1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 419: Worry not about scarcity but about inequality

Li Duoyu directly picked the key points and briefly repeated what was said at the meeting.

 After finishing speaking, directly show the documents and materials brought back from the meeting to everyone.

 Fortunately, most of the people who came to the meeting were literate, and there were even two who spoke Maozi very fluently.

Wang Dapao and Wang Xianghong, both of whom have received Maozi language training.

Except for an older person, for example, when his daughter writes a letter to him or his son writes a letter to him in the newspaper, he still has to be read to him in order to know what the content is.

While they were looking at the document, one of the captains frowned and said, "Duoyu, is the size of this big windmill written wrong? How could it be forty meters high?"

“Forty meters, it’s as high as a fifteen-story building.”

“The tallest building in our Rongcheng is probably only fourteen stories high.”

 Li Duoyu replied:

“That’s right, this big windmill is forty meters high.”

After hearing Li Duoyu's answer, everyone took a sharp breath. Lao Lu, who had a fishing boat, asked immediately:

Seeing Wang Xianghong’s excitement, Li Duoyu smiled and said: “Comrade Xianghong, don’t get excited yet. The submarine cable will have to wait until the wind turbine is built, which will probably happen next year.”

 The reason why the villagers at the dock are richer than other villagers is simply that they receive the dividends from the dock.

When Lao Lu asked this, he really asked Li Duoyu. To be honest, he really didn't know what to do.

Shi Yunshan from the Ninth Team also raised his hand and said: "The Ninth Team also supports it. My family can directly provide three laborers."

No leader came to him to ask what their village should do or how many strong men should be brought out to help.

They built the caves on the island and various "security installations". When they started to open roads and blow up mountains, they usually asked for their help.

However, I hope that each team in our village will have at least ten people, a combination of eight men and two women. When the time comes, as long as the organization needs us, we can immediately take over. "

“How can such a big thing be moved to our island? Can our small dock be able to unload it?”

 “The second team also supports it.”

Thinking of this, Lao Lu instantly became attentive: "Duoyu, just tell me directly, what do you want us to do after the project starts?"

Those who came to attend the meeting this time learned that they were excited after they had to engage in a windmill and after they had to engage in submarine cables.

 Li Duoyu said seriously: "

If the new wharf is willing to build a house, he plans to grab a foundation there first.

 However, due to the lack of electricity, there are very few televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines, and there are only a few in the whole village combined.

“This is why I’m meeting with everyone. This thing definitely can’t be transported from our dock. The organization plans to build a new deep-water port at the northeast corner of Dandan Island, where Beilan leads.”

“Damn, there’s a submarine cable coming.” Wang Xianghong couldn’t help but get excited after hearing this: “After the submarine cable comes, then our island’s electricity supply will not be a problem in the future.”

 The overall person in charge of the entire project is the Provincial Science and Technology Commission, and the person in charge of construction is the Construction Bureau. The meeting lasted until the end.

If they also participate in this project, just bring in one or two companies, and there really won’t necessarily be a shortage of people.

"That's definitely impossible. The big ship where Director Li sold eels last time didn't even dare to get close, let alone the ship that transported such large items."

 “Ah, want to build a new pier?”

“The project started construction officially half a month later. This time I went to a meeting, but the organization did not clarify which work we were going to do.

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

“Let me simply tell you that for these four wind turbines, not only will a new pier be built, but submarine cables will also be laid directly to our island.”

Moreover, Li Duoyu discovered that at that meeting, there was a "leader" wearing a green uniform and hat. He was responsible for the security of coastal waters, and the village militia company was also under their control.

The organization does not require you to work, but if you feel that you don’t have to work, you will probably be disliked by others.

 Later, the production brigade was disbanded, and most of the small fishing boats were given to them. Those in Banyao and at the end of the village were all given some sandy land for growing sweet potatoes and corn.

Beilanling has an excellent geographical location, right in the middle of Xiasha Village and Chenjia Village.

 Li Duoyu nodded.

Zhang Jinsha, who was sitting nearby, wiped his face and said disgustedly: "Comrade Xiang Hong, can you be more careful? Your saliva is sprayed on my face."

Although Beilan is three or four kilometers away from Xiasha Village, if we really want to build a deep-water terminal, the future development will definitely be very good.

Some people are discussing what electrical appliances to buy, but others smell opportunities.

 The richest people on Dandan Island are almost all concentrated near the pier.

 Some people are even planning to buy a TV set. Xiasha Village is relatively wealthy, with nearly 100,000-yuan households in the village.

