1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 248: Fleas and Lice (please subscribe)

After the first wave of cold wave ended, a sunny day came after a long time. Every household on Dandan Island began to clean up, mainly drying quilts, straw mats, and clothes. Most of the women were washing their hair with hot water.

The second sister-in-law had boiled a large pot of water early in the morning and was washing Xiao Pangdun's hair. She was combing his hair with a very dense comb and squeezing all the lice on his head.

Li Duoyu was even more ruthless and moved the bedding and mattresses at home directly to the baking room to bake them.

 The reason is that the weather was too cold some time ago and many villagers did not take a bath. In addition, the sanitary conditions in the village are not very good.

 There is an outbreak of fleas and lice!

　　When they went to bed last night, he and Zhou Xiaoying were bitten several times. They were so itchy that they didn't sleep well all night.

Little Tutu was not spared either. He also had several bites on his body. After he woke up in the morning, he kept scratching them and kept crying.

 In this era, fleas, lice, ticks and other tormenting little things almost caused the rebirth of Li Duoyu to collapse.

These little things are more annoying than mosquitoes. They are endless and inexhaustible. Once an outbreak occurs, you must be prepared to be bitten by them as long as you sleep at night.

 And there is really nothing you can do about them. It is simply unrealistic to completely eliminate them in this era.

 The reason is that many people use straw mats at home, some people even use thatched mats, and every household raises chickens and ducks.

Fleas are generally parasitic on chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs. Unless there is a comprehensive and continuous cleaning, these fleas will grow like weeds in the spring breeze.

The only thing you can do is to maintain good personal hygiene, bathe frequently, dry the quilt more often, and clean the room more often.

Seeing Li Duoyu baking quilts and clothes in the baking room, second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua also went home and moved all the quilts at home and baked them in the baking room.

 After the weather gets better.

Some elderly people in the village also came out to bask in the sun, and there were more people in the square. Everyone came out to chat and chat.

　　Because previously, Li Duoyu organized village cadres to re-make quilts for some elderly people with poor financial resources, so that they would no longer have to suffer from the cold at night.

 When the elders in the village saw Empress Li Zhengtian, they were full of praise. They all praised him for his good tutoring and giving birth to a good son.

 It was just a year ago.

 The same group of old people also often talk about Li Duoyu.

However, they didn’t praise him, most of them disliked him, saying that he was a street kid, wishing to shave off his afro, saying that it affected the appearance of the village, that he was uneducated and had no family education.

 In the past, Lao Li didn't like to go out very much. What he was most afraid of was others making irresponsible remarks about his fourth son and his daughter-in-law Zhu Xiuhua.

 But now I am much more cheerful. When I have free time, I go to the square and the pier for a walk, play chess with other people, and chat.

What he likes to hear most is when others praise his son Li Duoyu. The voice sounds better than the songs sung by Teresa Teng.

 These days.

Li Duoyu has also suspended the purchase of red worms because the current reserve of red worms is enough to last until the eel fry can eat and change feed.

 The villagers who originally made money by catching red worms started to sigh.

 It has been more than half a month of catching red worms.

 Some people took away four to five hundred yuan from Li Duoyu. The Zhao brothers joined the army of catching insects later, but they did not expect to make more than two hundred yuan after catching them for five or six days.

 Li Duoyu stopped acquiring.

Originally, they thought that if they could keep catching red worms, they might be able to change to a sampan with a diesel engine this year. It seems that this plan has to be postponed again.

 After suspending the acquisition of red worms.

 After Li Duoyu arrived at the pier, he planned to buy some miscellaneous fish to make fish meal, but he arrived too late.

Most of the trash fish has been bought and cooked into shrimp oil, leaving only some seafood that is not suitable for fish meal.

 Since you can’t buy trash fish.

Li Duoyu simply went out to sea to catch fish by himself. It happened that he hadn’t visited the fishing raft for several days.

Li Duoyu stopped by Lao Jin’s pork stall and bought a tube bone to improve Er Bai Wu’s food and add some calcium.

 Then, I spent another thirty cents at the dock to buy a pound of shrimps, and then drove the sampan to the fishing raft.

Cloudless.

 The sea breeze was blowing gently, and although it was a bit cold, Li Duoyu, who had been bored in the eel factory for so many days, felt a little relaxed and happy.

