Chapter 418 Summoning a Village Meeting

 The day after the meeting.

Li Duoyu did not continue to stay in Rongcheng, but hurried back to Dandan Island.

 In the past, Li Duoyu didn't understand the benefits of getting close to the organization.

 After this meeting, I finally understood.

It turns out that by following the organization, I can really eat nine meals in three days.

When Li Duoyu returned home, Chen Huiying was about to give him hot food, but she didn't even sit down on her buttocks yet, so she immediately said:

 “Aniang, I’m going to the village committee.”

“When you come back at this hour, you must not have eaten yet. I will heat some food for you first.”

 “I’ll come back to eat later.”

Chen Huiying frowned: "Eat some food first, don't ruin your stomach."

Li Duoyu said hehey: "The matter at hand is urgent."

As for Zhang Acai, a villager on the other side, his daughter-in-law Zhang Cuihua was the one who borrowed money to invest in abalone, but when things got into trouble, she almost committed suicide by taking poison.

Zhang Cuihua has always blamed herself for the failure of the investment, because it really affected her children. Now it is difficult for her children to find partners in the village.

"okay."

“Accountant Li, after our project is over, if we still need people at Weitang, we want to go there to help.”

 Once he knew that he was receiving money, he probably wouldn't trust him so much.

Seeing Zhang Azai put the money into his hand, Li Yaoguo frowned: "Uncle Cai, why did you miss a big unity card?"

Until now, except for the old houses, there is nothing left in the house.

 And a new settlement method has been adopted.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the eel factory, he found that his second brother had set up a table outside, and more than 20 villagers were queuing up to receive wages.

 “Okay, then I’ll give it a try.”

After Ah Cai finished signing, Zhang Ah Cai took the money, but only 13.2 yuan. He secretly thrust one of the big unity cards into Li Yaoguo's hand.

 In the past, Li Duoyu calculated money based on one ridge of land, but this time the second brother directly calculated it to the "square", and he was paid 20 cents for digging a square of soil.

 After two months, the couple alone earned more than 200 yuan, and the whole family together had nearly 500 yuan.

 Because his eel factory is the only one on the island with electricity, and not only the broadcasting equipment in the village is placed here.

The middle-aged man named Ah Cai by Zhang didn’t even do the math and said directly: “Accountant Li, that’s right, that’s the number.”

These workers were all invited to help dig the earth pond. This time, the second brother took the lead in the entire process of digging the earth pond.

You can watch TV at the eel factory, and you can get money if you help drive away birds at the pond.

 It’s not that Li Yaoguo looks down on this great unity, it’s just that he knows very well that his brother Li Duoyu is a person who values ​​principles very much.

Cousin Li Shuguang even moved the black and white TV here. During prime time when TV dramas are broadcast, the Eel Factory is even more lively than the square. It’s like watching a movie. It’s full of people.

　　I turned over in an instant.

“If it’s correct, just sign and I will give you this week’s money directly.”

"No matter how urgent things are, you have to eat seriously. You have lost a lot of weight recently. Don't take your body seriously. You will regret it when you get older."

"knew."

Li Yaoguo sighed and said: "This is not something I can decide. If you want to go there to help, just ask my brother or my brother-in-law directly. There is no need to go to such trouble."

They and his wife were responsible for digging the eel pond, and his three children went to build the embankment around the pond.

“I’ll stew some lotus seeds and pork belly for you. Remember to come back to eat it tonight, do you know?”

 “Mom, I’m leaving.”

 Tuesday 19 square meters.

 In six days, a total of 116 cubic meters were dug. The total wages for this week were 23.2 yuan. Please check and see if I am wrong. "

 Monday 25 square meters.

Zhang Ahcai was embarrassed for a moment, but the villager behind him laughed and said: "I forgot to take the money. Do you think it's too much money? If you don't want it, just give it to me."

Li Yaoguo opened the accounting book and said, "Zhang Acai and Zhang Cuihua, you two have been working for six days this week.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the dog-raising "stinky foot", their family would probably be the poorest in the village.

Besides, if he wanted to collect money, he would have been given a soft hand long ago. Ever since Li Duoyu's eels were sold at a good price, he didn't know how many people came to see him.

This family, after a year of hard work, finally paid back all the money they borrowed.

　Now Li Duoyu’s eel factory and the newly built pond have become the favorite places for local children to check in.

 Fortunately, in the past two months, their whole family of five people have all been working for Li Duoyu.

 After hearing this.

Li Duoyu brought the materials for the meeting in Rongcheng and came to the eel factory.

  In the past it was the day's end,

 Now it has been changed to one knot per week.

