Ye Yaodong followed Jin Laixi to the mason's house, talked about building his own house, and took people to the piece of land he bought.

As soon as the mason saw it was a garbage pile, he said he had to submit an application report to the street office, otherwise there was so much garbage, and the fire would not be small.

At that time, I have to hire more people, and after the burning, I have to use a water pump to pump seawater to extinguish it. Fortunately, it is on the shore, which is convenient.

If it were in the suburbs, I would be worried about wild grass and the fire spreading.

Ye Yaodong disliked this matter being troublesome, and he was not a local, and had to run around, which was too strenuous, so he calculated an extra day's wages and entrusted everything to the mason to handle.

And he only needs to go to see a recent start date.

Calculating this, there are really a lot of things, and it can't start construction immediately.

Apply for burning garbage, wait for the fire to be extinguished, and then deal with the residue after burning, and then it can be done when the start date arrives.

Originally thought there was extra time, but now calculating the time is quite tight.

After chatting with the mason, he went to find a teacher to look at a recent date with the help of Jin Laixi.

I don't know when the application from the street office will be approved. One date is 5 days later, and one date is 7 days later. He didn't decide first, and then choose 1 of 2 when the time comes.

The time later is too late, too close to the day he goes back, and construction might not be seen for a few days before going back.

Hitching a ride on others is always not so convenient, and it must be based on others' time.

Next is waiting for notification, but it is not that nothing is done, just waiting.

He also has to hire a shovel truck to shovel all the garbage there into a pile, so that it can be burned faster. Otherwise, the area of two acres of land, just burning like this, the area is too big, and it is troublesome when extinguishing.

After contacting the shovel truck, he can only wait for the mason's news.

Idle, he went to the shipyard to see the progress, and then sat in the Chamber of Commerce, and the relationship with those who rented in the Chamber of Commerce made a big step forward. After all, he didn't stay here every day.

The mason's efficiency is also fast, and there was news the next day, saying that he had to go to press his handprint himself, in case the fire spread, he had to bear legal responsibility.

Ye Yaodong confirmed with the mason that the water pump had been borrowed, before going to press the handprint.

After pressing the handprint, the street office also got busy. They had to arrange the cordon in advance, and also evacuate the surrounding crowd when the time comes.

And after he pressed the handprint, he immediately arranged for the shovel truck to shovel the garbage there into a pile, and then he could start the fire when the street office notified that it could be burned.

The things coming and going here are quite strenuous, and it can't be solved in a day or two.

When it could be lit and burned, it was already 5 days later.

Ye Yaodong thought that it would take a whole day to burn, stop work for one day tomorrow, deal with the ash and garbage after burning the day after tomorrow, and happen to be able to start construction immediately.

They pulled a very long cordon around, and the range was also pulled very far. Many curious people surrounded to watch, asking what was going to be done here.

Those who knew had already helped answer that it was bought by someone and was going to deal with garbage to build a house.

Ye Yaodong held a lighter in his hand and played with it. In front of him was a flatbed cart taller than a person, which was straw used to ignite.

In front was a pile of garbage like a small hill. When the shovel truck shoveled, it specifically shoveled the garbage closer to the shore, away from nearby residences.

Except for that mountain of garbage, the soil around was also turned over once, looking exceptionally fresh and clean.

He confirmed with the people from the street office, and after it could be lit, he let people move the straw to the garbage mountain, spread a circle around, and then ignited.

Instantly, the small fire pile ignited, and he lit a circle around before retreating to the cordon.

"Brother Dong, how long will it take to burn? Can it be burned out? Some of those are seafood..."

"Burn slowly, the weather is getting hot now, it hasn't rained for a long time recently, it's quite dry, and it was shoveled into a pile yesterday, the surface is dried, burn slowly."

Whatever is left, just shovel it all into the sea when the time comes.

Anyway, the shore around is also all garbage.

There is no environmental protection now, and residential garbage is habitually thrown into the sea. Anyway, what he burned is basically nutrients.

The fire burned bigger and bigger, and more and more people were attracted by the big fire and surrounded. It was originally around the pier, and the flow of people at the pier was the largest. A pile of people beside him were discussing there.

"This empty land looks clean all of a sudden..."

"Yes, mosquitoes were flying all over the sky yesterday, and today it became fresh soil."

