Chapter 417 Start of Construction
Ye Yaodong also thought for a while and asked his father: "Dad, if I calculate it this way, I only donated 50. If I really want to be honest, is it not enough to invite Mazu on board?"
"I will give you 50 and count it into your account. This will make the merit book look better."
"Ah, no, no, I can just make up for it myself. Just 50 yuan isn't much."
"You already have enough merit, everyone knows it. I was going to contribute a share, just add it to yours."
"Then list your name separately."
"It doesn't make any difference. I've always been tied to you anyway." It's hard not to be tied up. The old lady has a precious grandson at home.
Ye Yaodong shook his head, "That's different. Doesn't this mean engraving a merit monument? Of course it would be better to engrave your name alone. Anyway, none of us are short of the 50 yuan."
Father Ye thought about it, that was true.
"Then let's talk about it when we go back."
Others were walking and talking, and they all planned to go back and discuss it before coming back.
Later, Lin Xiuqing and Ye Mu also said that they would donate their own money and register with their own names.
Even the old lady said that merit should be recorded separately. Whoever donates money should of course write his name. Otherwise, how would Mazu know whether you donated or not?
Ye Yaodong also feels that the merits of building the temple belong to those who built the temple. This has already made him the first in the merit monument. Inviting Mazu on board the boat to invite Mazu are two different things and cannot be confused. At least add 50 yuan to make it enough. Please meet the standards.
After a while, he and his father took advantage of the village committee's closing time to donate another 50 yuan each.
The happy Secretary Chen repeatedly praised him for being a good young student and for being so thoughtful, "Finally, I didn't bear the pressure in vain."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Yesterday morning, you blurted out that asking me to be engraved in the first place on the Merit Monument made it difficult for you?"
"It's okay, you deserve this! Don't be afraid, the villagers all agree, and no one has anything to say."
He nodded. Secretary Chen was still a good person and took good care of him.
After the father and son finished donating, they all called it a day.
In the next few days, the villagers in the village also donated similar amounts one after another. There were hundreds of names and amounts in the merit book. Basically every household donated.
Those who have gone overseas donate more, and those who have not gone overseas donate less. Except for some elderly people who donate a few yuan to express their gratitude, most people donate ten yuan.
And the dozens of families who had a big boat at home and planned to invite Mazu on board the boat all followed the rules and donated one hundred.
Calculating this, the donation from this village alone is several thousand, mainly because of the large population of their village.
Without the title of official donation, the villagers in their own village could have raised funds to build it, but it just couldn't be that big. In the previous life, the village raised funds to build it two or three years later.
But now that we have the opportunity to take advantage of the government, we must take advantage of it. We can't give them free things. And if we can build a bigger Mazu temple, it will definitely be better.
Thinking about the efforts of the villagers, everyone despises the 500 yuan from the museum even more. This money can only build an adobe house, which is an advantage for them, and they get so many things for them to leave.
There are also surrounding villages. The villages around them are close to each other. Most people will not choose to go to other villages to donate, but those who have boats may not. Everyone also wants to ask a small statue of Mazu to go on the boat to ensure safety. .
….
Mazu is one family in the world!
In the next few days, not only the surrounding villages, but also the boat bosses in the small and large villages around the town who had boats came to donate after hearing the news.
Some of them may have just come down from the sea and just read the newspaper. After hearing about it, they hurried over.
Although there are Mazu temples in other places, there is no talk of rebuilding or repairing the temple. Now that the Mazu temple in Baisha Village needs to be rebuilt, it is an officially recognized fund-raising initiative. Of course, it is more eye-catching, and you can also donate money to invite Mazu to come on board.
The village cadres all looked at the increasing amount of money in the merit book, and more and more people from other villages came here to see it. They almost laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
People from other villages felt even more relieved when they saw that there were official people at the donation locations.
The leaders are also very satisfied, mainly because there are quite a lot of things salvaged, and their work is not in vain just sitting here.
Ye Yaodong also felt that the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea seemed to be quite impressive. It could still be salvaged for half a month, and it was transported away one by one every day, which really made them a lot of money.
On the day when the construction started, the villagers didn't happen to go out to sea because of the strong waves at night, so they all spontaneously ran around the pier to watch.
Because the funds were very sufficient, the Mazu temple was designed to be quite large and included a stage, with space in the middle for people to watch the show.
The original small temple will not be demolished for the time being, but will stay there first. Construction will start from the land next to it, and finally the small temple next to it will be included.
This will also allow Mazu to have a temporary habitat to avoid being affected by a typhoon in the near future, and some dilapidated places have been repaired.
Typhoons hit their coastal areas every year and are affected every year.
Four or five days before the construction of the Mazu Temple was in full swing, the house his family built for the old lady and the surrounding walls were all built, and all the workers moved to the Mazu Temple to work.
The house had been left to dry for a few days, and it happened to be a good day for the Mazu Temple to start construction. The three brothers Ye Yaodong moved all the old lady's things over on a cart.
