Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  The folks just do what they say, who doesn’t have a few broken fishing nets? Just take two of them, and spread them one after the other, no matter how wide the road is, it will block you, making it difficult for you to drill through.

   What's more, the folks are very positive about this matter, and even set up a shift, with the elderly watching in turn in the morning and noon.

  Those people originally thought that the villagers were just talking, and they didn't follow them at first, until they wanted to go to the beach to watch the tide in the afternoon, and saw that the road to the pier to board the boat was surrounded from a distance.

   Then go back to the educated youth point and say, everyone walks to the pier together.

  Such a large group of people had to pass through a village, and before they reached the pier, the villagers were already rushing to tell each other, running faster than them.

  The farce that just ended in the morning, and the confrontation at the pier in the afternoon, the villagers refused to let them pass.

   "Anyway, you all said that it will be approved sooner or later, let us wait patiently, then you should also wait patiently."

   "Yes, we won't go to that sea area either. Everything is waiting for you to fish at the bottom of the sea. You just have to wait patiently."

   "Everyone wait together, otherwise we will worry that you will run away after fishing."

   "Look at the Mazu Temple next to it, the tiles have been blown all over the ground, and we are in a hurry to repair it! The leaders also understand it!"

   "You go back and help and talk about it. It's not that we don't cooperate with the work. We have cooperated with sincerity for so many days."

   "Yeah, you guys should go back and make a phone call, remind me, the village committee has a phone number to call."

   "It's just..."

  The museum staff and the salvage team had nothing to do with these villagers. Whoever told them that they were locals, they could not fight against the entire village, so they had to return to the village committee without success.

   I don't know if the persistence of the villagers played a role. The commendations and rewards that have not been approved have all been sent to the village committee three days later, even Ye Yaodong's one.

   It just so happens that there are still some waves on the beach these few days. Everyone didn’t go out to sea, so they just picked up small seafood by the beach and helped watch the pier by the way.

  After the village committee received the commendation and reward, they asked people to ride a bicycle with a horn on the limited roads in the village twice, and shouted twice at the same time.

   Actually, there is no need to call it twice, everyone knows it once, and they all go to the village committee.

  The village committee couldn’t hold so many people. The leaders were already in the open space in front of the village committee, waiting for the villagers to come.

   This is the same as when the brigade distributed food and fish in the past. The open space was full of villagers in the whole village. It was just that the captain of the brigade used to speak some patriotic quotations, but now he listened to the official language spoken by the village chief.

"Folks, the leaders above also hope that our village will become more and more prosperous, and we also hope that our fishermen can return home with a full load, so the bronze tripod donated in the name of Mazu Temple, the museum and the county also have corresponding ones given to Mazu Temple award."

   "Huh? Are they paid by both sides?" This surprised the villagers. They thought that the first batch of money was a one-off payment, but they didn't expect it to be two.

   "That's right, not only the museum has rewards, but the county also has one."

   "That's good, that's good..."

   "This is good, this is good..."

  The folks whispered happily and talked a lot, but they didn't expect to be so generous.

   But when they heard the amount of reward, everyone was dumbfounded again.

   "Huh? Only 500? Did you say something wrong?"

   "I heard it was also 500!"

   "I thought I was deaf."

   "Sailimu, it's only 500, not enough for us to build a suite, why are you kidding us?"

   "Should the wooden chicken break, call gui lazily, how about playing with us?"

  The village cadres saw that the villagers had exploded again, and there were angry discussions there, and they quickly comforted them, "Folks, folks, listen to me, don't get excited, you haven't finished talking yet."

   "Tell me, tell us why, 500 yuan is not enough to build a house in our country, and it's just a beggar."

   "It is, it is..."

  How much anticipation was just now, how angry now, the people who watched 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 500 yuan. The most that is found in other places is the reward. They have their rules and regulations."

"However, considering that our donation is in the name of Mazu Temple, this situation is quite special, so the higher-ups also adopted our opinion, saying that they will cooperate with the county government and let the county government come forward to publicize it in the newspaper, so that people from all walks of life People from all walks of life actively donated money to build the Matsu Temple in our village to do good deeds."

   "And the county will also give a 300 yuan commendation reward at the same time, and there will be a pennant honorably hung in our Mazu Temple."

  The folks were angry at the beginning, then confused and confused later, and now they are restless again.

   "Is anyone donating now?"

   "Is this useful? What's the matter with people outside building temples in our village? Can people outside take money to build it for us?"

   "Yeah, it feels a little unreliable. Why do people use money to build temples in our village? It's none of their business."

   "Are those officials fooling us with this again?"

