1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 521 After the Disaster (1/2)

When Li Duoyu came to the eel factory with a flashlight, it was already slightly bright, just as he expected.

Sure enough, there was a big problem in the eel factory. Half of the top of the factory building fell off, and half of the large columns fell off.

The large iron gate and the surrounding fence were all blown down by the typhoon, and the scene was in a mess.

Seeing this scene, brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng and second brother Li Yaoguo also felt very heavy and couldn't help but sigh.

What they didn't expect was that when they saw the lights at the eel factory, Chen Wenchao arrived here earlier than them.

When Li Duoyu saw him, he found that he was soaked all over, and his pair of liberation shoes were covered with mud. He didn't know when he got here.

"Brother Yu, you are here."

After seeing them, Chen Wenchao grinned and said with a naive smile: "Brother Yu, fortunately you reminded me to wrap the equipment with a tarpaulin. The eel factory collapsed, but the equipment was not broken. I just tried it, and the diesel generator still works." It can be activated. I also looked at the eel pond and there was no landslide.”

Hearing this, Li Duoyu finally let go of his hanging heart. In fact, factory buildings and equipment are just trivial matters, and the big deal is to buy and rebuild them again.

What he is most worried about is the eels in the pond. These dozen eel ponds are worth hundreds of thousands.

Li Duoyu looked at Chen Wenchao, looked at his tired look, frowned and asked, "Xiaochao, you didn't go back last night, did you?"

Chen Wenchao shook his head like a rattle: "No, I just rushed here when the wind was light."

Li Duoyu frowned and stared at Chen Wenchao. Even though the wind force was currently at level eight or nine, it was at least level ten an hour ago.

But his intuition told Li Duoyu that this guy most likely came earlier.

"Next time, don't brave a typhoon to come to the factory. Don't you know, you are the only child in the family. If something happens to you, your grandma will come to fight with me."

Chen Wenchao scratched his head: "I know."

Li Duoyu came to the eel pond. There were all kinds of messy things floating in the pond. It may be due to the lack of oxygen after the typhoon. The eels that originally sank to the bottom also surfaced from time to time.

Half of the factory roof was blown down by the typhoon and sank into one of the eel ponds. It is not known whether the eels were killed.

Looking at the eel factory in front of him, Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a while, then said to his second brother: "Let's follow the process first, first test the water body, then sterilize and disinfect, and finally clean up the debris in the pond."

Li Yaoguo nodded:

"Okay, then I will test the water first to see if there is any problem. Later I will directly use quicklime and boil some Chinese medicinal materials for sterilization and disinfection."

After arranging the arrangements for his second brother, Li Duoyu said to Chen Wenchao:

"By the way, Xiaochao, don't feed the eels for the past two days. First, observe the eels' condition to make sure they are not sick and have no gastrointestinal problems before feeding our diesel generator. If there is no problem, you can quickly put out the oxygenated water tanker. Go back to the pond and give the eels oxygen."

Chen Wenchao said seriously: "Okay, I will reinstall the water tanker immediately."

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Wenchao who was soaked all over, frowned and said, "Now go home and soak your feet for me, and change into dry clothes before you come back to work."

"No need, Brother Yu. I can swim in the sea for a whole day. It's okay if your clothes get wet."

Before he could finish his words, Li Duoyu scolded with a dark face: "Just go back and change if I ask you to. Why are there so many things? When you catch a cold and have a fever later, where can I find someone to help me with the work?"

Seeing Brother Yu getting angry, Chen Wenchao hurriedly said: "I'll go back and change clothes right away."

"Soak your feet in hot water too."

"Okay, Brother Yu."

After arranging the work at the eel factory, Li Duoyu walked two steps to the tidal flat without even noticing.

At least thousands of moso bamboos were planted on this tidal flat. Now most of them have been uprooted by typhoons, and some have been directly interrupted by strong waves.

Now the edges of the tidal flat are densely covered with moso bamboo poles. These bamboo poles are useless and cannot be reused, but if they are re-inserted, it will be another big project.

"Alas~"

Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh and came to the pond. The dam was also covered with mud. At the same time, Li Duoyu discovered that there were several breaches in the pond.

Lao Li also woke up early. He rowed a small bamboo raft and used a bamboo pole to hook up the oyster seedlings that had been temporarily raised here. He observed them carefully and put them in front of his nose to smell them from time to time.

For an experienced farmer like him, he can tell whether oysters are good or bad just by smelling them.

Li Duoyu asked: "Dad, how are these oyster sprouts? Are you smiling?"

There are three words to smile when you hear it.

