1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

There are a lot of dried kelp stored here in the shrimp farm. Li Duoyu is really worried that someone will steal it, and he is already prepared.

If there are only one or two, subdue them. If there are many people, run away and call the police immediately.

But when Li Duoyu walked over, he found that the shrimp farm was empty and there was no one at all. After looking around, his brother-in-law greeted him softly.

 “There are many fish, there is one over here.”

Li Duoyu tiptoed over and found a person curled up to sleep among the piles of dried kelp.

Possibly because it was too cold during the typhoon, this man used dried kelp as a quilt, even covering his head. There were many cigarette butts scattered around.

 A homeless person?

Li Duoyu and Zhang Mingsheng looked at each other. Li Duoyu was holding the steel bars in both hands. Zhang Mingsheng stepped forward and lightly kicked the man and shouted: "Get up."

 Maybe he shouted too loudly, and the man lying on the ground seemed to be startled, and he sat up suddenly.

 After seeing this person, Li Duoyu and Zhang Mingsheng's hearts suddenly tightened, and they stared at each other with big eyes.

The man who was kicked awake was very angry when he got up. When he saw the two people in front of him, he cursed on the spot: "There is something wrong, who kicked me just now."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "Brother-in-law, why are you here, lying in a pile of kelp?"

Zhang Mingsheng also had a smile on his face: "Hello, uncle, didn't you go back last night?"

 Chen Dongqing, who was already a little angry, turned even darker when he saw the steel pipes in the hands of the two men.

“Sir, I came here to help you take care of these shrimps, but you still want to hit me.”

Li Duoyu quickly threw the steel bar far away and said with a grin: "Uncle, the typhoon was so strong last night, you didn't go back to accompany your aunt and Wenwen."

 Chen Dongqing, who was sitting on the ground, tensed up. She was still a little cold after being frozen all night, and she pinched her right hand.

This time, before Li Duoyu could take out his cigarette, Zhang Mingsheng immediately handed the cigarette to him and slid a match to light it.

After taking two puffs, Chen Dongqing said angrily: "You think I am willing to stay here and don't want to go back? I just came here to see what was going on. After I came over, I found that you are really big-hearted and you didn't even leave anyone behind." You’re here to watch, so I have to stay here to watch for you.”

Li Duoyu was very moved when he heard this. You can tell who really cares about you at critical moments.

　　　When my uncle was a child, he lived in their house for a while. The two of them grew up in quarrels and fights, so their relationship was naturally very good.

Although Li Duoyu was very moved, he still murmured: "Who would come during a typhoon?"

 Chen Dongqing rolled his eyes and said:

“I’m here right now. I don’t know how to explain to your aunt when I get back to you for doing this.”

After hearing this, Li Duoyu said to Zhang Mingsheng: "Brother-in-law, you first go to the factory to see if there are any other problems."

 Zhang Mingsheng saw that these two people seemed to have something to talk about, so he left wisely.

Li Duoyu said: "What's there to explain, Comrade Dongqing, have you forgotten that you are also a shareholder of this shrimp farm, isn't it normal for you to come and see the factory?"

 Chen Dongqing looked surprised and stopped smoking: "Duoyu, you really gave me shares."

Li Duoyu frowned: "Comrade Dongqing, do I look like the kind of person who loves to joke?"

 The next second, Chen Dongqing frowned: "But if I take your shares, it will violate organizational disciplines. If the superiors find out, writing a report will be a minor offense. Maybe I will have to go to jail."

Li Duoyu shook his head in disgust: "Can you stop being so sentimental? Who said the shares are for you? They are for my cousin Chen Wenwen, okay? I, the elder brother, have too much money, so give some money to my cousin." ,Is there a problem?"

 “Uh~~”

 Chen Dongqing smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "Director Li, I find that you have become more and more capable recently. I don't even know how to refute what you said."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "This should be enough for me to pay my aunt a favor."

"enough."

 Although he only holds 5% of the shares, Chen Dongqing knows very well that once the shrimp farm is put into operation.

Even a 100% profit is much more than the combined wages of him and Xiaoqing in a year.

Chen Dongqing is still a little worried: "There are many fish, so why not less? Two percent is fine. I'm afraid five percent is too much."

Li Duoyu smiled bitterly. This was the first time he saw someone being dissatisfied with too much money, but he was also very aware of his uncle's worries.

