Vol 3 Chapter 452: The weather is getting colder and the big ship is coming
In just a few days, the temperature on Dandan Island plummeted.
In the words of the local older generation.
This is called "falling northwest wind."
It is the coldest climate of the year.
Coupled with the high humidity on the island, winter on the island does not make people feel comfortable.
Especially in windy weather, your face can turn red in five minutes. No matter how thick your clothes are, as long as there are parts of your body exposed, you can still feel its magical attack.
As for how cold it is, it's not that cold. It's completely incomparable to the weather in the north where temperatures can easily drop to more than ten degrees below zero.
No matter how cold it is on Dandan Island, it rarely gets below zero, but here, there is no such thing as a kang. When I go to bed at night, my hands and feet are really cold, and I can't get warm.
In winter, Teacher Zhou is prone to lack of energy and blood, and his hands and feet cannot be warmed no matter how much he covers them.
When sleeping at night, put your hands directly on his belly, dig your feet into his inner thighs, and curl up like a kitten.
Xiao Tutu was fine, but even though it was so cold, he could still kick the quilt, which made Li Duoyu very speechless.
Even if I fall asleep, I have to wake up after a while to check if the little brat has kicked off the quilt again.
After covering up Teacher Zhou's heat, Li Duoyu couldn't help but wanted to do something, but when he was in a hurry, Teacher Zhou squeezed him hard.
“What are you doing?”
Li Duoyu looked aggrieved. If he didn't want to, he didn't want to. Why did he torture the person so hard?
“Two days ago, Mr. Chen from Xinyuan Aquatic Products came to the island and donated nearly 3,000 yuan.”
Li Duoyu replied: "That's right."
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
Li Duoyu looked confused: "She came to the island to discuss business and donations with me. Should she also report to you? Weren't you not interested before?"
“It’s true that I’m not interested, but what I’m more interested in is her walking alone with you.”
“This.”
Li Duoyu said truthfully: "She originally wanted to see Beilan collar and asked me to walk two steps with her, but she didn't take two steps and her shoes were not good for walking, so she stopped leaving."
Zhou Xiaoying hummed: "If we want to see Beilan Leader, wouldn't it be faster to sail there? Is it necessary to walk there?"
When his wife said this, Li Duoyu suddenly felt that it made sense. If he walked there by himself, it would take half an hour, and if he sailed there, it would not even take ten minutes.
“It was Teacher Zhou who pointed out the key information at once. Could it be that Boss Chen deliberately asked me to walk around twice?”
“Fuck.”
Li Duoyu suddenly became excited: "I am so charming. Why didn't I know that the people chasing Boss Chen can circle Yantai Mountain several times? So, am I not more powerful than those people?"
Zhou Xiaoying reached out with her right hand and twisted the root of his thigh directly towards the tenderest thigh meat.
“A gentleman should talk but not use his hands. As a teacher, why do you always like to screw people? This is also considered domestic violence.”
Zhou Xiaoying grinded her teeth and said: "Okay, I can use my mouth. It just so happens that I haven't eaten blue crabs for a long time, so I can grind my teeth with you."
“Stop, stop, I was wrong.”
Li Duoyu said on the spot: "I can swear to Mazu."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Xiaoying directly covered his mouth and said angrily: "Don't swear randomly, especially Mazu."
Li Duoyu, whose mouth was covered, whimpered, "Why, I didn't do anything bad."
“It’s okay if it doesn’t work anyway.”
Zhou Xiaoying also didn’t understand that although she was born by the sea and had prayed since childhood, she was an atheist at heart despite being educated. For her, daily prayers were more of a folk custom and spiritual sustenance.
However, since Li Duoyu changed his temper, she has become a little confused. Just like A Niang said, if you believe in this kind of thing, you will have it, but if you don't believe it, you will not.
Maybe there is guidance and blessing from somewhere, otherwise their torn-up family would not have become so good in just over two years.
Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "I'm not really angry with you. We must talk openly about husband and wife matters. Women are more likely to be jealous. If I know that you went out for a walk with Mr. Chen alone and held back and didn't ask, it will be a long time." , I definitely can’t stand it, but as long as you have a clear conscience, even if you tell me, I won’t argue with you.”
Li Duoyu opened Teacher Zhou's hand and grinned: "It's a good wife to be reasonable."
Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "I can reason with you, but you can't act recklessly. Do you know?"
“If you don’t act recklessly, how can you do it?” Li Duoyu shook his head and directly hugged Zhou Xiaoying into his arms.
