Even if Wang Peng was unwilling to Tian Zhanggui, but others spoke lightly, except for sighing repeatedly in his heart, there was no other way to think about it.

In order to ensure that there would be no more problems in the branch election that Shiquan restarted, the township asked Wang Peng and Han Yafen to go to the homes of every party member in the village to go around and find out the bottom of it, and by the way, they also penetrated the meaning of the township.

It is not an easy job for 21 party members to walk around their homes. Shiquan Village is not as good as other villages, there will be many people at home during the day, because there is no farm work to do, except for the old and weak women who are weaving flat knitting machines at home, everyone else basically goes out to make money, and there are basically no people at night. Wang Peng's house is in Shiquan, there is not much of a problem, but it is inconvenient for Han Yafen to rush in and out every day, Wang Peng suggested that she live in his house temporarily, anyway, Wang Hui and Sun Meimei are not there, Wang Shuai is nervous about studying in the third year of high school and lives in school again, and there is just one more room at home.

Han Yafen is 23 years old, newly married for just half a year, her husband is a teacher in the county middle school, she usually lives in the township collective dormitory, she only goes back for two nights every weekend, and comes back to work early on Monday morning, which is one of the fashionable weekend couples in the township.

Wang Peng invited Han Yafen to stay at home temporarily, she didn't squirm, it was much more convenient than rushing around alone, and Wang Tiesuo and his wife were very enthusiastic, and they had hot dishes to eat every day, which was much more delicious than the same meals in the canteen.

For several days in a row, they visited several party members at home, and then went to Hua Xinghua's house after dinner that night. Speaking of this Hua Xinghua, it is the distant cousin of Hua Leper who wanted to carry Huang Huang with Wang Peng back then, usually speaking and doing things to admit death, unless he approves of things himself, otherwise he feels that it is wrong no matter what you say to him, and he belongs to the kind of person who is absolutely entangled. Wang Peng has never understood why Hua Xinghua joined the party?

Coincidentally, Hua Lezi, who has been wandering around the county town in recent years, also came back to visit the door, and when he saw Wang Peng and Han Yafen walking in together, he walked over with kicks and feet, "Oh, Wang Ermao, now I have gone to the township, and I look like a dog!" He circled around Wang Peng and Han Yafen twice, "Is it the moon rising in the west tonight, what are you doing in Geri?" ”

Wang Peng smiled, "Uncle Hua, it's the fourth day of the new year today, shouldn't the moon rise from the west and set in the east?" ”

Han Yafen couldn't help but snicker when she heard it, Hua Lezi looked up at the moon a little uncertainly, "nn, why is it really hanging in the west?" ”

Hua Xinghua was carrying a bottle of wine out, and wanted to hang himself in the courtyard with Hua Lezi, and he could hear their conversation, and he couldn't help but hate Hua Leper: "You are a person, I usually tell you to learn more things, but don't listen!" Now even such a crude and conspicuous thing has to be told by a junior, don't be embarrassed! ”

"Uncle Xinghua!" Wang Peng and Han Yafen walked towards Hua Xinghua, "This is also not to blame Uncle Hua, it is estimated that there are few people in the village who know the reason like Uncle Xinghua!" ”

Wang Peng's words, on the one hand, praised Hua Xinghua, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as helping Hua Xinghua to relieve the siege. Hua Lezi immediately shouted at his cousin, "That's it, you think they are all like you, and they are going to learn some three-legged cats?" ”

Hua Xinghua ignored Hua Lezi, sat down on the wooden bench, bit the lid of the wine bottle with his mouth, and then asked Wang Peng and them: "The two cadres came at night, don't you just discuss which side of the moon rises, right?" ”

Wang Peng was not polite, walked straight over and took a stool for Han Yafen to sit down on, and then took one himself and sat down. "Originally, I was going to come during the day, but Uncle Xinghua was busy making money, so we are embarrassed to disturb you to make money, right?" While speaking, Hua Xinghua had already handed over a bowl of wine, Wang Peng stretched out his hand to take it and said, "It's not a big deal, isn't it that the village chief of Tiantian tore up the ticket a few days ago, and he has to be re-elected, let's think about going around, and listen to Uncle Xinghua's ideas on the selection of the village party secretary?" ”

"Ouch, Ermao is here!" Hua Xinghua just took a sip of wine and wanted to speak, and his wife Zhao Yumei walked out with two bowls of dishes, "It seems that I have to add two dishes!" ”

"Nonsense!" Hua Xinghua was interrupted by his wife, and scolded her angrily, "Of course you have to add vegetables to two more guests, it's long-winded!" ”

Zhao Yumei didn't argue with him, only beckoned Wang Peng and them not to be polite, and then went into the house to get busy.

Hua Lezi also sat down at this time, turned a pair of hanging white eyes, rubbed peanuts with both hands, and asked Wang Peng with a stalk around his neck: "This is unusual, the candidate for the village party secretary came to ask my brother's opinion?" When didn't this branch secretary be decided by the head of your family?! ”

Han Yafen coughed lightly and said, "Uncle Hua, isn't this advocating intra-party democracy now." ”

Hua Xinghua glared at his cousin quite authoritatively, and nodded at Wang Peng with chopsticks: "Ermao, in good conscience, as long as it is what you say, Uncle Xinghua will definitely support it!" I don't care who Yizhao Qiansun Li will be the village party secretary, as long as it can make me live a good life (note 1), it's fine! Anyway, it can't be me Hua Xinghua to be a branch secretary. ”

Hua Xinghua's words are straightforward, which sounds a bit irresponsible at first glance, but it is actually the most simple idea for most people. Therefore, Wang Peng did not frown like Han Yafen, but picked up the wine bowl and touched Hua Xinghua, "Uncle Xinghua, you believe me, I don't have to say, drink this wine first and then talk!" Then he threw his neck up and drank a bowl of wine.

