After the happy event of the three families of Daqinzhuang, Qin Shengli, Liu Mingyuan, and Wu Wei got the advice of the commune leaders, and they could only implement it, but could not change it at will, and they still understood the organizational discipline of the subordinates to obey the superiors. They came to Daqinzhuang together, summoned all the people to attend the meeting, and announced the commune's decision: Qin Zhongliang, the captain of the Daqinzhuang production team, privately distributed part of the wheat to the members of the commune after the noon harvest, concealed the output, and affected the production team, brigade, and commune could not accurately report the output, and the impact was extremely bad. promote production". Below are the inscriptions and seals of the two committees of the Commune, as well as the date, year, month, and day.

After listening to the commune's decision on Qin Zhongliang's treatment, the members attending the meeting did not speak, and the venue was so quiet that they could hear a needle falling on the ground, but people's expressions changed a lot, from enthusiastic speculation that did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse to a regret that fell to the freezing point. Of course, this change in expression and psychology does not represent all those who attend the meeting, and there are also people who change from the latter state to the former, but there are few, just a few.

After reading out the decision of the commune, Qin Shengli, the new secretary of the brigade, began to proceed and said: "I am also a person who grew up in the black land of Daqinzhuang, and I am also a person from Daqinzhuang who grew up eating coarse grains and fine noodles. However, he must have made the mistake that his superiors could not allow, and privately divided and concealed the output, so that the brigade and the commune could not report the output accurately and without any more or less, which caused a bad impact, so please consider carefully, elect a new captain, and lead everyone to a richer and better tomorrow. ”

"Now everyone is given a blank piece of paper, everyone who has reached the age of eighteen is counted as a citizen of the People's Republic of China, and they all have the right to vote and to be elected, and each person writes the name of a person on the paper, that is, the name of the new captain of Daqinzhuang that you want to elect. Of course, the number of votes for the new captain must exceed 50 percent of the voters attending the meeting. If there are not enough votes, the next round of voting will be held. Liu Mingyuan, deputy secretary of the brigade, asked the age of the members attending the meeting, and said with the election ballot, "You can only write the name of the person you want to vote for, and the vote with two or more names will be counted as invalid, and abstention and non-voting are also allowed." Liu Mingyuan emphasized.

The people in the room were indifferent, no one wrote their names on the ballot papers, did not speak, just sat silently and looked at each other. After a long time, Xiong Meng and his family wrote the votes and put them into the ballot box. Qin Zhongliang also cast a vote.

"Consideration is allowed, but it cannot be postponed indefinitely. Write the name of the person you want to vote on the ballot paper and put it in the ballot box, otherwise it will be treated as invalid. Wu Wei, the commander of the militia battalion, said to the following.

A few more put their names in the ballot box.

"Go on." Secretary Qin Shengli urged.

In front of the ballot box, several more people put in their ballots.

"Go on."

There was no one standing in front of the ballot box, and no one below was writing their names on the ballot papers.

Deputy Secretary Liu Mingyuan looked at the militia battalion commander Wu Wei, Wu Wei looked at Liu Mingyuan, and then at the secretary Qin Shengli, and said: "Secretary Qin, everyone is thinking about it, we can't be sure who will be the captain now, or open the ballot box, see what everyone expects, let everyone know in their hearts, and then the election will be held tomorrow!" ”

Secretary Qin saw that it was getting late, and everyone was hesitant, and it was difficult to have a result today, so he said: "Okay, open the ballot box and count it, who do you want to vote for, and when you choose it again tomorrow, you will know in your heart, so that you can't have more than half of the votes and my two votes." ”

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. The tellers and scrutineers were elected to the front desk by everyone, and the results were as follows: Qin Zhongliang 18 votes, Bao Lian 4 votes, Xiong Meng 2 votes, and Da Niu 1 vote.

"The meeting was adjourned. Today's election is for reference only, not the final decision, please go back and think carefully, and cast your sacred vote tomorrow to elect someone you trust as the captain. Qin Shengli announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Everyone went home and thought about who they would choose tomorrow.
