Chapter 1187 Award

Ye Xiaoxi raised her head and stared at him with an angry face.

Ye Yaodong bent over and lowered his head, rubbing the bubbles in his hair with his hands and staring at her. He found it quite interesting to see her angry look.

"Your eyes are so big and beautiful."

Ye Xiaoxi was instantly satisfied, snorted, turned his head proudly, shook his head and walked out.

"It's dark, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find my sister. I won't sleep with you. I'm going to sleep with my sister."

"Aqing, Aqing, your daughter is running away from home."

Lin Xiuqing's voice immediately came from inside, "I have been acting like a monster every day, and I have never been idle for a moment."

Ye Xiaoxi ran out as fast as he could, but where he could outrun the adults, he was immediately caught back and dragged backwards.

"It's completely dark, and you still want to run to your sister's house. Are you afraid that the traffickers will later chop off your hands and feet, gouge out your eyes, and cut out your tongue?"

She hurriedly hid her hands behind her back, but she stumbled and fell to the ground, grabbing a handful of chicken feces.

Lin Xiuqing also let go of her, picked up the firewood piled in the corner and went to beat Ye Yaodong.

"Jing is always looking for trouble for me every day. You are the only one who has the most troubles. You were fine. The three of you were just sitting there watching TV. Look at you. You are the one who caused it."

Ye Yaodongguo cursed, "It's none of my business?"

"It's all caused by your fart."

"I don't teach the good ones all day long. I teach the bad ones and let them learn from them."

"I just asked them if I was handsome and what else did I do."

Lin Xiuqing took advantage of him being unable to take action and deliberately hit him twice more, "Don't mess with them. How can they be so intimidating?"

"You're still here. Are you addicted to beating me? I'll see if I can deal with you later."

Lin Xiu gave him an innocent look and hurried to catch Ye Xiaoxi who was trying to escape again.

"You are getting more and more naughty and restless. You dare to go out to find your sister at night and want to give her a good beating. You are so dishonest."

Ye Xiaoxi also knew that she wanted to show weakness if she couldn't escape. She spread her palms upward and showed them to Lin Xiuqing.

"Wash your hands...there's chicken poop..."

"For you to eat!"

"Eat for brother."

"The good ones don't even think about them, the bad ones only think of them."

"Just give it to big brother."

Lin Xiuqing laughed angrily, stretched out her hand and poked her forehead hard, "You have a clear distinction between grudges and grudges."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded matter-of-factly.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy.

After washing their hair, they sat in front of the TV and watched TV honestly again, except for Ye Chenghu, who sat on the stairs alone and watched it with gusto.

Ye Yaodong also stood aside and watched TV with them.

However, he only watched it for a while before going back to the house to sleep.

I only slept for three or four hours in the afternoon before waking up to have dinner. I didn't get enough sleep, and I was already sleepy again.

Although it is said that they will receive the prize in the afternoon tomorrow, the boat will not arrive that soon. They will set off early in the morning as usual, and would rather arrive early than late.

Go to bed early and feel refreshed the next day.

After a whole day of fermentation, the whole village and even the nearby villages knew that they had caught something incredible, and the entire boatload of people would be rewarded.

Early in the morning, when he led the assembled boatmen to the dock, he passed by the workshop and everyone greeted them with a smile.

"A Dong, are you going to the city to collect rewards from the boss?"

"Come back and tell everyone what the rewards are. Don't forget to set off firecrackers when the time comes."

"You all dressed up really energetically today. Going to receive the award is really different."

"I put on all my new clothes for the New Year, so of course I am in high spirits, haha..."

After everyone laughed and said hello, they walked back to the dock. Ye Yaodong also took Wang Guangliang and a few of them with him. They were also going to receive the goods. It would be okay to go early. Taking them along would save the fuel money of the boat.

At Wang Guangliang's suggestion, he drove the Dongsheng.

The original words are: Brother Dong, you have gone to the city to receive the award gloriously. You can't drive a broken boat. You must drive a big boat with a bit of majesty, so that no one can look down on you.

It was also something that was salvaged by the Dongsheng at that time. Of course, I have to drive the Dongsheng to collect the prize this time, and I'm going on a big ship. Maybe I can collect more goods today.

During the recent period, one after another large ships have heard that they are collecting goods on the shore. Some people who have brought groceries deliberately come back a little early to catch up with them to receive the goods.

