1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 513 The men of the Li family gather together again

 “Dong dong dong!”

 “Cheng clang clang clang!”

The gongs and drums on the big ship were ringing intensively, and everyone’s faces were filled with smiles. The eldest cousin Li Shuguang deliberately left two fireworks unlit just for this moment.

After the fireworks exploded in the sky during the day, the stern end of the more than 40-meter-long fishing boat slowly slid along the rails in the dock into the Wujiang River.

 After the fishing boat slid to the designated location, it stopped. Because it was low tide, the fishing boat could not sail immediately.

 It is necessary to wait until the tide rises to ensure that the fishing boat can maintain balance on the left and right sides before launching it out of the shipyard port.

Most of the people who went to attend the launching ceremony this time were the future crew members of this fishing boat, and my uncle and uncle were also there.

 Many crew members saw this kind of large fishing boat for the first time. Everyone was very excited and looked around on the boat.

 “Damn, it’s really big enough.”

 More than twenty years ago, he boarded a ship for the first time in his life, and he was almost the same age as his son now.

 After some veteran crew members came to the ship, they paid more attention to major equipment such as engines, generators and winches.

 Originally, the two trawlers, Mr. Li and Mr. Li, combined, were not as long as this fishing boat.

Chen Liang chuckled: "Dad, if I live in the same room with Lao Gao again, you can change places with me."

After getting up, the first thing I wanted to do was choose a comfortable bed, and then I criticized the captain of the fishing team at the time.

His stinky feet have been cured by the young doctor who came to their island last time, and they no longer stink.

Li Duoyu, his uncle, his third uncle, and his cousin gathered in the cab of the fishing vessel.

 Chen Youquan looked at his son and couldn't help but smile. Damn it, he was indeed his biological son.

 While the two were chatting, a middle-aged man had a dark face the whole time and couldn't help but sigh. He really wanted to say something.

 The cabins of this new ship are all made of camphor wood. Li Zhengfa's tugboat used to have two cabins, but now it has four rooms and more than 30 beds.

At that time, it took the island fishing team two years to build the first tugboat, which was later Li Niantian’s tugboat.

 “You’re so itchy, how dare you threaten your father with this?”

 In a few years, it will be impossible to buy such a large fishing boat with less than a few hundred thousand.

This new fishing boat has done a good job in terms of safety. There is also a special place for placing the water separation board. There are safety stations on both sides of the fishing boat when the net is lowered. As long as the operation is standardized, there is no fear of people being dragged by the net rope. Gone to the sea.

 At that time, because he performed well in the brigade, he became a member of the fishing team.

 “I am still your father.”

 Because this big boat actually has the same price as his fishing boat, maybe this is the dividend of the times!

 Chen Liang's father thought for a while, and after thinking about the smell of Lao Gao's feet, he frowned and said, "Let's talk about it later. As for the four rooms, you may not be assigned to the same room as Lao Gao."

　Since then, there has been a new rule, which is that the place where the crew sleeps is determined by drawing lots.

 The bed is obviously much larger than before, so it is not a problem for two people to lie down and sleep together.

Chen Liang found a good bed and sat up straight away: "This location is good. I will sleep here from now on, Black Dog. How about we just stay in this room, so we don't have to share the same room with Lao Gao?" ”

Standing in the bridge and looking over, the entire deck of the ship and the sea beyond the bow can be seen quite clearly.

Chen Liang's father snorted coldly on the side: "You think so, you can't just choose the bed you want. When the time comes, which room everyone sleeps in will be determined by drawing lots."

This cab is quite spacious, even much larger than an ordinary bedroom, and has two large pieces of glass.

“If you don’t change with me, I will make you an extinct one.”

 Chen Youquan looked at his son and suddenly remembered what happened more than 20 years ago.

The bosses of this ship are the uncle and the third uncle. Li Duoyu has no intention of joining the ship because he is engaged in breeding.

 “I definitely won’t be able to stop, there’s no need to think about it.”

Li Duoyu looked at the steel fishing boat in front of him, which was more than 40 meters long and more than 6 meters wide, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

 But for young crew members like Chen Liang and Hei Gou, what matters more is a place to sleep and rest.

Li Duoyu has talked with him. Currently, shipyards are not profitable. On the contrary, they lose money every time they build a large ship.

 Chen Liang finally heard it, and his father didn't want to change with him at all: "I am your son."

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, as the tide rose, white waves lapped at the dock.

 However, due to policy reasons, even if they do not make money, they have to bite the bullet and continue doing it, because the shipbuilding industry is a very important part of the national strategic development.

