Chapter 32 Village General Election
Today is the day of the election of Gujia Village, and the ancestral house compound of the village, which has been closed for many years, is also open today, full of guests, and extremely popular.
Several 'old ancestors' of high generation in the village opened the gate with keys early yesterday morning, and called some big girls and little daughters-in-law to clean the ancestral house inside and out, wash and scrub, and brush away any part of the ancestral house, so as to clean the ancestral house that had been dusted for a whole year.
The ancestral house, where the ancestors of Gujia Village lived, is now abandoned for most of the time, and only opens its doors at the annual village meeting.
As a 'special guest' of the village assembly today, Gu Jihai washed up early in the morning, and after a hasty breakfast, he went straight to the ancestral house.
The adults have already gone, setting the table, setting up the incense hall, cutting red paper, etc., and they are busy preparing early in the morning, but Gu Jihai is the only one who is slow.
On the way to the ancestral house, Gu Jihai saw a lot of cars parked outside Jin'er Village, several of which were also labeled with special logos of government functional departments, and couldn't help sneering in his heart: Okay, it's the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods who are all back today, is this going to pull the cowhide to make a big flag?
Such a scene, Gu Jihai, who has the memory of two lifetimes, is commonplace, and there is no need to guess at all, this is what some people who are relatively villager, who mix a little like a dog outside, come back to take advantage of their own people.
"Hmph, there are a lot of vehicles from the five families. Looks like the lion is going to open his mouth. I'm not afraid to knock my teeth. ”
There are also people who have achieved a little bit outside, but those people are generally like a kite with a broken string, they are not allowed to come back easily, and they do not participate in the work of seeking collective benefits for the four families. This can't blame anyone, who told the four families to be unified, each doing its own thing, and there is no centripetal force. Since there is no friendship, how can the birds that fly out of the middle of the river think of birds of the same age?
There's no way around it. Everyone has their own life.
Turning the corner, turning the corner, Gu Jihai came to the gate of the ancestral house, stepped in, and there was a patio-style courtyard with vertical and horizontal moss and bluestone slabs, which was very bright.
Behind the courtyard is the main hall, which is 90 centimeters higher than the courtyard, with side doors on both sides of the main hall and two small living rooms, and two rows of side rooms perpendicular to the side doors of the two living rooms.
At this moment, a large group of big men are busy setting up tables and setting up incense altars to worship ancestors on the main hall that is relatively high and can stand out, red paper sealed ballot boxes, etc.
And in front of the main hall, there are some women who are busy setting up tables and stools in the courtyard, and the people above the main hall are the affairs of the big men, and they can't go up and mix blindly, before all the preparations and the start of ancestor worship. Of course, the small weight in the village, not enough to be able to go up to help, the men are also busy or idle in the courtyard, they can go up, but the key things can not be done, and going up is still in the way, delaying time, so they simply stay in the courtyard and do not mix with it.
Due to the relatively light tasks below, there are only a few who are busy after all, and most of the people's strength and spirit are idle, so as soon as Gu Jihai came in, many people saw it and greeted him.
Gu Jihai has something to do today, of course he can't behave like a child, jumping up and down to respond to other people's greetings, so he walked all the way with steady steps, smiled, kept signaling to the greeting person, walked through the courtyard, and walked straight towards the main hall.
Stepping into the main hall, due to the terrain difference, Gu Jihai, who was small and weak, had to use a little inside of his hands, and as a result, the light in front of him was dim.
When I looked closely, it turned out that there was a body in front of me that was as wide as the door panel, which belonged to Gu Jihai's old enemy, Gu Qiaosheng. Seeing that the other party was glaring angrily, eager to eat himself, Gu Jihai knew that the other party was looking for revenge.
"Good dogs don't get in the way!"
Gu Jihai was not frightened, gritted his teeth and used all his strength, and he actually pushed Gu Qiaosheng's huge body away and staggered.
Soon, someone discovered the conflict here and hurried over to stop it: "Qiaosheng, what are you doing?" Don't be presumptuous! ”
After pushing Gu Qiaosheng away, Gu Jihai swaggered forward, not looking at Gu Qiaosheng with his eyes, let alone paying attention to the other party's reaction.
Today is a big day, in front of the ancestors, Gu Jihai does not believe that Gu Qiaosheng has dog courage and dares to be presumptuous. Even if there were, all the people present, whether they were from the fourth or the fifth, would not allow him to be presumptuous.
Coming to the offering table where the incense altar was placed, Gu Jihai took out a complete incense stick from the side of the incense altar, lit it and inserted it into the incense altar, which was already very vigorous.
This is called human cloves, an adult man inserts one, children, daughters-in-law of the village, and girls to be married, inserts half of them, and the daughter who marries out of Lu cannot insert them.
Gu Jihai is going to insert one today, and he believes that no one will object.
Today is the village assembly, the big day of the village, the person who inserts half the incense can't be incense, and there is no preparation of half the incense, so soon the village assembly began, and everyone took their seats.
Among the people in the audience, they were adult men, and they had not been incense from beginning to end, and there were only two government workers sent by the township government to supervise the fair conduct of the general election, Gu Jihai looked at it twice, very unfamiliar.
In fact, in his previous life, he had not been able to attend the village meeting at all, and he did not know the two staff members in charge of supervision, which was normal.
"The sixth item of the General Assembly, voting in the election, is now open!" With a shout from the moderator of the meeting, the conference entered the most critical item.
Soon, people were casting their ballots in boxes wrapped in red paper.
"Now the seventh item of the conference, let's invite Mr. Gu Yulong to sing the vote!"
The master of ceremonies' words fell, and Gu Yulong, who was standing next to the main hall, walked up quickly and began to sing tickets.
On this side, the positions of the election include the village party secretary, the village secretary and the village women's director, and the four families participating in the election are only Gu Jihai's father, Gu Daoyuan, and the five families have Gu Neng, Gu Chun, and Gu Xiaosong.
From the many deeds of the five families, it is not difficult to see that they are very determined, and they are bound to brush out Gu Daoyuan, the representative of the four families, and take over all the village cadre posts alone.
And the number of votes is also very revealing, the vote-bearer has been singing the names of the five families and three people, but the votes for Gu Daoyuan, the representative of the four families, are pitiful.
This is all expected, in his memory, this election was carried out like this in the previous life, so Gu Jihai kept watching it coldly, until the end of the vote.
Gu Jihai didn't care about Gujia Village, so he didn't care what the result of this village cadre was, even his father was involved in the election.
However, something soon broke Gu Jihai's wishful thinking.
"Ding Dong!"
"Attention host, the new quest will be activated immediately."
"The new mission has been activated, this mission code 00003, the content of this mission: rewrite the election results, no matter the means! Time for an hour! ”
It's a universal contract for all evil! This electronic hole, occasionally interspersed with a sound of lack of beating, turned into ashes, and Gu Jihai could easily distinguish it.
