Chapter 16: Election Turmoil (4)

Yan Yuxiang didn't have the slightest expression of surprise as if he had expected this outcome. I saw him slowly stand up and said: "Fellow villagers, I Yan Yuxiang has also lived for more than 40 years, I just want to do my own thing, so that my wife and children can eat and drink well, I didn't think about what contribution I can make to our village, but the farming in the village is the first to start, this is undeniable, this election of the new leader of our village's breeding association, I don't know if I, Yan Yuxiang, am qualified to vote." As he spoke, he picked up the paper in his hand and shook it.

As soon as he finished saying this, many people realized that Yan Yuxiang did not participate in the election, and in their hearts Yan Yuxiang participated in the election as a matter of course, even if he proposed to be the president of this breeding association now, it is estimated that no one objected, but things are often like this: the most familiar is the easiest to forget!

At this time, the crowd shouted: "Of course Brother Yuxiang, whoever you say is who, our ability to raise pigs is a fart in the eyes of Brother Yuxiang!" and some radical people shouted: "Uncle Yuxiang, I think you will do this president, you have to say that you are not unconvinced, if you choose someone else, there will always be unconvinced." ”……

Yan Yuxiang listened to these remarks, and arched his hand to the crowd, which was regarded as a response, and then he turned his head and looked at the people sitting on the bench in the back row, obviously asking for their opinions, at this time, except for Yan Jiancheng and a few other people, everyone else said: "Yuxiang, you look at it, it's not a way to make trouble like this." ”

Yan Jiancheng has a plan in his heart, at this time, seeing that it has become a good situation for the two of them to fight against each other, as long as he adds another fire, this position must be Guo Qisheng's, but now Yan Yuxiang has stood up, not to mention that he is more effective than himself now, even if he is just an ordinary officer, if he wants to make up for a vote, he can't say anything. He is Yan Yuxiu's eldest brother, so he was naturally chosen, alas, it seems that the things that Guo Qisheng sent to his door have to be sent back intact.

Yan Yuxiang lowered his body and asked, "Uncle Jiancheng, what do you mean by always being old?"

I saw Yan Jiancheng smile and said: "Yuxiang, I'm old, the village has to rely on you young people, and this matter is up to you." After saying this, he glanced at Guo Qisheng in the corner, as if telling him that there was nothing he could do. I saw Guo Qisheng standing alone in the corner, like a lonely hero. Judging from the expression on his face alone, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.

After Yan Yuxiang got everyone's consent, he slowly walked to the podium, only to see him take a piece of chalk from the hand of the elementary school teacher. Of course, most people thought that it must be painted for their younger brother Yan Yuxiu.

When he passed by Yan Yuxiu's side, Yan Yuxiu's excitement was overflowing, only to see him call "brother" in a low voice, and at this moment he felt that Yan Yuxiang's brother was not in vain, and he took care of himself a little.

Yan Yuxiang walked to the blackboard, he didn't hesitate, he couldn't pretend. I saw that he used the chalk in his hand to draw a heavy vertical under Guo Qisheng's orthography. This stunned everyone. Among them, there are two people who are most surprised, one is the long-awaited Yan Yuxiu, and the other is Yan Jiancheng, who is not used to him. Yan Yuxiu didn't expect that the matter of her steady victory would suddenly turn around in an instant, and the person who manipulated the reversal was none other than Yan Yuxiang, who swore at that time to help her campaign. Yan Jiancheng didn't expect that he would put Guo Qisheng on the chairman's seat.

The results of the ballot have been decided, Guo Qisheng has 12 votes, Yan Yuxiang has 11 votes, and Guo Qisheng has been elected president of the Yanxiang Village Breeding Association. The elementary school teacher shouted out at an inopportune time.

After Yan Yuxiang finished writing, he turned his head, still habitually waving his hand, and said: " Don't quarrel with everyone, I didn't choose wrong, Yuxiu is my younger brother, he won't blame me, we are now going to choose a person who can lead the village breeding association to the road to riches, although Yuxiang is capable, but he doesn't know how to breed, although Qisheng is a foreign surname, but from his father's generation moved over, we are all a good buddy from childhood to adulthood, Qisheng's pig farm is also the best and fastest development, in my opinion, it will catch up with my family in a few years. Therefore, for the sake of the breeding industry in our village, I decided to vote for Qisheng. I hope he can really contribute to the construction of our Yanxiang Village!" When the crowd saw that the result had been decided, they applauded, and some of the young people who had done good things shouted loudly.

