Chapter 45: The New Village Chief
In the past two days, the villagers of Chujia Village have discussed the most, in addition to when the cement road will be completed, another thing is about the candidate for village head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
For the village chief candidate, it was originally arranged by Chu Licheng, and for the villagers of Chujia Village to vote, it was just a formality.
For example, if the village elects the village head, even if it is a candidate, it is necessary to vote in a formal manner, depending on how much the support rate of the villagers is, and if too few people vote for it, the town will also consider whether to replace it at its discretion.
Although this matter was arranged by Chu Licheng, Chu Jianshe thought about it later, and discussed it with the village party secretary and the village director to see if there were any other candidates.
However, there were really no other candidates in the village, and Chu Jianshe recommended the village party secretary and village director, but the two quit with interest, saying that they did not have the ability to serve as the village chief.
In desperation, Chu Jianshe had no choice but to give up, and for other villagers, Chu Jianshe did not find a suitable one, and some of the villagers with great prestige were old again.
In fact, for Chu Jianghe to serve as the village head, in Chu Jianjian's view, it is not very suitable, Chu Jianshe was originally ready to give up the post of village head to the village party secretary after his retirement, but now it seems that Chu Xiaohua, the village party secretary, will not come forward to serve as the village head for the time being.
When night fell, the entire Chujia Village did not sleep after eating as usual, and the villagers of Chujia Village, who had been busy all day, after dinner, the whole family, young and old, went to the ancestral hall to participate in the election of the new village head held tonight.
The ancestral hall of Chujia Village is brightly lit at the moment, and in the ancestral hall, there is constant noise, black smoke and miasma, and many old smoking guns like to smoke, which has caused some women to abuse.
In the center of the hall, Chu Xiaohua, the village party secretary, had already prepared a ballot box, and at this moment, Chu Jianjian's father and son had not yet come, but the preliminary work was all in charge of Chu Xiaohua and the village director, and at eight o'clock, the voting would officially begin.
The voting for the election of the village chief will be held by secret ballot, and the votes will be counted on the spot, and the results will be reported and announced on the spot, which is also to ensure the principle of fairness and justice.
"Changjiang, are there any other candidates besides Jiang He tonight?" said an old man from the village to Li Changjiang.
Although Li Changjiang is not surnamed Chu, he is the same as the other three people with foreign surnames, they all belong to the villagers of Chujia Village, and they are also eligible to vote, and Li Changjiang's family has a high status in Chujia Village, plus Li Lingyue is now admitted to the university, and is the fifth college student in the village, and the status of Li Changjiang's family has been improved again.
You must know that the children who can be admitted to the undergraduate program in this era are basically iron rice bowls after graduating from college, and it is no problem to eat and live without worry, which is very enviable.
And in this era, as long as you can be admitted to a regular university for undergraduate, there is no need to worry about tuition at all, in 84 years, the university is not only free of tuition, even the tuition and miscellaneous fees are very small, and there is a monthly stipend subsidy, so eating is not a problem at all.
"Uncle, I don't know much about this, I think there should be only one river. Li Changjiang said.
"I'm not afraid, there must be the most people who support Brother Jianghe, anyway, I am the first to support Brother Jianghe's village secretary. Li Lingyue interjected at this time.
"Lingyue baby, what are you doing to make a fuss. The elder laughed.
"Grandpa Hong, I'm eighteen years old now, and I have the right to vote!" Li Lingyue snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, yes, our Lingyue baby has grown up. Everyone laughed.
As more and more villagers gathered, the whole ancestral hall gathered more and more, and many people couldn't stand such stuffy air, so they walked outside the ancestral hall and waited, breathing fresh air.
At around 7:40, Chu Jianjian's family came to the ancestral hall with a flashlight.
"The village chief. ”
"The river is coming. ”
"Gotta call the new village chief!"
With the arrival of Chu Jianshe and others, a road was out of the way, and Chu Jianshe and Chu Jianghe walked towards the ancestral hall.
"The village chief is here. Chu Xiaohua saw Chu Jianjian's father and son coming, and said with a smile.
"Xiaohua has worked hard. Chu Jianjian said.
"It should. ”
Chu Jianghe nodded slightly to Chu Xiaohua, and said hello.
"Everyone is almost here, right?" asked Chu Jianjian.
"Almost, everyone is more active, this election of the village head, I am afraid that the most people have ever come, ninety percent of the villagers have come. Chu Xiaohua said with a smile.
Ten years ago, when Chu Jianshe was elected as the village head, less than seventy percent of the villagers came, but among the village chiefs in the previous elections, there were already more people. Unexpectedly, the vote to elect Chu Jianghe as the village chief would be more villagers.
"The more people who come to this, the better, so that it seems more fair and just. Chu Jianjian said.
