1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 639

The northeast wind stops.

Dandan Island immediately became busy again, and the entire sea was full of sampans, iron-hulled boats, and even sailing boats.

There were a few children on the top of the mountain who were so bored that they counted boats there.

"Ninety-three."

"Ninety-four."

"Ninety-eight."

One child said excitedly: "If we add it up, there are ninety-eight ships in total. If we add two more ships, it will be one hundred ships."

These boats are all here to hang kelp seedlings for the Li family, and about sixty of them are owned by Dandan Island.

The rest were all rented by Li Duoyu, and most of them came from Nanri Town.

It's already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There are only fifteen days left before the Chinese New Year, and all the other kelp farmers on the island have finished planting. Now only their Li family's 5,000-acre kelp field is left.

The small shacks on the shore are all filled with villagers who collect kelp. Now Li Duoyu doesn't need to teach them how to collect kelp seedlings.

Practice makes perfect.

There are many people here whose movements are more precise and agile than Li Duoyu's.

Just yesterday, a villager named Ou Meilan broke Zhu Xiuhua's record and earned eight yuan a day just for clipping kelp seedlings.

Li Duoyu even took a special look to see if he was just cheating, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a fierce person.

They are completely opposite to the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law is very strong, but this woman named Ou Meilan looks very lean.

But the work in hand is much better than that of the second sister-in-law. It is a pity that the second sister-in-law is pregnant, otherwise we can really hold a Dandan Island kelp seedling competition.

Seeing that she could not make any money, Zhu Xiuhua had been depressed these past two days, sighing at home all day long.

From time to time, I would talk back to my mother-in-law.

The dogs passing by didn't dare to look up at her.

Even though she knew that Li Yaoguo made a lot of money and her family was no longer short of money, she felt particularly uncomfortable seeing others being so good at making money.

Li Yaoguo knows his wife well. Once this woman is left idle, there will be no peace in the family.

He kept mumbling all day: "If I had known if I had had children after the new year, I don't know how much money I would have made less."

Every time he heard this, Li Yaoguo was speechless. What he wanted was you, and he finally got it, but you felt that pregnancy affected your ability to make money.

Li Yaoguo now has only one request for his wife, that is, she should not move around and take good care of the pregnancy.

What he was most afraid of was that Zhu Xiuhua would cause fetal distress. If something unexpected happened, she would continue to demand it.

Li Yaoguo will probably go crazy!

Fortunately, although my wife is powerful, her morning sickness reaction is also very severe. She is invulnerable from the outside but can be attacked from the inside.

Zhu Xiuhua really had nothing to do. She didn't dare to run around and could only stay at home.

However, Li Haoran, who came home for winter vacation, suffered a direct disaster and was targeted by his mother.

On the second day of the holiday, he was forced to stay in the room to do his winter vacation homework. In the end, Li Haoran made a decision against his will.

Instead of being forced to do homework by my mother-in-law at home and listening to her ramblings, I might as well make money by collecting kelp.

Li Haoran is really afraid of the New Year now, because once the New Year comes, his sister-in-law may come back.

Although the scores for the final exam haven't come out yet, he almost knows it. After all, he chose C for all the multiple-choice questions he didn't know.

The essay is about "My Uncle Village Director". I hope that the Chinese teacher can give him face and let him pass the Chinese language.

In fact, he doesn't have big dreams, as long as he can pass, after all, if he passes them all, he will have won half of the people.

After going to junior high school, Li Haoran discovered that the students on Dandan Island were obviously better at studying than those in other places.

In addition, due to the large-scale recruitment expansion this year, people who are worse than him are gone. Anyway, he is definitely not the last one.

After returning home from the holiday yesterday, his grandma took him to Thean Hou Temple to worship Mazu. He knelt down to worship Mazu very devoutly and muttered the same words as his grandma.

But what he read was: "Mother Mazu, please bless my little girl to get married as soon as possible. This year she will go to her husband's house for the New Year. It's best to be on duty during the New Year."

And give me a sister, not a younger brother. Someone like little Tutu is really terrible. "

Li Haoran was very lucky this year, and he really asked for one thing, that is, his sister-in-law did not go home to celebrate the New Year this year.

When Li Jinchuan gave birth to a child, Li Xiaorong had already returned to Rongcheng and used up her vacation. She had to be on duty in the hospital during the Chinese New Year this year and could not go home for the Chinese New Year.

Li Haoran wore his father's water shoes and came to the place where kelp seedlings were planted near the pier. He saw his father who was keeping accounts.

Li Haoran smiled and said: "Dad, I also want to collect kelp seedlings. Can you arrange a job for me?"

