Folks just do what they say. Who doesn't have a few broken fishing nets? Just take two and open them head to tail. No matter how wide the road is, it will block you and you will not be able to get through.
What's more, the villagers are very active in this matter, and they even set up a schedule, and there are elderly people taking turns watching it in the morning and noon.
Those people originally thought that the villagers were just talking and did not follow them at first. It was not until the afternoon that they wanted to go to the beach to watch the tide. From a distance, they saw that the road to the pier to get on the boat was surrounded.
Then we went back to the educated youth spot and talked, and everyone walked to the pier together.
Such a large group of people wanted to pass through a village. Before they could reach the pier, the villagers were already running around telling each other faster than they could.
The farce that had just ended in the morning was followed by a confrontation at the pier in the afternoon, with the villagers refusing to let them pass.
"Anyway, you all said that it will be approved sooner or later. Let us wait patiently. Then you guys should also wait patiently."
"Yes, we won't go to that area of ​​the sea either. Everything is waiting for you to fish at the bottom of the sea. Just wait patiently."
"Everyone wait together, otherwise we will worry about you running away after fishing."
"Look at the Mazu Temple next door. The tiles have been blown to the ground. We are also in a hurry to repair it! The leaders also understand!"
"You go back and help us. It's not that we don't cooperate with the work. We have cooperated sincerely for so many days."
"Yes, you should go back and make a phone call to urge me. The village committee has a phone number you can call."
"That's right..."
Those in the museum and the salvage team had nothing to do with these villagers. Even though they were locals, they couldn't go against the entire village, so they had no choice but to return to the village committee without success.
I don’t know if the villagers’ persistence played a role, but all the commendations and rewards that had never been approved were sent to the village committee three days later, including Ye Yaodong’s share.
It just so happened that there were still some waves on the beach these days, so no one went out to sea. They just picked up small seafood on the beach and helped watch the pier.
After the village committee received the commendation and reward, they asked people to ride bicycles with horns on them and ride them back and forth on the limited roads in the village twice, shouting twice at the same time.
In fact, there is no need to shout twice. Everyone knows after shouting once and everyone goes to the village committee.
There was not enough room for so many people to stand in the village committee, so the leaders had been waiting in the open space in front of the village committee for the villagers to come over.
This is just like when the brigade shared food and fish in the past. The open space was filled with villagers from the whole village. Only in the past, the captain of the brigade said some patriotic quotes, but now it was the village chief who said some official words.
"Folks, the leaders above also hope that our village will become more prosperous, and that our fishermen can return home safely and with a full load. Therefore, the bronze tripod donated in the name of Mazu Temple has been donated to the museum and the county.
award."
"Ah? Is it given to both sides?" This surprised the villagers. They thought that the first batch of money was awarded in one sum, but they didn't expect that it was two sums.
"Yes, not only the museum gives out rewards, but the county also gives one."
"That's good, that's good..."
"This is good, this is good..."
The villagers all happily whispered to each other and talked about it. They didn't expect it to be so generous.
But when they heard the amount of the reward, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Ah? Only 500? Did you say it wrong?"
"I heard it was also 500!"
"You're so stupid, I thought I was deaf."
"Sailimu, it's only 500. It's not enough for us to build a suite. Are you kidding us?"
"Ying Muji breaks off, Lazy screams gui, are you kidding us?"
When the village cadres saw that the villagers were getting angry again, and they were talking angrily, they quickly spoke out to comfort them, "Folks, folks, listen to what I have to say. Don't get excited yet. I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Tell us, please tell us why. 500 yuan is not even enough to build a house in the countryside, so we are sending you to beggar."
"That's right, that's right..."
I was so excited just now, but now I am so angry. People in the museum couldn't help but take a few steps back, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, for fear of being torn directly.
"Listen to what we have to say first. This museum rewards you with 500 yuan. If you find cultural relics in other places, you can only get this much reward at most. They have their own rules and regulations."
"But, considering that our donation was in the name of Mazu Temple, this situation is quite special, so the superiors also adopted our opinion and said that they would cooperate with the county government and let the county government come forward to publicize it in newspapers, so that people from all walks of life can
Everyone enthusiastically donated money to build a Mazu temple in our village and do good things."
"And the county will also give a commendation reward of 300 yuan at the same time, and there will also be a banner hanging gloriously in our Mazu Temple."
The villagers were angry at first, then confused and confused, and now they are restless again.
"Is there anyone donating right now?"
"Is this useful? Why does our village have to worry about people outside when we build a temple? Can people outside give us money to build it?"
"Yes, it feels a bit unreliable. Why should people give money to build a temple in our village? It's none of their business."
"Are those officials fooling us with this matter again?"
Seeing that everyone did not trust them, the village cadres discussed there and shouted loudly with loudspeakers: "Folks, don't worry about no one donating. It's hard to say in other industries, but for people like us who run boats, we can do it."
