The 22-year National Day holiday will last for seven days, and the bustling days will last for seven days.

The National Day holiday in 1982 was only three days. Only the working people did not have holidays, students, workers, and urban people who ate commercial grains.

But fishermen on the outer island will live a more relaxed life in these three days. There will be no fishing flood, and relatives in the city will take a vacation, so the family who pays the bill will take this opportunity to visit relatives.

The members of Tianya Island are also busy paying off their accounts.

Today, Wang Dongbao and Xiang Yuhuan and his wife took leave, bought things from the store and exchanged them for a few food coupons, packed up and took their son Wang Xinmi to go to their parents' house and pay the bill.

Ma Liu brought back a red gift bag from Shanghai. The ordinary nylon cloth bag with the word "Happy" printed on it and the big red flowers. It looks very rustic but very festive. Now it is a special gift bag for the team to pay back the accounts.

But the gift bag is not big enough, so if you use two, Xiang Yuhuan is reluctant to let it go. This is a cloth bag, which looks so beautiful, and I really don’t want to give it to people too much.

So she was busy packing things to find ways to save space as much as possible. She was busy like this and that, and became angry.

What became even more angry was that neither her own man nor her child came to help. She looked back angrily and saw her own man squatting at the door smoking, and her son was holding a book and chanting.

When her son was studying, she was not angry, so he scolded her man: "Your mother, you smoke, you know how to smoke all day long. You should live with cigarettes, don't live with us mothers."

Wang Dongbao was stunned: "I started calling the first cigarette early in the morning. You said I didn't mess with you, why did you get angry? When you went to your parents' home today, why were you still angry?"

Xiang Yuhuan was speechless when he asked, and said, "I'm in a hurry to go out. Didn't you see how busy I'm doing? You're still smoking!"

"After smoking this cigarette, come and help me. You said you are the same. You even smoked a cigarette - hey, with a filter? Are you going to live?"

Wang Dongbao said: "What do I mean by my life? I keep smoking dry tobacco on weekdays. Isn't this why I bought a few boxes of filters with filters today?"

"I will definitely give your father and your brothers a cigarette when I go. At that time, I will take out a pack of unopened new cigarettes and look so bad. It makes people wonder what if I deliberately took a pack of cigarettes with filters to show off?"

Wang Xinmi asked, "Dad, then aren't you going to buy cigarettes to show off?"

Wang Dongbao said: "No, I'm not embarrassed. You don't know who your eldest and second uncles are!"

Xiang Yuhuan said, "My eldest brother is indeed proud. Since he found a job in boiler burning in the county, he has made him very popular. But my second brother has nothing, right? My second brother is just a little snobbish."

Wang Dongbao said: "Yes, you also know that his child's second uncle is snobbish. Last year, he paid the bill because he brought less gifts and lighter. He asked him to hold a gun and a stick to get a good scolding."

"I'm enough. I've collected all the gifts this year, so I can't tell him any more."

Thinking of the faces of the relatives at home, Xiang Yuhuan couldn't help but smack his lips.

She thought for a while and said, "Although I'm going back to pay off the debt today, it's Hong Yinglai's son-in-law. Her son-in-law is from the city. My eldest and second brothers will definitely be restrained and will not scold you with guns and sticks."

When Wang Dongbao heard this, he stood up and said, "Dare they! I have prepared five kilograms of light mooncakes, five packs of biscuits, and meat, food coupons and canned food. Why should they scold me?"

"And this year we are filial to your parents, and we also brought a new blanket - what a good blanket, we are not willing to cover it myself."

Seeing her husband getting angry, Xiang Yuhuan became angry and said angrily: "They are both big, what's wrong with scolding us young?"

Wang Dongbao pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "The big one is not an elder, even if the elders can train people for no reason?"

"I'll call Teacher Wang down. Teacher Wang knows a lot and has great ability. Let's ask him to judge the truth. Is it okay?"

When Xiang Yuhuan heard that her husband wanted to call Wang Yi, he became much more depressed: "No, they didn't scold you for no reason."

