1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

When Li Duoyu came to the eel factory with a flashlight, it was already slightly bright, just as he expected.

As expected, the eel factory had a big problem. Half of the roof of the factory building fell off, and half of the large columns fell off.

Even the large iron gate and the surrounding fence were all blown down by the typhoon, and the scene was in a mess.

Seeing this scene, brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng and second brother Li Yaoguo also felt very heavy and couldn't help but sigh.

What they didn’t expect was that when they saw the lights at the eel factory, Chen Wenchao actually arrived here earlier than them.

When Li Duoyu saw him, he found that he was soaked all over, and his pair of liberation shoes were covered with mud. He didn't know when he got here.

 “Brother Yu, you are here.”

After seeing them, Chen Wenchao grinned and said with a naive smile: "Brother Yu, fortunately you reminded me to wrap the equipment with tarpaulin. The eel factory collapsed, but the equipment was not broken. I just tried it, and the diesel generator still works." It can be activated. I also looked at the eel pond and there was no landslide.”

Hearing this, Li Duoyu finally let go of his anxious heart. In fact, factory buildings and equipment are just trivial matters. The worst is to buy and rebuild them again.

What he is most worried about is the eels in the ponds. These dozen eel ponds are worth hundreds of thousands.

Li Duoyu looked at Chen Wenchao and saw the tired look on his face. He frowned and asked, "Xiaochao, you didn't go back last night, did you?"

 Chen Wenchao shook his head like a rattle: "No, I just rushed here when the wind was light."

Li Duoyu frowned and stared at Chen Wenchao. Even though the wind strength was now level 8 or 9, it was at least level 10 an hour ago.

 But his intuition told Li Duoyu that this guy most likely came earlier.

“Next time, don’t brave a typhoon to come to the factory again. Do you know, you are the only child in the family. If something happens to you, your grandma will come to fight with me.”

 Chen Wenchao scratched his head: "I know."

 Li Duoyu came to the eel pond. There were all kinds of messy things floating in the pond. It may be due to the lack of oxygen after the typhoon. The eels that originally sank to the bottom also surfaced from time to time.

Half of the factory roof was blown down by the typhoon and sank into one of the eel ponds. It is not known whether the eels were killed.

Looking at the eel factory in front of him, Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a while, then said to his second brother: "Let's follow the process first, first test the water body, then sterilize and disinfect, and finally clean up the debris in the pond."

 Li Yaoguo nodded:

“Okay, then I will test the water first to see if there is any problem. Later I will directly use quicklime and boil some Chinese medicinal materials for sterilization and disinfection.”

 After arranging the arrangements for his second brother, Li Duoyu said to Chen Wenchao:

"By the way, Xiaochao, don't feed the eels in the past two days. First, observe the eels' condition to make sure they are not sick and have no gastrointestinal problems before feeding our diesel generator. If there is no problem, you can quickly put out the oxygenated water tanker. Go back to the pond and give the eels oxygen."

Chen Wenchao said seriously: "Okay, I'll put the water tanker back together right away."

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Wenchao who was soaked all over, frowned and said, "Now go home and soak your feet for me, and change into dry clothes before you come back to work."

“No need, Brother Yu, I can swim in the sea for a whole day. It’ll be fine if your clothes get wet.”

Before he could finish his words, Li Duoyu scolded with a dark face: "Just go back and change if I ask you to. Why are there so many things? You will catch a cold and have a fever later. Where can I find someone to help me with the work?"

Seeing Brother Yu getting angry, Chen Wenchao hurriedly said: "I'll go back and change clothes right away."

“Soak your feet in hot water as well.”

 “Okay, Brother Yu.”

After arranging the work at the eel factory, Li Duoyu walked two steps to the tidal flat without even seeing it.

At least tens of thousands of moso bamboos were planted on this tidal flat. Now most of them have been uprooted by typhoons, and some have been directly interrupted by strong waves.

At present, the edges of the tidal flat are densely covered with moso bamboo poles. These bamboo poles are useless and cannot be reused. However, if they are re-inserted, it will be another major project.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh and came to the pond. The dam was also covered with mud. At the same time, Li Duoyu found that there were several breaches in the pond.

Lao Li also woke up early. He rowed a small bamboo raft and used a bamboo pole to hook up the oyster seedlings that had been temporarily raised here. He observed them carefully and put them in front of his nose to smell them from time to time.

 Whether oysters are good or bad, for an experienced farmer like him, he can tell just by smelling them.

Li Duoyu asked: "Dad, how are these oyster sprouts? Are you smiling?"

　　Laugh when you hear it.

 Lao Li's face suddenly dropped: "What kind of mouth are you talking about? Can you please stop talking nonsense? These oysters are very good. How can you smile?"