 Zhang Erhu said on the spot:

"That must be the top. If someone comes to our island to help us build a big windmill, if we don't help, we will be looked down upon if this is said out. I don't know what the situation is with other teams. Anyway, our militia company Unconditional support.”

 It can be said that as long as your family lives here at the dock and you are not particularly lazy, you can still make money.

Village cadre Zhang Jinsha’s mouth was wide open.

Because they are close to the pier, many of them have also become fishmongers. It can be said that the entire profitable business on Dandan Island is concentrated here at the pier.

At the meeting in Rongcheng, not only him, but also Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao could barely get a word in.

 When the fishing team was still there, they were assigned to fish because they lived at the dock.

Wang Xianghong hurriedly said: "You don't understand how much it costs to lay a submarine cable to our island. This is a big project."

 Lao Lu feels that if the new wharf is really built, maybe a new village will appear there.

ˆ “.”

Seeing everyone raising their hands in support, Li Duoyu said on the spot: "Thank you everyone for your support. Let's do this for now. Let's mobilize in the next few days and strive to draw up a list for me in these two days."

 “Okay, let’s do that.”

Just when Li Duoyu was about to break up the meeting, village cadre Zhang Jinsha suddenly asked:

“Duoyu, wait a minute, I have a question. After our electricity is developed, Chenjiacun will definitely use it too.”

"Um."

 Li Duoyu nodded.

Although the organization didn't say it clearly, Beilan Territory is right in the middle of the two villages, so there is no reason not to use it for them.

Zhang Jinsha said: "Then if they also want to use electricity, we can't be the only ones providing help. They should also have some help."

 When Zhang Jinsha said this, some village cadres and captains immediately echoed:

 “That’s right, I think Jin Sha is right too.”

“We are the ones who can’t work. When the time comes, they will just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. This makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.”

“How many people we provide, they must provide as many people, otherwise, they will not be given electricity.”

“That’s right, our village got this project, but they didn’t contribute much. We should let them do more work.”

Li Duoyu glanced at everyone and felt that they were right. He had indeed ignored Chenjiacun.

Logically speaking, this wind power project is a matter for the entire island. Even if there is really no shortage of people by then, or there is no need for many villagers to help, Chenjiacun must have an attitude.

 You can’t do nothing and still get benefits in the end. In this case, the people working in Xiasha Village will have objections.

Maybe it will cause conflicts between the two villages. During his time as village director, Li Duoyu also handled many disputes.

 Human nature is very fragile in the face of interests. Zhou Xiaoying once told him a famous saying: Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.

 Many brothers had a very good relationship before the family separation, but once the family separated, they started to care about everything. For example, the Zhao brothers even counted every brick and tile. Li Duoyu rubbed his chin and thought for a while.

“Jinsha, I think what you say makes sense, so let’s do this. I’ll leave this matter to you, and you’ll have to deal with it with Chenjiacun.”

"oh."

Seeing that Li Duoyu asked him to take charge of this matter, Zhang Jinsha was stunned for a moment. If he had known that this matter would fall on him, he would not have said this.

 Chenjia Village has a very serious clan concept. The chairman of their village ancestral hall committee is the village director, a very old antique.

 He has no skills, he just likes to show off, and what annoys him the most is that every time something happens, those old men don't like to make their own decisions.

 Either burn incense and ask about your ancestors.

Either worship Mazu and decide by throwing wild rice.

Even now, people in Xiasha Village are not very willing to have too much contact with people in Chenjia Village.

 Zhang Jinsha frowned and said:

“Director Li, I think this matter needs to be dealt with on your own. They still owe you a favor. It would be easier to handle it if you leave it to you.”

Lao Li, who had said little during the entire process, suddenly said: "I also think that Jinsha really can't handle this matter. People in Chenjiacun are also face-conscious, so it's best for you to come forward."

 Li Duoyu sighed.

His biological father has said so, so he probably has to make a trip. To be honest, he really doesn’t want to go to Chenjia Village because he is afraid of being borrowed money.

What everyone didn’t expect was that Wang Dapao, who was sitting aside and almost silent, suddenly said:

“If Director Li is not free, I can go with Jinsha. I have had several meetings with Chairman Chen of their village, and we are relatively familiar with him.”

When Wang Dapao said this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a while, Party Secretary Wang became more eloquent in his speech.

Li Duoyu hurriedly said:

“It would be best if Party Secretary Wang takes action, but then it would be troublesome for Party Secretary Wang and Comrade Zhang Jinsha.”

 After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he looked at his watch.

“Okay, it’s getting late. Let’s adjourn the meeting. Let’s go back to have dinner. Remember to give me the list in two days.”