 Li Duoyu is the largest shareholder of this fishing vessel. He alone owns 30% of the shares of this ship.

“The dock in our village shouldn’t be able to accommodate this ship.”

“Of course we have to draw lots, otherwise everyone will be like you. Who will sleep in those bad beds? We are here to fish, not on vacation.”

 “Damn it, we have to draw lots.”

 Coincidentally, the head of Longwei Shipyard also went to Hong Kong Island with Li Duoyu and the others two months ago.

 This steel fishing boat overall exceeded Li Duoyu's expectations. The shipbuilding took a little longer, more than a year, but every detail of the fishing boat was handled very well.

After studying at the Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School for more than a month, the uncle and the third uncle have mastered the skills of sailing a large fishing boat and can also use all the mechanical equipment on the boat.

The steel fishing boat also slowly floated. The boss of the boat, Li Niantian, shouted to the crew on the deck: "Don't stand on the same side, stand in the middle."

Nearly an hour later, the large fishing boat floated. The balance of the whole boat was very good and there was no tilt.

At this moment, the whistle of the large fishing boat sounded. Immediately afterwards, the fishing boat began to reverse, the propeller turned, and slowly sailed towards the Wujiang River.

When the fishermen along the river saw this big boat, their faces were full of envy. Many of them used awning boats with bamboo poles.

 Some fishermen couldn't help but ask: "Does anyone know who owns this big boat?"

A fisherman who often goes to Qingkou Pier glanced at the fishing boat clearing the way in front: "If I'm not wrong, it should be from Li Duoyu and his family on Dandan Island."

 Speaking of this person, everyone seemed to have opened up their chat boxes, and everyone started gossiping.

“Have you heard that this young man recently set up a shrimp farm in Qixing Bay? It is said that the investment in the entire project is at least one million.”

“Damn it, it’s real or fake, we can’t even make a few hundred yuan, how did we get millions?”

A young fisherman said with a smile: "I heard it from someone at Rongcheng Pier. This Li Duoyu first cooperated with Manager An. But I don't know why, and then he kept working with Chen Yuanyu of Xinyuan Aquatic Products cooperate"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened: "Don't say half-spoken words, you will be beaten to death. What do you mean by that?" The young fisherman said: "I can't say specifically, that Chen Yuan Yuan is clearly chasing her. There are so many people, but they just refuse to find a partner

That Li Duoyu obviously didn't have much money before, but after cooperating with this Chen Yuanyu, he is now almost the richest man in our county. If these two people have nothing to do with each other, I won't believe it. "

After what he said, everyone thought it made sense, but some people still felt something was wrong: "That's not right, doesn't that Li Duoyu have children?"

"You don't understand. I heard from others that Boss Chen doesn't seem to like young people of the same age, but only likes those older than him."

 An old fisherman grinned and said: "So, people of my age also have a chance."

 A group of people looked at him with disgust.

“You are already over thirty, and even widows look down on you. What a chance.”

Just when they were chatting happily, the water waves caused by the big fishing boat shook their awning boat.

 “Damn, it’s so fierce!”

 “You can’t drive slower.”

Although everyone kept cursing, their faces were full of envy. More and more people are buying big boats in recent years.

 After more than half an hour of sailing, Minrong Fishing 056 arrived at the waters near Dandan Island. Due to the draft of the fishing boat, the steel fishing boat could not dock at the old pier and could only dock at the new pier.

As soon as the boat approached Dandan Island, cousin Li Shuguang set off another box of fireworks. At this time, a lot of villagers came to the new pier to watch. Since the pier is also very close to Chenjia Village, they even came with the villagers from their side. .

Looking at it from a distance, it doesn’t feel too big, but when this big fishing boat docked at the new pier, everyone could only look up at the fishing boat.

 “Damn, it’s so big.”

 “Taller than two floors above my house.”

 For fishermen, the bigger the boat, the better. The bigger the boat, the more money they make, the safer they are, and they can go further.

Old Lu, a fisherman, looked at the big boat in front of him and couldn't help but said: "Damn it, I've made money, I'll build one too."

At this time, his son-in-law couldn't help but said: "Dad, if we work hard for a few more years, maybe we can get a bigger ship."

 Lao Lu snorted: "Not long ago, didn't you run away just thinking about making money?"

 Zhang Yuansheng took a puff of cigarette.

“It feels the same wherever I go. Dandan Island is very good. I plan to stay on the island and develop.”

