Chapter 759 Envy

After entering the office, Ye Yaodong put everything on the table, took away the cloth on the basket, took out two bottles of Maotai without any concealment, and poured the remaining cigarettes out of the net bag.

Time was in a hurry, and there weren't that many of the same kind of cigarettes in the store. Anyway, they were of about the same price, so he collected them all and spent all the money in his pocket.

Seeing that both leaders were there, he was too embarrassed to pick up two packages, so he had to put the rest on the table.

"Haha, just a little care and a few pieces of steamed cake. The two leaders will take it back and give it to the family to taste. It's sweet."

In fact, there was quite a bit left, and there were more than a dozen pieces of steamed cakes in the basket. Ah Qing was very prepared, but he was afraid that there wouldn't be enough steamed cakes, which would be embarrassing.

Did he mention the two bottles of wine and the remaining cigarettes? Anyway, he took them out and put them on the table. He knew enough to let them allocate them among themselves, but he was too embarrassed to share them with them.

"The little comrade is quite polite and even specially sent it to the border guard station for distribution."

The one who spoke out must be the director. He looked upright and looked quite majestic. He probably had the legendary official authority.

"Yes, yes. Originally, we also ordered some cakes in advance and distributed them to relatives and friends according to custom. The comrades in our office have also worked hard. I must express my gratitude. It's just a few pieces of cake. The etiquette is light but the affection is heavy.”

"We'll keep the steamed cakes in this basket, and you can take the rest back. It's not easy for you fishermen to save some money from fishing."

"No, no, no, I bought them all. It will be troublesome for me to take them back. Let the two leaders accept them. I didn't buy more, it was just a little bit of care. The comrades outside also have it."

"Such quantities of tobacco and alcohol are not cheap..."

"Both leaders made it easy for me and left me a boat. Such a big cost was spent. These are just small sums. Leaders should not be humble. Besides, I didn't buy more, so I just wanted to be considerate."

"The cakes have been delivered, so I won't delay the two leaders from going to work. You are the big leaders, so you must have a lot to do. Don't delay your work because of me. I will leave first."

Ye Yaodong bowed and walked out directly to avoid them pushing him around.

He should still understand the rules like this, right?

Anyway, the things have been delivered and the greetings have been exchanged. I don't expect people to have much affection for him. At least he has shown his face and can leave a good impression, so as not to make people think that he is ignorant. He just turned around and left after getting the things.

After Ye Yaodong went out, he smiled and said hello to the others, "Thank you for your hard work, I won't disturb you at work and go back first."

"Okay, okay, Comrade Ye, walk slowly."

"Comrade Ye, walk slowly."

After receiving the things, everyone's attitude was obviously different compared to the day before yesterday, and there were smiles on their faces. This is not surprising because there are so many people.

Ye Yaodong rode back as soon as he went out. At this time, his pockets were empty and he had no ideas.

This trip can be regarded as repaying a simple favor. Director Chen must find an opportunity to go to the county seat and thank them properly.

In the past two years, he has made countless trips to the city, but he has rarely visited the county town. Apart from giving the old lady dentures, taking Ah Qing to have a sterilization, and going to the shipyard a few times, he has hardly visited the county town. Pass.

There are only one or two streets that are lively these days, which are not as lively and convenient as the street in their town, and he is also very busy.

After the squid fishing was finished, he really had to visit the county town. Ye Yaodong was thinking about it as he rode all the way home.

Ah Qing thought that he would sail out at noon, so he had lunch ready at 10:30, so that he could eat it as soon as he came back.

By the way, he was very filial and packed two large portions of meals in aluminum lunch boxes and asked him to take them to Father Ye and the others when they went out to sea after the meal.

"There was smoke coming out of our ancestral graves before I was allowed to marry you. When I go to visit the graves next year, I will have to add two more sticks of incense."

Lin Xiuqing was a little embarrassed when she told him, "What are you talking about? Seriously, I put the lunch box in the basket for you. There is also a small basket of tomatoes picked at noon. You can eat a few when your mouth is itchy." A way to satisfy your craving."

"Okay, you are really thoughtful. Tomatoes are good. They are sour and sweet and can be eaten as fruit. It's nice to eat some on a hot day."

Ye Yaodong ate his meal quickly, and he was the only one eating there. A Qing and the old lady did not move.

They have to wait for their children to finish school and wait for Ye's mother to come back from get off work to eat together.

She put her hand on her chin and smiled: "I was thinking that you love smoking and are too busy to smoke. If your mouth is itchy, eat a few tomatoes."

So considerate!

"Make more variety next year."

The tomatoes grown at home are hundreds of times more delicious than the hard, dry and tasteless tomatoes we will buy from outside in the future.

"You keep asking for more crops, but there isn't enough land in the yard for planting."

"Then plant it on the slope by the back door."

