In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

"Someone fell into the water."

"Someone fell into the water."

Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao, who were fishing, vaguely heard someone shouting loudly and the sound of knocking on wooden boards.

The wind is strong at sea, and the sound may not be transmitted very far. They have an unwritten rule here that if there is a loud knocking sound on the wooden board, it means something big has happened.

After hearing the sound of the wooden board, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao looked at each other and quickly sailed towards the source of the sound.

When Li Duoyu arrived, he found out that the person who called out was Zhang Dan from the village, whose family also had a kelp field nearby.

Next to him was a small flat-bottomed iron boat with no one on board. After seeing the boat, Li Duoyu became nervous.

Because this was the fishing boat that my second sister-in-law used to work, Zhang Dan said at this time: "Director Li, your sister-in-law just went limp and fell into the sea."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao had already started taking off their clothes.

Early November.

The sea water was already very cold, and Li Duoyu, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, couldn't help shivering when the sea breeze blew.

But now there is not even a name, how to save people, Li Duoyu asked anxiously:
"How long has the person been falling?"

"It just fell down, about two minutes ago."

After hearing the time, Li Duoyu felt that there was still hope. The rescue time was only a few minutes. Once it exceeded the time, even if he was rescued, he would just be a brain-dead vegetable.

But now it is low tide and the current is quite strong. If a person falls in, he will definitely not fall straight down.

You will definitely be pushed away by the current. If you go down here to rescue someone, you will definitely not find them.

Li Duoyu was very nervous at this moment. The flow rate of the sea water on the surface was different from that below. His second sister-in-law had a large weight, but her surface area was also large.

For the first time, Li Duoyu felt how important it was to learn mathematics well, but now he had to race against time, even if it cost him one more minute.

It was also extremely dangerous for the second sister-in-law. Li Duoyu didn't care about that anymore and roughly pointed to two locations.

"Xiao Chao, you are good at swimming, go to the one in front." As soon as Li Duoyu pointed, Chen Wenchao, who had already taken off his clothes, dived into the sea immediately.

Li Duoyu dived towards the nearest point. It was really cold the moment he entered the water, but after diving for a while, he didn't feel so cold anymore.

Li Duoyu kept his eyes open the whole time searching, but the visibility in the sea was not that good, it was a little yellowish, just like snowflakes floating in the sea.

It was difficult to find anyone in such a sight, so Li Duoyu swam hard.

The water depth in the kelp farming area is generally around 20 meters. It just happened to be low tide, so the water here is still about 15 meters deep.

If you use diving equipment, you can't go up or down quickly, but if you use scuba gear, you don't have to worry too much about exploding your lungs.

Here, unless they are working in the sea for a long time, everyone does scuba diving.

During the dive, Li Duoyu actually discovered quite a few fish and even saw a sea wolf.

Fortunately, after seeing him, I ran away immediately, but when I dived to the bottom of the sea, I found that there was a muddy and sandy area below.

There are quite a few swimming crabs moving sideways, and along the way there are quite a few puffer fish bullying the small swimming crabs. Some of the larger puffer fish can bite the small swimming crabs in half with one bite.

The surface of the mud and sand is even more dangerous. Some swimming crabs disappeared while walking, probably because they were dragged into the sand by flounders.

There are also some reef areas full of octopuses, and swimming crabs feel the warm embrace whenever they get close.

But Li Duoyu didn't have time to care about these things now. He tried his best to open his eyes wide and search.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to find colorful clothes ten meters away and Li Duoyu swam over immediately.

To be honest, the scene in front of me was quite scary. My second sister-in-law had her head down and her hair was very messy.

This scene can even be used as a thriller without any special effects.

Li Duoyu swam over quickly and tried to pull her up, but when he did, he found that his second sister-in-law was really damn heavy.

He kept paddling in the water with his feet, but he couldn't pull her up. Instead, she pulled him back.

This is quite embarrassing.

Every second that passes while drowning increases the danger. If the person cannot be pulled out, she might die here. Now, she can be said to be racing against death.

Although I can't say that I like this person, I always feel bad if she leaves like this.

The little fat boy will probably be heartbroken. This guy still loves his mother very much. The second brother seems to not want to pay attention to her and doesn't seem to have any feelings for her, but he has been accommodating and tolerating her for so many years.

We have been together for so many years, and all the grudges and hatreds have long been smoothed over and turned into family affection.