 Zhang Azai said softly: "Is it too little? Then I will give you two."

 For an ordinary family, five hundred yuan is already a huge sum of money and can buy a lot of things.

This money is indeed very easy to earn, but it is really tiring. When I get home every day, as a family of five, I often don’t even want to take a shower, and just lie on the bed and sleep.

 At first, they almost couldn't hold on, but this job was very popular.

 It was only because of Chen Wenchao's introduction that the family of five managed to get a living meal.

 If you don’t do it,

 There were a lot of villagers vying for the job.

Zhang Ahcai still remembers that when Li Yaoguo announced on the radio that he wanted to recruit workers to dig eel ponds, hundreds of people came to sign up.

I don’t know who tipped off the news. Even people from Chenjia Village came over to try to steal work.

At present, 80% of the people who help Li Duoyu dig eel ponds and build embankments on the tidal flat are villagers from the waist and end of the village.

Most of these villagers did not have fishing boats before Li Duoyu became the village director.

If they want to make money, the men will go to the dock to do odd jobs for the boat boss, carry goods, and help pull the nets for fishing, while the women will go to mend the nets, kill fish, and collect fish from the sea.

At that time, their wages were pitiful. Sometimes they might not earn even one dollar after working hard at the dock for a whole day.

 The worst thing is that there is not always work to do every day. When the fish situation or the weather is bad, the whole family can only drink "northwest wind", and food and clothing are a problem.

 But since Li Duoyu became the village director, everyone can obviously notice that he takes special care of the people in the middle and the end of the village.

 If there is often enough work, priority will be given to villagers who do not have fishing boats.

They also thank Li Duoyu from the bottom of their hearts and respect him very much. Without him, they would probably have always been the poorest people on Dandan Island.

It was also because of him that the people in Banyao and Cunwei had a chance to stand up.

But they also know very well that if they really want to turn around on Dandan Island, there are only two ways to go.

 Either go out to sea to fish,

 Either engage in breeding.

 When you go out to sea to fish, you need not only a boat, but also a fishing net. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult to catch fish in coastal waters, including those oar fishing boats without diesel engines.

There is very little fishing now, and everyone is engaged in kelp farming. If they use the money they earn to buy a small sampan, they may not be able to work for others safely.

 As for breeding.

That is definitely something only wealthy people dare to try. After all, the cost of breeding is there. Even the cheapest kelp costs less than two to three thousand yuan, which is simply unaffordable.

 And the risk is quite high. According to the experience of previous years, there have been no typhoons throughout this year, but the probability of a typhoon next year is still quite high.

Zhang Azai knew that everyone was actually "gambling". Unfortunately, his family had already lost a bet once and did not dare to "gamble" again.

Just when they got the money and were about to go home, they happened to meet Li Duoyu who had just arrived at the eel factory. After seeing Li Duoyu, these villagers all greeted him enthusiastically.

Now he is like the God of Wealth to these villagers. Just when Zhang Acai was about to ask, a villager named Zhu Fugui jumped in first.

“Director Li, are you still recruiting people for your embankment?”

Zhang Ah Cai really wants to curse at this moment, but it seems that he will have to be thicker-skinned in the future.

 Li Duoyu thought for a while.

“There are already enough people over there, so we won’t be recruiting any more for the time being.”

 “That’s it.”

 After hearing this, Zhang Ahcai should have been disappointed, but he didn’t know why, but he felt a little secretly happy.

  It can be used in the next second.

 Zhang Acai was a little unhappy again. This Zhu Fugui was very good at talking: "Director Li, if there is a shortage of people, please leave a place for me. I am very good at work."

"Grass."

Zhang Ahcai couldn't help but want to curse, but fortunately Li Duoyu said: "That one is coming to an end, and we shouldn't be recruiting any more people in a short period of time."

Because the green crab seedling season has passed, it is no longer easy to catch them. There are currently five ponds covering more than 100 acres, which is enough for him to raise.

Li Duoyu plans to take a look at the breeding situation before deciding whether to continue expansion.

“Director Li, is the end of the embankment also coming to an end?” Zhang Ahcai asked nervously.

 Because his three children were working on the embankment.

If it ends over there, wouldn’t it mean that their whole family will have no work to do?

At the current rate of making money, Zhang Ahcai plans to work at it for half a year, and his family will be able to save 2,000 yuan.

 At that time, we will decide whether to buy a boat or engage in breeding.

 Hand over immediately.

 But before they even started digging, their family was about to run out of work.

 Next, maybe I will have to continue working at the dock, and my income will be cut in half again and again.

