Chapter 414
Ye Yaodong was called to stop in front of everyone. Seeing everyone's eyes staring at him, he was not embarrassed, and smiled and waved at everyone shamelessly, walking to the front.
"Is there my reward too, Chen Shuji? That's really great, thank you very much, leader."
Those leaders also smiled and nodded, but didn't speak, leaving everything to the village head to handle.
When Chen Shuji called him to stop, he had already asked the village committee staff to go inside and take out some rewards, certificates, and banners that were to be given to him.
"Adong, these are the rewards given to you by the county, as well as commendations..."
The villagers in the crowd stretched their necks and looked curiously.
"Oh my, there's a hot water bottle, and a washbasin, an enamel mug..."
"And two big bags of flour... eh~ no, it's a bag of rice, a bag of flour."
"That's quite a lot of rewards..."
"But no money was given..."
"No money?"
Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. It was really close to what he guessed.
Ah~ no, there's an extra black notebook, and a fountain pen. What a surprise!
These things together are worth a few dozen yuan, which can be considered passable. The key is that there are many things, and it looks good to carry them back.
"Thank you very much."
"This banner must be hung well when you take it home, and the certificate of honor must also be kept well."
"Understood," Ye Yaodong, in front of everyone, raised his hands to receive it to show respect, and then shouted to the friends behind him, "Why are you standing there like fools? Come over and help carry things?"
Seeing that he turned around and intended to leave, Chen Shuji hurriedly called him to stop again, "Wait, what's the rush?"
"Ah? It's not over yet? What else?" He hurriedly turned around and asked suspiciously.
Chen Shuji took an envelope out of his pocket again and handed it to him with a smile, "The grain and things just now are the commendation rewards given by the county. This envelope is the reward given to you by the museum."
"Yo, I'm also getting a double share? Okay, okay, didn't hand it in in vain." Ye Yaodong took the envelope and felt it was thin, without many sheets.
Holding it in front of his eyes, he squinted and glanced into the opening, then smiled and said thank you knowingly.
"How much money is it, Adong?"
"Yes, how much money did you get, Adong? Tell everyone about it."
"Yes, how much is it? Is it also 500 yuan?"
"Rich, got things and money, so cool."
Ye Yaodong chuckled twice, "Nonsense, you guys think too much. However, you also reminded me. There's no need to give me this money. I've already got so many things. It's better to take this money to build Mazu Temple together, which can be considered my contribution, and add another share of merit."
The villagers were suddenly surprised.
Chen Shuji was the first to react and applaud, "Good! Adong's awareness is really high, taking the lead in donating money, this is a good thing."
"Good!" The friends also followed and cheered.
The villagers also reacted instantly, and also followed happily and applauded.
Although I don't know how much money is in the envelope, it can't be one or two yuan, right?
The one given by Mazu just now was less, but it was still 500 yuan.
Could it be the same?
That tripod was also salvaged by Adong, and the sea area was also discovered by Adong leading them there. Speaking of which, his credit is the greatest.
Someone asked curiously again loudly, "How much money is inside? How much did Adong donate?"
"Yes, haven't said how much money is inside yet?"
The village head took the envelope and said with a smile: "Inside is 50 yuan."
"Shhh~~~" was the disdainful shhh of all the villagers.
The leaders were also a bit embarrassed.
The smile on the village head's face also stiffened. Isn't this too disrespectful?
He smiled awkwardly, "It's not a little, fellow villagers, it's also a worker's monthly income. This is a reward, no need to take risks at sea..."
"Sigh~ I thought there was 500 yuan~ turns out it was only 50~"
"I also thought there was 500 yuan!"
"That sea area was discovered by Dongzi, is 50 too little?" Ah Zheng frowned and said loudly.
"Yes, donating a tripod to Mazu Temple has 500 yuan? Dongzi donated all the treasures on the seabed." Ah Guang also shouted.
"Exactly, leaders, add some more?"
Ye Yaodong also looked over. It would be better if they could add some more. Then he would donate more to Mazu, borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha and adding merit.
In the crowd opposite, it should be the people from the museum. One stood out and explained: "We considered that the credit for contributing that sea area was attributed to the official coming forward to publish in the newspaper and raise funds, so we gave Comrade Ye Yaodong a reward of 50 yuan. This reward corresponds to his bronze wine cup."
Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. They really know how to calculate, calculating very clearly and clearly. You really can't say that his corresponding distribution of rewards is problematic.
The villagers suddenly had nothing to say. The official arrangement was obviously to attribute all of Ye Yaodong's credit to building Mazu Temple.
The official calculated clearly and clearly, the villagers also benefited, and the Mazu Temple was completed. In the end, the only one who suffered was Ye Yaodong.
A sense of guilt arose in the hearts of the fellow villagers.
