White Crane Village.

Today is the time for the election of the village committee of Baihe Village.

There are more than 5,000 people in Baihe Village, and more than half of the villagers who have reached the age of 18 can go to the village committee to vote today, regardless of whether they are literate or not, as long as they are willing to vote.

The election method in Baihe Village is very simple, the captains of each team draw up a list of candidates after unifying the opinions of their own teams, and then delete the candidates according to the number of votes on the list of candidates, and only candidates who meet certain conditions will appear on the final candidate list.

In the playground of Baihe Elementary School, more than a dozen tables are set up, and on each table is a small blackboard with the names of the candidates written on it, and under the small blackboard is a closed bamboo basket containing ballot papers.

The so-called ballot paper means that the voter himself or someone else writes his name, ID card number and the name of the brigade on a note issued by the village committee, and folds it in half to represent support for the candidate, and the real-name system is implemented.

"How is it, Lao Yang, have you written it well?"

There were a lot of people on the playground, and there were not a few gray-haired old men, and there were even some illiterate women pulling a child to write a ballot at the signing place next to them.

"Is this a correct word?"

"Oh, don't bother me, you can't write it correctly, you write it yourself."

"You kid!"

"Alright, alright, throw it in."

From morning to night, Baihe Primary School has not been left until the evening, when someone came in a hurry on a bicycle and threw a bunch of notes before leaving, and the cadres of the village committee waited until it was almost dark to move the desks back to the classroom, sealed the bamboo basket and moved it into the village committee office to start counting the votes.

Several young teachers from the village were also called in to count the numbers, and the captains of the various brigades were watching the votes below, and it was not until about nine o'clock in the evening that everyone's votes were counted.

The results were both unexpected and reasonable.

It is not surprising that Zhang Wenlin was still elected as the secretary of the village party committee of Baihe Village with an almost unanimous vote rate, and it was unexpected that Zhang Wenlin was elected as the village head of Baihe Village with the highest percentage of votes.

Originally, everyone wanted to continue to promote Shi Lao's village chief this time, but because he was too old, he didn't agree, and everyone had no choice but to give up, but what they didn't expect was that Zhang Wenlin even got the highest number of votes for the position of village head, and everyone in the room was stunned for a while.

Because this situation has almost never occurred in the history of Hakutsuru Village, I don't know what to do for a while.

"What is this now?"

"Otherwise, let's elect the village chief again."

"Don't talk nonsense, is it too late now, besides, this is not a game with mud, if you want to re-elect, you can re-elect, can the people in the village say it?"

"In my opinion, it's better to forget it like this, count all the results tonight, and tomorrow each team will meet to inform this matter, and then coordinate the opinions, if there are not too many objections in the team, then how about we announce according to the results?"

The crowd fell silent.

A few minutes go by in an instant.

"Medium! That's it! ”

"I also agree, if it really doesn't work, it's not too late to choose tomorrow, let's count the results now."

Since the candidates were not allowed to participate in the entire election process except to vote, the votes were actually scrutinized and counted only by the captains of the various brigades and the non-candidate members of the village committees, as well as some people of high moral standing in the village, and, of course, the township cadres in charge of administrative supervision.

As soon as everyone's opinions were unified, the results were quickly counted, and after being circulated once, they were immediately locked, and early the next morning, the results were posted on the propaganda wall of the Baihe Village Committee.

In fact, there was no need to post it at all, it was just a formality, and by the evening of the day, almost the whole village knew the results of the election, and what was missing now was a formal meeting to confirm it.

In fact, Zhang Chen's guess was very accurate, and the result was almost better than expected, is it okay for Zhang Wenlin to be a secretary? That's a must.

What about being a village chief? Results are also a must.

This is not completely dependent on the prestige and trust maintained by emotion, and there is also the maintenance of interests in the middle, so Zhang Wenlin's appointment as the village party secretary is almost an ironclad thing, and concurrently serving as the village chief is just an accident, but the more unexpected things are, the more they can explain a lot of problems.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the same day, the meeting room of the village committee was crowded with people.

Since the election results were announced and a new village committee was formed, there were quite a few people who came, and the captains of almost every brigade came, as well as cadres of all sizes in the village, adding up to about forty or fifty people.