Seeing his son wearing water shoes, Li Yaoguo asked curiously: "Didn't your mother force you to do your homework? Are you willing to let you out?"

"I told her that I would use the money I earned from collecting kelp seedlings to buy exercise books, and she let me out."

Li Yaoguo frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to use the money you earn to buy exercise books?"

Li Haoran sighed helplessly, as if he had seen through it: "What can I do? I am still a child now, and the money I earn is not my own. I might as well use it to buy exercise books. At least I bought them myself."

The corner of Li Yaoguo's mouth twitched. This boy has really grown up. He already knows how to insinuation. It seems that he still resents him for taking away the big red envelope given by his overseas Chinese relatives.

Li Yaoguo touched his head: "Okay, I won't take away the money I earned from clipping kelp this time. I will pay for the exercise book for you."

Li Haoran's eyes lit up.

"Dad, you didn't lie to me."

"Have I often lied to you? Why don't you trust me at all?"

Li Haoran laughed twice, and then said: "Dad, if you don't have an exercise book, don't buy it. After the new year, take me to the zoo."

Li Yaoguo thought for a while: "Okay, if you behave well, I will take you to the zoo after the new year."

"Then I'll take the kelp seedlings."

"Don't worry, go and see how everyone does it. If you don't know how to do it, you can help others. I'll give you fifty cents a day."

"Why is it only fifty cents? Doesn't everyone else get the same amount?"

Li Yaoguo glanced at his son. Sometimes, he really didn't want to hurt his self-esteem.

Except for eating faster than others, this kid does everything else very slowly. He is often half-hearted and easily distracted. If calculated on a piece-rate basis, this kid probably wouldn't even earn fifty cents.

"If you think fifty cents is too little, why don't you just do it by the piece like everyone else?"

Li Haoran weighed it up.

"Let's just go by the day. Fifty cents is just fifty cents. If I add ten days to it, I can still make five yuan."

Li Yaoguo smiled. This kid is still so naive. He is relatively lucky and has never suffered much since he was a child.

It is not an easy task to collect kelp seedlings in such a cold weather. There are not many people at his age who can persevere. Li Haoran found a small shack nearby, and was about to see how everyone collected kelp seedlings, but as soon as he entered, he met an acquaintance who was about the same age as him, Zhang Siyu.

Li Haoran, who had been sitting at the table in front of him in elementary school, was very familiar with the back of her head, and even knew exactly where her head was.

What left him speechless the most was that even though they were in junior high school, they were still in the same class, and by chance they sat in front of him again.

Zhang Siyu looked very surprised when she saw him: "Haoran, you're not here to pick up kelp seedlings, are you?"

It is difficult for Zhang Siyu to understand how someone as rich as Li Haoran's family would come to pick up kelp seedlings.

She came out to collect kelp seedlings purely to make some money. After all, what she fears most is vacation.

As long as there is a holiday, her parents will definitely take her to work together, talking about how much money the family owes all day long.

There are also younger sisters and younger brothers to support.

What else can I say? Since she went to school, the family has lost a labor force, so she can make money during the winter vacation.

Although she is young, she has a long working history. She has been helping the family since she was sensible.

Seeing that he didn't know what to do, Zhang Siyu said, "If you don't know how to do it, I'll teach you how to do it."

Li Haoran didn't pretend to be aloof on purpose, it's just that his status in school is relatively "special" and he would be too close to a woman.

The other person would immediately become "Big Brother's woman", and Chen Shujing cried several times because of this.

"No, I can just learn it by myself. You really don't need to teach me."

Zhang Siyu smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm very good at clipping kelp seedlings. I can teach you. First, you need to soak the rope.

It is best to loosen the place where the kelp seedlings are to be inserted before soaking, otherwise it will expand after soaking in water and it will be difficult to break it open. "

"Oh, that's it." Li Haoran blinked, and then asked: "How much money can you make in a day by collecting kelp seedlings?"

Zhang Siyu smiled and said, "The wages at your uncle's house are relatively high. I can earn almost three yuan a day. If I sleep less for a few hours, I can earn four yuan."

"Then did all the money you earned go to your family?"

Zhang Siyu nodded and said: "There is no way, our family is relatively poor, and we can make a little bit."

After hearing this, Li Haoran was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that he was quite happy. He had been carefree since he was a child and had never suffered any hardship.

Li Haoran glanced at her hands, which were purple from the cold and covered in frostbite, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you even wear gloves?"

"Wearing gloves is very inconvenient."

"Aren't you cold?"

