1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 51 The End of Hanging Seedlings

 For kelp farmers.

 There are two periods of time that are the most difficult.

　　Respectively, during the period of hanging kelp seedlings, not only do you have to clip the kelp seedlings to the kelp rope, but you also have to go out early in the dark to grab some hanging seedlings.

 The other is during the kelp harvest period. When you dry it, you not only have to rely on God to reward you, but it’s also all manual labor.

 During the time when seedlings are hanging.

 Nearly twenty people are working continuously every day.

Several aunts who were steadfast in their vows at the beginning began to feel overwhelmed on the sixth day, and their family members came to take over.

 Because of the influence of cold air.

 The temperature on Dandan Island has cooled down a lot.

 Some ladies’ hands developed frostbite due to prolonged contact with cold kelp seedlings.

 At the end of the day, the number of kelp seedlings that could have been clamped from more than two thousand to more than a thousand was reduced by half, and the efficiency dropped by half.

 These days.

Li Duoyu's hands were also swollen like steamed buns. Because he kept pulling on the kelp rope, his palms were as rough as sandpaper and even cracked. Occasionally, traces of blood could be seen.

 Zhou Xiaoying was so distressed that she started crying.

 Stayed up late to knit a pair of woolen gloves for him.

 You can work in the sea. Wearing this kind of wool gloves is very inconvenient. After touching the water, it becomes more difficult to work. The most you can do is put it in your pocket to keep warm.

Even Lao Li and Chen Huiying, who have experienced hardships, can’t help but sigh: It is too difficult to raise kelp.

 It is much more troublesome than raising oysters.

 No wonder Chen Atai and his colleagues failed to grow kelp using their method.

However, after these ten days.

 The stone hanging in Lao Li's heart finally fell to the ground.

 What worries him most is.

 Laosi Li Duoyu wanted to raise kelp because he had a fever, but after observing these days, he found that Laosi really has a talent for raising kelp, and he is very efficient in everything he does.

What farmers like them fear most is that they have worked hard for so long and spent so much money, but in the end they will not see a harvest.

These days, Chen Dongqing has also transformed from a bespectacled young boy into a rough guy with a full beard.

 Old dog Chen Wenchao had thought he would be tired, but he never thought he would be so tired, but Brother Yu persisted.

 He did not give up, gritting his teeth and persisting.

Now he sleeps on the bed every day.

 Although he earned only a fraction of what he earned when selling goods, he put the money he earned these days into his pocket.

 Holding it in my hand, I found it to be heavy.

I feel an indescribable sense of peace in my heart, and even my grandma has been smiling more recently.

 Chen Wenchao found that he is really handsome when he is down-to-earth and making money. Recently, even the big-ass Liu Xiaolan next door started to look at him seriously.

 He feels that he just needs to continue to hang out with Brother Yu.

 There is always a chance to marry her.

Now his grandma's biggest wish is that he find a wife as soon as possible, and then give birth to a bunch of fat babies, so that their Chen family can prosper.

 On the thirteenth day of clamping and hanging seedlings.

Li Duoyu finally finished hanging 30 acres of kelp seedlings, and the aunts who originally thought the money was good money all breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were relieved.

 They found that the money was too difficult to earn.

They all said that if they were asked to pick up kelp seedlings next time, they would have to pay more.

 At the end.

Someone also came from the Lianjiang County Fisheries Research Institute. It was Zhang Qingyun, the section chief of my uncle Chen Dongqing.

When I came here, I brought a wooden sign with big red flowers on it, with the characters "Dandan Island Kelp Breeding Experimental Base" engraved on it, and the signature of Lianjiang Fisheries Research Institute underneath.

 After giving away the sign.

Zhang Qingyun took a sampan to visit the base. He was really surprised when he looked at the 30 acres of kelp farming rafts in front of him.

“Li Duoyu, you are doing well with these thirty acres of kelp. I feel it is no worse than those in the breeding bases in the north.”

Li Duoyu grinned and said:

“If it weren’t for the support of Section Chief Zhang and the research institute, as well as Comrade Dongqing’s technical guidance during this period, ten of us would not have been able to do it.”

After hearing this, Chen Dongqing glanced at Li Duoyu and frowned slightly. When did this guy become so smart? Even though you did all the work yourself, you praised everyone.

Section Chief Zhang glanced at Chen Dongqing and patted him on the shoulder: "You performed very well this time. The institute thinks highly of you."

 Chen Dongqing asked in a low voice:

“Has the director approved my application?”

Zhang Qingyun coughed twice: "We all see what you have done. Don't worry. If there is no problem, the director will come in person in about six months."

 After Chen Dongqing heard this.

 I immediately understood what Section Chief Zhang meant.

 For people like them who engage in scientific research, results are the most important. If there is no success, everything is in vain.

Only if this project is successful, your application will be approved.

 Chen Dongqing couldn't help but glance at Li Duoyu.

Damn it, my great future is all tied to this good nephew's belt.

 Next.

 Everyone took a photo with the sign of the breeding base, and then the people from the Fisheries Research Institute planned to leave.

 Before leaving.

Li Duoyu pulled Chen Dongqing aside, took out seven big unity cards, and stuffed them directly into Chen Dongqing's pocket.

 After taking out the seven great unity cards.

 Chen Dongqing was very angry: "Don't you look down on your uncle? I've told you a long time ago that this is my job, and I have the country to pay me wages."

Li Duoyu said in disgust:

“It’s not for you, please don’t be too sentimental over there. This money is for my aunt and Wenwen to buy new clothes.”

“You idiot, it’s not your turn to buy clothes for my wife and daughter. If I want to buy them, I’ll spend my money to buy them for her.”

Li Duoyu narrowed his eyes and smiled:

 “To do it or not to do it?”

 Chen Dongqing gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and put the money into his pocket: "Damn it, being rich is amazing."

 “It’s necessary, otherwise why would everyone work so hard to make money?”

Li Duoyu looked proud.

 Subsequently, Li Duoyu followed the people from the Fisheries Research Institute to the dock and watched them leave.

to here,

Kelp seedlings are finally over.

Back at the small shack, Li Duoyu looked at the kelp breeding raft. Today, the kelp breeding raft is like a sea pasture. The kelp seedlings sway gently with the waves, glowing with a faint black light.

 And wait until everyone has evacuated.

Chen Huiying set up a table on the shore filled with tributes.

 This time, their whole family was here, including Zhou Xiaoying, who was pregnant.

 Because I haven’t had a good inspection for more than ten days.

 Li Duoyu found that her belly had grown again and she could only wear skirts now.

Li Duoyu pressed her head against Zhou Xiaoying’s belly and said, “Er, your father has finally finished making kelp seedlings. When you are born, you will have kelp soup to drink.”

Chen Huiying glanced at him with disgust.

“Children are fed breast milk, how can they drink seaweed soup?”

 Following.

The whole family held up the incense sticks in their hands and bowed to the heaven and earth first, praying for good weather.

 Then, worship Mazu.

 Pray for the safety of the whole family.

 Finally, Li Duoyu lit the firecrackers, which means that the festival will be prosperous next.

 Kelp hanging seedlings,

 Officially ended.

   Thank you all for your support and encouragement, please read and vote.