Since the election results have been known for a long time, Zhang Wenlin is still the village party secretary of Baihe Village before he leaves office, and the position in the middle is still left to him.

After sitting down, the conference room became very unusually quiet, Zhang Wenlin opened the cup and took a sip of water, only to realize that something was wrong.

"What's going on today?"

The voice has not yet fallen.

Bang Bang Bang!

Although the effect of more than forty or fifty people clapping at the same time is not like a tsunami, it can also be called a thunderous applause, the momentum is not small, Zhang Wenlin was stunned, grinning and smiling like a flower, not that he is complacent, but why, I don't know who held up a sign in the center of the seat, guess what is written on the sign?

"Warmly celebrate Secretary Zhang's re-election!"

The following sentence:

"I hope Boss Zhang invites us to eat grilled fish!"

"Okay, okay, stop it, don't stop and don't talk about grilled fish, don't drink fish soup."

A group of people laughed and made trouble there for a long time, and every time the village committee held a meeting, Zhang Wenlin would have a headache for a long time, why? You see, this is the case, don't be too noisy to panic, so you will toss for a long time first, and then you will get to the point, that is, the major events of the election must stand at the back.

His son Zhang Chen said that the Baihe Village Village Committee is a local specialty, the vegetable market village committee, otherwise how to specialize in growing vegetables, and when you plant fruit trees, it will be the Guoxiang Village Committee.

In fact, when it comes to the meeting, the village committee is not even as good as the vegetable market, but the vegetable market is still serious and shouting and bargaining prices, and the village committee meeting is a group of big and rough people chatting about homely things, and the east is long and the west is short.

finally waited for everyone to calm down, Zhang Wenlin didn't bother to talk nonsense, let them be quiet for a while, and I didn't know if there was an accurate number.

"The results of the election are out, I, Zhang, not only became the secretary this time, but also became the village head, and you all have to invite me to eat grilled fish when I go back, why? Leave all this drudgery to me, and treat me like a donkey, whether it is right for me to eat a meal of grilled fish, you say for yourselves. ”

After saying this, the audience immediately burst into laughter, and when he raised his hand, he slowly calmed down again.

"Since the new village committee has been decided, we will not engage in those drives, and we will take office at the beginning of the year, and this year the new rules will be changed, and the captains of each brigade will automatically become alternate members of the village committee in the future, and participate in the meetings of the village committee, but they are mainly responsible for the situation of each brigade itself.

Everyone is here today, it's almost the New Year, and I don't know when it's a head after being busy this year, maybe Chinese New Year's Eve will suddenly come to a meeting with a bar, so today I will finish everything I can say, go back to have a good year, and make more money next year.

As we all know, the development momentum of our Baihe Village is very good, but after all, the plate is too small, the land area, and the population are not large, and it is not so easy to develop, so after the last collective discussion of the last village committee, of course, the opinions of the various brigades were also solicited, and I announced that from this year, we will officially change the name of Baihe Village, called United Baihe New Village.

This joint Baihe New Village, there are three more words, that is, two words, a union, a new, what does the union mean, that is, the combination of contact, the object is to join our Baihe Village's surrounding brigade, population, specific plan after the year and then we will talk, new? From now on, we will formally put forward the slogan of "carrying out rural reform, implementing rural industrialization and innovation, promoting rural economic development, and building a new socialist countryside" in Baihe New Village, so we are a new countryside, and we will renew it in the future, one step at a time. ”

The applause has drowned out Zhang Wenlin's voice, because this village committee election should have been held two years later, but the collective discussion of the previous village committee and the introduction of the new development plan of Baihe Village have unexpectedly unified the opinions of the old village committee and the various brigades, so the emergence of the joint Baihe New Village has almost everyone's support.

This kind of concerted efforts is not easy to come by, Zhang Wenlin's words are just right, at the end of 97 years, the White Crane people seem to have found a new way for them to lead to a better tomorrow.

It's just that this road is very long and full of twists and turns, and in the days to come, the Baihe people will have to pay a lot to achieve their pure and simple goal, which is to move towards a new countryside and a new life.

At the end of the new century, the people of Baihe are very pleased to find a way that can lead them out of their old life and open up a new situation.
