Chapter 606
No wonder Chinese people like to discuss things at the dinner table. Clinking glasses at the dinner table is indeed the best way to get closer.
In just the time it took for a meal, Ye Yaodong had become familiar with all of them, almost to the point of putting his arms around their shoulders and calling them brothers.
However, this kind of relationship at the dinner table is only temporary, and he has no way to maintain it with frequent visits.
In this day and age, basic communication relies entirely on letters, and everyone is very simple. Anyway, being able to get a familiar face and leave a deep impression on people is already not bad. In case something happens, it will be easier to handle.
Walking all the way to the pier, the smell of alcohol on everyone had almost dissipated, and it was very dark, so no one wanted to delay any longer.
Chen Shuji greeted the fellow villagers who were watching the excitement around there to help together, and a large group of people worked together to lift the sea monster onto the tractor.
Moreover, they also used ropes to tightly fix the sea monster on the tractor to prevent it from falling off due to bumps and its large size.
After everything was done, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Director Chen smiled and greeted them, leaving first.
Ye Yaodong said regretfully, "It's really too late today, and Director Chen is busy and must rush back. Otherwise, we could have had a few more drinks and stayed here for the night. It wouldn't be so rushed to go back tomorrow, and it would be safer."
"Thank you, thank you for your hospitality tonight, I have noted it down. I have left you my number. If you encounter any difficulties or things, you can call me."
"Okay, okay, thank you Director Chen."
Whether it's sincere or polite, anyway, I'm just waiting for these words!
Ye Yaodong happily accepted these words, and while speaking, he followed by their side, sending them to the car.
However, what are those things on the sidecar motorcycle?
Ye Yaodong widened his eyes and stared at them. Damn, they really know how to find a place to sit. He hadn't even sat in this kind of sidecar motorcycle, and these dogs were already enjoying it?
The dogs looked innocently at the people walking toward them, without any self-awareness of being outsiders and occupying the nest, bah, it's a dog!
People had already walked up to them, but they still sat motionless in the motorcycle's sidecar, not moving at all, just refusing to come down...
Not only did Ye Yaodong discover it, but others also saw it. Director Chen laughed loudly, "Your dogs really know how to enjoy themselves, and they really know how to find a place to nest."
The people next to him also said with a smile, "They are indeed quite smart, and they even know how to take advantage of the motorcycle before we leave, sit for a while, and have some fun."
Ye Fu smiled and scolded the dogs, "Why don't you come down quickly, the leaders are leaving."
"Woof woo~"
(No~)
Seeing the dogs bark at them and still not move, Ye Fu was speechless.
"Come down quickly! Did you hear me?"
Some of the dogs turned their heads to the side, and some simply lowered their heads. This time they didn't even bark.
Ye Yaodong was also almost angered into laughter by them. How did they become so cheeky?
He didn't know how the two boys at home trained them to be taught to be so smart.
Those leaders also found it interesting and didn't mind at all, still laughing loudly there.
It's just that this is not a solution, it delays people from going back.
Ye Yaodong pulled a long face and shouted at them, "Come down immediately, otherwise, I'll take you home with the leaders and cook a dog meat hot pot! It's winter, just right to kill you to nourish the leaders!"
"Woof woof woof woof woof~"
(Dog meat hot pot again~)
The dogs seemed to understand, or were frightened by his expression and tone. This time they didn't shrink there anymore, and all jumped down from the sidecar one after another, and even barked wildly at everyone a few times, before shrinking back to Ye Yaodong's feet.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said to Director Chen and the others, "Sorry, the dogs at home are too naughty and delayed your return."
"It's okay, it was only for a short while, and it was interesting to watch."
"Speaking of puppies, our local dogs are still the best, smart and spiritual, easy to train and easy to raise."
"Isn't that so, Comrade Ye Yaodong must keep an eye on them. Don't let your dogs be taken away by someone with a rope, otherwise it would be a pity."
"Hehe, definitely. Whoever dares to steal my dogs, I will break their dog paws first."
Originally, when Ah Guang and the others caught the mother dog, they still wanted to stew it and eat it. Later, after it gave birth to puppies, how could he allow it? They had been raised for several months, so they all had feelings.
After he distributed the puppies to them one by one, who would be willing to stew them and eat them now?
Although dog meat hot pot is very fragrant, they couldn't raise any interest and couldn't bring themselves to kill them anymore.
However, if someone killed a wild dog and cooked it well and asked them to eat it, they naturally wouldn't refuse, after all, it's meat.
This episode with the dogs seemed to have brought their relationship closer. When getting into the car, everyone waved their hands with smiles, and even said that when Mazu's birthday comes, they will definitely come over to his house to sit for a while.
Ye Yaodong also sent them away with a beaming smile.
And the Zhou brothers on the side also had dry smiles on their faces, but no one paid attention to them, as if they were just tools.
