Chapter 1200 Inquiry

The road was originally small, and there were so many people watching, that the road on the side was already blocked by water.

In fact, it’s just a motorcycle, a person, and a group of dogs, but people are just curious.

He had not been at the door of the post office for a while when he unexpectedly bumped into Hong Wenle who was passing by.

Also looking at the large number of people around here, I thought they were selling something or looking at something rare, so I squeezed in to take a look.

"Huh? Comrade Ye...Yaodong?"

Ye Yaodong also turned to look at him in surprise, "Young Master Hong?"

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. I haven't even congratulated you yet. You received an award some time ago and have become a role model for fishermen."

He got out of the car, stood up straight, and said with a smile, "You know all this?"

"It's been in the newspapers, who doesn't know yet? You are famous all over the country, and you have brought glory to our town. Now you are a celebrity."

"Haha, it's actually all luck. Long time no see."

"Long time no see. When I see you, you are no longer the little fisherman you were before."

"Everywhere, it still belongs to fishermen. No matter what I do, I am still a fisherman in essence."

"I heard that the city is now setting up a fishery association. Have you heard about it? You just went to the city to receive the award some time ago. Have you heard about it?"

Ye Yaodong was surprised. He didn't even know that the city was definitely going to do it. How did he know?

"How do you know?"

"So you know?"

"I know, I proposed it, and then Director Chen thought it was feasible. It has been two months, and I have been able to provide a few development ideas from time to time. They have gradually held meetings to discuss it, and they should have reached a conclusion soon, right?"

He felt that it would be soon. He had been talking for two months, and his efficiency was already low enough. Perhaps because Director Chen had just arrived, the weight of what he said was not that important, so he was dragging his feet.

Now it was Hong Wenle's turn to be surprised, "You proposed it? Did you propose this fishery association?"

"Yes, because I went to Zhejiang Province a few months ago and served as the vice president of the Fisheries Association in Wenzhou, so I have a little understanding of this association. I feel that it will be beneficial to the management and development of seaside fishing boats."

"Vice President! Are you the Vice President from Wen City?" His voice was raised, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Ye Yaodong looked at his expression and felt secretly happy, but on his face he pretended to be calm and it was not a big deal.

He really got it this time, so cool.

He could still show off in front of Young Master Hong, which was something he never expected.

"Yeah, it's been a few months, but I've been busy coming and going, so I don't really care about the things there. They're all handed over to other people. I only check in and show my face when I go there occasionally. "

He pretended to do it again, which was great.

This is much more enjoyable than pretending to be cool in front of the villagers.

People are different.

The pleasure of showing off in front of different people is even different.

Today's trip is not in vain, it's a good time to fill up.

"Do you travel frequently between the two places now?"

"Yeah, I'm getting busier and busier, and I can only travel between two places. I can't just hang on to a title and not report. It's also the local leaders who like me. I have to be grateful and make progress. I can't let the leaders down, and I have to show up often. Show your face." Ye Yaodong smiled.

He digested the news, looked at Ye Yaodong again, and then said.

"Are you really good at meeting leaders wherever you go? You actually proposed this fishery association in the city?"

"It's just luck. How did you know that the city was going to establish a fishery association? This shouldn't have been finalized yet, right?"

Hong Wenle said with a smile: "Don't forget, this port in our town has been among the five major fishing ports from the beginning. In our entire city, the port here in our town is originally the largest."

"If there hadn't been a wholesale market in the city in the past two years, and more fishing boats docked to sell goods, there would be no place as famous as ours."

"But we are one of the few deep-water ports here, and there are still many fishing boats docked for rest and replenishment. Forming a fishery association is not a trivial matter. It is also related to the development of our local fishery. Of course, we will also know some news."

Ye Yaodong felt it made sense after hearing this. After all, he was a well-known local person. Although their place was a small town, it was more famous than the county town because of its fishing port.

There are more fishing boats docking here, so it’s normal to know more gossip.

"So that's it. I said I didn't announce it. How come you already know about it."

Hong Wenle gave him a thumbs up.

"Originally, I just thought that you had gone to the city to receive the award a few days ago, so you should know some news. Now that I bumped into it, I thought I'd just ask, but I didn't expect that it was you who brought it up! You really surprised me. ”

"Wherever I go, I also want to prevent my hometown from lagging behind other provinces and cities. There is nothing wrong with learning from it. Only by learning from each other's strengths can we develop rapidly."

