In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer
Chapter 378 The roof and beams of the new house
(I’m so embarrassed. I was asked to revise three or four chapters in a row. This plot is over. I really don’t dare anymore.)
o (╥﹏╥) o
After my sister gave birth to her child, she insisted on asking Li Duoyu to help name the child.
What can I say? This child came into this world because of his help.
But he, who was named a waste, really only knew how to use redundant words. Finally, under the pressure of his sister, he had to give the child a nickname first.
Round.
After choosing the nickname, my sister and brother-in-law both praised me non-stop.
“It’s still beneficial to have more fish.”
"Yuanyuan is good, it means reunion."
"Shui Hua, why not just call her Yuanyuan."
"I think it's okay."
It's obviously a very common nickname, the kind that belongs to the bad streets, but my sister and brother-in-law praised it so much that Li Duoyu felt a little embarrassed.
And at this moment, Li Duoyu suddenly realized that everyone seemed to be becoming more and more cautious when communicating with him.
Moreover, the number of flatterers around him has obviously increased, and even his father and mother rarely preach to him anymore.
With the improvement of his status and assets, Li Duoyu felt as if he had lost something, and some things seemed to never be returned to the past.
A few days after giving birth, brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng secretly handed a thick leather envelope to Director Liu.
Of course, he has not forgotten the hush money paid by his second sister-in-law.
Take the money last.
Go to the place of residence to handle the fine.
And this matter passed like this.
But then, brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng had a huge quarrel with his family when they learned that they had another daughter.
Just as he expected, Zhang's father and mother forced him to give the child away and asked the couple to have another child.
His relatives all felt that Li Shuihua could not give birth to a son, so they all came up with suggestions, and even came up with the idea of "borrowing a child to give birth to a son".
Pay money to let outside women give birth to sons for the Zhang family.
And Zhang Mingsheng, who had been crushed by the words "carrying on the family line" for a long time, finally broke out.
After a big quarrel with his family, he drove directly to Dandan Island with his eldest daughter Zhang Lin and second daughter Zhang Yun, and temporarily stayed at the guest house of the village committee.
That day.
Zhang's mother was left alone and broke down in tears. Zhang's relatives also scolded Zhang Mingsheng for being unfilial and giving up his family for a woman.
Kedandan Island is very festive here, and relatives have prepared gifts for Zhang Mingsheng's eldest daughter Zhang Lin and second daughter Zhang Yun.
When Chen Huiying saw her two thin granddaughters, she felt so distressed that she almost shed tears: "Why are you so thin? Together, you two don't even weigh as much as Haoran."
Li Haoran on the side smiled awkwardly. He felt that it was not serious, it was not that exaggerated.
When the two granddaughters saw Chen Huiying, they were also very excited and said with a smile:
"Grandma, we miss you so much."
Chen Huiying touched their heads: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, but I still remember my grandma."
The eldest daughter Zhang Lin said: "Remember, grandma is the best to us. Every time we come over, she prepares delicious food for us. The fish balls are delicious."
After hearing this, Chen Huiying's nose suddenly became sore, her eyes were a little moist, and she looked at Zhang Mingsheng and Li Shuihua a little angrily.
"How do you two raise a child? You raise the child like a bamboo pole. It feels like a gust of wind can blow it over."
Li Shuihua puffed her mouth and whispered: "They two don't like to eat."
Chen Huiying scolded her on the spot: "Are you still reasonable? Don't you know what the food you cook tastes like?"
After Chen Huiying finished training Li Shuihua, she smiled at her two granddaughters and said, "My dear grandson, I will eat with grandma from now on. I will make sure to prepare delicious food for you every day."
The two girls laughed and said:
"Thank you, grandma."
"Grandma, it's the best for us."
At this moment, Li Haoran looked at the two sisters who also had sweet mouths. Suddenly, he felt as if he had fallen out of favor.
First there was little Tutu, then little Yuanyuan, and now two younger sisters.
It seems that grandma won’t cook his favorite braised pork for him these days.
However, Li Haoran had already looked away.
It doesn't matter if she falls out of favor with grandma, as long as she doesn't fall out of favor with her uncle. After all, the thickest thighs in the village are those of my uncle.
mid-July.
Dandan Island has ushered in a hot summer. Although the wind is very strong on the beach, the heat is really hot.
At noon, the beach is impossible to walk on with bare feet.
At this time, Li Duoyu's new house ushered in the capping of the second floor.
Although the new house is a frame structure with cement slabs on top, Lao Li insisted on building a pyramid-shaped beam roof on top.
