Chapter 243 Visit

After Uncle Mao took the bottle, he regained his energy a little, but he still looked very tired.

Zhang Defa sighed: "Fortunately, you discovered it early. If it had been later, your brain might have been damaged."

"So serious." Li Duoyu said in shock.

Zhang Defa sighed with emotion: "Every year, many elderly people suffer from charcoal poisoning. Many of them have already passed away when they find out. People don't know that they died from burning charcoal, and they think they died at the end of their lives."

"It's good to be able to walk away, but I'm afraid of the kind that is half dead."

Li Duoyu pretended not to understand anything. In fact, he knew very well that carbon monoxide poisoning, like drowning, can cause brain hypoxia.

If you inhale too much carbon monoxide, even if the person can be revived, most of the people's brains will become inoperable. In severe cases, it may even cause brain death and become a vegetative state.

After a while.

Uncle Mao's family members hurried over without waiting for their family members to thank him.

Li Duoyu ran away immediately.

He felt like things always happened wherever he went lately, just like a detective in an island country movie.

We just saved the Zhao brothers last time.

This time I saved Uncle Mao again.

It's not even a month old yet. Although this is a good thing, Li Duoyu feels a little evil.

Others were reborn with great luck and a lot of fish. After his rebirth, he felt like he was either rescuing people or on the way to rescuing them.

Another day, I must go to Thean Hou Temple to pay my respects.

Li Duoyu returned to the village committee's broadcast room.

The stove that Uncle Mao lit was still burning.

This time, the doors and windows were opened for ventilation. Li Duoyu turned on the broadcasting equipment, then cleared his throat: "Ahem."

"Notice from the village committee, notice from the village committee."

"Hello fellow villagers, I am the village director Li Duoyu, and I have something very important to inform you now."

"Since the weather is very cold this year, many people must be burning charcoal at home to keep warm. Everyone must be careful to open windows and doors for ventilation when burning charcoal, otherwise they will be poisoned by coal."

"Don't think I'm joking. Someone in our village has already won the bid, especially the elderly who live alone. Never light hot coals when sleeping."

"I have one more thing to inform you. Village cadres who are free now, please come to the village committee meeting room. The village accountant will also come with you."

"Notice again."

After Li Duoyu finished broadcasting, after about half an hour, many people came from the village committee.

The commander of the militia company, Zhang Erhu.

There are also several village committee members, Zhang Jinsha, Tang Ping, and Liao Juntian.

His second brother Li Yaoguo also came.

Zhang Erhu said when they met: "Duoyu, you are finally willing to call us once. I thought that you, the village director, don't need us anymore."

"Brother Hu, what are you talking about? Without you, what's the use of me alone?"

Zhang Jinsha sighed with emotion: "To be honest, if it hadn't been for the announcement broadcast today, I would have almost forgotten that I was still a village cadre."

Tang Ping smiled and said, "Me too."

Old Liao also said: "Recently, Party Secretary Wang was hospitalized, and none of you came. If Ou Wusheng's family hadn't lived here, I wouldn't have been able to find anyone to talk to."

Zhang Erhu smiled and said: "Village director, you called us here today. Has your property been stolen again?"

"Not this time."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "It was just broadcast, everyone must have heard it."

"Yes, I heard it."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "That's it. Uncle Mao was poisoned just now when he was burning charcoal to keep warm in the broadcast room. Fortunately, I just got here, otherwise he might be dead."

"Uncle Mao, are you okay?"

"It should be fine, but I have to hang the bottle for a few days and rest for a while."

"I called you here today because I want to trouble you to go to the village and stop burning charcoal in the house. I also want to visit some elderly people in the village to see if they have any difficulties."

"Okay, that's a good thing."

"By the way, I have called you all here today, and there is one more thing I want to discuss with you. During the visit, if I find that there are really difficulties, I plan to use the money of our village committee to help them. What do you think?"

Zhang Erhu smiled and said: "No problem, I have no objection."