"I used to be a bad family, but the gifts I brought when paying the bill were too light. They thought we were stingy and didn't pay attention to relatives."

Wang Dongbao said, "But this time we bring all the gifts. If they scold me again, I can't bear it."

"Wife, I'm giving you ugly things here. If they treat me as a grandson, I'll get angry on the spot!"

Xiang Yuhuan said angrily: "Why are you angry?"

Wang Dongbao also said angrily: "I will report the matter to Teacher Wang and the captain, and I will ask our Wang family to be fair to me!"

This time, it not only involves Wang Yi, but also Wang Xianghong.

Well, the team has all the leaders.

Xiang Yuhuan suddenly became depressed: "If they shouted to you this year, I'll help you go back."

"Besides, I said that today is the first time that the son-in-law of Hongying City has arrived. In this way, my elder brother cannot shout at you. After all, this is his son-in-law. He has to pay attention to his image and not let the people in the city look down upon him."

After hearing his mother's words, Wang Xinmi was curious and interrupted and asked, "Mom, my sister Hong Ying really found a city man as a son-in-law? Then my uncle didn't brag before, and he kept saying that he wanted Sister Hong Ying to go to the city to eat commercial grain."

"Your sister can't eat anything," Wang Dongbao curled his lips, "Commercial grain is so delicious? Your uncle is just a temporary worker in the county. He hasn't eaten commercial grain yet, and he is still thinking about letting his daughter eat commercial grain?"

Xiang Yuhuan was not willing to be outdone: "I asked, Hong Ying's son-in-law and my elder brother are from brothers. They are native city people. They serve iron rice bowls and eat commercial grain. Hong Ying can eat commercial grain with him!"

Wang Dongbao is too lazy to argue with his wife.

However, Wang Xinmi asked in confusion: "Mom, what is a native city man? Are city mankind also native?"

Xiang Yuhuan rolled his eyes and said, "Go to read your book. By the way, I will take down your two certificates and bring them with me..."

"You're going to be overwhelming, it's not embarrassing." Wang Dongbao sucked his cigarette butt and laughed, "Just bring photos with you, don't bring certificates, you're afraid that your son won two certificates."

Xiang Yuhuan said proudly: "Of course, the child from my parents' home has not received the certificate. He took two rice at once. What a great joy."

The couple mingled and then packed up the things.

At this time, someone shouted loudly on the dock: "The passenger ship is here!"

Hearing this, the family of three quickly packed their luggage and set off.

Life is so comfortable now.

The food supply is enough every meal, and every few days, I eat fine grain to improve my food. The team often pays dividends and benefits, and the living standards are rising sharply.

On October 1st, the county also opened a passenger ship. From now on, I went to my parents' home and the commune. I didn't have to row myself when I went to the county. What a great thing!

Xiang Yuhuan's mother's home is Xianggong Island. Everyone on the island's surname is Xiang, so it should be called Xianggong Island.

In fact, this island has a long history. The elderly people of the Xiang family passed down a past story from word of mouth, and one story tells the past story of the Xiang family's settlement in Xianggong Island.

The history of the Xiang family’s ancestors can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, there was a small country, Yan State, on the coast of the East China Sea, with the king’s surname Xiang.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Mu of Zhou expanded his sphere of influence and attacked the East China Sea. King Yan was furious and ordered his troops to fight back, resisting all the way to the East China Sea, resisting to the Wengzhou area where there were still few people at that time.

Later, time passed slowly, and the Xiang family failed to grow and spread due to various problems such as plague, war, famine, etc., but slowly withered the population and eventually fell to Xianggong Island. The Xiang family said that the real name of this island was Xianggong Island.

But the people don’t care about it, they just call it Xianggong Island.

As the saying goes, a phoenix with hair falls is not as good as a chicken. After the Western Zhou Dynasty was precious in its stomach, people's livelihood is now in decline and their descendants are poor.

Xianggong Island is very remote, and you have to walk thirty or forty kilometers from Tianya Island to the northeast.

