Chapter 15: Election Turmoil (3)
On the Yanxiang Village Brigade, the new village committee is about to be born. Everyone has no opinion on the appointment of the village head, after all, Yan Yuxiu has the highest number of votes, and the most important thing is that he is still surnamed Yan. However, there has been a lot of disagreement on the position of president of the breeding association.
When the invited primary school teacher finished singing, the results were already clear at a glance, Yan Yuxiu proudly arched his hand and said: "In the future, please take care of your fathers and fellow villagers, and bear with me, most of the people here are my elders, if there is anything I Yan Yuxiu can't do, please put it forward, we are all for the foundation left by our ancestors, Yanxiang Village must get better and better." I just heard him say with a spring on his face.
Of course, society is like this, there are successes and losers, and there are winners and losers. When Yan Yuxiang was speaking as the new village chief, he glanced at Guo Qisheng who was sitting in the corner, and he couldn't see the joy and sorrow from the side face. But I believe that there should be no one in my heart who is more uncomfortable than him at this moment.
In fact, such a result is predictable by most people, and it is also a result that satisfies the vast majority of people in the village, except for those villagers who took Guo Qisheng's things. Judging from the final results of the vote, Guo Qisheng's blood this time is really not low!
I saw that after Yan Yuxiu finished speaking these few bright words to everyone, he arched his hand towards Guo Qisheng and said: "Qisheng! I'm sorry! Catch Ming'er to drink at my house!" These two people are of the same age, and they are all names for each other.
Everyone looked at Guo Qisheng's face, thinking that even if he didn't get angry, he would definitely not give Yan Yuxiu a good look. I only heard Guo Qisheng say: "Hey! Everyone is contributing to Yanxiang Village! There is nothing to live with, you can rest assured, I will be there tomorrow night." As he spoke, he stood up and arched his hand.
Everyone clapped their hands and applauded, and they all gave Guo Qisheng a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Okay! You are a good man in Yanxiang Village!"
Yan Yuxiang, who was sitting in the back row, was also happy for Guo Qisheng in his heart, so he rushed to him for this knowledge, and he would still say what he should say in a while. Yan Yuxiang thought so.
Yan Yuxiu said: "Okay, well, everyone will come to my house to drink, this is not extravagance and waste, we are going to work together to change the old appearance of Yanxiang Village into a new look!"
Everyone coaxed: "Okay!" I saw Yan Yuxiu stretch out his hands, palms down, and press down, everyone's voices lowered, and he continued: "Then our big matter has been decided, I think that's it, right? ”
At this time, I heard someone shouting from behind, "Slow down!" I saw a person in the back row standing up, and this person was none other than him. It turned out to be the village chief of the previous session, called Yan Jiancheng. He's the old chief of the village. I saw that he had a cane, he looked more than seventy years old, with white hair, and in recent years, probably because of his body, he has not walked around the village much, and many young people only have an impression of him, but they can't name him.
I saw Yan Yuxiu also shouted: "Everyone, slow down, Uncle Jiancheng has something to say." Let's ask the old village chief of Yanxiang Village to give us a few words. ”
I only heard Yan Jiancheng say: "Except for Yuxiang who is a junior sitting behind us, the rest are all half-cut old immortals, what is there to talk about, but this election doesn't seem to be right." Isn't there still a vacancy that hasn't been elected?"
Yan Yuxiang looked at Yan Jiancheng, and then at Guo Qisheng who was standing in front, and his mind was completely understood. I only heard Yan Yuxiu say in a low voice: "Uncle Jiancheng, isn't it all selected, and the results are all on the blackboard!"
"Nonsense, I'm not deaf or dazzled, did you just become the village chief?" Yan Jiancheng said unhurriedly.
Yan Yuxiu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Uncle Jiancheng, if you have anything to say, I'll listen!"
Yan Jiancheng glanced at him and said: "The party and the country have had good policies in recent years, plus our village has produced a capable person like Yuxiang, who has led everyone to make money, and now pig raising has become the pillar industry of our village, I will ask, why don't you choose the leader of the breeding association today?"
