352. Chapter 349 The Atmosphere Is Here, It Seems Unreasonable Not to Do Something
After Li Duoyu cranked up the diesel engine, he did not return to the fishing raft, but returned to the island with 250.
The sampan had just parked.
Two Hundred and Five couldn't wait to run to the pier to have fun, lift up his feet, and urinate in various places on the pier to mark.
But not long after, he ran back in embarrassment with his tail between his legs, and behind him were two big dogs, one black and one white, chasing him.
Two Hundred and Five ran up to Li Duoyu.
Li Duoyu glanced at it with disgust and cursed: "Coward, only two dogs are afraid of a hammer."
When Erbaiwu saw his master's disgusted expression, he instantly became fierce. He bared his teeth at the two dogs that were bullying him, and rushed forward, wanting to fight with them.
But after the two dogs saw Li Duoyu, they didn't dare to go forward, recalling the horror of being dominated by him when they were young.
The pain of being hit by a slingshot was still fresh in their memory. Just as Two Hundred and Five rushed forward, the two dogs turned around and ran away.
Seeing them being scared away, Erbaiwu thought he was very powerful and chased after them with a bared teeth. However, he only dared to chase them for a certain distance and did not dare to stray too far away from his master.
When he returned to Li Duoyu, he kept rubbing at his feet and making hey-ee-ee sounds.
It seemed like he was trying to please Li Duoyu.
Li Duoyu touched the dog's head and said, "Go and play by yourself. Don't be afraid of fighting. But when you see that black bitch, you must run away. Do you know?"
Erbai Wu didn't understand Li Duoyu's words at all, but he understood the gesture to tell him to go away. He spread his legs towards the village square, carrying the dog's legs all the way.
Today is Zhou Xiaoying's birthday. Li Duoyu plans to buy some delicious food at the pier and go back to cook a big meal for her.
Xiaoying's favorite thing to eat is blue crab. Although the two grew up together, their tastes are quite different.
Li Duoyu likes to eat soft things, such as squid, tofu fish... and porridge.
But Zhou Xiaoying is different. She likes to chew hard things very much. The claws of blue crabs are like melon seeds in her mouth.
When you bite it in your mouth, it's like an agouti eating a crab, chewing the crab in half.
Li Duoyu, on the other hand, had nothing to do with the hard things like blue crabs. Several times when he ate blue crabs, the sharp points on his body pierced his mouth.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoying didn't have the habit of biting people. Otherwise, Li Duoyu would have shuddered just thinking about it.
After scanning around the pier, Li Duoyu found Zhao Erniu squatting in the corner of the pier selling blue crabs.
As before, Zhao Erniu was covered in mud. He was probably digging blue crabs in the mangroves again.
The cave of this thing is very deep. If the ground cage cannot catch them, it will have to be dug.
Li Duoyu took a look at Zhao Erniu and felt that if he wore a pair of glasses, he would look a bit like an anchor who specialized in digging crabs in his previous life.
Just a bit thinner.
His face is not as round as his.
But Zhao Erniu looked a little strange today. His right eye looked like a panda after being hit, and the left side of his mouth was also swollen.
When Li Duoyu was buying green crabs, he couldn't help but ask: "Er Niu, did you two brothers fight with someone again?"
Zhao Erniu weighed the two blue crabs that Li Duoyu bought. He looked not in a good mood and felt very disappointed.
Without answering Li Duoyu's question, he said mechanically: "Brother Yu, now blue crabs weigh one pound and eight cents, and these two weigh one cent each."
Old Lutou on the side sighed: "Duoyu, you don't know yet. The two brothers have been fighting for several days and almost broke up the family. Now they are splitting up."
Li Duoyu blinked. Don't the two brothers have a very good relationship? Why did they suddenly quarrel and break up?
As the village director, Li Duoyu was very obliged to understand this "gossip", so he asked Lao Lutou.
"Lao Lu, what happened to these two brothers?"
Lao Lu replied: "Duoyu, maybe you went out to sea to fish a few days ago and don't know yet, but almost everyone in our village knows about it. These days, it's really exciting, every day is like a show.
These two brothers have been quarreling for seven or eight days and have to fight every day.
"
After hearing what Lao Lutou said, Li Duoyu was also shocked. He didn't expect that the two brothers would end up fighting each other because of a widow from the next village.
No wonder Li Duoyu hasn't seen Zhao Dahai in the past few days since he came back. It turns out that he went to Chenjia Village to work as a licker for others.
Old Lutou snorted coldly: "My family Yanyan is so good, but she actually looks down on her and spends all day being courteous to a second-hand commodity."
Zhao Erniu on the side had a dark face: "Don't talk nonsense, okay? I don't like that Widow Chen. It's just that Dahai has a bad brain. People can make money by cutting in, but he not only gives money but also helps others with all kinds of work." They are clamoring to separate the family and take away the sampan and the newly purchased house.”
"If you don't like widows, then why don't you consider Yanyan? Dahai has taken away the boat and the house. I can buy them for you and build you a two-story house."
Zhao Erniu replied firmly: "I'm still young and don't think about it."
Old Lu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "You young people, what's going on with each of you? What's wrong with my Yanyan?"
Li Duoyu frowned slightly. If what Zhao Erniu said was true, Zhao Dahai was indeed a little confused.
But when Li Duoyu thought about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with him. Although Zhao Dahai was in his early thirties, he was still a youngster in a sense.
The kind that could burn with just a touch of a match stick, and the other one was a very experienced widow.
Li Duoyu felt that it was normal for Zhao Dahai to lose his mind when they were together.
