In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

"Dad, the temple eunuch is here to see you." Little Tutu yelled, and Erbaiwu also barked.

The temple keeper is quite familiar with the kid Xiao Tutu. Last year, Li Duoyu was the boss, and this kid has been causing a lot of trouble in the Tianhou Temple, causing him a lot of worry.

But he was good in every way, but people just called him temple eunuch, which made him very uncomfortable.

He knew very well that little Tutu was just a child and didn't really call him "grandfather", but the name was indeed unpleasant.

Speaking of which, there really was a eunuch who came to Dandan Island back then. During the great escape, it was said that a eunuch who followed Cixi fled to their side.

By the time they arrived at Dandan Island, they had already reached the end of their rope. In order to survive on the island, they finally found a secret recipe that was "very effective after taking it."

After so many years of turmoil, no one knows who has the secret recipe.

Hearing the sound, Li Duoyu walked out of the kitchen, still wearing Zhou Xiaoying's apron, holding a large kitchen knife in his right hand, and his hands were covered in blood.

After seeing the temple keeper, Li Duoyu was surprised and asked, "Shanbo, how come you have time to come down the mountain?"

For the temple keeper, coming down from the Tianhou Temple is not much different from "going down the mountain". If there is no major event, he can stay in the Tianhou Temple for at least half a year.

Anyway, every time the villagers worshipped, they would leave some offerings for him to eat, so he was the one in the village who least had to worry about food and clothing.

When Li Duoyu saw the old man carrying a suitcase next to the temple keeper, he was slightly stunned. When he saw him for the first time, he always felt that he looked familiar.

"Sanbo, who is this?"

To be honest, the temple keeper was really frightened by Li Duoyu's outfit. His hands were covered in blood and he was holding a big kitchen knife.

This is normal for fishermen, and most likely they are killing fish. But it is indeed inappropriate to meet guests like this.

"Duoyu, go wash your hands first, don't scare the guests."

Li Duoyu finally reacted and laughed, "I'm sorry, I was just killing a big fish and my hands are all covered with it."

Li Duoyu was indeed killing a big fish. His eldest cousin caught a big black croaker weighing more than 40 kilograms.

This kind of fish is mainly used to obtain fish maw. In the past, most of the large fish maws came from this kind of fish.

Before the isinglass was removed, a fish this big could be sold for 70 or 80 yuan per pound. But after the isinglass was removed, no one wanted it even for 8 yuan per pound.

But fish maw is not popular yet, and Li Duoyu is the only one collecting it in the town.

Li Duoyu went to the kitchen, put down the knife, and then washed his hands. Shanbo seldom went down the mountain unless there was something important. At his age, apart from having enough food and clothing every day, he had no desires.

Today he actually brought a guest to see him, which made Li Duoyu quite curious.

After arriving at the courtyard, Little Tutu took credit and said, "Dad, this old man was stopped by Dahei just now, and I helped him chase him away."

Li Duoyu touched his head and said, "Yes, you are getting better and better."

After inviting the people in, Li Duoyu did not rush to ask about the old man's identity, but made tea for them.

"Wait a moment, I'll go boil some water."

After the old man sat down, he immediately opened his suitcase and took out a round tea box: "I have some high mountain tea here, do you want to try it?"

Hearing about high mountain tea, Li Duoyu was a little surprised, and then asked: "High mountain tea from overseas provinces?"

The old man was also very surprised. When the man heard about high mountain tea, he said, "You know this kind of tea."

"Someone gave me some. This tea is very similar to the Tieguanyin in our province. It tastes very good."

"That's it."

After the temple keeper sat down, he asked, "Duoyu, is your father home?"

"He is in the kelp field now and may not be back for a while."

The temple keeper glanced at Li Hanmin. Although only the younger generation was present, he couldn't help but say, "Forget it, I'll tell you straight, this person in front of me must be your fourth uncle."

"what!!"

Although it felt a bit weird, Li Duoyu was still shocked after hearing this: "Shanbo, you are not kidding, right?"

"When have I ever joked?" The temple keeper said seriously, "The person next to me is your fourth uncle Li Hanwen."

Li Duoyu laughed out loud. Although it was brought by Shanbo, he didn't dare to recognize it casually.

The main reason is that there was a misunderstanding before, and I don’t know whether it was my uncle or my third uncle who leaked it. Last year, two so-called "fourth uncles" really came to me on their own initiative.

If we have to say, it is a relative of their family who wants to stay on Dandan Island. Fortunately, there is still the second uncle, so there is no extra cheap relative.

I can only say that it would have been fine if Li Duoyu had not been famous. But after he became famous and rich, all kinds of monsters and demons came to him.

In addition to the fake fourth uncle, there was also the great aunt and so on. In short, all kinds of distant relatives came to visit him, making him very annoyed.

