1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 Eating alone is really lonely.

 Previous life, after Zhou Xiaoying left.

Li Duoyu has been eating alone for nearly eight years. At that time, she felt that food had nothing to do with food. It was just food to fill the stomach. She felt that she could eat anything.

 But if a group of people eat,

It’s very warm.

Li Duoyu looked around at everyone’s faces. Some things can only be cherished after they are lost.

He now particularly likes to have a large family eating together, which is only possible in this era.

 When halfway through eating.

The second brother happened to be back, and a group of men looked at each other, and then drank some wine to relieve the heat.

The sun was extremely strong during the day, and the tiles and stone strips had been exposed to the sun all day, and they were still warm to the touch.

 The temperature inside the house is even higher than outside. The adults usually sit in the courtyard and make tea together, and wait for the room temperature to drop before going in to sleep.

 After a period of sanitation management, the number of fleas and lice in Xiasha Village has decreased, but the number of mosquitoes has not decreased at all.

Li Duoyu also couldn’t understand why there were so many mosquitoes even though it was an island. He got several big bites just by drinking.

 It's itchy, it's itchy!

Due to the power outage on Dandan Island, the blue tears on the seaside look particularly bright.

 Many children think they are very beautiful, especially girls. My sister’s eldest daughter and second daughter were sitting on the stone strip in the courtyard, staring at the blue tears.

On the sea not far away, occasionally a cargo ship will pass by, and a long and thin blue fluorescent strip will be drawn out of the sea.

"beautiful."

Seeing how fascinated they were, Chen Huiying, who was still quite superstitious at heart, frowned and said, "Don't look at it anymore, do you know?"

 “Grandma, why can’t you watch it?”

Li Haoran, who was holding a flashlight on the side, put the light on his chin and made a scary expression.

“Because the Ghost Festival is coming soon, and those blue waves are all good friends. If you keep watching, they will come to you at night and pull you into the sea.”

 After seeing Li Haoran's horrified expression, Zhang Yun, who was still young, was frightened and cried on the spot.

 Chen Huiying patted Li Haoran's head.

 “Why are you so ignorant? You scared your sister.”

 Then, he quickly picked up Xiaoyun and said, "Xiaoyun, don't be afraid. Do you want to sleep with grandma at night?"

Xiaoyun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, I will sleep with grandma tonight."

Li Haoran also looked aggrieved and murmured: "When I was a child, grandma, you scared me like this."

Although Li Duoyu knows the truth about Blue Tears, in this era where "Into Science" doesn't even exist yet.

 There is really no need to explain.

 Because you explained it.

 Not everyone may understand it.

 There is no electricity, and there are no entertainment projects. Villagers usually go to bed early. After eight o'clock, the children are sent to bed.

At about nine o'clock, there were only a few burning kerosene lamps left in the village.

 Li Duoyu took a quick shower by the well. When he returned to the bedroom, he found Zhou Xiaoying lying on the straw mat, gently fanning little Tutu with a cattail leaf fan, and humming a lullaby.

 Because it was too hot, little Tutu woke up two or three times due to the heat. He also developed prickly heat on his body and itched uncomfortably.

In the room, a kerosene lamp with a glass tube was beating, and the faint red light shone on Zhou Xiaoying, which was very beautiful.

As an energetic young man, Li Duoyu naturally wants to deepen his relationship with his wife.

 But in this **** weather, I'm already sweating just lying still. If I really move, the bed will probably get wet.

Li Duoyu feels that we still have to find a way to solve the island’s electricity problem, otherwise there is no point in making more money, as it will not be like living the life of the last century.

the next day.

 Everyone woke up early. Since everyone went to bed early, they rarely had the habit of staying in bed. And those children.

 After breakfast, they all ran out to play. These days, almost all children are free-range, and they only roar a few times during meals.

If you can yell back, yell back. If you yell too many times and still don't come back, then beat him back with a stick.

 It’s early this morning.

Li Haoran and three children, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun, all carrying buckets, followed Chen Huiying, preparing to go to fetch Xiaohai with grandma.

 Li Duoyu after finishing breakfast.

I bought a big tube bone from Lao Jin, and then I went to the oyster field to check the details of the oysters.

Li Duoyu picked up several strings of oysters, but found nothing unusual. Instead, he found that this year's oysters were really plump.

Each oyster house looks full.

 Each one is very tangible.

 Generally speaking, red tide does more harm than good to oysters, but it is not without benefits.

