Chapter 124 Old Li's Shock

After returning home from the dock.

As expected, Erpai was crying again, because he had done it, and now Zhou Xiaoying was holding him and washing his butt.

Moreover, this boy was extremely uncooperative. When he was holding him, he kept kicking his feet and kept moving his head towards his mother's upper body.

Judging from the situation, I should be hungry again after having a bowel movement.

In order to make it easier to take care of the child, Xiaoying didn't wear any underwear these days. She just pushed the breasts over and wiped his butt with gauze while breastfeeding.

After wiping the child's butt and washing it, Li Duoyu took the dirty water in the basin to a nearby drain and poured it out, then filled two buckets of water to rinse the soiled diaper.

Aniang saw him washing diapers and said quickly: "You have been busy all day. Just leave this by the door and I will wash it."

"Hey, it's easy. Besides, it's too hot. It'll be full of flies after a while."

At this time, Zhu Xiuhua, who had just gone out to pour the bath water, started to click her tongue when she saw Li Duoyu helping to wash the diapers.

Deliberately said to the person in the room listening to the radio:

"Auntie, look at how many fish there are. They also help take care of the children and wash diapers. Unlike some people, when the children grow up, they never help wash them once."

When Li Yaoguo heard this, he turned off the radio on the spot and went back to his room dejectedly.

Chen Huiying on the side said with a smile:

"This is not easy. If you have another child, let Yaoguo take care of the child and wash the diapers. Otherwise, it will end."

The second sister-in-law complained: "I can barely feed myself, how dare I give birth to a baby."

Lao Li, who was sitting on a rocking chair and rocking a cattail leaf fan, said seriously: "If you really want to have a baby, whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll take care of everything for you."

People of Lao Li's generation certainly hope to have as many grandchildren as possible.

"Dad, this is what you said."

Zhu Xiuhua then shouted towards the room: "Yaoguo, your father said that we should have another child, and he will take care of everything about the child."

Li Yaoguo didn't dare to answer at all. Before nine o'clock in the evening, he was lying on the bed pretending to be dead.

Damn, I'm tired of lifting my pants now.

There is no way you can even try to trick me into having a baby.

He always talks nice, and when the time comes, maybe he will be the one who washes diapers and takes care of babies.

Li Duoyu was also on the side, laughing when he heard it. Speaking of it, the second sister-in-law in the previous life had been complaining about his second brother because he only gave birth to one child.

In fact, the second sister-in-law has always wanted to have another child, but the second brother has no desire at all.

Because it was in 1982.

Family planning has already been introduced. As a village cadre, it is natural to set an example and to have as few children as possible if possible.

It just so happened that the town's family planning department would send "planning supplies" to the production brigade every month, and it happened that the second brother was in charge of these things.

In addition, in that era, everyone was relatively conservative, and these things were usually discussed behind closed doors, and few people openly discussed you outside.

And the second sister-in-law is a big boss, and is a sworn enemy of the women's director. She never attended a single class, and ended up using it in a muddle-headed way for several years.

Finally, the moment when the truth is known.

The second sister-in-law chased her second brother for hundreds of meters because she thought she couldn't have a baby, and finally she clamored for a divorce to live on her own.

Every time he thinks of this incident, Li Duoyu can't help but want to laugh.

Seeing that his parents were there, Li Duoyu quickly said: "In a few days, the research institute will transport oyster seedlings over. There are 80 acres of them. By then, we will probably have to ask relatives to help."

Li Zhengtian stood up from the rocking chair on the spot: "80 acres, so much?"

When Zhu Xiuhua heard this, her ears immediately stood up. She had already half-entered the door, but then stepped back.

"Duoyu, you have so many acres of oyster fields, can you give your brother a few acres?"

Lao Li and Chen Huiying frowned on the spot. The daughter-in-law here is so thick-skinned. How can she still have the nerve to say such a thing when the family is divided?

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Okay, one hundred yuan per acre, as many acres as you want."

Zhu Xiuhua was stunned. Why did this brother-in-law only have money in his head? Wasn't what she just said clear enough?

Point, not buy!

When Duoyu said this, Zhu Xiuhua was embarrassed to mention it again. He wanted to give up just like that, but he made so much money raising kelp.

Zhu Xiuhua felt that the oysters might make money this time, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Can you make it cheaper? How about selling us a few acres for fifty yuan."

"That won't work. I have to stick to this price. Because you are one of my own, I will only give you 100 yuan per acre. If it were to be replaced by someone else, it would be at least 150 yuan."

