Chapter 51 The End of the Seedling
For kelp farmers.
There are two periods of time that are the hardest.
During the period of hanging kelp seedlings, not only do you have to clip the kelp seedlings to the kelp rope, but you also have to go out early in the dark to grab some hanging seedlings.
The other is during the kelp harvest period. When drying it, not only do you have to rely on God to reward you, but it is also all physical work.
During the period of hanging seedlings.
There are nearly 20 people who are spinning around every day.
Several aunts who were sworn in at the beginning began to be unable to bear it on the sixth day, and their family members came to take over.
And due to the influence of cold air.
Dandan Island has cooled down a lot.
Some aunts developed frostbite on their hands due to prolonged exposure to cold kelp seedlings.
As a result, at the end of the day, the original capacity of clamping more than two thousand kelp seedlings became more than a thousand, and the efficiency dropped by half.
And these days.
Li Duoyu's hands were also swollen like steamed buns. Because he kept pulling on the kelp rope, his palms were as rough as sandpaper and cracked. Occasionally, traces of blood could be seen.
Zhou Xiaoying was so distressed that she started crying.
I stayed up late to knit him a pair of woolen gloves.
But when working in the sea, wearing this kind of wool gloves is very inconvenient. After touching the water, it is even more difficult to work. The most you can do is put it in your pocket to keep warm.
Even Lao Li and Chen Huiying, who have experienced hardships, can't help but sigh: It is too difficult to raise kelp.
It's much more troublesome than raising oysters.
No wonder Chen Atai and his colleagues failed to raise kelp using their method.
However, after these ten days.
The stone hanging in Lao Li's heart finally fell to the ground.
What worries him most is.
The fourth child, Li Duoyu, wanted to raise kelp just because he had a fever, but after observing these days, he found that the fourth child really has a talent for raising kelp, and he is very efficient in everything he does.
What farmers like them fear most is that they have worked hard for so long and spent so much money, only to see no harvest in the end.
And these days, Chen Dongqing has also transformed from a bespectacled young boy into a rough guy with a full beard.
Chen Wenchao, a native dog, had thought he would be tired, but he never thought he would be so tired, but Brother Yu persevered.
He didn't give up, gritted his teeth and persisted.
Now he sleeps on the bed every day.
Although he only made a fraction of what he made when selling goods before, he put the money he made these days into his business.
Holding it in my hand, I found it to be heavy.
I feel an indescribable sense of peace in my heart, and even my grandma has been smiling more recently.
Chen Wenchao found that he was really handsome when he was down-to-earth and making money. Recently, even the big-ass Liu Xiaolan next door started to look at him seriously.
He feels that he just needs to continue to hang out with Brother Yu.
There is always a chance to marry her.
Now his grandma's biggest wish is that he quickly find a wife and then give birth to a bunch of fat babies to make the Chen family prosperous.
On the thirteenth day of clamping and hanging seedlings.
Li Duoyu finally finished hanging 30 acres of kelp seedlings, and the aunts who originally thought the money was good money all breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were relieved.
They found that the money was too difficult to earn.
They all said that next time they ask them to pick up kelp seedlings, they will have to pay more.
At the end.
Someone also came from the Lianjiang County Fisheries Research Institute, and it was Zhang Qingyun, the section chief of my uncle Chen Dongqing.
When I came, I brought a wooden sign with big red flowers on it, with the characters "Dandan Island Kelp Breeding Experimental Base" engraved on it, and the signature of Lianjiang Fisheries Research Institute underneath.
After giving away the sign.
Zhang Qingyun took a sampan to visit the base. He was really surprised when he looked at the 30 acres of kelp farming rafts in front of him.
"Li Duoyu, you can do a good job with these thirty acres of kelp. It feels no worse than those in the northern breeding bases."
Li Duoyu grinned and said:
"If it weren't for the support of Section Chief Zhang and the research institute, as well as Comrade Dongqing's technical guidance during this period, ten of us wouldn't have been able to do it."
After hearing this, Chen Dongqing glanced at Li Duoyu and frowned slightly. When did this guy get so smart?
Obviously you did all this work yourself, but you praised everyone.
Section Chief Zhang glanced at Chen Dongqing and patted him on the shoulder: "You performed very well this time. The institute thinks highly of you."
Chen Dongqing asked in a low voice:
"Then the director has approved my application?"
Zhang Qingyun coughed twice: "We all see what you have done. Don't worry. If there is no problem, the director will come in person in about six months."
After Chen Dongqing heard this.
I immediately understood what Section Chief Zhang meant.
For people like them who engage in scientific research, results are the most important. If there is no success, everything is in vain.
Only if this project is successful can your application be approved.
Chen Dongqing couldn't help but glance at Li Duoyu.
Damn it, my great future is all tied to this good nephew's belt.
Next.
Everyone took a photo with the brand of the breeding base, and then the people from the Fisheries Research Institute planned to leave.
Before leaving.
Li Duoyu pulled Chen Dongqing aside, took out seven big unity cards, and stuffed them directly into Chen Dongqing's pocket.
After taking out the seven big unity cards.
Chen Dongqing was very angry: "Don't you look down on your uncle? I've told you a long time ago that this is my job, and I have the country to pay me wages."
Li Duoyu said in disgust:
"It's not for you, don't be so sentimental, this money is for my aunt and Xiaoya to buy new clothes."
"Get lost, it's not your turn to buy clothes for my wife and daughter, I have to spend money to buy them."
Li Duoyu squinted and smiled:
"Do you want it or not?"
Chen Dongqing gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and put the money in his pocket: "Damn, it's great to have money."
"It must be, otherwise why do we work so hard to make money."
Li Duoyu looked proud.
Afterwards, Li Duoyu followed the people from the Fisheries Research Institute to the dock and watched them leave.
At this point,
the kelp seedlings were finally over.
Back to the shed, Li Duoyu looked at the kelp culture raft, which is now like a sea pasture. The kelp seedlings sway gently with the waves, emitting a faint black light.
And after everyone evacuated.
Chen Huiying set up a table on the shore, which was filled with tributes.
This time, the whole family was there, including Zhou Xiaoying, who was pregnant.
Because she hadn't had a proper checkup for more than ten days.
Li Duoyu found that her belly had grown bigger, and now she could only wear a skirt.
Li Duoyu leaned against Zhou Xiaoying's belly and said, "Son, your dad has finally finished the kelp seedlings. When you are born, you will have kelp soup to drink."
Chen Huiying looked at him with disdain.
"Children drink breast milk, how can they drink kelp soup."
Then.
The whole family raised the incense in their hands, first worshiped the heaven and earth, and prayed for good weather.
Then, worshipped Mazu.
Pray for the safety of the whole family.
Finally, Li Duoyu lit the firecrackers, implying a prosperous future.
Hanging kelp seedlings,
Officially ended.
