Chapter I
On the geographical map of China, Changlong is just an inconspicuous landing point, but in the long river of history, Changlong is a small village with a long history of more than 1,100 years. This small village has always been famous! At first, the ancestors ran the village prosperously and became famous, and then the villagers have been sticking to this paradise like a peach blossom paradise, and the life is famous, and then later the villagers gave the paradise pure land beauty, created sightseeing tours, attracted countless outsiders, and became famous again. The terrain of the village is very peculiar, like a giant dragon stretching for dozens of kilometers, so it is called "Changlong Village".
Changlong Village is scattered with seven small villages, which were upgraded from natural villages to administrative villages after liberation. Since ancient times, seven hamlets have been connected by a winding stone path. The stone road has a long history, printing and dyeing the footprints of generations of people, and later generations call it the ancient post road. The willows on both wings of the stone road are dense like a cover, and you can only hear its sound and not see its people when you walk on the stone road. No, there is a chatter of a gentleman and a mother-in-law on the stone road!
"Village chief, village chief, you wait for me, I have something to tell you!"
"You don't want the old village chief and village chief, aren't you going to rush to the election, maybe you can't be elected, the village chief is not ours!"
"It's okay, the mother-in-law of Changlong Village is optimistic about you, that Tiantoubao is your opponent!"
"He is a person that Secretary Huang admires in the town. ”
"You are a person that our mother-in-law in Changlong Village admires, and her mother-in-law admires it, do you dare not appreciate it? So it's okay, the whole village supports you. However, village chief, there are conditions for the mothers-in-law to support you. ”
"What are the conditions? ”
"I heard that the old men of Changlong Village are ready to run out, you have to call the shots for the mothers-in-law to stop them from running to the flower world. ”
、、、、、、
The man's name is Yi Approachable, and he is the secretary of the party branch and the village head of Changlong Village. The mother-in-law's name is Luo Xifeng, and she is a character in the mother-in-law of Changlong Village, and enjoys the nickname of "Superwoman".
Approachable people walked in front, and Luo Xifeng followed behind. The two of them chattered while hurrying.
Early in the morning, the loudspeaker of the Changlong Village Committee sounded, and for a while local folk songs were played, and for a while, Qin Cong, the village women's director, repeatedly read out the election charter of the villagers' committee in Mandarin with a strong local accent. When the approachable people arrived at the village committee, there were a number of people scattered inside and outside the village, the most eye-catching of these people was Tian Toubao, he was the only village chief candidate of the approachable people, you see, before the village chief, began to put up slogans, hanging banners of the villagers pointed fingers, shouted, saw the approachable people coming, and went up with their backs to meet them, kicking their noses and eyes to play majestic.
Tian Toubao said: "Old village chief, you have come to check the preparations for the election, I have already checked it, everything is ready, just wait for the gong to start." ”
The approachable person pretended not to hear and ignored him, but deliberately asked the two villagers who were busy with the election preparations: "Are the ballots and ballot boxes ready?"
One of the villagers said: "Report to Village Chief Yi, it has been prepared. ”
The approachable person said: "It's not the village head, it's the old village head, and when the new village head takes office, I will be the old village head, and the old means stepping down." ”
Another villager deliberately raised his voice and said: "Village Chief Yi is in his prime, how can he be said to be an old village chief? In our Changlong Village, the person who can oust Village Chief Yi from power has not yet been reincarnated!"
These words hurt Tian Toubao. He shouted: "What are you talking about, what are you talking about, early in the morning, destroy your own prestige and grow the morale of others." I don't have that ability, others don't have that ability, what's the reason? ”
Tian Toubao was so angry that his teeth clicked.
The villagers were not convinced, saying, "If you have the ability, you can try it." If you Tian Toubao can become the village head, I will kowtow to your eight ancestors. ”
Tian Toubao said: "This is what you said, you remember, don't talk when the time comes." ”
The villager said, "I remember, you are going to be elected, I will not only kowtow to you, but I will also be your grandson." ”
Tian Toubao couldn't stand such humiliation, picked up a bamboo chair and threw it at the villager, but fortunately, the villager was nimble and dodged in a flash.
Luo Xifeng really couldn't stand it, and thought, why don't you tease Tian Toubao and give him a dismount. She fiddled with her waist, walked forward with her ass dangling, and said coldly: "Yo, Village Chief Tian, look at you, when you become the village chief, it's different, you can use violence against the villagers as you like." ”
"That kid owes a beating. Tian Toubao took a sip and pointed his finger at the villager, "You remember for me, you'd better not come to beg me in this life." ”
The villager had a nonchalant expression, but he was a little stunned in his heart, after all, he was a candidate for village head, and if he was really allowed to become a candidate, his life in Changlong Village would be really bad.
Luo Xifeng is not this kind of person, she saw that Tian Toubao's momentum was becoming more and more arrogant, and the more angry she was in her heart, the more she wanted to ridicule him. "Yo, Tian Village Chief, the village chief is the public servant of the villagers, do you know what a public servant is? A public servant is everyone's servant, and he is dedicated to serving the villagers.
Tian Toubao seemed to hear something, squinted his eyes and glared at Luo Xifeng, crooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Your mouth is quite sweet, Tian Cun Chief Tian Village Chief Tian Village Chief called me comfortable, if you really called the village chief to me, you are my ancestor, I will support you every day." ”
Luo Xifeng took a heavy sip: "Ahh If I don't hurry up and call you a few village chiefs, I won't dare to call you when the election results are announced. ”
Tian Toubao said, "What do you mean?"
Luo Xifeng said: "What do you mean, don't you understand? You are off the list, everyone doesn't think you are the village head, can I still scream?"
