Ye Yaodong also thought about it for a while, and asked his father: "Father, I only donated 50, if I really want to be serious, isn't it enough to invite Mazu to board the boat?"
"I'll give you 50, count it into your account, so that the merit book will look better."
"Ah, no need, I'll make up for it myself, and 50 yuan is not much."
"You have enough merits, everyone knows it. I also want to give a share, just add it to you."
"Then list your name alone."
"There's no difference, I've been tied to you anyway." It's hard not to be tied up, and there is an old lady with a precious grandson at home.
Ye Yaodong shook his head, "That's different. Doesn't this mean that you need to engrave a stele of merit? Of course, it would be better to engrave your name alone. Anyway, none of us are short of the 50 yuan."
Father Ye thinks about it, that's true.
"Then go back and talk about it."
Others also walked and talked, and they all planned to go back and discuss it before coming back.
Later, Lin Xiuqing and Ye Mu also said that they donated their own money and wrote their names for registration.
Even the old lady said that merits should be recorded separately. Whoever donates the money, of course write whose name, otherwise how would Mazu know whether you donated or not?
Ye Yaodong also felt that the merits of building the temple belonged to the building of the temple, which already made him the first place on the monument of merit. Asking Mazu to board the boat and returning to invite Mazu are two different things, and they should not be confused with each other. At least 50 yuan should be added to achieve enough. Standards please.
Not long after, he and Father Ye took advantage of the time before the village committee got off work to donate another 50 yuan.
The happy Secretary Chen repeatedly praised him as a good young man, and he was really thoughtful, "Finally, I didn't bear the pressure in vain."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Yesterday morning, you blurted out, asking me to be engraved on the first place on the monument of merit is difficult for you?"
"It's nothing, you should do it! Don't be afraid, the villagers agree, and no one has anything to say."
He nodded, Secretary Chen is still okay, and he took good care of him.
When the father and son finished their donations, they also quit work.
In the next few days, the villagers in the village also donated almost one after another. There are hundreds of names and amounts in the merit book, and basically every household has donated.
Those who go to sea donate more, and those who don’t go donate less. Except for some elderly people who donate a few dollars to show their hearts, most people donate ten dollars.
The family has a big boat, and the dozen or so households who plan to invite Mazu to board the boat, all follow the rules and donate one hundred.
Calculated in this way, Guangben Village has donated thousands of dollars, mainly because of the large population of their village.
If there is no name for official donations, the villagers of their own village can raise funds to build the building, but they can't build it so big. It was built after two or three years in the previous life.
But now that there is an opportunity to use the official, it must be used. It can’t be cheap for them, and it must be better if the Mazu Temple can be built even bigger.
Thinking of how awesome the folks are, everyone despises the museum’s 500 yuan even more. This money can only build an adobe house, which is cheaper for them, and they get so many things to go.
There are also surrounding villages. The villages around them are close to each other. Most people will not choose to donate to other villages, but those who have boats are not necessarily. Everyone also wants to invite a small statue of Mazu to board the boat to keep them safe. .
Mazu is a family in the world!
Waiting for the next few days, not only the surrounding villages, but even the boat bosses in the large and small villages around the town who have boats also came to donate after hearing the news.
Some of them may have just come down from the sea, only read the newspaper, heard about it, and came here in a hurry.
Although there are Mazu temples in other places, they did not say that they will be rebuilt or repaired. Now that the Mazu temple in Baisha Village is going to be rebuilt, it is still an official fundraising initiative.
The village cadres looked at the increasing amount of money on the merit book and the increasing number of people from other villages, and they almost couldn't close their mouths.
The people from other villages feel more at ease when they see that there are official people in the donation places.
The leaders are also very satisfied, mainly because there are quite a lot of salvaged things, and it is not in vain for them to sit here.
Ye Yaodong also felt that the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea seemed to be quite amazing, and it could still be salvaged for half a month, and it was transported away basket by basket every day, which really made them a lot of money.
Waiting until the day when the construction started, because of the big waves at night, the villagers happened not to go out to sea, so they spontaneously ran around the pier to watch.
Because the funds are very sufficient, the designed Mazu Temple is not small, it also includes a stage, and there is still an open space in the middle for people to watch the play.
The original small temple will not be demolished for the time being, but will be left there first, and 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, so as not to be affected by typhoons in the near future, and some dilapidated places have also been repaired.
Their coastal areas experience typhoons every year and are affected every year.
The house had been hanging out for a few days, and it happened to be a good day on the day when the Mazu Temple started construction. The three brothers Ye Yaodong moved all the things of the old lady here with a cart.