Seeing Li Duoyu's determined look, Zhu Xiuhua frowned and said, "I have to discuss this price with your brother."

When Zhu Xiuhua returned to the room, her face turned black with anger. When she saw Li Yaoguo pretending to be a dead fish, he lifted the quilt on the spot.

"It's so hot, why don't you cover yourself with a quilt?"

After saying that, he stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand and aimed at his waist to twist it.

Li Yaoguo, sensing the danger, jumped up on the spot and held a pillow to block her hand.

"If you have something to say, say it properly and don't mess around, okay?"

Zhu Xiuhua sat on the edge of the bed a little aggrieved: "Yaoguo, do you think this Duoyu is too unkind? We have helped him so much in the past six months. I want to ask him for a few acres of oyster fields. Isn't it too much?"

Li Yaoguo smiled bitterly and said: "Every time we help him, we are given money, and a lot of it."

"Um."

"That's right, we are working for him, how can we call him help?"

Zhu Xiuhua choked for a while, then continued: "But if there were no relatives like us, how could he do that kelp."

Li Yaoguo was speechless. Once a woman gets stuck in a dead end, it is really impossible to stop her.

"If every relative, like you, helps him do something, and asks him to share a few acres of oyster fields, he won't have to do it."

"You and him are brothers, it's different."

"It's brothers, so we have to settle accounts clearly. Didn't you say that to your eldest brother at the beginning?"

When Zhu Xiuhua mentioned his eldest brother, his face darkened instantly.

"It happened so long ago, and you still want to tell me about it, Li Yaoguo, tell me clearly, you deliberately don't want to forget it, right?"

After hearing the two people shouting.

The fat boy Li Haoran came out of the room with his homework book, and shook his head helplessly after seeing Li Duoyu.

"Oh, here we go again."

"Let me call you daddy and mommy, and I'll give you another child. I guess we won't have time to quarrel."

Li Haoran sighed: "Forget it, maybe I'll be the one washing diapers then."

"You kid."

Li Duoyu touched his head: "Tomorrow is a holiday, don't run around, remember to come back at noon, I'll treat you to a delicious meal."

"Really, what to eat?"

"You'll know when you come back."

"It's over, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

The next day, just after dawn.

Li Duoyu took the two bags of oysters hanging on the boat back home.

Old Li, who was about to go out, was also surprised when he saw the big oysters in Li Duoyu's hand, and picked them up to look at them.

"Where did you get these oysters?"

"Section Chief Zhang from the research institute gave them to me. By the way, Dad, I made some oysters for lunch. Remember to come back and eat them together?"

"Yes."

But when Old Li looked at the oysters in Li Duoyu's hand, he became confused: "Wait, give me one to try first. What's the difference between this oyster and the one I raise?"

Li Haoran, who had just woken up, had no idea what it was, so he shouted:

"Uncle, I want one too."

Chen Huiying, who was about to go out with a shoulder pole, urged: "The tide is about to rise. Let's go out first and come back to eat at noon."

Old Li said firmly: "What do you know?"

Seeing that Old Li was getting stubborn, Chen Huiying didn't want to argue with him, so she carried the shoulder pole and went to the oyster field first.

Old Li looked at the two bags of oysters in Li Duoyu's hand, and his brows were almost twisted together. He has been raising these oysters for eight years, but he has never seen such good quality.

This was a little hard for Lao Li to accept. In the past, people on the island always praised him, saying that his oysters were the best on the island.

There were also several stores in the town that would buy his oysters regularly every week.

Over time,

he regarded himself as a professional oyster farmer on the island and often guided the villagers.

But after seeing this oyster today, Lao Li suddenly realized that the oysters he raised were a pile of shit.

The size was more than half that of others, and the color was not as good as others. The most important thing was that these oysters were very clear.

Unlike the ones he raised, each of them had a strange shape and was covered with barnacles.

Seeing his father so anxious, Li Duoyu knocked a few down with a knife: "I was just about to tell him that it can be eaten raw or steamed."

Unexpectedly, his father skillfully pried open the oysters and sucked up the soup and oyster meat on the spot.

This operation made Li Haoran on the side dumbfounded. Although he was a foodie, he really didn't have the courage to do so.

After finishing the meal, Old Li frowned and savored it, then sighed: "The research institute is really good. Will we raise this kind of species in the future?"

"Yes." Li Duoyu nodded.

Seeing that Grandpa looked fine after eating, Li Haoran also took a knife and wanted to pry open the oysters to eat.

Li Duoyu on the side quickly stopped him and said:

"If you eat it, you will have diarrhea."
