Chapter 219: Sang Haibin, the new village party secretary
"Leaders, fellow villagers, good morning." The first thing Sang Haibin said when he straightened up was to say hello to everyone present. His words are sincere, and his voice is unadorned, giving people a rustic feeling. "I don't have the same level of education as Baowen Heping's daughter-in-law. Whoever gives me a manuscript, I can't read it. I don't know how to say pretty things, I want to leave here and talk to everyone. You can raise your eyes and look everywhere, the people sitting next to you are either old or young, either young daughters-in-law or three aunts and six mothers-in-law, how many young and strong young men are there?
There are a lot of young and strong people in our village, but where are they going? They all went out to work and looked for work. Why did they get out? Because we're too poor here. In order to subsidize the family, children drop out of school early to find work in society, and then come back to get married and have babies when they are old. After getting married, I took my daughter-in-law and children out to work. So up to now, no one in our village has provided a single college student. The only college student was married from outside.
I want to change, I want to change all that. I think the children in my village can afford to go to school, and I want them to go to university in the future. I think the boys who are out there will be able to come back and be with their families. I know that's starting to change. If you want to say when it started to change, I think it should be after returning from Ping's army-
He started his own business, built a brick factory, married a daughter-in-law from the city, and built a house. I think it's a man who envies him. Now his business is getting better and better, you see that the people in our village who came back to harvest wheat this year know that the treatment in the factory is good, and many of them go to him to find work, and they are not willing to go out again. However, there are still many people who feel that there is no future and no future for the development of the countryside.
I think these people's attitudes need to change. If we want to change them, we have to start with ourselves. Folks, we have to change, change our outdated ideas and traditional concepts, build up our hometown, let people who go out come back to see our changes and then stay and change with us, so that people outside want to develop here after seeing the earth-shaking changes we have here!
Our roads must be built, our bridges must be erected, we must bring in talents, and those who want to come back are reluctant to leave the beautiful countryside. I know there's not much I can do. All I can do is work in the field. But in the future, I hope that my sweat can be used to build roads, bridges, and other projects to build my hometown. Regardless of whether I can become the village party secretary of this term, I will do my part to build my hometown. β
Sang Haibin's heartfelt speech moved many people.
Almost all of the older generation in the audience were red-eyed.
Song Zhiwei was touched in his heart, his eyes moistened when he heard it, and he stood up and applauded Sang Haibin: "Good! Well said! β
The audience applauded enthusiastically.
Seeing that Sang Haibin received so much applause and cheers, Sang Baowen's face was naturally not very good. The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.
After the applause subsided, Sang Baowen asked Sang Haibin in public: "Haibin, who taught you these words?" β
Sang Haibin said truthfully: "No one taught me. β
Sang Baowen still wanted to continue to challenge him, and Song Zhiwei on the stage spoke.
"Now that the two candidates have finished speaking, in order to save resources and everyone's time, let's vote by a show of hands, and those who support Sang Baowen as the next village party secretary should raise their handsββ"
Sang Xiaoguang didn't think about it, and was the first to raise his hand to support Sang Baowen.
There was silence in the audience.
Sang Xiaoguang felt unusual, raised his eyes and looked around, and found that there were very few people who supported Sang Baowen, and there were a few second-rate people who usually had a good relationship with Sang Baowen.
Their hands raised high in the air were like jokes in the eyes of most people.
Sang Xiaoguang was extremely uncomfortable, so he retracted his hand in a daze. Facing Sang Baowen's aggressive gaze, he stubbornly raised his hand without raising it.
Seeing that he didn't get much support, Sang Baowen couldn't help but move Sang Caishan out: "Fellow villagers, when Secretary Cai was in office, I always followed him, and I am familiar with the work of the village party secretary. For things like building my hometown, I also lead everyone to do it together. β
However, his second speech did not change the minds of those who did not raise their hands.
On the seat, Song Zhiwei turned his head to Yu Sheng and said, "Girl, count the votes." β
Yu Sheng made a record of how many people actually arrived at this village meeting.
In less than half a minute, she counted Sang Baowen's votes.
12 votes. Barely in double digits.
Then, Song Zhiwei said: "Those who support Sang Haibin as the next village party secretary, please raise your hand." β
The audience held up a large piece of hulala.
You don't need to count, you know that there are more votes than Sang Baowen.
The results of this election are already clear.
Yu Sheng hurriedly made statistics.
Sang Haibin received support from more than 80 people.
There's a lot more to be neutral in the audience.
Song Zhiwei applauded again and invited the new village party secretary to take a seat, "Congratulations to our new village party secretary Sang Haibin." Speech from the stage. β
Sang Haibin shyly sat with the leaders, "Say everything I want to say, let's see my performance in the next three years." β
The audience burst into applause and laughter.
"I'm not convinced!" Sang Baowen protested loudly, ruining the atmosphere of the scene, "Isn't it a joke to call an illiterate person who can't read a few big characters to be a village official!" β
"If you can't afford to lose, don't run for election." Sang Ping sneered, "It's sad that you don't know where you lost when you lose." Brother Haibin's cultural level is not as high as yours, but what he says is based on the interests of the people. The tirades you said were all said to the leaders from your own standpoint, which sentence was for the people's consideration? I still graduated from high school, and you don't know who this village party secretary is going to show and still come to participate in the election, it's ridiculous! β
Sang Baowen was annoyed. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.
No one cared about his emotions at this moment.
"Ping!" Sang Haibin stood up and shouted, "Hurry up and bring the money over and divide it among those families." β
Sang Ping went over with the money and muttered with a smile: "The new official takes office, three fires." Before he could sit in this position, the first fire began to burn. β
Sang Haibin asked Song Zhiwei for instructions: "Leader, how can you divide this money?" β
"It's up to you." In this matter, Song Zhiwei intends to stay out of it.
Yu Sheng made a start, "Whoever has land on the other side of the embankment, ask them to go back and get the land certificate and come here to go through the procedures for receiving the money." β
The Qin family, who had already come up, heard this and pushed Wei Dong: "Hurry up, go back and get the book!" β
Wei Dong complained, "I don't know where you put your notebook." I'll take my place, you go back and get it. β
Qin ran home in a hurry.
