Ye Qingling took the certificate and money into the house and put them in a drawer.
When she came out again, she realized she had forgotten to ask about being in the newspapers and on TV, and quickly asked, "By the way, weren't you supposed to be in the newspapers and on TV? When can we see it?"
"I asked the reporter, and they said it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow morning, and will be broadcast on television in tomorrow night's news."
"Oh, so fast? I'd better take a good look at what you look like on TV."
Ye Qingling was filled with anticipation and couldn't wait to see Feng Ye's charm on television.
"What's so interesting about it? Don't you watch it every day?"
Feng Ye chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Going on TV won't make you any more handsome."
Ye Qingling rolled her eyes at him: "Who cares if you look good or not? I want to see if you embarrass yourself on TV, hehe..."
"You think too highly of your husband. How could he possibly embarrass himself?"
Feng Ye patted his chest, full of confidence.
"Okay, okay, I know you're amazing, alright?"
Ye Qingling covered her mouth and chuckled, then suddenly remembered something, walked to the door and looked towards the dock, "Where's my brother? Is he still at the dock?"
"Yeah, he's showing off with Ah-chan and the others at the pier. He probably won't be back for a while."
"Oh, then let's cook first, the sun has already set."
"good."
Feng Ye nodded and went to the kitchen to help.
That same day, news of their award ceremony spread throughout the village.
The villagers discussed it amongst themselves, filled with envy.
The news spread like wildfire the next day, reaching almost the entire island.
Everyone was talking about it and looking forward to the newspapers being delivered and the evening news broadcast.
Feng Ye and his group of eight became the center of attention, receiving thumbs-ups and warm greetings wherever they went.
The children surrounded them, their eyes filled with admiration.
In the afternoon, the newspapers were delivered to the island by ferry, and the villagers eagerly scrambled to read them, discussing them enthusiastically.
Private individuals don't usually subscribe to newspapers and are reluctant to spend the money, so the village committee is the one that subscribes.
Feng Ye only rushed to the village committee after someone else came to inform him.
Because so many people wanted to see it, the village officials were afraid it would be torn up in the ensuing scramble, so they simply pasted the newspaper on the bulletin board.
When he arrived, the bulletin board was already packed with people.
Everyone pointed and whispered, discussing animatedly, creating a lively atmosphere.
There were too many people, and it was impossible to squeeze in. Feng Ye could only stand on the outside, standing on tiptoe and trying to see.
Luckily, he's tall, so he can barely see.
A large photograph was prominently displayed in the newspaper, one of which was a group photo of them receiving the award with Secretary-General Zhao and Director Ma.
Another image is a sonar photograph.
The two photos are surrounded by densely packed text reports detailing their process of retrieving the sonar and the rewards they received.
As for the specific content and how the newspaper's reporters described it, he couldn't see clearly.
But that doesn't matter. As long as he knows that his handsome face has appeared in the newspaper, that's enough for him.
"That's amazing! I heard yesterday that it was in the newspaper today, and it really was."
"Tsk tsk, it's a provincial newspaper, everyone in the province can see it. I originally thought it was just a city newspaper."
"It's not just in the newspapers, wasn't it said that it would be on TV tonight?"
"Yes, I heard from them that it's being broadcast on the provincial TV station, so even more people will see it."
"Look, our village's name was mentioned in the newspaper."
"It's true! That's great! Now even our village is famous."
"Yeah, we've made a big splash, and we can benefit from it too. We'll have something to brag about when we go out in the future..."
Looking at the photos and listening to the discussions around him, Feng Ye felt a surge of pride, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
"Ah Ye, you're in the newspaper."
At this moment, someone noticed Feng Ye behind him, turned around, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to the photo in the newspaper.
When others heard this, they turned around to greet him, saying things like he was in the newspaper.
“I saw it.”
Feng Ye smiled and nodded in response.
"I must say, the photos are really good, he looks quite handsome."
“Ah Ye was originally a handsome young man, but he didn’t dress up properly because he was going to sea. Now that he’s dressed up, he’s no less handsome than those TV stars.”
"Yes, yes, I think so too. If Ah Ye went to make movies and TV shows, he might become famous."
"Ah Ye, you guys are amazing, you've brought honor to our village."
The villagers chimed in with their praises, one after another.
Feng Ye felt embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You flatter me, you flatter me. It's just so-so, haha... You're all too kind to me."
Suddenly someone shouted, "Ah Ye, do you need any more people on your ship? I want to work for you; maybe I'll even get a chance to be in the newspapers and on TV someday."
As soon as he said this, a chorus of agreement immediately arose from the surrounding crowd.
"Yeah, Ah Ye, are you hiring on your ship? I'd like to come too."
"Yeah, count me in. If I ever manage to make something big, I can be in the newspapers and on TV and bring glory to my ancestors."
“Me, me, me, Ah Ye, you can’t forget your brother.”
Amidst the noise, Feng Ye heard a familiar voice. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw that Xiao Guowen had also come to join the fun.
He immediately retorted irritably, "Brother Wen, why are you meddling in this? If you want to go to sea, why do you need to come here? Isn't the Harvest ship good enough?"
Xiao Guowen chuckled: "That's good, but I don't have your luck. I'd like to get some of your good fortune too, maybe I'll run into some big news someday."
