Chapter 444 Whoever Gives You Milk Is Your Mother (1/2)
After Chen Huomu was taken away, the crowd dispersed and went out to sea to catch cloves.
There are only a few days left. Recently, fishermen have discovered that some of the caught cloves are getting bigger and bigger, and some are already five centimeters long.
The little fish is no longer so transparent. The black line on its body has become thicker, and a faint silver can be faintly seen on both sides.
If it continues to grow, it will soon become what the locals call Li Shui Rotten.
This kind of clove fish does not meet Li Duoyu's acquisition standards.
Everyone knows very well that the season of cloves is about to end, and the days of money falling from the sky are about to end.
But what everyone didn't expect was.
When handcuffed Chen Huomu was escorted onto the boat, he uncharacteristically resisted and even attacked two security guards.
He ran away in the direction of Chenjia Village, but before he could run two hundred meters, he was directly escorted back by the villagers of Xiasha Village.
"You bastards, when I come out, I will definitely kill you."
And just when he was talking nonsense, the young people in the village couldn't stand it anymore, and someone put a sack on him.
"Fuck."
“Dog day”
Chen Huomu, who was holding his lower body and convulsing in pain, still had a ferocious expression on his face, threatening to take revenge on those who had just beaten him.
Director Li Mingli frowned when he saw this scene. Judging from his many years of experience in handling cases, Chen Huomu was very different from before and after, and there was probably something wrong with him.
He seemed to be very afraid of going to the police station. In families with domestic violence problems like this, if a woman goes out to work and has no news about her, they will pay more attention to it.
At first, Li Mingli just wanted to detain him for a period of time and release him after he admitted his mistakes and repented, but now it seems that things may not be that simple.
"Cousin, please let me go. I swear I will never hit Shujing again. For the sake of my mother, please let me go this time."
At this moment, Director Li suddenly said: "Where did you hide Zhang Yufang?"
After hearing this, Chen Huomu's pupils shrank suddenly and his face instantly turned pale. Then he immediately changed his face and cursed: "That bitch went out to work and didn't send a penny home. How could I know."
Li Mingli said with a sullen face: "Take him away, and tie his feet with a rope this time. If he dares to run again, he will be knocked on the knee."
"Cousin, we are relatives, please let me go. If you do, I will ask my mother to bring you some Dandan Island specialties."
Li Mingli didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and he had already begun to suspect his wife's whereabouts. He planned to go to Zhang Yufang's house first to explore the situation and see if there was any correspondence.
If there is no contact, we can only use Chen Huomu as a breakthrough.
After the farce ended, Principal Zhu wanted to continue talking to Li Duoyu about the school, but with the two leaders here, he was really embarrassed to speak.
"Director Li, I have put Tieguanyin on your table. I will come back to you another day."
Without thinking, Li Duoyu said: "Principal Zhu, the leader happens to be here, why don't you invite them to visit the school."
Zhu Kaiyun said tactfully: "Boss, I have already visited the school before."
When the superiors decided not to allocate funds to them, the first person Zhu Kaiyun went to was the town leaders.
After he expressed his intention.
Mayor Gao didn't explain much to him. He directly showed him the town committee's public account and the safe.
One word: poor!
When Zhu Kaiyun was leaving, Li Duoyu said to him: "After the clove fishing is over, I will help you mobilize donations from the entire island."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Seeing that Zhu Kaiyun didn't have hope for them, Chen Shulin and Gao Tianyun couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed.
If you have breasts, you are a mother. A town committee member without breasts will be looked down upon.
Next, Li Duoyu invited the two town leaders to the village committee office.
Li Duoyu directly used the Tieguanyin gift from Principal Zhu to make a pot of tea for the two leaders.
Mayor Gao smiled and said: "This tea is good, very fragrant. Principal Zhu gave it to you?"
Li Duoyu nodded.
Gao Tianyun sighed: "It's better to have money. When he came to see us, he brought a few kilograms of fruit."
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "The oranges I ate in the office last time were probably given by Principal Zhu."
Secretary Chen smiled bitterly and said:
"Yes, it was given by him."
After taking two sips of tea.
Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao then explained the reason. They were not here to watch the fun, but came to see Li Duoyu for something.
"The windmill project will officially start construction next week."
Secretary Chen said directly: "A company of engineers has been transferred from above. When the time comes, they will come to help build docks and roads."
Li Duoyu also guessed it. Ever since he saw the leader in military uniform at the meeting, he had already guessed that the soldiers would come to help.
Li Duoyu quickly added tea to the two leaders and said diligently: "Leader, if we need anything, our two villages will definitely support it."