Yesterday, Wang Guangliang and the others had to raise their own money, putting in twenty or thirty yuan, otherwise the big ship would catch up and the goods would be kept back, and it wouldn't be good for you to confiscate them.

So we can only collect a little money each person, collect other people's goods first, and then quickly put the goods on the ship and leave. Otherwise, if we stay a little later, the night is the peak time for the ship to dock.

Of course, Lin Xiuqing reimbursed them all for the money they paid after verifying the weight of the goods they received this morning.

Ye Yaodong also thought it would be better to drive the Dongsheng because it wouldn't be cold sitting in the cockpit.

If we go there in a small boat, our eyes, noses and mouths will be all red due to the cold wind.

Today he saw that all of them were smeared with clam oil, and they could smell the fragrance even if they got close. It was so rare.

In the past, there was only the smell of sweat and fish.

But now that there is a cabin for them to stay in, they are reluctant to stay in it.

Because the space inside is too small to accommodate so many people unless they all lie down on their own beds.

To be honest, their bed was no different from a doghouse. It smelled rancid and fishy, ​​and it had to stink up the new clothes they were wearing.

Plus there are so many people, it’s more lively to talk on the deck together.

Ye Yaodong had originally planned to take all the beds and quilts off the boat when he came back from this trip, wash the ones that needed to be washed, and dry the ones that needed to be dried. In the middle of winter, it was rare to have a sunny day.

Everyone was so happy yesterday. Although they will be even happier today, today they can ask the workers who received the goods to move.

A bunch of people on the deck were discussing excitedly and looking forward to it, but Ye Yaodong was much calmer.

I can't help it. I have received awards too many times, so I don't feel much excitement, but I do feel happy.

They set off early and arrived in the city early, arriving at the pier around 12 o'clock.

Today was also a happy day, and it was now lunch time. Ye Yaodong waved his hand and invited everyone to lunch.

After lunch, Ye Yaodong told the others to go ahead and do what they should. If it was still early, he wouldn't object to them going for a stroll in the city.

After all, I come here every time to work, and it’s rare that I arrived early today and still have time to wander around.

At this time, he also knew that the dock was out of stock, so he stood still and was very considerate of the employees.

Knowing that each of them had deposited a lot of money yesterday, I could also guess that they had the money with them because they wanted to find a chance to stroll around the city and buy some things.

Ah Qing happened to reimburse them in the morning, and they now had some money on hand, so he let them go shopping openly.

However, when letting them go, Ye Yaodong also told them that they could not delay receiving the goods, otherwise their wages would be deducted.

Everyone was very happy, and no one was unhappy.

The people who followed him to the Ocean Bureau were also very happy, and they all wanted to see if they had time after receiving their prizes, and also wanted to go shopping.

All of them had money with them, thinking that it was a rare day when they came to the city without having to work, and it would be a great joy to receive the prize. They also wanted to buy something to go home, so that the whole family would be happy.

Along the way to the Ocean Bureau, everyone said it was extremely lively and full of expectations.

"Oops, I forgot to ask A Dong to bring a camera. I don't know if he will take photos of us when he receives the award or not?"

"Yeah, it's such an honor to take a photo for me to keep as a souvenir. I wonder if they will give us a photo?"

"Is it too late to get it from the ship now?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and looked at the few people who had already walked to the door, "Don't worry, since they took photos of us, they will definitely give us photos. There is no reason not to give one as a souvenir. I will mention it when the time comes."

"That's good."

"Then I can rest assured. I have photos to prove it. Haha, when the time comes, I will show it out for other people to envy."

"Haha, we're already at the door, hurry in."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch and knew it was time to go to work.

After a group of them reported their accident to the guard, the guard invited them in with a smile.

Director Chen smiled and shook hands with them one by one, and then introduced the current Director Li to them. Everyone shook hands one by one, and then they went to the conference room and exchanged a few words.

"It's still early and no one has arrived yet. Let's all wait for a while. Everyone is very energetic today. It's very different from what I saw a few days ago. They are in good spirits, haha."

"But after taking photos and receiving commendations and rewards, we can't leave yet. The reporter will have to interview you. You will tell us about the salvage process. It will be published in the newspaper and the content will be included."

Everyone was surprised and ecstatic, and asked all kinds of questions.

“It’s even in the newspapers!!!”

"In the newspapers? Really?"