"It's good to burn those garbage..."

"Who has so much money, bought this land, what is it going to build?"

"It should be the man who just lit the fire, still quite young..."

"Brother Dong, after burning, can you directly let the shovel truck dig the foundation down?" the worker asked curiously.

"You are preparing to pay for me to build houses on two acres of land, right?"

"Ah?"

Ye Yaodong said: "Do you know how troublesome and expensive it is to hire a shovel truck to work? If I knew you were so idle, I would have asked you to take an iron shovel to shovel it."

"Ah? Hehe..."

"It has been agreed with the mason, according to the land range measured before, dig a small ditch and fill it with big stones as the foundation, first build the wall, and occupy the land first."

It was originally the land he bought, first circle the area, so as not to pull skin in the future. With a wall, it can be safer.

Then inside, temporarily build a two-story building, build 15 rooms, and the remaining empty land can be used to dry fish goods in the future, not afraid of being stolen, and can also take a part to grow vegetables.

In the future, if needed, it can be added continuously here. Anyway, the area is large enough.

"Then we only build 15 rooms, is it too empty?"

"So we have to circle the wall and circle the land into our own range. Otherwise, just 15 rooms, others empty there, what if we are not there and are occupied by others? Or continue to be thrown garbage by others."

He has handled the surrounding garbage well, but it is hard to guarantee that no one will run over to take advantage and occupy his land.

"Oh oh..."

The raging fire started to burn and spread from the bottom. Maybe the garbage is not flammable, it is not easy to burn. Except for the straw at the beginning, the fire was a little prosperous, and the fire was very small in the back, but it was burning there anyway.

Ye Yaodong also stood there watching, without leaving from morning to night, even eating was asked to be sent by workers.

In the middle, he also took a long wooden stick and stirred the fire, so as not to burn out. They were all daily life garbage and seafood garbage, the fire was relatively weak, and it burned slowly.

There is a gap with the expectation, he is thinking or can throw a few sweet potatoes in to roast...

"Brother Dong, the sun has set, the sky is almost dark, and it hasn't burned out yet. Originally thought there would be a raging fire, but this fire looks quite weak, only the smoke is relatively big."

"It's burning, it's better not to have a raging fire, so as not to cause a fire."

"That's true."

He estimated that it would be extinguished after pouring a few buckets of water at night.

Although there is no raging fire, there is also thick smoke, and batch after batch of people are attracted. The surrounding crowd is also changing.

Ye Yaodong has been guarding here because he is worried about accidents. It is almost dark now, but he thinks that anyway, he has waited until now, and there is no need to go back at this time. It is better to wait until it is almost burned and the water is poured on it before going home to rest.

The garbage that was originally as high as a small hill, at this time, has shrunk a big circle, and the surroundings are all black ash, and there is fire light coming out from the inside.

It wasn't until night, when it was dark, that I felt there was no fire light, only thick smoke, and he let people pump seawater to pour on it.

The sound of sizzling rang for a while, and there was thick smoke again.

To prevent the fire light from burning again, no one was watching here at night, he let people pump a little more seawater, kept pouring, stirred it open, and even the inside was wet before letting people put it away with peace of mind.

Ye Yaodong smiled and handed a pack of cigarettes to the mason, "Hard work, master, anyway, the people who came today didn't work and counted wages, rest for one day tomorrow, we happen to have a date to start construction the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, we will come over at 7 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I have to trouble you next."

"Easy to say..."

After sending everyone away, he let his own workers collect the cordon made of bamboo poles inward.

Just insert the bamboo poles into the range where they want to build the wall, and use ready-made tools to circle the land first, and then they can build the wall directly the day after tomorrow.

Everyone got busy for a while and did the aftermath work.

He checked the fire pile again with worry, let people stir it open with bamboo poles, and every place was wet before taking people back with peace of mind.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what if.

Setting fire to the mountain, sitting in prison, not to mention setting fire to the house.

After Ye Yaodong went back, he said to several people: "Maybe after starting construction, I will go back in a few days. At that time, I will pay you a month's wages in advance, so that you can also have living expenses."

"But you also restrain a little, don't spend it indiscriminately, I may have to wait until September to come up, and then pay you the remaining two months' wages."

"And these few months, you only need to go to supervise the foreman to work, and then report the progress to me by phone every two days. Of course, I will reimburse you for the phone bill. I will write the home phone to you in a while."