After hearing this, Yan Yuxiang hurriedly stood up and helped Yan Jiancheng and said: "Second uncle, look at what you said, how can I have this ability, this is the virtue that the ancestors of the Yan family have accumulated for us!" Although Yan Jiancheng and Yan Yuxiang are not the same person, they have been related to Yan Xiang Village for a long time, according to the backup, Yan Yuxiang should indeed call Yan Jiancheng the second uncle.
Yan Jiancheng continued: "I have been guarding our village for seventy-two years, who has contributed to the village and who is the moth in the village, I see it clearly, so you are welcome." ”
Yan Yuxiang didn't speak, but bent down and continued to support Yan Jiancheng.
I only heard Yan Jiancheng say: "Since everyone is here today, I will take this opportunity to set the president of the breeding association." It's settled, and it's a lot of things. As for whether to drink or not, my old man doesn't know if there will be tomorrow after today, I'm afraid it will be blessed!" he said in one breath before he sat down again.
Not to mention Yan Yuxiu, even the crowd watching the excitement around him also knows what he means, according to the convention, the village chief is also the president of the breeding association, which is a tradition left over from the previous session, this time Yan Jiancheng has to take out this election separately, obviously unconvinced Yan Yuxiu is also the president of the breeding association.
Everyone suddenly fell silent, and some people said in their hearts: "Isn't this obvious! The pillar industry of our village can still be taken away by people with foreign surnames, what is the difference between that and taking the village head!" Some people said: "Yan Yuxiu became the village head in order to protect the status of the surname Yan in Yanxiang Village, as for the president of the breeding association, although it is important, Yan Yuxiu has never raised pigs after all, and Guo Qisheng has opened a pig farm of a large scale in the village, it should be more appropriate for Guo Qisheng to be the president of this breeding association." ”
At the moment when the atmosphere froze, Yan Yuxiang inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yan Yuxiu staring at him, he understood what Yan Yuxiu meant, if you want to say who is the president of the breeding association, Yan Yuxiang still has the right to speak, but unfortunately his younger brother guessed the beginning and did not guess the end. He deliberately turned his head, but saw that Guo Qisheng was also looking at him with expectant eyes, Yan Yuxiang felt sorry for Guo Qisheng in his heart: if he had followed his own advice at that time, gave up the election for the position of village head and ran for the president of the breeding association wholeheartedly, this matter would not have been so complicated now.
I only heard the previous village chief say: "Uncle Jiancheng, this ...... This one...... The president of the breeding association in our village should, according to the usual practice, ...... It should be the village head. Now the village chief is Yuxiu, and the president must also be Yuxiu. ”
"Hmph! I haven't said you yet! Whoever stipulates that the village chief must be the president? You are the first to cause these stinky problems, and you are embarrassed to say it! You tell me that the township head? Or the county magistrate? You call me and ask me. Yan Jiancheng thought that his position in this village was unique, and after hearing the words of the former village chief, he pointed to his nose and said. In fact, Yan Jiancheng didn't know in his heart that it was an unwritten rule that the village chief should also serve as the president, but he had already obtained the benefits of Guo Qisheng, so he had to insist on it. Do you want to pretend to be like it? If you really can't do it, you can explain to Guo Qisheng: "Look, I've tried my best, you're unpopular!"
Yan Jiancheng said a few words, choking the former village chief so much that he didn't dare to speak, only to see him stand up and say to the people sitting in the back row: "A few of you have a word, if you say that Yuxiu is doing this, then I don't have any opinion, the premise is clear, I am for the good of our village, but I have no selfish intentions!"
"I think, no one can say anything about this matter, Yuxiang has made so many contributions to our village's breeding association, and the president of this breeding association should not be able to convince the public. One of the old men sat down and said, he was the village accountant under Yan Jiancheng, and he was also invited over today.
Yan Yuxiang stood up again and said: "Uncle Shuangzhu, why did you say that! You still don't know what I Yan Yuxiang is like, if I want to be in this position, I will be on the first one, why wait until now, I came here today to follow the wind of a few of you, and I have no other hopes and hopes." ”
These words are recognized by the people in the village, everyone knows that Yan Yuxiang is a person, before he was developed, he showed the image of a down-to-earth and capable young man to the people in the village, and now he has become the "10,000 yuan household" in the village.
