Chapter 475: You Can’t Work on the First Day of the New Year, Otherwise You Will Work in Vain for the Whole Year (1/2)

No matter how threatening the stone was, the things inside would not come out.

"If you don't come out, I'll stab you."

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Shitou was young and energetic, so he directly stabbed the incense table with a wooden stick.

Li Duoyu held the wooden stick high, and the two pig ears were torn off. It didn't look like they were bitten by dogs. For him, people were more dangerous than dogs.

With a scream,

It seemed like someone hit his head on the bottom of the table, and then crawled out in a panic. When he saw Li Duoyu and Shitou, he immediately wanted to run away.

Unexpectedly, the person hiding inside turned out to be Stinky Foot. He was holding a piece of cooked pork belly in his right hand and had unfinished pig ears stuffed in his mouth.

The other hand was holding a small sack with a lot of things in it.

"Stinky feet, you hide here and steal things."

Shitou became angry instantly. Seeing that he was about to run, he kicked him on the waist and knocked him to the ground.

The stingy foot cursed: "Hey, Shitou, are you sick? Why are you always having trouble with me?"

"You dare to steal the tribute, put it down for me."

Stinky Foot said sternly: "I have already asked Mazu, I can eat these tributes."

"Fuck your motherfucker."

Shitou was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and kicked him again. The pain caused his feet to spit out the contents of his mouth.

"Stone, I will fight you tooth and nail."

The veins on his stinky feet bulged out, and he grinned, looking like he was about to fight.

Shi Shi picked up his cuffs: "Come on, for a skinny monkey like you who doesn't work all day long, I'll give you one hand."

Li Duoyu looked at Stinky Feet and found that this guy had lost a lot of weight compared to the last time he saw him.

After being cut off from his source of income, Stinky Feet has become much more at ease. Although he has gone to see Company Commander Zhang these days to ask someone to help him investigate who stole his dog.

But for a person like him, no one was willing to help him. Zhang Erhu just said a few words and dismissed him.

Li Duoyu also heard that after he could not make money with dogs, he began to try to make money from Xiaohai, but no fishmonger took what he caught.

Nowadays, the whole village dislikes him very much, just like a rat crossing the street. No one is willing to help him. The only one in the village who is willing to help him is Defa.

It seems that two days ago, Stinky Foot ate seafood indiscriminately, which made his stomach full. He ran to the public toilet more than 20 times a day, and then he just squatted all the time.

The smell made everyone choke, and Defa, who learned about this, was afraid that if he continued to pull it, everyone would become dehydrated, so he gave him some gastrointestinal anti-inflammatory pills for free.

Seeing how miserable he was now, Li Duoyu felt that this man had suffered his own consequences and was not worthy of sympathy at all.

He has a good life, but all he does is report him all day long, as if dragging everyone down will make him feel better.

Seeing that Stinky Feet was just showing off, he didn't dare to fight him at all. Shitou looked at him with contempt and tried to snatch the strip of pork belly from his hand.

Unexpectedly, this guy licked it with saliva and took a bite, with a ferocious look on his face.

"I've already licked and bitten this meat. If you try to snatch it again, you'll have to touch my saliva."

Even Shitou was disgusted by him. To be honest, he really didn't want to slap this stinky foot at all.

The last time I beat him with a sack, there was a film of oil on my fists, and the smell was particularly disgusting. I had to wash it with sulfur soap for a long time before the smell was washed away.

Just when Shitou felt sick, Stinky Feet saw that he had let down his guard and ran outside.

After running out of the Tianhou Palace, he did not forget to concentrate on disgusting the stone: "The teacher Shanshan you like was also licked by Xiao Weidong like this. You, like that Zhao Dahai, like to break shoes."

After hearing this, Shitou became angry instantly: "I'm just kidding you. Do you want to die? I'll make it happen for you."

Unexpectedly, Stinky Feet didn't even take two steps. He tripped over something and fell heavily to the ground.

"I asked you to be a bitch and steal tribute. You deserve to be thrown to death."

The fallen Stinky Feet still held on to the pork belly and the contents of the bag, and rolled and crawled away from Thean Hou Temple.

