1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 429 The trawler came back and the second sister-in-law left

After being rejected by Li Duoyu, the second sister-in-law looked very ugly, with a straight face, as if everyone owed her a lot of money.

 But she really couldn't understand it. It was obvious that this was a way to make a lot of money, so why didn't she accept it?

That’s three hundred thousand!

The total savings of the entire Xiasha Village, whether they have this amount or not, is a question.

Zhu Xiuhua was so angry that she had no appetite to eat. She brought the salt-baked chicken that her mother had given her directly to her son.

“Haoran, I see that you have lost a little weight recently. Eat more to gain weight.”

Li Haoran grinned: "Grandma often makes food for me, so you should eat it."

Zhu Xiuhua was also very happy to see her son being so sensible: "I follow the big boss outside and eat lots of meat and fish every day. I'm a little tired of it."

 Li Haoran, who was still young, couldn't tell whether what A Niang said was true or false. He was so greedy that he couldn't help but eat.

After eating, Ba Ba Ba squeaked and came over with the quilt in his arms: "I want to sleep with you."

Li Yaoguo smiled and said, "Okay, just sleep in the middle."

As a result, as soon as he put down the quilt, his mother took him back to his small room: "The bed is so small, and you are getting fatter and fatter now. If you lie in the middle, how can we sleep? You are so big, you can sleep by yourself."

Li Haoran was a little aggrieved. He was said to have lost weight just now, but now he is said to be fat.

Late at night, Li Yaoguo, who was extremely tired, wiped the sweat from his forehead and really wanted to sleep, but Zhu Xiuhua still had a look of resentment on his face and kept complaining.

"Yao Guo, are you out of your mind for saying there are too many fish? You won't sell them for 300,000 yuan."

Li Yaoguo, who was so tired that he just wanted to sleep, said feebly: "Don't think about it, my brother probably won't sell it."

"There must be a reason why he refuses to sell it."

“Let me tell you, you don’t understand. Anyway, this money can’t even buy an eel factory, let alone the entire Minlong Food. Okay, I’m going to bed.”

"I've only been back once in more than a month. Why are you such a waste?"

In the two days since Zhu Xiuhua returned to the island, she did not go to visit relatives. Instead, she kept bothering Li Duoyu.

As long as he was free, he would come over to lobby, but when it came to the end, she was so angry that she almost exploded, and Li Duoyu remained unmoved.

 It’s almost the third day.

The second sister-in-law has also given up completely, packed her things again, and is preparing to leave Dandan Island and continue to the Haixin Eel Factory.

 In order to see his mother off, Xiao Pangdun asked Teacher Zhou for a leave.

On the other side of the pier, Little Fatty's eyes suddenly turned red: "Mom, can you please not leave? I really miss you in the past two months since you were gone."

Zhu Xiuhua was also very reluctant to give up.

He touched Li Haoran's head and said, "I'll be back soon. When I make money, I'll buy you more toys."

As soon as he heard that he was going to be given a toy, the little chubby Li Haoran was very happy for a moment, but when he thought about it, he would not be able to see his mother-in-law for a long time.

Li Haoran shook his head like a rattle.

“I don’t want toys anymore, Mom, can you stay on the island and make money with Dad?”

 “I’ll be back soon.”

At this moment, the iron boat that came to pick up the second sister-in-law sounded its whistle, probably urging her to leave quickly.

 “He’s gone.”

Before leaving, Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "Second sister-in-law, is the breeding technician in your company named Zhang Xuejin?"

The second sister-in-law looked surprised:

"How did you know."

“I was his colleague for a while when I was teaching at Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School.”

Zhu Xiuhua was startled for a moment, thinking they were joking. She never thought that Li Duoyu actually taught in school.

 “Duoyu, you really taught to technical secondary school students.”

“I can’t talk about teaching, I can only talk about imparting experience.”

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said clearly: "There is a high probability that they will not be able to do eel farming. You should quit as soon as possible. I have read the contract between you and the eel farming factory. If things go wrong, you may Being held accountable.”

The second sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said: "If you are so worried about me, why not teach me the eel farming techniques."

Li Duoyu smiled bitterly and said:

“To tell you the truth, there is really no way to teach me. I am not sure about raising eels myself. I rely on quantity to win. There are more than a dozen common eel diseases, and to be more specific, there are even dozens.”

Zhu Xiuhua’s eyes widened: “You didn’t lie to me, there are so many problems with eels.”

Li Duoyu smiled: "Do you know why schools have aquaculture majors but rarely fishery majors?"

The second sister-in-law shook her head.

“Because it is really difficult to raise eels, and among all aquatic products, eels are one of the more difficult to raise.”