 My uncle is still pursuing an official career. He is the kind of person who would rather go through hardships than make mistakes.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "Well, if you trust me, I can save this money for you. When you want to use it someday, I will give it to you."

Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you go first."

Li Duoyu looked at his uncle whose eyes were filled with black eyes: "Go back quickly, otherwise you will have to sleep in the living room."

Chen Dongqing hummed: "The living room is so nice. I wish I could sleep in the living room every day."

Li Duoyu joked: "If you don't pay the public good, no wonder my aunt treats you badly. Let me tell you, as soon as a woman starts to be unreasonable, she must be beaten hard. If one meal is not enough, two "Dun, if you beat me more often, you will be able to straighten your temper."

Chen Dongqing's mouth twitched and hummed: "That's easy to say, how many times a month do you have sex?"

"Of course I'll hand it in as soon as I have time. You don't have to think about it. You can't treat it as a task. You must take the initiative and ensure the quality. Otherwise, it won't take you two minutes to take off your pants and put them on. Only if you feel good, then It doesn’t make any sense.”

Chen Dongqing's brows kept twitching when he was told: "You think I am you, please start at least half an hour every time."

Li Duoyu did not argue with his uncle, but said: "Is this right? Let's have a good job in the evening and say a few sweet words, and this matter should be over."

Chen Dongqing sighed and looked at the shrimps in the pond before leaving:

“I’ve been observing for the past two days, and it seems that after a change of environment, these shrimps are no longer willing to mate. We probably have to cut the shrimp’s eyes.”

Li Duoyu nodded: "There's nothing we can do about it. Let's start cutting after the equipment arrives in two days."

The uncle said: "By the way, Director Zhang said that when your equipment comes, he wants to lead a team to observe and learn."

 “Welcome, warm welcome.”

 Chen Dongqing held up the 28-inch sedan in the corner of the factory building and said, "Then I'm leaving."

“The wind is still good and the road is not good, so ride slowly.”

 After my brother-in-law left.

Li Duoyu inspected the shrimp factory and had to admire Teacher Xie. He managed to withstand such a big typhoon. Apart from a few pieces of glass broken, nothing happened.

 It seems that the decision to move dried kelp here a few days ago was very correct, and there will be no problem in seeing the shrimp farm.

Li Duoyu was relieved. Zhang Mingsheng also decided to stay at the shrimp farm temporarily to feed and take care of these broodstock.

Li Duoyu rushed back to Dandan Island. In the current situation, he couldn't do it without being in the village.

 But when he returned to Dandan Island Pier, under the organization of Zhang Jinsha, everyone had already spontaneously started cleaning up the dirty things in the shelter.

Uncle Zhuang and Lao Lu, who were moving the things soaked in water out, immediately asked after seeing Li Duoyu come back: "Is your shrimp farm okay?"

 Li Duoyu replied: "No problem."

"That's good."

 The two of them also deposited part of the dried kelp at Li Duoyu's shrimp farm.

“Duoyu, luckily you reminded me this time. If we hadn’t left last night, we might have gone to the sea to feed the fish.”

 Lao Lu moved all the water-soaked furniture out of his home and cursed: "This typhoon is really powerful."

 Zhao Dahai, who also lives at the dock, is very lucky that he is not one of the households closest to the seaside, otherwise he would also suffer this time.

Lao Lu said: "Duoyu, a factory building in our village committee warehouse has collapsed. You may have to take a look first. Some kelp is dry and soaked in water. Everyone doesn't know what to do."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu frowned, and then replied: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look right away."

 When he arrived at the village committee warehouse, he found that many farmers had gathered here, and there was a big hole in the roof of one of the warehouses.

Some dried kelp soaked in water has been moved out, but everyone is also confused and doesn't know what to do next.

After seeing Li Duoyu coming, everyone gathered around him and asked, "Duoyu, my dried kelp is soaked in water. What should I do now?"

Li Duoyu also had a headache when he saw those dried kelp soaked in water. He could still be rescued by soaking in sea water, but he chose to soak in fresh water.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said: "You have to find a way to dry it in the sun or dry it immediately, and you have to be mentally prepared. This batch of kelp will definitely have to be downgraded and cannot be exported to foreign trade."

 After hearing this, these kelp farmers felt very uncomfortable. If they could not engage in foreign trade, they would lose at least half of their money.

