In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 243
After Uncle Mao took the bottle, he regained his energy a little, but he still looked very tired.

Zhang Defa sighed: "Fortunately, you discovered it early. If it had been later, your brain might have been damaged."

"So serious." Li Duoyu said in shock.

Zhang Defa sighed with emotion: "Every year, many elderly people suffer from charcoal poisoning. Many of them have already passed away when they find out. People don't know that they died from burning charcoal, and they think they died at the end of their lives."

"It's good to be able to walk away, but I'm afraid of the kind that's half dead."

Li Duoyu pretended not to understand anything. In fact, he knew very well that carbon monoxide poisoning, like drowning, can cause brain hypoxia.

If you inhale too much carbon monoxide, even if the person can be revived, most of the people's brains will become inoperable. In severe cases, it may even cause brain death and become a vegetative state.

After a while.

Uncle Mao's family members hurried over without waiting for their family members to thank him.

Li Duoyu ran away immediately.

He felt like things always happened wherever he went recently, just like a detective in an island country movie.

We just saved the Zhao brothers last time.

This time I saved Uncle Mao again.

It's not even a month old yet. Although this is a good thing, Li Duoyu feels a little evil.

Others were reborn with great luck and a lot of fish. After his rebirth, he felt like he was either rescuing people or on the way to rescuing them.

Another day, I must go to Thean Hou Temple to pay my respects.

Li Duoyu returned to the village committee's broadcast room.

The stove that Uncle Mao lit was still burning.

This time, the doors and windows were opened for ventilation. Li Duoyu turned on the broadcasting equipment, then cleared his throat: "Ahem."

"Notice from the village committee, notice from the village committee."

"Hello fellow villagers, I am the village director Li Duoyu, and I have something very important to inform you now."

"Since the weather is very cold this year, many people must be burning charcoal at home to keep warm. Everyone must be careful to open windows and doors for ventilation when burning charcoal, otherwise they will be poisoned by coal."

"Don't think I'm joking. Someone in our village has already won the bid, especially the elderly who live alone. Never light hot coals when sleeping."

"I have one more thing to inform you. Village cadres who are free now, please come to the village committee meeting room. The village accountant will also come with you."

"Notify again."

After Li Duoyu finished broadcasting, after about half an hour, many people came from the village committee.

The commander of the militia company, Zhang Erhu.

There are also several village committee members, Zhang Jinsha, Tang Ping, and Liao Juntian.

His second brother Li Yaoguo also came.

Zhang Erhu said when they met: "Duoyu, you are finally willing to call us once. I thought that you, the village director, don't need us anymore."

"Brother Hu, what are you talking about? Without you, what's the use of me alone?"

Zhang Jinsha sighed with emotion: "To be honest, if it hadn't been for the announcement broadcast today, I would have almost forgotten that I was still a village cadre."

Tang Ping smiled and said, "Me too."

Old Liao also said: "Recently, Party Secretary Wang was hospitalized, and none of you came. If Ou Wusheng's family hadn't lived here, I wouldn't have been able to find anyone to talk to."

Zhang Erhu smiled and said: "Village director, you called us here today. Has your property been stolen again?"

"Not this time."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "It was just broadcast, everyone must have heard it."

"Yes, I heard it."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "That's it. Uncle Mao was poisoned just now when he was burning charcoal to keep warm in the broadcast room. Fortunately, I just got here, otherwise he might be dead."

"Uncle Mao, are you okay?"

"It should be fine, but I have to hang the bottle for a few days and rest for a while."

"I called you here today because I want to trouble you to go to the village and stop burning charcoal in the house. I also want to visit some elderly people in the village to see if they have any difficulties."

"Okay, this is a good thing."

"By the way, I've called everyone here today, and there's one more thing I want to discuss with you. During the visit, if I find that there are really difficulties, I plan to use the money from our village committee to help them. What do you think?"

Zhang Erhu smiled and said: "No problem, I have no objection."