Li Duoyu also regretted that he was not a good swimmer and could not pull his second sister-in-law. Fortunately, at this time, Chen Wenchao swam over and dived directly underneath.

Use force with both feet.

The mud and sand at the bottom were lifted up, lifting my second sister-in-law up and swimming towards the surface.

Li Duoyu also hurried to follow.

But while he was climbing, he suddenly felt a pain in his big toe. He looked over and found that an orchid crab had clamped his toe.

I don’t know if it was because I stepped on it just now, or if something happened, but it actually dared to clamp me. After Li Duoyu swam up, he grabbed it from the back immediately.

Throw it onto the deck of the ship.

"Damn it, I'm going to steam you and eat you later."

After they surfaced, Zhang Dan, who had been waiting on the boat, hurried over to help pull the second sister-in-law onto the boat.

After Li Duoyu climbed onto the boat, the first thing he did was to check his second sister-in-law's heartbeat, breathing and oral cavity.

The heartbeat was still there, but it was very weak. What puzzled Li Duoyu was that no water was poured into his second sister-in-law's mouth.

Or maybe she kept her mouth shut the whole time after she drowned, but that's unrealistic, as my second sister-in-law is also a bit good at swimming.

Unless she wanted to commit suicide, how could she go to the sea to learn how to hold her breath? And since she loves making money so much, how could she commit suicide?

There was only one possibility, just like him in his previous life, he got dizzy and then fell into the sea.

After a series of simple rescue efforts by Li Duoyu, his second sister-in-law's breathing finally became smooth, but there was no sign of waking up.

After confirming with Zhang Dan again and again, Li Duoyu finally ruled out the possibility of brain death.

Li Duoyu didn't care too much and drove the boat directly to the Qixing Bay aquaculture site, then drove her to the county hospital.

That night, my father, mother, second brother, and second sister-in-law's family all received the news and rushed to the hospital.

After receiving the call, Li Haoran, who was at work, took a taxi directly to the county town.

But when Li Haoran arrived, he actually heard even snoring. He was very familiar with that snoring sound.

The doctor said that she was probably ill from overwork. Although she looked healthy, her body was actually full of problems.

My second sister-in-law did not fall asleep, but was really too tired. Her brain was deprived of oxygen and she fell into a deep sleep, and was only woken up then.

Li Duoyu was speechless and could only say: She is worthy of being my second sister-in-law!
Zhu Xiuhua, who had been sleeping for a long time, opened her eyes and found that everyone was there and everyone was looking at her.

"What are you guys doing?" "I was just cleaning the kelp field, why are you here?"

The second sister-in-law moved her body, but found that her whole body was sore and painful, and her throat was very painful, so she couldn't help coughing violently.

When her father Zhu Jianguo saw her wake up, he scolded her and then told her how she fell into the sea and was rescued by Li Duoyu.

When Zhu Xiuhua learned the truth, she saw that all the relatives were there and her husband was sitting beside them holding their little daughter.

Father and mother are here too.

Even Zhou Xiaoying was there.

For a moment, Zhu Xiuhua suddenly felt her nose sore. She thought her whole family hated her and always said bad things about her behind her back, but she didn't expect that everyone cared about her so much.

At this moment, the knot in her heart was completely untied, and she said to Li Duoyu sincerely: "Duoyu, thank you for saving me."

"Thank you very much."

Li Haoran, who had already cried several times, knelt down in front of his uncle and said, "Uncle, thank you so much."

Li Duoyu quickly pulled Li Haoran up and said, "I heard from Manager An that your performance doesn't seem to be good."

Li Haoran looked distressed: "If I just call them, I will definitely not be able to win over those women. As long as their voices are sweet, they will get orders. But when I call them, they think chatting with me is a waste of phone bills."

"Hahaha."

Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh: "You are quite self-aware."

But at this time, Li Haoran suddenly said, "Uncle, do you have a subsidiary in Shenzhen? I plan to try my luck there. I think there are more opportunities there."

Li Duoyu nodded.

"Have you discussed this with your parents?"

"If we discuss it, then I definitely can't go. I plan to do it first and ask for permission later."

"I won't let your mother beat you up."

"I'm an adult now, they don't dare to punish me casually."

"Okay, you decide for yourself. If you want to go, tell Manager An and he will arrange it for you."

"Thank you, uncle."

Li Duoyu coughed twice, and Li Haoran changed his words on the spot: "Thank you, Mr. Li."

