Chapter 387 Come again
Ye Yaodong stood up and was about to go to the house for dinner, but he saw Secretary Chen coming in a hurry not far away, so he had to stop again, and sent Ah Qing and the two children into the house for dinner.
"Why is Secretary Chen here again? Did you just send him away? Go in and have a drink or two."
Secretary Chen sighed as soon as he came up to him, "You can really make trouble."
"It's none of my business, why is this making me trouble? I can't predict the prophets, and I didn't call them here."
"Then what do you think is going to happen now? Before these leaders leave, they asked us to find a way to do ideological work for the villagers and get everyone to agree to donate. Isn't this embarrassing? If it were me, I would not be willing to move them away."
"Go in and talk, drink two glasses of wine, sit down and talk slowly."
Secretary Chen waved his hand, "I won't go in, it's too hot, and I'm sweating all over when I walk in. I'll blow some air at the door first."
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to move a stool out of the room, and the two sat at the door to blow the air and chat.
"Your entrance is cooler than the village."
"It's okay, it's hot now, and the southeast wind is blowing. It's cool to sit in front of the door and the sea breeze blows head-on. It's more comfortable at night, and it's not stuffy at all. In autumn and winter, the northwest wind blows from the back of the house, and it can't reach the front of the house. ,fine."
"It's pretty good." Secretary Chen went back to the topic after some chatter, "Hey, tell me what the folks here are going to do with their ideological work?"
"You ask me, how do I know, isn't this your job?"
"Didn't you make this up?"
"Nonsense!"
"The source is you, don't quibble."
"Hmph, those people didn't ask me to do ideological work for the villagers, not to mention that I also kindly donated it to Mazu for blessing."
"Otherwise, would you like to donate instead?"
"Scary!" Ye Yaodong stood up with wide-eyed eyes, "Are you kidding me? This god's thing, donate it after you donate it? Am I out of my mind? You can figure it out on your own, don't get me wrong, I'm not a fool! "
Secretary Chen smiled embarrassedly, and knew that he had come up with a bad idea, "I didn't think about it just now, so I said it casually, hehe~ It's a headache, forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow, and let them figure it out by themselves."
"Well... do you think there are such things in the sea? Let them fish for a few more, or get them another tripod, so that they won't miss Mazu's big tripod?"
Ye Yaodong said angrily, "You think it's so easy to fish? You can fish whatever you want? Let me tell you, even if they can still salvage the bronze, they will not let go of that big tripod. The tripod is not ordinary."
"That is also, oh, a headache, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Now Ye Yaodong doesn't want to keep him anymore, just now he wanted to give him advice and solve problems, hmph~ Now let him have a few more headaches.
When he was eating, Father Ye also sold out the goods and came back. He also listened to Mother Ye tell the whole story, whether there was any embellishment mixed with his own opinion, he didn't know, anyway, Father Ye also knew the whole story. .
"Don't meddle, they want to take Ding away, so let them negotiate with the village committee and villagers, we can't be this villain."
"Can I still not understand this? I just cooperate with them to work normally."
"It will take a few more days to go to sea, too much delay." Father Ye was also a little depressed.
"Would you like to have a bite here? I don't have time to cook at night, so I just eat the dishes at noon."
Father Ye waved his hand, "Your mother has already gone back to cook, the old lady made the meal in advance, I just go back and eat."
Ye Yaodong nodded and continued to eat his own.
On the second day, half of the workers from the Zhou family next door came out to work for him.
It is said that the stones and loess picked during this period are enough, and the rest just need to be built. If there is not enough, go to the mountain or the river to get some more.
The chisel masters don’t have much work, so they can just distribute half of the labor to them today, and let the workers go to the mountains to pick the materials. You don’t need to ask them to buy them, as long as the sand is evenly distributed. Pay a few wages.
Of course Ye Yaodong had no objection, he thought he would have to wait ten days and half a month until they were almost done before they could come to him.
In the morning, when he came back from chopping firewood, he would sit at the door to enjoy the breeze, choose vegetables by the way, watch the workers go back and forth, and wait for someone from the county to come by the way.
In the end, I waited and waited, and the whole morning passed without seeing anyone. He was so depressed, didn't he tell him to wait at home?
"Ah Dong, is anyone here yet? It's already noon." Lin Xiuqing was also puzzled when she came out after cooking the workers' meals.
"Who knows, tell me to wait at home not to go to sea, but I didn't even see anyone."
Father Ye also came over carrying a load of stones, wiped the sweat off his face with the towel wrapped around his neck, and said, "I haven't come all day, I was cheated, and wasting a day at home for nothing. I know that I will go to sea at night."
"How do I know? Those people agreed to come, but they didn't come again. I don't know what kind of plane they are going to use, so I wasted a day for nothing."
