Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 386 Faith
The old man was pleasantly surprised for a moment. He was just asking about it as a matter of routine. He didn't expect him to have this awareness, or he didn't expect to have another bronze vessel, but he didn't expect there to be.

He said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, go get it quickly, we will wait here."

Ye Yaodong hurried back, and handed the bronze wine glass in his palm to the old man.

"This was dragged up by fishing nets together with the bronze cauldron. I don't know if there are any on the bottom of the sea. This thing looks useless, and I can't really use it as a wine glass. It just happens to be a toy for the children at home."

The old man took the bronze wine glass directly, and took out the magnifying glass in his pocket to look at it, and other people around him also moved their heads curiously.

"Is it really a bronze wine glass?"

"What era?"

"Can dad tell which era it is from?"

Ye Yaodong looked sideways, the county committee called the director of the cultural center father, no wonder the county committee also came today with two or three people to support the scene, probably because they were afraid that they would fail to deal with foolish people like them and return in vain.

The old man shook his head, "It's hard to say, I have to take it back for an appraisal to find out."

He looked at Ye Yaodong again, "Comrade Ye Yaodong, do you know this is a cultural relic?"

Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders, "I only know that this is unowned, the goods in the sea, whoever fishes it will be his?"

"Uh... In principle, you are right to say that, but this is a cultural relic, and cultural relics belong to the country, not to individuals."

"What do you mean? You want to snatch it for nothing? It's okay to show you a few glances. If you want to take it away, that's not okay. I got it..."

If it was given too easily, and he directly forgot to commend him, what about his reward?Donate to donate, the rewards must not be less, there are still in the bottom of the sea, I have to give him an accurate word, anyway, he is an uneducated fisherman.

The old man exchanged glances with the others, and then smiled and said, "Don't worry, your donation is also a contribution to our country, and the county will express it anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"Everyone has to go back and discuss it, as well as the big bronze tripod in the temple..."

"Ah...don't ask me that, I have already donated it to the Mazu Temple, I can't decide, you have to ask the villagers in our village whether they agree or not."

At this time, Ye Yaodong suddenly had an idea in his mind. He felt that it was right for him to donate the bronze tripod to the Mazu Temple. If it is not complete, the incense of the Mazu Temple in the village will be more prosperous.

"Uh...that was also donated by you, and the villagers should also listen to what you want."

"Ah, no, no, I can't influence the villagers in our village. They even told me at the pier just now that the tripod should not be taken away. It belongs to Mazu. You should understand the beliefs of the seaside people." After having an idea in his mind, Ye Yaodong became more calm.

The villagers who were watching the excitement at the door also shouted after hearing the conversation in the house.

"That's right, that tripod belongs to our Mazu Temple, so it cannot be taken away."

"Yeah, yeah...you can't take it away..."

"That's right...can't take..."

Listening to the sound outside, the old man frowned, feeling a little tricky.

The others also frowned, and felt that it was not easy to do. People on the beach believed in Mazu, and they all knew that worshiping Mazu was more active than going to a banquet. They turned their attention to the village committee members.

The village committee members were also laughing there, not speaking.

They are also villagers in the village, so of course they have to safeguard the collective interests.

Seeing them frowning and making eye contact, Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "Why don't you go back first? It's getting late today, and the mountain road is not easy to walk in the dark, or wait until tomorrow?"

"Okay, then we'll come back tomorrow, I'll delay you for a few days, stay at home and don't go to sea..."

Mother Ye interjected with some disapproval: "This is impossible! The weather is good these days, and I haven't gone to sea for a day, but it's a loss for a day. We fishermen rely on the sky and the sea to eat, and our family has so many mouths. Zi goes to sea alone to earn money. It’s okay if you let him wait at home for a day or two, but not for a few days. If it takes ten days and a half a month, the whole family will have to drink northwest wind. He can’t do nothing. , sitting at home all day waiting for you."

"We are business..."

"He's also going to sea. Don't tell me the whole family doesn't want to eat and drink, just cooperate with your work. If you can't achieve your goal, come for ten days, eight days, or a month. Is he waiting for you at home for a month? ? That's not okay."

Mother Ye, a country woman, has a posture of not knowing the sky and the earth. Anyway, she thinks that she has not broken the law, so how can she only care about others and ignore her own family.

The county official said helplessly: "Don't worry, he donated cultural relics to cooperate with the work, and the tripod was also obtained from his website. When the donation is made, the county will receive corresponding commendations and rewards. We will also give some subsidies depending on the situation."

"What is the reward? What is the subsidy?"

"This has to be discussed, but you have to cooperate with us in our work."

Ye Yaodong held his mother who wanted to talk again, the assist had already been completed, and the nonsense was over.

"I know, I can work together in the short term."

He fished this one out, so he must cooperate, and he also has other ideas in his mind.

The old man was very satisfied with his attitude, "Thank you Comrade Ye Yaodong for your cooperation and understanding. You may need to take our people to the sea area where the bronzes were fished in these two days."

