1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 148 The village director given for free (please subscribe)

 After Li Zhengfa’s house was ransacked.

Wang Jinjun became the one whose house was ransacked on Dandan Island. All the valuable things in the house were moved to pay off the debt.

 The cooperative has been reorganized, and these days people from the county are sent to guide the operation.

 Not long after.

Wang Jinjun became the talk of everyone after dinner, as if nothing had happened.

The only thing the villagers care about is abalone breeding. These days, the villagers go to the abalone breeding raft from time to time to look around.

 After seeing no movement.

He ran to the village headquarters to find Wang Dapao and asked, "Why haven't you started raising abalones yet?"

These days, in addition to Wang Jinjun’s troubles, Wang Dapao was also asked so many questions by the villagers that he wanted to curse.

He now finally understands what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.

I have told them a long time ago that abalone farming takes a long time, at least three years.

As for this project, he was just responsible for pulling the strings. He didn’t make a cent from the beginning to the end, and he even treated the two Hong Kong Islanders to two meals.

 As a result, the villagers are now coming to him one by one, not only asking for progress, but also for guarantees.

 It’s guaranteed to be a hammer.

In addition to the villagers, his sister-in-law and his mother also came to make trouble with him all day long, asking him to find a way to get Wang Jinjun out of prison as soon as possible.

Wang Dapao didn’t even dare to tell them.

Because the amount of money involved in the case was too large, the second child was directly sentenced to life imprisonment.

 And it is still the focus of attention.

 There is no way to catch it at all.

Now that Wang Jinjun has been arrested, Laosan’s original plan to introduce a company to contract and bear the collective assets of the island has also come to nothing.

 Coupled with the impact of his brother's arrest.

 Many people who were close to him began to distance themselves from him intentionally or unintentionally.

 This made him quite depressed.

 A person is locked up in an office, smoking and drinking.

And what troubles him the most is that the progress of abalone farming has indeed slowed down recently, and he has not heard any news from the two Hong Kong Islanders.

He wrote a letter to Director Yang of the Fisheries Research Institute, but a week passed without receiving a reply.

 This gave him a bad feeling.

Some families are happy and some are sad.

 Lao Li has been very happy recently, because since Yaoguo followed Li Duoyu to catch small tubes.

 My daughter-in-law’s face doesn’t smell bad either.

 Speaking is obviously much better.

During this time, he and his wife helped Duoyu take care of the oyster fields, mainly cleaning the mussels, barnacles and some seaweed attached to the oysters.

 Catch some conchs that are eating oysters by the way.

He really hates this kind of creature. In the past, he used stone piles to cultivate oysters, and conchs would often climb up to eat the oysters.

  I don’t want to raise it in a hanging position now.

These **** can still climb up the moso bamboo and eat oysters.

 In the past, his oyster field only had a few acres, and he could only catch a dozen oysters at most.

 There are now eighty acres of oyster fields.

 Lao Li always comes back with half a bucket of conches after each inspection.

 At the beginning, Lao Li took the conches he caught home for everyone to eat.

 But after everyone ate it for half a month.

 Now it’s time to talk about conch. Even snack foodie Li Haoran shook his head crazily when he saw conch, expressing that he didn’t want to eat it anymore.

 In the end, Lao Li had no choice but to sell the conches he caught to the fishmonger at the pier.

I didn’t expect this kind of snail to be quite expensive.

 One pound can be sold for thirty cents.

Oysters have not yet been harvested, so Lao Li first made a little money by catching snails.

 While fishing small tubes during this period.

Li Yaoguo has lost a lot of weight, and has also darkened a lot. The hand he used to hold a pen has lost weight in less than a month.

Calluses have grown since then, and one or two blisters can be seen from time to time.

 See him like this.

Zhu Xiuhua felt extremely distressed. These days, she kept scolding Li Duoyu, calling him a capitalist, exploiting labor, etc.

Due to Wang Jinjun's arrest, Zhu Xiuhua felt that his uncle would definitely be elected as the village director. When the time came, he would help to speak out.

 “You should be the village accountant.”

 “You don’t think the village accountant makes too little money.”

Zhu Xiuhua sighed: "Duoyu exploits the labor force like this. You have money to earn, but you also have to spend your life. Look how thin you have become recently."

“By the way, I made some chicken soup, drink it while it’s hot.”

As for Li Duoyu, he is also planning to take a break recently and has been fishing for small tubes for more than a month.

 My waist feels like it’s almost useless.

Every time he came there, Li Duoyu couldn't stay on top and had to work hard for Zhou Xiaoying.

However, these days.

 The fishermen who fish for small tubes on Dandan Island are also ready to take a rest. Because the number of small tubes is decreasing day by day, the price has also dropped to the bottom. From 15 cents at the beginning, now the fishmonger is only willing to charge 7 cents.