"I didn't make any money, and I still have to spend money outside, but what's the matter? You too, the money is so hot, okay, why do you need to build another house? There are a lot of empty houses in the old house, and I'm afraid the old lady has no place. Live? If you can’t afford to live, you’ll mess around, if you can’t save money, put it with us, and your mother and I will save it for you.”
Father Ye needs to help with his work, and he has to talk too much, talking about everything he can't see.
"I didn't ask you to do it, and I didn't spend your money, so don't be naughty, just pretend you didn't see it, and you don't see it."
"I care about you? I'm afraid that if you mess around all day long, you'll ruin your family. In the future, you won't be able to raise your children, and you'll have to beg for food when you get old."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Isn't there you?"
"You bastard, don't worry for a moment. I don't expect you to take care of me. Do you still expect me to take care of you? Don't wait at home tomorrow. Don't worry about them. Just go to sea at night. Earn more money to have a family. You lose."
He frowned hesitantly, and thought for a while, "I'll go to Secretary Chen's house and ask."
In the end, Secretary Chen told him to wait another day tomorrow. If he didn't come to sea again tomorrow, he had to wait patiently for another day.
As a result, the next morning, he was breaking corn in the corn field next to the house, planning to cook some for the two children in the afternoon, when he heard his sister-in-law trotting back and shouting: "The people from the county are here again."
"Coming? Heading here?"
Ye Yaodong speeded up his movements, planning to break a few more, otherwise he would have no time later, and if it was later, the sun would be even bigger, so there was no way he could go out.
Who knows, Mrs. Ye said: "No, they were stopped by the villagers at the entrance of the village and couldn't get in. I heard that someone has already called the village committee."
"Ah? Why was he stopped at the entrance of the village and couldn't get in?"
"I heard that I was afraid that the officials would be unreasonable. I wanted to move the tripod of the Mazu Temple away. I deliberately took a few nets and opened them at the intersection to prevent those people from entering. It is said that it was discussed by the old men in the village yesterday afternoon." The idea is that as soon as they see that group of people entering the village, they will open the net so that they can't get in."
Ye Yaodong couldn’t laugh or cry, it’s not because you stopped them, if you don’t let them in, they won’t be able to enter, the old man in the village is really scary, and he’s really good.
"It's useless. After the village chief and the secretary find out, they can come in as usual."
The second sister-in-law Ye also muttered: "That tripod doesn't look special, does it? The yellow, yellow and green ones don't look good. There are not all of them in temples. Why do you have to find this one from the sea? It's thousands of years ago. Things, it’s not just a tripod, and it’s worth tens of dollars at most if you sell it, so why are you so persistent?”
Sister-in-law Ye didn’t understand either, “What cultural relics are they? I don’t know what to use them for? They can’t eat or drink, and they don’t look good.”
"That's right, it's not troublesome to come all the way..."
Lin Xiuqing came out and said with a smile: "Maybe people want to take it back and study it. Isn't it rare that things from thousands of years ago can be preserved to this day?"
"That's true."
The three sisters-in-law were chatting away, and Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to run to the entrance of the village. Anyway, the village committee had already left, and they would come here soon.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
Only ten minutes later, the original team came again, and the village committee members were all smiles on their faces, walking towards their house while talking, and there were a few more tall and straight people behind them. A man, just by looking at his temperament, he knew he was a soldier.
That upright standing posture made him ashamed of a thick-skinned person who was used to standing or sitting.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong, I'm really sorry that I made you wait for nothing yesterday. It's really because things haven't been arranged properly, so I can't come here." The old man, the curator of the cultural center, said politely.
"You didn't come yesterday and didn't say anything, which made me wait all day. My father told me to go to sea at night. Fortunately, I thought about waiting one more day to see. If you didn't come yesterday, if you come today, you will pounce again at that time." It was empty, and it seemed like I had broken my promise. Fortunately, you came today, otherwise I would not wait tomorrow."
"Sorry, there were too many things yesterday, and I didn't think about it thoroughly."
"Then what are you going to do today? What is the arrangement?" Ye Yaodong said while looking at the soldiers, wondering why he brought the soldiers on purpose?
Do you want to be a bodyguard?
Afraid that the villagers will use force unreasonably?
"Could you please take us to the sea area where you caught the bronze ware first? I don't know how deep the seabed is at the moment. We have deployed a few people who are familiar with water and plan to try to dive into the water to have a look. Have you found it?"
It turned out to be for diving.
"OK."
Seeing that they didn't mention the bronze cauldron, Ye Yaodong was also happy not to ask, lest he ask for trouble.
Take them to that sea area earlier, and retire sooner, regardless of what they can fish up from the bottom, anyway, he has already gained benefits.
