run back?"

Li Shuguang couldn't help but patted his head: "The affairs of adults are not as simple as you think. Didn't you see that there is a child next to him who is similar to you?"

"You can tell at a glance that a family has been re-established there."

"ah."

Li Qingguang asked in shock: "What about his wife and children here?"

"Ask me, I'll ask who to go to."

Li Duoyu glanced at the sea not far away. There was obviously nothing there, but there was an invisible wall.

So that in future generations, whether it is fishing boats or airplanes, they will have to go around "it".

In the cab, Li Qingguang was curiously studying the two tubes of green toothpaste, and squeezed some to try what the toothpaste tasted like.

He burst into tears instantly.

"Brother Duoyu, what the hell is this? My eyes and nose are hurting." (End of this chapter)