"You're going to die. You're making such big moves. If you wake Tutu up, put him to sleep yourself."
Zhou Xiaoying pressed her hand against Li Duoyu: "What's happened to you recently? Why do you want it so often? I didn't even settle the accounts with you on the night of the class reunion."
"That doesn't count. I have no impression at all. There are so many witches out there tempting me, causing my body to be invaded by evil poisons. If I don't detoxify well, I'm afraid I will become possessed."
"Besides, this year is almost over. I have carefully calculated that the workload of the two of us is not up to standard. We should work hard at the end of the year. After all, high-quality communication is also the key to harmony between husband and wife."
Zhou Xiaoying was speechless. This guy could make a lot of excuses every time. Although it sounded annoying, he really liked hearing it.
Teacher Zhou sometimes discusses some relatively private issues with Shanshan. Compared with Duoyu, Shanshan's husband is a complete beast. Every time he wants to come, he doesn't care about Shanshan's life or death at all and is very rude.
The next day, when I woke up.
Li Duoyu found that the weather was nice, so he came to the courtyard wearing two thin clothes, and was immediately scolded by his mother-in-law.
“Wear so little, it’s very cold today, go back quickly and wear more.”
Li Duoyu, who had just gone out, was indeed shivering from the cold, and he could clearly see the heat coming out of his breath.
The coldest time on Dandan Island is not a rainy day, but a sunny day after the cold air comes.
Li Duoyu hurried back to the room, took a leather coat from the cabinet and put it on.
In this era, there is no such thing as down jackets. On the beach, the warmest thing is this kind of windproof leather jacket.
Not long after Li Duoyu woke up, he heard Uncle Mao's voice on the village radio.
“At the entrance of the village committee, someone is playing cotton. For only two yuan, an old quilt can be turned into a new one.”
After shouting this, Lao Mao emphasized again on the radio:
“The weather has been very cold recently. You must not burn charcoal for heating in the room, and the fire cage cannot be used. If you must burn it, the windows must be opened to allow air circulation.
I would like to emphasize once again that this is not a joke. Last year, someone almost lost his life because of this. Everyone must learn a lesson and don’t wait until something goes wrong before crying again. "
When Li Duoyu fetched well water to wash his face and twisted the towel with his hands, he felt as if he was being attacked by water, feeling cold and painful.
After wiping a cold towel on my face and exercising all night, the sleepiness caused by it disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In his second year as village director, Li Duoyu can clearly feel that the biggest difference between this year and last year is that he had to do many things in the village himself last year.
But this year is different. Many details and small matters will be handled directly by other village cadres. No matter what, they have to trouble him. But even in such a cold weather, the children still had a lot of fun. Li Haoran, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun, who had just taken winter vacation, and several children from nearby neighbors were planning a winter outing.
The children's energy seemed to be unlimited. They went to the vegetable field and dug a lot of sweet potatoes. Some brought eggs from home, some dried fish and aluminum pots, and some took shovels and fishing rods.
Li Duoyu asked: "Haoran, where are you going?"
Little Fatty scratched his head and said, "We are going to go to Beilan to see the excavators, big trucks, and big ships."
Little Tutu, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling by her mother, followed Li Haoran and shouted: "Brother, I want to go too."
“Go roast the sweet potatoes.”
Li Haoran was confused: "You are too young to walk that far. We can't take you."
“I’m going to play.”
Little Tutu was a little angry, and then ran to Li Duoyu and hugged his thigh: "Dad, take me out to play."
Li Duoyu touched it, and Tutu's little face turned red from the cold: "Okay, daddy will take you out for a walk today and bask in the sun."
Seeing that Li Duoyu wanted to take little Tutu out to play, my mother-in-law Chen Huiying hurriedly reminded her: "If you take Tutu with you, don't run too far. It's windy, so be sure to wear a hat."
“I got it, Aniang.”
Having been reminded by Li Haoran just now, Li Duoyu looked at the sea not far away. There was indeed a huge foreign ship parked in the sea outside Beilan Ling New Pier, and it had been parked for two days.
What is transported above are the four large windmills that will be installed in Beilan Territory according to the original progress.
The cargo should have been unloaded two days ago, but because they were all large items, the ship's crane had to be used to unload the cargo.
However, the wind and waves were strong in the past two days, making it difficult to operate, so we temporarily stopped and waited for the waves to subside before unloading.