"You're right, I think so. There should be news after the new year. Since you proposed this, will you have a place?"

The smile on Ye Yaodong's face deepened, "How dare I think so much? These are all arranged by the leadership, and I don't know much."

Hong Wenle patted him on the shoulder, "That's awesome, it's Chairman Ye again. I haven't seen you for a long time. You surprised me so much. You were published in newspapers and commended. You are still good at fishing, and you are also a member of the Communist Party of China. President of the Foreign Fisheries Association.”

"It's all luck."

"Luck is also a part of strength. People who go to sea originally rely on luck."

He looked at the motorcycle behind Ye Yaodong again and touched the handlebar.

"The leader has arranged a motorcycle for you before, which shows that he values ​​you very much. You proposed this fishery association, so you will definitely have a position. In the future, you may have to rely on President Ye's support."

"No, no, no, it's not even a matter of time. I don't know anything, so I dare not brag to you."

"Haha, the leader values ​​you so much, so it must be a done deal, and there will be a sign soon. What are you doing here? Come to my place for tea?"

"I came to the post office to exchange money. I've been busy there all year round. I only have time today. I brought several large jars of change from home to exchange."

"I heard that the bank has new banknotes available for exchange recently. I don't know if the post office has them. You can ask later."

"I originally wanted to exchange them for new banknotes."

"Then come to my place for tea and chat?"

Ye Yaodong hesitated.

"Who are you bringing with you to exchange money?"

"My wife is inside."

"Then just let your wife watch inside, and tell her to change the money directly into new ones after counting. There's no need for two people to watch. Aren't you watching the car outside now?"

"Okay, I'll go in and talk to her."

Ye Yaodong went in and told Lin Xiuqing that she should wait for him here after she finished changing the money. He was going to have tea with Hong Wenle and would come to pick her up in two hours.

Lin Xiuqing counted and realized that it would take more than two hours to count. She nodded and told him to do whatever he wanted. It would be fine as long as she was watching here.

After all, it was the country's post and telecommunications bureau. They wouldn't steal the money just because she was a woman.

Ye Yaodong got on the motorcycle and shouted a few times. The crowd automatically made way. He drove slowly beside Hong Wenle's bicycle with a load of dogs.

The two cars were one in front and one behind. The speed of the motorcycle was too fast. From time to time, it rushed out a long way. Ye Yaodong's damn vanity was bursting again.

Thinking about the former Young Master Hong now riding a bicycle behind him, while he used to walk on his own two legs, but now rides a motorcycle.

Ye Yaodong was so happy.

No matter what he talked about when he went home for tea, the contrast between the two was enough to make him happy.

He was just a small person, and it was simple to be happy.

He paused from time to time and waited for a while. Seeing that he was close to Hongsheng Hotel, he rode to the door and stopped first.

"Hello, boss..."

Ye Yaodong looked at Wang Maoquan who pushed the door to greet him with a smile.

Wang Maoquan nodded and bowed with a smile on his face. He didn't recognize him for a while, until he smiled and looked at him without saying anything, Wang Maoquan felt that he looked familiar.

"You... you are..."

"Manager Wang, you forget things easily. I haven't seen you for a year or two. You look more prosperous. It can be seen that Young Master Hong has not treated you badly."

Wang Maoquan looked at him with wide eyes in surprise. He felt that he seemed to recognize him, but he didn't seem to recognize him. He looked at the motorcycle parked next to him again.

"Are you the fishmonger before?"

"Yes."

"Have you made a fortune?!"

"Not that I've made a fortune, but I've made a living. People are always looking forward, and at least I'm a little better than before."

Hong Wenle happened to stop beside them on his bicycle. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "More than a little better than before, I have to call him President Ye."

"Be smarter in the future. When you see Comrade Ye Yaodong, you have to call him President Ye. He is my brother. Keep your eyes open and greet him well when he comes."

Wang Maoquan opened his mouth in surprise, and looked at Ye Yaodong, opening and closing it a few times, but no sound came out.

It was so unexpected for him. How come he became President Ye after only two years of not seeing him?

What kind of club is President Ye?

But the young master said he was President Ye, so it must be right!

Good boy, you have turned over after not seeing him for a few years? You have become a big boss, or President Ye, and you have become brothers with their young master?

Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed. He knew his own strengths and weaknesses. It was okay to pretend to be cool occasionally, but when people called him President Ye again and again, he still felt guilty.

The name did not match the reality.

This President Ye was really good at intimidating people...