"And these two days, I will let people pull a part of cement, sand, and bricks to the construction site. You have to take turns to shift, and two people go there to watch at night, so as not to be stolen."

"I will also settle a part of the work payment, and if follow-up work payment is needed, I will directly remit it to the foreman."

Several people listened and nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood, and had heard about it before.

Ye Yaodong was just worried, so he exhorted again. Although he was not here, he could only leave it to the workers to watch.

It has been seven or eight days since I came up, and I have been busy with this matter. Tomorrow happens to be empty for one day. I have to find the person to ask when to set off, so that I can have a count in my heart.

After saying that, he took paper and pen to write the phone number to them, and also wrote one on the wall by the way.

There are patterns and characters painted on the surrounding walls, and there are also some numbers, but they are painted out, looking like phone numbers.

"Wrote it here, everyone can see it, if you have anything, anyone can call me."

"Know it, Brother Dong."

"Hmm, rest early."

Early the next morning, he took three people to the construction site to see it, everything was normal, and then left two people there to watch, and went to find the person himself.

Went to the person's house to ask, but he was not there, and then he went to the factory, just met at the door.

"Where to go?"

"Just want to find you..."

"Are you setting off in these two days?"

"Yes, want to tell you, it is expected to set off in three days. A cousin of mine sets off tomorrow. If you are in a hurry, you can follow together... but he is going to the provincial capital, you still have to take a car back yourself when you get off the car..."

"No, I will wait for you together, just happen that the things in hand are not finished yet, it is just right to set off with you in three days."

"Okay, then it will be around four o'clock in the morning in three days, just happen that it will be almost dawn."

"No problem."

Although the time is a bit tight, it is barely okay. Anyway, construction starts tomorrow, stay for two days to see, no problem, just go back with him.

"Are you busy with your piece these two days? Built or not?"

"Burned the garbage yesterday, started building tomorrow, three days later is just right, the time is tight, but it doesn't matter as long as there is no problem."

"That's just right, I have nothing to do, go with you to see it? Where is the land? When the house is built, I will know where to find people."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong took him to the construction site again, and told him about the location of the land he bought on the way.

After the person saw the land, he also praised him for his vision, praised him for buying this land well, just happen to be near the pier.

The pier is constantly being rectified in these two years, and he started at the right time.

Ye Yaodong also felt that he was smart, occupied a piece of land in the name of a loan in advance, and it was considered famous.

Now rectify the land, and it also saves the garbage stacking from affecting the surrounding development.

The local government should give him a best citizen award.

After strolling and chatting with the person for a whole morning, and eating lunch together, he went to the shipyard again.

Just a few days ago, I had free time to see the progress, and now I have to go back in a few days, so I went to see it again in the afternoon.

When the time comes to go back, I will take another look. Since people are here, I must go a few more times, so as not to make people think he doesn't value it.

He has been running around since he came up, and there is no day that is idle. There are things waiting for him to handle, and Ye Yaodong is also busy without touching his feet.

He ordered a fresh-collecting boat of 40 meters at the shipyard, and ordered 4 models of the same style as Dongsheng.

These 5 boats have started construction at the same time, and are doing it. It is estimated that they should be handed over before New Year's Day. The efficiency of the state-owned factory is still okay.

When construction started the next day, he got up early and ran to set off firecrackers, and then found a piece of broken cloth and sat on the ground watching the mason take people to work, first dealing with the garbage residue burned the day before yesterday.

After bricks, stones, and sand were pulled over, he immediately settled the account.

"Finally started construction, you start to shift at night, take turns sleeping here to watch the construction site."

"Know it."

"Fortunately, it is the end of May, the weather is getting hot, move a mat over at night, and it is comfortable to sleep here."

"Yes, it happens that the weather is getting hot, and it is comfortable to sleep with a thin quilt in the open air."

"I will go back in two days, here it is left to you to watch and record the number of people. If the family is not busy, and there is a hitchhike, maybe I will come up again in a month or so to see the progress."

"Okay, Brother Dong."

Ye Yaodong looked at the dozen workers working in vests in front, thought about it, everything that should be explained has been explained, so he didn't say much.

This trip up is considered to have achieved the goal.

With so many workers working together, the garbage residue was processed in one or two hours.

