"In the newspapers? Really?"

Director Li smiled and said, "It's true. What you handed in is great, and the superiors attach great importance to it. I also hope that if other fishermen find out, they will be like you and have the awareness to report the situation to their superiors."

.”

"You are role models for fishermen and must be commended. We will hold a commendation meeting for you later. Please calm down for a moment and drink some tea. The meeting will start at 2:30. People from various departments under our jurisdiction will participate in the meeting.

It’s not quite there yet.”

Everyone was shocked. They thought they just came to take photos, receive an award and leave immediately. They didn't expect that there would be a commendation meeting.

It was already beyond their expectation that they were even asked to take photos, which made them so happy. Now there is actually a commendation meeting and interviews with reporters. Their faces are really bright.

Director Chen looked at everyone who was so happy that he didn't know what to say, and some of them were incoherent.

He smiled and patted the surprised Ye Yaodong on the shoulder, "You have indeed made a great contribution this time. Unmanned submarines are very important to the superiors. Everyone pays special attention to them. You have contributed to our country's national defense and security."

Yes, it is also appropriate to hold a commendation meeting."

"After it is published in the newspaper, more people will see it, and it will also stimulate the enthusiasm of fishermen. If they catch something strange and unfamiliar, they can report it in time."

Director Li also said: "Yes, although we also have a marine patrol team, they only patrol the safety of the sea areas. You still have to rely on your fishermen to catch these things."

"That thing is an extremely dangerous weapon and equipment for our navy. Although this weapon and equipment cannot directly cause harm to our navy, this weapon can convey the specific situation of our navy to the "enemy country." This

It's more terrible than direct injury."

Seeing the seriousness of what he said, everyone put away the excited expressions on their faces and nodded in understanding.

Ye Yaodong also echoed: "Everyone has the responsibility to protect our country. Being able to contribute to our country is what we should do. We fishermen can't do anything else, so we can only report the strange things we salvage."

Condition."

"Haha, Deputy Director Chen has always said in front of me that you love the party, are dedicated to the party, have an exceptionally high level of consciousness, and are a role model for fishermen. That's true. You are a good young man. I didn't expect that you are already the boss of the boat at such a young age."

"My father taught me well. Without him to help me, what would I know, haha."

"Huh? No wonder there's something wrong with the front. Why don't you see your dad? Hasn't your dad been following you all the time?" Director Chen glanced at them and said.

"My eldest brother and my second brother also jointly bought a big boat like mine. My father happened to go to their boat this time to help them sail the boat. Whenever we three brothers needed help, he would go there to help."

"You three brothers are so promising. Your father is also capable of raising three such powerful sons. You will be blessed in the future."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Haha, my dad said the same thing. Yesterday, the villagers encouraged my dad to come and receive the award together. My dad said that a person must seek truth from facts and not cheat."

"Although he also envied us and was depressed that he was not on the boat and missed this trip. But he said that my glory is also his glory, and his face was bright when I accepted the award. There is no need to do this kind of deception.

thing."

"He won't be able to straighten his back even if I do it. He won't be able to speak loudly in the future. He can't be shameless."

Of course, he should put more gold on his father's face. This is also a roundabout way of praising himself. His father is so decent, how can the son he raised be any worse?

It will be beneficial to both his father and him to have a good impression.

Sure enough, when he said this, everyone present praised him.

Even the boatmen admired Father Ye and praised him a few times.

"Your father is a good father with excellent moral character. No wonder he can raise good sons."

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly.

Everyone sat in the conference room and chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was harmonious. After people arrived one after another, and the time came, the commendation meeting began.

However, although it is a commendation meeting, they do not need to go up to speak. They only need to sit there and listen to the leader's introduction to them, and talk about their deeds and how the country attaches great importance to them, and also ask local departments to pay high attention to them.

Pay attention to……

He spoke eloquently for an hour, and then called them up to accept everyone's applause.

Director Chen also tied big red flowers for them personally, and everyone had one.

Director Li also awarded each of them a sealed certificate of merit, as well as additional red envelope rewards.

Everyone was laughing from ear to ear and squeezed the thick red envelopes in their hands. They were very excited. They felt thick to the touch, which showed that there was a lot of money inside.