"Mr. Hong is too polite. It's embarrassing for the person who called him that." Ye Yaodong laughed, touched his nose, and said in a matter-of-fact way.

"What's embarrassing? Isn't this the truth? It will be fine when you get used to it."

That's right, maybe he hasn't gotten used to it yet.

"Then I have to ask more people to shout when I go back, get used to it."

"Hahaha..."

Hong Wenle smiled and hooked his shoulder and walked in, "Let's go inside and have tea. It's not good to drink in the morning..."

"Just drink tea and chat. Who is a good person to drink in the morning?"

"Yes, we are good people. We can't drink in the morning."

Ye Yaodong followed him into the living room on the second floor. This was his first time on the second floor. It was very fashionable. I didn't expect that there was a set of mahogany furniture in the corner, a set of tea tables, and a big landscape painting on the background wall.

It is an old tradition for the locals to love tea.

It is also a convention to hang landscape paintings on the background wall.

Ye Yaodong was free anyway, so he sat down to drink tea with him, chat, brag, and kill time.

The Fishery Association can gather the strength of the industry and help the high-quality development of the fishery. It is normal for Hong Wenle to pay attention to this. After all, he also made his fortune by the port and has an overseas Chinese background.

While drinking tea, they kept talking about this matter.

Ye Yaodong also told him everything he knew. Yan Wuwu simply told him all the information he knew, which was considered invisible and pretending.

After eating and drinking, and it was almost 11 o'clock at noon, he stood up and said goodbye.

"When will you become the president? Just give me a shout and I'll set up a few tables for you to celebrate."

"Ah, no, no, no, what's that worth? It's just a name."

"Some people even want a false name. You are now a well-known celebrity here. In the surrounding area, as long as they are the boss of the ship, everyone knows your name Ye Yaodong. You probably haven't realized that you are How famous now."

Ye Yaodong was stunned. He really didn't realize how famous he was.

His concept of himself was still that of a ship boss with several ships or a small boss who had saved a little money.

This was a success beyond his imagination, and he didn't think too much about the compliments from people around him, he just smiled and took them as a joke.

After all, most of the people around him are acquaintances, and everyone's attitude towards him is at least a little more flattering because he is rich. Basically, they mostly tease him, and they are still the same as they should be in daily life.

"Am I famous? Has it spread to the town? I thought people from all over the country were famous near our village."

"More than that, everyone knows about you Ye Yaodong in recent times, and everyone is talking about you. Ye Yaodong caught an unmanned underwater vehicle and was severely rewarded by the city, which brought glory to all the fishermen in our town. Everyone wants to use you as a As an example, I also obtained a piece of overseas spy equipment, which is a great honor.”

"Like this..."

He said why Hong Wenle wanted to drag him over for tea when he saw how enthusiastic he was. It turned out that it was not only because of his reputation as the president, but also because he had recently become famous in the newspaper.

"Everyone has heard about the establishment of a fishery association, and they all wonder if they can vote. If they can vote, they all want to vote for you. You are a role model for the fishermen in our town and our county."

"Oh~ I understand, so I'm quite popular with the people?"

"Haha, that's right."

Ye Yaodong did not expect such a gain, and he now had a clear understanding of his status.

"Thank you. It's a pity that I'm too thin-skinned. Otherwise, I would have to ask my wife to embroider a name tag of Ye Yaodong and put it on her chest and go out on the street. I have to let everyone know me."

"Hahaha……"

"Thank you for the hospitality. I have to go pick up my wife. She will probably be fine soon."

"Okay, you're busy first, come over for tea when you have time."

"Okay."

"I'll bring you two bags of tea back..."

"No, no, no, it's a waste for me. I'll just drink crude tea to quench my thirst. Is there any tea table where I can make tea? I'll leave it here with you and drink it next time."

"OK."

Ye Yaodong chatted happily with Hong Wenle and walked downstairs with a smile.

Wang Maoquan saw them coming down and immediately came forward, "President Ye is leaving?"

"I still have something to do, so I have to leave first. If Manager Wang calls me President Ye, just call me Adong. That's too much for outsiders."

"Oh, President Ye is President Ye. How can I call him Adong?"

"You became the manager for a reason. Let's go now."

As soon as Ye Yaodong walked out of the door, several dogs squatting at the door immediately stood up and waggled their tails around him.

"I just wanted to ask, do you raise all these dogs? Why are there so many?"

