"Well, you're right." Li Dazhuang nodded vigorously, his eyes also flashing with expectation and determination,

"For the sake of the villagers and our village, we will definitely do our best to make our dreams come true." As the night darkens, the village lights up like stars falling into the world.

Su Ye and Li Dazhuang sat in the small courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, their hearts full of longing and determination for the future.

They know that there is still a long way to go for rural revitalization, and challenges remain, but as long as they work hand in hand, nothing can stop them from moving forward.

"Su Ye, what do you say, what will our village become in the future?" Li Dazhuang held Su Ye's hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

Su Ye turned his head to look at him, his eyes flashing with incomparable firmness: "Da Zhuang, as long as we don't forget our original intention and persist in reform, our village will definitely become more beautiful and rich, and the life of the villagers will become better and better." And all this is inseparable from everyone's efforts and dedication. Therefore, no matter what challenges we face in the future, we must work together to create a bright future that belongs to us. "After a difficult struggle with a real estate company and the success of protecting the homeland, the village has gradually entered a stable and orderly development track under the leadership of Su Ye and Li Dazhuang.

However, at this moment, a heavy news came to the hearts of the whole village - the old village chief died of illness.

The old village chief is the spiritual pillar of the village, and his death is like a majestic mountain collapsing, and the villagers are immersed in endless mourning.

The mourning hall is located at the edge of the golden wheat field that the old village chief loved during his lifetime, and the villagers dressed in plain clothes come in an endless stream to worship and remember this old man who has dedicated his life to the village.

"Old village chief, you can rest assured, we will be like you, protect this land and make the village better." Su Ye stood in front of the mourning hall, tears streaming down, and she whispered a promise to the portrait of the old village chief.

"Yes, old village chief, we will always remember your spirit." Li Dazhuang clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with determination.

He knows very well that the sadness at this moment cannot change the reality, and only by turning grief into strength can he truly comfort the spirit of the old village chief in heaven.

The death of the old village chief not only caused the villagers to lose a loved one, but also made the village face a new challenge - to elect a new village chief.

According to village rules, the new village chief must be voted on by all villagers, and the candidate must have leadership, credibility, and a clear plan for the future development of the village.

At this time, the villagers naturally set their sights on Su Ye and Li Dazhuang. The two of them have shown outstanding leadership and selfless dedication in many previous events, and have long since become ideal candidates for the villagers.

"Su Ye, you were cultivated by the old village chief, and you are the most familiar with the situation in the village, I think you are the most suitable." Lao Zhangtou found Su Ye and sincerely suggested.

"Uncle Zhang, you have a good reputation." Su Ye smiled slightly, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes,

"I can do a good job in the village committee, but when I become the village head, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it."

"Su Ye, don't forget the old village chief's instructions to you before he died." Li Dazhuang walked over and patted Su Ye on the shoulder,

"He said that you are the person he trusts the most and the most suitable person to lead the village into the future." Su Ye looked at Li Dazhuang, and remembered the old village chief's expectant gaze before he died, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.

She understands that becoming a village chief means greater responsibility and pressure, but it is also a legacy of the old village chief's legacy.

"Da Zhuang, if I run for village chief, are you willing to support me?" Su Ye asked softly.

"Su Ye, you don't need to ask me, I will always stand by your side." Li Dazhuang replied without hesitation, his eyes flashing with endless trust and encouragement.

With the expectations of the villagers and the support of Li Dazhuang, Su Ye decided to run for the new village head. She carefully prepared her campaign speech, elaborating on her governance philosophy and development plan, emphasizing that green agriculture and rural tourism will be the pillars to promote the diversified development of the village economy, while protecting the interests of the villagers and improving the quality of life.

On the day of the election, the villagers gathered in the village square in a solemn and warm atmosphere. Su Ye walked up to the stage, and in the face of the expectant eyes of the villagers, she took a deep breath and began an impassioned speech.

