Chapter 72 Go to the Train Station to Pick Someone Up
(The second half of this chapter has a more realistic background of the railway station at that time. If you don’t like it, you can skip this chapter. It has no effect on the plot.)
Since he had a boat.
Li Duoyu thought about going to the sea every day, either in the kelp field or trying to catch fish.
And the Xijia Reef where big bass can be caught was besieged by fishermen’s various fishing nets and longline fishing for two weeks.
The big bass was directly confiscated.
The fishermen caught a total of four big bass weighing more than 100 kilograms, and Lao Zhang at Qingkou Wharf began to lower the price from the second one.
By the fourth one.
The purchase price of each pound of big bass was only 40 cents. Seeing that the big bass could not be sold at a high price, the fishermen dispersed from Xijia Reef.
But in a blink of an eye, they set their sights on Li Duoyu’s net fishing.
As a result, in less than a month, almost all the waste trawl nets in Lianjiang County were bought up by fishermen from Dandan Island.
The eldest cousin Li Shuguang bought the most, buying three sets of old trawl nets, and the second cousin also bought two sets.
In the mudflats, in the Badwater Bay, wherever there are piles, all of them are fixed nets.
Some fishermen have also developed a new way of playing, sprinkling some fish bait in the net to attract sea fish to eat in the net.
As a result, that fisherman caught hundreds of kilograms of seafood that day, and since then, everyone has followed suit and put fish bait in the trawl net.
During this period, the dock of Dandan Island was very busy, and there were so many seafood that fishmongers couldn't collect them all.
There was a situation of "oversupply".
Then, the price of seafood plummeted.
The price of hairtail, which was the most caught, was reduced to only five cents per kilogram.
There were so many miscellaneous fish that no one bought them, and they had to be pulled by tractors to make fish sauce.
The impact of this overfishing was also very obvious. In less than two months, the fishery resources near their village had obviously decreased.
Those fishermen who did not buy trawl nets and were still fishing with sticky nets began to complain about those who set up the nets after finding that the fish catch had decreased.
Finally, they had no choice but to go fishing in the sea area of Chenjia Village next door, which resulted in the conflict between the fishermen of the two villages escalating again.
Often, they would greet each other's parents and visit each other's graves even though they were dozens of meters apart on the sea.
The "initiator" Li Duoyu has not been fishing much recently, but has been concentrating on his kelp.
The colder the weather, the better the kelp grows.
After three months of growth, the small kelp seedlings are now more than one meter long, and the best ones are already two meters long.
As long as we wait until the beginning of next spring, the kelp will usher in another wave of growth explosion, and by then, it will grow to four to five meters long.
Due to the recent rainy weather in winter and less sunlight, the kelp must adjust the water layer.
The aquaculture water layer should be raised from the original 3-4 meter deep to about 1-2 meters, so that the kelp can be exposed to as much sunlight as possible, otherwise it is easy to get green rot.
Adjusting the water layer is a hard job, and each auxiliary rope must be pulled up and re-knotted, which is a very large workload.
Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao worked in the kelp field for seven days before they adjusted the water layer of the 30 mu kelp field.
After the adjustment, his uncle Chen Dongqing came from the county town and saw that Li Duoyu had adjusted the water layer.
Faced with this situation, Chen Dongqing was already somewhat accustomed to it, and then began to urge the team leader Wang Dapao to adjust the water layer quickly.
By the way, he checked Wang Dapao's 100 mu kelp field, shaking his head and sighing while checking. The buoy and the main rope were all barnacles and they were not cleaned.
As a result, many kelp seedlings fell off, and the quality of the wooden piles was not good at the beginning. Some kelp that was pulled out floated on the sea surface, and they didn't know to clean up the white rot disease.
The management was a mess.
When Wang Dapao saw Chen Dongqing, he called him to the team for tea. When he learned that he was here to urge him to adjust the kelp water layer, his face changed instantly.
Wang Dapao began to regret raising kelp, because it was too troublesome, but he thought that he had invested so much money, and it would be uneconomical if he gave up halfway.