"no problem."

The others were also very satisfied with his cooperation. Although his old lady was a little hard to talk to, Comrade Ye Yaodong's attitude was still acceptable.

"Then this bronze wine glass, we want to take it back and ask a professional to appraise it..."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Yes."

It's all about donations anyway.

Now everyone is more satisfied, they are no longer stuck, and they are enlightened.

Those leaders from the county finally did not return empty-handed today, and after smiling and saying a few polite words, they left surrounded by everyone.

As soon as the people left, the villagers exploded in an instant.

"I just said that they definitely wanted to take the tripod away. See, that's exactly what they wanted."

"We can't let them move away... This is from our village..."

"It's just... they can't be allowed to succeed. How can Mazu's things be taken away casually?"

"Why is Ah Dong still cooperating with them? They all want to remove the tripod you donated to the Mazu Temple."

"That's right, they should not be allowed to enter the village."

Seeing that the villagers felt a little dissatisfied, Ye Yaodong quickly explained: "We grow up under the flag of the Five-Star Red, and we must not cooperate with the government if necessary. What's more, if they want to remove the tripod, they need the consent of the villagers, and the villagers do not agree. , who can move it?"

"That's right. If we are serious about work, we have to cooperate."

"But they want to move away."

"Then if we don't agree, who dares to move? The government can't be unreasonable."

"The cauldron is so amazing, even the officials are attracted here, and the wine glass you just had, why did they just take it away?"

"It's useless to keep it if I don't take it away. It's just one. Since they want to study it, let them study it. Anyway, it didn't say that I would be rewarded or something. The country will not treat me badly."

"That too……"

"Okay, folks, let's disperse, each go back to each house, each finds each mother, as for tomorrow's matter, we will talk about it tomorrow." After explaining, Ye Yaodong also chased away people, exhausted, tired and hungry.

"Why are you looking for a mother? It's weird, don't we all call mothers, it's true that we have to go home for dinner..."

"I ran around, but I didn't see any results..."

"People are coming tomorrow, let's take a look again, we have to help take a look..."

"Yes, let's watch tomorrow. If someone enters the village, let everyone know immediately..."

After driving everyone away, Ye Yaodong also slumped on the armchair by the door.

Mother Ye stepped forward and asked, "Dongzi, what do they mean by giving commendations and rewards? Are there any other subsidies? Shouldn't they just give you a pen, a hot water bottle, and an enamel tank?"

"I don't know. I haven't received honors before. I'll know when the time comes. How can we be short of that? Reputation and honor are important."

"It's good to get more rewards. It's something for nothing. Of course, the more the better. This is what I said, it's the same as how much money I have... Maybe I have to stay at home for a few days, then How much loss? You have to talk to them when the time comes, give a little more..."

Country women can't get rid of the habit of being greedy for petty gain, and so is his mother. Ye Yaodong reluctantly agreed: "Yes, yes, let's see what happens in the county. You should go to the pier to see if daddy has sold out the goods. He is outside alone, and I don't want to move right now."

"I gonna go see."

After taking his old mother away, he became quiet and could lean on for a while with peace of mind.

After Lin Xiuqing waited for the leaders to leave, she hurriedly took the clothes to dry at the door into the house, and then simply cooked a meal to heat up the lunch dishes before coming out to call him for dinner.

A bunch of people stayed at their house before, she couldn't do anything, she didn't dare to do anything, now it's getting late, so she can only make do with it.

"I'll take a break, you and the children eat first!"

Lin Xiuqing stepped forward and squeezed his shoulders considerately, "Are you tired? It's just a two-day rest to cooperate with their work, so take it easy."

"Well~comfortable~I think so too, what's more, I fished up the bronze vessel, so I have to cooperate with the work, let them salvage what should be salvaged, and move what should be removed."

"Is that tripod really taken away by them?"

"Let's see. It needs to be discussed. It depends on whether the villagers agree. Anyway, for us, it is better to release the Mazu Temple. If the government takes away forced donations, it has nothing to do with us. But it is unlikely to be taken away by force. No matter what, the wishes of the villagers must be respected.”

She frowned, "If I knew it earlier, I would deposit it in the Mazu Temple first, and don't donate it. As soon as these people come over, just take them away. It will save you so much trouble, and you will come to the door one after another."

"If you don't donate to Mazu, you will leave it in the temple. It will be gone within a few days. There are many people who don't know anything, and want money and don't want to die. This can be worth tens of dollars if you donate it to Mazu. It’s different, this is faith, and you have to weigh it when you start with Mazu’s things.”

"That's true."

"Okay, it's none of your business anyway, don't worry about it, just watch the situation develop."

"Hey... It's not because people come to our house, so don't worry about it, and I don't know how many days it will delay you."

"Well, it won't take long, let's go in and have dinner, where are the two kids?"

"It's next door, I'll call them."
