In this era when there are no mobile phones and no telephones, even a power outage for a month has almost no impact.

The life of the villagers is still as follows.

It's just that the loudspeaker in the village can't be used, and if you want to inform some news, you can only rely on the loudspeaker to shout, or post important information on the pier.

If there is no electricity, the TVs in the village will not be able to turn on, and everyone will not be able to catch up on the drama.

If you want to say that it is really influential, it should be Lao Yang, who runs a restaurant, and there are a lot of wild boars, roe deer, hedgehogs, muntjacs, and pangolin meat in his freezer.

If there is no electricity, things will definitely not be able to hide, but after learning that the generator is broken, Boss Yang of the restaurant pulled those frozen mountain delicacies to the town overnight and sold them to his peers.

The next day, in the morning.

Li Duoyu gave Wang Xianghong a purchase slip, and took 50 yuan from the village collective account to him to purchase parts for the broken diesel engine.

But Li Duoyu estimated that this matter may not be too smooth, after all, the generator in the village was sent by the "big brother" at that time.

Now the bilateral relationship is very tense, and there are really no accessories, and Li Duoyu remembers that the power outage on Dandan Island lasted for a very long time.

After he was released from prison in his previous life, the island's electricity supply was never restored.

And this is also the sadness of the offshore islands, the power grid simply cannot be laid to them.

Nine out of ten offshore islands in this era used thermal power generation, and to put it bluntly, diesel engines were used.

The situation in Xiasha Village is already good, at least there is a large diesel generator.

And this diesel generator was won by the fishing team's eye-catching performance and won many honors.

It seems that Chenjia Village next door has never been electrified since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and all kerosene lamps are used until now.

In the office of the village committee, Li Duoyu found that he had no office for more than ten days, and he didn't want to clean it very cleanly, and Wang Dacang's tea table came to his office.

"Uncle Liao, what's going on with this table, why did Wang Zhishu's tea table come to my office."

After hearing the voice, Lao Liao came to Li Duoyu's office: "Director Li, you are here." ”

"The tea table was moved to your office by me, anyway, the secretary of the Wang branch won't come back, this tea table was originally bought by the collective, rather than putting it there to eat ashes, it is better for you, the director, to use it."

"That's not good, if Wang Zhishu comes back and asks, how can I reply to him."

"Let's use it first, it's useless to put him there, if you put it here, if a guest comes, at least you can receive one or two times."

Lao Liao remembers very well that the last time the secretary of the big leader came, Director Li wanted to invite him to make tea, but there was no tea table in his office at all.

As for the king cannon .

The village cadres had already discussed it, and if they didn't come back, everyone would treat it as if nothing had happened.

Let him continue to hang on to his false position.

After all, if he is still in power, then everyone doesn't need to choose a village party secretary, in this case, the matter of Dandan Island is still up to Li Duoyu alone.

If only he dared to come back.

Everyone sent the materials of inaction to the town party committee, preparing to jointly remove him.

Li Duoyu glanced at Wang Dacang's tea table, and then pondered: "Okay, then I'll use it first." ”

Lao Liao smiled and said: "Director Li, if there are guests who come to our village committee to make tea, remember to call me, and I will boil water for you." ”

Li Duoyu nodded.

After leaving the village committee, he came to his new homestead, where his father and the stonemason Lao Cao were busy.

A small shed was built on one side of the foundation, with a lot of cement, a lot of rebar, wire and planks, and on the other side there were piles of river sand, broken stones and bricks.

These building materials alone cost Li Duoyu more than 2,000 yuan.

In this year, it is not easy to build a decent frame cement house on the island.

First of all, the sand, you can't use the fine sand of the sea, you have to use the sand of the freshwater river.

Sea sand contains shells, mud, chloride salts, sulfates, magnesium and other chemicals, and mixing sea sand with concrete will cause the concrete to become weaker.

A few years may not be a problem, but after a long time, the sea sand will not only corrode the steel bar, but also may cause a large area of the wall to fall off.

In short, sea sand is not suitable for use as a building material, and even washed sea sand is not very good.

The river sand was pulled back from the Wujiang River by the third uncle's trawler, and the sand was very cheap, less than ten yuan for a boatload of sand, but the fuel and freight cost fifty yuan.