Li Duoyu has a deep impression on this family, especially Zhang Cuihua, who almost committed suicide by drinking pesticide last year.

They haven’t seen each other for a few months, and the couple looks dark and thin. It seems that they have really worked hard in the past two months.

“It’s about to end, but don’t be anxious. Go home and rest for two days. Maybe there will be better ways to make money.”

"Really?"

 “Have a good rest and wait for the good news.”

 Li Duoyu briefly glanced at the eel factory.

 After two months of continuous manual excavation, seven new earth ponds have been added here, and the maximum breeding scale is expected to reach 200,000 eels.

Li Duoyu patted the microphone and after confirming that there was sound, he cleared his throat and said:

 “Ahem.”

“Notice from the village committee, I am the village director Li Duoyu. I have something important to inform you. Please invite the village committee cadres who have heard the news, including Party Secretary Wang, team leader, and Wang Xianghong who is in charge of electricity.

Invite the above people to go to the village committee meeting room for a meeting in an hour. "

 “Notify again.”

 “Finally, let me know.”

Since the village went out of power, this small speaker has rarely sounded. Li Duoyu rarely broadcasts announcements in person. Under normal circumstances, Uncle Mao makes the announcement.

The villagers could clearly feel that there must be something big going on, otherwise they wouldn’t even call the team leader over.

 Someone said from the other side of the pier.

“What happened when we called so many people to a meeting?”

Lao Lu, who had just returned from fishing, said: "Even Wang Xianghong, who is in charge of the diesel generator, was called in. Nine times out of ten it is related to electricity."

 “It’s time to buy a new generator.”

“To be honest, I’ve been used to being without electricity for the past six months. It doesn’t matter to me whether I have electricity or not.”

 Lao Lu said: "It's better to have electricity, otherwise I won't know how to spend the money I make. I've wanted to buy a color TV for a long time."

“That’s because you have money, but we don’t have money. We can’t even afford a three-purpose machine.”

After finishing the broadcast, Li Duoyu saw his second brother who was still handing out money: "Brother, after you finish your work, come to the village committee together."

 Li Yaoguo also heard the broadcast just now. It must be something very important, otherwise Duoyu wouldn't have called so many people at once.

 “I’ll go there immediately after I finish my work.”

after an hour.

The wooden table in the village committee meeting room was crowded with people. Xiasha Village has a large population. There are fifteen teams in total, and the team leader alone has fifteen people.

 Although the production brigade was disbanded.

 But the squad leaders have remained, and their duties have hardly changed, which is to unite the team members and complete the tasks assigned by the village committee.

 Many of them are acquaintances.

For example, the captain of the seventh team is his father Li Zhengtian, the captain of the first team is Lao Lu, and the third team is Uncle. Since he is still fishing for squid on Dongshan Island, Li Shuguang participates on his behalf.

 Coupled with the village committee cadres, Wang Xianghong, Li Yaoguo and others, there were almost twenty people in the conference room.

Wang Dapao also came with a cane. Although his hands and feet were inconvenient, he was much better than when he first got sick. He could walk on his own and spoke more fluently.

However, he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. This disease is a neurological problem and is irreversible.

 At present, he can only rely on medicine for simple treatment. Since his daughters and son-in-law are unwilling to pay, Wang Jinshan has to pay for the medicine now.

 After seeing that everyone has arrived.

 “Everyone, be quiet.”

 “Get ready for the meeting.”

Li Duoyu said relatively seriously: "Today's meeting will be chaired by me and Party Secretary Wang."

“First of all, let me tell you the good news, that is, our island may have electricity next, because a large wind power test project has landed on our island.”

 Wind power generation test?

Most of the people present were confused. Only Wang Xianghong asked in surprise: "Is it the same wind turbine as the one in Haidao County next door?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said: "That's right."

“Holy shit, shit, shit. This is awesome, our Dandan Island is about to take off.”

Wang Xianghong was so excited that she couldn't control her emotions.

Zhang Erhu on the side looked at the excited Wang Xianghong and asked: "Duoyu, is this project big?"

Li Duoyu stretched out his hand and said, "I don't know exactly how big it is, but at least it's this number."

 “Fifty thousand?”

 Li Duoyu shook his head.

 Zhang Erhu said in surprise: "That's five hundred thousand."

Li Duoyu continued to shake his head: "This is a national-level project, with a minimum base of five million. After the wind turbine is built, there will be enough money to lay submarine cables on our island."

 After hearing this number, the conference room was very quiet.

 For many villagers present, a big solidarity ticket is already a lot of money, and a household worth 10,000 yuan is already their goal.

When Li Duoyu said more than five million, their heads were empty and they really had no idea.
