Chapter 1269 - One Vote Wins
Wang Youcai and their old Wang family suddenly appeared at the election site, which was indeed a bit unexpected.
The election scene of hundreds of people suddenly got a little out of control, but fortunately, everyone just talked enthusiastically about the candidates this time, and no one came out to make trouble. This made Ma Xiaofeng's tense nerves relax a little, she really didn't expect such a situation.
Secretary Wang, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Ma Xiaofeng, lowered his voice and said, "Let's bring the original village chief Zhao Hong up!" She has no function and also suffers. Anyway, it's up and down for the villagers to vote on."
Ma Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and then said to the teller: "Write Zhao Hong too, and everyone will vote for it" When Zhao Hong's name was written on the blackboard, the villagers applauded again. It can be seen that everyone still likes this female village chief.
The voting began, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The originally noisy venue suddenly became a lot quieter. The counting and counting of votes proceeded in an orderly manner.
Of the three people nominated by Ma Xiaofeng, some people voted for more than ten votes at the beginning. But later, not even a ticket came out. However, Xia Jian and Zhao Hong's votes have always been far ahead.
Seeing that there were not many votes in the hands of the teller, Wang Youcai's votes suddenly soared, and finally it was the same as Zhao Hong's votes. However, he is still more than 20 votes short of Xia Jian, which is what the people want.
Looking at the results of the votes on the blackboard, Ma Xiaofeng was embarrassed. She whispered to Secretary Wang: "Judging from the number of votes, Xia Jian was elected as the village chief this time, and those who have lower votes than him can be the deputy village head, but Zhao Hong and Wang Youcai have the same high number of votes, so you can't choose two deputy village heads!" ”
"Humph! Wang Youcai can't be the deputy village head, so let's choose again! Secretary Wang said very resolutely.
Unexpectedly, his words were heard by Chen Gui, who was standing behind him, and as soon as this kid entered the village committee, he secretly squeezed around these leaders and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on them.
When Secretary Wang finished saying this, Chen Gui glanced at Wang Youcai, who was standing in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Zhao Hong and Wang Youcai have the same number of votes, let the two of them jointly serve as the deputy head of Xiping Village, there is no need to re-elect."
As soon as Chen Gui spoke, the individuals who followed Wang Youcai shouted, and there was chaos on the field for a while.
"Slow! Don't decide the result, I am also from Xiping Village, and I haven't voted yet" With a woman's nice voice, Song Fang squeezed over from the gate of the village committee.
When Xia Jian saw her, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Why did she appear at this time, could it be that she came to help Wang Youcai?
"Who are you? How did you come? Ma Xiaofeng looked at Song Fang and asked a little puzzled. Because judging from the temperament of the dress and the accent, this woman should not be from Nishimuraping.
Song Fang glanced at Ma Xiaofeng, and said a little arrogantly: "My name is Song Fang, I originally married into Xiping Village, and now I am divorced, but my hukou is still here." So in this election, I have the right to cast my vote."
"Good! Please think carefully, your vote is very important," Secretary Wang said with a slight smile.
Song Fang didn't speak again, but took a ballot paper from Ma Xiaofeng's hand, took out a pen and wrote a few words, and then handed it to the teller with her own hands.
"Zhao Hong's one vote," the teller raised his voice and shouted loudly.
The audience boiled over, because of Song Fang's crucial vote. Zhao Hong was elected deputy head of Xiping Village.
This result is actually what the people of Xiping Village want, although some people voted for Wang Youcai when they voted just now, it was because of the influence of external factors. Zhao Hong was elected, and these people also cheered together.
Wang Youcai never expected that when he was about to become the deputy head of Xiping Village, this Song Fang did appear like a ghost. Her vote made Wang Youcai almost scold his mother on the spot.
Chen Gui and Wang Lao, who were engaged in activities for him in advance, saw that Wang Youcai had lost the election, so the two of them ran away in advance, because the two of them did not handle this matter well.
Ma Xiaofeng announced the election results in public a little helplessly, and Secretary Wang's old face also had a smile, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with this election.
At the request of many villagers, Xia Jian made a brief speech on the spot, and in front of the villagers and the leaders of the town government, Xia Jian formed a leadership team of the village committee.
Chen Erniu, Xia Sanhu, and Mo Yan, who he nominated, were unanimously approved by the villagers by raising their hands. Zhao Hong mentioned a few more newcomers, Qiao Dongping, Ma Yan, and Zhu Chunli. These three people are all college students, and they all have some social experience, so when Zhao Hong proposed it, everyone passed it unanimously.
By the time it was all over, it was already dark. The street lights in the village are also on, but the villagers are still very happy. Although a small number of people are gone, most of them are still there. This is something that has not been the case in previous meetings.
After the meeting was dismissed, Ma Xiaofeng's face was gloomy, and without saying a word, she took the other two young people and went to Santana, which was parked in the courtyard of the village committee.
However, Secretary Wang, who has always been estranged from Xia Jian, took Xia Jian's hand and said: "Xiping Village will be handed over to you, I believe you definitely have the ability to develop Xiping Village into a provincial-level model village."