Lao Liao also agreed: "Wang Dapao has been the captain for so many years, but he just stuffs money into his trouser pockets and never takes it out."

Li Duoyu said: "Then let's go through the process. If you agree, we will vote by a show of hands."

Li Duoyu just finished speaking.

Everyone raised their hands.

Lao Liao sighed with emotion: "Speaking of it, I am really ashamed. I am considered a veteran cadre in our village, but this is the first time I have done practical things for the people."

Li Duoyu looked at his second brother Li Yaoguo: "By the way, does our village committee still have money now?" Li Yaoguo thought for a while and replied: "Yes, but not many. Last time, we sold more than 500 casuarina trees. I collected some money, so if I add it up now, it’s almost three hundred yuan.”

"Why is it so small?"

Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. When Dandan Island was still a production brigade, it was quite wealthy, with more than ten fishing boats of various types.

Can be modified.

The fishing boats were sold by the Wang brothers under various names, and the money was spent under various names. As a result, the current village committee is an empty shell.

There is not much land to be had;

No money, not much money.

In addition, the taxes paid by coastal fishermen are very small, and there is no spare money for local governments to allocate.

If the village committee wants to have some surplus food, it has to find a way.

Li Duoyu pondered for a while: "Yaoguo, please give me a table of the village's collective assets someday, and I'll see if I can make it work."

"Okay, no problem."

After the meeting.

Li Duoyu made a brief distribution, and the six people were divided into three groups and began to visit the whole village. He and Tang Ping visited the poorest half of the village and the end of the village.

The visit process was also very simple, just knocking on every door and warning them not to burn charcoal at home for heating.

During the visit, Li Duoyu focused on visiting several poor households.

In the past few years of opening up, everyone's life has indeed become much better. In the eyes of outsiders, Xiasha Village seems to be very rich.

But only a small number of people are rich.

Most people are still relatively poor.

Some families don't even have electric lights. In the winter, their cotton-padded jackets are all patched.

Some don't even have to worry about charcoal poisoning, because they are reluctant to buy charcoal.

After all, Dandan Island is an island, and firewood and charcoal must be bought with money.

Some lack clothes and cotton, and their hands and ears have frostbite.

Some, like more than ten years ago, still eat sweet potato noodles with dried fish, and can't even afford rice.

During the visit, Li Duoyu found that the reasons for these people's poverty are also varied.

Some are old and have lost their labor force.

Some have conflicts with their children, and they don't have any contact with them until they die, and no one supports them.

Some are poor due to illness.

Some are lazy and eat nothing, and wait for death.

In short, there are all kinds of people.

Li Duoyu registered them according to their situation.

It is not realistic to give them money directly.

If you really give them money, other villagers will definitely not be happy.

Li Duoyu can only help them to a limited extent, that is, to help them refurbish their old quilts before the next cold wave comes.

However, there is no quilt-making master on Dandan Island. If you want to refurbish the old quilt, you have to go to the town to invite a master.

"Brother Tang, you seem to have opened a seafood store in town, do you know anyone who fluffs cotton?"

"We have some acquaintances, but not very familiar with each other."

"Can you discuss with him to come to our village to fluff cotton for a while?"

"Sure, I'll go ask him on the way when I deliver seafood to town tomorrow."

"Then I'll trouble you."

"It's a small matter, it's what I should do. By the way, Duoyu, do you know about sea clams? I plan to raise sea clams recently."

"The sea clams in Zhanggang?"

Tang Ping nodded: "Yes, that kind of large sea clams."

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "This seems to be farmed in a net, and the investment cost is quite high."

Tang Ping smiled: "No matter how big it is, it's probably not as big as your eel factory. There is one more thing. When I raise it in the future, can I use your channels to introduce Mr. Chen to me?"

"That's no problem."

Tang Ping smiled: "Duoyu, do you want to invest a little? I feel more at ease if you raise it together."

"No, I have already raised a lot of things. If I raise another sea clam, I guess I will be too busy."