When everyone is almost gone.

Wang Dapao, who was leaning on crutches, called Zhang Jinsha and couldn't help but ask: "Jinsha, let me ask you something. Did Director Li run this project?"

 Zhang Jinsha frowned and thought for a while:

“I’m not sure, but it must have something to do with Director Li.”

“Director Li, you are really talented. He has only been the village director for two years. Our village has changed a lot.”

Zhang Jinsha glanced at Wang Dapao and remembered that he had been working with him for more than ten years without knowing it.

Wang Dapao was quite young when he first became the captain of the brigade, but he didn't expect to be an old man with white hair now.

 Zhang Jinsha said lightly:

“Captain, you were pretty good when you first took office. Our village ranked first in the town for several years in a row.”

When Wang Dapao heard this, he fell silent and sighed heavily.

Li Duoyu returned home and found that Little Fatty had not taken off his schoolbag and the red scarf was still tied around his neck. He was beating a top with a rope in the courtyard. Every time he whipped the top, the top that was about to fall would start spinning again.

 Zhang Lin, Zhang Yun, and Xiao Tutu stood aside and watched carefully.

Zhang Lin, who looked more and more like a tomboy, asked: "Brother, you have been playing for a long time, can you play with me instead?"

Little Tutu kept staring at the top with his round eyes. Several times, he wanted to rush over and grab the top, but luckily he was stopped by Zhang Yun.

Li Haoran said with an air of dignity: "It's very difficult to play top. Do you know how to do it?"

 “I’ll know after I try it.”

Li Haoran gave Zhang Lin the whip tied with a rope: "Then give it a try."

 After Zhang Lin got the whip and the top, she didn’t know how to make the top spin.

Li Haoran said proudly: "I told you that you don't know how to play a top, but if you still don't believe me, just watch and I will teach you again.

 Isn’t there a waist in the middle of the top? First put the thread in, then wrap it around a few times, hold the top and stick in your right hand, and then throw it out quickly. "

 After Li Haoran finished speaking, the top flew out quickly and started spinning on the ground in the courtyard.

 Seeing the top spinning again, little Tutu let out a sharp laugh, looking very happy.

Li Haoran continued: "When you are about to fall, hit it quickly, and hit it diagonally, not the bottom of the top, but let the rope hang to the waist of the top."

Seeing the top spinning faster and faster, Zhang Lin said excitedly: "Brother, give me the whip first."

"You have to draw it carefully. If the top falls over, I will draw it next time."

While they were playing, Chen Huiying, who was busy in the kitchen, said: "When playing, pay attention to Little Tutu. If you catch him, I will confiscate your top."

 “I got it, Grandma.”

“Zhang Yun is holding on to little Tutu, but I can’t draw him.”

 A group of children were playing with tops so seriously that they didn't even notice he was back.

Li Duoyu saw them playing tops and suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he also had a top that looked the same as this one.

I guess Li Haoran also made this spinning top for you.

The difference is that when Li Duoyu played with tops when he was a child, Zhou Xiaoying also wanted to play, but when he was a child, he was like a stingy bag and wouldn't let Zhou Xiaoying touch him.

 She was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him for a month or two. Thinking about it, she was really ashamed.

Li Duoyu is still a little doubtful whether Xiaoying is used to being bullied by him, so she married him.

 Speaking of this matter.

Li Duoyu really wanted to ask Zhou Xiaoying why she wanted to marry him when there were so many people chasing him and even though he had such a good opportunity.

Just when Li Duoyu was thinking about something, little Tutu spotted him first and ran over: "Dad, hug him."

Li Duoyu picked up little Tutu and gently touched his little face twice with his beard, making him laugh.

After seeing Li Duoyu, Xiao Pang Dun smiled flatteringly and said, "Uncle, you are back."

Li Duoyu asked casually: "Your aunt hasn't come back yet."

"Not yet. There are a lot of things at school recently, and aunt usually doesn't get home until after six o'clock."

 “That’s it.”

After seeing Li Duoyu, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun wanted to call out, "Hello, uncle," but they held it back. They were so nervous that they even forgot to whip the top.

Little Fatty also became very nervous and said hello to the person behind Li Duoyu: "Hello, principal~~"

“Haoran, I haven’t even put down my schoolbag yet, and I’m already playing with a top.”

 “Go and release it immediately.”

When the principal said this, Li Haoran immediately returned to the room and took off his schoolbag, and then did not dare to come out.

Li Duoyu, who heard the sound, turned around and found a middle-aged man walking up the **** carrying two bags of things.

“Principal Zhu, why are you here?”
