246. Chapter 245 The Old Lady May Not Be Able to Survive

Chapter 245 The old lady may die

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-January. Under the advice of Li Duoyu and other village cadres, no one in the village suffered from charcoal poisoning again.

At this time, there were more than 90,000 eel fry in Li Duoyu's eel factory, and all the indoor breeding ponds were filled with eel fry.

If this was done in the previous life, at the cheapest price of ten yuan per tail, it would have cost nearly 900,000 yuan.

Nowadays, the second brother Li Yaoguo is as tired as a dog. There are too many eel fry. It takes him a lot of time just to go through the process every day.

And during this period.

In the first stage of eel farming, the desalination of eel fry has been completed. The earliest batch of eel fry have begun to change color. From the transparent color at the beginning, black lines are now slowly growing.

Next, it is time to enter the second stage.

Heating opening.

Eel fry are very picky about their environment.

If the water quality is not good, I will die for you.

The temperature was not enough, so I was too lazy to move, and would rather starve to death than speak.

Li Duoyu adopted the simplest and crudest method of heating up the food, which was to use the two drying rooms used to dry oysters and directly burn wood for heating.

Burning firewood non-stop for twenty hours a day can probably raise the temperature of the entire factory by five degrees. In this way, the temperature in the breeding pond has just reached the minimum for the eel fry to open.

The only bad thing is that the firewood is a bit useless. On average, nearly five yuan of firewood is burned a day.

But how could a person like him, who knew how to live well, waste five yuan every day?

One of the baking rooms is specially used to bake quilts, clothes, pillows, etc., and the other baking room is rented to fishermen in the village who need to dry fish.

The chubby Li Haoran also felt that the temperature was relatively high here, so he asked his mother to move a table to do homework here.

The second brother wished he could live directly in the factory building where he only had to wear one piece of clothing.

After the temperature rises.

Li Duoyu also started preparing to feed the first batch of eel fry with red worms.

The red worms themselves contain a large number of bacteria and parasites. When fished out from the smelly ditch, they cannot be fed only to the eels.

Otherwise, once there are bacteria and parasites, the infection will be widespread.

Generally, they need to be raised in clean water for a period of time, and then soaked in clean sea water for an hour before feeding.

Clean them several times to kill the bacteria and parasites in the red worms before feeding them to eel fry.

And when cleaning red worms.

Li Duoyu directly put his hand into the dense red worms and started stirring.

This scene made the second sister-in-law who was responsible for feeding the eel fry feel numb when she saw it: "There are many fish, do you have to wash the red worms by hand?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment.

"No, I'm just used to it and I think it's more convenient. If you feel sick, you can stir it with a stick."

The second sister-in-law patted her chest: "It's okay, I was scared to death. If I put my hand in, I feel like I won't have to eat for a month."

When Li Duoyu said that, Li Yaoguo on the side felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, even if the fourth child had experience, he should not have done it many times.

How do you get used to using your hands?

Chen Wenchao, on the other hand, was not so thoughtful and took notes with a pen and notebook, but he had not graduated from elementary school.

I can't even write big characters.

I could only draw a pattern there, a group of small insects, and a hand that wrote the number three.

Li Duoyu glanced back.

I guess no one else can understand it except himself.

"The literacy class starts next week. You and Qingguang sign up together. Do you know? Otherwise, if I take you out to discuss business in the future, I won't even be able to understand the contract."

Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly and said: "I will definitely participate and study hard."

When feeding eels for the first time, it is usually between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, and a food table must be placed to allow the eel fry to develop the habit of eating at a fixed point.

After the evening.

Li Duoyu turned on the incandescent lamp hanging on the breeding pond. As the incandescent lamps lit up one by one, all the eel fry gathered under the lamp and paraded.

Immediately afterwards.

Li Duoyu lightly sprinkled the red worms onto the food table. After the red worms, which had some energy but not much energy, entered the water, they struggled and twisted their bodies.

When the eel fry, which had not eaten for more than half a month, smelled the scent of red worms, their biological instincts engraved in their genes suddenly exploded.

While feeding, Li Duoyu said: "For the first time, don't feed too much, just about 30% of the weight of the whole pond of eels." Chen Wenchao recorded it again with abstract pictures, and in this At that moment, the third uncle ran over in a hurry.

"Duoyu, Yaoguo, you are both here."

Li Duoyu glanced at his third uncle, whose face was not very good, and asked quickly: "Third uncle, are you so anxious? What happened?"

The third uncle hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Your grandma is probably not going to survive. Do you brothers want to go over and take a look?"

After hearing this.

The two brothers' hearts suddenly tightened and they looked at each other.

Li Duoyu frowned. In fact, he had already been mentally prepared. He had not seen the old lady since she fell last time, and the third aunt rarely went out.

Li Duoyu already knew that there was not much time left for the old lady, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

When brother Li Duoyu came to his third uncle's house.

Many relatives are here, including the uncle's family, the second uncle, the third uncle, and even the aunt and uncle who live out of town, and they have all been called back.

Father stood aside smoking a cigarette, looking unhappy. When he saw the two brothers, he said calmly: "Go into the room, your grandma just called your name."

Li Duoyu nodded.

Afterwards, he went into the room with his second brother Li Yaoguo. Under the dim light, a long-burning lamp was lit.

The aunt who married to another place sat beside the bed, her eyes were red, and she kept calling: "Mother, I am Hongyu."

But the old lady covered with a heavy quilt on the bed did not respond. She was as thin as skin and bones. The pupils of her eyes looked a little scattered and lifeless, staring at the mosquito net on the top of the bed.

The breathing was very rapid.

She could no longer eat on her own, and could only use a spoon to get some water to moisten her lips.

This scene of a dying person was not the first time Li Duoyu had seen it.

People are about to die.

It is not so important who is right or wrong.

In fact, when the old lady gave the longevity lock to the brothers, Li Duoyu had already forgiven her.

He half-knelt beside the bed, held the old lady's skinny hand, and said softly: "Grandma, I'm Duoyu."

After hearing the voice.

The old lady seemed to have returned to her soul. She used all her strength to turn her head towards Li Duoyu and said in a weak voice: "My dear grandson, you are finally willing to come to see me."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu's eyes reddened. He had seen many people leave in his two lives and thought he had already gotten used to and accepted it.

But he didn't expect that when facing the separation of life and death, he still felt an indescribable sadness.

"Well, Yaoguo and I came to see you."

"Yaoguo is here too. You two brothers are really good. Did you receive the safety lock I gave you brothers?"

When the old lady said this, Li Duoyu's ear was almost close to her mouth.

"Grandma, I received it."

"I'm glad you received it. Grandma has always missed you."

The old lady's breathing became rapid again, her eyes were blurred again, and her hands were grabbing in the air, as if she had hallucinations.

After the old lady grabbed for a while, she calmed down again. She seemed to be in a much better state than before.

But she kept mumbling: "Xiaowu, where are you, Xiaowu."

Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. The old lady seemed to be trapped in the day when Uncle Wu left.

And at this moment.

Li Duoyu found that A Niang, who had vowed to never have anything to do with the old lady, came to Uncle San's house for the first time.

Zhou Xiaoying also followed A Niang with Xiao Tutu in her arms.

The relatives of the Li family were a little surprised when they saw Chen Huiying. No one expected that she would be willing to come to see the old lady for the last time.

But what everyone didn't expect was.

As soon as Chen Huiying entered the room, she heard the old lady calling Uncle Wu's name.

Chen Huiying's face was a little ugly for a moment, but after glancing at the old lady who was so thin that only a piece of skin was left, she chose to stay and didn't turn around and leave.
