Chapter 224: Running for Village Chief
The summer classmates who came back first had already warmed up their beds. Xia felt in a daze that Zhang Feng should be back, and she squeezed into Zhang Feng's arms despite Zhang Feng's coldness. Zhang Feng was moved in his heart.
Cheng Yujia, who got up to open the door for Zhang Feng, said sourly: "Zhang Feng is eccentric!" Anyway, they are all sleeping with their arms, and they don't do anything else, whoever grabs it tomorrow night will be counted. ”
Zhang Feng fell asleep in a daze before listening to Cheng Yujia's words.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Feng slept until nearly ten o'clock in his arms and didn't get up, everyone in the Zhang family knew about last night, so no one bothered Zhang Feng.
In the summer, Zhang Feng kept the ancient rites, and Zhang Feng kept holding her, so she also slept with Zhang Feng until nearly ten o'clock.
"I know that Feng Lang is not a disciple, but husband and wife are human, and it is the way of heaven. Could it be that the slave family did something wrong, or Fenglang, why don't you love the slave family? In the summer, when he saw that Zhang Feng had enough spirits, he was still cautious and polite, and he didn't even touch her, so he asked aggrievedly.
"If you can't or don't want to go back to Great Xia in a year, and you still like me by then, will we love my hobbies again?" Zhang Feng spoke softly.
At nearly eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xianfa's wife Zhao Dongmei came to Zhang Feng's house with a small bag and said, "Zhang Shenxian, I've been here several times, and you finally got up." ”
Zhao Dongmei opened the small bag in her hand and handed it to Zhang Feng and said, "Immortal Zhang, my family's scalpers are worth eight or nine thousand yuan. Here's 10,000, you can order it. Fool, I didn't know at first, that day, you Zhang Shenxian took a cow's hair from my family, which means that you gave my family the current method, and the hexagram gold is the value of that cow. ”
Doctor Zhang Feng was startled and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I know that I told you that I don't know how to tell hexagrams, and you don't believe it, but that day I took your cow's hair, which is the hexagram gold of that time." You can take the money away. ”
"Zhang Shenxian, do you have to hurt one person in my family before you are willing to give up? Goddess Tian Sixiang said, you Zhang Feng is the reincarnation of Zhang Guo's old Zhang Immortal. My family has offended you before, and we won't dare to do it again in the future, right? ”
"Shizhishu, you can say something, our two families have only produced five branches. You can't ignore you, my brother and daughter-in-law! Zhao Dongmei turned her head to Zhang's father again.
"Yes, Zhang Feng Zhang Shenxian, Wang Jiaoxue will be my brother and daughter-in-law in the future. You can spare my family this time. "Zhang Huadao, who also came to Zhang Feng's house.
"Dongmei, I, Zhang Shifa, am a veteran party member with more than 30 years of party experience. I'll tell you again: my eldest son Zhang Feng really doesn't know how to tell hexagrams. If you have to give Feng'er money, I'll let him take it. Father Zhang said.
In the end, Zhang Feng took 1,000 on the grounds of 10 que, and the remaining 9,000 Zhang Feng asked Zhao Dongmei to donate to Zhangcun Primary School.
Zhao Dongmei repeatedly said that she would donate to the village primary school in the name of Zhang Feng. Then Zhao Dongmei left satisfied.
At nearly twelve o'clock, Chang Huiyong, Chang Yin'an, and Chang Huiguo came together. During the meal, Zhang Feng told Chang Huiyong, Chang Yin'an, and Chang Huiguo that he had opened two companies in Dongxing, and the three of them were welcome to come over to help.
In the afternoon, Zhang's father, who was already the secretary of Zhangcun and the village party committee, received a notice from the township that tomorrow the township would send someone to Zhangcun to preside over the election of the village director of Zhangcun, that is, the village head.
Because after Zhang Chunchang's accident, the township appointed Zhang's father as the village party secretary of Zhang Village. The position of the village chief was vacated. In principle, organizations generally do not allow one person to hold both the positions of village party secretary and village head.
Because of the spring drought, it is time to water the land after the New Year, so the position of the village chief cannot be empty for too long.
