234. Chapter 234 The Whole Village Owes Him an Apology

Chapter 234 The whole village owes him an apology

The news that Dai Laoer returned to the island.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the village. After knowing that he returned to the island, everyone was a little at a loss.

When the two brothers fought, more than half of the people in the village participated or were forced to participate. Now I think about it and feel a little ashamed.

A child asked: "Grandpa, who is this Dai Laoer? Why are people so afraid of him?"

Looking at the child's pure big eyes, the old man didn't know how to answer for a while, and didn't want to tell the child what happened that year.

"Dai Laoer, he used to be a primary school teacher in our Dandan Island. Everyone, we have done something to let him down."

The child blinked: "Did you steal the peanuts that were dried by others? Not long ago, I stole two pieces of dried sweet potatoes from Wang Po, and now I am afraid of her."

The old man twisted his ear suddenly:

"You can't steal things, don't you know?"

The child retorted: "Didn't you steal things from Dai Laoer?"

The old man said unhappily: "If we just stole his things, how could we be afraid of him, little brat, stop asking all day, go apologize to Wang Po."

"I won't go."

"If you don't go, you won't have any pocket money this month, and you won't even think about eating a single candy."

Under the leadership of Li Duoyu.

Dai Laoer came to their house.

Old Li, who was resting in the courtyard and listening to the radio, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Dai Laoer.

"Old Dai, why are you back?"

Dai Laoer said unhappily: "It's your Duoyu. He knew I didn't do business with people from Dandan Island, but he insisted on ordering a few signs from me. After they were made, he didn't come to pick them up, so I had to send them to him."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, and suddenly a Japanese word that he often heard when he was a chef in the island country in his previous life appeared in his mind.

"Tired of freeloading".

"It's good that you are willing to return to the island. I thought you would never want to come back in this life." Old Li shouted to Chen Huiying in the room: "Huiying, Old Dai is back. Cook some snacks for us. I want to have a few drinks with him."

The next second.

Chen Huiying, carrying Xiao Tutu on her back, walked out of the room. When she saw the middle-aged man with gray hair in front of her, she was stunned for a long time.

"Old Dai, it's you again. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

Dai Jianguo smiled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. It's been more than ten years since we last met. I feel that you are still as beautiful as before, and you haven't changed much."

Chen Huiying waved her hand:

"How can I not change? I am an old woman, and my face has more wrinkles than a chayote."

Seeing the child Chen Huiying was carrying, Dai Jianguo quickly took out a red envelope wrapped in red paper and a pair of silver bracelets from his shirt pocket and stuffed them into the blanket wrapped around little Tutu.

Chen Huiying frowned and said, "Old Dai, what are you doing? We are all very happy that you are willing to return to the island. Why do you need a red envelope?"

"It's just a little thought. I didn't come back when Duoyu and Xiaoying got married. Besides, the bracelet has been made, and I can't return it."

Chen Huiying sighed, "Okay, I'll cook a few dishes for you, and you can eat here tonight."

Dai Jianguo quickly refused and said, "Sister-in-law, no need. I came back to see you and my eldest brother, and I'll leave soon."

Everyone glanced at the bag of silver paper in Old Dai's hand, and they all understood what he came back for.

"Don't stay overnight, I'll go back immediately."

Dai Jianguo nodded.

Old Li sighed: "Okay, then we won't make it difficult for you."

Li Duoyu said:

"Uncle Dai, you haven't been back to the island for so long, let me walk with you."

Dai Jianguo pondered for a while: "Okay, I heard that you are doing very well now and have become the village director."

Li Duoyu laughed: "Lucky, no one wants to be the village director, so I got a bargain."

"You kid, when did you become so humble? I remember you were so arrogant when you were a child."

"People will change."

After hearing this, Dai Jianguo suddenly became quiet and suddenly muttered to himself: "People do change, but the past can't change."

After hearing this.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. Uncle Dai never returned to Dandan Island until his death in his previous life. He was not naive enough to convince the man in front of him to forgive those people in the past with his personal charm.

Li Duoyu followed him.

Arrived at the end of the village.

I went to see the stone house where their family originally lived. I didn't expect that it was used as a storage room by the neighbor Lao Lu, where various fishing nets and firewood were piled up.

Maybe it was because he knew that Dai Laoer had returned, Lao Lu immediately cleaned up Dai Laoer's house.

Unexpectedly, he had only cleaned half of it. Dai Laoer had already arrived here.

Lao Lu scratched his head awkwardly: "Teacher Dai, when did you come back? I will clean up this house for you immediately."

Dai Jianguo glanced at the old house. It was empty inside. Except for some fishing gear and firewood, there was nothing.

In fact, when he fled the island, their house had been raided long ago, and even the bed was taken away and burned as firewood.

Seeing Lao Lu cleaning there, Dai Jianguo said lightly: "No need to clean up, I'll just take a look, and I won't come back in the future."

"Ah, not coming back?"

Dai Jianguo did not answer, but carried his things and walked towards the back mountain of the island.

On the other side of the island, there were many graves, and Dai Jianguo came to several inconspicuous graves.

What surprised him a little was that

The grave actually has a tombstone.

The weeds around were cleaned up very well. Not long ago, someone had burned paper money.

"Duoyu, is this what you guys are praying for?"

Li Duoyu shook his head: "We are not praying for it."

Dai Jianguo frowned. He probably knew who was coming to pray. He sighed and took out the tribute, silver paper and incense from the bag.

He didn't say a word of missing her during the whole process.

Even his eyes didn't turn red.

After a simple worship.

Dai Jianguo left the tribute at the grave, climbed to a higher place, took a last look at Dandan Island, and said: "Duoyu, you have a boat, right?"

"Yes."

"Then take me back."

"Don't stay overnight?"

Dai Jianguo said: "I have no home, it's not very meaningful to live like a guest."

"Then I'll go back and tell my parents."

"No need, if you tell them, they will definitely find ways to keep me, just send me to Qingkou Wharf later."

Li Duoyu thought about it.

"Okay, I'll take you back."

After the two went down the mountain.

Li Duoyu watched the sampan take Dai Laoer to Qingkou Wharf, and before leaving, Dai Jianguo took out a well-preserved photo from his pocket and handed it to Li Duoyu.

"I didn't see Xiaoying today, you can give this photo to her, maybe she needs it more than me."

After Li Duoyu looked at the photo, he was very surprised. In the photo, he was still very young, and he had no memory related to this photo.

"Thank you, Uncle Dai. I will bother you often in the future."

"Don't come. It's annoying to look at you."

"How is it possible? My business will only grow bigger and bigger in the future. I will ask you to customize the signboard."

"You are getting better and better at bragging. Let's go."

After Li Duoyu returned home.

He gave Zhou Xiaoying the group photo that Dai Laoer gave him. When she saw the people in the photo, she was stunned.

"Where did you get this photo?"

"Uncle Dai gave it to me."

"Uncle Jianguo? He went back to the island. Where is he now?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "He has returned to the town."

Zhou Xiaoying looked at the group photo, especially the two familiar and unfamiliar figures of Da Ao, and her eyes instantly turned red.

More than ten years have passed.

Zhou Xiaoying's impression of her parents has long been blurred. She only remembers that her father always liked to wear a military green suit, and her mother tied two ponytails and played the accordion.

Ever since she could remember, she felt that her parents loved to laugh and liked to make her happy the most.

At that time, she liked her father to lift her up high the most.