 At this point, Lao Li suddenly got into trouble. The bamboo piles used to hang the oysters were all destroyed, even if the oysters were not dead.

 But next, how to raise it?

If thrown into the tidal flat, once covered with mud, or sunk into the mud, the oysters will die due to lack of oxygen.

 But now he really has no choice but to keep the oysters in the pond.

Li Duoyu saw that his father was so worried that his brows were almost twisted into a Sichuan shape, so he said: "Dad, I will take care of the bamboo pile matter. You hire some people to string up these oysters in the past two days and keep them on the beach temporarily. , If the bottom is sandy, the oysters will not die so easily. We will try to raise these oysters again within a month. "

 “Oh~Okay~”

 Lao Li is still a little unable to react. How come something that is very troublesome to him is so easy to talk about as a trivial matter in the mouth of his fourth son.

 Lao Li couldn't help but sigh, and had to admit that his child was indeed much better than him.

 He ​​worked so hard before because he was afraid of hearing people in the village say: Your children are so good at making money, so you don’t need to work and just enjoy the happiness.

Li Zhengtian has always wanted to prove that he is not old yet and is still a useful person, but the last time he made an unnecessary mistake and killed so many blue crabs, this incident made him feel guilty for a long time.

He had no idea how to raise oysters again, but with a few words from Duoyu, the matter was settled.

This made Lao Li understand one thing. The gap between him and his son is not as big as usual. Don't always think that it is his father who has lived so many years longer than him and thinks he knows more than him.

 Lao Li sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Just at this time, Shitou trotted over. When he saw Li Duoyu, he waved and said hello: "Brother Yu, I'm sorry, I'm late."

 Li Duoyu looked at him with disgust: "Why are you so thick-skinned? You ran to Shanshan's house before dawn. You are not afraid that Mrs. Wang will chase you away."

  Shi Shi was so embarrassed that his hands and feet felt a little uncomfortable: "Brother Yu, you have seen it all."

“Shanshan lives next door to me. I can smell a sour smell even from a distance without even looking.”

Stone chuckled: "Brother Yu, let me tell you that Sister Shanshan doesn't seem to reject me so much this time, and she also knows how to worry about me."

　　After hearing this, Li Duoyu's head was trembling: "Stop, don't tell me this. I'm almost exhausted from my work now."

Li Duoyu even began to suspect that this guy came to work for him just to consult him on emotional issues. Li Duoyu looked at the moso bamboos all over the beach, frowned and thought, Dazhu Village must have been affected by this typhoon, and there would probably be a lot of moso bamboos.

Everyone is very busy now and has things at hand. Li Duoyu glanced at Shitou and asked, "You should also know Brother Ou from Dazhu Village."

Stone nodded and said:

"We know each other. When he lived on our island for a few months the year before last, we drank together several times. I even know his daughter's name is Liu Shui."

 Liushui?

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched, thinking that Shitou didn't know how to pronounce the word "Miaomiao" at all.

"Okay, let me arrange something for you. You go to Dazhu Village to find him today and ask Brother Ou to transport a few more boats of moso bamboo to the island in the next two days. By the way, the road in their village may have collapsed. You want to Be prepared to walk into the village.”

"Okay, I'll go to Dazhu Village to find Brother Ou right away and ask him for moso bamboo." After Shitou finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yu, do you think I have a chance now?"

Li Duoyu couldn't help scolding: "You have a chance. If you go further at this time, you will give Shanshan the feeling of taking advantage of others. I have told you that facing the injured The most important thing for a woman is to be normal. Don't always think about getting it right in one step. If you really love her, people will be able to tell it over time. Besides, they haven't divorced yet, so why are you anxious. "

Shitou also felt that what Li Duoyu said made sense: "Sure enough, you still have to ask Brother Yu about this kind of thing."

“Don’t, don’t ask me about this kind of thing next time.”

As the day dawned, Li Duoyu found that the kelp field was also swaying, and it was estimated that many kelp piles had been pulled up.

 See this scene.

Li Duoyu suddenly felt a little tired. A typhoon was like this. When he thought that another typhoon might pass by them this year, he immediately felt that there was no motivation to breed. Even he couldn't help but curse:

 “It’s your uncle’s typhoon.”

Li Duoyu looked towards the north of Dandan Island. Fortunately, the four large windmills were stable and withstood the test of the typhoon.

 Otherwise, the losses to Dandan Island will be huge this time, and the leaders will probably look bad.

The worst thing this time was not Dandan Island, but Shangqi Village. Many houses collapsed, and several villagers were crushed by the wall. As soon as daybreak, they were sent to the town health center for rescue.

 In addition to the collapsed houses, there were smashed kelp everywhere on the beach.

