Chapter 33 Interest-Free Loan (Please Read On)

After all the piles were driven.

Li Duoyu paid the pile driving team the money and left the contact information of Master Zhang. The previous contact information was almost always the address.

All the people in Master Zhang's group were from Sixing Village, Shangfeng Town. Their village was almost all sandy beaches, without a single pier, so there were few fishing boats.

People in other villages in the town were getting rich by selling goods, and their village could only watch as half of the people in the village worked for various employers.

Before leaving, Lao Li wanted to invite the pile driving masters to have a meal together, but they were also anxious to go home. They had already received the money and didn't want to let the employer spend money.

After the piles were driven, they had to leave directly.

And the uncle who had been out for so many days also asked the pile driving boat to take him to the Qingkou Wharf opposite.

In addition to the money for the pile driving masters, Li Duoyu also arranged a hard work fee for the uncle. After all, he had been helping with the work these days.

Although she had been wearing a bamboo hat, her shoulders and arms had peeled off several layers of skin.

When he came, he was tender and delicate.

When he left, he was darker and looked very haggard.

But when Li Duoyu stuffed the money into his hand, he was lectured by him in the tone of an elder:

"You are so clear with me, do you look down on me, your uncle, or do you think I am a worker?"

"Take it away, no, you will have to spend a lot of money to raise kelp in the future."

Seeing that Chen Dongqing did not accept it, Li Duoyu took out the last three packs of foreign cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand: "If you don't want the money, you must take this."

"Marlboro, you are good."

Chen Dongqing did not accept the money, but he accepted the three packs of cigarettes.

After taking the three packs of cigarettes, Chen Dongqing simply said goodbye to Lao Li and Chen Huiying, and left with the pile driver.

Before leaving,

Li Duoyu also emphasized to him: "I have already prepared the raft frame, you have to do the sign as soon as possible."

"I know you gave me cigarettes without any good intentions, I will get it for you as soon as I go back, it should be ready after National Day."

Li Duoyu, Lao Li, and Chen Huiying stood at the dock and watched the pile-driving boat go away before leaving.

The two elders have their own jobs.

We will go to knock oysters later. Zhou Xiaoying is still teaching. Li Duoyu, who suddenly has free time, also followed the two elders to the mudflats.

For some reason, there are more and more red-billed oyster birds on the mudflats recently. This bird is about the same size as a skua, black on top and white on the bottom, with red claws.

During this period, this bird has made Lao Li very angry.

Because this bird's ability to pry oysters is no worse than that of humans, as long as the tide recedes, it will fly to Lao Li's oyster farm for a buffet.

When people get close, they all fly away. If you want to destroy its nest, it will pretend to be injured and limp to show you, and it will fly away immediately when you get close.

Lao Li used firecrackers to blow them up several times, but the effect was not very good. They flew back in less than half a day.

Later, Lao Li shouted all day that he would buy bird nets to kill these bastards.

And Lao Li's struggle with the red-billed oysterbirds was just the prelude to the dispute between marine birds and farmers.

That year, after Li Duoyu came back from the island country, he heard from the eel and shrimp farmers on the island that farming and these seabirds were deadly enemies in the past.

Especially those who reclaimed land on the mudflats to raise fish would set up invisible bird nets around them.

When it was exaggerated, the bird nets were densely packed with seabird corpses, and the farmers did not eat these birds at all, but just let them rot on the nets.

It was precisely because of this conflict that there were few traces of seabirds on Dandan Island for a long time in the future.

Until later, the status of seabirds was upgraded to protected animals, and people dared not put bird nets anymore. The environment also improved, and the number of seabirds on Dandan Island increased again.

However, the conflict between birds and farmers still exists.

When the two old men knocked oysters.

Li Duoyu held a dogtail grass in his mouth and sat on a large rock nearby. He looked at the kelp culture rafts that had just been built not far away, and his face was full of pride.

The work was completed the day before National Day, about ten days earlier than expected. To be honest, it was quite a sense of accomplishment.

However, at this time, the sea water temperature was still a little high, which was not suitable for the growth of kelp seedlings. If they were put into the sea in advance, there was a risk of rotten seedlings.

According to past experience, it would take about another month, and when the northwest wind blew over, the seedlings could be planted.

And this month was just enough for him to slow down.

The dogtail grass in Li Duoyu's mouth kept turning in circles, but his little abacus in his mind was working fast.

He found that he was still careless. With the little money he earned from selling goods, it was really difficult to support the cultivation of 30 acres of kelp.

Next, his top priority.

That was to get a powered sampan, otherwise there would be no boat, and even if you were given a hundred acres of kelp culture rafts, you could only sigh at the rafts.

He calculated that the total amount of money spent on buying kelp ropes, buoys, casuarinas, and hiring people to drive piles was exactly 1,500 yuan.

After deducting this money, he only had more than 800 yuan left. This money could be used to buy a rowing sampan, which would definitely be no problem.

But Li Duoyu thought it was unrealistic to use a rowing sampan to manage the 30 acres of kelp. He would probably die of exhaustion at sea before the kelp was harvested.

But power fishing boats in this era are very expensive. The single-bar diesel sampan of my uncle's family was bought with the money earned from shipping goods in recent years, and the total cost was nearly 3,000 yuan.

Ordinary fishermen simply can't afford it.

In fact, 80% of the fishermen on Dandan Island now do not have power boats, most of them use rowing sampans, especially in Chenjia Village.

During the days of piling, it was Uncle San who brought food to them while they were piling at sea. It was very good for a relative to do this.

Li Duoyu was also a man who knew his limits.

I was embarrassed to borrow a boat from them again.

Now he had two options to choose from. Either borrow money from relatives and friends to get a diesel sampan.

But after Chen Atai's group failed in breeding, most of his relatives did not approve of his kelp breeding, so it might not be easy to borrow money.

Or he could go to a credit union for a loan.

And Li Duoyu preferred the latter.

In the early days of opening up, in order to promote the development of the rural economy, the state allocated a certain amount of interest-free loans to farmers and fishermen who started their own businesses every year.

However, it was not easy to get this interest-free loan from a credit union.

This is one of the reasons why Li Duoyu has been urging his uncle Chen Dongqing to set up a sign for him, because as long as he gets the base sign, he will be eligible to apply for an interest-free loan from the credit union.

And now he has almost met all the loan conditions. He has started his own kelp farming business and has taken photos with his leaders.

The right time, right place and right people are all on his side.

Unless the people in the credit union have a grudge against him, it would be difficult for him not to get a loan with such good qualifications.

There is still a month before the kelp seedlings are planted.

Li Duoyu plans to find something to do during this period to make some extra money.

In order to make a kelp farming raft, he has been tossing for half a month. It is really tiring. Tomorrow is National Day, and Li Duoyu plans to take a two-day break.

After National Day, he will consider it again.

Li Duoyu spits out the dogtail grass in his mouth.

He stretched himself.

I wanted to say that life is a struggle, but forget it. He doesn't want to struggle in this life.
