"Do you say yes?" The sister-in-law's tone became more and more harsh.

Zhang Xuebing took the last bite of rice into his mouth, stood up immediately, and said solemnly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself from now on, what, I'll go to Lao Xiucai's side and ask, what are they looking for me!"

Hearing him say yes, Su Wan'er's face looked better, and she instructed, "Then you go early and come back early, what should you do with these two puppies?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Xuebing to answer, the little girl ran out of the room, hugged the two puppies, and went into the room again, never looking at Zhang Xuebing again.

With his sister-in-law present, Zhang Xuebing couldn't say anything, so he turned around and took out the wall clock and put it on the string, adjusted the time, asked his sister-in-law to help, and hung it on the earthen wall.

At that moment, the wall clock suddenly opened a small door, and a cuckoo with plumeful plumage came out, and the cuckoo cuckoo cried, and the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock.

Zhang Xuebing's back disappeared into the gradually thick night, Su Wan'er looked outside the door, looked at her sister's room, and sighed deeply, not knowing whether to be relieved or worried.

In a vacant lot at the back of the village, there are five or six earthen embryo houses covered in the empty fence wall, which is the only primary school in several surrounding natural villages, one of which is Lao Xiucai's bedroom and study, and the others are school classrooms.

Zhang Xuebing spent his elementary school years here, and he is very familiar with it, and along the way he is wondering why so many people are coming to his house today, is it for money?

So he also brought those labor fees and settled the accounts for the villagers by the way.

As soon as I walked outside the fence, I saw that the playground of the school was overcrowded, and dozens of people were whining under the light of pine torches, as if they were those villagers who had just come to the house, it was dark this day, what were they going to do together?

"Little soldier, it's a little soldier coming, come here, the big guy is talking about you!"

"We went to your house just now, and your sister-in-law said that you went to visit relatives......

When everyone saw Zhang Xuebing appearing, they greeted him warmly.

Zhang Xuebing also nodded his head for a while, walked through the crowd to Lao Xiucai, and said respectfully.

"Old principal, I brought the money and settled the bill to the villagers immediately!"

Lao Xiucai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, "It's not about money, I'm going to your house today to choose a team leader!" ”

Listening to Lao Xiucai's eloquent words, Zhang Xuebing knew their purpose this time.

Zhangjia Village and the surrounding three natural villages, due to poverty and few people, were grouped into a production group, and the leader of the group was Zhang Yongzhong, who had committed suicide after being arrested.

Now these four villages, with hundreds of people, are facing the point of being leaderless.

Although the presence of the production team leader is extremely low, without the village head, many things that are uploaded and distributed, even including the annual relief grain, are stuck.

Therefore, it is imperative to choose a team leader from the four villages.

What does it have to do with me to elect a team leader, is it possible that I still have a vote? Zhang Xuebing wondered in his heart.

"I said, I firmly support the decision of most of the villagers in our village, whoever you want to vote, I will vote then, there is no need to go to my house, I thought I came to collect debts again, so I took all the money!"

The villagers who were bewitched by Zhang Erdou to collect debts last time heard this, and they immediately blushed with shame and bowed their heads silently.

The cheeky couldn't help but say, "Little soldier, don't mention it, it's not right, you don't remember the villain, don't accept my family's mountain goods!" ”

"That's right, it's all Zhang Erdou's bastard, I asked you to go, my aunt will compensate you!"

Since the last turmoil, almost every family in the four natural villages has participated in Zhang Xuebing's mountain goods trade.

Usually pick some wild vegetables and wild mushrooms by the way, and the chickens at home can exchange their eggs for banknotes, and the less can make three or five yuan a day, and the good ones can earn ten yuan a day.

You have to know how much the daily wage of the workers in the city is now equivalent to, and can they have ten yuan and eight yuan a day?

So they feel that this is a great thing, if there is no such way of wealth, where can they get so much money in a day?

It can be said that Zhang Xuebing is now their big benefactor, so no one dares to offend, and even Zhang Xuebing's words now are more effective than the previous village chief.

Zhang Xuebing is not a cautious person, he just made a joke and casually chatted with familiar villagers.

He was careful and found that it was not only the people of Zhangjia Village who were present, but also the villagers of several other natural villages who came to participate, so this meeting must be very important.

Before coming, Zhang Xuebing took this opportunity to move the villagers and use Zhang Yongzhong's compensation to invest in building a factory.

Lao Xiucai was helped onto the table tennis table by two young people, coughed condescendingly, and pushed the frame of his glasses in a hallmark manner, and then said loudly in a hoarse voice.

"Today, the people who can represent the villages are here, just discussed for a long time, everyone has their own ideas, according to me, the position of the production team leader does not need to be highly respected, as long as this person has the ability, can really be the master of the big guys, with the four village folks to make a fortune, is the best candidate!"

As soon as his voice landed, a man shouted loudly, "Yes, everything else is fake, let the big guy fill his stomach, the children have books, this is the right thing!" ”

"yes, don't choose a bastard like Zhang Yongzhong!"

"Actually, I said ......"

Suddenly, the villagers were chatting endlessly, swarming like bees, and the noise made people's heads hurt.

Zhang Xuebing also had a big head when he heard it, and he just looked forward to putting forward the candidate as soon as possible, and it would end early after voting.

Lao Xiucai waved his arms for a long time before everyone quieted down, "Since the big guy has the most proposed candidates just now, then let's have a live vote, settle down and live with peace of mind!" ”

In the applause of everyone, Lao Xiucai asked people to take out a big bowl and put it on the table.

Then the big guy each divided a mung bean and a red bean, and if he agreed, he put the red beans into the bowl, and if he didn't agree, he voted for mung beans, and finally decided whether to pass or not.

After everyone received the beans, some people couldn't wait to throw them into the bowl, some were still looking around as if they had ideas, and some small groups gathered together and muttered in a few words.

Zhang Xuebing also received beans, he came the latest, and he didn't hear anyone propose to choose anyone, it doesn't matter who is the team leader for him, as long as it doesn't affect his plan.

At present, it seems that whoever becomes the leader of the group will focus on the economic development of the villages, and will not run counter to their own goals.

So Zhang Xuebing also threw red beans early, and then stayed behind the crowd and waited for the results.

It didn't take long for everyone to cast their decision.

Lao Xiucai and several village leaders, in front of the big guys, carefully counted the beans.

After a long time, the result finally came out, looking at the pile of red beans on the table, Lao Xiucai's expression was obviously a little excited, and after being helped onto the table, he was a little trembling.

He cleared his throat and shouted loudly, "Thirty-five mung beans, two hundred and eighty-two red beans, I declare that more than half of the red beans are proposed!" ”

The crowd immediately erupted in bursts of enthusiastic cheers, and the children even lit firecrackers that they were reluctant to set off during the New Year, and the crackling sound shook the night sky.

Zhang Xuebing frowned, thinking to himself, who was chosen as the team leader?

He turned his head and pulled an uncle from his own family who was applauding desperately next to him, "Who did you choose?" ”

When the uncle saw that it was Zhang Xuebing, he immediately said with a smile on his face, "Xiaobing, what are you asking, it's too noisy here!" ”

Zhang Xuebing yelled, "I asked who I chosen!" ”

The uncle looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, and it took him a long time to say four words.