Director Li smiled and said, "It's true. What you handed in is great, and the superiors take it very seriously. I also hope that if other fishermen find out, they will be like you and have the awareness to report the situation to their superiors." ”

"You are role models for fishermen and must be praised. We will hold a commendation meeting for you later. Please calm down for a moment and drink some tea. The meeting will start at 2:30. People from various departments under our jurisdiction will participate in the meeting. It’s not quite there yet.”

Everyone was shocked. They thought they just came here to take photos, receive an award and leave immediately. They didn't expect that there would be a commendation meeting.

It was already beyond their expectation that they were even asked to take photos, which made them so happy. Now there is actually a commendation meeting and interviews with reporters. Their faces are really bright.

Director Chen looked at everyone who was so happy that he didn't know what to say, and some of them were incoherent.

He smiled and patted the surprised Ye Yaodong on the shoulder, "You have indeed made a great contribution this time. Unmanned submarines are very important to the superiors. Everyone pays special attention to them. You have contributed to our country's national defense and security." Yes, it’s appropriate to hold a commendation meeting.”

"After it is published in the newspaper, more people will see it, and it will also stimulate the enthusiasm of fishermen. If they catch something strange and unfamiliar, they can report it in time."

Director Li also said: "Yes, although we also have a marine patrol team, they only patrol the safety of the sea areas. You still have to rely on your fishermen to catch these things."

"That thing is an extremely dangerous weapon and equipment for our navy. Although this weapon and equipment cannot directly cause harm to our navy, this weapon can convey the specific situation of our navy to the "enemy country." This It’s more terrible than direct injury.”

Seeing the seriousness of his words, everyone put away the excited expressions on their faces and nodded in understanding.

Ye Yaodong also echoed: "Everyone has the responsibility to protect our country. Being able to contribute to our country is what we should do. We fishermen can't do anything else, so we can only report the strange things we salvage." Condition."

"Haha, Deputy Director Chen has always said in front of me that you love the party, are dedicated to the party, have an exceptionally high level of consciousness, and are a role model for fishermen. That's true. You are a good young man. I didn't expect that you are already the boss of the boat at such a young age."

"My father taught me well. Without him to help me, what do I know?"

"Huh? No wonder there's something wrong with the front. Why don't you see your father? Isn't your father following you all the time?" Director Chen glanced at them and said.

"My eldest brother and my second brother also jointly bought a big boat like mine. My father happened to go to their boat this time to help them sail the boat. Whenever our three brothers needed it, he would go and help."

"You three brothers are so promising. Your father is also capable of raising three such powerful sons. You will be blessed in the future."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Haha, my dad said the same thing. Yesterday, the villagers encouraged my dad to come and receive the award together. My dad said that you should be realistic and not cheat."

"Although he also envied us and was depressed that he was not on the boat and missed this trip. But he said that my glory is also his glory, and his face was bright when I accepted the award. There is no need to do this kind of deception. thing."

"He won't be able to straighten his back even if we do it, and he won't be able to speak louder from now on. He can't be a shameless person."

Of course, he needs to put more gold on his father's face. This is also a roundabout way of praising himself. His father is so decent, how can the son he taught be any worse?

It will be beneficial to both his father and him to have a good impression.

As expected, everyone present appreciated what he said.

Even the boatmen admired Father Ye and praised him a few times.

"Your father is a good father with excellent moral character. No wonder he can raise good sons."

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly.

Everyone sat in the conference room and chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was harmonious. After people arrived one after another, the time came and the commendation meeting began.

However, although it is a commendation meeting, they do not need to go up to speak. They only need to sit there and listen to the leader's introduction to them, and talk about their deeds and how the country attaches great importance to them, and also ask local departments to pay high attention to them. Pay attention to……

He spoke eloquently for an hour, and then called them up to accept everyone's applause.

Director Chen also personally tied big red flowers for them, and everyone had one.

Director Li also awarded each of them a sealed certificate of merit, as well as additional red envelope rewards.

Everyone was laughing from ear to ear and squeezed the thick red envelopes in their hands. They were very excited. They felt thick to the touch, which showed that there was a lot of money in them.

However, no one was talking to each other at this time. Looking at so many officials below, some of them were nervous and their hands were shaking.

After these were handed out, Director Li said some words of encouragement. After everyone applauded, the ceremony officially ended.

