1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 97 The weather has changed, collect kelp in advance

 Just finished inserting the moso bamboo stakes.

Having been tormented by my children and my wife all night again.

Li Duoyu was as tired as a dead pig and fell asleep directly.

 When I woke up the next day.

He found that his uncle and third uncle had come to their yard early in the morning, holding in their hands a campaign draft written by his second brother.

I am reading over there.

“Hello fellow villagers, I am Li Niantian from Team 7. I used to be the captain of the fishing team and have rich fishing experience. I am planning to run for the village director of Xiasha Village.

 Please support me more.”

The uncle who was reading the manuscript saw Li Duoyu waking up and hurried over and asked: "Duoyu, is this okay with me?"

Li Duoyu, who had just woken up, scratched his itchy belly: "It's good, it's natural, but it's best to talk about what you plan to do in the future and how to serve the villagers on the island. ”

 The uncle was confused:

 “What to do specifically.”

“This is not simple. Help everyone build roads, expand docks, and lead everyone to fish and breed to become rich.”

 The uncle frowned: "I know how to fish, but I don't know how to breed."

“You don’t have to do it all. When the time comes, you can ask my uncle to give a training class.”

 “Oh.” The uncle suddenly realized, quickly took a pen and added a paragraph to the campaign draft:

As long as I am elected as the village director, I will provide farming training for all villagers. At that time, I will call Chen Dongqing from the Fisheries Research Institute and Li Duoyu, a big farmer in our village, to tell everyone about their experience in kelp farming.

Li Duoyu stretched himself, driving bamboo stakes and taking care of a baby. Even an iron man couldn't hold on.

He planned to take advantage of these few days to take a good rest, but not long after he sat on the stone slab, he realized that something was wrong with the weather today.

There is actually no wind,

 Even a little muggy.

And the visibility was particularly good today. From their courtyard, they could vaguely see Qingkou Pier, and the fishing boats on the sea could also be seen clearly.

 The clouds in the sky are very high.

Li Duoyu felt that there must be monsters when things happen. The experience of two generations of fishermen told him that things might change.

 While all relatives are there.

Li Duoyu made a decision immediately: "Uncle, Third Uncle, the weather may change, so we need to collect kelp early."

 “It’ll be collected so quickly.”

 “Didn’t you say that it will be two days later?”

 Li Duoyu explained: “It feels like there’s something wrong with the weather.”

 The uncle and the third uncle observed the weather for a while. Since they were busy with the election these two days, they did not pay attention to the weather.

After Li Duoyu said this, he realized that the weather was indeed a bit strange. The third uncle said seriously:

 “It feels like there might be a typhoon coming.”

 Li Yaoguo frowned when he heard that kelp would be harvested early:

“Didn’t my uncle tell you that the big boss will come in three days? If you accept it now, the big boss will be in vain.”

Li Duoyu replied: "We can't control so much now. If a typhoon really comes, no leader will dare to come. If we don't stop now, the typhoon will come in two days and it will be too late."

 Lao Li, who was smoking a cigarette, also agreed:

“This time, I also support Duoyu. While the weather is good, I will collect the kelp first. If there is a typhoon, it will definitely be sunny these days.”

 Following.

 Everyone is going home and getting ready.

My father and mother-in-law also went to ask their uncle and uncle to come and help.

Before leaving, Li Duoyu came to the bedroom and said seriously to Zhou Xiaoying: "We have started to collect kelp. Everyone will be busy these two days. Auntie has to cook for everyone, so she may not be able to take care of you. Please do your best. ”

Zhou Xiaoying nodded: "I can do it, don't be too tired, you know."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "It's not like you haven't learned how good I am, your husband." "You're such a big man, and you don't have a serious face."

　　"I want to be too serious. Maybe you really didn't like me at the beginning."

 “Talking nonsense.”

Before leaving, Li Duoyu pinched his broken nose and said, "Be nice to your mother. Do you know that if you make your mother cry again, I'll spank you when you come back."

 Seeing that her son was twisting and showing signs of waking up, Zhou Xiaoying quickly patted his paws off and glared at him: "I managed to get him to sleep. Don't wake me up, or I'll get in trouble with you."

 Less than an hour.

 There were eight boats gathered at the pier, including two larger fishing boats and six sampans.

There were more than 20 relatives who came to help pick kelp. The uncle’s whole family was dispatched, and even the youngest cousin Qingguang came.

 In with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with - with with having-having-taking- there being on, all the men in the family including my eldest uncle and my 2nd uncle coming to them, half of the relatives on the island are here, except for the children.

When the fishermen on the dock saw the Li family gathering, they immediately guessed that it was Li Duoyu who was going to collect kelp.

At the pier, Lao Zhuang, who was helping his son collect fish, saw that everyone was about to set off and said with emotion: "Old Li, you have a lot of fish and kelp at home, but why didn't you call me?"

Li Zhengtian joked:

"A piece of kelp weighs more than a hundred kilograms. Just your waist and legs will only hold you back. You might fall into the water and we have to fish you out."

Third uncle Li Zhengfa also said: "Collect your fish carefully. When we really need help, we will call you."

 The big ship pulls the small boat.

 The fleet set off in a mighty manner.

Lao Zhuang watched the fishing boats leave the harbor and sighed. Most of the people who helped Li Duoyu collect kelp were from the same fishing team as him.

 In the early years, they had used bangle to catch large yellow croakers and seine nets to catch mackerel. Seeing everyone gathering together again, he really wanted to work with them.

 But this foot, which had been broken once, made it difficult for him to even walk.

 The women weaving nets on the pier were also very envious after seeing how united the Li family was.

But what they discussed more was how much money Li Duoyu's kelp **** could make.

“I heard that after investing more than 2,000 yuan, I can earn back 5,000 yuan at least.”

 “No, there are so many.”

 Another woman who often weaves fishing nets with Zhu Xiuhua said:

"You are all too conservative. I have seen Li Duoyu's kelp field. The kelp is very big and thick. I heard from Zhu Xiuhua that if they were all harvested, they could be sold for at least 10,000 yuan."

After hearing this number, everyone took a breath of air. In this era, one thousand yuan is already a lot of money.

 Ten thousand dollars would really make people jealous.

“It’s all Chen Atai’s fault. He keeps shouting that raising kelp is not profitable. Last year, my man also wanted to do it, but after he yelled twice, he didn’t have the guts to do it.”

“However, I heard people say that raising kelp is very risky. Wang Dapao and Wang Jinjun, won’t those two brothers lose money?”

 An aunt said coldly:

 “You listen to their nonsense.”

“Those two brothers don’t think we are good fishermen at all. Apart from deceiving us and making dirty money, they can’t do anything well.”

“Let me tell you a secret secret joke. These two brothers used to be in the same production team as us. They could feed peanuts and corn to death.”

"real or fake?"

 “When have I ever deceived you?”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