Secretary Yang and Township Chief Lin, who were at Zhang Feng's house and Tiegu Township on the fifth day of the first month, also said that the two of them still supported Zhang's father to serve as the village head of Zhang Village, but there are organizational principles, and the village head needs to be elected by the people.
Of course, Zhang's father has an indifferent attitude, not to mention that now that he is an eldest son, even before, Zhang's father did not regard his position as village chief as heavy.
You must know that in the 90s, village chiefs and village party secretaries across the country were not paid. It was not until the middle of the 21st century that village chiefs and village party secretaries across the country were paid.
In the north house of Zhang's house at night, Cheng Yujia took off herself early and left only her autumn clothes and pants and lay on Zhang Feng's bed. "Xiaoxue, you can arrange for tomorrow night, I will occupy it tonight. Cheng Yujia said to Wang Jiaoxue with a comfortable expression.
Wang Jiaoxue snorted coldly and went out. Zhang Feng had no choice but to sleep with Cheng Yujia in his arms. Just like Cheng Yujia said, he sleeps with his arms anyway, and doesn't do anything else. If Zhang Feng didn't go to bed, Cheng Yujia wouldn't be ashamed and angry.
There was nothing to say all night, and at half past nine in the morning of the seventh day of the next day, the red flag fluttered in the courtyard of the brigade in Zhang Village, and there was a sea of people. Nearly 3,000 villagers over the age of 18 who have the right to vote and to stand for election gathered to elect the village director, that is, the village head.
The two candidates for village chief nominated by the representatives of the villagers of Zhang Village are Zhang Shifa, the former village head, and Zhang Chunming, the eldest brother of Zhang Chunchang, the former party secretary of Zhang Village.
Needless to say, Zhang's father and Zhang Shifa are the former village chiefs of Zhang Village.
Zhang Chunming, the eldest brother of the former branch secretary Zhang Chunchang, opened a supermarket in the middle of the village in Zhang Village.
Zhang Chunming's department store and supermarket, the village people's life, production of the necessary materials, the supermarket has everything. But Zhang Chunming didn't make any money, because everyone was not rich at that time. Therefore, the villagers of Zhang Village often keep accounts first when they take things. First owed, that's it, today Zhang San owes three yuan, tomorrow Zhang Si owes five yuan on credit, and there are more and more people who owe money. Over the course of a year, the account books were turned over, with more than 200 transactions, nearly 2,500 yuan. Among them, the former village head Zhang Shifa alone has 15 transactions of 360 yuan. Of course, this is promoted by Zhang Chunming's wife.
The camera pulls back to Zhang Chunming's house at six o'clock in the evening of the sixth day of the first lunar month:
"Yuemei, this tomorrow will be the village head, in this way, you take our family's arrears, and tell them one by one, as long as you vote for me, the arrears will be written off. As for Zhang Shifa, there will be a good show for him to watch then. Zhang Chunming said with a smile.
At the election meeting and venue in the courtyard of the Zhangcun Brigade, the rostrum was full of leaders from the county and township to guide the election group, and Zhang's father and Zhang Chunming were also on the stage. The audience was black, and everyone stretched their necks as if they were looking at the bride and groom.
On this day, Zhang's father was dressed as usual, with a smiling face.
Zhang Chunming sat on the stage, and saw that he was wearing a straight suit and a bright red tie floating on his chest, which looked very special.
The first to start the speech was Zhang's father, who said plainly, saying that he had been the village chief for more than ten years, and he actually didn't want to worry about it. But since the villagers' representatives have nominated him as a candidate for village head, they will run for election again. The village chief is to serve everyone, and our village is poor, as long as we do practical things well, good things can be done.
Zhang Chunming was obviously fully prepared, and his speech was greeted with bursts of applause. Towards the end of the speech, he held up a ledger and shouted: "Leaders and villagers, if I become the village head, I will never eat, take, card, or ask." Please take a look, last year, Zhang Shifa took 15 things from my store by virtue of his village chief, worth 360 yuan, including towels, laundry detergent, soap, and even rice, oil and salt. When asked for money, he said he kept accounts. I don't approve of such a person who eats for nothing and takes for nothing to be the village head.
