Chapter 449: Mobilizing Donations From the Entire Island (1/2)

During the three weeks of fishing for cloves, the two Zhao brothers earned more than 2,000 yuan.

Zhao Dahai, who owns his own boat, has earned about 1,500 yuan by himself. In these three weeks, he has earned more than he has earned in a whole year.

Zhao Dahai, who had made money, was thinking about building an additional floor to his house. After all, it would be a bit embarrassing to build a new house in such a good location as the dock with only one floor.

During the time when he built the house, there were always people who blamed him: Dahai, do you have no money to build a house?

Of course, the most important thing is to find some relief. He is no longer poor, but those women still look down on him, so build a house and see if they dare to say no to him.

This time, the officers' meeting was with teachers, not village girls like them, which made Zhao Dahai very relieved.

Zhao Erniu and Wang Jinshan cooperated to catch cloves. Although they didn't make as much as Dahai, they still made a lot, almost more than 800 yuan.

After experiencing such days of collecting money, the two brothers are now very uncomfortable. Now they can only earn a few yuan a day fishing and catching blue crabs.

Recently, many people in the village have been busy with kelp farming, and their brothers really regret it now.

If the two brothers had not quarreled, they might have been able to create a thirty-acre kelp field by pooling their money together.

As long as the kelp is harvested, it may be worth tens of thousands of yuan. Seeing so many people raising kelp this year, the Zhao brothers are envious.

But it's too late now. The two brothers plan to catch more blue crabs before the Chinese New Year. Then, like Li Duoyu, they will first breed the blue crabs and sell them a few days before New Year's Eve.

During the Chinese New Year period, blue crabs can be sold for at least two yuan.

However, the two brothers had been fishing in ground traps for several days in a row, and the fishing conditions for blue crabs were not ideal. They caught less than fifteen crabs in three days.

Zhao Dahai, whose face was covered with mud, complained: "It's all your fault, you caught the blue crab seedlings too hard, and now we don't have any blue crabs to catch."

Zhao Erniu did not deny that he had indeed caught them too hard, and he had almost caught all the blue crab seedlings in the tidal flats.

After being unable to catch him, he even went to the mangrove forest in another village to continue catching him.

However, the money was really good. In two months, he got two thousand yuan, otherwise he would not have the money to build that house.

If he had to choose again, he would definitely continue to catch him.

At this time, the two brothers heard Chen Wenchao calling them and ran out of the mangrove.

"Xiaochao, what do you want from us?"

The two brothers knew very well that Xiaochao would not take the initiative to look for them. Once he came to find them, it would definitely be under the orders of Brother Yu, and he would definitely come to live again.

Chen Wenchao said: "Dahai, Erniu, are you free these two days?"

"I'm free, very free."

"Okay, those blue crabs raised by Brother Yu are about to be caught. You are more experienced, so come together to help catch them."

"Okay, no problem."

After hearing this, Zhao Dahai was a little disappointed. He thought it was another big money-making project. He didn't expect it to just help catch blue crabs.

This purely physical work doesn't make much money, but even if you don't make any money, you still have to smile and help.

Maybe Li Duoyu thinks their brothers are good and throws out some delicious steamed buns for them to eat.

In fact, even now, the two brothers have no idea about blue crab farming. It was not until they arrived at the crab pond that the two brothers slowly understood one thing.

It’s not that they can’t catch blue crabs, it’s that the blue crabs are all in these ponds.

Looking at the cages of dense blue crabs, the two brothers were stunned for a long time, and Zhao Erniu began to regret it now.

The two brothers have been dealing with blue crabs for so many years and have caught blue crabs for more than ten years. Maybe there are really not as many blue crabs as Li Duoyu can raise in one pond.

If this is the case, it doesn't mean that Li Duoyu negated the efforts of the two brothers for more than ten years in less than half a year.

Looking at the plump blue crabs, Zhao Dahai thought for a long time and suddenly asked: "Xiao Chao, I want to ask you something, are these blue crabs easy to raise?"

The two brothers will definitely not be able to keep up with kelp farming, but as for blue crab farming, they still have a chance if they try hard.

Next year they will build a smaller pond, catch blue crab seedlings themselves, and then learn from Li Duoyu and use cheap snails and shellfish to raise blue crabs.

Chen Wenchao frowned for a while:

"I suggest you don't touch this thing. Anyway, I feel that this thing may be more difficult to raise than eels. There are really too many uncertain factors."

"Is it really difficult to raise?"

Chen Wenchao nodded and said: "Brother Yu, he has told us in private that he can guarantee that at least half of the eels will survive, but he can't guarantee anything about this thing."

"Understood."

Zhao Dahai asked with a smile: "Then ask Brother Yu, can we two brothers come and learn blue crab farming? We two brothers will be apprentices for free."

"Well, I can ask Brother Yu for you."