But everyone else stood up, and a few of them still stood there because there were still reporters to interview.

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "There has never been such a highlight moment. Can you develop a few more photos and send them to us? Let us keep a souvenir, be proud of it, and show it to our family."

Director Li said nicely: "There must be this, and it will be sent to you. You can also take a solo photo and send it together later. Remember to leave your address."

"That's great. The leaders are so thoughtful. Thank you."

"It's necessary. You are also heroes who have made meritorious deeds. You should take a few photos."

Everyone was very happy. They all held out their certificates and red envelopes in one hand, and took turns to be photographed with bright smiles.

It’s rare to bow politely and say thank you after taking photos.

After everyone had taken photos, they sat down to be interviewed by reporters.

Of course, this is Ye Yaodong's personal show, because he is the boss of the ship, so of course he basically does all the talking, and the others don't speak Mandarin very well.

Ye Yaodong smiled and told them about the fishing process. During this period, everyone also chimed in and said a few words. Of course, they also exaggerated a little bit and described it with added detail.

For example, when I pull it up and pull the rope, it feels so heavy that I thought I had just received a bunch of big stuff...

Ye Yaodong also translated the dialect spoken by everyone for the reporter.

By the time all interviews were over, it was already 4:30 when we left the Ocean Bureau.

After everyone turned their heads and glanced at the door of the Ocean Bureau, they quickly walked a few steps to the corner. They couldn't wait to look through the red envelopes in their hands.

There were people inside who seemed embarrassed to open the red envelope, but while the reporter was interviewing them, they sat in the corner and opened the red envelope covertly with their heads down, and took a few glances inside.

But with just a few glances, they were already so excited that they were all united! Still a thick pack.

The joy had already overwhelmed them, but everyone could only hold back and communicate with their eyes first.

They couldn't wait as soon as they got out. It wasn't that they wanted to escape from the Ocean Bureau, but that they were anxious and couldn't wait to open the red envelope.

"It's all about great unity..."

"When I touched the thickness, I thought it was a letter of praise stuffed inside, but I didn't expect it was all money."

"I was dumbfounded when I took a peek inside just now!"

"Ouch, that's too generous. How much is it? Is it the same for everyone?"

Everyone was so happy that they hid in the alley one by one and gathered around, took out their red envelopes, and couldn't wait to count the money without saying a word.

Ye Yaodong was the same, but he saw that the thickness of the banknotes in his hand seemed to be a little thicker than others.

Everyone has finished counting, but he hasn't finished counting yet.

"500!"

"Me too 500!"

"so much……"

"It's too generous. Why are you so generous this time? Yesterday I thought it was only 50 yuan, and I thought it would be good to have a certificate."

Everyone was extremely pleasantly surprised and expressed their admiration.

"How much is A Dong? There must be more A Dong than us. He is the boss of the ship!"

"Yes, yes, he looks richer than us."

"How many?"

Everyone looked at Ye Yaodong.

After Ye Yaodong counted the money, he also raised his head happily, then put it in his hand and said, "I have 1,000."

"So many, haha, you are the boss of the ship."

"Yes, you are the boss of the ship, so you must have more than us."

"According to our country's distribution according to work, A Dong is our boss, so it is normal for him to have more workers than us."

"Isn't that too generous? It's like I was dreaming, and everyone was rewarded 500?"

"I feel like I'm in a dream too. Isn't this too much?"

Ye Yaodong was smiling all over his face, "Don't they always say that? We have made great achievements. Can we get the same reward for catching our own things as for catching the enemy's things?"

"And this thing is still heavyweight, so it's not useless. They even held a commendation meeting for us. It's such an honor, and the reward must be worthy of it."

"Besides, it was published in the newspaper for us and set an example. It will definitely be rewarded heavily and other fishermen will also feel honored."

Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Everything you said is right..."

"Okay, hurry up and hide the money. Don't you still want to go shopping? While the department store is still closed, go to the pier and ask for a tractor to take you there. Maybe you can still shop for half an hour."

"Yes, yes, it's a rare trip..."

Everyone hurriedly hid the money on their bodies, some in their shoes, some in their crotches, and some in the innermost parts of their clothes.

Everyone hid everything they could think of, and they hid the money they had in separate places.

There were only two or three big unity cards left in their pockets, which was enough for them to buy things.

Ye Yaodong didn't go shopping with them. He came to the city too many times and had nothing to take back. He had other things to do.