"It's cold, but I'm used to it."

"Oh okay."

Outside the shack, Li Yaoguo couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw the girl taking the initiative to help his little chubby boy.

This boy is a little fat, but his popularity with women is good, but Li Yaoguo knows very well that his brother-in-law has given him too many points.

In addition, Duoyu dotes on him very much, and even his father is a little jealous. This boy has such a good life!

In fact, he didn't ignore Haoran. Even if he went to junior high school, he would ask someone from time to time to ask about this kid's performance in school.

He even heard the gossip, and Haoran and Chen Shujing were regarded as a couple.

But Li Yaoguo still knows the character of his own child. If you say that he eats food from the canteen, he does believe it.

But if he said he fell in love prematurely, Li Yaoguo wouldn't believe it. This kid was so lazy that he couldn't even hide from troublesome things like falling in love.

But after thinking about it, if the food at the girl's house is delicious, it's really hard to say, maybe it will be taken down.

Li Yaoguo also thought a lot about this kid. First of all, it is impossible to be a top student. As long as he is not the last one, it is already good.

Li Yaoguo still supports Duoyu's statement that studying is an easy path, but this path is not suitable for everyone.

Rather than letting him waste time in a direction he is not good at, it is better to plan his future way out in advance.

It's impossible to go to high school. Even if you pay him to go there, he probably won't get even half of the passing grade.

Instead of letting him study in confusion, it is better to let him learn one or two skills that will be used throughout his life.

Li Yaoguo looked at the little chubby boy who had already begun to learn to pinch kelp, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

If this kid can persist for ten days, then he will ask Duoyu for something. After Haoran graduates from junior high school, he will directly spend money to send Haoran to Ludao Fisheries Technical School to study.

The harvesting of kelp seedlings is in full swing, and at the same time, fishing for shrimps and blue crabs has officially begun.

After all, it's already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only fifteen days until New Year's Eve, so the shrimp farm's phone numbers have already been buzzing.

Chen Xiaoyan, who was in charge of answering the phone, answered the unfamiliar voice when she picked up the phone.

"We have already started fishing for prawns and blue crabs. If you want live shrimps, you need to be waterproof and oxygenated. Come and line up to get the shrimps. Be sure to bring your previous reservation."

If you want frozen shrimp, you have to tell us one day in advance. We will put the caught shrimp directly into the cold storage to keep it fresh. "

After hearing this, the other party immediately replied: "We want live shrimps. We will drive over to pick them up."

"Okay, I understand, I'll register it for you."

The bosses who had previously signed a shrimp purchase agreement with Li Duoyu were all smiling now.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, their province has already entered the mode of saying goodbye and treating guests.

The price of ordinary sea shrimp has already risen to ten yuan, but Li Duoyu's giant prawns have caused a sensation as soon as they entered the market.

The quality of the prawns raised by Li Duoyu is truly outstanding. They are very popular in farmers' markets and vegetable markets. After all, the gap between the two sides is really too big.

Each of the prawns he cultivates is almost as big as a palm, and they are real giant prawns.

Some traders even shouted with loudspeakers: "Come and see, come and see, Dandan Island Minlong Company specializes in exporting large prawns to island countries."

We will eat whatever the devils eat.

It's hard to find a shrimp, the quantity is limited, so be slow

If you don't buy it today, the price will continue to increase tomorrow. Eat early and enjoy it early. It's expensive, but it's all about the taste in your mouth. "

It has been a few years since the reopening, and many families are still able to afford it, and those who have refrigerators and freezers at home also want to stock up now.

The prawns Li Duoyu farms are almost always sold out as soon as they enter the market, while the green crabs he farms are bundled with the prawns for consumption.

If a vendor sells Fujian dragon prawns, they must also sell blue crabs. If you can't afford the prawns.

Then they can choose to settle for the next best thing and buy two blue crabs to satisfy their craving.

At this moment, some elderly people in the village all gathered together.

There are Chen Yuanshan and Chen Fotan.

These two relatively prestigious people, including the eldest Qi Wenli, were also there.

The old people who always like to play cards in the square on weekdays are also there. Because of their higher seniority, almost all of these people are members of the Thean Hou Temple governing body.

And they were discussing something related to Li Duoyu. Chen Huotan, who used to be the most prestigious and is currently ranked second, said while leaning on a cane:

“The ninth day of the ninth lunar month next year will be the 1,000th anniversary of Mazu's ascension to heaven.

It has been confirmed that Meizhou Island will hold the "Mazu Millennium Festival" event, so the nature of Datoujia next year will be different." (End of Chapter)