Li Duoyu is absolutely right. He wants to engage in aquaculture in this era when aquatic antibiotics are not widely used.

The difficulty is really very high.

　In my previous life, it was relatively simple. Even if you didn’t have professional breeding knowledge, infections with bacteria, viruses, etc. could often be cured by just giving antibiotics.

 But in this era, there are not enough drugs for human use, so it is impossible to produce drugs specifically for breeding.

 The foundation of all breeding can only be based on prevention, and if you want to do a good job in prevention, you must have very comprehensive breeding knowledge.

Li Duoyu worked in a large eel factory and has been engaged in eel farming for six or seven years. It can be said that he has seen almost all eel diseases.

Even though he has experienced many battles, Li Duoyu cannot guarantee that he will be able to raise eels well in this era. The only thing he can do is to raise them in separate ponds and water to minimize risks.

 Once prevention fails and there happens to be no suitable Chinese herbal medicine for treatment, it will only depend on luck.

 It is because there are so many uncertainties that Li Duoyu did not breed eels in advance in order to avoid risks.

 Because the delivery time he signed with the eel buyer in the island country was the period before Tu Yongchou.

Li Duoyu just needs to ensure that the eels are raised to the corresponding size within that time period.

 There is absolutely no need to raise the eel early. If you raise it too early, it is very likely that the eel will become larger and exceed the delivery specification.

 After these days of getting along, not only Li Duoyu also noticed it, but Zhou Xiaoying also noticed it.

 Second sister-in-law seems to have changed. Although she is still very talkative, she seems to have become a little more reasonable and can speak well.

But the biggest change is that the second sister-in-law has become stronger and more haggard. Li Duoyu accidentally saw her hands yesterday, which were even scarier than the first year he braved the cold to engage in kelp farming.

Li Duoyu felt that the second sister-in-law was very loyal to that company, but that company might not take her seriously.

After all, those who breed are all made of real materials. You will know if it is a donkey or a horse, and it is easy to tell if it is a donkey or a horse. As for the second sister-in-law's half-empty bucket of water, it will probably be swallowed up by someone in two shakes.

 After being squeezed dry and having no effect, it is very likely to be used as a coolie again. It is impossible to say that the second sister-in-law really did a hundred yuan of work for a hundred yuan of wages.

Seeing her turning around and about to board the ship, Li Duoyu suddenly said: "Second sister-in-law, if you really want to quit over there, just quit as soon as possible. This can minimize the loss."

After hearing this, the little chubby guy on the side also persuaded me: "Aniang, please come back. It's great to be on the island."

Zhu Xiuhua thought for a while and replied: "If I really quit, then my four or five months would have been in vain." Seeing that there was really nothing he could do, Li Duoyu stopped continuing the topic.

 In the shed at the dock, a group of women all looked at Zhu Xiuhua with envy.

"Xiuhua has turned over, there is actually a special ship to pick her up."

“She is so lucky to have such a good-tempered brother-in-law who secretly learned his skills and even came to the dock to see her off.”

“I also want to be a relative of his family.”

“Who doesn’t want to? If Director Li is not married, I will marry him even if he is not married.”

"Come on, if you want to get married, you have to be liked by someone else."

As the whistle sounded, the master who had already untied the boat rope urged on the spot: "We have to leave quickly. Do we have to go haul the goods later?"

Seeing that the iron boat started to rush, Zhu Xiuhua picked up large and small bags, looked back at Li Haoran, and warned:

“You must listen to your aunt’s words, don’t be too playful, and study hard, you know?”

Li Haoran looked reluctant to give up:

 “Mom, can you please not leave?”

The second sister-in-law did not reply to him, but boarded the boat without looking back. The whistle sounded again, and the iron boat immediately reversed.

The eel fry season is coming soon, and the second sister-in-law will probably become even busier. Maybe the next time we meet will be during the Chinese New Year.

 Li Duoyu glanced at Li Yaoguo who was smoking beside him: "Why are you like a wooden man, not even trying to save a few words?"

Li Yaoguo smoked a cigarette and sighed: "I have said nice things a long time ago. If she could listen, she would have listened to her a long time ago. With her character, it's not like you don't know that she won't break her head and bleed. How can I know how to turn back?”

Li Duoyu was silent for a while, it seemed that this was really the case, but in his previous life, he seemed to be even more unreasonable than his second sister-in-law.

Even though the whole family objected to her smuggling out of the country, he still borrowed a loan shark and smuggled to the island country.

Seeing Li Haoran looking at the direction the tin boat was leaving and crying all the time, Li Duoyu suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

 Because this scene seemed a bit familiar. When he smuggled to the island country, it was a moonless night.

 They drove a small sampan to the open sea, and then boarded a large ship bound for Hong Kong Island.

