In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 245 The old lady may die
Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-January. Under the advice of Li Duoyu and other village cadres, no one in the village suffered from charcoal poisoning again.

At this time, there were more than 9 eel fry in Li Duoyu's eel factory, and all the indoor breeding ponds were filled with eel fry.

If this was done in the previous life, at the cheapest price of ten yuan per tail, it would have cost nearly 90 yuan.

Nowadays, the second brother Li Yaoguo is as tired as a dog. There are too many eel fry. It takes him a lot of time just to go through the process every day.

And during this period.

In the first stage of eel farming, the desalination of eel fry has been completed. The earliest batch of eel fry have begun to change color. From the transparent color at the beginning, black lines are now slowly growing.

Next, it is time to enter the second stage.

Heating opening.

Eel fry are very picky about their environment.

If the water quality is not good, I will die for you.

The temperature was not enough, so I was too lazy to move, and would rather starve to death than speak.

Li Duoyu adopted the simplest and crudest method of heating up the food, which was to use the two drying rooms used to dry oysters and directly burn wood for heating.

If firewood is burned non-stop for twenty hours a day, it can probably raise the temperature of the entire factory by five degrees. In this way, the temperature in the breeding pond has just reached the minimum for the eel fry to open.

The only bad thing is that the firewood is a bit useless. On average, nearly five yuan of firewood is burned a day.

But how could a person like him, who knew how to live well, waste five yuan every day?

One of the baking rooms is specially used to bake quilts, clothes, pillows, etc., and the other baking room is rented to fishermen in the village who need to dry fish.

The chubby Li Haoran also felt that the temperature was relatively high in the factory, so he asked his mother to move a table to do homework here.

The second brother wished he could live directly in the factory building where he only had to wear one piece of clothing.

After the temperature rises.

Li Duoyu also started preparing to feed the first batch of eel fry with red worms.

The red worms themselves contain a large number of bacteria and parasites. When fished out from the smelly ditch, they cannot be fed only to the eels.

Otherwise, once there are bacteria and parasites, the infection will be widespread.

Generally, they need to be raised in clean water for a period of time, and then soaked in clean sea water for an hour before feeding.

Clean them several times to kill the bacteria and parasites in the red worms before feeding them to eel fry.

And when cleaning red worms.

Li Duoyu directly put his hand into the dense red worms and started stirring.

This scene made the second sister-in-law who was responsible for feeding the eel fry feel numb when she saw it: "There are many fish, do you have to wash the red worms by hand?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment.

"No, I'm just used to it and I think it's more convenient. If you feel sick, you can stir it with a stick."

The second sister-in-law patted her chest: "It's okay, I was scared to death. If I put my hand in, I feel like I won't have to eat for a month."

When Li Duoyu said that, Li Yaoguo on the side felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, even if the fourth child had experience, he should not have done it many times.

How do you get used to using your hands?
Chen Wenchao, on the other hand, was not so thoughtful and took notes with a pen and notebook, but he had not even graduated from elementary school.

I can't even write big characters.

I could only draw a pattern there, a group of small insects, and a hand that wrote the number three.

Li Duoyu glanced back.

I guess no one else can understand it except himself.

"The literacy class starts next week. You and Qingguang sign up together. Do you know? Otherwise, if I take you out to discuss business in the future, I won't even be able to understand the contract."

Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly and said: "I will definitely participate and study hard."

When feeding eels for the first time, it is usually between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, and a food table must be placed to allow the eel fry to develop the habit of eating at a fixed point.

After the evening.

Li Duoyu turned on the incandescent lamp hanging on the breeding pond. As the incandescent lamps lit up one by one, all the eel fry gathered under the lamp and paraded.

Followed by.

Li Duoyu lightly sprinkled the red worms onto the food table. After the red worms, which had some energy but not much energy, entered the water, they struggled and twisted their bodies.

When the eel fry, which had not eaten for more than half a month, smelled the scent of red worms, the biological instincts engraved in their genes exploded instantly.

While feeding, Li Duoyu said: "For the first time, don't feed too much, just about 30.00% of the weight of the whole pond of eels." Chen Wenchao recorded it again with abstract pictures, and at this time, the three Uncle ran over in a hurry.

"Duoyu, Yaoguo, you are both here."

Li Duoyu glanced at his third uncle, whose face was not very good, and asked quickly: "Third uncle, are you so anxious? What happened?"

The third uncle hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Your grandma is probably not going to survive. Do you brothers want to go over and take a look?"

After hearing this.

The two brothers' hearts suddenly tightened and they looked at each other.

Li Duoyu frowned. In fact, he had already been mentally prepared. He had not seen the old lady since she fell last time, and the third aunt rarely went out.

Li Duoyu already knew that there was not much time left for the old lady, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

When brother Li Duoyu came to his third uncle's house.

Many relatives are here, including the uncle's family, the second uncle, the third uncle, and even the aunt and uncle who live out of town. They have all been called back.

Dad was standing aside smoking a cigarette, looking not in a good mood. After seeing the two brothers, he said calmly: "Go into the room, your grandma just called your names."

Li Duoyu nodded.

Then, he and his second brother Li Yaoguo entered the house. Under the dim light, a long-bright lamp was lit.

The aunt who married out of town was sitting beside the bed, her eyes were red, and she kept calling: "Aniang, I am Hongyu."

But the old lady who was covered with a heavy quilt on the bed didn't respond. She was as thin as a skin and bones, and the pupils of her eyes looked a little dizzy, and she kept staring at the mosquito net on the top of the bed.

Breathing very quickly.

She was no longer able to eat on her own, so she could only use a spoon to get some water to moisten her lips.

This was not the first time Li Duoyu had seen this scene of near-death.

Man will die.

Which one is right or wrong is no longer that important.

In fact, when the old lady handed the longevity lock to their brother, Li Duoyu had already forgiven her.

He half-crouched beside the bed, held the old lady's bony hand, and said softly: "Grandma, I am Duoyu."

After hearing the sound.

The old lady seemed to have regained consciousness. She used all her strength to turn her head towards Li Duoyu and said in a weak voice: "My good grandson, you are finally willing to come see me."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but his eyes turned red. He had watched many people leave in two lifetimes, and he thought he had already gotten used to it and accepted it.

But I didn't expect that when I faced separation between life and death, I still felt an unspeakable sadness.

"Well, Yaoguo and I are here to see you."

"Yao Guo is here too. You two brothers are really good. Did you receive the safety lock I gave you brothers?"

When the old lady said this, Li Duoyu's ears were almost close to her mouth.

"Grandma, I got it."

"It's good to receive it. Grandma has always missed you."

The old lady's breathing became rapid again, her eyes became distracted again, and her hands were clasped in the air, as if she was hallucinating.

After scratching for a while, the old lady became quiet again. Her overall condition seemed to be much better than before.

But he kept mumbling: "Xiao Wu, where are you, Xiao Wu."

Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. The old lady seemed to be trapped in the day when her fifth uncle left her whole life.

And right now.

Li Duoyu discovered that the mother-in-law, who had originally vowed not to have any contact with the old lady, came to the third uncle's house for the first time.

Zhou Xiaoying also held Xiao Tutu and followed her mother.

The relatives of the Li family were a little surprised when they saw Chen Huiying. No one expected that she would be willing to come to see the oldest lady for the last time.

It's just that everyone didn't expect it.

As soon as Chen Huiying entered the room, she heard the old lady calling her fifth uncle's name.

Chen Huiying's face looked a little ugly for a moment, but after glancing at the old lady who had become so thin that there was only a piece of skin left, she still chose to stay and left without turning around.