It is specially used to place the main beam.
The day has arrived for the beam.
Li Duoyu and Lao Li carried a large fir tree covered with red silk from the dock.
The person who presided over the beam-laying ceremony was still the old mage from last time. Many people had built houses in the past two years, and many people came to him to raise the beams.
Compared with last year, the old mage is visibly mellower, and he is becoming more and more proficient in his business.
Before the ceremony even started, dozens of people came to the courtyard of the new house.
Most of them were children. They had been waiting there early, holding a piece of red cloth in their hands.
Because after the beam-laying ceremony is over, Li Duoyu will scatter wedding fruits and candies on the top floor, and the red cloth in their hands is used to grab and contain.
Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun followed Xiaopangdun with two small bamboo poles and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, how long will this ceremony last? When will the happy fruits start to be sprinkled?"
Li Haoran replied in a familiar manner: "You two must have never robbed me before."
"We don't let girls grab it."
Li Haoran frowned and said: "You guys have so many rules, don't worry, the tide hasn't come in yet. The ceremony won't start until the tide is full. After all the ceremonies are over and the firecrackers are set off, the candy will start. "
"Then are we going to have to stand here and wait for a long time?"
Li Haoran said seriously: "We have the best position here. If we don't occupy it, it will be taken away by others immediately.
If you two have sore feet, go take a rest first, and then follow me when the fight starts. "
The two girls nodded obediently.
"Thank you, brother."
"By the way, when the grabbing starts later, we only want wedding candies and coins, and we won't grab anything else. Do you know?"
The two little girls nodded like chickens one by one, and Li Haoran suddenly felt that it would be nice to have two more obedient sisters.
It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
The tide is rising.
Someone on the other side of the pier shouted: "The water has risen, it's time to raise the beam."
After hearing this, the old mage lit the incense in his hand.
The whole process is similar to the previous factory building beam.
After the beam loading is completed.
Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying stood on the roof and shouted to the people below: "Are you ready?"
The second uncle at the bottom shouted: "Hurry up, everyone has been waiting for a long time. There are so many of us, have you prepared enough things?" "It must be enough, it's enough for three loads."
"Then let it go quickly."
"Then, please say something nice first."
The second uncle below cleared his throat and shouted: "I wish you good luck in your new home, good luck to your family, abundant wealth, happiness in the world, and unlimited happiness. Let's talk about it, okay?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Okay."
Li Duoyu began to scatter wedding fruits, wedding candies and coins downstairs, and the people downstairs immediately started looting.
The adults mainly grab the red turtle cakes, while the children lie on the ground one by one and grab the candies and coins.
When some red turtle cakes were thrown down, they hit the people below. Instead of being angry, they laughed and said, "It hit me. I will build a new house next year."
Seeing everyone grabbing the happy fruits, Li Duoyu shouted: "Don't worry about grabbing things, be obedient and don't stop."
The second uncle then shouted: "Good luck to the village, rising steadily, and prosperity. May everyone wish the village director good luck in giving birth to a boy next year."
"Okay."
Zhou Xiaoying was a little helpless, but still spread the good news.
The villagers who came to participate in the beam-laying ceremony all returned carrying a large bag of happy fruits.
Li Haoran took advantage of the tonnage and grabbed a full dollar. Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun followed him and also picked up a lot.
Their pockets were filled with various candies, including watermelon candies, orange candies and maltose candies.
After finishing the robbery, Li Haoran took his two sisters to the supply and marketing cooperative and went directly to the salesperson to buy all the popsicles.
"Boss, here are five popsicles."
Zhang Lin was puzzled: "There are only three of us, why did we buy five."
Little Fatty smiled and said: "My uncle and aunt must be exhausted today, so I'll buy them two to relieve the heat."
"Brother, you are so sensible."
The beam-laying ceremony is over, but the house is only half-finished, and it will take a long time before it is truly completed.
The inner walls of the house also need to be plastered with white ash, the floor needs to be paved with ceramic tiles, the outer walls need to be plastered with a layer of cement, and finally the small rectangular ceramic tiles need to be affixed.
Mr. Cao, the stonemason, estimated that it would take at least October to complete the project. Even he himself could not have imagined that building such a new house would take so long.
However, Lao Cao felt that the reason why the construction was slow was because it was his first time to build it, which also caused every process to be done very seriously.
After Li Duoyu's new house is finished with beams.
After all the trouble with the house.
The uncle and the third uncle came to see him personally and determined the time for the next sea trip in three days.
Because it's early August.
On the Zhoushan Islands, there is a flood season for swimming crabs, and a large number of swimming crabs can be caught.