When they separated, they were only told to gather at the dock after shopping, while he went to the wholesale market.

Yesterday, he told Father Lin that if Wang Jianxin came this morning, he would be waiting for him at the shop this afternoon. He would probably be waiting at this time.

He didn't know that he would be delayed for such a long time today, and he couldn't let people wait for a long time. He had to get there quickly.

He wasn't worried that Wang Jianxin didn't go to the store today. After all, the ground there had just been flattened and he still had to watch.

It was already past 5 o'clock when Ye Yaodong hurried to the store. The area around the wholesale market was deserted, and few stores were open.

After all, the wholesale market has not yet opened at this time, and it gets dark early in winter and the weather is cold, so it usually closes early.

Only the lights of his shop were still on, and there were still people visible.

As he walked over, the people sitting on the steps also stood up.

"Boss, you're finally here, it's almost dark."

"Sorry, I went to the Oceanographic Bureau this afternoon. I was delayed for too long. I came here as soon as I came out."

"Why are you going to the Oceanographic Bureau?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and waved the certificate of merit in his hand, "I have made a great contribution, and I'm going to receive the award."

Wang Jianxin was surprised, "What great achievements have you made?"

"Haha, why are you so anxious to see me? Is the construction site finished and you are worried that you will have no work to do?"

Wang Jianxin nodded sheepishly, "Yes, you said you would work hard and leave me to work after the completion. Now that the construction site over there is completed, are you planning to do some business? I will I want to ask, what will I do next?”

He was a little worried that he was unemployed. After all, his life had been easy in the past few months and the money was paid on time. He was a little reluctant to lose this job. It was not easy to find a job these days, especially an easy and stable job.

"Next, help me order some large wooden barrels. I want very large wooden barrels with a capacity of 10 tons. I also need to order some large water tanks, as large as possible."

"When the barrels are ordered, they will be moved to the row of built warehouses, and the large vats will be placed in the open space. They should be piled neatly and a path should be left for people to go back and forth."

Wang Jianxin rubbed his head, "Can it have such a big barrel? It must be taller than a person."

"Yes, it's just taller than a person. My family's workshop always orders wooden barrels of this size. You are a local, so you should know where to order. If you don't know, just ask around."

"I'll leave this matter to you. The sooner the better. If you want the money, go to my father-in-law and he will keep the account and report it to me."

"Remember not to be clever or take kickbacks for me. I know how much the barrels and water tanks cost. I have many at home, and everyone in my family also runs this workshop. Now I am just making use of the space here. "

"If I knew you were being clever, you wouldn't have to do it. The open space I built is so big that it won't be smaller in the future. Don't let the small things make the big mistakes."

Wang Jianxin immediately said seriously: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely get things done for you and I will never use my brain."

"After finding the factory and placing the order, I have to give the receipt to my father-in-law. This all needs to be recorded. You also have to use the receipt to get a deposit and the balance. You don't need to order so much at one time, after all, it's such a big place. It takes time to make buckets, so order them by the dozen and order them one by one.”

"Okay, I understand. When the time comes, I will find a good place and take Mr. Lin there to have a look."

"Um."

"Then after this is settled, what else is there...what else is there to do..."

He asked a little uneasily. After all, these runnings would last only a few days, so why should he be called for the rest of the time?

"The other thing is that you come to work here in the store and help sell goods."

Wang Jianxin's eyes lit up, "Here? Do you sell goods right here in the store?"

"Yes, I don't care for idlers. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also busy. After you finish this order for me, you can work here for me at other times to help sell goods. Your salary will remain the same."

"This is okay, this is no problem."

Father Lin also said: "I originally wanted to leave him in the shop to help. After all, sometimes it gets busy and two people are too busy. One more person to help is just right."

"After the things you want are delivered and moved in, he can help here and look over there to avoid thieves."

Ye Yaodong nodded. This was something he had considered. He definitely couldn't just sit at the door and watch the door in the sun. There was nothing important inside now.

It wouldn't work to just throw him away and don't want him anymore. It was a good idea to keep him in the shop to help Father Lin work.

This Wang Jianxin is a local and can speak the local dialect. It would be good for him to work as a salesperson in the store, and he can also talk to the locals.

"Then it's settled. I've given you a job and you should work hard. When the factory over there starts working, you will be the veteran."

"No problem, I will do a good job."
