Chapter 35 Preparing to Go to Sea (Please Read Later)

After Li Duoyu came to his uncle's house, he found that it was really different from other families.

At this time, most people in the country were still struggling to make ends meet, but his family had already entered the era of electrical appliances.

Ceiling fans, imported three-in-one machines, double-door refrigerators, Hitachi color TVs, double-drum washing machines and leather sofas.

The total cost of these appliances, calculated based on Zhou Xiaoying's salary, would take ten years of not eating or drinking to afford them.

In this era, his uncle's family was already a "ten thousand yuan household". If the money was not dirty, they would probably hang big red flowers, set off firecrackers, and celebrate in newspapers.

After Li Duoyu entered the house and just sat on the leather sofa, his uncle picked up the electric kettle (hot water kettle) to make tea and asked:

"Duoyu asks you something, has your uncle Chen Dongqing told you that there will be big moves during this period?"

Seeing his uncle asking this, Li Duoyu understood a little bit. He told Li Yujun that he would not sell the goods, but in fact, he still had plans.

Li Duoyu told him the actual situation directly:

"There will be a big move soon, and the people are almost in place. We just need a chance to catch him."

Hearing this news, Li Zhengfa's hands shook unconsciously: "Is your news reliable?"

Li Duoyu sighed:

"Uncle San, to be honest, I didn't intend to persuade you. If you really think that the meeting was just for us, then just ignore what I said."

Uncle San frowned and thought for a while.

"Forget it, I really feel something is wrong during this period. Let's just avoid the limelight first."

And Li Duoyu really wanted to tell his uncle that no matter whether you avoid the limelight or not, you will be targeted in the end.

For a big trafficker like him, the people on Dandan Island who are jealous of him can form a company. When the crackdown reaches their village, he will definitely be liquidated and can't escape at all.

But if you stop now, it will be much better than being caught on the spot. Remember that those who were caught on the spot were sentenced to heavier sentences.

In the previous life, the Third Uncle's family was quite lucky.

They were never caught on the spot, but they were still reported by someone. Later, all their assets were taken out, and all the imported electrical appliances in the house were confiscated, so they were not arrested and sent to jail.

Li Zhengfa sighed, and then said:

"By the way, Duoyu, your kelp should not be so soon to seed."

"Not yet, it will be around the end of October."

"That's quite a long time. It's the season for swimming crabs now. If I don't sell the goods, I might go out to sea to get some swimming crabs first. If you have nothing to do these days, do you want to come and help for a few days? I will pay you by the day."

Li Duoyu's eyes lit up. He did plan to find something to do during this window period. It was impossible to weave nets and mend nets, and Lao Li's oyster field could not make money.

I had thought about the Third Uncle before.

But the Third Uncle really made too much money.

Li Duoyu was not sure whether the Third Uncle would come to earn this hard-earned money. He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to mention it today.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. By the way, how long does it usually take for you to go out to sea?"

Uncle San thought for a while: "If it's near the sea, it will take about five or six days. The fishing boat will sell the fish directly at the nearest dock wherever it fishes."

"Five or six days, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I have to go back and discuss it with my family."

Uncle San nodded: "If you come, uncle will pay you five yuan a day."

"No, you can't break everyone's rules. You should take as much money as you should. I don't want to take advantage of you."

"Okay, the fishing boat may set off in the next two days. If you plan to go, hurry up and prepare, bring an extra set of clothes, a small quilt, and everyone sleeps on wooden boards. The conditions are quite difficult, you have to be mentally prepared."

"I know this."

After chatting with Uncle San, Li Duoyu glanced at the room next door. Grandma still closed the door and didn't seem to plan to come out to see him.

In fact, Li Duoyu didn't have many memories about her. Grandma almost never went out because of her bound feet, and she only mended fishing nets at home.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Duoyu had seen her only a few times. To be honest, he used to hate this old lady because she never had a good face to their family.

In his previous life, when he was in prison.

The old lady had Alzheimer's disease and passed away in a few years.

Li Duoyu didn't know whether her relationship with Lao Li was restored in the end, but Li Duoyu felt that it was unlikely.

Because among all the children of Grandma, his father Li Zhengtian's temper was the most similar to hers, both of them were hard, smelly and stubborn.

And when Li Duoyu was about to leave home.

The door of the old lady's room opened.

The old lady still looked unhappy, but she walked in front of him with something in her hand.

"If you go out to sea with us, you can take this thing. After all, you are also a descendant of our Li family, and everyone has one."

After the old lady stuffed the thing into Li Duoyu's hand, she immediately returned to the room and closed the door again.

Li Duoyu frowned on the spot when he looked at the silver longevity lock in his hand. This lock was not new, but had been there for a while, and there were two small words under the four words "longevity".

"Duoyu."

Seeing this, Li Duoyu was a little absent-minded.

In the previous life, Li Duoyu did not give her any chance, and the old lady could not take this step, but in this life, it seemed a little different.

Uncle San patted Li Duoyu on the shoulder.

"Keep it, don't argue with her, the old lady seems to have a bad memory recently."

Li Duoyu glanced at the old lady's door again, then put the longevity lock into his trouser pocket and left his uncle's house.

To be honest, the old lady suddenly did this, which made him a little overwhelmed, but the person who tied the bell must untie it, and they had to solve it themselves in the end.

After returning from his uncle's house.

Li Duoyu handed the longevity lock to Zhou Xiaoying, which scared her.

"When did you make this lock?"

"I'll go to my uncle's house, and the old lady will give it to you."

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned and didn't react for a long time: "Is it grandma?"

"Who else could it be except her."

Zhou Xiaoying still didn't believe it, because this matter was more incredible than Li Duoyu's sudden change of temperament and becoming obedient.

"What else did the old lady say to you?"

"Nothing. After giving me the lock, she went back to her room."

Next, Li Duoyu said to Zhou Xiaoying:

"By the way, I have something to discuss with you. Next, I plan to go out to sea with my uncle to catch swimming crabs. It may take half a month."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying was stunned and frowned for a while, but after a while, she asked calmly: "When will you go out?"

"It should be in the next two days."

Zhou Xiaoying suddenly said seriously:

"Then you must have a good rest in the next two days, go to bed early, and don't toss around everywhere, otherwise you will be very tired on the fishing boat."

Li Duoyu was also very obedient.

He went directly to the well to take a shower and washed his whole body. After returning, he closed the bedroom door.

Then, he turned off the lights.