"Thanks, Chao."

Due to the sudden cold weather, Zhou Xiaoying's hands and feet have been very cold these days. In the past, she didn't like hugging.

Now every night, I often stretch my feet between Li Duoyu's thighs. The moment of contact, it feels so refreshing.

The reason is that several classes in the school still have classes outdoors. When the temperature drops and the sea breeze blows, everyone is shivering from the cold.

Li Duoyu also visited the school. The classrooms were obviously not enough, and some students had to attend classes outdoors just like they did before.

Several students' faces were red with cold, and some children even came to class carrying woven bamboo fire cages.

After seeing this, Li Duoyu spent a little money to build a temporary classroom for them that could protect them from the wind.

At the same time, a donation was organized with the participation of the whole island, and the place was chosen to be at Thean Hou Temple.

After all, if you do good deeds, you should always let Empress Mazu look at you twice, and maybe she will take more care of you.

The most important thing is that the people here are very pious to the gods. In other places, they probably wouldn't be able to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for donating money, but it is different here in Thean Hou Temple.

In the past, the villagers of Dandan Island could not afford to eat meat even on ordinary days, but on Mazu's birthday, no matter how poor they were, they still had to have some meat dishes.

A lot of people came to donate this time. It can be said that almost all the prominent people from the two villages came.

There were even more people watching, and five to six hundred people gathered at the Tianhou Temple that day.

Principal Zhu took the lead in describing the current difficulties faced by Dandan Island Primary School and the urgent need for classrooms.

After the principal finished speaking, Miao Zhu shouted with a "big loudspeaker":

"Today, we are all holding a donation ceremony in front of the Mazu Empress Temple. Please register in front if you want to donate."

Li Duoyu was the first to donate money. After he finished donating the money, Miao Zhu shouted on the spot: "Thank you to our village director Li Duoyu for donating 3,000 yuan. Mother Mazu bless your family to be safe, reunited, and everything goes well." "

Li Duoyu also clasped his fists at the temple blessing and said, "Thank you, thank you for your blessing."

Following Li Duoyu was his uncle Li Niantian. After he donated the money, Miao Zhu shouted: "Thank you to our former captain of the fishing team Li Niantian for donating 1,000 yuan. Mazu Goddess bless your family's safety."

"Thanks to Li Zhengfa from Team 7 of Xiasha Village for donating 1,000 yuan."

"Thank you Li Shuguang for donating 500 yuan and wishing you a happy family and more wealth."

As soon as Miao Zhu finished speaking, Li Shuguang couldn't help but said: "Uncle, I already have two children, so I don't need to add another one."

After hearing this, Miao Zhu, who was a bit older, immediately changed his mind and said, "Then I wish your children good health and 100% points in all subjects."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile: "As for the two children in his family, if they want to get a hundred points in the exam, it would be faster to go directly to Teacher Zhou to steal the answers." Li Shuguang was also helpless. After all, his family's The two are notorious academic scumbags, even worse than Li Haoran.

Next.

Lao Lu also donated 500 yuan, and what surprised everyone the most was that Wang Jinshan actually donated 1,500 yuan.

"Jinshan, don't you have no money? How can you donate so much?"

Wang Jinshan scratched his head: "I recently made some money fishing for cloves. My father was greedy for so much. I feel very sorry for everyone. It just happened that the school was building classrooms. If you donate some money, I hope you can feel at ease. I also hope everyone Can you forgive us?"

After Wang Jinshan finished speaking, everyone looked at him with admiration, and some even applauded.

"Jinshan, you are more responsible than your father."

"This kid from Jinshan can do it."

Wang Dapao, who was in the crowd, was silent and lowered his head, feeling very sorry for this child. He felt that all the mistakes made by him and Jun Jun were all retribution on him.

At this time, the second daughter next to Wang Dapao gritted her teeth and said: "You don't know how to help your relatives even if you make money. You have to turn your arms outward. You are really heartless."

Wang Dapao glared at her.

"For people like you, throwing money into the water is ten times better than giving it to you."

What Wang Dapao didn't expect was that his second daughter actually responded: "Dad, if you didn't give Wang Jinshan that hundred acres of kelp, he would have made so much money."

"You don't want it, Jinshan will get it himself."

"We just put it over there and didn't say we didn't want it. Now it's all turned into gold."

Wang Dapao closed his eyes and didn't want to talk to his daughters at all. He felt that if he continued talking, he would be angry and give out a heart attack.

This time, the donation was for the whole island. Seeing how much money Xiasha Village had donated, Chenjia Village was embarrassed to be an iron rooster. Besides, it was originally because the school classrooms in their village collapsed, which led to the early merger of schools.

If this donation does not come up, it is estimated that the students in Chenjiacun will really be unable to hold their heads high on Dandan Island in the future.

