On the first weekend of July, the farewell town becomes even more lively than the town day.

A day earlier, a tall lectern had been erected, surrounded by flowers, and until the weekend there were people arranging flowers on it, and it was Daddy Hickson, who had also brought them from his garden.

A classy middle-aged man prepares a speech on stage, the advisor to Dick Kaufman, Michelle and Gordon at Grant Elementary School and the moderator in the mayoral election.

One of the more important things about the town elections in St. John's is this host, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, the previous host was Dick's father, Kaufman Sr., and later passed to him when he graduated from college.

In addition, Hughes Jr. and his buddies were busy adjusting the speakers, so that the electronic beep sounded on the street from time to time.

Flags were displayed on both sides of the street, including the flag of Canada, the provincial flag of Newfoundland, the flag of Farewell Town, and some posters with the heads of the five candidates.

On several major streets, leaflets were being handed out about the five mayoral candidates and their themes, and the most prominent one was undoubtedly Winnie.

Newfoundland's political circles are the most unique in Canada, they don't know what they're up to, a lot of things like the United Kingdom, because they were British dependencies before World War II, but a lot of places like Canada, because they came back to Canada after World War II......

The high-level political circles are chaotic, and the low-level political circles at the town level are naturally not much better, and all kinds of farces of small town elections emerge one after another, such as dogs being elected mayors, cats being elected mayors, and even worse, dead people being elected mayors......

But the farewell town is the big town. The mayor election is a big deal, and the townspeople know very well that the direction of the town needs the guidance of a good mayor, and they are very serious in this regard, and will choose a person they think is the most suitable person to be the mayor.

So, although this time one of the five candidates is a dog. But everyone understands that this is just to liven up the atmosphere, and no one will really vote for this dog.

Yes, one of the candidates for this farewell town election is a dog, and Qin Shiou only learned about it until now, little Hughes, this bastard, I don't know where to get a pitbull known as the king of fighting dogs a few days ago, it looks very fierce, and then used it to sign up for the town mayor election.

"What the hell," Qin Shiou beckoned Shaq. "What's going on with that dog in little Hughes? , what a serious activity, just let him do it! Go, take the tiger and the leopard to get it, and then Winnie will have one less competitor! ”

Shaq pointed to the grinning dog on the image and said, "BOSS, this is a bit, it's very powerful, the tiger and the leopard are estimated to suffer." ”

"Then bring the bear again!"

"You can't kill it, it's a son of a bitch!"

The five candidates this time are acting mayor Hani Rambo. He was automatically eligible, and three of the four had applied to St. John's City on their own. The other was arranged by the city government.

One of the clerks designated by the city government is a customs clerk, who came to make soy sauce, which is Hamley's help to Qin Shiou, and he arranged such a soy sauce product against public opinion to reduce the pressure on Winnie's campaign.

The town's three candidates are Winnie, fisherman and innkeeper Elton Burt and Little Hughes's Pitbull.

It can be seen from the lineup of candidates that Winnie's election is well anticipated. Everyone is helping her, her competitors are very poor, her campaign is the most arranged, her guest is the strongest, if she can't be elected mayor, it would be hell!

Recently, Winnie has even become a regular guest on TV and the media, and the St. John's Economic Journal has done a special interview with her. The headline: The most beautiful mayor in Newfoundland's history is about to wear the crown.

Like any election, the event was held over the weekend, with candidates giving speeches and meeting to answer questions from voters on Saturday, and at 12 a.m. on Saturday, in the early hours of Sunday, voters stayed up late to cast their votes and count their votes to elect the mayor overnight.

The speech event begins at one o'clock in the afternoon, and each candidate has half an hour to give a speech, and at four o'clock, the five candidates sit together to receive questions from voters and industry experts sent by the city.

In the morning, Winnie was discussing the content of the speech with Auerbach and Macaulay and finalizing the draft, Qin Shiou went to take a look, and saw that there was nothing to help him with, so he went out for a stroll.

The five candidates all have a room in the town hotel temporarily, and as soon as Qin Shiou came out, he ran into Little Hughes, who was holding a Pitbull in his hand, but it was not an adult dog, just a half-grown puppy, and it was not very fierce, grinning stupidly.

Qin Shiou pointed at it and asked, "What is this?" ”

Little Hughes threatened him: "Boy, you'd better be honest, it's called the butcher, it's our future mayor, and when it's elected, I'll let it eat you as a vegetable!" ”

"Why did you suddenly remember to raise bits?" Qin Shiou asked strangely, this kind of dog is very fierce, it is not allowed to be raised in the city, of course, it doesn't matter if the countryside is there, he also has brown bears and white wolves.

Hughes Jr. said, "What do you mean to suddenly remember? Remember skiing last year? It's the time you pulled the egg. ”

Qin Shiou said with a dark face: "You don't need to emphasize, I'll remember it, just talk about the theme." ”

"Didn't you let the tiger and the leopard bully me at that time? I secretly swore at that time that I would raise a more ferocious dog to avenge me in the future! Now, that day has finally arrived! Hughes Jr. said with a deliberate gritted tooth look.

Qin Shiou smiled and said contemptuously: "Man, this is not revenge, this is a food delivery, I will bring Xiong Da in the afternoon, it just didn't have breakfast today, you are such a dog, that is, it has a ration!" ”

The pitbull was stupid but also very sensitive, and when it sensed Qin Shiou's deep malice towards him, it opened its mouth and yelled at him twice.

Qin Shiou nodded his finger at Little Hughes and left, he was going back to bring the tigers and leopards.

After dinner in the afternoon, the townspeople came to the town to prepare for the quadrennial mayoral election.

The first of the five candidates' speeches was the little Hughes's pitbull named Butcher, although this little guy has the fierce temperament of the fighting dog family, but it is estimated that he has never seen such a formation, and is stared at by thousands of people in the audience......

So, as soon as Hughes Jr. let go of the stage, he ran off the stage with his tail between his legs. (To be continued......)
