Chapter 416 Donation

Lin Xiuqing looked at the things piled at the door and asked his friends. Lan

After listening to what everyone said one by one, I learned what had just happened in front of the village committee. She had to take care of her children and prepare food and tea for the workers. She couldn't leave, so she didn't go there.

"Those leaders are really good at calculating. Everything is calculated for them, clearly."

"Isn't that right? Otherwise, how could he be the leader and we are just country folk?"

The old lady smiled at the side and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You can earn money slowly. Merit is important. Mazu is watching. She will definitely bless our boss to have smooth sailing and make a lot of money safely."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said, "What grandma said is that these things can also bring comfort. When the time comes, we will also invite a small statue of Mazu to be put on the boat."

"Yes, yes, I definitely want this. Take this flag and hang it up first. It's an honorable thing anyway."

With Ye Chengyang's assist episode, Ye Yaodong's remaining punishment was also passed over by him. Lan

A group of people were sitting at the door playing cards to pass the time, and the old lady was sitting nearby and listening to the radio.

She also specially took a stool and placed it in the corner facing the workers, and played the sound loudly so that everyone could listen while working.

The workers were also very happy, and they could listen to the radio while working. There was nothing better than this. Everyone praised Ye Yaodong for his filial piety and said all kinds of nice things, which made the old lady feel extremely comfortable.

When it was almost time for dinner, the two couples, Father Ye, Mother Ye, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, came back belatedly.

As soon as Ye Mu came over, she walked directly towards the bucket of tea at the door, picked up the plastic water cup, and drank a large cup of tea before she could breathe again.

"It's so hot, it's noon."

Ye Yaodong held the poker in his hand and asked curiously: "Why didn't you come back until now?" Lan

"Your dad and the others are watching the fun, but I work there and am so busy. The folks are so enthusiastic. They want to donate money on the spot. They are in a hurry and don't have any rules. It makes a mess."

"What should we do?"

"I discussed it with the elders in the village earlier and said that I would go to the Mazu Temple in the afternoon to put up an awning and start the donation registration there tomorrow. It just so happened that the Mazu Temple was not far from the pier. We would set up a shed there. Those leaders did not go out to sea. Yes, you can sit there and rest, and you can still see what’s going on outside the pier.”

"Also, if people from other villages come to donate money, they can see that it was indeed supported by the county leaders and initiate it, which can further stimulate everyone's enthusiasm and avoid thinking that we are cheating money."

Ye Yaodong nodded and thought it made sense. It was better to set up a tent in front of the Mazu Temple and donate money than to donate money at the village committee.

"Mom, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a few days. I feel that your whole person is different. Your face is red and full of energy. You look younger and your speech is also different."

Xiaoxiao also echoed, "Yes, I haven't seen my aunt for a while. She is completely different from the previous time." Lan

Azheng also smiled and praised, "It looks fashionable."

"You are just discovering it now. I have discovered it a long time ago. Since my mother-in-law joined the Women's Federation, she has become full of energy and her temperament has improved."

After finishing speaking, Aguang smiled and gave her some advice, "Mom, curly hair is very popular nowadays. You can go to town to have it curly. I'm sure you will outshine all the women in the village."

….

Mother Ye was still talking seriously to them, but after hearing their compliments, she laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and even touched her hair.

"I'm already this old, why do I still have curly hair? I don't want people to laugh at me, the old monster."

"Who dares? You are now a director of the Women's Federation, but you can decide life or death with just one sentence."

"That's not okay. You can't say that. They are all from the countryside." Mother Ye quickly asked them to stop. Lan

"Has your wife's rice been cooked? I'm going to help."

Mother Ye smiled and went into the house to do some work again.

Ye Yaodong curiously asked the three of them, "How much money are you planning to donate?"

Aguang thought for a while, "Let's see, how much do we need to donate to put a small statue of Mazu on the boat? We will donate as much as we can then."

The other two people also echoed, "Well, we are the same, please put the Mazu statue on the boat to ensure safety."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "If this is more than 50 yuan, then I, the top brother on the list, am a little unworthy of my position."

"What do you mean?" Lan

The three of them were all a little confused. What does "big brother" mean? Number one on the merit list?

"If you donate one or two hundred yuan to buy a small statue of Mazu, I only donated 50 yuan, and then the series of numbers below are one or two hundred yuan. It feels a bit unsightly!"

"Seems to be."

"Then you take a look at it then. If the difference is not big, just make up the difference. It probably won't be much different, and you shouldn't be short of that much. If it's a big difference, forget it. Everyone knows your contribution anyway."

"Yes, the villagers all know that the completion of the Mazu Temple is all due to you. My mother-in-law said that it was you who came up with the idea to ask the county leaders to publish the donation in the newspaper."

The three of them finished speaking in one sentence. When A Guang said this, Xiao Xiao and A Zheng were surprised again.

"Really or not, when did Dongzi's brain become so good?" Lan

"I've always been smarter than you."

"Cut~"

"Give me money, give me money~50K!"

"My last three cards are also fifty K, yeah ~ give me the money!" After saying that, Ye Yaodong gave A Guang a high-five.

The fifty K they played was against their opponent.