That night, Zhou Xiaoying came to see off her five-year-old child on her back. It is hard to imagine how Zhou Xiaoying and his son felt at that time.

Seeing Li Haoran crying his nose out, his second brother Li Yaoguo quickly tried to coax him, but he couldn't coax him well at all.

He was so angry that he said on the spot: "Stop crying and go back to class quickly. I only gave you two classes off."

Hearing this, Little Fatty cried even harder.

“You don’t love me at all, I’m so sad, and you still want me to go to class.”

Li Yaoguo's mouth twitched, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Haoran, if you are so sad, just don't go to school today. I will ask your aunt to give you private tutoring in the evening. The principal has praised you for your good grades recently, so you can't fall behind."

Little Fatty suddenly stopped crying and sucked back the snot from his nose on the spot, then wiped his face with his sleeves, a look of grievance on his face.

 “I’m going to class, but it still doesn’t work.”

Li Haoran, who was carrying his schoolbag, looked aggrieved and walked slowly towards the school.

Li Yaoguo smiled and said: "You are still good. If you don't use a stick, I really can't do anything against him."

Li Duoyu said calmly: "Communicate if you can, and try less. This will save you from being extubated when you get older."

In this era, it is indeed the most efficient to beat children when they are disobedient, but to be honest, it is really unnecessary. Li Duoyu has seen beating children into filial sons, and also seen beating into enemies.

Without thinking, just when Li Duoyu was about to return to the eel factory, he heard a familiar whistle and glanced not far away.

They were two trawlers, one big and one small, painted in blue and white paint. Li Duoyu knew which trawler they belonged to before the boat docked.

 After seeing the two ships, Li Yaoguo sighed with emotion: "The third uncle and the uncle have been out at sea for a long time."

 “It’s a bit long.”

“Duoyu, I’m going to the eel factory first. Xiaochao has bought a lot of cloves in the past two days. I’ll help him settle the account.”

 “Okay, sorry to trouble you.”

Li Duoyu did not leave the pier, but waited for his uncle and third uncle at the pier.

 About five minutes later.

Uncle San’s trawler was the first to dock. The crew members, who had been at sea for two months, had already packed their quilts and clothes, and carried them all on their backs.

Before the boat could stop, Chen Liang, who had long been driven crazy, jumped out first. When he got down to the pier, he was so moved that he almost cried.

 “Damn it, I’m finally home.”

He was planning to go home, take a shower and have a good sleep, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Hei Gou looking lovingly at his newly married daughter-in-law.

 “I’ll do it.”

Chen Liang felt that these two people would definitely have an earth-shattering fight at night.

 In fact, Chen Liang’s guess was not wrong. Those who run boats usually do the first thing when they get home, and then take a shower first, and then they have to exercise more quickly.

 Because in their profession, no one can guarantee when they will go to sea next time. Sometimes, there are more tides and floods, and they have to rest for two days before going to sea again.

However, the prerequisite for exercise is that you must have a wife. A single like him can only use his imagination by looking at posters.

 Chen Youquan looked at his son with disgust: "If you are envious, go find one quickly."

Chen Liang snorted on the spot: "I've been on the boat all day, with a group of old men who don't take showers. How am I going to find one? I might as well ask a matchmaker to help me find a beautiful one."

The second uncle who had just got off the boat said with a smile: "What's the use of being pretty? Can you keep it? For people like us who run boats, it's best to find someone who is similar and has a big **** from the Gu family."

“If you find someone who is too beautiful, you are likely to help others support their wives and children.”

Li Duoyu smiled. What these people said was quite right. When a crew member is looking for a wife, they really won’t look for someone who is too beautiful.

Mainly crew members, they may be floating outside for more than 300 days a year. If the wife is too beautiful, even if she can endure it, there will be many people who covet her.

 This kind of thing happened on Dandan Island. The group of people who eventually ran away from the boat were a bit taboo about finding a particularly beautiful wife.

The young crew members left first, while some older crew members were not so anxious and stayed to help move the trawl net to the dock, intending to dry it out and mend it again.

Li Duoyu also helped by the way. After seeing his third uncle, he felt that he looked quite haggard and his beard had grown long.

Compared with when I saw him on Ludao before, he looked a little more haggard, but there was light in his eyes.

Li Duoyu asked: "Uncle Third, will the harvest be good in the next few days?"

The third uncle replied: "I used your squid fishing method, and it really worked. I didn't lose money this time, but made a lot of money. Let's go tomorrow and I'll give you your share."

 “There’s no rush for this.”

Uncle San looked at the fishing port in confusion: "What happened to our village today? Why are there so few fishing boats? When we just came back, we passed near Xijia Reef. Why are there so many fishing boats there."