The old lady's eyes widened with joy, and she stood at the door of the new house and kept mumbling, "I have lived well in my hometown after all this effort. If you insist on asking me to move here, how many days can I live there..."
Mother Ye also muttered, "How much does it cost to surround such a big yard? Are you afraid that people will come to your door and spit out the melon seed shells, or are you afraid that the vegetables will be stolen? No one has surrounded the entire land like you." Enclosed in your own home?"
This time, before Ye Yaodong could refute, Father Ye spoke first, "You don't care what he does? Just encircle it. Anyway, his house is right next to it, so it doesn't bother anyone? And he just enclosed the land. his."
This is really true, if he encloses it, it is his. He went to the village committee a few days ago and told him that he was allowed to enclose it without even asking for money.
"Aren't I afraid that he will ruin all his family's fortune? What's the use of enclosing it?"
"This is land, what do you think it is for?"
Mother Ye stopped talking.
Second Sister-in-law Ye frowned and said, "If I had known we wouldn't have chosen the middle, we would have had more land if we had chosen the side. Now we can only grow vegetables on the slope behind."
….
Sister-in-law Ye also secretly wondered whether the land in front of the house should also be fenced off?
Otherwise, if someone comes to build a house here, they will use the land she reclaimed for temporary vegetable planting to build, and she will not even have room to grow vegetables.
But she thought that she would need money to buy it and to fence it, so she immediately gave up the idea. Anyway, she could plant it now, so there was no need to spend money to fence it.
After Ye Yaodong heard what his second sister-in-law said, he said seriously: "At that time, they were divided from big to small, with the big on the left and the small on the right. In the village, didn't the houses built by brothers in the village always be divided into big on the left and small on the right? You didn't do that at that time. My opinion, no matter how we line up, you are always in the middle."
"Besides, I bought the land with my own money, and I also spent my own money to surround the fence. I had been visited by petty thieves once before, so I thought I was going to build a house anyway, so I built a fence by the way. "
Ye Yaodong also told the wall-builder the same thing. He said that he had been visited by a thief once before. Fortunately, there was no loss. Just in case, he built one to avoid losing money. It was a small thing to have family members injured and killed. In recent years, because of the educated youth Back in the city, there are too many gangsters who have no job, no education, and no skills.
Father Ye knew about his current financial situation, so he thought it would be a good idea to surround him. He looked at the glass fragments and broken porcelain pieces stuck on the wall. They stood there one by one. The tops were so sharp that when the sun shone on them, some of them still reflected. Under the dazzling light, most people would have to retreat, and there was a dog, so most people would have to consider it.
After his second sister-in-law diverted the firepower, Ye's mother stopped talking about Ye Yaodong and instead talked about second sister-in-law Ye.
"If you didn't say it then, what will you say now? If you had any objections at that time, the three of you would have built it separately and paid for the land yourself. You can build a palace in as much area as you want."
"I'm just talking casually." Sister-in-law Ye pursed her lips and walked out.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and changed the subject and said, "With a yard built, the house feels bigger."
Ye Yaodong agreed, "Of course it will be bigger with one more room."
Sister-in-law Ye smiled and looked at the old lady with a happy face, "Grandma, are you very happy? It just so happens that you love A Dong the most. Now you are living with him in old age. You are in a good mood. You can eat one more bowl of food every day. Maybe there will be more. Live a few years and live to be 100 years old.”
"Why do you live so long? This person just needs to live as long as he can. He must die when he deserves to die. Otherwise, he will be a drag on others." The old lady said this with a smile, but she was very open-minded.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You have so many daughters-in-law, why should your grandson's daughter-in-law be bothered?" Father Ye said unhappily.
"I know it well!"
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "What do you have in mind? How can you have the final say? Don't talk about this all day long, just live hard. I will give you a happy birthday when you are one hundred years old."
"Okay, okay~ You have the final say, then I will live to be 100 years old..."
“It’s not a waste to live a few more years!”
The old lady smiled and said without temper: "Okay, okay, then I will live a few more years..."
Mother Ye looked at the two nannies and said in a sour voice: "I know how to be filial to your grandma and make her happy every day. I don't see how filial you are to my mother. You know how to get angry with me and talk back to me every day."
"After all, you didn't treat me like a treasure like the old lady."
"How can I treat you as a treasure? Don't you know what your own virtues are? It's great that I can raise you so big without beating you to death."
"Look...he thinks about beating me to death every day..."
Mother Ye picked up the whip on the table next to her and was about to swing it at him twice, but he cleverly hid behind his father, pushed his father against his mother, and then hurriedly ran out.
Behind him, he could only hear his mother's scolding, "Go away, you old fool, just die..."
"Hey, hey, you bastard (woman)... it's none of my business, why are you scolding me too..."
"I'm just scolding you for giving birth to a good son."
"Isn't it you who gave birth to him?"
Ye Yaodong listened to his mother's angry scolding behind him, as well as the slapping sound of his father, mixed with his father's childish voice, making the house seem extremely lively.
He raised the corners of his mouth, put on the sunhat on the stool at the door, and walked outside briskly.