The broken stones were hammered out one by one by the stonemason Lao Cao and his two apprentices, and a lot of money was also spent on labor.

Of all the building materials, the most troublesome is the steel bar.

This thing belongs to strategic materials, and it is also a material in short supply, which is sold by the state in a unified manner, and it is generally given priority to those units.

If ordinary people want to buy it, in addition to having overseas Chinese remittance coupons, they also have to find a relationship.

Because it is really difficult to buy, some time ago, Li Duoyu had to go to Rongcheng in person and find Zhao Jialu, a "guantong".

Only then did he get the steel bar from the steel factory, of course, looking for Chen Jiao and Chen Yuan would definitely help him solve these problems, but Li Duoyu didn't want to communicate too deeply with the parents, just keep a pure relationship of interest.

It can be said that in this era, even if 10,000 households want to build a decent inverted brick house, it is not an easy thing.

However, in his previous life, Li Duoyu had also heard that there are many mountainous areas where bamboo chips are used as steel bars, and it is said that they are quite strong and durable.

Li Duoyu glanced at the homestead.

The foundation groove and foundation have also been dug and compacted according to the original design drawings, and a layer of concrete cushion has been laid in the foundation groove.

It's been almost ten days now.

The concrete cushion has dried, and the next step is to start tying the foundation reinforcement.

Seeing that Lao Li and Lao Cao were tying steel bars in the foundation, Li Duoyu, who happened to be fine in his hand, also helped.

Lao Cao and they actually used tiger head pliers and needle-nose pliers to tie steel bars, which was very inefficient, and they were still tied diagonally.

Although this kind of workmanship is no problem, the efficiency is really too low, and in the previous life, he will not only be scolded by the foreman, but also be counted.

Li Duoyu is also not used to tying steel bars with pliers and the like, and the speed of tying them up is very slow, and it is not easy to use.

Li Duoyu suddenly thought of something, and then went home and found a small L-shaped iron hook used to pry barnacles, which was very similar to the iron hook that tied steel artifacts in the previous life.

After replacing this artifact, Li Duoyu's efficiency of tying steel bars has been significantly improved, and it feels like one person can catch up with the four of them.

Lao Cao also noticed that Li Duoyu was wrong, and when he came over to take a look, he found that the tools and techniques used by Li Duoyu to tie the steel bars were completely different from his.

Seeing that he tied it so quickly, Lao Cao thought that it might not be particularly strong, but after checking it, his brows furrowed.

They are only tied diagonally, but Li Duoyu's method of tying seems to tie the steel bars together.

The stonemason Lao Cao couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, where did you learn the technique of tying steel bars?" ”

"Ah, this."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said: "I studied it myself when I tied the fishing raft before, and I feel that tying steel bars is the same as tying fishing rafts, so I tied it like this, if it is not right, I will tie it again." ”

Lao Li, who was still tying the wire on the side, frowned and said: "Duoyu, don't make a mess, go and do your business, here I can tie them up with Master Cao." ”

As soon as Lao Li finished speaking, Lao Cao said embarrassedly: "Lao Li, you misunderstood, I didn't say that Duoyu is not good, but I think Duoyu is too good, and I am planning to study hard with him." ”

"It's impossible, he hasn't done this before, how can he be better tied than you."

The stonemason Lao Cao smiled bitterly: "It's true, I don't believe you came to see it yourself." ”

Lao Li put down the pliers, walked over the letter to the suspicious, and shook the steel bar tied to his son with his hand, revealing a puzzled expression.

It's really the same as Lao Cao said, the steel bars tied by many fish are much stronger than them.

The steel bars they tied were pulled twice and could still be pulled, but the ones tied by the fish were very strong.

Lao Li frowned, over the past year or so, the fourth child has changed too much, and he feels like he can do everything.

At first, he was also puzzled, and several times, he couldn't help but ask Chen Huiying.

But the mother-in-law didn't want to be reasonable at all, and when she encountered something she couldn't understand, she said that it was blessed by Mazu Niangniang.

After that, he got used to it, and he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, the better the fourth child, the happier he was.

To be honest, Li Duoyu really didn't expect that a tied steel bar would attract the attention of Lao Cao and his father.

But for a person who lives in the countryside, it seems that there is nothing wrong with tying steel bars.

In the previous life, because the young people were out, once they had someone to build a villa here, they would always find no workers.