"Selinmu, you two are shameless in showing off and don't count the remaining three cards!" Azheng's eyes widened and he threw the cards on the table and accused Ye Yaodong and Aguang.

"Aren't you having fun chatting? I forgot, please give me the money quickly." Lan

"You just deliberately changed the subject to deceive our attention."

A Guang smiled and patted the table twice, and urged: "I'm willing to admit defeat. Pay me quickly. I have to go home for dinner. My wife won't be able to eat well without me."

"Fuck you, you're making it look like you don't have a wife." Ah Zheng cursed and counted the money outside. "You're so good at paying for everything, why should I change my name... I'm so angry..."

"Hmph~"

Aguang raised his chin and snorted, only to hear them making fun of him.

"Shunzi!"

"Crushed to death!" Lan

"Shunzi!"

"Crushed to death!"

"Get out of here, you can't afford to fight against me. I'll crush you to death. I'll crush you to death. Go home and eat."

When the three of them were playing cards, they felt it was too hot, so they took off their clothes and played shirtless. Now they got up, threw a piece of clothing over their shoulders, and left.

….

Ye Yaodong put the poker away and rolled it up with a rubber band, keeping it for next time.

Seeing that the waves were not that big at night, they went out to sea as usual. God also arranged the weather well. Just as the matter was settled, they were allowed to go out to sea immediately.

When they came back the next evening, they saw a tent set up in front of the Mazu Temple and several tables in front of it, and they looked decent. Lan

Several cadres from the village committee were sitting there, as were several leaders from the county.

Everyone has an enamel cup in front of them, and they take a few sips of tea from time to time. It looks very leisurely, the sun is not shining, and the sea breeze is blowing. It is much more comfortable than sitting in the village committee.

There were also several villagers gathered around the table, all of whom had just returned from the sea and came over to take a look out of curiosity.

"Let me see, who has donated?"

"I don't know a few big characters, can you understand?"

“I can’t read people’s names, but I can look at the numbers and see how much everyone has donated.”

"After donating the money now, can I still come over and donate again?" Lan

Secretary Chen nodded: "Of course. It's impossible to give it back to you. If you want to donate more, that's definitely possible."

After Ye Yaodong and the others finished selling the goods, they came over with a cart and said, "Let us see..."

"Secretary Chen, how much do you need to donate to buy a small statue of Mazu?" Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

“We discussed it and decided that if the donation reached 100 yuan, everyone would be allowed to buy a small statue of Mazu, mainly to ensure everyone’s safety when going to sea. 100 yuan is equivalent to two months’ wages of an average worker, and the villagers can afford it. "

"Of course, in order to accumulate more merit, you can donate more if you want. The more you donate, the more merit you will have."

The fishermen who came back from the boats around them cooed a few times and nodded, thinking that 100 yuan was not a lot.

Although fishermen are a high-risk profession, their income is much higher than that of ordinary workers, mainly because they can go to sea more times when the weather is good. Lan

If there is no good weather to go to sea, it will be useless for them, they all have to rely on luck.

But Ye Yaodong just took a look at the merit book, and no one donated 100 yuan on it. Only his name was the first to write 50 yuan. There were only a few yuan in the list, and the largest amount was only 10 yuan. There were only a few. .

He also saw familiar names, the old lady's name was also on it, and she was one of the few donations worth ten yuan.

He pointed to the merit book, "Are these donations from the elderly in the village?"

The name seems a bit familiar, and I have heard it called by people in the village occasionally.

"Yes, you young people all went to sea at night, or went to work early in the morning. Today, some old people in the village took the lead in donating money. Although they don't go to sea anymore in their old age, they have worshiped Mazu all their lives and have tried their best. Work hard and accumulate some merit.”

"Oh." Lan

Secretary Chen looked at the others and said, "It's not yet time to get off work. Those of you who should donate should go back and get the money to donate. You can't catch up on going to sea at night."

"We people in our village should be more active, donate more, and list more amounts on the list. People from other villages can come and look at the donation book. It looks good."

Everyone nodded.

….

Ye Yaodong asked again: "Has it been published in the county newspaper? Also, has the date for the start of construction been calculated?"

"Yes, yes, I'll do it early in the morning. Once I've calculated the date, I'll go to the county to publish the newspaper. A leader came forward and said that I could jump in the queue to the latest issue and the most eye-catching position."

[In view of the general environment,

Other village cadres added: "The day to start construction is half a month later, on the ninth day of June, July 18th in the Gregorian calendar. There is exactly half a month to raise money. At that time, a corresponding design can be made based on the funds raised. If we plan to start construction, we can raise money while starting work later, and if there is any leftover, we can use it for later maintenance.”

"That's pretty good." Lan

"So, the folks have donated everything they should have in the past two days, right? Let's make the merit book look better. When people from the surrounding villages come to donate, they can also see how active our village is."

The village official next to him also echoed, "Many people from the neighboring village came to watch after hearing about it today. Everyone must set an example for our village."

"Building a Mazu temple was originally what the villagers in our village wanted. Donating in the morning and donating in the evening are the same. The villagers should be more enthusiastic. The extra effort will bring more merit."

"Okay, okay."

These people who had just returned from the sea nodded.

"Let's go back and discuss how much to donate..."

"If it's too late, let the women at home come over tomorrow to donate..." Lan
