Chapter 248 Fleas and Lice (Subscribe)
After the first wave of cold wave, a long-awaited sunny day came. Every household on Dandan Island started to clean up, mainly to dry quilts, straw mats, and clothes. Most women were washing their hair with hot water.
The second sister-in-law boiled a large pot of water early in the morning and was washing the little fat man's hair. She combed his hair with a very dense comb and pinched all the lice on his head to death.
Li Duoyu was even more ruthless. He directly moved the quilts and mattresses at home to the baking room to bake them.
The reason was that the weather was too cold some time ago, and many villagers did not take a bath. In addition, the sanitary conditions in the village were not very good.
Fleas and lice broke out!
When he went to bed last night, he and Zhou Xiaoying were bitten by several lumps on their bodies. They were itchy and did not sleep well all night.
Little Tutu was not spared. He was also bitten by several lumps on his body. After waking up early in the morning, he kept scratching and crying.
In this era, fleas, lice, ticks and other tormenting little creatures almost made the reborn Li Duoyu collapse.
These little creatures are more annoying than mosquitoes. They are endless and can never be killed. Once an outbreak occurs, you have to be prepared to be bitten by them as long as you sleep at night.
And you really have no way to deal with them. It is not realistic to completely eliminate them in this era.
The reason is that many people use straw mats at home, some people still use thatched mats, and every household has chickens and ducks.
Fleas usually parasitize on chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs. Unless there is a comprehensive and continuous cleaning, this thing is like weeds, which will grow again in the spring breeze.
The only thing you can do is to maintain personal hygiene, take a bath frequently, dry your quilts more often, and clean your room more often.
Seeing that Li Duoyu used the baking room to bake quilts and clothes, the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua also went home and moved all the quilts in the house to bake in the baking room.
When the weather got better,
Some elderly people in the village also came out to bask in the sun, and more people came to the square, and everyone came out to chat and chat.
Before, Li Duoyu organized village cadres to make quilts for some elderly people with poor economic conditions, so that they would not have to endure the cold at night.
After seeing Li Zhengtian, the elderly in the village praised him endlessly, and praised him for his good family education and the birth of a good son.
But just a year ago.
It was also this group of elderly people who often talked about Li Duoyu.
But they did not praise him, most of them disliked him, saying that he was a street urchin, and they wanted to shave off his afro, saying that he affected the appearance of the village and had no culture and no family education.
In the past, Lao Li did not like to go out very much, and what he was most afraid of was that others would say something about his fourth son and his daughter-in-law Zhu Xiuhua.
But now he has become much more cheerful. Occasionally, when he is free, he will go to the square and the pier for a walk, play chess with others, and chat by the way.
What he likes to hear most is others praising his son Li Duoyu. That voice sounds better than the songs sung by Teresa Teng.
And these days.
Li Duoyu also stopped buying bloodworms because the current stock of bloodworms was enough to last until the eel fry ate them and changed their feed.
And the villagers who originally made money by catching bloodworms sighed one by one.
In the half month of catching bloodworms.
Some people took four or five hundred yuan from Li Duoyu. The Zhao brothers joined the army of catching bloodworms later, but they didn't expect to make more than two hundred yuan after catching for five or six days.
Li Duoyu stopped buying.
Originally, they thought that if they could keep catching bloodworms, maybe they could change to a sampan with a diesel engine this year, but it seems that this plan has to be postponed again.
After suspending the purchase of bloodworms.
After Li Duoyu came to the dock, he was going to buy some miscellaneous fish to make fish meal, but because he came too late.
Most of the miscellaneous fish had been bought to make shrimp oil, leaving only some seafood that was not suitable for making fish meal.
Since there was no miscellaneous fish to buy.
Li Duoyu simply went out to sea to fish by himself, as he hadn't visited the fishing raft for a few days.
Li Duoyu bought a bone from Lao Jin's pork stall to improve Erbaiwu's diet and supplement calcium.
Then, he spent 30 cents at the dock and bought a pound of mixed shrimps, and drove the sampan to the fishing raft.
The sky was cloudless.
