Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-January, and under the admonition of Li Duoyu and the village cadres, there was no recurrence of charcoal poisoning in the village.

At this time, there were already more than 90,000 eel fry in Li Duoyu's eel factory, and the indoor breeding pond was full of eel fry.

If this was placed in the previous life, with the cheapest ten yuan per tail, it would be nearly more than 900,000.

Nowadays, the second brother Li Yaoguo is as tired as a dog, and there are too many eel fry, and it takes a lot of his 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, and the earliest batch of eel fry has begun to change color, from the transparent color at the beginning, now slowly growing black lines.

Next, it's time to move on to the second stage.

Heating up openings.

Eel fry are very picky about the environment.

The water quality is not good, and death will be shown to you.

The temperature is not enough, I just don't bother to move, I'd rather starve to death than open my mouth.

Li Duoyu adopts the simplest and crude heating method, which is to use the two ovens where the oysters were originally dried and directly heat them with firewood.

Twenty hours a day without a stop of firewood can raise the entire plant by about five degrees, so that the temperature in the pond is just the lowest problem for the opening of the eel fry.

The only thing that is a little bad is that there is a bit of waste firewood, and the average daily firewood has to be burned nearly five yuan.

But how could a person like him who can live a life waste these five dollars in vain every day.

One of the ovens is dedicated to drying quilts, clothes, pillows, etc., while the other is rented to fishermen in the village who need to dry fish.

And Li Haoran, the little fat dun, also felt that the temperature in the factory was relatively high, so he directly asked his mother to move a table to do homework here.

The second brother can't wait to live directly in the factory where he only needs to wear one piece of clothing.

After the temperature is raised.

Li Duoyu also began to prepare to feed the first batch of eel fry with bloodworms.

Bloodworms themselves contain a lot of bacteria and parasites, and when they are fished out of the stinky gutter, they cannot only feed the eels.

Otherwise, if there are bacteria and parasites, it will be a large area.

Generally, it is necessary to raise it with clean water for a period of time, and then soak it in clean seawater for an hour before feeding.

After washing several times to kill the bacteria and parasites in the bloodworms, this can be used to feed the eel fry.

And when cleaning bloodworms.

Li Duoyu directly put his hand into the dense bloodworms and stirred it.

In this scene, the second sister-in-law who was responsible for feeding the eel fry made her scalp numb: "Many fish, do you have to wash bloodworms by hand?" ”

Li Duoyu was stunned.

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

The second sister-in-law patted her chest: "It's okay, it's scared to death, if this hand is put in, it feels like I don't need to eat for a month." ”

When Li Duoyu said, Li Yaoguo on the side felt a little wrong, it stands to reason that even if the fourth child has experience, there should not be many times.

How do you get used to using your hands?

Chen Wenchao, on the other hand, didn't have so many eyes, holding a pen and a notebook to record there, but because he didn't graduate from elementary school.

I can't write in big letters.

I could only draw a pattern over there, drawing a group of small bugs, and a hand, and writing a number three.

Li Duoyu glanced at the back.

I guess that no one else really understands that thing except himself.

"The literacy class starts next week, you sign up with Qingguang, you know if you don't, otherwise you will take you out to talk about business in the future, and it is estimated that you won't even be able to understand the contract."

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

When feeding eels for the first time, it is generally chosen at 7 to 8 o'clock in the evening, and a food table must be placed so that the eel fry can develop the habit of eating at a fixed point.

After the evening.

Li Duoyu turned on the incandescent lamp hanging on the breeding pond, and as the incandescent lamp lit up, all the eel fry gathered under the lamp to parade.

Followed by.

Li Duoyu gently splashed the bloodworms onto the food table, and after the bloodworms were in the water, they struggled desperately and twisted their bodies.

And the eel fry, which has not eaten for more than half a month, smells the fragrance of bloodworms, and the biological instinct engraved in the genes explodes instantly.

Li Duoyu said while feeding: "The first time you open your mouth, don't feed too much, almost 30% of the weight of a whole pond of eels." ”

Chen Wenchao recorded it again with abstract drawings, and at this time, the third uncle ran over in a hurry.

"Duoyu, Yaoguo, you are all here."

Li Duoyu glanced at the third uncle, whose face was not very good-looking, and hurriedly asked, "Third uncle, is there something wrong with being in such a hurry?" ”

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

After hearing this.

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

Li Duoyu frowned, in fact, he had already been mentally prepared, since the last time the old lady fell, he hadn't seen her again, 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 the Li Duoyu brothers came to the third uncle's house.

Many relatives were there, the uncle's family, the second uncle, the third uncle, and even the aunt and uncle who lived in other places were all called back.

Daddy stood aside smoking a cigarette, he didn't look very good, and after seeing the two brothers, he said lightly: "Go into the room, your grandma called your name just now." ”

Li Duoyu nodded.

Later, he and his second brother Li Yaoguo entered the house, and under the dim light, a lantern was lit.

The aunt who married out of town sat on the side of the bed, her eyes were red, and her mouth kept calling: "A-Niang, I am Hongyu." ”

But the old lady with a heavy quilt on the bed did not react, the whole person was as thin as skin and bones, and the pupils of her eyes looked a little divergent, staring at the mosquito net on the top of the bed.

Breathing is very rapid.

She couldn't eat on her own, so she could only use a spoon to get some water and moisten her lips.

And this summary of the near-death scene, Li Duoyu is not the first time to see it.

Man is dying.

It doesn't matter what is right or wrong.

In fact, when the old lady handed over the longevity lock to their brother, Li Duoyu had already forgiven her.

He half-squatted on the side of the bed, held the old lady's skinny hand, and said softly: "Grandma, I am a fish." ”

After hearing the sound.

As if she had returned to her soul, the old lady used all her strength to tilt her head to Li Duoyu's side, and said in a weak voice: "Good grandson, you are finally willing to come to see me." ”

After hearing this, Li Duoyu's eyes couldn't help but turn red, he was a man in two lives, and he had seen many people leave, and he thought that he had already gotten used to and accepted it.

I didn't think that in the face of life and death, there was still an indescribable sadness.

"Well, Yaoguo and I have come to see you."

"Yaoguo is also here, you two brothers are really well-behaved. Have you received the lock of peace that I gave to your brothers? ”

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

"Grandma, got it."

"It's good to receive it, Grandma has always missed you."

The old lady's breathing became rapid again, her eyes were dilated again, and her hands were clutched in the air, as if she was hallucinating.

After the old lady grabbed it for a while, she quieted down again, and her whole state seemed to be much better than just now.

But he kept muttering: "Little Wu, where are you, Little Wu."

Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu couldn't help sighing, the old lady seemed to be trapped on the day the fifth uncle left all her life.

And right now.

Li Duoyu found that A-Niang, who had sworn never to get along with the old lady, came to the third uncle's house for the first time.

Zhou Xiaoying also held Xiao Tutu and followed behind Ah Niang.

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

It's just that what everyone didn't expect is.

As soon as Chen Huiying entered the room, she heard the old lady calling out the name of the fifth uncle.

Chen Huiying's face was a little ugly in an instant, but after glancing at the old lady who had lost so much weight that only one skin remained, she still chose to stay and did not turn around and leave.