Plant the open space in advance, plant it for a few years, and build a fence. From now on, it will be your own. It is right at the back door anyway, so it is close and convenient.

"Okay, I'll go pull out the weeds on the slope when I have some free time."

The old lady also smiled and said, "Then buy more seeds next time."

"Um……"

As soon as Ye Yaodong swallowed a mouthful of rice and took a few sips from the soup basin, his eldest cousin came over to wait.

It's better to come early than to arrive by chance.

He wiped his mouth casually and said, "My eldest cousin is here and I'm fine. Have you finished your meal?"

"Eat, eat. You said you were going to sea at noon, so I specially ate early at noon. If there is anything you want to pick up or move, I will move it first. You take your time, don't be in a hurry."

"It's okay. I'm ready. Let's just go. Everything is ready and put on the boat."

He had even filled up the diesel fuel, so all he had to do was get people on board, and his father had pushed the trolley to the dock at night, so there was no need to take anything anyway.

No, there is also a basket of tomatoes and a lunch box.

"I'll get it..." The eldest cousin smiled and rushed to work.

"No, it's just a basket of things. What does it matter? I can just carry it."

Ye Yaodong raised his hand towards him and went his own way.

The eldest cousin smiled and rubbed his hands, and said as he walked: "The two boats of yours came back in time. Yesterday I heard that many people put branches down, and they all thought that they would definitely catch a lot of squid today. You can catch them at noon." This ship will get off to a good start right away.”

"Who can say for sure? I haven't even gone out to take a look yet. I'll know when the boat sails to the small islands near the coast to see if there are any boats operating."

"It should be. You are lucky and have strong momentum. God is on your side and bless you."

"Hahaha~"

"Don't laugh. In the past two days, the village has seen two fishing boats coming back one after another. They are all spreading rumors that the new Mazu temple was built and you have done a great job. Therefore, with Mazu's blessing, you can only have one fishing boat." One after another.”

"Hahahaha~" Ye Yaodong laughed even louder, "It is indeed Mazu's blessing."

"Haha, that's what everyone said. In the next two days, the roof tiles will be laid. I heard that we will hold another Mazu traveling ceremony, patrol the seaside, and ensure that everything is calm before moving into the new temple."

"Yes, there must be a ceremony to move into the new palace."

We happened to arrive in front of Thean Hou Temple, where the workers on the roof were still laying tiles. Ten days had passed, and the weather had been good recently, so the work was almost completed.

"The weather has been nice lately, so we can work quickly."

"I don't know when Mazu will be able to hire a small statue after she moves to the new palace."

It looks like he needs to invite four of them!

Three small statues are required for the three ships, and one more will be required next year when the big ship is acquired.

"I heard that after Mazu moves into the new palace, she can be invited back, but everyone said it would be better to worship her for a longer time."

Makes sense!

Ye Yaodong nodded, "It is indeed better to worship for a longer time."

He was not in a hurry at this moment. He had only ordered two statues before, and had to order two more. It would be better to worship them for a longer time before inviting them on board.

"The merit monument should wait until Mazu moves into the new palace, then lift the red cloth and erect it at the gate."

When I was going up to the beam, I heard the cadres of the village committee say something.

"That's what I said. I almost forgot that you are still the first one engraved on the merit monument. When the red cloth is lifted, you will be famous again. If the villagers know that merit is so effective, they will definitely rush to donate more. , even offering incense and paying homage can be more effective than others."

"It is better to burn incense and pay more respects. I hope that after the palace is completed this year, the villagers in our village will have smooth sailing, good luck and fortune."

"So Dongzi, what are your plans for the three boats?" The eldest cousin looked at him expectantly.

Ye Yaodong also came to his senses. No wonder he dragged him around and talked so much and complimented him in different ways. It turned out that he also had the idea of ​​​​his fishing boat.

"My three brothers plus my father, there are four of us. We plan to temporarily drive a boat each, and at most hire a few more people. We will catch the squid during this period first before fishing."

After the squid fishing season, the jellyfish season will arrive in less than two months. He plans to make another trip to Zhejiang Province. Everyone tasted the benefits last year, so they will definitely go this year, and there will definitely be boats in the village who want to follow.

His second boat has been used to fish squid in partnership with his eldest and second brothers. They have not said not to do it or if there is no conflict between the three of them, they will definitely continue to cooperate.

By then, the jellyfish's flood season will definitely continue to close, and no one else's turn will be there, unless his big boat comes back.

"Hey, that's right. It's true. You three brothers and your father can each drive a boat. Just hire someone else."

"That's the plan for the time being. I don't know if there will be any changes in the future. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe I will have a few more ships later."

"That's right, if you need anything, just call me. We cousins ​​are much closer than outsiders, so we are definitely more reliable."

"Okay, sure, our own people are definitely more trustworthy than outsiders."

I don’t know if anyone else has the idea of ​​​​his fishing boat. Three boats are indeed a lot. The whole village should be envious.