Those who live in the sea will definitely be willing to donate some money to build a temple to ensure safety. If we don’t talk about other places, let’s just say that there are a lot of people going to sea in the area around us and in the town.”
"Then there are Mazu temples in other places and people can worship there, so why should they donate money to us?"
"Yes, yes, that's right..."
"That's a good question, so when we build the temple, we will also make some small statues of Mazu to worship together. After the Mazu temple is completed, people who have donated a certain amount of money can ask for a small statue of Mazu to be put on the boat for worship.
Have a safe journey."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the middle-aged and elderly people in the village suddenly lit up.
If they could ask for a small statue of Mazu to be put on the boat to keep it safe, they would be happy to donate more money.
I believe that the surrounding villages would be happy as long as there are boat operators. The risks at sea are too high and the mortality rate is too high.
The village committee gave everyone time to discuss, and after a while they said: "This fundraiser was initiated by the museum and the county government on our behalf. All the funds raised will be used to build the Mazu temple in this village, so the villagers
We don’t have to worry about not having enough money to build the temple, and we ask the villagers to cooperate with their work."
Several elderly people in the village discussed it and thought it was feasible. Although the superiors did not approve the amount of money, their attitude was clear and they were supportive.
The most important thing is that it can also help raise money, this is the most important.
"When can we raise money?"
"We will go to the newspaper office in the county to publish the report tomorrow during the working day. It just so happens that the leaders are in our village, so the fundraisers can feel free to donate after reading it."
"This is good, this is good..."
"I mean, if this doesn't cause trouble, people won't approve it..."
"Yes, if we make a fuss, they will approve it right away. We can also raise money while others are doing it. Otherwise, if the leaders leave, outsiders may not believe us when they come to our village, in case they think us a liar."
What to do?”
"That's right, then the leaders have to stay in our village for a while longer, and then you can leave after we raise the money!"
"Uh...hehe... don't worry, everyone, we have official support for this, so don't worry..."
Ye Yaodong stood in the corner with his friends. He watched from beginning to end without expressing an opinion. He just listened there. It would be great if he could resolve the matter satisfactorily.
As for him, his merits are considered to be complete. If the Mazu Temple is built, he will be considered a part of his contribution and merit. When the time comes, he will pay more homage and offer incense to express his gratitude for his rebirth.
After seeing the excitement, he patted his friends on the shoulders and said, "Let's go. After seeing the excitement, you can go back and play cards. I just have nothing to do. I will go to sea tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll win you a few dollars to help cover your living expenses for the next few days."
"Just don't lose your shorts."
"Hey...that's not right, Dongzi, didn't you also hand over a bronze vessel?"
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot. Didn't you also hand in the bronze? Did you also get a share of the commendation reward? No matter how much I mentioned it, I didn't even mention you?"
"Maybe I'll give it to you after I go back? There are so many people here, and everyone is discussing the construction of the Mazu temple. I'll ask about it later." Ye Yaodong didn't pay much attention.
The Mazu Temple donated a large bronze cauldron with an inscription. Under pressure from the whole village, the museum was stingy and only awarded 500 yuan. The county only rewarded 300 yuan?
It's a deadlock, it's a deadlock. If it hadn't been for his idea, they would have only awarded 500 yuan and would have been kicked out.
He only donated a small wine glass, and he didn't expect much money to be given to him. As for the seabed position he contributed, maybe his contribution was not counted, and maybe he was only given a pennant or a certificate of honor?
Otherwise, use some thermos bottles, wash basins, and enamel jars to fool him?
It doesn't matter, he doesn't care about that thing, he just wants to gain some merit by accident.
If it was really his fault, it would naturally be sent to his home later.
Everyone was discussing on the spot, but a few of them turned around and left early, which was quite conspicuous.
Secretary Chen and the others were standing on the stone. When he saw Ye Yaodong, he quickly called out to him, "Ah Dong, wait a minute. Are you still missing your reward? You can take it back together, which will save me the trouble of waiting."
I have to run again soon."
The noise of the crowd's discussion also paused momentarily, and everyone remembered that Ye Yaodong had also built a small bronze wine cup, and that he also discovered the sea area where he led people there.
"A Dong should be rewarded a lot, right?"
"Yes, he was the one who fished out the cauldron, and he also discovered that area of ​​the sea. The cauldron was rewarded with 800 yuan, so he should be able to reward a lot, right?"
"He was so honest that he even handed over a small wine glass."
"Isn't that right? If you don't hand it over, people won't know about it, and they can still use it to sell it secretly."
"Too stupid..."
"Why are you stupid? Maybe the county gives you more than what you sell for junk."
"That's true!"
"Looking at the attitude of those people, the bronze vessel seems to be quite valuable. That day someone sold two bowls to the junk collector for 20 yuan, but they were later taken back."
"Take a look...just take a look and you'll know..."