Chen Atai was the first to stand up among the households in Chenjiacun that had tens of thousands of dollars and directly donated one thousand and fifty dollars.

The temple blessing shouted: "Thank you Chen Atai from Chenjia Village for your donation of one thousand and five hundred dollars. Mother Mazu will bless you with a bumper harvest of kelp and make a lot of money this year."

Chenjia Village is indeed not as wealthy as Xiasha Village, but many people also made money from the clove fishing this time.

"I'll also donate five hundred."

The people in their village were indeed relatively poor. At the back of the donation room, a man nicknamed "Chicken Feather" raised his hand and said, "Ten yuan, can you donate it?"

After hearing this, the villagers present laughed, but Li Duoyu shouted openly with a loudspeaker: "Of course you can donate, any amount of money is fine, the most important thing is your heart."

Li Duoyu quite admired this kind of person. He knew he didn't have much money, but he was still willing to donate money with shame.

This kind of person is much better than those who are so bitter and unwilling to donate a dime.

"If you can donate ten yuan, then we will donate, and I will donate ten yuan." The villagers who originally just came to watch the fun ran back to get money.

Seeing that everyone was so active in donating money, Principal Zhu smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. He kept bowing to everyone: "Thank you all so much. On behalf of all the teachers and students in the school, I thank you for your enthusiasm and kindness."

Li Duoyu launched an island-wide donation, and in the end, five hundred families participated in the donation.

At last count, the total amount of donations was about 22,000.

But just as the donation was about to end, Chen Yueyou, the current boss of Rongcheng Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, also came to the scene.

This time, she did not wear a skirt, but a smart black business suit, and the smell of perfume on her body was also lighter.

But her aura was much stronger than before. When she came, the villagers involuntarily gave way.

And after she briefly inquired about how much Li Duoyu had donated, she walked to the front and asked, "Can we outsiders donate?"

Miao Zhu replied: "Of course you can donate."

"Then our Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company will donate 2,900 yuan."

Miao Zhu said with a smile: "Thank you Xinyuanchan Company for donating two thousand ninety-nine yuan, and also thank this beauty for her kindness. I wish you a prosperous business and find your right husband as soon as possible."

Chen Yuanyou blushed slightly.

Li Duoyu came over to say hello: "Boss Chen, you are so generous. The price is nearly three thousand yuan."

"How can I compare with Director Li?"

The two smiled and felt that there were too many people here and it was not a place to discuss business, so they went directly to the eel factory.

When Chen Yuanyou arrived at the eel factory, he did not sit down to drink tea. Instead, he looked at the pond not far away and asked, "Is that where you raise blue crabs?"

"Yeah." Li Duoyu nodded.

"Then let's go over and see if the crabs you raise are as good as the blue crabs you sent over."

"Boss Chen, that's for sure. Even if the random inspection is fine, if you encounter bad blue crabs, I will give them to you for free."

Chen Yuanyou smiled and said: "Director Li, this is what you said. If the quality of the blue crabs is not good, then I will give you a big blow. Don't feel bad when the time comes."

When the two came to the crab pond, the Zhao brothers and Chen Wenchao were pulling the blue crab fishing cages onto the bamboo rafts.

Li Duoyu shouted: "Xiaochao, bring over two cages and show Boss Chen the blue crabs we raise."

"Okay, Brother Yu."

Chen Wenchao rowed a bamboo raft and came to Li Duoyu and Chen Yuanyu: "I just pulled up two ground cages, and there are a lot of blue crabs in them."

When the Zhao brothers in the center of the pond saw Chen Yuan Yuan, they were a little afraid to look at her.

They naturally knew who this beautiful woman was, last year, when she came to Dandan Island for the first time.

The two brothers had spoken highly of her, but now that they knew her identity, they no longer dared to think anything wrong.

Zhao Erniu couldn't help but sigh: "She's so damn beautiful and has a good figure. The way she's dressed today, she really looks like that actress from Hong Kong. We used to have a poster of her at home."

"When you said that, I suddenly remembered if it was the one posted in front of my bed before."

"Is it Li Lizhen?"

Zhao Erniu nodded and said: "Yes, it's her."

Zhao Dahai looked at Li Duoyu with envy and whispered:

"Er Niu, what kind of shit is Duoyu's luck? His wife is pretty enough, but the female boss he works with is even more beautiful. Do you think it's possible for them to have an affair?"

At this point, Zhao Dahai couldn't help but gesture.

Zhao Erniu shook his head and said:

"I don't think it's possible. For a woman like her, the people who chase her might be able to form a reinforced company. Brother Yu is indeed very powerful, but in big cities, it's 100% not enough."

Zhao Dahai thought for a while: "That's right. After all, there is a big gap between us and the people in the city. I feel that not many girls in the city will like us who are all smelling of seafood." (End of Chapter)