"Wang Jiage's three sons are refreshing!" Hua Xinghua smiled and drank wine.

Wang Peng wiped his mouth and continued the topic, he didn't want to wait for Hua Xinghua to drink too much before talking about things, in that case it would definitely be uncertain. "Uncle Xinghua, what you said is very reasonable, the problem is that if the selected person is not recognized by everyone, it will be in vain."

"What's so hard about Ge?" Hua Xinghua waved his hand, "Don't worry, your Uncle Xinghua is still qualified as a party member, as long as you are a person who is in the middle of the organization, you will definitely raise your hands in favor!" ”

Speaking of this, it seemed that there was no way to talk about this topic anymore, so Wang Peng had to talk with the Hua brothers for a while before saying goodbye with Han Yafen.

In one night, I can't actually go to a few houses. Most men in Shiquan Village like to drink a few sips of wine when they eat at night, and as soon as this wine enters their stomachs, they can't talk to each other, Wang Peng and Han Yafen walked down, so naturally they couldn't talk to those who drank too much.

After more than ten days in a row, I finally visited everyone's homes, including Tian Zhanggui's house. Through the investigation, they learned that the people who were favored by everyone were concentrated in Tian Fugen, Tian Jiaqiang, Qiu Fenping, and Qiu Languan.

Speaking of Qiu Languan, this person is actually the old party secretary of Shiquan Village, who was re-elected for three consecutive terms before Qiu Mingfa, who is over seventy years old, but his temper is quite hot. Two-thirds of the 21 party members in Shiquan Village were developed and trained by him, so he has great prestige among party members. When Wang Peng and the others went to see him, he was very polite, saying that he would definitely support the work of the township and would do a good job in the ideological work of other party members to ensure that this election could be successfully completed.

With Qiu Languan's assurance, Wang Peng and Han Yafen felt a lot more relaxed, so they asked Qiu Mingfa to convene another pre-election mobilization meeting for party members, and the time was set for one night three days before the re-election.

After dinner, 21 party members went to the classroom of the village elementary school one after another, although Wang Peng asked Qiu Ming to take care of him when he sent a notice in advance, and asked everyone to refrain from drinking that night, but most of them had drunk, their faces were crimson, and their mouths were smoky.

Han Yafen just announced the start of the meeting, and Hua Xinghua in the audience knocked on the table and said loudly: "Little lady, I rely on the old and sell the old today, can you explain before the meeting, how to deal with Zhang Gui's case of tearing the ticket?" ”

Hua Xinghua's question caught Wang Peng and Han Yafen off guard, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but Tian Zhanggui in the audience squinted at them like no one else, as if Hua Xinghua was talking about someone else who had nothing to do with him.

The other party members also shouted at this time, slapping the table and asking Han Yafen to give an explanation. Because Wang Peng is from Shiquan and has made great efforts to pollute the village, and Han Yafen is a young woman with thin skin, they all pointed the finger at Han Yafen, which made her very unable to get off the stage for a while.

"Everyone, please calm down!" Han Yafen stood in front of the podium and shouted helplessly, "Village Chief Tian Zhanggui already has a deep understanding of what he did that day, and the township has asked him to review it in public at the next election meeting, hoping that everyone will be from Shiquan Village and give him a chance to change." ”

Qiu Languan waved his hand to stop everyone's commotion when Han Yafen first started shouting, but after listening to her words, he slammed the table and stood up and shouted: "Tear up the votes and ruin the election, just get a review, then the people elected in the future are not to our liking, are we all doing this?" Xiao Niang's 13 speech is really nonsense twenty-three (note 2), don't talk about the results of the grid! ”

"Yes, don't talk about it!" The people below immediately followed suit, and the classroom immediately resounded with a shouting and scolding, mixed with the sound of slapping the table and kicking the stool, and there was chaos again.

Wang Peng himself has opinions about not disposing of Tian Zhang Gui in the township, so at this time, he can't find a reason to persuade himself to do everyone's work, Han Yafen was dizzy and completely incapable of controlling the scene by the accidents that happened, Qiu Languan saw that they didn't react, stood up and walked away, Qiu Mingfa couldn't stop even shouting at him a few times.

As soon as Qiu Languan left, the others also dispersed noisily one after another, leaving Wang Peng, Han Yafen, and Qiu Mingfa there, and finally Qiu Mingfa also shook his head and sighed and left.

After being stunned for a while, Wang Peng and Han Yafen looked at each other with a wry smile, turned off the lights in the classroom, locked the door, and walked to Wang's house.

"I think that if this thing continues to be so democratic, most of the time it will not be fruitful by the end of the year." Wang Peng thought for a long time and said.

Han Yafen replied with a face full of grievances: "Why are these people like this, they all spoke well when they visited, and they were all very reasonable, why did they all change their tone as soon as the meeting began?!" ”

"Hehe, what's so hard to understand about this?" Wang Peng smiled, "Rural people are like this. What's more, when we talk to them, they don't drink much, or when they haven't drunk a drop of alcohol, and what they say when their brains are sober is naturally measured. But you see that at the meeting after dinner, everyone was drunk for six or seven minutes, and how did you let them suppress that little thing in their hearts? ”
