Ye Yaodong was called out in public. Seeing everyone staring at him, he was not embarrassed. He smiled and waved his hand shamelessly at everyone, and walked to the front.
"And my reward, Secretary Chen? That's great. Thank you so much, leader."
Those leaders also pretended to smile and nodded, but did not say anything, leaving the matter to the village chief.
When Secretary Chen called him, he had already asked the staff of the village committee to go inside and get out the rewards, certificates, banners, etc. that were going to be given to him.
"Adong, these are the rewards and commendations given to you by the county..."
The villagers in the crowd stretched their necks and looked curiously.
"Oh, there are thermoses, washbasins, enamel pots..."
"There are two big bags of flour... Oh, no, it's one bag of rice and one bag of flour."
"That's a lot of rewards..."
“But I didn’t give you any money…”
"No money?"
The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. It was almost exactly what he guessed.
Oh ~ no, there is an extra black notebook and a pen, what a surprise!
These things combined are worth a few dozen dollars, which is okay. The key is that there are a lot of things, and they look good when they are taken home.
"Thank you very much."
"Take this banner home and hang it up properly, and keep the certificate of honor well, too."
"Got it," Ye Yaodong took it with both hands raised in front of everyone to show respect, then shouted to his friend behind him, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come over and help me carry the things."
Secretary Chen saw him turning around and about to leave, so he quickly called out to him, "Wait a minute, what's the hurry?"
"Ah? It's not over yet? What else?" He turned around quickly and asked in confusion.
Secretary Chen took out another envelope from his pocket and handed it to him with a smile, "The food and other things just now were rewards from the county. This envelope is a reward from the museum."
"Youhe, can I get a double portion too? Sure, sure. It won't be in vain." Ye Yaodong took the envelope and felt it was thin, with only a few pages in it.
He took it in front of him, took a look inside the hole, and immediately understood it with a smile and said thank you.
"How much is it, Dong?"
"Yeah, how much money did you get, Dong? Tell us all."
"Yeah, how much is it? Is it 500 yuan too?"
"I've made a fortune. I have things to get and money to receive. It's so cool."
Ye Yaodong chuckled twice, "What the hell, you guys are overthinking it. But everyone reminded me that it's not necessary to give me this money. I've already got so many things. I might as well use this money to build a Mazu temple. It can be regarded as my contribution and add more merit."
The villagers were immediately surprised.
Secretary Chen was the first to react and applauded, "Good! Ah Dong is really conscious and is the first to take the lead in donating money. This is a good thing."
"Great!" Friends also cheered.
The villagers reacted instantly and started cheering and applauding happily.
Although I don’t know how much money is in the envelope, it can’t be just one or two dollars, right
The amount given by Mazu just now was not much, but it was at least 500 yuan.
Wouldn't it be the same
The tripod was also fished out by Adong, and it was Adong who discovered the sea area and brought them there, so in general, he made the greatest contribution.
Someone asked out of curiosity, "How much money is there? How much did Adong donate?"
"Yeah, you haven't told me how much money is in it yet?"
The village chief took the envelope and said with a smile, "There's 50 yuan in it."
"Sh ...
The leaders were also a little embarrassed.
The smile on the village chief's face froze. Isn't this too disrespectful
He smiled awkwardly, "It's not bad, folks. It's also a worker's monthly income. This is a reward. I don't need to go out to sea and take risks..."
"Oh~ I thought it was 500 yuan~ It turns out it's only 50~"
“I thought it was 500 yuan!”
"That sea area was discovered by Dongzi. Isn't 50 too little?" A Zheng said loudly with a frown.
"Yes, donating a tripod to the Mazu Temple costs 500 yuan. Dongzi donated all the treasures in the seabed." A Guang also shouted.
"That's right, leaders, can you give us some more?"
Ye Yaodong also looked over and thought that if he could only add a little more, it would be better. So he would donate more to Mazu to increase his merit.
Someone in the crowd opposite should be from the museum. One of them stepped forward and explained, "We considered that the credit for the contribution of that sea area should be attributed to the official fundraising campaign, so we gave Comrade Ye Yaodong a reward of 50 yuan. This reward is for his bronze wine cup."
The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. He was really good at calculating. His calculations were very clear and understandable. It really couldn't be said that there was anything wrong with his corresponding distribution of rewards.
The villagers were speechless immediately. The official arrangement was obviously to attribute all the credit to Ye Yaodong for building the Mazu temple.