The sea breeze blew gently, and although it was a bit cold, Li Duoyu, who had been stuck in the eel factory for so many days, felt a little refreshed.
The boat hadn't arrived yet.
Erbaiwu on the fishing raft was so happy that he kept jumping and shouting. Li Duoyu had just parked the sampan, and Erbaiwu had already jumped on the boat and kept circling around Li Duoyu.
And rubbed his head against his thigh. Fortunately, Erbaiwu was raised at sea and didn't have fleas on his body, otherwise Li Duoyu might really beat him up for rubbing against him like this.
In order to reward it, Li Duoyu took out the pork bones he had just bought after guarding the fishing raft for so long.
After seeing the pork bones.
The idiot shook his tail like a broom and made a whining sound, but he didn't dare to come up and eat it directly.
After Li Duoyu threw the pork bones to the corner where it was eating, the idiot dared to come forward and bite.
It hadn't chewed pork bones for a long time, and this time it was really happy like an idiot, biting with bared teeth, first shaving off the remaining meat on the pork bones.
Then, it kept biting the same place on the pork bones with its dog teeth, and with a click, the pork bones were bitten off by it.
Then.
There was a series of crisp sounds.
Li Duoyu looked at the tide and thought it was about time to cast the net, so he took out the key, unlocked it and went into the bamboo house.
Since Chen Wenchao has been busy with the eel factory recently, his father has been using this house more often.
The house was very clean and tidy. The straw mat on the bed was rolled up when not sleeping, and the quilt was wrapped in a sack.
There was a basket hanging in the middle, with some rice, dry goods, salt and MSG on it. On a simple table, there was a complete set of tableware for cooking.
Some time ago, when Li Duoyu was busy, his father had been helping him take care of the oyster fields and kelp fields.
When he was busy, he would not have time to go home for dinner, so he would cook for himself on the fishing raft.
And Li Duoyu also found a small tank in the corner, which was sealed tightly and pressed with stones.
Li Duoyu moved the stone away and smelled it. Unexpectedly, it was green red wine. It seems that Comrade Lao Li is not as boring as he looks.
Li Duoyu smelled the wine.
It was very strong.
He took the wine ladle beside him and scooped out a little. The color of the wine was very beautiful, pure red, and it felt like amber.
Li Duoyu took a sip.
The taste was smooth and long, very easy to drink. Li Duoyu felt that the green red wine of that year could not have this taste.
This taste was at least three years old green red wine. I really don’t know where this jar of wine was hidden by Lao Li before.
After drinking a sip of wine.
Li Duoyu covered the wine lid, then picked up the sticky net placed in the house, ready to go fishing and get some miscellaneous fish to make fish meal.
After carrying the sticky net of more than a thousand meters long to the sampan, Li Duoyu shouted to the idiot who was lying on the fishing raft and gnawing on the pig bones: "Come here."
The idiot who heard the voice put down the pig bones and stood up immediately, shaking his tail and jumped onto the sampan.
As the sound of "rumble rumble" sounded.
Li Duoyu drove the boat away from the fishing raft and went to the place where the net was cast.
You can't just place the sticky net randomly. You have to look at the tide. Li Duoyu likes to place the net at low tide and collect it at high tide.
If you collect it at high tide and low tide, the fish you catch will be greatly reduced, and it will be very tiring to pull the net because of the tide.
In this era, the net-pulling machine has not yet become popular. When the tide is high, it is very tiring to collect the net, so try to pull the net when the tide is stable.
In addition to looking at the tide, the most important thing about placing the sticky net is to make sure you know what kind of fish you want to catch.
If you want to catch bottom sea fish, you have to use a bottom-sinking sticky net. If you want to catch middle and upper sea fish, you have to use a floating net.
After winter, in order to successfully overwinter, sea fish generally hide in deep sea areas, and the number of sea fish in offshore areas will decrease significantly.
So if you cast the net in winter, try to go to the deep sea area to cast the bottom net, so that the probability of catching fish will be greatly increased.
It took Li Duoyu almost an hour to put the one-kilometer-long sticky net into the sea.
After casting the net.
It takes about five or six hours before it’s time to go online.