It wasn't until the people left that they pulled the village cadres and asked, "Village head, Secretary, this sea monster was taken away by them, so what about the subsidy... when will it be given to us?"
"What's the rush? It will definitely not be less for you, just wait a few days. The postman will definitely send it over then. If it goes to the village committee, I will send it to you then."
"Hey, okay, then how many days will it take?"
"At the fastest, it will be ten days or half a month later, maybe a month. Hey? No, there is less than a month until New Year. There must be a holiday for New Year, so maybe we have to wait until after the New Year."
"Ah? Have to wait until after the New Year? So long..." The brothers looked at each other.
"It was originally like this, everything must have a procedure. Adong also waited for nearly a month before it was issued. You just wait, it won't be missing from you."
"Sigh, this is too long."
"You don't need money urgently, what are you rushing for?"
Zhou Da smiled awkwardly, "Isn't it because I want to get it in my pocket early and feel at ease early?"
"Just rest assured, what belongs to you will definitely not be missing." Chen Shuji's tone was gentler than the village head's.
"Then... then how much subsidy can you give us?"
"This has stumped us. How will it be approved from above? We don't know either."
"Sigh~ Why didn't I have the guts to ask a few questions just now? Now I can only wait blindly." Zhou Da said regretfully.
Ye Yaodong pouted. He had no courage, was timid, and didn't dare to speak up, so he couldn't blame others.
However, even if they asked, people probably wouldn't give a definite answer. Anyway, how much they give will be decided by them, so asking is in vain.
The fellow villagers who were watching the excitement, after the tractor and motorcycle drove away one after another, also walked toward the village noisily.
Ye Yaodong also greeted his dogs and walked toward his home.
"Tell me, why are you so shameless? Also, thick skin, can eat enough! I haven't even sat in this kind of sidecar motorcycle, and you have already taken the car one step ahead. Good dogs!"
"Woof woof~"
"It's a pity, I don't have time to take you up the mountain, otherwise, maybe you could catch a few pheasants and rabbits for me to add to the meal."
"Woof woof woof~"
"Why are you running, walk slower. Just finished eating, walking too fast will cause stomach pain."
Ye Yaodong walked slowly and leisurely, and the Zhou brothers behind him also followed him with a light run, and by the way, asked him how much subsidy he got when he donated the tripod?
Have to ask about a few dozen yuan?
Ye Yaodong blinked, but the thought only lasted for a moment. After thinking about it, he understood. Which family has such a thick family foundation as he does now?
One or two yuan can buy a lot of things, who is not short of money?
He is also short of money!
"50 yuan! But they also gave a glorious banner, which is still hanging in my main hall. Hmm... and there are a lot of miscellaneous things, basins, thermos bottles, enamel mugs, rice and flour, etc., all kinds of things. Inside, there are subsidies from the county government, and subsidies from our village committee. There are quite a lot of subsidies, and they add up to quite a bit."
"However, my situation is different from yours, it's hard to say, and you shouldn't use it as a reference. You will know after a while when the subsidy comes down. Anyway, it's not working for nothing."
"Hey, okay..."
After hearing him count a few items, they also felt more at ease. It sounded like a lot.
Zhou Da smiled, "How did you know Director Chen? You look quite familiar? No wonder you could suggest I contact the newspaper and the Fisheries Bureau."
"Just met by accident once, didn't expect Director Chen to be a busy person and still remember me."
"Hehe, can't tell, thought you had known each other for a long time. You are also amazing, being able to invite people to your home for a meal."
"What's this, just be a little thicker-skinned..."
Several people chatted while walking, anyway, they were all neighbors, just next door, and it was on the way.
Although the Zhou brothers felt as if they had been intercepted, they also felt that it was a matter of course?
Anyway, with their simple brains, they didn't figure out which link went wrong?
And the things had already been handed in, which could be considered a perfect way to handle it, not stuck in their hands. They just had to wait for the subsidy to come down.
When Ye Yaodong returned home, his mother and aunt were still there killing fish.
He hurriedly squatted down and rarely said a good word, "Mother, thank you for your hard work!"
When Ye Mu heard this, the knife for killing fish directly cut her hand. She hurriedly put it into her mouth and sucked it.
"Did you take the wrong medicine, or did you drink too much? You scared me for no reason."
Ye Yaodong: "???"
"What's wrong? Where did I say it wrong? Isn't this just wanting to say a word of concern?"
Ye Mu rolled her eyes at him, "Less of that, coming back from work every day to kill fish and do work for you, never saw you say a nice word. Today you suddenly popped out a sentence, almost scared me to death. Did your conscience discover it?"
"Huh? So my conscience discovered it just like that? Then I say I love you, your knife will probably fall on your foot?"
"What are you saying? No seriousness, only knowing how to talk back every day, never saw you say a few good words. Today you suddenly popped out so many good words, what do you want to do? Aqing won't give you money?"