Li Duoyu came to the place where the smelly feet were hiding, opened the covering of the incense table, and found a lot of wrapping paper and orange peels under the table.

Judging from the situation, Stinky Feet must have been hiding here for a long time, and he probably had the New Year's Eve dinner here as well.

Li Duoyu checked the time and saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning. Being so troubled by this matter, Li Duoyu had no intention of sleeping.

He directly picked up the broom and started cleaning, sweeping out the garbage from under the incense table.

Shitou was guarding Thean Hou Temple with a stick, fearing that Stinky Foot would kill him and continue to steal the tributes from Thean Hou Temple.

Not two hours.

The sky was slightly brighter, the sky was azure, and a crimson glow shot out from the other side of the sea, reflecting the entire sea surface beautifully.

Even if Li Duoyu is from an island, he rarely sees such gorgeous scenery, and people are like this, they will become very happy when they see beautiful things.

It’s just so damn cold.

Li Duoyu rubbed his hands. In the winter along the coast, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large. It really freezes both hands and feet.

There is not a single fishing boat on the sea. There seems to be a saying: You can't work on the first day of the new year, otherwise you will work in vain for a whole year.

The general meaning is that after working hard for a whole year, you should have a good rest during the first days of the new year and stop thinking about work.

Li Duoyu stretched his body. As soon as the genius was revealed, many people were already coming to pay their respects carrying the sacred basket.

"Director Li, thank you for your hard work."

An aunt who Li Duoyu didn't know very well took out a piece of cake from the magic basket and handed it to him.

"You must not have had breakfast yet. My steamed cakes are very delicious."

Another aunt also said, "My handmade noodles are also pretty good. Would you like to take some home and eat them?"

Li Duoyu waved his hands quickly, and at this time, Lao Li came to the Tianhou Palace: "Next, I'll just take a look. Your mother has cooked fish porridge for you, so go back and eat it quickly."

Li Duoyu ate a bowl of fish porridge with pepper, went home, took a simple shower, and planned to go to bed.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoying would stay in bed.

It's true that he doesn't work on the first day of the new year, but it always feels unjustifiable if he doesn't do something on such a great day. That's when Li Duoyu started to act carelessly.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

A small voice made both of them freeze. Li Duoyu turned his head mechanically and looked at Xiao Tutu who sat up and stared at her two big eyes.

Li Duoyu made a bitter look on his face and cursed secretly: "When did this brat wake up?"

Zhou Xiaoying was so embarrassed that she got back into bed and put on her clothes neatly.

Li Duoyu was much thicker-skinned, and started talking nonsense on the spot.

"Tutu, your dad is just doing push-ups."

"What are push-ups?" Children at this age are full of curiosity about everything.

"This is an enjoyable exercise, just hold it with both hands like mine, and then go up and down."

When Zhou Xiaoying heard this, she gave Li Duoyu a hard squeeze. This man was really getting more and more crooked as he got older.

After getting dressed, Zhou Xiaoying smoothed her hair and quickly changed the subject: "Tutu, do you want to drink malted milk? I'll make it for you."

When she heard about malted milk, little Tutu's eyes opened even wider: "I want to eat it, I want to eat it."

"Then get up quickly and don't stay in bed like your father."

"When did I stay in bed? I just didn't sleep last night, okay?"

After getting dressed, Zhou Xiaoying quickly made a bowl of malted milk for Xiao Tutu, hoping that he could forget everything he saw in the morning.

Li Duoyu took a nap, and when he woke up, he was almost ready to have lunch.

In the courtyard, Li Xiaorong led a group of children to play with rubber bands.

"Little leather balls, bananas and pears, Malan blossoms twenty-one.

Two five six, two five seven,

"

After just two jumps, Li Haoran stepped on the line. Li Xiaorong frowned: "Haoran, can you be more diligent? Xiaoyun and Xiaolin have both jumped to six. We can't even jump to two." Li Haoran had a look on his face. Helpless, he doesn't want to play this game at all. With his weight, he is already very good if he can jump to the second level.