 But there is no other way. Whoever let his luck happen to store the kelp in this warehouse.

 In fact, it’s not just the kelp in the warehouse that has problems, some kelp at home is also more or less wet.

At this moment, Chen Jianghe came over and handed over a list of names.

“Director Li, I just counted and found that a total of seventeen houses collapsed in our village during this typhoon, and eight people were injured. Fortunately, they were all minor injuries.”

 Li Duoyu glanced at the list.

Almost all the dilapidated buildings we visited yesterday collapsed. Fortunately, these people evacuated in time. Otherwise, the casualties caused by this typhoon would be unimaginable.

Chen Jianghe said: "There are still more than ten houses that have collapsed and have no place to live. How should we arrange this?"

Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a while: "Zhishu Chen, how about this? Our village committee seems to have two rooms for storing debris. If you ask Uncle Liao to clean them up, we can still accommodate two families.

My office is not used much and doesn't have much in it, so I might as well give them a temporary transition first. For the rest, I can only discuss with Principal Zhu and let them live at the school first. "

Chen Jianghe was slightly startled when he heard this. After working for so long, this was the first time he heard that someone was willing to free up his office for disaster victims.

 “Okay, I’ll make arrangements right away.”

At this moment, a villager hurriedly came over and said to Li Duoyu: "Director Li, there is an iron boat of more than 20 meters stranded on the other side of the reef in our village."

 Li Duoyu asked: "Is there anyone on the boat?"

"nobody."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. Is this a gift from the sea to Dandan Island?

Following the fisherman in front of him, Li Duoyu arrived at the reef area on the west side of Dandan Island before walking for a while.

Li Duoyu has been to this place several times in the past two years and collected a lot of "pen holders" or turtle-footed barnacles here.

At this time, there were many villagers in the area near the reef, all of them watching the iron boat that ran aground on the rocks.

“This is a big profit, and our village will have one more boat in the future.”

 Some villagers are also worried:

“I don’t know who owns this boat. What will we do if the other party comes here?”

“I’m afraid of a hammer. When the time comes, we’ll repaint the ship, take off the ship’s number, and throw away the equipment. Who would know that the ship is here with us?”

Several villagers also thought it made sense. In these days, as long as the boat is repainted and the equipment inside is dismantled, no one will be able to recognize it.

The villager who discovered it first said: "I discovered this boat first. When the time comes, can I get more shares?"

“It’s useless for you to ask us about this. You have to ask our Director Li about this and see how he arranges it.”

Li Duoyu frowned and looked at the iron boat. No one else knew it, but he knew it was from the Outer Sea Province as soon as he saw the boat number.

 The fishing boats here all have unified numbers, but the names in the Outer Sea Province are more random.

Looking at the fishing boat "Wenfa No. 54" in front of me, especially the conspicuous traditional Chinese characters, it is almost certain that it is from the Overseas Chinese Province.

Li Duoyu boarded the reef and climbed onto the iron boat. He found that there was a big hole in the left front of the bow of the fishing boat, and part of the cabin had been flooded.

 The whole fishing boat exuded a strong smell of fish. When Li Duoyu opened the fish hold, he found that it was filled with dead fish. The smell was quite overpowering.

The ice in the fish cabin has long since melted, and all the fish have begun to rot. It is like a cabin of rotten fish porridge. It feels like if it is left for another month and a half, fish sauce can be brewed directly.

 Li Duoyu pinched his nose, immediately opened the lid of the fish cabin, and smelled the smell of his clothes. In less than ten seconds, his clothes also smelled bad.

 Next, Li Duoyu went down to the engine room of the fishing boat and found that the equipment was quite good and it was a high-speed diesel engine.

 There is no water in the equipment. I tried to start it a few times but it failed to start. I don’t know what went wrong.

A fisherman on the deck said: "Director Li, there is no need to try. We have tried it before and we have diesel, but it just won't start."

Li Duoyu, who returned to the deck of the boat, frowned and thought, if the fish was rotten like this, it would have taken at least half a month if there were ice at the beginning.

  Within half a month, it would have been possible to return to port. It is more likely that the fishing boat had problems before the typhoon came, and it has not been rescued.

 Where have people gone?

The life jackets and lifebuoys are all there.

Li Duoyu always felt that this matter was not that simple. He probably lost power before the typhoon came. (End of chapter)