In the afternoon, the edge range can also dig a small ditch, fill it with big stones, and pour cement. Dry for one night, and it should be able to build the wall tomorrow morning.

By the time he leaves the day after tomorrow, he should be able to see the bricks built halfway.

As long as there is good weather and enough manpower, building a house is still very fast.

These two days, when the person and Jin Laixi are idle, they will occasionally come to see it and chat with him for a few words.

Ye Yaodong is also supervising here every day when he is idle, watching the progress of the construction site. Anyway, he has nothing to do, and he came up for this.

The mason introduced by Jin Laixi is also reliable, and he doesn't need to worry about anything after two days of construction, just watching the bricks being built little by little.

On the evening before departure, the wall had already been built halfway.

And he also called home in the evening, saying that he would take a car back early the next morning.

However, it might stop and start on the road, but it won't be delayed for too long, at most one or two days, which is what the person said.

The phone was already full of joy, and a bunch of people were talking.

It happened to be the time for the family to eat dinner when he called back, and everyone was complete.

"Really? Coming back tomorrow?" Lin Xiuqing was extremely surprised.

The old lady also said happily: "Dongzi is coming back tomorrow? Great, this child didn't lie this time..."

"Can come back in just over ten days? Faster than going to sea?" Ye Mu was also surprised that his trip was so fast.

"Dad, are you coming back tomorrow? Remember to bring gifts..."

"Dad, tomorrow is Children's Day..."

"Dad, I want something delicious..."

Everyone was talking on the phone, one sentence after another, Ye Yaodong didn't know who to answer.

"Still have to be delayed on the road, maybe arrive home the day after tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow."

Ye Chenghu squeezed the most fiercely, shouting at the phone, "Dad, remember..."

"Do you want a hammer? Beat you to death, just thinking about eating and playing, but it will be summer vacation in half a month, buy a pile of homework for you to go back and write..."

"Dad, I don't want it, I don't want anything..."

"Then I don't want to come back either?"

"This is not what I said, this is what you said, I didn't say that..."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, changed the phone to the other ear and said: "Is everything smooth? Haven't called back for two days, how is the progress?"

"The outer wall has been built halfway, the wall can be built in half a day tomorrow, and there is nothing else, let the workers continue to work, anyway, people are left to supervise, the time is just right."

"It's been 20 days since I went out until tomorrow, all delayed on the road..."

Just after Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, the old lady snatched it again: "Since you want to come back, don't say a day earlier, so you can spend the festival at home..."

"How can I come back whenever I want, that also depends on other people's time."

The person set off after the Dragon Boat Festival, and he must have wanted to go on a long trip after the festival.

"Then today is the Dragon Boat Festival, did you eat zongzi? You have to fix something delicious outside, spend a festival..."

"Where is the time to spend the festival, just be casual when you are away from home."

"You child, you don't know how to take care of yourself when you go out..."

"It's almost dark here, the shop is going to close, can't talk anymore, I'll hang up first."

Lin Xiuqing responded: "Okay, wait until you come back and talk."

After Ye Yaodong hung up the phone, his mood was also very good. He could go home soon. A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as his own dog nest.

It's just a pity that I missed the Dragon Boat Festival. I originally thought I could go back before the Dragon Boat Festival and watch the dragon boat race. I heard that there is a dragon boat race this year, and the county has been practicing for a month in advance.

In the past two years, their surrounding area has begun to have a cultural renaissance, and some customs that were broken before have begun to be picked up slowly.

Like the Lantern Festival, it is also a big event. This year's Dragon Boat Festival also started dragon boat racing, and the birthday of Mazu, their village started a big event a few years ago.

The rise of these customs and entertainment activities also shows that the masses have begun to live a good life gradually.

This year's birthday of Mazu, he also missed it at sea.

But fortunately, the millennium festival of Mazu is on the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th, which is the day Mazu feathered and ascended to heaven.

It doesn't matter if you miss the birthday, just don't miss the big day of the millennium of feathering and ascending.

However, I haven't heard of any planning here, and I don't know if it's because the time is still early, or although there is belief here, the local government may not attach so much importance to it at this time.

After all, Mazu is a person from Fujian Province. Although the coastal area has belief, the most belief belongs to the people of Fujian Province.

People in Fujian Province believe in all Buddhas.