As soon as they had free time, they would be asked to help build a house, and they would be paid a lot of wages a day, even if it was a small job, at least 300 a day.

If it is the peak season for fishermen, the daily wage will be at least 500.

In his previous life, when he was free, Li Duoyu liked to be a construction worker for others, after all, the daily settlement was very fast.

Although Lao Cao was not convinced, he still said: "Duoyu, can you tie two more and let me learn too." ”

"Yes, no problem."

Li Duoyu demonstrated it directly in front of him, but after reading it, Master Cao still didn't understand it.

"How do you screw up the wire with this?"

Li Duoyu said: "Pay attention, if you want to hook from here, and then turn around twice, you must use a hook of my shape." ”

Master Cao called the two apprentices over to learn together, and after about half an hour, everyone was already proficient in using this tool and binding method.

After using this new binding method, the original six-hour workload was reduced to two hours.

The whole process is a full three times faster.

After tying up the steel bar, Lao Cao smoked a cigarette, looked at the base in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, he found that Li Duoyu really knew how to build a house better than him.

The foundation in front of him is really better than what he learned in Rongcheng, very neat and clear.

From the beginning of the drawings, the trench digging pit, including the current steel binding method, is almost all guided by Li Duoyu.

In the process of building a house for Duoyu, Lao Cao himself learned a lot of architectural knowledge from Duoyu, and also understood from him what pile foundation and strip foundation are.

To tell the truth, if Duoyu is not the village director, and he has to engage in farming, he is too busy, maybe he can build his own house.

Lao Cao said to himself: "It seems that you can't always stay on the island, if you have the opportunity in the future, you have to learn from Duoyu and go out to see the outside world." ”

And Li Duoyu spent more than a day and Lao Cao to get this homestead in order, and poured cement again.

Next, you have to wait for the cement to dry before you can move on to the next step, which is also the most troublesome part of the cement house.

If it was replaced with a stone house, Lao Cao would have already built it in more than a month, and maybe Li Duoyu would be able to go on the beam now.

The day of the rain in the Lunar Valley.

That is, on the first day of March, Li Duoyu made a bowl of Taiping noodles for Zhou Xiaoying early in the morning.

It is their local custom to eat Taiping noodles on their birthdays, and Taiping noodles are a kind of noodle noodles, which are usually made into soup noodles, and under normal circumstances, two duck eggs are placed inside.

The homonym of duck eggs here is "pressing the waves", which means wishing relatives smooth sailing and safe sailing.

After Zhou Xiaoying woke up, she found the bowl of flat noodles on the table, and her expression was stunned.

"You remember my birthday."

Li Duoyu smiled: "It was A-Niang who told me." ”

Zhou Xiaoying snorted: "If A-Niang doesn't tell you, will you forget my birthday." ”

"Do you remember me, then?"

"I'm the first day of March, you're April 19, I'm a month and eighteen days older than you, you have to call me sister."

Li Duoyu smiled with a look of ill will: "What's the hurry, when you get to bed, I'll call you sister again." ”

Zhou Xiaoying's pretty face turned red.

But when looking at the two big duck eggs in the bowl, Zhou Xiaoying frowned: "These two eggs are too big, I can't eat them all, I'll share one with you." ”

Li Duoyu said solemnly: "That's not good, this is a Taiping egg, it must be eaten all." ”

Zhou Xiaoying pouted: "You can't find me two smaller ones." ”

"Eggs, of course, the bigger the better."

"Then you can eat."

"Comrade Xiaoying, if you eat all these eggs, I'll give you a surprise after your class in the afternoon."

Zhou Xiaoying blinked and grinned: "What a surprise, can you tell me first." ”

"You'll know when you come back."

"Tell me first, otherwise I'm not in the mood to go to class."

"If you're not in the mood, it's better to just let the students study on their own."

"Well, the headmaster will say mine."

Li Duoyu looked at his watch and said, "Comrade Xiaoying is almost there, hurry up and go to class, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Before class, Zhou Xiaoying put her finger on Li Duoyu's waist and threatened: "You really don't tell me, do you?" ”

"This kind of thing tells you in advance, it's not interesting, birthday gifts, what you want is surprises."

Zhou Xiaoying gave him a blank look:

"Just don't be scared."
