Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 1148 Received the Letter of Appointment (an Extra Chapter for the Leader, Very Cute and Delicious)

At this time, it was almost dusk when he walked back slowly, and it was not far from dark.

After all, it was a city. Although it was shabby everywhere, it was still not small to walk. It took more than an hour to walk home.

After the meeting, he walked out and chatted. After talking for a while, he was delayed for a while before walking home. He got home at 7 o'clock. His father and others had returned long ago and sat there eating shirtless.

The gate of the courtyard was open. As soon as he walked in, someone saw him with sharp eyes and made a noise, "President Ye is here!"

"Ah, haha, our President Ye is here!"

"President Ye!"

Ye Yaodong couldn't stop laughing, "Eat? Today is a good day, how can we have no wine. I just came back and passed by the canteen and bought two bottles of soju. Come on, let's celebrate in the evening."

"It's done?" Ye's father looked surprised.

He straightened his hem, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Please call me President Ye from now on!"

Although he is the deputy, there is no need to add the deputy when calling him!

"Hahaha~ good boy~"

"President Ye, haha, everyone is right."

Ye Yaodong smiled and put two bottles of white wine on the table, asking them to get bowls to fill the wine.

Drinking can easily cause trouble, not to mention that they are all working for him now. When there is nothing to do, he usually does not provide wine but only normal meals.

Otherwise, these old drunkards can drink three times a day. What kind of family can provide wine every day? They are not here to enjoy themselves, but to work and make money.

If they want to drink, he has no objection, but they have to spend money to buy wine. He does not pay wages, and the money in their pockets is limited. They can only buy one or two every three or five days to satisfy their addiction.

Now seeing him carrying two bottles of white wine on the table, his eyes are shining.

"Okay, okay, Adong is still generous. Good days should be celebrated."

"What do you call Adong? You should call the president!"

"Haha, president!"

Ye Yaodong also laughed, "Just shouting twice as a joke, come on, celebrate, let's go together."

"Okay, okay..."

"Bring honor to the family!" Father Ye took a sip with a red face and put down the bowl. "It's dark now. Wait until tomorrow afternoon to come back early and call home."

"Don't worry, what's the hurry? Just call when you don't have work. There's no need for this little time. Anyway, we haven't gone back yet."

"That's fine."

"It's glorious. You can tell that the title of president is not a small official."

"Actually, it's not. It's just a social group."

Everyone didn't quite understand what he said. Anyway, knowing that he is now the vice president, everyone felt proud and toasted him again and again. After a group of people took turns, he didn't eat a few bites of food, but his face was flushed from drinking wine.

He was really happy, so he didn't refuse anyone who came.

He was still eating when the lights were turned on. The neighbors were sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air. They looked out the door when they heard the noisy noise coming from their yard.

The two bottles of wine they brought back were only two catties, and 11 people shared less than two taels. After drinking, they went to get two more bottles and said a few words to the neighbors sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air, saying that their boss became the president.

"What kind of official is the president? It sounds like a big official."

"He is the president of the Fishery Association, responsible for our sea and seafood products. He is very impressive."

"Ah! So impressive? He has made a difference. He became the president at such a young age..."

"Yes, don't look at our boss's young age, he is very impressive. He is also very impressive in our hometown. He is a famous person in the surrounding area."

After getting the wine, the person smiled and said a few proud words casually, then walked back into the house with floating steps and continued to drink lively.

The atmosphere in the room was lively, and the discussion at the door did not stop. Gossip always spreads very quickly.

When they came back from the sea the next day, even the people on the dock knew that Ye Yaodong was the vice president of the Fishery Association. There were still many people who smiled and congratulated him, and they all asked him if he had any connections.

He had been selling goods for more than half a month, and he had already become familiar with the people on the dock.

A foreigner could actually become the vice president of their local area. Although he didn't understand what it was, the title sounded very loud and powerful.

Ye Yaodong said a few humble words, just reminding them to weigh it quickly, and didn't say much else, leaving some room for their imagination.

Then within a week, he saw an advertisement in the local newspaper that the Fishery Association was established and recruiting new talents.

He had just arrived and knew that he would not stay here for a long time. He didn't subscribe to the newspaper. It was when he came back to the dock and saw people on the dock discussing it, he borrowed someone's newspaper and took a look, and then he knew that it had been published in the newspaper. The efficiency was quite high.

I thought the newspaper would not be able to typeset so quickly, but it was published in less than a week.

And when he returned home, his family received a letter. When he opened it, it was an honorary letter of appointment, and the address and phone number of the association were also on it.

He held the letter of appointment in his hand, shook it twice with a smile on his face, and said to everyone: "I didn't expect it to be so formal, even the office address and phone number are listed. Are they determined to do it well? Are the makeshift gangs going to start to be standardized?"

Everyone stretched their heads to look over, "What's written on it?"

"It says I'm appointed as the vice president of the Fisheries Association. I have to go through the formalities in the near future, and I have to take a photo of my ID and send it over for record, and pay the membership fee."

"Ah? I have to pay money? I haven't paid you, but you have to pay them? What's the reason?" Ye's father was the first to speak in surprise.

"It's like this. This is not an official organization. How can you be paid? I've said it many times. This is a social group. If you want to join this association, you must pay the membership fee. It's not much money, so it doesn't matter. How glorious is it to have the name of President Ye? Who needs this little money?"

"Well, you don't need these few dollars anyway, so go and pay it tomorrow morning, and call home by the way. I haven't called home for many days, and they don't know about this yet."