"Folks, I am Su Ye, and I am running for the village chief, not for power, but for our common home." Su Ye's voice echoed in the air,

"I promise that if I am elected, I will serve the village wholeheartedly, so that every villager can enjoy the dividends of development." Li Dazhuang stood in the crowd, listening to Su Ye's speech, his heart was full of pride.

He knew that Su Ye had the ability and determination to lead the village to a better future. During the voting session, the villagers solemnly put their votes into the ballot box.

The counting of votes was carried out intensely, and the whole village seemed to wait with bated breath for the birth of a new village chief. In the end, Su Ye was elected as the new village head with a high vote.

The villagers cheered, and applause poured into Su Ye like a tide. She walked up to the stage and bowed deeply to the villagers, her eyes shining with excitement and determination.

"Folks, thank you for your trust and support. I will live up to expectations and lead our village to prosperity. Su Ye's voice was sonorous and powerful, conveying firm conviction.

Li Dazhuang walked onto the stage and stood side by side with Su Ye, the two looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with confidence in the future.

They know that this is just the beginning and that there are countless challenges ahead for them to overcome, but as long as they work together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.

"Su Ye, are you ready?" Li Dazhuang asked in a low voice, his eyes full of anticipation. Su Ye smiled and nodded, his eyes resolute: "Da Zhuang, let's fight to the end for our village and our future." "When night falls, the village is bathed in joy and hope.

Su Ye and Li Dazhuang sat under the old locust tree, which was the old village chief's favorite during his lifetime, looking up at the starry sky, and their hearts were full of longing and determination for the future.

They know that there is still a long way to go for rural revitalization, and challenges remain, but as long as they work hand in hand, nothing can stop them from moving forward.

"Su Ye, what do you say, what will our village become in the future?" Li Dazhuang held Su Ye's hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

Su Ye turned his head to look at him, his eyes flashing with incomparable firmness: "Da Zhuang, as long as we don't forget our original intention and persist in reform, our village will definitely become more beautiful and rich, and the life of the villagers will become better and better." And all this is inseparable from everyone's efforts and dedication. Therefore, no matter what challenges we face in the future, we must work together to create a bright future that belongs to us. The next morning, the sun shone through the village, and the villagers were still immersed in the joy of the election of the new village head, Su Ye, with a high vote, but a tense atmosphere quietly shrouded the village.

A group of people came out of sight, led by Liu Qingyun, the head of the neighboring village, with a serious face and steady steps.

Su Ye and Li Dazhuang were discussing the work plan for the near future, and when they heard the movement, the two glanced at each other, and they already had a premonition in their hearts.

They walked out of the office quickly, only to see Liu Qingyun and his party waiting at the door.

"Village Chief Su Ye, congratulations on your election with a high vote." Liu Qingyunpi opened his mouth with a smile, but his eyes revealed a bit of provocation,

"I'm here about a disputed boundary between our two villages." Su Ye remained silent and responded politely: "Village Chief Liu, if you have anything, you might as well say it directly." Liu Qingyun took a map from the hands of his entourage, spread it out on the stone table in front of the village committee, and pointed to a marker: "This is a woodland at the junction of our two villages, and both sides have always tacitly acquiesced that it is terra nullius." But recently we checked the old archives and found out that this woodland should actually belong to our village. In view of the assumption of your new village head, I would like to take this opportunity to formally raise this issue in the hope that it will be resolved peacefully. Li Dazhuang frowned when he heard this, he knew the importance of that woodland to the village, it was not only the only way for the villagers to work daily, but also an important water source for the village.

He couldn't help but ask, "Village Chief Liu, what evidence do you have for suddenly bringing up this kind of thing?" Liu Qingyun took out a yellowed ancient contract from the document bag and showed it to everyone: "This is the title deed signed between our ancestors and the government during the Qing Dynasty, which clearly indicates the ownership of this forest land. We are not making a fuss, but we just hope that the boundaries will be reasonably divided according to historical facts. Su Ye carefully examined the contract and thought to himself in his heart.

She understands that if the matter is not handled properly, it may not only lead to conflicts between the villagers of the two villages, but also affect the long-term development of the village.