And Southeast Asia and the Wanwan region, after all, those years of closure, foreign countries have been developing, and the Mazu cultural industry has been more prosperous than domestic ones in those years.

Anyway, when the day comes, even if they are outside, they must go back collectively.

A few days ago, I heard Aqing mention it on the phone, saying that Chen Shuji came to find him, wanting to tell him about the Mazu Millennium Festival in advance.

But he was not at home. At that time, Chen Shuji was very worried that he would stay outside for several months. After hearing Aqing guarantee that he would stay for more than 10 days and come back, he was relieved.

Listening to Aqing, Chen Shuji went to the county to hold a meeting and also brought up the Millennium Festival, and the county also attached great importance to it, saying that it should be a big event.

And their village has the largest Tianhou Palace in the whole county, and the birthday of Mazu every year is very grand and lively, which is also a model in the county.

Although all parts of the county have also gone to repair the Mazu Temple, they are all broken small temples that are slightly repaired, which can only let people avoid rain and incense, but there is no big financial support for big construction.

Other places are called Mazu Temple, and their village is called Tianhou Palace.

Chen Shuji came to find him at this time, of course, not just to discuss, he must mention the matter of initiating donations. He is the number one figure in the village. If he wants to donate, he must put in great effort.

However, he is not disgusted. Donating to Mazu is definitely a matter that must be put in great effort.

Last year, he thought about earning more money to reshape Mazu's golden body, and the Millennium Festival would be glorious. Last year, he really realized the wish of earning big money, and of course, he had to fulfill his promise this year.

It is estimated that when he goes back in these two days, Chen Shuji will definitely come to the door for the first time.

And during this time, should the Millennium Festival four months later have begun to be planned?

He walked and thought about the things to be handled after going back. This matter is considered the top priority.

He didn't think about this matter before leaving, or called back, Aqing told him, and he remembered this big event.

In these few months, he was really busy without stopping for a moment, either at sea or busy with goods, and didn't think much about it. Only when Mazu's birthday was there, he thought about it, but felt it was still early.

Indeed, there are only 4 months left now, and it must be prepared in advance.

In previous years, the birthday was organized by the village. The significance of the Millennium Festival is extraordinary, so Chen Shuji brought it up when he went to the county to hold a meeting.

When the time comes, it will be organized by the county government to start a big event, which will definitely get a lot of media and newspaper attention, and their village will definitely be famous again.

Chen Shuji has done big things every year in these few years. When he went to the county to receive commendations before, he heard that he was also commended every year, and his political achievements were remarkable.

It is estimated that he can't do it for two years, and he should be promoted, right?

After all, the managed village has political achievements every year, and there are brilliant things every year, even the birthday of Mazu is handled so well every year.

Now promotion is also very simple, no need to rely on diplomas, no need to take exams, as long as political achievements are good or there is a relationship, it is very easy to be promoted.

However, before promotion, his party member status must be implemented. Maybe he can also give him a recommendation and get a small official to take charge, which will be glorious to his ancestors.

That is really more than just the ancestral grave smoking, it must be thick smoke, and the ancestors in the underground must laugh and crawl up, sitting and letting him kowtow.

However, this is still a distant matter, just dream about it.

Ye Yaodong walked and thought about how much money it is appropriate to donate after going back.

Now the gold price is more than 70 yuan per gram, and one jin is the bottom line, although the extension of gold is very high...

After going back tomorrow, I have to discuss it with Aqing and persuade her to donate heavily.

He felt that this was not a big problem. He had already given her a vaccination last year. If he talked seriously, she would agree.

Ye Yaodong had already decided how much money to donate when he stepped into the rental house. He was definitely the first in the whole village. As for whether it would be the first in the whole town and county, that could not be guaranteed. Let's see when the time comes.

"Brother Dong, what are you thinking about? Still distracted when entering the door?"

"Hahaha, must be looking forward to going back tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong said: "No, I thought of the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th, which is also the Millennium Festival of Mazu's ascension. I heard that the county organized a big event this year. When we go up, we must go back."

"That's for sure, worshiping Mazu must be active! I will crawl back even if I crawl, hahaha..."

"Then let you crawl back!"

"Isn't this still early?"

"I have to start donating when I go back."

"Brother Dong, how much are you going to donate?"

"Guess!"