Little Tutu also wanted to go in and play, but he was too young and couldn't participate at all. He could only sit on the bamboo chair and stare.

Sister Shuihua, elder sister-in-law Jiang Yuqin, second sister-in-law and Xiaoying just formed a mahjong table.

The pregnant sister-in-law is obviously better at poker and has more money on the table than the others.

Zhou Xiaoying, who had lost her novice aura, was thinking carefully about the cards, but as soon as she played a card, her sister-in-law immediately lost her temper.

The second sister-in-law complained: "Playing blindly, how can such a good card be played? The elder sister-in-law obviously only listens to the three-five-seven pie."

Zhou Xiaoying was dissatisfied and said: "But I also listen to the cards. If I don't play this one, how can I play it separately?"

The second sister-in-law said speechlessly: "Everyone has already listened to the cards. Sister-in-law has a strong card, we can't let her win."

Sister-in-law Jiang Yuqin has already started playing mahjong and urged: "Okay, hurry up and play the next game."

The second sister-in-law frowned and said, "No, we have to change seats. I'll sit next to Xiaoying, and you, sister-in-law, will sit next to me. Otherwise, Xiaoying will keep feeding you, and Shuihua and I won't be able to win."

"sure, no problem."

Jiang Yuqin smiled. To her, the three of them were all rookies. No matter where she sat, she could eat them to death.

After changing the position.

Zhu Xiuhua was also very confused. Zhou Xiaoying turned into an iron rooster and refused to feed her a single card.

It turned out that she kept blowing firecrackers for her elder sister-in-law. Zhou Xiaoying said slightly angrily: "Second sister-in-law, how can you play such a good card and play firecrackers?"

Zhu Xiuhua really wanted to repeat what Zhou Xiaoying just said, but thinking about how she never seemed to win against her sister-in-law every time they quarreled, she decided to forget it.

Li Duoyu discovered that Jiang Yuqin's daughter Xiaomin seemed a little unable to fit into this small group.

As a child in the city, she is quite different. Her clothes are obviously much prettier than everyone else's, and her skin is different from the children on the island, white and tender.

Perhaps because of her mother, this girl is quite good-looking. Perhaps because of good nutrition, she seems to develop much earlier than other girls of the same age on the island.

Unlike Xiao Pang Dun, who is lazy, Xiao Min is self-disciplined and finishes her homework very early.

I am the kind of student who takes the initiative to answer questions. During these days on the island, I almost spend all my time in a room doing test questions.

After all, the high school entrance examination is coming up next year, and the academic pressure is still quite high.

After coming to this house for so many days, her favorite is her sister-in-law Li Xiaorong, because she is really good, and she can easily solve the questions that she does not understand.

He could also explain it to her very clearly, and she felt even better than her teachers. Previously, Xiao Min had been hesitating whether to take the exam for a key technical secondary school, or continue studying in high school, and then go to university.

After discussing it with Li Xiaorong, she decided to continue high school and then pass the college entrance examination.

Because Li Xiaorong only told her one sentence: "Technical secondary school students are indeed very popular now, but there are more and more college students. If there are equal opportunities, college students will definitely have an advantage."

Apart from Li Xiaorong, the one she likes most is Uncle Li Duoyu, because he really loves to laugh and is very good to children.

In addition, she was very curious about why Uncle Duoyu could teach Japanese lessons so well.

Xiao Min also particularly liked to listen to him talk about his experience of visiting island countries. Every time he listened, he felt very excited and full of yearning for foreign countries.

And she also wanted to jump rope, but she couldn't jump. After all, when she was a child, she had a factory manager father, and the children in the factory didn't dare to play with her at all.

But compared to jumping rope, what she wanted to do most when she came to Dandan Island was to go to the beach to pick up shells and catch those small seafood.

The last time I came here, I was in a hurry and left after only two days. Although I stayed longer this time, everyone seemed to be busy all the time, especially Uncle Duoyu, who seemed to have been elected as the boss again. I have never been embarrassed to speak, so I hide in my room and do test papers every day.

Seeing that everyone was idle today, including Uncle Duoyu, Pan Xiaomin finally plucked up the courage and said, "Uncle Duoyu, can you take me fishing?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Do you like fishing?"