One was hot-tempered and the other was thirsty. After getting together, they felt that they could lose their minds.
Li Duoyu whispered to Zhao Erniu: "Is that widow beautiful?"
Zhao Erniu blushed slightly: "Not very beautiful, but very charming. I don't know how to describe it. It's just that when I'm with her, I feel very comfortable."
Li Duoyu understood instantly. No wonder Zhao Dahai lost his mind and the two brothers fought.
"By the way, Erniu, when will there be the most blue crab seedlings on our island?"
Erniu thought for a while and said, "The most will be in the middle of next month. By then, there should be a lot of blue crab seedlings in the mangroves."
Zhao Erniu asked in confusion, "Brother Yu, what do you want blue crab seedlings for? Do you want to do breeding?"
Li Duoyu didn't say it clearly, "When the time comes, I may have to trouble you brothers to help me catch some blue crab seedlings." Zhao Erniu gritted his teeth and said, "You can just call me for this kind of thing, no need to call that bastard Dahai."
"Okay..."
When Li Duoyu returned home with the blue crabs, A Niang was holding Xiao Tutu in the courtyard. When she saw him, she was lectured on the spot.
"Come back early for lunch. If you don't have time to eat like this, your stomach will be damaged sooner or later."
"I know."
"There is salty rice in the pot and fish soup in the iron pot. It's still hot. Hurry up and eat."
After Li Duoyu finished his meal, he wanted to play with Xiao Tutu, but was scolded by A Niang again.
"You just came back from outside, you are all dirty, don't get the dirt on Tutu."
Li Duoyu returned to his kitchen and originally wanted to make a Chinese birthday cake for Xiaoying. With his skills, it is no problem to make a cake without cream.
After all, in this era of total Westernization, cakes have also subtly entered the lives of wealthy people in big cities, and they are often seen on TV.
But Li Duoyu didn't plan to be so formal, just want to keep it simple. After all, Xiaoying usually doesn't even put on makeup, so cooking a table of her favorite meals for her is the most practical.
In the evening, Zhou Xiaoying rarely came back earlier than Xiao Pangdun. When she got home, she found that Li Duoyu had prepared this table of dishes for her.
After seeing her favorite blue crabs, she was surprised: "Is this a surprise for me?"
Li Duoyu asked: "How is it, you like it."
"Yeah."
Zhou Xiaoying nodded.
After hearing what Li Duoyu said in the morning, Zhou Xiaoying smiled all day long. The students who were afraid of her felt that Teacher Zhou was particularly amiable today.
Her colleagues could clearly sense that something was wrong with her and thought she was pregnant with her second child.
Zhou Xiaoying also thought of many possibilities for the surprise Li Duoyu mentioned.
She just didn't expect that he would cook a meal for her. Although it was a bit unexpected, she was really touched.
After all, on this island, men are all chauvinists and will never celebrate a woman's birthday.
After Zhou Xiaoying finished eating the blue crab and was about to wash the dishes, Li Duoyu stopped her and took out the imported fabrics that he had bought earlier.
After seeing these imported cloths, Zhou Xiaoying blinked her big eyes: "When did you buy them? Where did you hide them? Why can't I find them?"
"You found them, what kind of surprise is that?"
Li Duoyu laughed and said: "During this period, you should have someone make two sets of nice clothes. After the summer vacation, I will take you back to my hometown."
Zhou Xiaoying was stunned and her eyes were red. So this was the surprise. She looked at Li Duoyu seriously and kissed him lightly.
Then she touched the cloth. It was very smooth. She knew it was expensive. She subconsciously wanted to remind him not to spend money recklessly, but she swallowed it back as soon as she said it. It was really a bit disappointing to say such words at this time.
What Zhou Xiaoying didn't expect was that Li Duoyu took out another thing she didn't recognize.
Zhou Xiaoying asked curiously, "What is this?"
Seeing that Xiaoying had never seen this thing, Li Duoyu said casually, "This is a small record player."
"What is it used for?"
"It's specially used for listening to songs."
"It's so small, it doesn't even seem to have a speaker, how can you listen to songs?"
"You'll know if you try it, come and put your ears close to it."
Li Duoyu put on headphones for her, and after hearing the sound coming from the headphones.
Zhou Xiaoying was startled and blinked her big eyes: "What is this, how can the sound come out of it?"
"This is called headphones."
Zhou Xiaoying frowned, this little thing touched her blind spot in knowledge.
"Do the telephone operators know that they are wearing this thing?"
"But that one is very big, and this one is so small."
"This is the latest technology of the island country. It is small so it is easy to carry. If you want to listen to music, just put this thing in your bag."
Zhou Xiaoying suddenly said seriously: "Duoyu, this thing is very expensive."
"It's not expensive, just a few dozen yuan."
Zhou Xiaoying was a little unconvinced: "But those three-in-one machines for listening to music are hundreds of yuan."
"The smaller, the cheaper."
"Really?"
"If I lie to you, I will do 500 push-ups on the bed."
...
At night, everyone on Dandan Island lit kerosene lamps. Since the blackout, everyone went to bed early.
And in Li Duoyu's bedroom.
The flame of the kerosene lamp was dancing.
The atmosphere was very good. The two of them stared at each other in bed, neither of them wanted to sleep. Li Duoyu felt that the atmosphere was so bad that it would be unreasonable not to do something.
Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "Where did you get the tape in your Walkman?"
Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? Why did he forget to take out the tape?
Li Duoyu gritted his teeth and told the truth: "The boss gave it to me when I bought the Walkman." (End of this chapter)
