Chapter 105 Typhoon Day (Five Updates, Please Subscribe)
Li Duoyu used a sampan to pull the bamboo house to the Eshui Beach.
There are many tractors here, pulling fishing boats in the sea.
They use a triangular iron frame, with a movable tire on each of the two rear corners, and the front is fixed on the tractor's bucket.
Speaking of which, tractors are really useful at the seaside. As long as the air intake and exhaust ports are not flooded, they can walk sideways in the sea.
At this time, a long wave more than one meter high came not far away. Seeing such a big wave, the tractor driver was afraid to wave instantly.
He drove the tractor ashore quickly and shouted to the boat captain: "The waves are too big, drive the boat closer."
When the tractor saw Li Duoyu's bamboo house coming, the fishermen who had parked their fishing boats ran over to watch.
"Awesome, the house is pulled over."
A fisherman who had just built a fishing raft not long ago saw that Li Duoyu's fishing raft could be disassembled like this, and couldn't help but pat his thigh.
"Fuck, it can be done this way, why didn't I think of it."
The master driving the tractor looked at Li Duoyu's bamboo house helplessly, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Duoyu, you really have to pay more for this."
The eldest cousin who had just pulled the fishing boat ashore, after seeing Li Duoyu's tricky operation, couldn't help but sighed: "Now, you are the best in the village."
Li Duoyu smiled.
"No, I'm just too poor, so I want to minimize the loss."
A boat boss on the side shook his head and sighed: "You are still poor, and you will be the richest in the village after selling kelp."
"Old Zhang, I won't be the richest in the village after selling kelp, so you can pay me the part I owe."
"I'm talking about the future."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
The tractor took great efforts to get Li Duoyu's bamboo house ashore, and finally didn't charge him more money.
And it was almost afternoon.
The sky was getting darker and the wind on the seashore was getting stronger. The leaves of the banana trees planted in the vegetable garden were blown apart.
There were only a few seabirds on the sea.
The sea breeze rolled up the fine sand, which flew around the island and fell into people's eyes, which was really uncomfortable.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger.
The waves were getting bigger and bigger.
In this kind of weather, no one dared to go to the sea, especially on the beach and mudflats, where there was a high probability of rip currents that could swallow people.
The village radio was also repeatedly shouting: "Fellow villagers who are still outside, the typhoon is coming, please go home quickly, don't go to the beach, the waves at the pier are very big and dangerous, take care of your children, don't let them run around."
Not long after.
Bursts of heavy rain fell on Dandan Island, and the arrival of this kind of rain proved that the typhoon had really arrived.
Some villagers, fearing that the roof would be blown off by the typhoon, climbed up and reinforced the tiles with stones again.
And it was about six o'clock in the afternoon.
Under the influence of the typhoon,
the whole island was directly without power.
However, the power outage did not have much impact on the villagers, because in this era, almost everyone had no electrical appliances, let alone mobile phones, the Internet, computers, etc.
In this era, the biggest use of electricity for fishermen is to light up the lights.
Dandan Island is an isolated island with no cables or anything. The electricity on the island depends entirely on the two generators sent by returned overseas Chinese.
Although the Tianhou Temple also installed a turbine generator in the small reservoir above, the island is usually short of water, so how can it afford to use fresh water to generate electricity.
Since the electricity is burned by diesel.
So the electricity price will be relatively high.
Families like Chen Wenchao, in order to save electricity bills, have never even pulled wires at home, and there are many families like Chen Wenchao on Dandan Island.
More than half of Chenjia Village has no electricity.
With the arrival of heavy rain.
It was dark in an instant.
At this time, most fishermen would light lanterns. Except that kerosene is more expensive, the brightness of the lanterns is no worse than that of light bulbs at this time.
And on typhoon days.
The happiest person is Li Haoran, because when a typhoon comes, he can take several days off in a row. If there is a power outage, he can also find an excuse not to do homework.
And this typhoon caught up with Monday.
It did not take up the weekend time.
He even expected that the typhoon would blow off the roof of the teaching building, so that he would not have to attend classes for at least two or three weeks.
But what he didn't expect was that.
His mother got a lantern from somewhere. After lighting it, she placed it in front of the desk and took out several handwritten test papers.
"Just as the typhoon came, your aunt said that she would give you one of these test papers every month. After you finish, give it to your aunt for correction."
Li Haoran's smile stopped abruptly. He thought that he could get rid of her if his aunt went to school.
Unexpectedly, there was such a trick.
In the bedroom next door, Li Duoyu also lit a lantern.
There was wind outside the room, and the strong wind would make a "whoosh whoosh" sound through the gap of the wooden door.
And the rain was in waves, hitting horizontally, and the wooden door and window could not stop the rain at all, and they were all wet.
Li Duoyu quickly moved Zhou Xiaoying's desk to another place, but the baby couldn't sleep because of the whistling of the typhoon and the sound of rain hitting tiles.
He kept crying.
Zhou Xiaoying held him and kept coaxing him. Seeing that there was no other way, she had to let him drink milk to calm his nerves.
And when encountering such a typhoon day.
Many captains of large ships are very worried, but they can only leave it to fate because it is difficult to pull large ships ashore.
They can only pray that the typhoon will not land on Dandan Island.
Uncle Li Zhengfa looked at the direction of the shelter from his home. Although the boat entered the harbor, it was still swayed by the wind.
The current wind is about level nine.
But the fishermen living on the dock have already felt the horror of the waves.
The long waves with "white heads" hit the stone bars of the dock, making a huge noise and stirring up waves four or five meters high.
The balcony of the dock residents was directly wet, and the first floor was already flooded with seawater.
At first, Lao Zhuang took a bucket to scoop out the backflowing seawater, but seeing that it was getting more and more, he gave up.
People ran directly to the second floor.
But it was still useless. The splashing waves would hit the balcony on the second floor, and the seawater flowed into the house through the gap.
Finally, Lao Zhuang gave up.
Who told them to build the house here at the dock for the convenience of going out to sea? They can only bear this consequence.
The one who had the most headache that night was Chen Wenchao. His old house creaked in the typhoon.
The tiles on the roof had not been repaired for more than ten years, and many places were broken.
The rain dripped into the house along the wood, forcing him to use a basin to catch the rain, but there were too many leaks.
Some dripped directly onto the bed, and his basins were not enough, so he even had to use the urinal.
When Li Duoyu saw that the rain was getting heavier and the child was asleep, he simply said hello to Zhou Xiaoying.
He put on a straw raincoat, took the key, and went straight to the brigade warehouse. When he arrived at the warehouse, he found that his father was already there.
There were seven or eight wooden basins on the ground, catching the leaking rainwater.