She looked up at Liu Qingyun, and her tone was calm but firm: "Village Chief Liu, I understand your position. But the stakes are high, and we need time to verify the authenticity of this deed and fully communicate with the villagers. Please give us a week and we will give you a clear answer at that time. Seeing Su Ye's sincerity, Liu Qingyun thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "One week is one week, I hope you can give a fair answer." Otherwise, we can only resolve the matter through official channels. Seeing off Liu Qingyun and his entourage, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang immediately convened members of the village committee and several respected elders to jointly study coping strategies.

They decided to split up, with some going to the county archives to verify the authenticity of the contract provided by the neighboring village, while others went to the villagers to listen to their opinions and collect relevant historical evidence.

Time was pressing, and Su Ye and Li Dazhuang kept going. They rummaged through the dusty files of the archives for clues, while visiting the village elders and listening to their oral historical memories.

After many twists and turns, they finally found the key evidence in an old genealogy – a detailed map of the village, which clearly marked the disputed woodland as belonging to the village.

At the same time, the villagers are also taking action, organizing themselves to clean up the surrounding environment of the woodland and find historical relics that may have been forgotten.

In a hidden cave, they stumbled upon a stone tablet engraved with the names of their ancestors, which recorded that the woodland had been the guardian of the village since ancient times.

A week passed in a flash, and Liu Qingyun, the head of the neighboring village, came to the village committee again as promised. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang were confident and showed him the evidence they had collected one by one.

"Village Chief Liu, this is the genealogical map of our village, as well as the stone tablet found in the woodland." Su Ye handed over the information, his voice was calm and powerful,

"This evidence is enough to prove that the disputed forest land has belonged to our village since ancient times. I believe that respecting history and facts is the best way to resolve disputes. Liu Qingyun looked at the evidence in his hand, his face was cloudy.

He had to admit that Su Ye and Li Dazhuang were extremely well prepared, and the evidence they provided was conclusive.

He pondered for a moment, and finally compromised: "It seems that we were negligent and failed to fully verify. In that case, I am willing to respect the historical facts and withdraw my claim to the disputed forest land. "The crisis was resolved and the villagers rejoiced.

They gathered in front of the village committee to express their respect and gratitude to Su Ye and Li Dazhuang. Su Ye smiled and raised his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Fellow villagers, this success is inseparable from the efforts of every villager. Remember, our village is our common home, and there is no obstacle that we cannot overcome in the face of any challenge as long as we are united. Li Dazhuang stood beside Su Ye with blazing eyes: "Yes, Su Ye is right." As long as we are united, anyone who tries to invade our homeland will come to naught. Our village will become a better place with our joint efforts. The crowd erupted in warm applause, and the villagers chanted the names of Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, and the cheers echoed over the village for a long time.

As night falls, bonfires are lit and people sing and dance to celebrate this hard-won victory. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang sat in the crowd, smiling, and their hearts were full of expectations and confidence for the future.

Just as the villagers were immersed in the joy of this victory, the peace of the village was broken by a sudden event.

Early that morning, while working in a long-abandoned field at the head of the village, several villagers inadvertently dug up a rusty tin box.

They cautiously opened the box, and inside it was a fine jade pendant and several ancient copper coins, which looked quite old.

The news quickly spread throughout the village, and the villagers gathered at the edge of the field to watch and discuss. Some speculate that this may be an artifact from antiquity, priceless; There are also concerns that it will cause covetousness and cause problems for the village.

And the most worrying thing is that a few villagers who are usually quite sensitive to money, seeing the treasure appearing, actually became greedy and privately discussed how to divide it.

"This jade pendant and copper coin must be valuable goods, let's start first and divide it quietly, no one will know." Zhang San said in a low voice, greed flashing in his eyes.

"No, this is dug out of the ground in our village, and it should be owned by the collective." Li Si retorted that he was an old party member in the village and knew the importance of collective interests.

"What is collective or not collective, whoever digs it is whoever's!" Wang Wu shouted, he was a fiery temper, and he never cared about the feelings of others when he spoke and acted.