"Thank you, Secretary Wang, but I found that this Mayor Ma doesn't seem to be happy with me being the village head of Xiping Village?" Xia Jian asked with a smile.
Secretary Wang snorted coldly and said, "You, the village head, were voted for by the people of Xiping Village, so what does she have to disagree with." The key is to get results. Don't worry, I'll retire in two years, but if I'm still in Xiping Village, I will definitely support your work."
Secretary Wang's words made Xia Jian a little surprised and moved. This old man is over fifty years old, and his previous actions made Xia Jian extremely disgusted, but he didn't expect him to change so much. Could it be that I misjudged him? Xia Jian was really a little confused.
"Secretary Wang! Do you want to go back to town? If you don't go, we'll go first," Ma Xiaofeng stuck his head out of the car window and shouted loudly at Secretary Wang. She obviously saw Secretary Wang talking to Xia Jian, and she was upset.
Secretary Wang waved his hand at Xia Jian, and walked quickly towards Santana parked in the courtyard.
Back at home, Xia Zecheng and Sun Yuejuan looked puzzled. They don't understand very much, isn't Xia Jian the general manager of the entrepreneurial group? Why did you suddenly become the village chief of Xiping Village again?
"What's going on? You don't discuss such a big matter with your family, just say you can't do it? You're too sloppy, aren't you? Sun Yuejuan looked at Xia Jian and couldn't help but say angrily.
Xia Jian let out a long breath and said, "Mom! I'm just a migrant worker, working for others is like this, and it's a matter of one sentence if people don't want you."
"Don't you have a stake in the group?" Xia Zecheng asked coldly.
Xia Jian let out a long breath and said, "Mr. Xiao did give me shares, but his daughter Xiao Xiao suddenly came back. I can't stay in the group, so what do I need shares? ”
"What? Isn't Xiao Xiao already dead? What the hell is going on? Sun Yuejuan's face was surprised, she didn't understand the truth more and more.
Xia Jian sighed and said, "This is a long word, so don't mention it." As long as you know that Xiao Xiao has returned to the group, I am not a member of the entrepreneurial group now."
"You came out like this? Is there no compensation at all? Xia Zecheng asked with a look of pity.
Xia Jian glanced at Zhao Hong, who was standing behind him, and whispered to Xia Zecheng: "Give a million"
"Ahh A million! It's okay, if you don't do it, you won't do it, with so much money, why can't you do it? As soon as Xia Zecheng heard that he had made up one million to Xia Jian, he was not angry at once, in his opinion, this money was indeed a lot. But how did he know which shares Lao Xiao gave to Xia Jian, and he didn't know how many million they were worth.
Sun Yuejuan let out a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Hong: "This kid will be handed over to you, it is better to offend people less than to do work in the village than to do things in the group."
"Oh, I know, Mom! I'm hungry, don't go cook yet," Xia Jian said, pushing Sun Yuejuan into the kitchen. Zhao Hong smiled and followed in from behind.
After dinner, Xia Jian and Zhao Hong went to the village committee together. Zhao Hong gave Xia Jian a detailed report on the current situation in Xicunping. Xia Jian didn't want to say anything, and kept listening.
The two of them were busy until more than eleven o'clock at night, and under the supervision of Zhao Hong, Xia Jian left the village committee. The two went to Zhao Hong's house together.
Because Zhao Hong's mother-in-law and father-in-law went to SX's nephew, they left a large courtyard to Zhao Hong. Therefore, Xia Jian didn't need to climb over the wall again, but followed Zhao Hong into the main entrance in a big way.
As soon as he entered the door of Zhao Hong's bedroom, Xia Jian hugged Zhao Hong from behind. Zhao Hong gasped and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you let me wash, I was covered in the crowd this afternoon, and my whole body was sweating."
"Why don't we get married! It's not a matter to be sneaky like this," Xia Jian let go of the hand holding Zhao Hong and said softly to her.
Zhao Hong shook his head and said, "I said it, as long as you don't forget me in this life, it doesn't matter if you get married or not." On the contrary, I think it's good that everyone has space and freedom. Especially for people like you."
After Zhao Hong finished speaking, she took the basin and towel and walked out of the door. Xia Jian fell on the big kang, only feeling weak, it seems that this is much more tiring than being the boss of the group.
When Zhao Hong returned to the house after washing, Xia Jian had already fallen on the big kang and snorted beautifully, and this woman couldn't bear to alarm him when she saw Xia Jian sleeping soundly. So he gently covered him with a blanket and turned off the light.
This sleep lasted until dawn, and when Xia Jian woke up, he found that he was sleeping in Zhao Hong's house with his clothes, and there was no shadow of Zhao Hong around him. Xia Jian stretched his waist and turned over.
The door was hidden, and Xia Jian gently pushed it open and looked out. I saw Zhao Hong sitting on a chair in the courtyard, reading a book, and her expression was focused. Xia Jiandu walked to her side, and Zhao Hong didn't notice it.
"Yo! Have you started to learn? Xia Jian asked softly. Zhao Hong was startled, and raised his hand to hit Xia Jian.