"Yeah."

By the way, he has to save some money.

It's been almost a month since I came here. Except for the intermittent rain for more than a week in the middle, it has been sunny all the time, which is quite smooth.

It was also smooth at sea. Generally, the fishing boats that could reach the coast were not as big as his fishing boat. At most, they would come over curiously to take a look. When they saw their boat and the many men on the boat, they would generally avoid it if they could.

It was useless to kill people for money that could not be earned. It was harmful and useless. Moreover, there were obviously more people on their boat.

The red tide some time ago did not spread to the coast, but it was always there. The big boats in the town were not seen much during this period. Several boats were fishing in the open sea as usual.

I just heard from people at the dock that the harvest was not very good. Many fish were affected by the red tide and had to be discarded. The harvest was very average, but if he didn't go out to sea, he had to support a boat of idle people at home.

This didn't affect him, anyway, he didn't go out to trawling.

He has been fishing for sea urchins for the past month, and he has earned more than 10,000 yuan. In addition, he earned less than 4,000 yuan on the day of the red tide before, so he has earned more than 14,000 yuan.

After deducting the money for refueling and the daily meat and vegetable money, he still has about 13,000 yuan on hand.

I will take the opportunity to remit 10,000 yuan to go back tomorrow, leaving 3,000 yuan on hand. When I go back, I have to pay the boatmen.

Father Ye thought for a while and said, "Today seems to be the 14th day of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow is August 15th. I don't know if the bank will be open. We have worked for six or seven days in a row recently. Otherwise, let's take a day off tomorrow and celebrate the festival together. Even if we don't go back, we still have to celebrate the festival."

"Is August 15th tomorrow?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment. He only remembered that today was the 28th in the Gregorian calendar. He really didn't think that tomorrow was August 15th. There was no calendar at home. They just had to remember it day by day, or look at it when they went to the canteen to buy cigarettes.

They were at sea day by day, and they really didn't remember what day it was in the lunar calendar today.

"It's August 15th. I remembered it a few days ago, but I forgot it these two days. I just remembered it when I heard the vendors shouting to sell mooncakes."

"Okay, let's take a day off tomorrow. Mid-Autumn Festival is also a big festival. It's okay if we don't go home to celebrate the festival, but we are still required to work outside. Let's buy some good food tomorrow morning and a big local mooncake, and celebrate the festival together."

Everyone cheered happily and smiled.

It's not that no one remembers Mid-Autumn Festival, but they just don't feel comfortable mentioning it. It's better if Ye's father says it.

Ye Yaodong added: "It's a double joy to receive this offer letter during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm quite lucky. Let's make a phone call together tomorrow. Even if the person hasn't returned, we have to call back. I was really busy and forgot. Fortunately, my father remembered, otherwise, we would have missed the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Haha, it's normal to forget. It's not a big deal to celebrate it every year."

"Then we still have to celebrate the festivals that should be celebrated. There are not festivals every month in a year. There are only a few important festivals, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and New Year, just these 6 major festivals."

After that, he said to his father: "These units will probably not work tomorrow. You can play cards as usual the day after tomorrow. I will continue to rest for another day and do what I should do."

"Have you thought about when we will go back?"

"Originally, I thought about going back around National Day. It would be best to go back during Mid-Autumn Festival. However, the current fishing situation is quite good, and the weather has not turned cold. The weather has also been Okay, it's quite suitable for going into the water. It's a pity to go back now. I can earn some money in a day. "

"Besides, this fishery association has just been established. I can't just leave like that. I'll stay for a while and wait until the weather turns cooler and it's not suitable for going into the water. I'll go back. It's estimated that it will be cold in less than a month."

Father Ye thought for a while, "It will be cold in mid-to-late October. There are fewer jellyfish on the sea surface recently, which means that it has been getting cold recently."

"Well, that's equivalent to staying for another half a month."

He looked at everyone, "You don't have any objections, right? Stay for another half a month. Is anyone in a hurry to go back?"

The older ones waved their hands quickly, "No, no, it's okay to stay for another half a month. We workers make money and don't care about holidays. It's good to make money. It's better to stay longer."

"Yes, it's not easy to find such a high salary. Adong, you can stay as long as you need. Everyone has no objection. It's better to have work to do."

Others nodded repeatedly.

It's 4.5 to 6.5 yuan a day, which is 67.5 to 97.5 yuan for half a month. Who would be willing to leave here if you can eat and drink well and don't have to do heavy work?

"Okay, if you don't mind, then we'll stay for another half a month. When the weather gets cold and it's not suitable for swimming, we'll go back. Let's call back together tomorrow to let them know. I guess everyone in our family thinks we'll go home around the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they'll probably be waiting."

"Okay."

After dinner, Ye Yaodong talked to his father in private.

"I forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a good day off tomorrow. I'll go buy some cigarettes and alcohol for Director Zeng. We have to show our appreciation for the festival."

He also got to know a senior official here, so he had to protect him.

"It should be, but it's a pity that we didn't go out to sea to fish, otherwise we could have some seafood..."

"Forget about this, just give some as a daily gift as a specialty. It's better to have something presentable for the festival."

"Oh, then you decide for yourself, you know a lot."

"Well, I just don't know where to live. Ask around tomorrow. There are always people on duty at the police station. Go ask tomorrow."

Father Ye hesitated and asked again: "Do the boatmen need to give out red envelopes for the festival?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his father in confusion, "Why do I feel that you are getting more and more generous? Do you want a red envelope?"