It’s easy to say that it’s thirty or forty kilometers on land, but it’s a very long distance on the sea. Xianggong Island is almost one of the most furthest residential islands across the main island where the county government is located.

Too far away from the main island makes it difficult for the residents of Xianggong Island to have something to do with the county town. In this way, the lives of the people on the island become more and more difficult. In this regard, they are considered in trouble with Tianya Island in the past two years.

However, Xianggong Island has an advantage over Tianya Island. They have always been poor and have been in difficulties since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the past, Tianya Island was the model island of Changlong Commune, and the Wang Family Production Team was even more a model production team.

Tianya Island has been in decline in the past two years, so the Xiang family on Xianggong Island seized the opportunity to say some sarcastic words to mock the Wang family. If you don’t want anything else, just want to be proud and proud, you will feel happy:

You are the same as today? Your thick eyebrows and big eyes betray the revolution?

Passenger ship sailing, Xianggong Island is almost the last stop—

The commune's passenger ships do not run one by one production team.

Islands like Duobao Island that have no wharf cannot be docked, and some islands are relatively remote or have reefs around them, so passenger ships cannot go to.

Wu Feng's sailing route was planned by experts. They only ran the route and stopped on several suitable islands to radiate the surrounding islands.

The passenger ship docked on Xianggong Island under the autumn wind, and the last passengers on the ship got off the ship.

Xianggong Island has an area similar to Tianya Island, with a small population, and at most 500 people.

The entire island is hook-shaped, with mountains on it but a mountain of earth. But I don’t know why trees grow and cannot grow crops. Looking at Xianggong Island from afar, it looks like a continuous hill on the sea.

There are many people gathered on the small dock of the island, mainly children and teenagers, who are all visiting the passenger ship.

When they saw the motor boat leaning on the dock, they ran on the boat and stayed on their seats with joy. The adults on the dock respectfully handed the cigarettes to Wu Chengjun and Wu Feng, handed them on the cigarettes and chatted with the father and son.

Poor parents in the world.

These adults handed cigarettes to the father and son not to make a relationship, but to allow the passenger ship to park on the dock for a while and let the children at home play on the boat for a while.

After taking the cigarette, Wu Feng looked at the trademark and said, "Okay, I've changed to Hongmei today? Good cigarettes, why don't you smoke anymore?"

A man smiled and said, "We all smoked good cigarettes today, haha, haven't you seen us all put on good clothes?"

Wu Feng said: "I must have seen this. I thought you were going to the county to attend a material exchange meeting, so they all changed into new clothes and shoes, and they were all dressed up cleanly, right?"

Another man smiled and said, "No, it's because there are leaders in Wengzhou City going to the countryside today and want to come to our team, so we are dressed beautifully."

At this time, a cadre wearing a Zhongshan suit and a blue army cap came and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Today, the leaders are all here. You dare not talk nonsense. If something happens, we will not be able to afford it."

"I can't eat, I'll take care of it? That's great." A young member sneered, "I have no food at home. If I can't eat, I'll take care of it. I'll eat it tomorrow. I'll have two full meals first."

The team cadres glared at the members who were talking sour and said, "Manyin, don't do anything randomly for me. I know what you mean by saying this. The fine grains in the rice jar cannot be moved. I will return them to the commune in the future."

After hearing this, Wang Dongbao asked in confusion: "What does it mean? Why do you have to return the fine grains in the rice jar to the commune?"

Xianggong Island has a small population and few families, and they have some relatives. The cadres in this team knew Wang Dongbao and Xiang Yuhuan and said, "Yuhuan, didn't you tell your man about our team? Tell him quickly, there is something going on today."

Xiang Yuhuan was confused when he heard this: "Uncle Second, what's the matter? I don't know, I don't know how I told him?"

The team cadres were stunned and said, "Don't you know? OK, then you hurry up and go to your parents' house. Your elder brother is back and ask your elder brother to tell you."

Xiang Yuhuan picked up his bag and got off the dock. Several people squatting around the dock smiled and said, "Yuhuan, your Wang family is really having a good life now. This time I go to my parents' house, how many things can I pack up with big bags?"