Yan Shuangzhu said: "Yuxiang, I know you don't mean this, then you tell me, who should be more suitable, you point out the individual, and we support it unconditionally." Everyone sitting in the back row nodded yes.
Yan Yuxiang said: "How can I have that ability, or you see, but this must be said thoroughly, I am not afraid of offending people, so I will simply be this bad person, we now want to choose a person to be the president of the village breeding association, this president is not a village cadre recognized in the hometown, so this is a hard job." In fact, everyone here understands in their hearts, you just want to choose one between Yuxiu and Qisheng to be the president, I think it's also simple, it just so happens that the backbone of the breeding association is here, these seniors who are sitting behind you, plus the members of the previous village committee and the members of the village committee of this session, there are not many people in total, raise your hand to vote, whoever has more votes will be the president of the breeding association. ”
After he finished talking about this idea, Yan Yuxiu called out first, he knew that there were more people who supported him than Guo Qisheng, and he would definitely not be able to lose. "Ah, it's still my brother Yuxiang's flexible brain, I think let's just choose it like this, Qisheng, what do you think? Let's say it in advance, whoever loses the election can't be anxious, if it's urgent, then you don't really want to contribute to Yanxiang Village." Besides, if you can't be elected, won't there be a member of the Standing Committee of the village committee to keep it for you? Yan Yuxiu's implication is that he is determined to succeed.
Yan Yuxiang still remembers the last time he and Yan Yuxiu drank, Yan Yuxiu made it clear that he was not interested in the president of this breeding association, and he did not have that ability, but now when he saw this piece of meat delivered to his mouth, he desperately wanted to eat it in his mouth, as if he originally belonged to himself. It's the same with Guo Qisheng, if he could weigh the pros and cons and directly run for the president of the breeding association at that time, where would Yan Yuxiu be there now!
I only heard Guo Qisheng say: "Okay, then let's choose, it's still the same sentence, it's all for the good of the village!"
When everyone saw that the two parties agreed to do this, they all loudly agreed. Even if there are still some people who are unwilling, in the face of the cries of the masses, those individual voices seem insignificant.
The teachers of the primary school in the village quickly counted the number of people, and the previous village committee, plus the new village committee, plus the old cadres sitting behind and the active backbone of the village breeding association, there were a total of 22 people, many of whom wore many hats. It's already good to have twenty-two votes, but of course that's not even Yan Yuxiang. Although Yan Yuxiang was barely able to become a member of the breeding association, he did not walk around the village all year round. It's really not an active backbone. Of course, he deliberately kept a low profile when filling out the ballot for the second election, and no one seemed to notice that he did not vote. Maybe in Yan Yuxiang's heart, he knew that there should be one of his own votes in this room, and he didn't abstain, but left it for the most critical time.
The ballots for the second election were quickly filled out, and the elementary school teacher then sang the ballots, but the difference was that only two names were left on the blackboard - Yan Yuxiu and Guo Qisheng.
Yan Yuxiu was not worried about the second election at all, he said in his heart: "I can elect you as the village chief, just this little president, how much ability can you have!"
But the result is often unexpected, the primary school teacher announced the end of the vote, everyone looked at the blackboard, only to see two orthography drawn below the two people, and there was a horizontal under the orthography. It means that the two of them received an equal number of votes, both of which were eleven votes.
I only heard the elementary school teacher say loudly: "The election results of Yanxiang Village's election for the position of president of the Breeding Association, Yan Yuxiu has eleven votes and Guo Qisheng has eleven votes. No abstentions. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, and the most surprising among them was Yan Yuxiu, who was incomprehensible to him that he was so far ahead when he was running for village head, why it would be so difficult to elect a small president now! In fact, the reason was very simple, most of the votes of the village cadres were for Yan Yuxiu, but all the votes of the active officers of the breeding association were for Guo Qisheng. Their idea is: After all, Guo Qisheng has the second largest pig farm in the village, and if Yan Yuxiu, a person who doesn't know how to raise pigs, manages the breeding association, he may not know what it will be!
Everyone didn't know what to do now, and looked at Yan Yuxiang with a brush, because the idea was come up with him, and the bell had to be tied to the bell.