Several friends also looked at Ye Yaodong, feeling that they didn't know what to say. Everyone benefited, only he suffered a big loss.
The bronze tripod was salvaged by him, and the sea area was also discovered by him. As a result, he only got those rice and flour items, and only a small 50 yuan. The key is that he just donated this 50 yuan, which is equivalent to getting no benefits at all.
The eyes of the masses are also sharp. Everyone also felt that he suffered a big loss. After this circle, everything was contributed by him.
The fellow villagers started discussing again, "If calculated this way, Adong suffered a big loss... everything was discovered and salvaged by him..."
"Yes, as a result, he only got rice, flour, washbasins and those..."
"He even donated the 50 yuan, getting no benefits at all..."
"This way, he really suffered..."
"Let those leaders compensate him a little more? Otherwise, wouldn't he suffer too much?"
"Yes, this is suffering to the grandmother's house..."
There were discussions all around, and everyone heard it clearly. It was after the museum people explained and retreated into the crowd.
This account was calculated clearly by them, one corresponding to one, and there was no mistake.
"Dongzi..."
"It's okay."
Compensation is impossible to give again. It only damaged his own interests, and everyone was happy. How could those leaders back down?
Ye Yaodong originally didn't hope to get much reward. How generous can these officials be? Each one is smarter than a ghost.
Without expectation, there is of course no disappointment.
Now that the villagers can understand that this matter caused him to suffer alone, it's good. Can't do good deeds without leaving a name.
Both fame and fortune were obtained.
In order to consolidate, he turned around and smiled and said loudly to the villagers: "Fellow villagers, I know that fellow villagers are all feeling unfair for me, feeling that it's a pity that I worked in vain, and in the end only got rice and flour."
"It is indeed so, but if I suffer alone, and can let our village's Mazu Temple be built, sacrifice me alone, then sacrifice me alone, it's worth it. After all, Mazu is the sea god who protects all fishermen to go to sea safely. Everyone can benefit, which is the most important thing. After all, I was lucky and bumped into it by accident."
"Good, well said, Adong said it too well!"
"Adong really has too much awareness..."
After someone took the lead in applauding, everyone followed and applauded.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong said it very well. If the Mazu Temple can be completed, he will be credited with the first merit. At that time, his name will be ranked first on the merit monument. Fellow villagers should have no opinion, right?" Chen Shuji shouted happily.
The fellow villagers also excitedly said in unison, "Good~ good~"
Chen Shuji patted his shoulder with gratification, "Well done, finally didn't open the back door for you in vain. If you have anything in the future, just mention it."
The fellow villagers started discussing a new round of plot again, and everyone on the village committee side also had smiles on their faces, looking very harmonious, feeling that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved.
At this time, Ah Guang suddenly thought that his mother-in-law had been whispering there from time to time when she came to see Huimei during this period.
Saying that his father-in-law and Dongzi cooperated with those officials' work, and it was agreed that there would be subsidies, but didn't know how much would be given. Saying that they must have suffered a big loss. How much can a day's subsidy give? How much can you earn in a day at sea?
Officials are all stingy, and definitely can't give much. Saying that their family suffered a big loss, if they knew earlier, they shouldn't have salvaged that tripod, just throw it back into the sea. And saying something about working hard and not being appreciated...
As long as the mother-in-law came over, she didn't say less to Huimei, and he could recite it.
He couldn't help but say to Chen Shuji: "Chen Shuji, these commendation rewards have all been given. Although he didn't get anything, isn't there still a subsidy? When will the subsidy be given to Dongzi?"
"He has already suffered a big loss, contributing everything to Mazu Temple. The subsidy you should give cannot be less, and you must give more, give higher! Can't let the masses feel cold, you say so, fellow villagers?"
"He has been cooperating and hasn't gone to sea during this period, and it has been ten days from beginning to end. You must know that he can earn dozens of yuan a day by trawling at sea."
This reward is a reward, and the subsidy is a subsidy. The two cannot be confused, and cannot be directly fooled by these officials!
Others also echoed and said a few words.
The fellow villagers also echoed one after another, "Yes, there is still a subsidy? The subsidy cannot be less!"
"Yes, you have already let him suffer, you must give more subsidies."
"I heard that there are a few soldiers living in his house. This food expense must be given a little, right?"
"Yes, you can't count this money as gone..."
Ye Yaodong also looked at the village committee and those county leaders. The subsidy that should be his definitely cannot be less.
The previous credit given to Mazu is nothing, and he is willing to do it, as a merit, which is also a good thing.
Reborn, he should have repaid Mazu, and taking this opportunity is just right.
But the subsidy is the subsidy. Those days of cooperating with the work, although he also found some compensation for himself by fishing and setting nets, what should be given to him absolutely cannot be less.
Having a few yuan is a few yuan, which is also what he deserves. When he should contribute, he will be generous, but what he deserves must also be given.