"One litter in a lifetime seems like a lot. If I don't let them follow me, if they insist on following me, I'm afraid they will be tricked into eating dog meat when they go out, and they will get extra meals during the New Year."

"hehe……"

"Bye now."

Ye Yaodong got on his motorcycle, waved, said hello one last time and left.

Lin Xiuqing's legs were numb from sitting at the post office, and the two workers hadn't finished counting yet.

She heard the sound of the motorcycle at the door and knew that Ye Yaodong was back, so she quickly stood at the door.

"I came back on time."

"Are you done counting?"

"Not yet, it's almost over, it should take another ten or twenty minutes."

"That will give them just enough time to get off work."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and motioned for him to keep his voice down.

Counting so many coins is a big project.

Ye Yaodong sat for a while after entering. Then the two staff members breathed a sigh of relief, straightened their backs, and finally wrote down the numbers before helping each other to stand up.

"Finished counting? Good work, good work."

"When you're done counting, just calculate the total at the end."

The two finally calculated the total, "This penny bucket contains 1667, 1683, two cents 1556, 1605, 5 cents 1702... and several stacks. In cents, the total amount here is 2,645 yuan and 3 cents."

"Okay, hardworking comrade, help me change it into new banknotes. I want 260 Unity bills and the other change is 45 yuan. Can you change it into new banknotes for me? Do you have new banknotes? I heard that other banks have them. ”

They both nodded, counted up to this amount, and hurriedly exchanged it as required and sent this ancestor away.

I hope there will never be a next time or see you again.

After Ye Yaodong changed a dozen of them, all of which were new banknotes, he touched the change in his pockets and took out all of them, asking them to exchange them for new coins.

Lin Xiuqing also quickly touched her pockets and changed them as soon as possible.

There are plenty of old banknotes at home, but they are scarce about new ones.

Wait a few days to give the new year's money to the children and give them new ones. I think they will be happy for several days and show off in a circle.

Ye Yaodong put the new banknotes into the jar of malted milk and put the jar back into the sack.

This must be taken home for reuse, not wasted, there will be plenty of change in the future.

Lin Xiuqing was so happy holding a bunch of new banknotes in her hand.

"They are all consecutive numbers, Adong, look, the numbers on them are all consecutive..."

"The ones that just came out of the bank must be consecutive numbers."

"We can't use this new money, save it."

"Okay, take it out and check it when you get home, take out the ones without consecutive numbers, and save the ones with consecutive numbers."

She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, very happy.

"Let's come back tomorrow. We have a lot of one- and two-yuan bills at home. Let's exchange them for new bills, shall we?"

"We won't have to spend them after we exchange them for new bills, right?"

"We can save them after we exchange them for new bills, and we won't be willing to spend them."

"It's better to exchange them for my two sons. Let them take out their own private money and exchange them for new bills with you. That way, you don't have to worry about them spending money recklessly."

"I'll exchange them for them when I get back. Then will we come back tomorrow?"

"We have exchanged more than 2,000 yuan here. If we exchange a few thousand yuan tomorrow, it will be too much. We can exchange a small amount and save it as a souvenir. Otherwise, the two staff members' faces turned green."

There is no need to keep all the new bills at home. They will have to be issued or deposited in the bank in the future. Just exchange some appropriately and keep them. It is best to exchange some every year.

In this way, he will have new bills issued every year.

There is no need to exchange them desperately every year.

"Okay, I'll exchange 100 yuan of various denominations tomorrow, and keep it as a souvenir."

"Well, I come here every year to exchange different denominations and collect the currency of each year."

"This is good."

"Get in the car and go home."

"I'll count the money when I get home."

Lin Xiuqing held the sack in her hand and smiled so hard that her teeth were not visible.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the town has a special atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. Ladders are set up on the streets to decorate with lights and colors, and the atmosphere is full of the Chinese New Year.

There are many more vendors, and the flow of people has not decreased at all near noon.

Every stall and every person carrying a load on his shoulder can see all kinds of red, couplets, window flowers, socks, insoles, towels, big and small, all kinds of Chinese red.

There is no more red than during the Chinese New Year. The streets are full of red, and the atmosphere is festive. The closer the date is, the stronger the Chinese New Year atmosphere becomes.

Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to go back. He took a small road and rode slowly, watching people happily buying New Year goods and feeling the strong New Year atmosphere.

This is the New Year atmosphere that no amount of money can buy in the future.

Although the streets are still decorated with lights and colors, the New Year atmosphere will become weaker and weaker with time.