Pan Xiaomin nodded and said, "I like fishing and going to the beach to catch those small seafood."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and decided that since he had nothing to do today, he might as well take these children to play.

"Okay, just wait for me and I'll make two fishing rods."

When he heard that he was going fishing, Li Haoran, who was still skipping rope, stopped immediately and shouted: "Uncle, I want to go fishing too."

Li Xiaorong raised his hand: "Brother, make me a fishing rod too. I haven't fished for a long time."

Chen Huiying on the side saw that Li Xiaorong had been playing with these children since he came home, and couldn't help but muttered: "You are almost ready to get married, why are you still acting like a child?"

Li Xiaorong smiled and replied: "As long as you are not married, you will always be a child."

Seeing that so many children wanted to go, Li Duoyu said: "If you want to fish, you have to dig up sea centipedes first. Which one of you will do it?"

Xiao Min said a little horrified: "What is a sea centipede?"

Xiao Pangdun said quickly: "Sister Xiao Min, sea centipede soup is very delicious, and it is especially easy to catch when used for fishing."

Li Xiaorong smiled and said: "Brother, you get the fishing rod first, and Haoran and I will go digging together. I'm really good at digging this thing."

Xiao Min also said: "Then I will go too."

Xiao Pangdun glanced at her, and then said: "Sister Xiao Min, you can't dig sea centipedes with us in a skirt like this. Do you have any more torn clothes?"

Xiao Min shook her head: "No."

Little Fatty frowned and said, "If not, just watch my sister-in-law and I dig on the shore. Otherwise, if you wear this outfit and go to the tidal flat, you will turn into a mud man when you come back."

After Li Duoyu made the fishing rod, Li Xiaorong also caught a lot of sea centipedes and came back. Xiao Min was fine when he went there, but when he came back, his face was pale.

It was so long, had so many legs, and was slimy. How could such a terrifying thing taste good? Even if she had a hundred courages, she would not dare to drink the soup made by it.

Seeing that they were about to go out without taking him with them, little Tutu looked pitiful and rolled on the ground.

"I also need to go."

Seeing that Xiaoying was still playing mahjong, Li Duoyu directly picked up Xiao Tutu and took him out for a walk.

Li Duoyu did not take them fishing by boat, but came to the pond. Unexpectedly, he met Xiaojin who was fishing here.

"Xiao Jin, you are fishing."

"I've caught a few already."

After seeing Li Duoyu, Xiaojin, who has now become an employee of Minlong Company, still doesn't know how to say hello.

I wanted to call him "Brother Yu", but his father said that he is your boss now and you can't keep calling him Brother Yu.

"Boss Fish, okay."

"I caught a lot of fish today."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. There seemed to be another strange title, but Boss Yu sounded pretty good.

"If you're here, just in time, help me sort out these fishing rods and fishing lines, and find out where the good fishing spots are around here."

Xiao Jin quickly said: "This is the place where I catch the most fish. I often make nests here, and you guys catch the best here."

However, from time to time, he glanced at the beautiful girl in the skirt and couldn't help but become very nervous.

He really couldn't control himself, he just couldn't help but want to peek at her.

What he didn't expect the most was that Brother Yu said casually: "Xiao Jin, I have to take care of the child. It's Xiao Min's first time fishing, but she doesn't dare to string sea centipedes. You can teach her how to fish later." , help him skewer the sea centipede.”

Xiao Jin could clearly feel his heartbeat, but he didn't dare to get too close to the girl.

Seeing that the fishing rod in the girl's hand was a bit shoddy, Xiao Jin was a bit incoherent.

"Your fishing rod is too bad and can break easily. My fishing rod is very good. You can catch big fish with my fishing rod."

"No, you can use it yourself. Uncle Duoyu made this one for me. It's different. Just help me skewer the sea centipede later."

"All right."

Xiao Jin didn't understand why. It was obviously just an ordinary conversation, but why it made people so disappointed and sad.

This was the second time he had this feeling in the past 18 years. The last time was when his father broke his fishing rod and threw it into the fire. (End of this chapter)