Seeing that everyone didn't trust them, the village cadres talked about it there, and then shouted loudly with their loudspeakers: "Folks, don't worry that no one will donate money. It's hard to say about other industries, but people like us who run boats and do business If you are in the sea, you will definitely be willing to donate some money to build a temple to keep you safe. Not to mention other places, let’s talk about our surrounding area and the town area, there are quite a few people going to sea.”

   "Then there are Mazu temples in other places, people can also worship, why donate money to us?"

   "Yes, yes, that's..."

"Good question, so when we build the temple, we will also make some small statues of Mazu and offer them together. When the Mazu temple is completed, those who donate a certain amount of money can ask a small statue of Mazu to be offered on the boat. Have a safe journey."

  Hearing this, the eyes of the middle-aged and elderly people in the village lit up.

  If they can invite a small statue of Mazu to sit on the boat to keep them safe, they are also willing to donate more money.

  I believe that as long as there are boats in the surrounding villages, they will be happy. The risk at sea is too high, and the death rate is too high.

The village committee gave everyone time to discuss, and after a while they said: "This fundraising is initiated by the museum and the county government on our behalf, and all the funds raised will be used to build the Mazu Temple in the village, so folks We don’t have to worry about not having enough money to build the temple, and we ask the folks to cooperate with them.”

  Several old people in the village discussed it, and they also felt that this was feasible. Although the higher authorities did not approve much money, they showed their attitude and supported it.

  The most important thing is to help raise money, this is the most important.

   "Then when can we raise money?"

   "We will go to the newspaper office in the county to publish the newspaper on tomorrow's working day, just in time when the leaders are all in our village, and the fundraisers can feel relieved to donate after reading it."

   "This is good, this is good..."

   "That is to say, if this is not a disturbance, people will not approve it..."

"That's right, if there is a commotion, people will approve it immediately, and you can take advantage of people raising money. Otherwise, the leaders will leave, and outsiders may not believe us when they come to our village. In case they think we are liars What should I do?"

   "That's right, the leaders have to stay in our village for a while longer. After we raise money, you can leave!"

   "Uh...hehe... Don't worry, everyone, we have an official to come forward, don't worry..."

  Ye Yaodong stood in the corner with his friends. He didn't express his opinion from the beginning to the end, but just listened.

   As for him, his merits and virtues can be regarded as consummated. If the Mazu Temple is completed, he will have a share of credit and merit. At that time, he will pay more respects and offer incense to thank him for rebirth.

   After watching the excitement, he patted his companions on the shoulders, "Let's go, after watching the excitement, you can go back to play cards. It just happens to be idle, and I will go to sea again tomorrow."

   "Okay, I will win you a few dollars to subsidize the living expenses for these few days."

   "Just don't lose even the shorts."

   "Hey... that's not right, Dongzi, didn't you also hand in a bronze vessel?"

   "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, didn't you also hand in the bronze vessel? Didn't you also get a share of the commendation award? Why didn't you mention it?"

   "Maybe I will give it after I go back? There are so many people here, and everyone is discussing the construction of the Mazu Temple. I will ask later." Ye Yaodong didn't care too much.

  The Matsu Temple donated a big bronze tripod with an inscription, and under the pressure of the villagers in the village, the museum was so stingy that it only rewarded 500 yuan? The county only rewarded 300 yuan?

   Dead buckle, dead buckle, it is estimated that if he hadn't come up with an idea, they would only reward 500 yuan and have to be kicked out.

  He just donated such a small wine glass, and he didn't expect to give him much money. As for the underwater location he contributed, maybe he didn't count his credit, maybe he was only given a pennant or a certificate of honor?

   Otherwise, take a few thermoses, washbasins, and enamel jars to fool him?

   Whatever he likes, he doesn't care about that little thing, as long as he gets a merit by mistake.

  If it really has his share, it will naturally be sent to his home later.

  Everyone was discussing on the spot, but they turned around and left early, quite conspicuous.

Secretary Chen and the others were standing on the rock. When they saw Ye Yaodong, they quickly called to him, "Ah Dong, wait a minute, and you haven't received your reward? You can take it back together, so it won't save me from waiting." One more run."

  The noise of the crowd's discussion also stopped for an instant, and everyone remembered that Ye Yaodong also built a small bronze wine cup, and he also discovered that sea area that led people there.

   "A Dong should be rewarded a lot, right?"

   "Yes, he was the one who picked up that tripod, and he also discovered that sea area. The tripod was rewarded with 800 yuan, so he should be able to reward a lot, right?"

   "He was too honest, he even handed in a small wine glass."

   "Isn't it? If you don't pay it, people won't know about it, and it can be sold secretly at that time."

"Too stupid…"

   "What are you stupid? Maybe the county gives more than the rags."

   "That's true!"

   "Looking at the attitudes of those people, that bronze vessel seems to be quite valuable. That day, someone sold two bowls for 20 yuan to the junk collector, and it was taken back later."

   "Look... just look..."
