Chapter 418 Summoning a Village Meeting (1/2)
Chapter 418 Summoning a village meeting
On the day after the meeting.
Li Duoyu did not stay in Rongcheng any longer, but hurried back to Dandan Island.
In the past, Li Duoyu did not understand what the benefits of being close to the organization were.
After this meeting, he finally understood.
It turns out that following the organization can really make you eat nine meals in three days.
When Li Duoyu returned home, Chen Huiying was about to heat up some food for him, but before she even sat down, she immediately said:
"Mother, I'm going to the village committee."
"You must not have eaten yet at this time. I'll heat up some food for you first."
"I'll come back to eat later."
Chen Huiying frowned: "Eat something first, don't upset your stomach."
Li Duoyu said with a smile: "I have a more urgent matter at hand."
And Zhang Acai is a villager on the Banyao side. His wife Zhang Cuihua was the one who borrowed money to invest in abalone and almost committed suicide by taking poison.
Zhang Cuihua has always blamed herself for the failed investment, because it really dragged down the children. Now it is difficult for the children in his family to find a partner in the village.
"Okay."
"Accountant Li, after our project is over, do you need anyone in Weitang? We want to go there to help."
Once he knew that he had received money, he probably wouldn't trust him so much.
Seeing Zhang Acai stuffing the money into his hand, Li Yaoguo frowned: "Uncle Cai, why did you take one less big unity."
Since the reform and opening up, the family has nothing except those old houses.
And changed to a new settlement method.
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 their wages.
"Okay, then I'll try it."
After Acai signed, Zhang Acai took the money, but only took 13.2 yuan. He secretly stuffed one of the big unity into Li Yaoguo's hand.
In the past, Li Duoyu was paid by the ridge of land, but this time, his second brother was paid exactly by the square meter. He paid two cents for each square meter of soil he dug.
After two months, he and his wife earned more than 200 yuan, and the whole family earned nearly 500 yuan.
Because his eel factory is the only one on the island that has electricity, not only the village's radio equipment is placed here.
The middle-aged man named Acai didn't even count, and said directly: "Accountant Li, that's right, that's the number."
These workers were invited to help dig the earth pond, and this time the digging of the earth pond was led by the second brother.
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 doesn't like this great unity, but he knows very well that his brother Li Duoyu is a principled person.
The eldest cousin Li Shuguang even moved the black and white TV here. During the prime time of the TV series, the eel factory is more lively than the square, just like watching a play, and it is full of people.
He turned over in an instant.
"If it's correct, you sign and I'll give you this week's wages directly."
"No matter how urgent the matter is, you have to eat seriously. You have lost a lot of weight recently. Don't take your health lightly, you know, you will regret it when you get old."
"I know."
Li Yaoguo sighed and said, "This is not something I can decide. If you want to help there, just ask my brother or my brother-in-law, you don't have to be so troublesome."
He 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 in the evening, okay?"
"Mom, I'm leaving."
19 cubic meters on Tuesday.
In total, 116 cubic meters were dug in six days. The total wages for this week are 23.2 yuan. Check it out and see if it's correct. "
25 cubic meters on Monday.
Zhang Acai was embarrassed, and the villagers behind him laughed and said, "You even forgot to take the money. Do you think it's too much? If you don't want it, just give it to me. "
Li Yaoguo opened the account book and said, "Zhang Acai, Zhang Cuihua, you two worked for a total of six days this week.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the dog-raising "stinky feet", their family would probably be the poorest in the village now.
Besides, if he wanted to collect money, he would have been very busy. Since Li Duoyu's eels sold at a good price, he didn't know how many people came to him.
After a year of hard work, this family finally paid off all the borrowed money.
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 entire family of five people have all worked for Li Duoyu.
After hearing this.
Li Duoyu brought the materials for the meeting in Rongcheng and came to the eel factory.
It used to be paid daily,
but now it has been changed to weekly.
Zhang Acai said softly, "Is it too little? I'll give you two."
For an ordinary family, five hundred yuan is a huge sum of money, which can buy a lot of things.
This money is indeed easy to make, but it is really tiring. Every day when they get home, the family of five often don't even want to take a shower, and just lie down on the bed and sleep.
