Chapter 115 Make a Suggestion (Add an update to the Good Fortune Bell)
Suddenly they got 743 yuan and 80 cents, which Ye Yaodong and Aguang split on the spot. They happily put their respective sums of more than 300 yuan in their pockets and went home.
As for the remaining orders, it won’t be too late to wait a few days before settling them.
Ye's parents and Ye's mother didn't know that Ye Yaodong had gone to sea at first, because he used to disappear for most of the day, but he had only been working diligently every day for the past two months. They thought he would return to his old ways when he was free.
When it was time to eat at noon and no one was seen, Mother Ye asked casually, and then the whole family found out that he had actually gone to sea despite a typhoon.
Father Ye was so angry that he scolded him for being messy. He also mentioned that there was a typhoon forming at sea and how big the waves in the outer sea would be...
He was so worried that he couldn't even eat lunch. It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that he came back safely. Father Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but the rolling pin for making dumplings also hit his leg.
Ye Yaodong screamed unprepared, "Ah? Dad, why did you hit me?"
"Where did you die? Don't you know there will be a typhoon in two days?"
"You also said it will be in two days? Ah, Dad~ Tell me carefully, Dad~"
He was jumping up and down to hide, never expecting that when he returned home happily, the person who picked him up was actually a rolling pin.
"Ah...Dad~ I was wrong, I was wrong, don't fight..."
Ye Yaodong said as he retreated. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it and got beaten several times in vain, he simply ran out, preparing to wait for his father to calm down before coming back.
Father Ye stood at the door and cursed for a while before going back into the house.
Ye Yaodong hid at the corner of the intersection until he heard no more noise, then came out again, "Oh, it's not easy to make some money, and you have to get beaten."
He quietly walked to the window of his room and knocked several times, but there was no response, so he had to stand by the window and smoke two cigarettes and wait.
After waiting for a while, he heard some movement inside the house and knocked on the window again.
"Who?"
"It's me, open a window and let me in!"
The window was opened instantly, "Why don't you take the main entrance?"
"I'm afraid my dad will be angry when he sees me, so I'll get out of the way and I'll jump in."
"How's the storm on the sea? Is it really as dangerous as dad said?" Lin Xiuqing frowned. She had never been to the sea and didn't know how dangerous it would be. If it was as dangerous as her father-in-law said at noon, she would definitely not let him
go.
Ye Yaodong took off his rain boots as soon as he entered the house. He had worn them for almost a whole day, and he was covered in sweat from his feet. They stank!
After taking off his shoes, he took out the money and receipts from his pocket and put them on the table. Then he started to take off his clothes again and said: "It's okay. When we first went out in the morning, the wind and waves were not very strong. I can still bear it. After noon,
, the wind and waves got bigger, so we came back quickly when we saw something was not going well."
"Why so much money?"
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened when she saw him taking out a lot of money.
"Of course your man earned it. Count it to see if it's 372. It shouldn't be lost."
"So many?" She was stunned for a moment.
"If you risk your life to get it back, of course it will be worth it if you get rich rewards!"
"Don't go there next time. It's too risky. Who knows if there will be any eventualities?"
"I know, it won't happen next time. One time is enough. You go and fetch me a basin of water. I'll take a bath and soak my feet before I go out."
Lin Xiuqing obediently went out to get him some water. When she came in, she asked him again, "You got up so early in the morning. Why don't you catch up on some sleep after taking a shower?"
"I'll go to sleep when I get back. I have something urgent to do."
When he came back in the afternoon, he saw that there were many large and small boats on the shore, and he felt that he needed to remind them.
He didn't even bother to tell his wife about the big stuff he had hauled in today. After putting on clean clothes and shoes, he jumped out the window again.
Lin Xiuqing watched him coming and going in a hurry, and didn't know what he was going for. She didn't say anything, so she could only put the money and the order away first, and then ask him properly when he came back in the evening.
Ye Yaodong went to the commune as soon as he left home. All the village cadres were working in the commune.
Before they even entered the commune, the news about the typhoon was playing at the entrance of the commune, reminding the villagers in their village.
He couldn't help complaining in his heart, shouldn't he honk his horn at the pier? Every day fishermen come in and out of the pier. Isn't it easier for everyone to know about any major events or precautions? What's the use of being in a commune? Many people may not be able to
If you hear it, you can only pass it on by word of mouth.
As soon as he entered the commune, he went directly to Secretary Chen. After all, he had saved his grandson, so he had some kind of friendship.
Secretary Chen was also very surprised when he saw him coming. He smiled politely and said, "Sit down quickly. What do you want from me?"
"Don't the secretary think it's useless to blow the horn at the entrance of the commune? Who comes to the commune every day and doesn't eat from a big pot? In those years of collective economy, shouldn't this typhoon warning message be broadcast on the pier?"
Secretary Chen thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, "You are right, let's see if it rains tomorrow. If it doesn't rain, I will have people stay on the edge of the pier."
Ye Yaodong was very satisfied that Secretary Chen could still listen to the suggestions. He also talked about the fact that there were still ships on the pier that had not sailed to the safe haven, and suggested that he install the speakers outside the pier to play them tomorrow, and by the way, play them in the village first.
.
As long as he plays the loudspeaker around the village, most of the villagers will be able to hear the warnings and suggestions, and his goal will be achieved. As for whether everyone will listen or not? That is not something he can interfere with, and he can reduce losses no matter what.
In his previous life, several people in the village died due to this typhoon. He had to eat fast and pray for blessings for a month, which left a deep impression on him.
As a native of this village, I have lived here all my life, so I should do whatever I can!
Perhaps because of that favor, Secretary Chen also listened to his suggestions, and felt that his suggestions were quite good, so he agreed to them all.
If it weren't for that favor, Ye Yaodong would still be as careless as before, and Secretary Chen might think that he was here to make trouble for him.
Secretary Chen said cheerfully: "Is that why you came here to tell me this?"
"Otherwise? I just came back from the dock today and saw that there are still many ships that have not sailed to the safe haven, so I thought of coming over to remind them. I happened to see the speaker at the door playing. I just wanted to make a suggestion."
"I thought you had something to ask me for help."
"Hahaha, not yet. Maybe there will be someone who needs Secretary Chen's help in the future. I hope Secretary Chen can enthusiastically help."
"Haha, that's right. I see you've done a lot of dirty work and you haven't worked less for just two months! Young people should work hard."
"You're right, aren't I the prodigal son who has turned back? Haha, then you go about your business first and I won't disturb you anymore."
"Okay, let's go sit at home when you have time."
"Why!"
When he walked out of the commune, Ye Yaodong sighed. He was a little tired talking to officials, so he had to be serious and polite. During this time, he was used to talking to his friends.
He shook his head and asked Aguang Tu for a few words.