Lao Li's face suddenly dropped: "What kind of mouth are you talking about? Can you please stop talking nonsense? These oysters are very good. How can you smile?"

At this point, Lao Li suddenly ran into trouble. The bamboo piles used to hang the oysters were all destroyed, even if the oysters were not dead.

But next, how to raise it?

If thrown into the tidal flat, once covered by mud, or sunk into the mud, the oysters will die due to lack of oxygen.

But now he really has no choice but to keep the oysters in the pond.

Seeing that his father's eyebrows were almost twisted into a "chuan" shape due to his worry, Li Duoyu said, "Dad, I'll take care of the bamboo piles. You hire some people to string these oysters together in the next two days and keep them on the beach temporarily. If they are on the sandy bottom, the oysters won't die so easily. Let's try to raise these oysters again within a month."

"Oh~Okay~"

Old Li still can't react. How come the troublesome thing for him is so light and trivial in the mouth of his own son, as if it were a small matter.

Old Li couldn't help but sigh and had to admit that his child was indeed much better than him.

He worked so hard before because he was afraid of hearing the villagers say: Your child is so good at making money, you don't have to work, you can just enjoy yourself.

Li Zhengtian has always wanted to prove that he is not old and is still a useful person, but he made unnecessary efforts to raise so many blue crabs last time, which made him feel guilty for a long time.

Now he has no idea how to raise oysters again, but Duoyu solved the problem with just two or three words.

This made Lao Li realize one thing: the gap between him and his son is very big. He should not always think that just because he is his father and has eaten more meals than his son, he knows more than him.

Old Li sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Just at this time, Shitou came jogging all the way, and when he saw Li Duoyu, he waved and greeted him: "Brother Yu, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Li Duoyu looked at him with disgust: "How can you be so thick-skinned, running to Shanshan's house before dawn, aren't you afraid that Wang Po will chase you away?"

Shitou was so embarrassed that his hands and feet were a little uncomfortable: "Brother Yu, you saw it all."

"Shanshan lives next door to my house, how could I not see her? I don't even need to see it, I can smell a sour smell from a distance."

Shitou laughed: "Brother Yu, I tell you that Sister Shanshan doesn't seem to reject me so much this time, and she knows how to worry about me."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was overwhelmed: "Stop, don't tell me this, I'm so busy now."

Li Duoyu even began to suspect that this guy came to work for him just to consult him about emotional problems. Li Duoyu looked at the bamboos all over the beach and frowned as he thought. Dazhu Village should have been hit by this typhoon, and a lot of bamboos would probably fall down.

Now everyone is very busy and has things on their hands. Li Duoyu glanced at Shitou and asked, "You should know Brother Ou from Dazhu Village."

Shitou nodded and said, "I know him. He lived on our island for a few months two years ago. We drank together several times. I know his daughter is called Liushui."

Liushui?

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched, guessing that Shitou didn't know how to pronounce the word Miaomiao at all.

"Okay, then I'll arrange something for you. You go to Dazhu Village to find him today and ask Brother Ou to transport a few more boats of bamboo to the island within the next two days. By the way, there may be landslides on the roads in their village, so you have to be prepared to walk into the village."

"Okay, I'll go to Dazhu Village to find Brother Ou right away and ask him for bamboo." After Shitou finished speaking, he still couldn't help asking, "Brother Yu, do you think I have a chance now?"

Li Duoyu couldn't help scolding, "You have a chance. If you take another step at this time, it will give Shanshan a feeling of taking advantage of someone's misfortune. I've told you that the most important thing when facing a hurt woman is to be calm and not always think about getting everything done in one go. If you really love her, she will be able to see it after a long time. Besides, they haven't divorced yet, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Shitou also felt that what Li Duoyu said made sense: "Sure enough, I still have to ask Brother Yu about this kind of thing."

"Don't, don't ask me about this kind of thing next time."

As the day dawned, Li Duoyu found that the kelp field was also crooked, and it was estimated that many kelp piles had been pulled up.

Seeing this scene.

Li Duoyu suddenly felt a little tired. This was the worst after a typhoon. When he thought that there might be another typhoon passing through them this year, he suddenly felt that he had no motivation to farm. Even he couldn't help but curse:

"Damn it, damn typhoon."

Li Duoyu looked to the north of Dandan Island. Fortunately, the four windmills were stable and withstood the test of this typhoon.

Otherwise, Dandan Island would have suffered a great loss this time, and the big leaders would probably look unhappy.

The worst this time was not Dandan Island, but Shangqi Village. Many houses collapsed, and several villagers were crushed by the wall. At dawn, they were sent to the town health center for rescue.

In addition to the collapsed houses, the beach was full of broken kelp.

