1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

209. Chapter 209 I Can’t Fit Into Any More Clothes

Chapter 209 Clothes are almost full

Liu Yun, who was taken on board, felt mixed emotions when he saw Li Duoyu using his family's fishing boat to transport oysters.

Suddenly, he felt stupid. He was not here to steal oysters, but to deliver the boat to others.

Li Mingli from the town police station got off the boat and greeted Li Duoyu after seeing him return to the port.

"Director Li, I haven't seen you all morning. Come to the station when you have time. Secretary Chen has been talking about you recently."

Li Duoyu saw the director of the police station and quickly jumped off the fishing boat and came to him to apologize:

"I'm sorry, the oysters were cut last night. I went to deal with this with my family early in the morning. Do you want to go to the village committee to make tea?"

Director Li waved his hand.

"Next time, there are people on the boat now, it's a bit inconvenient." Li Mingli glanced at the oysters on the boat and couldn't help saying, "It seems that your oysters are well-raised, and thieves are eyeing them."

Li Mingli had just finished speaking.

Li Duoyu hurried to the boat and cut several strings of oysters. After filling two baskets, he moved them directly to the iron boat.

Li Mingli said seriously: "Director Li, this won't work. Secretary Chen will criticize me when I go back."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Then let's taste it with Secretary Chen to see if this kind of oyster is delicious. Maybe we can expand the breeding business of our town."

Li Mingli was stunned.

This was the first time he saw someone talk about giving gifts so seriously.

"Okay, then we will accept it. When the time comes, Secretary Chen must taste it carefully. Let's go."

Before leaving, Li Duoyu hurriedly reminded: "When steaming oysters, remember not to steam them for too long. If they are old, they will not taste good. Dip them in garlic sauce to taste better."

Liu Yun and Xie Daqing on the iron boat looked at Xiao Weidong hatefully after seeing that Li Duoyu had such a good relationship with the police station chief.

"Xiao Weidong, damn it, your village director has such a good relationship with the police station chief, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"How would I know?"

Liu Yun and Xie Daqing felt that they were both cheated by this guy. If they knew that Li Duoyu had such a strong backing, they would not dare to steal his oysters even if they had a hundred guts.

After the iron boat left, Xiao Weidong's parents saw that Li Duoyu had such a good relationship with the police station chief, and walked towards him.

Before they opened their mouths, Li Duoyu said, "I can't help it. Don't beg me. Besides, as the village director, I can't start this."

The nearby villagers who were watching echoed, "You stole the oysters from our village director, and you still want the village director to plead for you. Where is your face?"

"If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. I understand this simple truth. Your Xiao Weidong is in this situation because you spoiled him."

"Village director, don't let Xiao Weidong go. That bastard who beat his wife should go in and reflect on himself."

Although there are many men in the village who often say "If a woman is not obedient, just hit her twice."

But in the village, the number of men who have really beaten women can be counted on one hand, and most of them have reasons.

Xiao Weidong is a gambler who beats his wife for no reason. He is the only one in the village. To be honest, everyone looks down on this kind of loser.

Not long after.

Everyone's attention was on the fishing boat seized by Li Duoyu.

"This boat is really new. Director Li, why don't you just seize it? I don't think they dare to come to our island to ask for it back."

"It would be better to confiscate it and make it an asset of the village committee. In this way, we can rent it to everyone."

"That's a good idea."

Zhang Guifen in the crowd saw that everyone was thinking about this boat, and her face was not very good, but she was embarrassed to tell everyone that her family had also invested in this fishing boat.

About one-tenth of it.

But I didn't expect that the little bastard Liu Yun would steal the boat and steal oysters.

What really made Zhang Guifen angry was that shrimp fishing is obviously very profitable now, and the price of sea shrimp is much more expensive than oysters.

The price of a pound of sea shrimp can be sold for 40 cents, and after being dried into shrimp, a pound can be sold for about one yuan.

His nephew, as long as he honestly follows his parents to catch shrimp, it is definitely not a problem to make thousands of dollars a year.