 The reason why the price has halved is that supply exceeds demand. No matter how delicious the food is, once there are too many, everyone will feel tired of it.

 Except for falling prices.

There are two important things that force everyone to stop fishing for small tubes. One is that Dandan Island will re-elect the village director in the next few days.

 Another thing is that the seventh month of the lunar calendar is coming soon, and the "Hungry Ghost Festival" is coming soon.

 Perchance for fishermen throughout the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

Try to avoid going out to fish at night, especially the first day of the lunar calendar in July, which is called "Ghost Gate", and many ownerless "Apiao" will be released.

 So on the day when the gate of ghosts opens, fishermen from Dandan Island and every household will offer sacrifices at the gate, burn incense and make blessings, and invite all "good brothers" to enjoy it. "

 What surprised Li Duoyu the most was.

A few days before the election, his uncle, third uncle, uncle Mao, and several old fishermen came to him.

 Hope he can run for village director.

Li Duoyu fought with them for a while, but was finally defeated. Even Li Yaoguo and Chen Dongqing supported him in his candidacy.

As a result, his name appeared on the list of candidates for village director, while his uncle Li Niantian quietly withdrew from the election.

 When the list of candidates comes out.

Zhang Jinsha, who was also a candidate for village director, found out that Li Duoyu was following the campaign, so he didn’t bother to pull out the votes and just put them away.

When others were not running for election, their votes were almost the same as his. If I really run for office this time, the votes will probably be one-sided.

He originally wanted to take down his list to save himself from embarrassment.

 I didn’t expect the people from the Village Election Committee to say that once you participate in the election, you cannot give up midway.

On the day of the election, what the villagers of Xiasha Village did not expect was that the top leader of Shangfeng Town actually came to the election venue in person and served as the leader of the election steering group.

 The teller kept shouting:

 “Li Duoyu.”

 “Li Duoyu.”

 “Li Duoyu.”

Looking at the completely one-sided Zhengzi, Zhang Jinsha really just wanted to find a gap to get in, but he was convinced of the defeat.

 Because in the past six months, although Li Duoyu is not a village cadre, he has done better than most village cadres.

 Teach everyone how to use a fixed net for fishing.

 In bad weather, bravely rescue fishermen.

  Took the lead in raising kelp and oysters, and also taught everyone how to raise them.

Recently, I have taught you a new method of fishing small pipes, which has made many fishermen make money.

  And after the election.

Secretary Chen of the town signed directly on the spot and announced that Li Duoyu was elected as the village director of Xiasha Village on Dandan Island.

 This result made Li Duoyu feel a little confused.

Originally, he came to this world with only one purpose: to live a good life and make Zhou Xiaoying suffer less.

I didn’t want to go all the way.

Honestly, I helped a lot of people.

 Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Li Duoyu was also very happy. It turns out that it is good to be a positive person.

 Finally, with everyone’s support, Li Duoyu was forced to step onto the podium.

 “After being elected as the village director, what do you have to say to everyone?”

 Li Duoyu, who could usually talk freely with big leaders, was silent for a long time after seeing so many villagers supporting him.

 Finally, after holding it in for a long time, he said:

“Thank you fellow villagers for your support. I will work hard to help you make a lot of money, build a big house, and marry a beautiful wife.”

 After hearing this.

The villagers all laughed. Compared with some false and empty clichés, everyone still felt that what Li Duoyu said was more reliable.

One villager jokingly shouted: "Duoyu, if I don't get a beautiful wife in the future, I will go to the village brigade to make tea with you."

Other villagers laughed and cursed: "Hurry up and line up, I'll marry you first."

Some villagers also asked with a smile: "Duoyu, after you become the village director, will you still collect royalties?"

Li Duoyu said with a serious face: "Collect it, of course we must collect it, and we will collect it twice as much in the future. This time you will make more money than me by catching the little tube."

 After everyone heard this.

 Everyone laughed.

Li Niantian looked at Li Duoyu on the stage and felt that the most correct thing he had done this year was to withdraw from the election.

 The Zhao brothers were also very excited after hearing this. They discovered something strange since they got close to Li Duoyu.

 Luck seems to have improved.

This month, the two brothers caught blue crabs in the mangroves during the day and fished small tubes at night.

 One month down.

They actually made a thousand yuan, more than they had made in the whole year.

 After making money, the two brothers suddenly became attracted to women.

Not long ago, the third daughter of the old Lu family actually took the initiative to greet their brothers and said: "Brother Zhao."

 In the past, this was completely unthinkable.

Having written this, the election chapter is over. To be honest, writing this chapter was not very smooth. I have been locked in a dark room frequently (crying with anger~~) and some readers don’t like to read this kind of plot.

But the author still had the courage to finish writing this chapter. After all, a novel has bones and skin. Again, the author is just a novice and doesn’t know how to write, so he writes according to the outline very carefully.