Oysters are filter feeders and feed passively. Farmers generally like to keep them in sea areas with a lot of algae and organic matter.

 In a sense, the early stage of algae bloom can bring a lot of nutrients to oysters, which is a good thing.

As long as the algae does not continue to explode and form harmful red tides, farmers will probably wake up from their dreams.

 It is equivalent to the algae feeding the oysters in disguise, but this phenomenon is generally relatively rare.

Once algae breaks out in summer, it is generally difficult to control it. After Li Duoyu pulled a few strings of oysters, he discovered some "smiling" oysters.

 Smile is the three words most hated by all shellfish farmers, because once the shellfish opens its mouth, it proves that it is dead.

Li Duoyu pried off the smiling oyster and smelled it. The oyster meat had a very obvious rancid smell. After cutting it open, there was a large amount of dark green algae in the stomach pouch.

Immediately afterwards, Li Duoyu leaned down, picked up the sea water with both hands and smelled it.

The sea water does not have the salty smell, but the rancid smell caused by the bloom of algae, which is particularly obvious.

 The harm has been done.

 If you see one smiling, many more will appear next, and loss is inevitable.

　Now facing Li Duoyu, there are only two ways to go.

One is that there will definitely be a large-scale outbreak of red tide. In the past, oysters were harvested, but in this case, these oysters would be considered "defective oysters."

 Because they are all oysters in the breeding season, the taste is not particularly good, and Li Duoyu cannot guarantee whether there will be any residual algae toxins after the oysters are dried.

Li Duoyu would also be embarrassed if he harvested them now. He had just discussed collecting oyster seedlings with the Fisheries Research Institute.

 But this is a special situation. Director Zhang Qingyun will definitely understand it after explaining it to the Fisheries Research Institute.

 Another way is to take a gamble. As long as the scale of the red tide outbreak is not large, at the cost of killing some oysters, it can last until the actual oyster harvesting season. Li Duoyu sat on the sampan boat, thought for a while, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally chose to take a gamble.

 After seeing the oyster field.

Li Duoyu came to the side of the fishing raft. Before the boat got close, Erbaiwu couldn't help but screamed "woo woo woo".

Li Duoyu felt that he was a bit atavistic. He felt that if he continued to bark, he would sound like a wolf.

 As soon as the ship docked.

Li Duoyu threw the big tube bone to it, but unexpectedly, it didn't chew the bone immediately.

But it is under his feet and cannot be rubbed around. Maybe because everyone has been very busy recently, there are obviously fewer people coming to the fishing rafts, and the number of farmed fish in the cages is also very small, which makes 250 feel a lot more depressed. .

 Li Duoyu touched his dog's head.

“Just bear with it for another five months, and it will be fine. By then, your wife will be an adult, and I will bring you the black girl to the fishing raft.”

 “Woo~~”

When Li Duoyu left, 250 also wanted to jump onto the sampan boat, but as Li Duoyu frowned, it consciously returned to the fishing raft, lay down next to the fishing raft, and put its front paws in the seawater, seemingly By contacting sea water, a physical cooling effect is achieved.

 After Li Duoyu left the fishing raft.

I drove a sampan and planned to go to the town committee to find Secretary Chen first. He was very interested in the net hoist.

Unexpectedly, before even going to the town committee, Li Duoyu saw a small tin boat with "Rongcheng Agricultural Machinery Factory" printed on it at Qingkou Pier.

 At the front end of the iron boat, a small net hoisting machine with a single drum is installed.

Li Duoyu drove the sampan over and took a closer look. He found that the net hoisting machine was not mechanically driven, but hydraulically driven.

 In fact, net hoisting machines have been around for a long time, but most of them are mechanically driven, that is, the belt of the diesel engine is hung on the net hoisting machine.

 The net hoisting machine is driven by a belt, and this mechanically driven net hoisting machine is not very easy to use and has many shortcomings.

 First of all, because it is pulled by a belt, the net hoisting machine must be close to the diesel engine.

 If the net hoisting machine is at the stern of the boat, it will be very awkward and unsafe for fishermen to operate it.

 The previous period of large-scale production.

The fishing team on Dandan Island has installed this kind of belt-driven net hoisting machine, but the net gear is often rolled up with the belt and bearings.

 One and careless operation, the belt pulled the sticky net, causing a very dangerous situation. When this kind of net hoisting machine first came out, many fishermen were injured because of it, and the most serious ones were direct amputation.