"Well, the village chief is right, this can only show that Jianghe is very popular. Chu Xiaohua said.
It is inevitable that the popularity of Chujianghe will be prosperous, especially the construction of this cement road, and every family in the villagers will benefit from Chujianghe.
"I think it's almost time, so let's get started. Chu Jianshe looked at the villagers and said to Chu Xiaohua.
"Okay. Chu Xiaohua nodded.
Then, Chu Xiaohua looked at the villagers, some of the villagers beside him, seeing Chu Xiaohua looking, subconsciously stopped talking, and then the villagers in the rear also quieted down, and as soon as it was said, the villagers in the entire ancestral hall were quiet.
"Everyone, be quiet. Chu Xiaohua said: "Gather everyone to the ancestral hall tonight, everyone must know what to do, yes, our old village chief was transferred to the town, and Secretary Chu of the town suggested that Jiang He should be the next village head." ”
"According to the rules, the election of the new village head must be voted on and approved by more than two-thirds of the villagers. Chu Xiaohua looked around and asked.
In fact, Chu Jianshe asked Chu Xiaohua to say this, and he said this in front of the whole village, just to block the mouths of some people, don't let Chu Jianghe be elected as the village head, and some villagers say that the election of the village chief has hidden rules, and it is not good, so people gossip.
"Yes, if you have it, stand up yourself, the head of the construction village said, you can make an exception today, let him also become a candidate, and let everyone vote together. Chu Xiaohua said.
When the villagers heard Chu Xiaohua's words, most of them remained silent, some looked at the people around them to see if anyone stood up, and some people in the back were still whispering in private.
In fact, the villagers know very well that even if they stand up at this time, they will not be selected, mainly because Chu Jianghe's popularity is too hot.
"Since there is none, then there is only one candidate, Jiang He, wait a minute, everyone will get two votes, one red, one green, if you are in favor of Jiang He as the village head, then you can put the green one into the ballot box, if you oppose Jiang He as the village head, then vote for the red one! Of course, in order not to let others see what votes they voted, after waiting in line, they will go to the voting room one by one to vote," Chu Xiaohua said.
The so-called number of votes is a hut next to the ancestral hall, the hut is very small, there is no door, only a piece of cloth, separating the ancestral hall from the hut, and the voter can come out after lifting the cloth and voting for it, and others can't see what he votes for.
The reason why I chose two colors to vote is mainly because many villagers have never read a book and can't write at all, let alone write, even with a pen is very difficult.
Relatively speaking, it is easier and easier to vote for and against different colors, and it will not burden the villagers.
"Now start invoicing. Chu Xiaohua said, and Ergouzi and a few other young people who had mixed with Chu Jianghe hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Although there were more villagers who came, Chu Xiaohua prepared a lot of tickets, and they were all cut out of paper, just a small piece. After the villagers got the votes, many people discussed in low voices, wanting to know what other people voted.
Under the leadership of Chu Xiaohua, the villagers lined up and began to enter the hut one by one, put the votes into the ballot box, and then walked out.
"Everyone is clear, the green one is agree, you only need to vote for one at a time, and when the number of votes exceeds the number of people, the vote will be invalid!"
It took about an hour for more than 300 villagers to vote their votes, and in the end, even Chu Jianjian, Chu Jianghe, Chu Xiaohua and others also voted for themselves.
Some of the villagers who voted went back after voting, and the ancestral hall was not so crowded.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Xiaohua took out the ballot box, and under the operation of Chu Xiaohua, the village director and Chu Ming, the votes began to be counted on the spot.
I saw that the votes taken out of the ballot box were basically green, with very few red ones, mixed with green pieces of paper, which looked very conspicuous.
"Everybody has seen it, now start counting the votes. Chu Xiaohua said.
During the whole process, in order to avoid suspicion, Chu Jianshe stood aside and did not step forward.
With the counting of the votes of Chu Xiaohua and others, including Chu Jianjian, a total of 315 villagers participated in the vote, but the total number of votes was only 312, and there were three less, which Chu Xiaohua directly called abstention.
Of the 312 votes, 305 were green, and seven were red, representing opposition to Chu Jianghe's position as village head.
The final voting result was 305:7, and Chu Jianghe successfully served as the next head of Chujia Village with 97.76% of the villagers' support.
After all the votes were counted, Chu Xiaohua said: "Please build the old village chief and announce the voting results!"
"A total of 315 villagers participated in the vote, of which 305 votes were in favor, 7 votes were against, and 3 abstentions, 97.76% of the total votes were in favor.
After saying this, the ancestral hall resounded with warm applause, and everyone smiled, obviously, everyone was quite satisfied with this vote.
"Next, I would like to invite our new village chief to speak, everyone is welcome. Chu Jianshe looked at Chu Jianghe and said with a smile.
In the ancestral hall, applause was thunderous.