At the beginning, they almost couldn't hold on, but this job is very popular.
It was because of Chen Wenchao's introduction that the family of five got the job.
If you don't do it,
there are a lot of villagers scrambling to do it.
Zhang Acai still remembers that when Li Yaoguo broadcast that he wanted to recruit workers to dig eel ponds, there were hundreds of people who signed up.
It is unknown who tipped off the matter, but even the people from Chenjia Village came over to grab the job.
At present, 80% of the people who help Li Duoyu dig eel ponds and build embankments on the beach are villagers from Banyao and the end of the village.
Most of these villagers did not have fishing boats before Li Duoyu became the village director.
If they wanted to make money, the men would go to the dock to do odd jobs for the boat boss, carry goods, help pull nets to catch fish, and the women would go to mend nets, kill fish, and collect small sea breams.
At that time, their wages were pitifully low, and sometimes they might not earn a dollar after working hard at the dock all day.
The worst thing is that there may not be work every day. When the fish or weather is bad, the whole family can only eat "northwest wind", and food and clothing are a problem.
But since Li Duoyu became the village director, everyone can clearly see that he takes special care of the people in Banyao and the end of the village.
If there is often work, it will be given priority to those villagers who do not have fishing boats.
And they all thanked Li Duoyu from the bottom of their hearts and respected him very much. If it weren't for him, they would probably have always been the poorest group of people on Dandan Island.
It was also because of him that the people in Banyao and the end of the village had a chance to turn things around.
But they also knew that if they really wanted to turn things around on Dandan Island, there were only two ways to go.
Either go fishing at sea
or do aquaculture.
To go fishing at sea, not only do you need a boat, but you also need a fishing net. Now it is becoming more and more difficult to catch fish near the coast, and those rowing fishing boats without diesel engines.
There is very little fishing at present, and everyone is doing kelp aquaculture. If they use the money they earn to buy a small sampan, it may not be as safe as working for others.
As for aquaculture.
That is definitely something that only rich people dare to try. After all, the cost of aquaculture is there. Even the cheapest kelp cannot be done without two or three thousand yuan.
And the risk is also quite high. According to past experience, there was no typhoon this year, and the probability of a typhoon next year is still quite high.
Zhang Acai knew that everyone was actually "gambling", but unfortunately, his family had already lost once and didn't 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. When these villagers saw Li Duoyu, they all greeted him enthusiastically.
Now he was like the God of Wealth of these villagers. Zhang Acai was about to ask, but he was beaten to it by a villager named Zhu Fugui.
"Director Li, are you still hiring for that dike?"
Zhang Acai really wanted to curse at this moment. It seems that he still needs to be thick-skinned in the future.
Li Duoyu thought for a while.
"There are enough people over there, and they shouldn't recruit any more for the time being."
"Is that so."
After hearing this, Zhang Acai should have been disappointed, but for some reason, he was a little happy.
But the next second.
Zhang Acai was a little unhappy again. Zhu Fugui was very good at talking: "Director Li, if you are short of people, please leave a position for me. I am very good at working."
"Fuck."
Zhang Acai couldn't help but want to curse, but fortunately Li Duoyu said: "That is also coming to an end. In the short term, we should not recruit more people."
Because the season of blue crab seedlings has passed, it is not so easy to catch them now. At present, there are five ponds, more than 100 acres, which is enough for him to raise them.
Li Duoyu plans to see the breeding situation and decide whether to continue to expand.
"Director Li, is the dike going to end too?" Zhang Acai asked nervously.
Because his three children work on the dike.
If that is also over, then wouldn't it mean that their whole family will have no work to do.
According to the current rate of making money, Zhang Acai plans to work there for half a year, and his family will be able to save 2,000 yuan.
At that time, they will decide whether to buy a boat or do breeding.
Directly turn over.
But they haven't even started to turn over yet, and their family will soon have no work to do.
Next, maybe, I can only continue to work at the docks, and my income is simply cut in half again.
Li Duoyu still has a deep impression of this family, especially Zhang Cuihua, who almost committed suicide by drinking pesticides last year.
