1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 225 Thunder hits the winter, nine of the ten cattle pens are empty

After Zhao Jialu and his party left.

Li Duoyu returned to the village committee and found Uncle Liao cleaning his office with a mop.

The brown paper bag containing the red mushrooms was still on the desk. Li Duoyu evenly took out one-third of the red mushrooms and put them in a large envelope.

 “The guest just gave me some red mushrooms.”

 Lao Liao had just noticed the beautifully packaged brown paper bag. Although he was curious, he did not dare to look through the village director's things.

He didn't expect it to be a red mushroom. He had seen this thing before when he was going to the market. Because it was wild, it was sold quite expensively.

 He really didn’t expect that Li Duoyu would give him such a valuable thing.

 “This thing is too valuable, I dare not accept it.”

Li Duoyu stuffed it directly to him: "It seems that your daughter-in-law is about to give birth to a baby. Have you bought any supplements for confinement? These red mushrooms can be used to make confinement soup for your daughter-in-law."

 “That’s so embarrassing.”

Seeing that Lao Liao was embarrassed to take it, Li Duoyu stuffed it directly into his arms: "You're welcome, take it quickly."

Holding the red mushroom in his hand, Lao Liao suddenly had mixed feelings. Although he was also considered a village cadre, he was actually just a handyman, and he received the lowest salary of the entire village committee every month.

 Life is not easy, so why would you think about buying supplements for your daughter-in-law during confinement?

I have been with Wang Dapao for more than ten years. Apart from cleaning his office, I have not received any benefits, and I have not even given him a pack of cigarettes.

 Li Duoyu didn't expect that he would give such a valuable item to him casually, and he also knew that his daughter-in-law was about to give birth to a child.

 Lao Liao felt sour for no reason and was very moved.

“Then thank you, Director Li.”

Li Duoyu then asked: "By the way, Uncle Liao, are the two reception rooms in our village committee useful now?"

 “The reception room has not been used for a long time.”

“I remember that in the past, if guests came to visit, they would stay in the village committee reception room and it would cost 20 cents a day.”

“That’s what I said, but I didn’t even take the money.”

 “That’s it.”

Lao Liao reacted suddenly: "Director Li, do you have any other guests coming?"

 “Well, that’s right.”

Li Duoyu nodded and said: "I happen to have a friend who wants to live on the island for a while. My land is too small and there is no room for them to live. I plan to let them live here in the village committee for a while."

 “That’s it, when will you come?”

Li Duoyu's letter was sent last night. It will take two or three days at the earliest to reach Dazhu Village. If Ou Ge prepares, it will take four or five days.

 “In a few days.”

Old Liao said seriously: "Then I will clean the room in the next two days to avoid spiders, centipedes and the like, which will make it uncomfortable to live in."

"By the way, although you are my friend, you still have to pay for the guest house. When the time comes, you will see how many days you will stay in total. I will pay for it."

"knew."

 Lao Liao nodded. Ever since Li Duoyu replaced that expensive desk, he had understood that he was very serious about all matters of principle.

“Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liao, I’ll leave first.”

 “Director Li, walk slowly.”

Old Liao looked at Li Duoyu's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh. Xiasha Village really made the right choice in choosing this village director.

If the Wang brothers were elected, the village would never be as harmonious as it is now, and it would definitely be a mess.

After Li Duoyu left the village committee, he suddenly wanted to relax for a while, so he wandered aimlessly in a place with fewer people in the village.

 The year he discovered it.

The village has changed quite a lot. Many fishermen who have made money are busy building new houses. Some women who have children to take care of take their nets home to knit in the courtyard, while their children crawl around casually.

Li Duoyu followed the steps in the village and came to the Tianhou Palace halfway up the mountain. Because there has been no fishing season recently.

Since there are no big ships out to sea, there are fewer people coming to worship. Usually there is only a temple minister in his seventies sitting in the temple listening to the radio. After arriving at Tianhou Palace.

Li Duoyu followed local customs and worshiped Mazu devoutly and put a dollar into the merit box.

After seeing Li Duoyu adding money for sesame oil, the temple minister thought he was going to ask for the lottery, so he took the lottery tube and the throwing cup and said, "Blind Chen is no longer here. I don't know how to interpret the lottery. After asking, you probably Find someone else to sign it.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I don't ask about the signature, I just came here to say goodbye."

Miao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There are fewer young people as sincere as you now. Everyone comes here to ask for a signature guaranteeing their safety."

Li Duoyu smiled.

 After bowing to Mazu, they left the Tianhou Palace and came to the square outside.

The reason why Thean Hou Temple was built here is because it has the best view. Not only can you see Li Duoyu’s oyster field, but you can also see the pier, tidal flats and Badwater Bay on the other side.

You can even see the place where the pond was dug and the moso bamboo factory. The most people were digging the pond, estimated to be around thirty.

It can be clearly seen that they have dug two large pits and are laying foundations beside the pond.

 Except for the pond.

 Li Duoyu also had to build a simple indoor eel breeding factory, specially used to feed eel seedlings.

There were also two people over there at the Moso Bamboo Factory. It didn’t take long to guess that they were Dad and Chen Wenchao. Seeing that they stood still, they must be turning over the dried oysters.

Li Duoyu stayed in the square of Tianhou Temple for a while, and suddenly felt that the sea breeze was getting stronger, and the clouds in the east were rolling and darkening.

 Not long after.

 A burst of lightning that was not very bright flashed across, and about ten seconds later, Li Duoyu heard a small thunder.

 It’s already the beginning of winter.

I didn’t expect there would be thunder.

After hearing the thunder, Li Duoyu was a little excited for a moment. Winter thunder generally means that the current climate is very unstable and the season will change soon.

 If there is thunder after the beginning of winter, it indicates that the winter will be very cold, and it is easy for some cold waves with extremely low temperatures and heavy precipitation to occur.

 There is a proverb that goes like this.

 “It’s winter, and nine out of ten cattle pens are empty.”

 And there is a high probability that extreme weather such as "late spring cold" will occur.

 For farmers engaged in crop breeding, Dong Lei is the most annoying thing.

 It can be used by coastal farmers.

This kind of thunder is harmless and harmless. The sound of thunder in winter means that oysters can be harvested in large quantities and can be brought into the sea to bring out seedlings.

As the rolling clouds rushed towards Dandan Island, Li Duoyu on the Tianhou Temple Square could even hear someone in the village shouting.

 “Thunder.”

"It's raining."

 “Go home quickly and collect your clothes.”

“Whoever is drying fish doesn’t know how to collect it.”

A group of little kids holding wooden swords were very happy and shouted one after another: "It's thundering, it's raining, put away your clothes."

As the first drop of rain fell on Dandan Island, the whole village immediately became busy. The paths were full of people, and people from every household came out to collect clothes and dried fish.

 Some fisher girls who were fishing in the tidal flats and beaches also rushed home.

 It was very lively for a while.

After Li Duoyu saw this scene, he found it inexplicably interesting and nostalgic. This is what a rural area should be like.

But when he glanced at the Moso Bamboo Factory, he remembered that he was the one who dried the most seafood, so he ran towards the Moso Bamboo Factory, even scolding himself.

 “Damn it, Li Duoyu, you’re a big idiot.”

   If you still have a monthly pass, please give it to me.