The official calculations were clear and explicit. The villagers benefited, the Mazu Temple was built, and the only one who suffered a loss was Ye Yaodong.
The villagers suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
Several friends also looked at Ye Yaodong, and they all felt like they didn’t know what to say. Everyone benefited, but he was the only one who suffered a huge loss.
He was the one who fished out the bronze tripod, and he also discovered the sea area, but in the end he only got those rice and flour items, and a small amount of 50 yuan. The key point is that he just donated this 50 yuan, which means he got nothing.
The public has sharp eyes and everyone thinks that he has suffered a huge loss. After all this, it turns out that everything was contributed by him.
The villagers started discussing again, "If that's the case, then Adong is at a big loss... He discovered everything and got everything..."
"Yeah, in the end he only got rice, flour, basins, etc..."
"He didn't even donate 50 yuan, but got nothing in return..."
"This is a loss for him..."
"Let those leaders compensate him a little more, right? Otherwise, wouldn't he be at a huge disadvantage?"
"Yeah, this is not a loss to my grandma..."
There were discussions all around, and everyone could hear clearly that the crowd retreated after the museum staff explained.
They have made this account very clear, one for each, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Dongzi..."
"fine."
It is impossible to give any more compensation. It only damaged his interests. Everyone is happy. How can those leaders give in
Ye Yaodong had never expected to get much reward. How generous could these officials be? Each of them was smarter than a ghost.
Without expectations, there will certainly be no disappointment.
Now the villagers understand that he is the only one who suffered in this matter. It’s good that one should not do good deeds without leaving a name.
He got both fame and fortune.
To consolidate his position, he turned around and said to the villagers with a smile: "Fellow villagers, I know you are all feeling sorry for me. You think it's a pity that I worked so hard for nothing and ended up with nothing but rice and flour."
"That's true, but if my sacrifice can help build the Mazu temple in our village, then it's worth sacrificing me. After all, Mazu is the sea god who protects all fishermen's safety at sea. Everyone can benefit, and that's the most important thing. After all, I was just lucky and stumbled upon it by accident."
"Okay, well said, Adong said it very well!"
"Adong is really very aware..."
After someone started clapping, everyone followed suit.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong said it very well. If the Mazu Temple can be completed, he will be credited with the greatest achievement. His name will be listed first on the monument of merit. The villagers should have no objection, right?" Secretary Chen shouted happily.
The villagers also excitedly said in unison, "Good~Good~"
Secretary Chen patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Well done, it wasn't in vain that I opened the back door for you. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know."
The villagers began to discuss the new round of plot again. Everyone on the village committee side was smiling and looked very harmonious, feeling that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.
At this moment, A Guang suddenly remembered that his mother-in-law had been muttering from time to time when she came to see Huimei during this period.
He said that his father-in-law cooperated with the officials and agreed to give subsidies, but he didn't know how much. He said that he must have suffered a big loss. How much subsidy can he get in a day? How much can he earn in a day at sea
Officials are very stingy and definitely can’t give much. They said their family suffered a huge loss and they should have thrown the tripod back into the sea instead of fishing it out. They also said it was a thankless job and so on…
Whenever his mother-in-law came over, she would talk to Huimei about it, and he could recite it by heart.
He couldn't help but say to Secretary Chen: "Secretary Chen, all these commendations and awards have been given. Although he didn't get anything, there is still a subsidy. When will the subsidy be given to Dongzi?"
"He has already suffered huge losses and donated everything to the Mazu Temple. You should give him more subsidies. You should give him more. You should not let the people down. Don't you agree, folks?"
"He has been cooperating and hasn't been out to sea for ten days. You know, he can earn dozens of dollars 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 simply fooled by these officials!
Others also echoed and said a few words.
The villagers also echoed, "Yes, there are subsidies? The subsidies cannot be less!"
"Yes, he has already suffered losses, so you have to give him more subsidies."
"I heard that there are several soldiers living in his house. They should at least give him some food money."
"Yes, you can't just let this money go..."
Ye Yaodong also looked at the village committee and the county leaders, and he must receive a lot of subsidies.
It's okay to give all the previous merits to Mazu. He is willing to do so and regards it as a merit, which is also a good thing.
After being reborn, he should have given back to Mazu, and this was a perfect opportunity.
But subsidies are subsidies. Even though he compensated himself some for fishing and setting the nets during those days of cooperating with the work, he should not be deprived of what he deserves.
Whatever money he can get is what he deserves. He will be generous when it comes to giving, and he must give what he deserves.
