Chapter 65: An Accident Occurred
Duan Yu wanted to publicize the knowledge of the village official election and the villagers' democratic self-governance and the precautions for filling in the ballot to Gao Xianzong and other ordinary people as usual, Gao Xianzong was a straight man, waved his hand and said: "Baby, don't tell me the truth, I don't understand, I only know that it is impossible for our Gaojia Village to choose a person with a foreign surname to be the village director......."
Several other elderly people who came with Gao Xianzong also said: "Yes, the people of Damin are good, but no matter what, it is impossible for us to choose a person with a foreign surname as the village director......."
Duan Yu knew that Gao Xianzong's ideas also represented the thoughts of many villagers surnamed Gao, and the clan idea was also a narrow idea that restricted the state from promoting villagers' democratic autonomy, so he smiled slightly: " I would like to ask you a question, there is a family, two old people and a son, a daughter-in-law, the two old people are old, ready to pass on the family business, want to choose a family, but the son is a loser, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and does nothing, but the daughter-in-law who is looking for is very shrewd and capable, and is very good at running the house, you say that these two old people should let their sons be in charge of the house, or let the daughter-in-law be in charge of the house?......
As soon as Duan Yu put on a high hat, Gao Xianzong was also a little fluttering, and waved his hand and said, "Isn't that simple? It must be to let the daughter-in-law be in charge, and let the son be in charge of the house, isn't the family defeated?......
Duan Yu slapped hard and said: "Yes, this village is also the same as a family, choosing the village director is to choose the head of the village, of course, you must choose the shrewd and capable, this family will become more and more prosperous, if you choose a loser, this family will only get poorer and poorer, although the daughter-in-law is a foreign surname, but she is also a member of the family, as long as she has this family in her heart, she should be elected to be the head of the family! Master, do you say that I am right?!......."
"Uh......" Gao Xianzong was unconsciously bypassed by Duan Yu, wanting to say that Duan Yu was right but couldn't wipe his face, he wanted to refute but couldn't slap himself in the mouth, and Duan Yu's words also touched him a lot, making him a little shaken in his decision.
At this time, the election was about to start, Duan Yu didn't say more, and gently patted Gao Xianzong's shoulder and said: "Master, you go to get the ballot first, and then think about it, everyone has a pole in their hearts, who is more beneficial to the people of Gaojia Village, I believe you will definitely make the right choice......
Gao Xianzong and others left thoughtfully, at this time the people of Gaojia Village also arrived, Liu Aimin, who was responsible for presiding over the election of village officials on the stage, announced the official start of the election, Vice Minister Xie first reiterated the importance of the election of village officials on behalf of the county government, of course, these official faces and the people did not listen to it, and when they applauded, they were a little sparse, and Vice Minister Xie's face was also a little unsightly.
According to the election procedure, the next thing is for the candidate to make a campaign speech, Gao Qiusheng, as the former village director, this time is to strive for re-election, he will come to power first, he is also not allowed to get on the stage, he has not yet come to the stage, his legs trembled with nervousness, and when he came to the stage, he also fell down, and the people in the audience laughed.
Originally, Ding Baoguo specially found someone to help Gao Qiusheng write a brilliant speech, so that he could memorize the script, but as soon as he came to the stage, he forgot it all when he was nervous, and he stumbled and stumbled when he spoke, turning things upside down, and said again and again that Gaojia Village should not choose a person with a foreign surname, but only him, Ding Baoguo frowned when he heard it, and the people in the audience booed, Gao Aihua, who was standing in the audience, was so angry that he danced and gestured desperately to let Gao Qiusheng get off the stage quickly, don't stand on it and be embarrassed.
When it was Chen Damin's turn to come to power, it was a sharp contrast, although he only had high Chinese, but he worked outside for several years, and he also saw the world, and he opened a pig farm over the years, and he had to deal with the outside world for a long time, and he also exercised out, and strode up to the stage without hurry, and said loudly: " Leaders, fellow villagers, hello everyone, I, Chen Damin, am running for the head of this village, one is not for fame, the other is not for profit, I just want to lead everyone to make a fortune, working outside for a few years, my biggest feeling is that our hometown is too poor, too backward ......".
"If you want to make a fortune, you can't wait, rely on, want, look at the government's poverty subsidy every day is impossible to get rich, you can only rely on everyone's hard-working hands, if you trust me, elect me as the village director, I am ready to set up a one-to-one poverty alleviation and mutual aid group in the village, everyone gets rich together, and we also have to find ways to improve the roads, education, and health conditions in the village......."
After Chen Damin's speech, the venue resounded with thunderous applause, except for a very few people, most of the villagers applauded, Liu Aimin and Duan Yu both showed a knowing smile, this applause represents the will of the people, if nothing else, Chen Damin was elected as the village director.
Ding Baoguo frowned, his face was very ugly, and he glanced at Gao Aihua, who also had an iron face in the audience, Gao Aihua nodded, and made a gesture to the dozen or so young men sitting at the back of the audience, those young men stood up, turned around and left the venue, Ding Baoguo quietly patted Vice Minister Xie's shoulder on the side, and said with a smile: "Minister Xie, I've been sitting for so long, let's go to the side to smoke a cigarette, I'll tell you something, just say hello to Township Chief Liu here......" The two also got up and left.
At this time, the voting had begun, and the villagers all stood up, so no one paid attention to the departure of the dozen or so young men, and the villagers consciously lined up in a long line, walked to the ballot box in front of the rostrum in an orderly manner, cast their solemn votes, and returned to their seats after a circle, waiting for the next most interesting public vote counting.
After all the villagers have finished voting, the staff sent by the county to supervise the ballot box has been inspected in public, and they are ready to start public voting, Duan Yu has prepared a mobile blackboard, and the staff will stand aside with chalk to draw the word "Zheng", and every time he reads the name of a candidate, he will draw a stroke under his name, and the voting results are clear at a glance, and the villagers have also quieted down, staring intently at the blackboard in front of them, waiting for the election results.
At this time, the dozen or so young men who had begun to leave came back again, and one of them rushed in the direction of the ballot box with a wooden stick in his hand, shouting as he went, "We resolutely do not want someone with the surname of accident to be the village head! There is a problem in this election, and some people are playing tricks!"
The villagers immediately recognized that these people were the most disgusting gangsters and idlers in the village, who specialized in stealing chickens and dogs and bullying neighbors on weekdays, and the villagers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, especially the strong man with tattoos on his face with a scar on his head, his name was Gao Sanbiao, and the villagers secretly called him Fu Biao, which means that he has lost his conscience and is extremely vicious.
This Gao Sanbiao is a tyrant in Gaojia Village, and he also has dealings with the underworld elements in the county, so the villagers dare not offend him, this guy launched a crazy attack on his six relatives and did not recognize him, even his old father who was over sixty years old was beaten, and he looked fierce, and the villagers avoided him when they saw him.
