Chapter 415 The First Person in Merit Monument(1/2)
Ye Yaodong was stopped in front of a large crowd. Seeing everyone's gazes on him, he was not embarrassed. He smiled and waved his hands to everyone shamelessly and walked to the front.
"And my reward, Secretary Chen? That's great. Thank you so much, leader."
The leaders also pretended to smile and nodded, but did not say anything and left everything to the village chief.
When Secretary Chen stopped him, he had already asked the village committee officials to go inside and bring out some rewards for him, as well as certificates and banners.
"A Dong, these are the rewards given to you by the county, and there are also commendations..."
The villagers in the crowd stretched their necks and looked curiously.
"Oh, there is a hot water bottle, a washbasin, and an enamel tub..."
"There are two big bags of flour...eh~ No, it's one bag of rice and one bag of flour."
"Then there are quite a lot of rewards..."
"But I didn't give any money..."
"No money?"
The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, it was exactly what he had guessed.
Ah~ No, there is an extra black notebook and a pen. What a surprise!
All these things are worth dozens of dollars in total, so they are just so-so. The key is that there are many things and they look good when you carry them back.
"Thank you very much."
"You must hang this banner when you take it home, and you must also keep the certificate of honor."
"Got it." In front of everyone, Ye Yaodong raised his hands to take it in order to show respect, and then shouted to his friends behind him, "Why are you standing there stupidly? Come here and help get something?"
When Secretary Chen saw that he turned around and was about to leave, he quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, what's the rush?"
"Ah? It's not over yet, is it? What else is there?" He turned around quickly and asked doubtfully.
Secretary Chen took out another envelope from his pocket and handed it to him with a smile, "Those grains and things just now were commendations and awards given by the county, and this envelope is a reward given to you by the museum."
"Hey, I also get double copies? Okay, okay, I didn't hand it in in vain." Ye Yaodong took the envelope and felt that it was thin and there were only a few pieces.
When I got it in front of my eyes, I glanced into the opening with my eyes closed, and immediately smiled and said thank you with understanding.
"How much does it cost, Adong?"
"Yes, how much did you pay, Adong? Let everyone know."
"Yeah, how much is it? Is it also 500 yuan?"
"It's so cool to get rich, have things to take and money to receive."
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "Maoxian, you guys think too much. However, everyone also reminded me that there is no need to give me this money. I have already got so many things, so why not use this money to build a Mazu temple together?"
This is my best effort and I will add one more merit."
The villagers were immediately surprised.
Secretary Chen was the first to respond and applauded, "Good! Adong's awareness is really high and he was the first to take the lead in making donations. This is a good thing."
"Okay!" My friends also cheered.
The villagers reacted instantly and also cheered and clapped happily.
Although I don’t know how much money is in the envelope, it can’t be one or two yuan, right?
The offer from Mazu just now was small, but it was still 500 yuan.
Shouldn't it be the same?
The tripod was also fished by A Dong, and the sea area was also discovered by A Dong and led them there, and speaking of it, he had the greatest credit.
Someone curiously asked loudly, "How much money is in it? How much did A Dong donate?"
"Yes, you haven't said how much it contains?"
The village chief took the envelope and said with a smile: "There is 50 yuan in it."
"Shh~~" was the disdainful shush of all the villagers.
The leaders were suddenly embarrassed.
The smile on the village chief's face also froze. Isn't that too embarrassing?
He smiled awkwardly, "There are many villagers, and I have a month's income as a worker. This is a reward. There is no need to go to sea and take risks..."
"Oh~ I thought it was 500 yuan~ It turned out to be 50~"
"I thought it was 500 yuan!"
"That sea area was discovered by Dongzi. Isn't 50 too little?" Ah Zheng frowned and said loudly.
"Yes, it costs 500 yuan to donate a cauldron to the Mazu Temple? Dongzi donated all the treasures under the sea." Aguang also yelled.
"That's it, can the leaders add more?"
Ye Yaodong also looked over and realized that adding a little would be better, so he would donate a little more to Mazu and lend flowers to the Buddha to add merit.