This also causes fishermen to dislike belt-driven net hoisting machines. After all, everyone buys net hoisting machines to reduce their workload, not to add trouble to themselves.

 This kind of hydraulic net hoisting machine is much safer than the belt drive. In the previous generation, almost all the net hoisting machines on Dandan Island were hydraulic.

This kind of net hoisting machine is driven by a hydraulic pipe, and the net hoisting machine can be installed at the bow of the ship. The safety is greatly guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about the fishing net being rolled up by the belt.

If it were this kind of net hoisting machine, Li Duoyu would really like one, but he just didn’t know how much it would cost.

While Li Duoyu was observing the net-raising machine, a familiar voice came from the other side of the pier.

 “There are many fish, when will you come back?”

 Li Duoyu looked back and found that Secretary Chen was smiling and greeting him, and beside him, there were several middle-aged people wearing white shirts.

Li Duoyu hurriedly boarded the dock and greeted the leaders naively.

 “Okay, leaders.”

Chen Shulin quickly introduced: "Duoyu, this is Director Lei of our Rongcheng Agricultural Machinery Factory."

 “Director Lei, okay.”

“Also, this is Director Liu.”

Li Duoyu shook hands with them one by one and said hello. At the same time, he was also very curious. Why not promote a net hoisting machine?

 As for two leaders?

Rongcheng Agricultural Machinery Factory is at least a department-level unit. The director of the factory is also a department-level cadre.

Unexpectedly, when Li Duoyu shook hands with him, the other party suddenly said: "Director Li, long time no see."

Li Duoyu was stunned on the spot. He didn't know Director Lei in front of him, so he could only reply awkwardly: "Director Lei, long time no see."

Lei Gaoming smiled and said: "At first glance, you have forgotten me."

 Secretary Chen on the side quickly came to the rescue and said: "Last year, Director Lei also participated in the aquatic products work meeting."

Li Duoyu quickly said: "Look at my memory, I remembered it."

 In fact, Li Duoyu didn't think about it at all, he just said the polite words casually. There were so many leaders coming that day, how could he possibly remember every one of them.

 After the two parties met, they had a brief chat. Li Duoyu thought that Director Lei was here to discuss the network machine.

I didn’t expect it to be something else.

Lei Gaoming said directly: "Actually, Director Liu and I came down with a mission this time. Director Liu is here to promote the network machine.

 As for me, I came to inspect Dandan Island to test whether the wind volume on the island is strong enough. "

 Measuring wind volume?

Li Duoyu’s eyes lit up: “Leader, do you want to install wind turbines on Dandan Island?”

 “I didn’t say that.”

Director Lei smiled and said: "Our factory has only received proposals. For details, it still depends on whether Dandan Island is suitable. According to the process, we will build an air volume test point on Dandan Island now. Only when the standards are met will it be submitted to Go to the superior unit.”

 Li Duoyu blinked.

Having lived two lifetimes, he naturally knows how the organization works. It is almost certain that a test point will be set up.

Yesterday, Li Duoyu was still worried about the electricity problem on the island, and he didn’t expect that he would be able to have it delivered to his door today.

Li Duoyu quickly said:

“Of course it’s suitable. The northeast corner of our island is a famous wind outlet in this area. The sea breeze is level 6 to 7 all year round, which is very suitable for wind power generation.”

Lei Gaoming looked at Li Duoyu jokingly: "It seems that Director Li knows a lot about wind turbines."

Li Duoyu smiled: "I only know a little bit about it. I just like to look through magazines. I accidentally saw it and I understood a little bit."

Secretary Chen, who knows a little bit about the inside story, knows that Dandan Island will be listed as a site for wind power generation this time, and it is not their fault.

Although they submitted several reports, almost all of them were stuck at the county committee and could not reach Rongcheng at all.

 And for large projects like wind power generation, the province usually has the final say. Two days ago, he was surprised for a long time when he learned that Dandan Island had been selected as the site for wind power generation.

 As for this matter, Chen Shulin felt that someone above helped Li Duoyu get away with it.

 Dandan Island.

Seeing that the leaders are here again, the fishermen on the dock are already used to it and are no longer as nervous as before. They all started discussing it one by one.

“Village director, what kind of project are you going to bring with you this time?”

“I think it’s useless to do anything. The most important thing now is to turn on the electricity quickly. I was almost cooked last night.”

“Me too, when I moved last night, my whole body was covered in sweat and I didn’t even want to move.” (End of this chapter)