So he hired the villagers who wanted to increase the price to help him adjust the water layer of the kelp.
During this period of time.
Zhou Xiaoying's belly was more than eight months old, and it was as round as a ball. She could no longer walk to school and had to take leave at home.
Now, she was like a protected animal in the zoo, imprisoned in the "yard" by her mother, and her mother rarely went to the oyster field to work recently, becoming Zhou Xiaoying's full-time breeder.
Three meals a day.
From time to time, she would kill a chicken for her and stew some fish soup to nourish her body.
The second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua was so greedy that she wanted to get pregnant again.
Because Zhou Xiaoying had a difficult birth in her previous life, Li Duoyu did not dare to run around during this period, and stayed at home with his wife whenever he had time.
Until one day, his father asked him to help with something, and then Li Duoyu left Dandan Island and went to the train station in Rongcheng.
Winter vacation is here.
The younger sister who was studying in another province was coming back. In the past, Lao Li also picked her up, but later, because there were too many people at the train station, he often couldn't find anyone, so Li Duoyu went to pick her up.
That day, Li Duoyu took the passenger ship on the island to Qingkou Wharf, and then took a bus to Rongcheng North Bus Station.
Speaking of which, after coming to this world for so long, Li Duoyu has never entered the city once.
When the bus arrived in Rongcheng.
Li Duoyu found that the city in front of him was completely different from the later world. At that time, the roads were very wide, and most of the trolleybuses on the road were two-carriage trolleybuses.
There are very few private cars. The most common ones on the road are 28-ton bicycles, which often run side by side, talking and laughing.
In this era, cities are often very fragmented. The more harmonious the city looks, the more chaotic its train station will be.
It can be said that for a long time after the reform and opening up, the city's train station can almost be said to be the place with the worst public security.
It is common to rob money, jewelry, and wallets. Sometimes people can be lost at the train station. In addition, the trafficking of women is prevalent in this era.
Old Li is worried about Li Xiaorong going home alone, and insists that someone must come to pick her up every year.
After the bus arrives at the North Bus Station, it is less than 300 meters away to Rongcheng Railway Station.
Looking at the square of the train station in front of him, Li Duoyu can't help but have a headache. It's better to say that it's a big market than a train station.
There are stalls everywhere, and a large number of hawkers are walking through the square, selling smuggled goods such as watches, nylon umbrellas, sunglasses, clothes, cigarettes, etc.
And those passengers with large and small bags squat on the ground and eat steamed buns. They are all waiting to buy train tickets.
Some scalpers were holding a bunch of tickets, and these people kept persuading them:
"Where are you going? Today's tickets are all here. If you don't buy them, you can only stay here tonight. By then, your things will be stolen, which is not worth it."
Li Duoyu had just arrived at the train station not long ago when he found that he was followed by a little kid.
At the train station, most pickpockets are children in their early teens. They are very agile and small. Once they succeed, they immediately get into the crowd and it is difficult to catch them.
Seeing that the child staring at him.
Li Duoyu turned his pockets out to show him that he didn't have a dime, and persuaded him to give up quickly.
What he didn't expect was that when he said he had no money, the child actually started smoking and came up to mock him: "Damn, he is even poorer than me."
Li Duoyu was so angry that his liver hurt.
But these little brats are often organized. Once a conflict occurs with them, he may be beaten up by a dozen little brats.
These little brats are certainly hateful, but Li Duoyu is most afraid of seeing those disabled children begging at the train station.
Not far from him, there are two children begging, one of them has half of his ear missing, and even if the other one squats there, it is obvious that his feet can no longer walk.
The two children lowered their heads, and their eyes have completely lost their light.
Not far from him, there is a woman who looks like she is following him.
After seeing this scene, Li Duoyu sighed helplessly. Even though he is a reborn person, when faced with this situation, he can only choose to turn a blind eye.
This is the best era, but also the worst era, and what Li Duoyu hates most in his life is human traffickers.