Kelp, seaweed, kelp ropes, dead fish, and all kinds of marine garbage were rolled together. The whole beach was a mess, just like a garbage dump.

The kelp was broken or rotten, and the surface was worn out. There was sticky liquid everywhere, and some even began to stink and rot.

Those farmers who failed to collect the kelp in time sat down on the beach looking at the kelp on the beach.

Not only did they work in vain this year, but they also owed a lot of money to the credit union. Now they regret why they listened to their village party secretary instead of Li Duoyu from Dandan Island.

Several kelp farmers who lost everything this time suddenly complained about their village party secretary.

"How can you lead everyone to get rich? I think you are leading everyone to get rich and lose money, which is more like it."

"If you want to engage in aquaculture in the future, you still have to listen to that Li Duoyu, not our village party secretary."

A farmer cried and complained: "There are so many villages raising kelp, but we are the only one who didn't rush to harvest the kelp. Whose fault is this?"

Tang Wenchang kept his head down the whole time, his face was very dark, and he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He didn't sleep at all in the past two days.

He prayed that the typhoon would not come back, but who would have thought that this typhoon could still play like this and suddenly kill you back.

It was like God was deliberately joking with you. Seeing these farmers scolding him, he could only grit his teeth.

"It's not just you who lost money. I also lost a lot. Don't talk about those useful and useless things. Hurry up and pick up the kelp on the beach. Any compensation is enough."

It would be better if he didn't speak. Once he spoke, these farmers came to him to complain and blamed all the mistakes on him.

When the typhoon came this time, Langqi Island was not much better. Many houses collapsed and some people were injured in this typhoon.

Two elderly people were hit by the collapsed beams while sleeping. When they were found, they were gone.

The only thing to be thankful for is that after listening to Li Duoyu's words, the kelp was collected in advance, which greatly reduced the losses caused by this typhoon.

Since Shangfeng Town had done typhoon prevention and disaster reduction work in advance, the casualties of this typhoon landing were not very large, but this typhoon was stronger than in previous years and had great destructive power, resulting in a very large area of ​​disaster.

The fishing villages near the sea were in a mess, and those not near the sea were not much better, on the contrary, they were even more serious. The farmland and vegetable fields were almost completely destroyed and are now soaked in water.

Dongguo Village grows watermelons, which were supposed to mature in mid-June, but now they are all destroyed. Many melon farmers have wasted their efforts for a whole year.

As for the villages near the mountains, there were also serious landslides, and the specific casualties are still unknown.

And the worst thing is that the whole county is currently out of power, and there is no way to contact the villages by phone. The staff of the town committee can only be separated and run from village to village to understand the post-disaster situation.

Not only Shangfeng Town, but also the neighboring Nanri Town was in a mess. They farmed a lot of oysters.

After the typhoon, the entire Nanri Town beach was covered with layers of oysters. Some oysters had opened and smelled rotten.

Some oysters were still good. On the beach, countless fishermen were grabbing those oysters that were still alive with baskets and snakeskin bags.

Because no one could guarantee who these oysters belonged to, it could only be said that whoever grabbed them would own them.

The scene was very chaotic.

Some people directly took a shovel and put all the oysters into the basket without caring whether they were good or bad. Anyway, grabbing them was considered profitable.

There were even many villagers who fought on the spot because of grabbing oysters, and even hit each other with oysters.

Liu Yun was also here on the beach, staring at the chaotic scene in front of him. If Li Duoyu was there, would this kind of looting not happen?

After Li Duoyu saw the eel factory and oyster fields, he directly asked the tractor driver to tow his fishing boat into the sea first.

The waves are still very big now, and ordinary sampans are definitely unable to go out to sea. Fortunately, his fishing boat is specially designed.

Originally able to adapt to strong winds and waves, while the water level is still relatively high, Li Duoyu took his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng to Qixing Bay.

When approaching Qixing Bay.

Looking from a distance, you can see that there is no problem with the outer wall of the shrimp farm, and the roof of the factory building is all there.

Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu finally felt relieved, the shrimp farm withstood.

After the two parked the fishing boat on the beach, they went directly to the shrimp farm in the water, just as expected.

The outer bamboo fences all fell to the ground, and the outermost iron gate was blown away, and it was even unknown where it went, and it might be in the shrimp pond.

Fortunately, the shrimp farm was not affected, but the big lock was gone, and it was locked from the inside, so it couldn't be pushed open at all.

Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu and Zhang Mingsheng frowned and suddenly became a little nervous.

The two picked up two large steel bars left over from the construction of the house nearby, and then sneaked in through the side door. (End of this chapter)