However, no one was talking to each other at this time. Looking at so many officials below, some of them were nervous and their hands were shaking.

After these were handed out, Director Li said some words of encouragement and everyone applauded, and then the ceremony officially ended.

But everyone else stood up, and a few of them stayed where they were because reporters were still interviewing them.

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "There has never been such a highlight moment. Can you develop a few more photos and send them to us? Let us keep a souvenir, be proud of it, and show it to our family."

Director Li said nicely: "There must be this, and it will be sent to you. You can also take another solo photo and send it together later. Remember to leave your address."

"That's great. The leaders are so thoughtful. Thank you."

"It's necessary. You are also heroes who have made meritorious deeds. You should take a few photos."

Everyone was very happy. They all held out their certificates and red envelopes in one hand, and took turns to be photographed with bright smiles.

It’s rare to bow politely and say thank you after taking photos.

After everyone had taken photos, they sat down to be interviewed by reporters.

Of course, this is Ye Yaodong's personal show, because he is the boss of the ship, so of course he basically does all the talking, and the others don't speak Mandarin very well.

Ye Yaodong smiled and told them about the fishing process. During this period, everyone also chimed in and said a few words. Of course, they also exaggerated a little bit and described it with added detail.

For example, when I pull it up and pull the rope, it feels so heavy that I thought I had just received a bunch of big stuff...

Ye Yaodong also translated the dialect spoken by everyone for the reporter.

By the time all interviews were over, it was already 4:30 when we left the Ocean Bureau.

After everyone turned their heads and glanced at the door of the Ocean Bureau, they quickly walked a few steps to the corner. They couldn't wait to look through the red envelopes in their hands.

There were people inside who seemed too embarrassed to open the red envelope, but while the reporter was interviewing them, they sat in the corner and opened the red envelope covertly with their heads down, and took a few glances inside.

But with just a few glances, they were already so excited that they were all united! It was a thick package.

The joy had already overwhelmed them, but everyone could only hold back and communicate with their eyes first.

They couldn't wait as soon as they left the house. It wasn't that they wanted to escape from the Ocean Bureau, but that they were eager to open the red envelopes.

"It's all about great unity..."

"When I touched the thickness, I thought it was a letter of praise stuffed inside, but I didn't expect it was all money."

"I was dumbfounded when I took a peek inside just now!"

"Oh, that's too generous. How much is it? Is it the same for everyone?"

Everyone was so happy that they hid in the alley one by one and gathered around, took out their red envelopes, and couldn't wait to count the money without saying a word.

Ye Yaodong was the same, but he looked at the thickness of the banknotes in his hand as if they were a little thicker than others.

Everyone has finished counting, but he hasn't finished counting yet.

"500!"

"Me too 500!"

"so much……"

"It's so generous. Why are you so generous this time? Yesterday I thought it was only 50 yuan, and I thought it would be good to have a certificate."

Everyone was extremely pleasantly surprised and expressed their admiration.

"How much is Adong? Adong must have more than us, he is the boss of the ship!"

"Yes, yes, his money looks richer than ours."

"How many?"

Everyone looked at Ye Yaodong.

After Ye Yaodong counted the money, he also raised his head happily, then put it in his hand and said, "I have 1,000."

"So many, haha, you are the boss of the ship."

"Yes, you are the boss of the ship, so you must have more than us."

"According to our country's distribution according to work, A Dong is our boss, so it is normal for him to have more employees than us."

"Isn't that too generous? It's like I was dreaming, and everyone was rewarded 500?"

"I also feel like I'm in a dream. Isn't this too much?"

Ye Yaodong smiled with a smile on his face, "Don't they always say that? We have made great achievements. Can the reward be the same if we catch our own things and catch the enemy's things?"

"And this thing is still heavyweight, so it's not useless. They even held a commendation meeting for us. It's such an honor, and the reward must be worthy of it."

"Besides, it was published in the newspaper for us and set an example. It will definitely be rewarded heavily and other fishermen will also feel honored."

Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Everything you said is right..."

"Okay, hurry up and hide the money. Don't you still want to go shopping? While the department store is still closed, go to the pier and ask for a tractor to take you there. Maybe you can still go shopping for half an hour."

"Yes, yes, it's a rare trip..."