Kelp, seaweed, kelp ropes, dead fish, and all kinds of marine garbage were rolled together, making the entire beach a mess, just like a garbage dump.

The kelp was broken and rotten, and many of its skins were worn out. There was sticky liquid everywhere, and some of them had even begun to smell and rot.

Those farmers who failed to collect the kelp in time looked at the kelp on the beach and sat slumped on the beach.

Not only was their work this year in vain, but they also owed a lot of money to the credit union. They now regret very much why they listened to their own village party secretary instead of Li Duoyu from Dandan Island.

Several kelp farmers who had gone bankrupt this time suddenly complained about their village party secretaries.

“How can you lead everyone to make a fortune like you? I think it’s more like leading everyone to make a fortune and then suffer a loss.”

“If you want to engage in farming in the future, you still have to listen to that Li Duoyu, not our village party secretary.”

One farmer cried and complained: "There are so many villages raising kelp, but we are the only ones who don't rush to harvest kelp. Whose problem do you think this is?"

Tang Wenchang kept his head down the whole time and his face was very dark. He was so regretful that his intestines were blue. He didn't sleep at all in the past two days.

Just praying that the typhoon will not come back, but who would have thought that this typhoon can be so playful and suddenly kill you.

 It was as if God was deliberately playing a joke on you. When these farmers kept scolding him, he could only grit his teeth.

“It’s not just you who have lost, I have also lost a lot, okay? Stop talking about things that are useful or useless, and quickly pick up these kelp on the beach, and make up for whatever you can.”

It's okay that he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, these farmers complained to him one after another, blaming all the mistakes on him.

With the arrival of this typhoon, Langqi Island was not much better. Many houses collapsed and some people were injured in this typhoon.

 Two old men were directly hit by a collapsed beam while they were sleeping. When they were discovered, they had already left.

 The only good thing is that after listening to Li Duoyu's words, the kelp was collected in advance, which greatly reduced the damage caused by the typhoon.

Shangfeng Town has done typhoon prevention and disaster reduction work in advance, so the casualties of the typhoon landing this time were not very large. However, this typhoon was stronger than previous years and was full of destructive power, resulting in a very large area affected by the disaster.

The fishing villages near the sea are in a mess, and those not near the sea are not much better. On the contrary, they are even more serious. The farmland and vegetable fields are almost completely destroyed and are now soaked in water.

The watermelons grown in Dongguo Village were originally ripe in mid-June, but now they are all ruined. Many melon farmers have spent a whole year’s efforts in vain.

As for the villages close to the mountain, serious landslides also occurred, and the specific casualties are not yet known.

And the worst thing is that there is currently a power outage in the entire county, and there is no way to contact each village by phone. We can only separate the staff of the town committee and go from village to village to understand the post-disaster situation.

Not only Shangfeng Town, but also Nanri Town next door is in a mess. Their town breeds a lot of oysters.

After the typhoon, the entire Nanri Town beach was covered in layers of oysters. Some of the oysters had opened their mouths and gave off a rotten smell.

Some oysters are still good. On the beach, countless fishermen are grabbing the oysters that are still alive with baskets and snakeskin bags.

Because no one can guarantee whose family these oysters belong to. We can only say that whoever grabs them belongs to the same family.

The scene was very chaotic.

Some people just hold a shovel and put all the oysters into the basket regardless of whether they are good or bad. Anyway, if you grab them, you will make a profit.

Many villagers even started fighting on the spot over grabbing oysters, and even hit each other with oysters.

Liu Yun was also here on the beach, staring at the chaotic scene in front of him in a daze. If Li Duoyu was there, this kind of looting would not have happened.

After Li Duoyu saw the eel factory and oyster field, he asked the tractor master to tow his fishing boat into the sea first.

 The waves are still very big now, and ordinary sampans will certainly not be able to go out to sea. Fortunately, his fishing boat is specially designed.

  Originally able to adapt to strong winds and waves, Li Duoyu took his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng to Qixing Bay while the water level was still relatively high.

 When approaching Qixing Bay.

Looking far away, you can see that there is no problem with the outer wall of the shrimp farm, and the top of the factory building is also there.

 Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu finally felt relieved, and the shrimp farm withstood the problem.

After the two parked their fishing boat on the beach, they went directly to the shrimp farm, just as they expected.

All the outer bamboo fences fell to the ground, and the outermost iron gate was blown away. I don’t even know where it went. It might be in the shrimp pond.

 Fortunately, the shrimp farm was not affected, but the big lock disappeared and was locked inside, making it impossible to push it open.

Li Duoyu and Zhang Mingsheng frowned when they saw this scene, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

The two men picked up two large steel bars nearby from the time of building the house, and then went in through the side door. (End of chapter)