The price of swimming crabs has also increased this year.
From the original price of just over 10 cents, the price has increased to 2.5 cents. Moreover, swimming crabs swim relatively slowly, so it is very suitable to use the fish finder on Li Duoyu's fishing boat to find swimming crabs.
Li Duoyu also planned to take Zhou Xiaoying with him, and then, after disembarking from Hangzhou Bay, take a train to Xiaoying's hometown.
I heard that we want to jointly catch swimming crabs.
Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng also wanted to go with him, but considering that his sister was still in confinement, Li Duoyu was naturally embarrassed to take him with him.
Of course, Li Duoyu also has a more important matter that needs his help, and that is the tidal flat embankment.
When the tide goes out.
The two of them were riding "mud horses" gliding on the tidal flats. Li Duoyu held many bamboo poles and stuck them on the tidal flats.
Zhang Mingsheng was surprised: "Do you want to enclose such a large area? This is already fifty acres. If we really build a dam, the project will be huge. How long will it take to make money back?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "In the first few years, you will definitely lose money, but as long as you encircle it, you will make pure profits later."
The entire tidal flat area of Dandan Island, including the area that extends into the sea, is about more than 2,000 acres. If they are all enclosed for farming, the economy of Dandan Island will definitely take off.
Li Duoyu remembers very clearly that in his previous life, these two thousand acres of tidal flats were secretly subcontracted by the Wang brothers to an individual enterprise.
Once the contract is signed, it lasts for thirty years.
As a result, the villagers of Xiasha Village did not have the right to use the tidal flats. The lawsuits between the two parties have been going on for more than 20 years, but there has been no result.
After the last policy, all the tidal flat embankments were organized to be cleared.
No one is allowed to use it.
However, that was more than twenty years later.
Li Duoyuwei, one of them wanted to take advantage of the tidal flat, and the other wanted to boost the village's economy.
To be honest, it is very simple to make the villagers live a good life. As long as he makes money, the villagers will definitely follow the trend of farming.
Although Li Duoyu mostly had the upper hand, he would not be like the Wang brothers in his previous life.
Li Duoyu will keep at least half of it so that the villagers can eat the meat too.
Li Duoyu definitely likes money.
Having lived in two lifetimes, he understands how useful money can be, but making money should not be too unconscionable, just like a future business tycoon from the next county.
He would rather donate money to society and gain fame than give a cent to his employees. This is a typical capitalist face.
In the early stages of blue crab farming, Li Duoyu plans to encircle forty to fifty acres to raise blue crabs first, and then expand the scale if it really gets started.
The loudspeaker in the village rang.
"Dear fellow villagers, fellow villagers
good morning everyone.
Today, our village director wants to recruit workers to start reclamation. He needs strong men to help with the work. The daily salary is two and a half yuan. They can rest four days a month and include lunch. We need to recruit twenty people.
This recruitment will take at least half a year. If you want to sign up, please come to the village committee to find Zhang Mingsheng to sign up. "
After hearing the broadcast.
Some women in the village who were weaving nets couldn't help complaining: "Why don't we recruit women?"
"The wages are so high, it's definitely not easy to earn. I guess we won't be able to earn even if we go there."
Many men in the village who did not have fishing boats put down their work and ran to the village committee.
The wages of hard work are two yuan a day.
Not too high.
But the rare thing is that they can continue to work for half a year, with four days off a month, and a meal is included at noon. If they work hard for half a year, they can also afford a sampan with an oar.
"I want to sign up."
"I'm stronger, so it's definitely the right choice for me."
In addition to recruiting people, the two tractors on the island were also contracted by Li Duoyu.
The number of people this time was no less than the last time we dug a pond.
However, the amount of work is larger. Enclosing the embankment is much more difficult than digging a pond. A truckload of stones and soil is dumped, and the filling is less than half a meter.
It would take several trucks to fill a deeper area to one meter. The two tractors kept running, and they could fill up about 20 meters in a day.
But after everyone started working, they realized that the daily salary of two and a half yuan was really not easy to earn. It was purely physical work.
My back aches after working for just one day.
After seeing these people, Li Duoyu kept shaking his head. Unfortunately, the second sister-in-law was gone this time, otherwise one second sister-in-law could at least stand up to three or four men like them.
Recently, the second sister-in-law has been running to Nanri Town very diligently, and she is always nagging about buying a small boat and learning to drive it by herself.
Li Duoyu naturally knew what she was doing, but if she wanted to mess with it, just let her do it. (End of chapter)