The old lady’s eyes were all smiles, she stood at the door of the new house and kept muttering, “After all this hard work, I’ve lived well in my old house. If you insist on asking me to move here, I can live for a few days…”
Mother Ye also murmured, "How much does it cost to surround such a large yard? Are you afraid that others will come to your door and spit out melon seeds, or are you afraid that the vegetables will be stolen? No one has the whole land like you. Go to your own house?"
This time, without waiting for Ye Yaodong to refute, Father Ye spoke first, "What do you care about him? Enclose it and enclose it. Anyway, his house is on the side, so it doesn't hinder anyone? And he just encloses the land. his."
This is really true. If he circled it, it will be his. He went to the village committee a few days ago and said that he was allowed to circle him without even asking for money.
"Aren't I afraid that he will lose all his family fortune? What's the use of this circle?"
"This is land, what do you think it is for?"
Mother Ye stopped talking.
Ms. Ye frowned and said, "I knew we wouldn't have chosen the middle. If we chose the side, there would be more land. Now we can only grow vegetables on the **** behind."
Sister-in-law Ye also wondered secretly, should the land in front of the house be fenced as well?
Otherwise, if someone wants to come here to build a house at that time, the land she plowed out to grow vegetables temporarily will be used to build them, and she doesn't even have a place to grow vegetables.
But she thought that she needed money to buy it, and she needed money to fence it, so she immediately gave up the idea. Anyway, it can be planted now, so there is no need to spend money to fence it.
After Ye Yaodong heard his second sister-in-law's words, he said seriously: "At that time, they were divided according to the order from big to small, the left side was big, and the right side was small. Brothers in the village built houses, and the left side was big and the right side was small, didn't you? Opinion, anyway, no matter how you line up, you are all in the middle."
"Besides, I bought these lands with my own money, and I also spent my own money to surround the walls. I was patronized by a thief once before, so I thought that I would build a house anyway, so I built a fence by the way. "
Ye Yaodong also told the master who built the wall in the same way. He said that he was patronized by a thief once before, but fortunately there was no loss. He built one just in case. Losing money is small, and family casualties are big. Back in the city, there are too many gangsters who have no job, no education and no skills.
Father Ye knew his current family background, so he thought it would be a good idea to make a fence. Looking at the shards of glass and broken porcelain stuck in the wall, they stood there one by one, and the top was very sharp. When the sun shines on it, some of them still reflect. Looking at the dazzling light, ordinary people have to retreat, and there is a dog, and ordinary people have to weigh it.
After his second sister-in-law diverted the firepower, mother Ye stopped talking about Ye Yaodong, and instead talked about second sister-in-law Ye.
"If you didn't say it then, what are you talking about now? If you had any objections at the time, the three of you would build it separately and pay for the land yourself. You can build as much area as you want. You can build a palace if you want."
"I'm just talking casually like this." Second Aunt Ye pursed her lips, twisted her body and walked out.
Lin Xiuqing changed the subject with a smile and said: "This is a yard, but it feels like the house is bigger."
Ye Yaodong echoed, "Of course there is an extra room."
Mrs. Ye smiled and looked at the happy old lady, "Aren't you so happy? It happens that you love A Dong the most, and now you are taking care of him, and you are in a good mood. You can eat an extra bowl of rice every day, maybe even more Live for a few years, live to be 100 years old."
"Why do you live so long? It's good for this person to live as long as possible. He must die when he deserves to die. Otherwise, he will drag others down." The old lady said this with a smile, but she was very open.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You have so many daughters-in-law, what are you afraid of being dragged down by your granddaughter-in-law?" Father Ye said unhappily.
"I know it!"
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "What are you counting? You have the final say? Don't talk about it all day long, just live hard. I will give you a big birthday when you are 100 years old."
"Okay, okay~ You have the final say, then I will live to be 100 years old..."
"It doesn't hurt 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 grandmothers and grandchildren, and said sourly: "I know how to be filial to your grandma, and make her happy every day. I have never seen you so filial to my old lady, and you know how to be angry with me and talk back to me every day."
"Damn it, 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 kind of virtue you have? It's not bad if you can raise you so much and not be killed."
"Look...you think about killing me every day..."
Mother Ye picked up the whip on the table beside her, and was about to throw it at him twice, but he cleverly hid behind his father, pushed his father against his mother, and then quickly slipped away.
Behind him, he could only hear his old woman scolding, "Go away, you bastard, die while you die..."
"Hey hey hey...You **** (woman)...it's none of my business, you even scolded me together..."
"I will scold you, your good son."
"Didn't you give birth?"
Ye Yaodong listened to the angry scolding voices from his old mother behind him, as well as the slapping sound of his father, and his father's whooping sound, mixed together, the house seemed extremely lively.
The corners of his mouth raised, he put on the sun hat on the stool at the door, and walked briskly outside.