Lao Liao also agreed: "Wang Dapao has been the captain for so many years, but he just stuffs money into his trouser pockets and never takes it out."

Li Duoyu said: "Then let's go through the process. If we agree, we will vote by a show of hands."

Li Duoyu just finished speaking.

Everyone raised their hands.

Lao Liao sighed with emotion: "Speaking of it, I am really ashamed. I am considered a veteran cadre in our village, but this is the first time I have done practical things for the people."

Li Duoyu looked at his second brother Li Yaoguo: "By the way, does our village committee still have money now?" Li Yaoguo thought for a while and replied: "Yes, but not much. Last time, we sold more than 500 casuarina trees. I bought some money, and if I add it up now, it’s almost 300 yuan.”

"Why is it so small?"

Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. When Dandan Island was still a production brigade, it was quite wealthy, with more than ten fishing boats of various types.

Can be modified.

The fishing boats were sold by the Wang brothers under various names, and the money was spent under various names. As a result, the current village committee is an empty shell.

There is not much land to be had;

No money, not much money.

In addition, the taxes paid by coastal fishermen are very small, and the local government has no spare money to allocate them.

If the village committee wants to have some surplus food, it must find a way on its own.

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while: "Yaoguo, someday you can give me a table of the village's collective assets, and I'll see if I can take stock of them."

"sure, no problem."

After the meeting.

Li Duoyu made some arrangements, and the six people were divided into three groups and began to visit the whole village. What he and Tang Ping visited were the poorest people in the village and the end of the village.

The visit process is also very simple, just knock on the door to door and warn them not to burn charcoal for heating at home.

During the visit, Li Duoyu focused on several households in need.

In the past few years since the opening up, everyone's life has indeed become much better. In the eyes of outsiders, Xiasha Village seems to be very wealthy.

But those who have money are only a minority.

Most people are relatively poor.

Some homes don't even have electric lights. It's winter, and the cotton-padded jackets on their bodies are all patched.

Some people don’t even have to worry about getting poisoned by burning charcoal because they simply can’t bear to buy charcoal.

After all, Dandan Island is an island, and firewood and charcoal have to be bought with money.

Some were short of clothes and cotton, and their hands and ears had frostbite.

Some people still eat sweet potato noodles with dried fish as they did more than ten years ago, and they can't even afford rice.

During the visit, Li Duoyu found that the reasons why these people were poor were also varied.

Some are old and have lost their labor force.

Some have conflicts with their children and have no contact with each other until old age and death, with no one to support them.

Some are poor due to illness.

Some are too lazy to eat and wait to die.

In short, there are all kinds of people.

Li Duoyu registered them all based on their situations.

It is not practical to send money directly to them.

If you really give money, other villagers will definitely not be happy.

What Li Duoyu can do to help them is very limited, that is, to help them renovate their old quilts before the next cold wave arrives.

However, there are no quilt masters on Dandan Island. If you want to refurbish old quilts, you have to go to the town to invite the master.

"Brother Tang, you seem to have opened a fishery store in the town. Do you know anyone who plays cotton?"

"A bit of acquaintance, but not familiar."

"Can you discuss with the other party to come to our village to play for a while?"

"Okay, I'll drop by and ask when I'm delivering seafood to town tomorrow."

"Then trouble you."

"Little things, that's what I should do. By the way, Duoyu, do you know anything about sea clams? I plan to raise sea clams recently."

"Are they the sea clams from Zhanggang?"

Tang Ping nodded: "Yes, it's that kind of big clam."

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "This seems to be cultured in a seine net, and the investment cost is quite high."

Tang Ping smiled and said: "No matter how big it is, it is probably not as big as your eel factory. There is one more thing. After I raise it, can you go through your channels and introduce me to that boss Chen?" .”

"no problem."

Tang Ping chuckled: "Duoyu, do you want to invest in some shares? I'll feel more at ease if I raise it with you."

"No, I've already raised a lot of things. If I raise another sea clam, I'll probably be too busy."