After not seeing them for a few months, the couple looked dark and thin, and it seemed that they must have worked really hard in the past two months.
"It's the end, but don't worry, go home and rest for two days, maybe there will be a better way to make money."
"Really?"
"Take a good rest and wait for good news."
Li Duoyu took a quick look at the eel factory.
After two months of continuous manual excavation, there are now seven new earth ponds here, and the maximum breeding scale is expected to reach 200,000 eels.
Li Duoyu patted the microphone, confirmed that there was sound, cleared his throat and said:
"Ahem."
"Notification from the village committee, I am Li Duoyu, the village director, and there is an important announcement. Please ask the village committee cadres who have heard the news, including Secretary Wang, the team leader, and Wang Xianghong, who is in charge of electricity.
Please all of the above people go to the village committee meeting room for a meeting in an hour."
"Notify again."
"Finally, notify once."
Since the village has no electricity, this small loudspeaker has rarely sounded. Li Duoyu rarely broadcasts notifications in person. Under normal circumstances, it is Uncle Mao who makes the announcements.
The villagers can clearly feel that there must be something big, otherwise even the team leader would not be called over.
Someone at the dock said.
"So many people are called to a meeting. What happened?"
Old Lu, who had just returned from fishing, said: "Even Wang Xianghong, who is in charge of the diesel generator, was called away. It is probably related to electricity."
"It should be to buy a new generator."
"To be honest, I have gotten used to the absence of electricity in the past six months. It is actually the same to me whether there is electricity or not."
Old Lu said: "It is better to have electricity, otherwise I don't know how to spend the money I earn. I have wanted to buy a color TV for a long time."
"That's because you have money. We don't have money. We can't even afford a three-in-one machine."
After Li Duoyu finished the broadcast, he saw his second brother who was still distributing money: "Brother, after you finish your work, come to the village committee together."
Li Yaoguo also heard the broadcast just now. It should be something important, otherwise Duoyu would not call so many people at once.
"I will go there immediately after I finish my work."
An hour later.
The wooden table in the village committee meeting room was crowded with people. Xiasha Village has a large population. There are a total of 15 teams, and there are 15 team leaders alone.
Although the production brigade was disbanded.
But the team leaders were retained. 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 familiar faces.
For example, the captain of the seventh team is his father Li Zhengtian, the captain of the first team is Lao Lu, and the captain of the third team is his uncle. Since he is still fishing squid on Dongshan Island, Li Shuguang participated on his behalf.
In addition to the village committee cadres, there are people like Wang Xianghong and Li Yaoguo. There are about 20 people in the meeting room.
Wang Dapao also came with a cane. Although his hands and feet are inconvenient, he is much better than when he first got sick. He can walk by himself and speak more fluently.
However, he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which is a neurological problem and is irreversible.
At present, he can only rely on simple drugs for treatment. Since his daughters and sons-in-law are unwilling to pay, the money for buying drugs is now paid by Wang Jinshan again.
After seeing that almost everyone has come.
"Everyone, be quiet."
"Let's get ready for the meeting."
Li Duoyu said in a serious tone: "Today's meeting will be hosted by me and Secretary Wang."
"First of all, I have a good news for you. Our island may have electricity in the future because a large wind power generation test project has landed on our island."
Wind power generation test?
Most people present were confused, only Wang Xianghong was surprised and asked: "Is it the same wind turbine as the one in the neighboring island county?"
Li Duoyu nodded and said: "Yes."
"Fuck, fuck, fuck. This is awesome. Our Dandan Island is going to take off."
Wang Xianghong was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions.
And Zhang Erhu, who was standing aside, looked at the excited Wang Xianghong and asked: "Duoyu, is this project big?"
Li Duoyu slapped his hand, "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 was surprised and said, "That's 500,000."
Li Duoyu continued to shake his head: "This is a national project, at least 5 million is the base. After the wind turbine is built, there will be money for laying submarine cables to our island."
After hearing this number, the conference room was very quiet.
For many villagers present, a big unity is already a lot of money, and a millionaire is their goal.
When Li Duoyu said more than 5 million, their heads were empty and they really had no idea.