Tian Toubao grinned, eager to swallow Luo Xifeng alive.
Yi Approacher was fiddling with the rostrum with the two villagers, and when he heard that Luo Xifeng was still arguing with Tian Toubao, he beckoned: "Xifeng, what are you chewing, save it." Come on, come on, take a hand, and decorate the rostrum. ”
He threw the end of a piece of red satin cloth to Luo Xifeng, and Luo Xifeng continued, and the two of them shook off the cloth and covered it on a wooden table.
The approachable man slapped the table and said, "This is like the red regime!"
Tian Toubao snorted: "If you two are defiled, it will become a white terror!"
How could Luo Xifeng stand such an insult, picked up the broom on the ground and hit Tian Toubao, and Tian Toubao ran away.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the villagers who participated in the election arrived one after another, and the three groups of five filled the sun-drying station in front of the village committee. A large group of leaders came to the Party Committee of Changlong Town, led by Secretary Huang himself, to supervise the election of the village committee. Tian Toubao did not leave the left and right of Secretary Huang, handed over cigarettes and lit fires, and made tea and poured water for a while, like a slave waiting for the landlord and old wealth in the old society. At half past nine, the two candidates for village head made campaign speeches respectively, and the first to speak on stage was Tian Toubao, who hugged his fists to the villagers, and bowed three times to Secretary Huang and other leaders. Some people scolded him for being inflammatory, some people scolded him for seeing that the official was a dog who couldn't make decisions for the people, and some people openly shouted that he would get out of power, saying that Changlong Village didn't need to be a soft egg with only officials and no people in his eyes. No matter how the villagers scolded him, he didn't fight back, blindly nodding his head and smiling. At the beginning of the speech, without saying a few words, he swore and expressed his determination, one is to transform a newly built sand and gravel road leading to the outside of the village into a two-way cement road, and the other is to open the door of Changlong Village, so that the young and middle-aged men in the village can go out and go to the outside world to make money, so that their mother-in-law can live a good life. In an instant, the field was in chaos as if it had been bombed.
Luo Xifeng rushed to the rostrum with several mothers-in-law, and pointed at Tian Toubao is scolding:
"The surname is Tian, when you are the village head, you just want to break up the in-laws in Changlong Village and live a life of separation between the two places? ”
"No wonder your kid threatened to let the descendants of Changlong Village be surnamed Tian, you are too ambitious, too dirty, and you are not qualified to be the village head. ”
、、、、、、
Tian Toubao twisted his face, his whole face was full of anger, insult, and helplessness, in other words, he would have fought a big fight, but today he endured it, because he knew very well in his heart that any mistake in every detail could make him defeated. He put on a modest expression and explained his policy propositions one after another, and his tone was very calm. But Luo Xifeng didn't eat his set, and continued to sneer at him.
"Don't make any speeches, your set is a routine, no one believes it. You don't want to run for the village chief, no one will listen to you, even if you are the village chief, you will be a bare-bones commander. ”
Secretary Huang stood up with a sigh, pointed at Luo Xifeng, and said in a non-inferior tone: "You are Luo Xifeng, right? I have heard of you a long time ago, and when I saw you today, you are indeed no less than Wang Xifeng." ”
Luo Xifeng said: "Secretary Huang, do you praise me or criticize me?"
Secretary Huang asked rhetorically: "What do you say?"
Luo Xifeng said: "If you criticize me, then I also have to criticize you, it is the right of the villagers to elect the village head, how to choose and who to choose is the villagers' own business, you are a big secretary, it should be none of your business, right?
Secretary Huang's face suddenly darkened, and such embarrassment was the first time he had encountered it since he entered politics. He looked away at the approachable person sitting on the side of the rostrum, and his cold gaze was more piercing than a sharp sword.
Yi Approachable understood that Secretary Huang blamed him for not getting up to stop it, and on the other hand, asked him to come forward to relieve the siege. Although he has some views on Secretary Huang's election site, his views are opinions, and seeing that the scene is becoming chaotic, as the previous village head, he should have the responsibility to defend it.
Yi Jinren got up and said with a gloomy face: "Luo Xifeng, have you made enough trouble? I didn't make enough trouble, after the election is over, no one cares about you if you like to make trouble. ”
Yi Jin's tone was very hard, and he glanced at Luo Xifeng as he spoke.
Luo Xifeng knew that the approachable person was made for Secretary Huang, and of course she was also seeking her cooperation, she had no reason not to cooperate, and she cooperated quite well.
She continued: "Village Chief Yi, do you know why I'm making trouble? Just because of you, people are talking nonsense to drive you out of power. Can you step down? Ask everyone, no one approves, you are such a good person, you are an official for the sake of the people, you have been the village chief for the past few years, the life of our common people has become more and more prosperous year by year, the whole village, old and young, not a single man or woman said that you are not good, if you want to be the village head, it is simply intolerable. ”
She hugged her fist at Secretary Huang as Tian Toubao did, and said as she stepped back: "Secretary Huang, how offended, please Haihan!"
Tian Toubao continued to speak, but he didn't say a few words, he was stage frightened, forgot the words, was stunned for a moment, and simply bowed three times to everyone and left the table in a panic. There was a commotion on the field, and from time to time there was a shrill whistle.
Next is the approachable speech, the approachable person is different, to the speaker's seat, before he speaks, there was a burst of applause more fierce than the sound of the tide, followed by "the approachable person will win", "the approachable person will win" one after another. As soon as the wonderful speech of less than two minutes ended, the applause and cheers on the field were even more like stormy waves that lasted for a long time.
After the speech, the next process of voting is carried out. The election result was a victory for Yi Ren and he was re-elected as the village chief. Tian Toubao joined the village committee as an alternate member.