"It's too lively. Do you want me to buy a movie ticket and take you to watch a movie tomorrow?"

"Forget it. Where can I buy tomorrow's tickets? If you buy now, it will take at least ten days."

"That's right, then take the money home first. There are a lot of people on the street now."

"Take the small road, don't go to the street. I can't move for a long time. I'm worried about the sack in my arms."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong broke through the crowd and walked into the alley. Although the road was narrow and not easy to drive, at least he moved faster than on the street.

After leaving the main street and getting on the main road, there were fewer people.

However, the roadsides were basically full of people carrying loads, some of them were empty after selling their goods and went home, some of them had bought a lot of New Year goods and were happily rushing back to eat.

Some of them were children who came to the market, jumping and skipping, extremely happy.

When Ye Yaodong rode past quickly on his motorcycle, he could hear the children clapping their hands and shouting excitedly.

When he returned to the village, his own children surrounded him, thinking that he had gone to buy some New Year goods and bought something.

Lin Xiuqing casually took out a new banknote that she had temporarily exchanged from her pocket, and without her saying anything, a bunch of people's eyes glowed with rage and shouted for new banknotes.

She handed the sack to Ye Yaodong to deal with, and sat at the door to exchange the banknotes for the children first.

One by one, they hurried home to take out their own private money, and even the children of nearby neighbors ran over to ask her if they could exchange.

She smiled and nodded.

The two sisters-in-law were also very tempted when they saw it, so Lin Xiuqing told them that they could go directly to the bank to exchange it. Today they went to exchange the few cents at home.

"Then we will go in the afternoon, just in time to buy some things for the New Year, and have a good harvest this year."

"Yes, this year is a good year, we can buy more New Year goods."

The news that she went to the bank to exchange new banknotes soon spread to most of the village, and many people were tempted. By the afternoon, they called their friends and ran to the bank in groups.

Lin Xiuqing instantly regretted her quick words.

When she entered the house, she regretted what she said to Ye Yaodong, "I should have known better. What if we exchanged all the money for them, we won't have new money to exchange."

"What are you afraid of? If you want to exchange, I can take you to the county town on my motorcycle."

"That's too far, a bit troublesome."

"You're so quick-witted."

"I thought it was not a big deal. Have you sorted out the money?"

"Most of them are in consecutive numbers, and there are only a few that are not in consecutive numbers. I picked them out. You can do it in a few days. Take the new banknotes and give them to the boatmen and the employees in the workshop as New Year's red envelopes, so that you can also share in the New Year's joy."

"Okay."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the piles of new banknotes on the bed and felt that they couldn't be stuffed into the closet like this.

Seeing a stack of old newspapers on the table, she took out a large sheet, gestured, then folded and cut it into small pieces.

Use the cut old newspapers to fold the new money into bundles, and then use a pen to write the numbers on them to mark how much money it is.

Ye Yaodong smiled as he watched her actions, "Is it that important? Wrap it with newspapers."

"As for it, it won't curl up because of being taken back and forth."

"Then you can just write the year, and when you get a new one next year, write the date of next year, and fold them one by one."

"That makes sense."

She picked it up and marked it again.

"Help me cut the newspaper."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong felt that this was also a meaningful thing, so he helped to do it.

Then he said, "I'm thinking of going to the city again tomorrow."

"Why go again? You've been running around these days. It's rare to have a rest today. Why are you going to the city tomorrow? Are you worried that no one will look after the warehouse? My elder brother and second brother are both there and haven't come back yet. They will help us look after it. Why don't you call and ask?"

"No, I'm not that worried with your elder brother and second brother here. I just want to wish Director Chen a happy new year."

He talked about the fact that he had just gone to his house with Hong Wenle for tea, and also talked about the Fisheries Association. He also wanted to find out more.

After all, being the president of Ye in other provinces is certainly not as good as being in the local area. It does sound embarrassing, but it's okay to listen to it as a joke.

In addition, after the gray whale was taken away a few days ago, no one contacted to ask, and I also wanted to ask if there was any work.

His father was still looking forward to whether there would be any reward this time, and so were the boatmen.

However, having won a big prize once, he didn't care as much as his father.

He was also helpless with his father.

Ps: It is not good to stay up late for a long time. You need to slow down, take a break occasionally, and then continue to stay up.

Good night everyone! Happy Qixi Festival!

I am not happy at all. I have never stepped out of the door. I am a poor coder! I can only order a barbecue to comfort myself!