Secretary Chen suddenly became serious: "Actually, Mayor Gao and I came here to put pressure on you. We are required to build the dock and road within two months."
Li Duoyu frowned: "Two months? Isn't it a bit rushed? The construction period of the dock alone should be more than three months."
Secretary Chen nodded: "I know too, but I have received news that the ocean-going freighter transporting equipment has set off and will arrive at us in about two months.
Since these equipments are donated to us, the higher-ups hope that we can speed up the progress of the project and try not to have the situation where the things have been delivered but we haven't done the preparations yet. "
"I understand."
Li Duoyu said seriously: "Okay, I will organize the villagers to help with the construction and strive to complete the task."
Secretary Chen frowned and said: "It's not striving, it's guaranteeing the completion of the task."
"I understand, leader, I guarantee the completion of the task and will not embarrass you or cause you trouble."
Mayor Gao smiled and said: "That's about right. When the time comes, the town will also arrange several experienced masters to come and guide you."
After the tea was brewed four times.
It had no taste. Just when Li Duoyu was about to change the tea, Mayor Gao mentioned another thing:
"Duoyu, the town committee wants to rent a piece of land. Do you plan to take it?"
"Which piece of land?"
"The land near Qixing Bay in the town, close to the sea, and there is also a Qixing River nearby, which is very suitable for breeding. "
Li Duoyu was a little excited, but he was quite calm. That piece of land was definitely a good place.
It used to be the largest eel breeding base in their town. It would be best if they could also contract the sea area at the mouth of Qixing River, because that sea area is very suitable for oyster breeding.
Mayor Gao continued: "It used to be the assets of the commune. When the last term was contracted, this piece of land was originally intended to be used for self-use. It is about one thousand acres."
When Mayor Gao said this, Li Duoyu suddenly remembered that when he "tributed" to Brother Shui, he seemed to have heard him say that he wanted to do some project in Qixing Bay.
Smugglers like them in the early days had more contact with overseas provinces and Hong Kong Island, and their horizons also broadened.
If Brother Shui had not been arrested, the land in Qixing Bay, including the sea area, should have been his.
Seeing that Li Duoyu wanted to make tea, Mayor Gao waved his hand quickly: "Your office doesn't even have tea snacks. You keep pouring tea to us, and my stomach is almost acid reflux. ”
Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "The leader came too suddenly this time, I will definitely come next time."
Mayor Gao lit a cigarette and started smoking: "Many people want this piece of land. I discussed it with Secretary Chen and felt that it would be better to give it to you than to others. At least you are more reliable." "Now the town is in financial shortage and many projects cannot be pushed forward. If there is no other way, it is impossible to rent it out."
Li Duoyu asked: "Leader, how many years do you plan to rent this land?"
"Fifteen years."
"Fifteen years is a bit short. If I use it for renovation and construction, it will take one or two years. By then, it may expire before I have made a few years of money."
Mayor Gao frowned and said: "There is no way. This is the regulation above. If it is longer, we can't make the decision. The county must sign and approve it."
Li Duoyu thought seriously: "I'll think about it."
Mayor Gao said disdainfully: "What else is there to consider? If you think about it again, I will rent it to someone else. ”
“Didn’t you see how disappointed Zhu Kaiyun was with us? If the town committee hadn’t really run out of money, we wouldn’t have rented out the land.”
“I forgot to ask the price. How much do you plan to rent this acre of land?”
“One thousand acres in total, 20,000 yuan per year.”
After hearing the price, Li Duoyu frowned slightly. This price was not particularly cheap.
“Mayor Gao, this price is a bit expensive. Since we are so familiar with each other, can you give it a lower price?”
Gao Tianyun said disdainfully: “I’m giving you the lowest price. I’ll give you one week. If you don’t give me a clear answer in one week, I’ll rent it to someone else.”
“Is there really no room?”
“No, if you keep asking for more, I’ll raise the price to 25 per acre.” ”
Li Duoyu:
But even at this price, Li Duoyu really wants that piece of land.
If he continues to pursue aquaculture, he must go out, after all, aquaculture on islands is limited.
The current fifteen eel ponds are already the limit of Dandan Island. If there is a season with little rain, changing the water will probably be a problem.
From a long-term development perspective, Li Duoyu must rent a piece of land outside, and that Qixing Bay is very suitable, and it is also close to Dandan Island. It takes about 40 minutes to go there by boat.
Li Duoyu plans to first accept Take it.
I don't know why, when I was talking about this land with Mayor Gao just now, a very suitable person in charge suddenly popped up in Li Duoyu's mind.
Sometimes, people are like this, they won't grow without suffering.
Li Duoyu now hopes that she will fall as badly as possible, so that the lesson she will learn will be greater.