After a few days of observation in the hospital, my second sister-in-law was discharged. Li Duoyu thought that she would forget the pain after the wound healed, and she went back to work in the kelp field a few days later.

But unexpectedly, after being discharged from the hospital, his second sister-in-law actually took the initiative to find him and consulted him about some things.

"There are so many fish. Is it not suitable to farm kelp next year?"

Li Duoyu thought for a while, then said: "It's not that it's not suitable for kelp farming.

Breeding is always risky, and the amount of Ulva this year is too large. A green tide may break out at any time, which is very unfavorable for kelp farming.

In addition, offshore pollution is becoming more and more serious. Although Dandan Island is far away from the estuary, it is still affected.

Some substances exceeding the standard have been detected in the kelp being exported now, and I am afraid that the kelp foreign trade will not be so easy to do next year."

"That's it."

“Also, the price of kelp in the next two years is not expected to be very good.”

Zhu Xiuhua asked: "Will the price fall?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Yes, more and more people are engaged in kelp farming now. It is not as scarce as before. There is a lot of stock of dried kelp. Even our Minlong is not selling well. It is likely that everyone will sell off the stock next year, and the price will definitely not go up."

The second sister-in-law said readily: "I understand. I will listen to you and grow less kelp next year."

Li Duoyu didn't expect that his second sister-in-law, who liked to make trouble and act on her own, would actually listen to others.

It seems that there is great terror between life and death, and people's personalities really change after experiencing some terror.

Li Duoyu did not tell her explicitly that the typhoon next year would most likely not be a serious one and would come during the kelp cultivation cycle.

He also reduced the amount of kelp cultivation next year, from more than 5,000 acres to about 3,000 acres.

……

Just as Li Duoyu said, the weather in the second year was very abnormal. First, it was rainy for a month, and there was rain everywhere on the sea.

As long as this kind of weather occurs, kelp farming is basically ruined, and farmers are also cursing God for not being helpful.

There is no need for a typhoon to destroy the kelp farming industry. The quality of the kelp is poor and the price is also very bad.

In the past, if you raised kelp, you could double your profit in the worst case scenario. Now, you can only break even by selling it to Minlong to be made into kelp shreds.

But Minlong didn’t want much, and this year they simply stopped purchasing dried kelp.

For the first time, the farmers encountered the embarrassing situation that the kelp was in the fields but they didn’t know who to sell it to.

The old breeders have nothing to fear. After all, they have made money over the years and have long been prepared. Li Duoyu has also reminded them many times that the market this year will be very bad.

But the new breeders are all worried and sad. They have finally managed to collect enough money to start breeding, but they have encountered this situation.

It was also from this year that the seaside farmers finally understood one thing, that is, breeding is risky and investment should be cautious.

As the temperature warms up, large areas of kelp are left unharvested, and some have even begun to rot in the kelp fields.

Because the cost of collecting kelp may be higher than the value of the kelp itself, many kelp farmers are in a dilemma whether to collect it or not.

But just as they were hesitating, there was a commotion on the sea not far away, and Li Duoyu also received an international call from Nanyang.

It was his overseas Chinese relatives who called, just to tell him that a typhoon had started to hit their place and it was quite strong, so he should be careful.

Not long after the phone call, Li Duoyu also received a call from his fourth uncle in the overseas provinces, who first called Hong Kong Island.

In the story retold by Zhou Xiaoying's relatives, the typhoon was also mentioned.

Since they all knew that Li Duoyu had a large-scale breeding business, they would notify him immediately every time there was a typhoon.

And Li Duoyu has been listening to the weather radio station in overseas provinces these days, that's for sure.

A typhoon was coming towards them soon. His kelp fields had already been harvested, but he had more than just kelp fields.

There are also fish cages for breeding yellow croaker, oyster fields, and embankments for raising shrimp. If a typhoon hits head-on, the factory will also be in danger.

Li Duoyu directly launched a level one typhoon response, regardless of whether the typhoon would hit them or not.

Anyway, we start collecting oysters in advance and catch all the yellow croakers in the fish cages and bring them to the ponds on the shore for breeding.

At the same time, the breakwater was reinforced.

Almost two days after he received the call from his fourth uncle, the wind at the seaside became stronger and the clouds in the sky moved very fast.

After seeing this scene, the fishermen knew that a typhoon was coming. (End of this chapter)