After hearing this, Lao Lu patted him on the shoulder: "It's best if you think so and work hard. If I get old in the future, this money and boat will not belong to you and Yanyan."

Zhang Yuansheng sighed. Half a month ago, he really planned to make money and leave Dandan Island directly, but he thought about it for a long time during this time.

The development of Dandan Island is really good. Even if I go to other places, it may not be better than the current Dandan Island.

 It was really uncomfortable to get along with Yanyan at the beginning, but as time went by, it just felt like that, and he didn't know why. Now, he was suddenly looking forward to the birth of his child.

Zhang Yuansheng couldn't understand it himself. He obviously wanted to escape from Dandan Island from the beginning, but after living here for half a year, he didn't want to leave at all. On the contrary, it was particularly nice here, at least more humane than his village.

 Zhang Yuansheng looked at Li Duoyu who was chatting and laughing with everyone on the dock from a distance. He suddenly said: "Dad, can you introduce me to Director Li? I want to work in his shrimp farm."

 After hearing this, the corners of Lao Lu's mouth twitched, and he instantly understood why this kid didn't want to leave.

"talk later."

After the Minrongyu 056 docked, the Li family immediately sent Mazu Empress on board back to Tianhou Palace.

 Next.

It was the banquet part. The Li family brought out a whole pig and set up more than 20 tables in the village square to entertain the villagers and crew members who helped this time.

According to the custom of Dandan Island, for major events such as buying a boat, a theater troupe must be invited to the village to perform operas.

 The night after the fishing boat came back, all the men with earning power in the Li family gathered together again.

 Uncle, eldest cousin, second cousin, third uncle, Li Yaoguo, Zhang Mingsheng.

Even the boy Li Qingguang came here. When everyone got together last year, he was not yet an adult. This year, his beard has grown longer and he does not look as young as before.

The uncle cleared his throat and said, "Duoyu, you have the largest share, why don't you tell me tonight."

 Li Duoyu shook his head: "Uncle, I am too busy on the breeding side, so I don't care about the ship. The specific matters are decided by my uncle and my third uncle."

After hearing this, Li Niantian smiled slightly. In fact, he was also waiting for Li Duoyu to say: "Okay, let me do it."

It is best for a fishing boat to have only one person in charge. If there are many people in charge, it will be difficult to manage.

Uncle Li Niantian said seriously: "As for this ship, the total cost after it is completed is 150,000 yuan. At present, we still have a loan of 100,000 yuan."

I am here today. I mainly want to tell you something. I have discussed with Zhengfa. The money earned by the fishing boats in the past two years will not be distributed as dividends, and the loan will be repaid first. Everyone is okay with this. "

 After several people with shares discussed it, they all replied: "No objection."

 Li Duoyu said: "I don't have any objection either."

Li Qingguang raised his hand and whispered: "I only share half of the shares. Even if you have any objections, you probably won't pay attention to me."

 After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh: "Half of the shares are also shareholders, can you please speak louder?"

 Next.

The men of the Li family gathered around the table to drink. After the new ship arrived at the port, the third uncle and the uncle couldn't help but want to sail out to fish.

“You know a lot about Duoyu, but there has been no fishing season in the past two months.”

 Seeing the two boat bosses asking themselves, Li Duoyu also frowned. In the past, if there was a boat going out, he could easily catch fish.

 But things seem to be a little different now, and even old fishermen like the uncle and third uncle are also in trouble.

This season was originally a fishing season for large yellow croakers, but now it is no longer a fishing season. Even large yellow croakers are not seen.

 In the past two months, there has been no fishing season in the waters near Dandan Island, but this season, Li Duoyu knows a place where he can catch mackerel.

“Uncle, third uncle, why don’t you go to Xiangshan Mountain? In the next two months, you can catch mackerel.”

Around Qingming Festival, it is the spring flood season for mackerel. They will migrate to Xiangshan Port to lay eggs and reproduce their offspring, just like the large yellow croaker will go to Sharp Sanduao to spawn when the time comes.

 At this time, Mackerel has not been specially protected, so it can still be fished.

Li Duoyu remembers that in his previous life, fishing for blue-spotted mackerel was prohibited from March to July due to heavy fishing.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. We’ll head to Xiangshan next week.”

Third uncle Li Zhengfa, who had had some wine, asked: "Duoyu, the fishing boat is sailing for the first time. Do you want to come with us?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and said with a smile:

“I won’t go this time. There are still a lot of things to do at the shrimp farm. Let’s go together next time.”