 The ship has not arrived yet.

The two hundred and five on the fishing raft were already jumping and shouting with joy. Li Duoyu just parked the sampan, and the two hundred and five had already jumped on the boat and kept circling around Li Duoyu.

 And rubbed her head against his thigh. Fortunately, Erbai Wu was raised at sea and there were no fleas on his body. Otherwise, Li Duoyu might have beaten him if he rubbed against him.

To reward him for guarding the fish steak alone for so long, Li Duoyu took out the big pig bones he just bought.

 After seeing the pig bones.

Two hundred and fifty waggled its tail like a broom and made a whining sound, but it didn't dare to come up and eat directly.

 After Li Duoyu threw the big pig bone into the corner where it was eating, 250 dared to bite it.

　　It had not chewed a pig bone for a long time, and this time it was as happy as two hundred and fifty. It bared its teeth and kept biting it. First, it shaved off the remaining meat on the big pig bone.

Immediately afterwards, the dog's teeth kept biting the same place on the pig bone. With a clicking sound, the pig bone was bitten off by it.

 Following.

It is a series of crunching sounds.

Li Duoyu glanced at the tide and felt that it was almost time to put down the net, so he took out the key, opened the lock and entered the bamboo house.

 Since Chen Wenchao has been busy with the eel factory recently, his father currently uses this room more.

 The house was kept clean and tidy. When not sleeping on, the straw mat on the bed was rolled up and the quilt was wrapped in a sack.

Hung in the middle is a basket with some rice, dry goods, salt and monosodium glutamate on it. A complete set of cooking utensils is placed on a simple table.

 Some time ago, when Li Duoyu was busy, his father had been helping him take care of the oyster fields and kelp fields.

 When I’m busy, I don’t have time to go home for dinner, so I cook my own food on the fishing raft.

Li Duoyu also found a small tank in the corner, which was tightly sealed and pressed with stones.

Li Duoyu moved the stone away and smelled it. Unexpectedly, it was green and red wine. It seemed that Comrade Li was not as boring as he seemed.

Li Duoyu smelled the aroma of the wine.

 Very rich.

He took the wine ladle on the side and scooped out a little bit. The color of the wine was very beautiful, pure red and it felt like amber.

Li Duoyu took a small sip.

 The taste is smooth and long, very easy to drink. Li Duoyu felt that the green and red wine of that year could not have this taste.

This taste is at least the same as the green and red wine from three years ago. I really don’t know where this vat of wine was hidden by Lao Li before.

 After taking a sip of wine.

Li Duoyu put the lid on the wine, then picked up the sticky net placed in the house, preparing to set it down to catch fish and get some miscellaneous fish to make fish meal.

After carrying the kilometer-long sticky net onto the sampan boat, Li Duoyu shouted to Erbaiwu who was lying on the fishing raft and chewing pig bones: "Come here."

Hearing the sound, Erbai Wu put down the pig bones and stood up immediately, wagging his tail and jumped onto the sampan boat.

 With the sound of "rumble" sounded.

 Li Duoyu sailed away from the fishing raft and headed to the place where the nets were lowered.

 Laying out sticky nets is not done casually, it depends on the tide. Li Duoyu likes to release the net when the tide is low and close it when the tide is high.

 If you harvest during high tide and low tide, the fish catch will be greatly reduced, and due to the tide, it will be very tiring to set up the net.

 In this era, net hoisting machines have not yet begun to become popular. When the tide is high, it is very tiring to close the net, so try to hoist the net when the tide is stable.

 In addition to watching the tide, the most important thing when setting up a sticky net is to be sure of the fish species you want to catch.

If you want to catch sea fish on the bottom, you have to use a bottom-sinking net. If you want to catch sea fish in the middle and upper layers, you have to use a floating net.

 After winter, marine fish generally hide in deep sea areas in order to successfully survive the winter, and the number of marine fish in offshore areas will significantly decrease.

 So if you lower the net in winter, try to go to the deep sea area to sink the bottom net. This will greatly increase the probability of catching fish.

It took Li Duoyu almost an hour to lower all the kilometer-long sticky net into the sea.

 After downloading the Internet.

 It takes almost five or six hours before it’s time to go online.