In fact, at the end of this wind power project, many of the problems were solved mechanically, so the help of villagers was not needed much.
Although he did not play a big role in the later period, Li Duoyu would still go over from time to time to take a look and chat with Captain Xu and others.
The sea breeze today is obviously much lighter than the previous two days. Li Duoyu feels that it is very possible to unload the cargo today.
So, he let little Tutu ride on his shoulders and carried him directly towards Bei Lan.
Little Tutu who was "horse riding" laughed so hard that he kept shouting: "Dad, run faster."
“Faster.”
After running a certain distance, Li Duoyu was out of breath in less than five minutes. He was not as tired as playing with his mother.
It was more than half an hour's journey, and Li Duoyu arrived in ten minutes. When he arrived at the camp where the company was stationed.
I found that these young soldiers are really fierce. In such a cold weather, there are still people wearing short sleeves working.
Li Duoyu is sincerely grateful to these people. Unlike workers who are paid to work, these young people do not have any complaints when they work, but more of a task and a mission.
The villagers on the island also like them very much. Villagers often bring them cauliflower, cabbage, and radishes they grow at home.
There are also fishermen who bring some trash fish that cannot be sold at a high price, but are delicious, and bring them here to eat.
The favorite food of these soldiers is the tofu fish (dragon head fish), which is very delicious when made into soup or fried.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a rule that soldiers below the rank of sergeant are not allowed to fall in love and find a partner.
Otherwise, many young marriageable women on the island would be abducted. Recently, the male compatriots in Chenjiacun have also complained.
He said that all the girls in his village now hope to marry soldiers, and one of them had already negotiated with a matchmaker.
All it took was sending the bride price, but I don’t know why the girl went crazy. She said she wanted to marry a soldier, and then she didn’t get married.
Many **** men of marriageable age on the island really want these young men to leave as soon as possible, especially after hearing that they want to have a social party again, they have a hundred objections.
After more than a month of getting along with each other, this group of disciple soldiers became very familiar with Li Duoyu. After meeting, they immediately said hello:
“Director Li, you have so much free time today, why don’t you go out and walk your baby.”
Li Duoyu sighed: "It's not walking the baby, it's being walked by the baby."
"Hahaha."
“This project is coming to an end soon. Let’s have a sorority party for us when we have time.”
Li Duoyu said disgustedly: "You have defrauded so many people. If you do it again, I will be scolded to death by the old bachelor in the village."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing. Some soldiers couldn't help asking: "Director Li, when we retire, can we come to your Dandan Island to develop? I am from the mainland, and I like to eat you." Seafood here.”
“Welcome, warm welcome.”
“Then it’s settled, my name is Zhang Tiedan, iron of steel, egg of eggs, when the time comes, don’t forget me.”
“Okay, I’ll remember you, Tiedan.” Li Duoyu would be in a good mood every time he chatted with these young people.
After two months of overtime work, Beilan collar not only has a large pier, but also a main road that is six to seven meters wide and about two kilometers long.
From a distance, this road looks like a hanging mosquito-repellent coil, winding around to the highest point of Beilan Territory.
Possibly because they were worried that rain would turn the road into a muddy road, when the road was being built, several layers of gravel were laid on the road.
It should be prepared for the next step of pulling large and heavy objects.
In addition to the big ship, there is also a large Mitsubishi trailer parked at the dock. The rear of the trailer has been specially designed.
There are several half-moon-shaped fixtures, which should be specially designed to pull the pillars of the windmill.
I heard from Secretary Chen that this trailer for transporting large items was not from Rongcheng, but was rented from the neighboring province.
There seem to be few in the country, and the import price of this car seems to be nearly one million.
The daily rent is in units of thousands. Every time the wind blows on Dandan Island, a lot of money will be lost.
Fortunately, the wind is much lighter today, and the waves at Beilan are not that high. It is very possible to unload the cargo today.
At the new wharf, there are all kinds of leaders, including those from the Construction Bureau, the Electric Power Bureau, and experts and leaders from all walks of life.
Secretary Huang, who is in charge of this project, has often been at the new wharf recently.
When Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao go there, they are little Karami-like characters who can only be called upon. There is no need for a small village director like him to go there and join in the fun.
some days ago.
A particularly embarrassing thing happened to the leader of their county, the one in charge of fisheries.
He also wanted to come over to guide the work, but at the new dock, he ran into a group of leaders who were higher than him, and he was scolded instead. (End of chapter)