The crowd opposite must be people from the museum. One person stood up and explained: "We considered that the contribution of that sea area should be attributed to the official's publication in the newspaper and raising funds, so we gave Comrade Ye Yaodong 50 yuan.
The reward is the bronze wine cup corresponding to him."
The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. He was really good at calculations and his calculations were so clear and clear. It really can't be said that there was anything wrong with him in allocating rewards accordingly.
The villagers were immediately speechless. With this official arrangement, it was obvious that Ye Yaodong should be given all the credit for building the Mazu Temple.
The official calculation was clear and clear. The villagers also benefited and the Mazu Temple was completed. In the end, only Ye Yaodong suffered.
The villagers suddenly felt a sense of guilt in their hearts.
Several friends also looked at Ye Yaodong, feeling that they didn't know what to say. Everyone benefited, but he suffered the biggest loss.
He fished for the bronze tripod, and he also discovered the sea area. In the end, he only got those rice and flour objects, and only a little 50 yuan. The key is that he just donated the 50 yuan, which means he didn't get any benefits.
arrive.
The eyes of the masses are also sharp, and everyone feels that he has suffered a big loss. After all this, it turns out that everything is his contribution.
The villagers started talking again, "If that's the case, then A Dong has suffered a big loss... He discovered everything and picked it up..."
"Yes, in the end he only got rice, flour and washbasins..."
"He even donated 50 yuan and got nothing out of it..."
"This is really a loss for him..."
"Let the leaders compensate him a little more? Otherwise, wouldn't he be in a huge loss?"
"Yes, this is not the fault of grandma's family..."
There were discussions all around, and everyone could clearly hear it. It was the people from the museum who came back after explaining something.
This account was calculated clearly by them. One corresponds to the other, and there is nothing wrong.
"Dongzi..."
"fine."
It was impossible to give him any more compensation. It only harmed his own interests. Everyone was happy. How could those leaders give in?
Ye Yaodong had no hope of receiving much reward. How generous could these officials be? Each one of them was smarter than a ghost town.
Without expectations, there is certainly no disappointment.
Now the villagers can understand that this happened to him alone, and it is good that they cannot do good deeds without leaving their name.
Fame and fortune were gained.
To consolidate, he turned around and shouted to the villagers with a smile: "Folks, I know that the folks are complaining about me, and I feel that it is a pity that I have worked in vain, and in the end I only have rice and noodles."
"That's true, but if it takes only me to build the Mazu temple in our village, then it's worth sacrificing me. After all, Mazu is the sea god who ensures the safety of all fishermen when they go to sea. Everyone
Being able to benefit, that's the most important thing, after all, I was just lucky and got into it by mistake."
"Okay, well said, A Dong said it very well!"
"A Dong is really enlightened..."
After someone took the lead in applauding, everyone else followed suit.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong said very well. If the Mazu Temple can be completed, he will be credited with the first merit. When the time comes, his name will be the first on the merit monument. The villagers should have no objections, right?" Secretary Chen shouted happily.
The villagers also excitedly said in unison, "Okay~Okay~"
Secretary Chen was pleased and patted him on the shoulder, "Well done. I finally didn't open the back door for you in vain. If you have any questions in the future, just ask."
The villagers began to discuss the new round of plot again. Everyone at the village committee was smiling and seemed very harmonious, feeling that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.
At this moment, Aguang suddenly remembered that when his mother-in-law came to see Huimei during this period, she would murmur there from time to time.
He said that his father-in-law and Dongzi cooperated with those official jobs and agreed to give him a subsidy, but he didn't know how much he would give. He said he would definitely suffer a big loss. How much subsidy can he give in a day? How much can he earn in a day at sea?
Officials are very stingy and cannot give much. They say that their family has suffered a lot of losses. If they had known better, they would have just thrown it back into the sea instead of fishing for it. They also say that it is a thankless job...
Whenever the mother-in-law comes over, she always talks to Huimei, and he can even carry it.
To be continued...