After talking with the leader for more than an hour, Li Duoyu sent them to the dock.
After sending the leader away, Li Duoyu found that Zhang Defa was already waiting for him at the dock.
"Director Li, it's time for us to leave. We can't let the old classmates wait too long."
Li Duoyu looked at his watch: "Why are you in a hurry? I haven't eaten lunch yet. Don't classmates have dinner at reunions?"
Zhang Defa frowned and said: "There are also programs during the day. Chen Ziyi said that after we have gathered almost everyone, we should go back to our alma mater to see the teacher, and then take a group photo."
"Okay, I'll ask Xiaoying if she is ready. "
After Li Duoyu returned home.
Zhou Xiaoying was in a bad mood because of Chen Shujing's incident.
"I won't go to this class reunion. You can go. Anyway, we are husband and wife, so two of us can go and one can go."
"This time I have to go back to school to meet the teacher, and there will be a photo session."
Maybe the little girl overheard the conversation between the two, and she came out on tiptoe: "Teacher Zhou, I'm fine. I don't need anyone else to take care of me. You can go and do your own business."
Seeing her coming out on tiptoe, Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said: "My feet are not healed yet, so hurry up and lie down on the bed."
The little girl is very sensible, but she is also worried. Now that she is here, her father has been taken away again, and only her brother is at home.
Chen Shujing mustered up her courage and said, "Teacher Zhou, I want to go home and take care of my brother. My father doesn't know how to cook. My brother may not have eaten since morning."
Li Duoyu looked at his watch and had no choice but to ride the 28th big bar to Chenjiacun.
I went directly to Uncle Tai to show me the way.
When we arrived at Chen Huomu's home, it was a very short and dilapidated stone house with many broken tiles. It was even worse than Chen Wenchao's original home.
Before I even got close, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and there were many bottles stacked next to it.
According to Uncle Tai, Chen Huomu is at the bottom even in Chenjia Village. Even in the village, not many people are willing to associate with them.
At the door of the stone house, there was a little boy of five or six years old. He was as thin as a monkey. He was originally cheerful and lively at his age, but his eyes were dull and lifeless, and he kept looking in the direction of going home.
The little boy's clothes were also in tatters, and he didn't look like a boy, and his face looked dirty.
Li Duoyu took out a handful of sunflower seeds from his pocket and asked: "Kid, is your name Chen Xiaoliang?"
The little boy's originally dull eyes widened when he saw the handful of melon seeds, and he swallowed unconsciously.
"I am Xiaoliang."
"That's okay. I'll give you these melon seeds. Your sister will ask you to come and live with her."
The little boy carefully held the melon seeds, then put them into his pocket, and asked anxiously: "Where is my sister? She was beaten so badly by her father yesterday."
"Kid, do you want to go find your sister?"
"Yes, I miss my sister."
The little boy kept nodding.
"Okay, I'll take you to your sister's place."
When Li Duoyu said this, he always felt a little awkward, and finally understood why children in this era were so easily abducted.
But when Li Duoyu picked up the little boy, he heard the neighbors nearby talking about it.
"This Chen Shujing is such a bastard. She actually sent her biological father in."
When he heard these words, Li Duoyu felt inexplicably chilled. Chen Shujing had been abused by his father, and these people were more or less accomplices.
After seeing his sister, he cried instantly. The two siblings hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Li Duoyu's mother-in-law was also very distressed when she saw the boy: "Why is he so thin? The two children combined do not feel half as heavy as Haoran."
But after picking up the two children, Li Duoyu said to Zhou Xiaoying: "There are many children like them. Can you help?"
Zhou Xiaoying was silent.
She knew very well that what she was doing was wrong, but sometimes people do do stupid things.
Li Duoyu said: "When Director Li was talking to me just now, he mentioned that his family has no children, and since they are also his relatives, he wants to raise these two children."
"Do you think it's definitely inappropriate to live in our house? Of course, if these siblings don't want to leave Dandan Island, I can lend them a scholarship with no interest, but when they grow up and make money, they have to pay it back My money."
Zhou Xiaoying thought for a while: "Let the siblings take a break first. In two days, I will do some ideological work for them."
"Okay, let's go. If you don't leave, Defa will probably rush up and bite you."
Li Duoyu just finished speaking.
Zhang Defa, who just arrived at the door of his house, twitched the corners of his mouth: "You can't say nice things with your mouth."
"Of course I would only say nice things to my wife, not to you."
"Ugh, that's disgusting."
Li Duoyu drove a fishing boat and took Zhou Xiaoying and Zhang Defa to Qingkou Pier to prepare for today's class reunion. (End of chapter)