But why did he lose his mind and drive such an expensive fishing boat to steal other people's oysters?

Zhang Guifen looked at Duoyu and wanted to say something, but she couldn't. After all, except for her, everyone else in their family was surnamed Li.

The whole family, including her husband and children, clearly stood on Li Duoyu's side in this matter.

And during this period, everyone was taken care of by Li Duoyu. The eldest son Li Shuguang also cooperated with Li Duoyu in the sea fishing business.

He also learned to raise kelp and oysters from him. Now the whole family is very confident.

She didn't want to make both parties unhappy because of Liu Yun's incident.

Zhang Guifen sighed. It's good that such a thing happened. Liu Yun was indeed spoiled by his parents.

Speaking of which, this matter was really thanks to Li Duoyu. If it happened in other villages, if such a thing happened, if the person was not beaten to death, it would probably have one or two hands cut off.

It's good that the person is fine.

At least their family has tried their best in this matter.

Seeing so many people gathered at the dock, Li Duoyu simply shouted with a loud speaker: "Fellow villagers, do you want to pry oysters? I have a lot of oysters here."

"How much do you want? How do you calculate it?"

"It's cheap, we won't pry it."

Although everyone was stubborn, they all liked to work for Li Duoyu, because he paid a high wage and was easy to talk to. Unless they met someone who was particularly excessive, he would not deduct other people's wages at will.

"The wages will definitely not be low, but I have requirements."

Li Duoyu picked up a palm-sized oyster on the spot and demonstrated it in front of everyone.

"Each of our oysters is the size of a palm, and the price is relatively expensive, so you have to be careful when prying oysters, you can't pry them broken, and the oyster column must be pried clean."

Those who were going to pry oysters said, "The requirements are so high, so we have to pay more."

"No problem, if you pry well, the wages for 100 kilograms will be 40 cents, if you don't pry well, you will only get 30 cents for 100 kilograms."

Hearing that prying 100 kilograms will get 40 cents, the women who often pry oysters on the dock rushed to sign up on the spot.

"I'll sign up for one."

"Village director, I'm very good at prying oysters. Your mother and I have been doing it for more than ten years. I guarantee that we can get all the oysters intact for you."

Liu Xiaolan said to Chen Wenchao beside her: "Hurry up and tell Brother Yu. My mother and I will also sign up."

Chen Wenchao grinned and said: "No, I'll arrange it for you directly."

Liu Xiaolan smiled and said: "Sure, it's great. Some things can be decided by yourself."

Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Some time ago, I asked Brother Yu about all the big and small things, but he scolded me."

After hearing this.

Liu Xiaolan was very happy, but frowned and said: "You don't have to report other trivial matters to Brother Yu, but things related to us, especially those involving money, must be reported to Brother Yu, do you understand?"

Zhu Xiuhua, who wanted to dig a pond after watching the excitement, was instantly moved when she heard that 100 kilograms would earn 40 cents.

She was digging a pond over there, and with Li Yaoguo and two others, they only earned 4 yuan after working hard all day.

She is also good at prying oysters. If she wants to, prying a thousand kilograms a day is definitely not a problem.

If Li Yaoguo helps there, he can earn six yuan a day. If he works for a month, plus Li Yaoguo's salary as an accountant.

That's two hundred and twenty. In this way, all the money lost from investing in abalone some time ago will be earned back.

But when Zhu Xiuhua took the basket and went to the fishing boat to get the oysters, Lao Li didn't intend to give it to her.

"Why don't you go dig a pond? Why come here?"

"The wages are high here."

Lao Li couldn't help but preach: "You are like this. You always like to take advantage of small opportunities. You run to where you see more money. Look at those who dig ponds for us. Do any of them give up their jobs there and come here because the wages are high here?"

Zhu Xiuhua suddenly felt wronged: "But I have been doing physical work and feel stronger and stronger. These days, I can't wear clothes at home anymore."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu and Lao Li looked at each other.

Li Duoyu really didn't expect that his second sister-in-law would also have body anxiety.