There was an uproar in the election arena.
At this time, a hunchbacked old man slowly turned out of the crowd under the stage, and he slowly walked to the rostrum, this man's leg was a little lame.
The old man said loudly as he walked: "Zhang Chunming, you bastard, I am your father." The things that the village chief of Shifa took last year were all I wanted, and I testified for the village chief of Shifa.
The village chief of Shifa is very good to people, so don't say that he is not. ”
"You are not the material of the village chief, just like your brother, he is not the material of the cadre branch secretary. The lame old man finally said. ”
Entering the voting link, there were 2,820 valid votes in Zhangcun Village, and Zhang's father received 2,600 votes. Zhang Chunming has 220 votes, and Qin Hui has two friends.
It is purely normal and understandable for Comrade Zhang Chunming to win 220 votes.
In the living room of Zhangjia South Courtyard:
"Lao Zhang, you are really the desire of the people! I have also presided over the election of village chiefs in many villages in our township. Lin Jianjun said to the head of the township.
According to the organizational principle, the candidate for the election of village chief must obtain two thirds of the valid votes. But the vast majority of the village chiefs in our township were elected by more than half of them. Because the election has not reached two-thirds of the valid votes even after many elections. Lin Jianjun continued.
"Although under normal circumstances, it is not allowed for one person to hold the two positions of village party secretary and village head, but you Lao Zhang is the village chief who is popular with the people, and you are a special situation." Lin Jianjun, the head of the township, finally said.
"Dad, what are you doing with that heart, Zhang Feng is also older, why are you so tired?" Wang Jiaoxue Road.
"You're Xiao Lin's cousin, Xiao Xue." I'm Xiao Lin's cousin-in-law. Lin Jianjun said to the head of the township
"Your dad was elected with such a high number of votes, which is the trust of the people in the village, which shows that they all trust his character. Mixed people, mixed people, this is a mixed people. Girl, don't say that you 'matchmaker' Zhang Feng is the dragon among people, with a character like your husband, your girl's luck is really good. Lin Jianjun said with a smile.
"Okay, Township Chief Lin, don't praise me, it's over, it's over. Serve first. Chat while eating. Father Zhang smiled.
"Let's go to Tiegu for dinner later, Vice Minister Xie of the Organization Department of the county party committee in charge of the construction of the rural cadre team needs to accompany him. Let's go to Lao Zhang in a while. Well, let's go with Xiao Feng. Since I've come to Zhangcun and can't pass through the door without entering, let's go to the brigade courtyard in a while. ”
"I'm not going, I've been drinking so hard these days that I don't want to drink. Or eat hard at home. Zhang Feng said busily.
"You are Second Lieutenant Zhang, I said Lao Lin, you are not interesting enough! When you come to Lao Zhang's house, why don't you call my brother? A man in his thirties with eyes laughed.
Zhang's father arranged for Zhang Feng to accompany the guests, and he and Lin Jianjun went to the courtyard of the brigade to hold a short meeting on drought fighting work for several village cadres in Zhang Village.
Two minutes later, Deputy Director Xie of the Organization Department of the Dongxing County Party Committee said with a smile: "I have already arranged for Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang and a group of them to go to Tiegu." I'll be at your brother's house at noon today. Second Lieutenant Zhang wouldn't be unwelcome, would he? ”
"Oh, by the way, Zhang Feng, you bastard, I'm Xie Zixin's second brother. Don't you want to say something? ”
"I just said that Vice Minister Xie is so energetic? It turned out that Vice Minister Xie would be the second brother of my good friend Zixin. What, Minister Xie, I'll have to toast you a few glasses in a while. Zhang Feng said flatteringly.
"Zhang Feng, if you can bear it, you can call me Minister Xie in front of Xiao Xin. I'll tell my sister Xiaoxin about it when I go back later. ”
"What's the matter, second brother, sit down, sister Zixin, I really can't afford to provoke my little brother, I hope that the second brother will be merciful." Zhang Feng said busily.