Yan Yuxiang waved his hand and said, "Since it's decided, let's ask the two new leaders to give a few words." ”

As he spoke, he dragged Yan Yuxiu up, and he stepped aside. Yan Yuxiang's hand confused Yan Yuxiu, until Yan Yuxiang dragged him up, he was still He Xiangu going home - the clouds came and went in the fog. I saw that he was calm, and told himself in his heart: "Don't leak a little bad emotion! Don't!" But his ability to control the field is obviously not as good as Guo Qisheng, who is like a peaceful lake, after all, he still shows that he is unhappy. He didn't have the heart to say anything more. I saw him bow his hand to Guo Qisheng and say, "Qisheng, congratulations!" and then turned his head and said, "Everyone, you will all go to my house to drink tomorrow night." After saying this, he set aside everyone and walked away, without looking at Yan Yuxiang again from beginning to end.

After watching this scene, everyone sighed and shook their heads, and said, "Alas...... How can Yuxiu do this! There is no successor to the Yan family!"

Then everyone coaxed: "President Guo said two words!"

Guo Qisheng smiled, stood in the middle, and said: "Brother Bucai, followed my father to Yanxiang Village to settle down, over the years, the villagers have not only treated me as an outsider, but also helped me all the time." I am very grateful to all of you. In the past few years, I have been stained with the light of Yanxiang Village, opened such a factory, and now I have been elected by everyone as the president of our village breeding association.

Some of them laughed and said: "Qisheng, you are not stained with the light of our village, you are stained with the light of Brother Yuxiang!"

After Guo Qisheng heard this, he didn't look back, just smiled, and didn't say a word of thanks to Yan Yuxiang, but thanked Yan Jiancheng and others for their cultivation. He also left in a hurry.

The commotion of everyone dispersed, leaving Yan Yuxiang alone and slowly walking towards the factory. He has never understood one thing in his heart: Yan Yuxiu did not thank himself because he did not choose him at the critical moment, this is easy to understand, then why did he choose Guo Qisheng in front of so many people, but Guo Qisheng still did not want to say thank you! He was not fighting for this thank, he just didn't understand whether he was right or wrong to do this! Alas...... Maybe it's right to stand on one side, so that you won't offend people at both ends, you are originally kind, why no one understands!

The next day, most of the prominent figures in the village went to Yan Yuxiu's house to drink, but Yan Yuxiang was reluctant to go. He wasn't afraid that Yan Yuxiu would blame himself, but if he went at this time, wouldn't he add to the blockage of the whole village! He could also think that without him, people would let go of this drinking party.

That night he told his wife not to come to the factory to cook for him, but to go home and eat. As soon as it was dark, Yan Yuxiang walked home, in fact, the factory was not far from home, he was reluctant to meet acquaintances on the road, so as not to be asked: "Brother Yuxiang, Yuxiu became the village head, today is a treat, why didn't you go!" He really didn't know how to answer, only to see him throw off his steps and arrive home after a while.

After returning home, Yan Yuxiang asked his wife to prepare two plates of side dishes, and he poured himself by himself. In the past few years, Yan Xiuping has been inconvenient to meddle in her husband's business, and after cooking dinner for the children every day, she went to the village to form a bureau and play mahjong. When she saw her husband like this tonight, she knew that he had something on his mind.

Yan Xiuping took a wine glass, sat down too, poured herself a glass of wine, and said, "I played mahjong today and heard that Yuxiu became the village chief?"

Yan Yuxiang didn't seem to listen, just said a soft "um".

Yan Xiuping continued: "I also heard that you voted for Guo Qisheng when the village elected the president of the breeding association?"

Yan Yuxiang asked rhetorically, "Who did you listen to?"

"Hey, in front of so many people, can you hide this kind of thing?" Yan Xiuping said.

"Is it wrong for me to vote for Guo Qisheng? Although he is a foreign surname, his ability is indeed stronger than Yuxiu, and the breeding association is in his hands, I can rest assured, if Yuxiu does it, the breeding industry in the village that has finally risen up will be finished sooner or later!" Yan Yuxiang seemed to have caught a punching bag, and there were a lot of them.