But to be honest, the person in front of me looks somewhat like my second uncle, so maybe it's true this time.

But what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that the old man in front of him carefully took out a black and white photo from his suitcase.

Li Duoyu took it and looked at it carefully. The edges of the photo were all worn away, leaving only the middle part, which had a crease.

This is an old group photo. In the middle of the photo, there is a middle-aged man wearing a hat and braids, and next to him stands a typical woman of the Republic of China.

There are five young people standing around, three boys and two girls, although the pixels of the photo are blurry.

But the guy in the middle is wearing exactly the same hat as the guy in the ancestral hall, and even his expressions are very similar.

The old man pointed to the youngest boy and said, "I don't know if you have this photo. The youngest one in it is me."

Li Duoyu looked at the people in the photo, and one of them really looked like his second great-uncle.

Li Duoyu had heard something about his fourth uncle. There were pirates near Dandan Island back then.

Fishing boats would be robbed as soon as they went out to sea, and fishermen were forced to stay on the island, where they could only grow sweet potatoes and pick some clams, barnacles, oysters and abalone to eat.

But that stuff had no oil or water and was not enough to fill you up. The villagers on the island were hungry every day, and then the war became more and more intense.

Some people went to their island to distribute leaflets, with the slogan saying that if they followed them to fight, they would have food to eat and silver dollars to receive.

At that time, people were so hungry that they were stupid. They had no idea how cruel the war was. Many young people without families joined the war without hesitation.

It seemed that the youngest was eleven or twelve years old. In short, they went to the island to recruit soldiers several times and took many people away from the island.

Fourth Uncle also left during one of the recruitment campaigns. In fact, Taigong was rich at that time.

But their family had fled here, and in this chaotic world, even if they had silver dollars and small yellow croakers, they dared not use them at all.

If used properly, it can indeed provide enough food to eat, but if used improperly, it can be a disaster.

The temple keeper also said, "Duoyu, don't worry, you can wait for your second uncle to come back. The man in front of you is really your fourth uncle, not a fake."

Li Duoyu scratched his head: "Hello, Fourth Uncle."

Not long after, Li Duoyu started using the second largest landline phone at home. To be honest, this thing is quite useful.

Now the second brother's handbag was placed on Lao Li.

"Dad, you come back first. It seems that our fourth uncle has really come back this time, and he has a photo of my great-grandfather." Old Li, who was tinkering in the kelp field, frowned and cursed after hearing this.

“When I had no money, I didn’t have any relatives. Now that I have money, everyone wants to be their relative.”

Old Li drove the boat back, and when the two men stood together, he found that they really looked a bit alike, except that this fourth uncle looked even younger than his father.

When seeing the photo, Lao Li's hands were shaking because he had seen this photo when he was a child.

However, due to the separation of the family and various turmoil, this photo was lost. The person in the middle of the photo was indeed his grandfather.

"Really Fourth Uncle?"

The temple keeper said speechlessly: "I don't need to see to know that you two look very similar, especially the nose and ears."

The old man looked at the middle-aged man who looked very similar to him and couldn't help asking, "Are you Nian Tian?"

"No, I'm Zhengtian."

The old man scratched his head and said, "It's the third child. When I left, you seemed to have just been born. You probably have no impression of me."

When he heard the word "third child", Lao Li was obviously silent. He had heard from his father that he was not the second child, but the third child.

He had a second older brother, but he died shortly after birth. No one mentioned this matter afterwards, so he became the second child.

If he knew about this, it couldn't be fake. Old Li looked at Li Duoyu with disdain: "The tea is cold, why don't you go and boil some water? This is your dear fourth uncle."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly. Even though he was very powerful now, he still got scolded by Old Li from time to time.

"By the way, did your eldest uncle and second uncle just go out to sea? Is there any way to contact them? If so, ask them to come back quickly, otherwise they will be out for several months."

Li Duoyu called the radio station directly: "Hello. I am Li Duoyu from Dandan Island. Could you please call Minrongyu 056 on your channel and tell them that the fourth uncle has returned from overseas and ask them to hurry back."

After learning the news that day, all the Li family members who were still on the island gathered together, including the relatives from the second uncle's side.

Many onlookers also came to watch: "Could it be another fake relative this time?"

"No, this time there are even photos, so it should be real. And they look so similar, it's obvious that they are from the Li family."

Lao Mi was also shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect that this time it was a real relative. The person who asked him before was really Li Duoyu's relative.

It was only at this time that he found out that Li Duoyu's great uncle was actually called Li Hanlin. It was no wonder that such a big name was given to an old smoker, so he was always too embarrassed to tell others his name.

A lot of people gathered at Li Duoyu's house that night. When Li Haoran saw the old man, he was so surprised that his jaw dropped to three folds.

It turned out that the old man carrying the suitcase on the boat was really his relative. No wonder he looked familiar, he looked a bit like grandpa.

Everyone brought chairs and listened to the old man talk about what happened that year.

The fourth uncle said slowly: "When I left, Zhengtian had just been born, and there was a famine on the island and pirates were everywhere on the sea.

My fourth uncle said that he had no idea what army he had joined at that time, he just knew that he had to run around every day for a living.

In the end, we discovered that we didn't fight many of the Japs. They were all fighting our own people. Many people in the team who tried to escape were caught and ended up in a miserable way.

Later, I was forced onto a boat without knowing why, and then I was rounded up in a place, squeezed into a bamboo-fenced house with several strangers. I lived there for many years before I finally found a job and lived a stable life. ”

After listening to the story of the fourth uncle, everyone couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the journey had been much more bumpy than staying on the island.

Li Duoyu asked: "Fourth Uncle, you have been in the overseas province for so many years, have you found an aunt for us?"

After all, Shitou's grandfather was also forced to go to the overseas province, but in order to make a living, he has reunited his family there.

When Fourth Uncle left, he was already a bachelor. The probability of starting a family there is higher. He also has the excellent genes of the Li family and is quite handsome. There must be many girls who like him.

Seeing Li Duoyu asking this, the old man was stunned for a while, and then said: "No, I am still single."

"what!"

Everyone present was stunned. Li Haoran was even more surprised and said, "Grandpa, you have been living alone all these years."

The old man smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't help it. The conditions are too bad. I can only live alone."

Li Duoyu glanced at his fourth uncle. Judging from his lonely expression, things were probably not as simple as he said.

Since Fourth Uncle was unwilling to say, Li Duoyu was too lazy to ask.

That night, although the relative who had returned from overseas did not have much money, he still gave red envelopes to many people present. Each envelope contained at least 100 yuan in foreign currency, even to children.

In fact, his salary was really not high, and the older he got, the less he earned. He brought back all the money he had saved over the years.

Because the overseas provinces are also promoting all day long that people in the mainland are eating grass roots, going hungry every day, and how backward they are, etc.

Li Hanmin originally thought that if his relatives were not doing well, he would give all the money to them and return to the overseas province to continue making money.

Anyway, for him who has no children, there is no point in keeping the money, so it is better to help his relatives in mainland China.

But when he actually arrived at Dandan Island, he found that the publicity from the overseas province was really exaggerated, and life on the mainland was still okay.

On the table, there are lobsters, abalone, and even shark fins, as well as braised pig's trotters, blanched prawns, and grilled eels.
If these things were placed in overseas provinces, they would be considered luxurious ingredients, but here on Dandan Island, they seem to be free.

Li Hanmin was very happy to see that his relatives were living so well.

Almost two days later.

The eldest uncle, who received the news from the radio, came back in his fishing boat. When the second uncle saw the fourth uncle, his eyes were red on the spot.

The two hugged each other tightly.

Next, under the leadership of his second great uncle, the fourth great uncle paid homage to his parents and brothers on the northern slope of Dandan Island.

As for Li Sande, after he got off the boat, he kept following his fourth uncle, muttering about red envelopes and the like.

But the embarrassing thing was that since there were a lot of people that night, Fourth Uncle had already distributed the money, so he didn't get a separate share.

This made Li Sande depressed for a long time. The last time his overseas Chinese relatives from Southeast Asia came back, he didn't get any.

This time when his fourth uncle from the overseas province came back, he still didn't get it. He was so angry that he ate a pound of prawns at Li Duoyu's house that night to vent his anger!
As both sides got to know each other better, this fourth uncle from the overseas province was really scared by his relatives from the mainland.

It turns out that the Minlong was Li Duoyu, and the Director Li mentioned by the villagers was also him.

Soon, he was taken to visit Li Duoyu's Minlong Company, the island's eel factory, shrimp ponds, 4,000 acres of kelp fields, aquatic product processing plants, and Qixing Bay breeding base.
Fourth Uncle's face was full of joy and shock. He really didn't expect that his relatives from the mainland would be so successful.

At this moment, he was relieved!

After showing Fourth Uncle around, Li Duoyu suddenly said, "Fourth Uncle, if you haven't started a family over there, you might as well not go back and stay on the island."

Hearing this, the old man was silent for a long time: "I'm over there, I still have some things to pack."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said playfully: "Fourth Uncle, when you were young, you must have been as handsome as me. Is there any emotional debt that you haven't settled yet?"

Li Hanmin glanced at him.

"What are you thinking? When I was young, I was much more handsome than you."

"Hahaha." (End of chapter)