Yan Xiuping hurriedly said: "Okay, well, then you are so reasonable, what are you worried about!"

Yan Yuxiang said: "What I can't figure out is the attitude of the two people, Yuxiu won't be able to think clearly for a while, that's nothing, but Guo Qisheng, I obviously support him in front of so many people, why doesn't he even want to say a word of thanks!"

After Yan Xiuping heard this, she laughed, it turned out that he was anxious about this matter. She didn't rush to answer her husband's question, but shouted, "Fuyuko, come here." ”

Dongzi was going to take the high school entrance examination in a few days, and he was doing his homework in another room, when he heard his mother calling him, so he ran over.

I saw Yan Xiuping pull Dongzi into her arms, let him sit on her lap, and then said, "Dongzi, tell your father about the election of class president in your class." ”

Yan Yuxiang complained: "He's doing his homework, why are you bothering him!"

Yan Xiuping didn't pay attention to his words, but tried hard to keep her mouth shut, and motioned for Dongzi to speak.

Fuyuko stuck out her tongue and said, "My class is running for class cadres, and I want to be a member of the sports committee, but our head teacher called me to his office and told me that he wanted me to run for class president, saying that I would definitely be able to be a class leader." ……”

"And what happened later?" asked her mother, Yan Xiuping.

"Later, I said to the head teacher: Qiangzi also wants to be the class leader, he is my good friend, and we both discussed that he should be the class leader and I would be the sports committee. But the head teacher said: Qiangzi's academic performance is not good, let him be a sports committee, and I will be the class leader. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yuxiang was suddenly very interested in this story. "And what about the end result?" he asked.

I only heard Dongzi continue: "In the final election, I had about the same number of votes, but I became the squad president, and Qiangzi became the sports commissioner. Hadron is still angry with me because of this!"

Dongzi won't say anything about it here, but Yan Xiuping felt that the words were not thorough, so she said, "Then are you happy to be the squad leader?"

Dongzi said: "I'm not happy, and Qiangzi is not happy, because I want to be a sports commissioner." I'm running fast!" he said, standing up, wanting to show his parents on the spot.

Yan Yuxiu said: "Okay, okay, the squad leader is the biggest official in your class, you can be content." Hurry up and do your homework!" After saying that, he gently slapped his buttocks, and Fuyuko left.

Yan Xiuping turned her head, looked at her husband's eyes, and asked, "Do you understand now?"

Yan Yuxiang seems to understand whether he understands or not, he has used his brain to raise pigs in the past few years, but he has not thought about human feelings so thoroughly.

Yan Xiuping had no choice but to say again: "You are really stupid! Let me tell you, Yuxiu originally wanted to be the village head, but Yanxiang Village has always been the village chief and the president, so it is impossible for Yuxiu to spit it out happily. As for Guo Qisheng, you said that people originally wanted to be the village chief, just like Dongzi originally wanted to be a sports commissioner, but now you let the family become the president, not to mention the size of the official, in short, he will be unhappy, because this is not what he originally meant. In the end, Yan Xiuping concluded: "You! I think I have done a great thing, but in fact, this matter is not pleasing to both ends, I think you, the road ahead is not good." ”

Yan Yuxiang took a sip of wine, raised his head, and said, "Listen to what you mean, can I still make them tidy?"

Yan Xiuping said solemnly: "You want to have a snack, don't be so kind, don't you take a look, when we just raised pigs, there are a few households in the village that can compare, this is good, in recent years, others don't say it, as far as Guo Qisheng is concerned, I think it will almost surpass you, can you not be so kind!"

Seeing that Yan Yuxiang didn't respond, she said again: "You think Guo Qisheng and Yan Yuxiang are honest people like you?

Yan Yuxiang waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious!"

Yan Xiuping shook her chopsticks and said, "You! You can't open your mind whether you live or die! This incident is not a human being at both ends, and you don't have a long memory! You must remember that you must guard against these two people!"

Yan Yuxiang didn't approve of it, but he also felt that there was no need to argue, so he took some food and put it in his mouth.

Yan Xiuping looked at him like this, obviously didn't take her words to heart, so she snorted dissatisfiedly and left the table.
