"Secretary Huo, there was a call from Ganghushan Village saying that the matter has been settled and the villagers have agreed this time!"

Cao Qingfeng couldn't hide his excitement, "How should we promote our work next?"

"What's next?" Huo Qianli paused, "Let's make some plans for the industrial park. As for the property rights reform, we can just do it while we wait."

"Hmm? Waiting for what?"

"Wait until the villagers have raised all their reasonable and unreasonable demands, and finally reach a consensus." Huo Qianli concentrated and thought for a while, "We will try to determine the first step of personnel before New Year's Day."

Cao Qingfeng frowned. It was September now, the ninth month in the Gregorian calendar, and there were still more than three months until New Year's Day.

Such a thing takes three months?

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Don't believe it?"

Cao Qingfeng thought about it and nodded, "There are only more than a hundred households anyway, it shouldn't take so much effort to count them, right?"

Huo Qianli glanced at Xiao Yao, "Old Xiao, what do you think?"

"Comrade Qingfeng, I have also done this in the village." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "Although I am not too willing to admit it, it is almost foreseeable that Hushan Village will definitely have a lot of trouble by then."

Cao Qingfeng said, "I also know that rural work will be more complicated, but it shouldn't be that exaggerated, right? Determine the members, check the capital, and make the final distribution. At most, there will be some disagreements in the final distribution process. We can talk about it and compromise. It won't take several months, right?"

Xiao Yao glanced at Huo Qianli, and seeing that Huo Qianli had no intention of interrupting, he said, "Comrade Qingfeng, do you remember that in our member definition method, there is a rule that no one will be added if the members are born, and no one will be reduced if the members die."

Cao Qingfeng nodded and was about to speak when he was suddenly stunned, "Are you saying that they will go to great lengths for this membership?"

"What else? If Hushan Village succeeds, the membership will be very powerful. As for if it fails, that's fine too. We won't lose out anyway, so why not do it?"

Cao Qingfeng fell silent after hearing this. So this matter is quite complicated?

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Don't be too pessimistic. We have left some room with the village committee of Hushan Village in advance. They have some room to maneuver."

.......

In Hushan Village, people in twos and threes poured out of the village committee.

At moments like after school or when meetings are over, no matter how old you are, you all feel a sense of relief and joy.

The three women walked together, whispering to each other.

"Sister Liu, what do you mean by 'birth does not increase, death does not decrease'?"

"Didn't the village chief say that? If someone dies in the future, that share won't be taken back. It will just be inherited by the household."

"Then there's no new way to have a baby?"

"That's what I said."

"Is it necessary to add money when I want to marry a wife?"

"What are you thinking? You can't even have a baby, how can you find a wife?"

"Damn it, this is a one-time deal!"

As the two were talking, one woman looked at the other short and fat woman in confusion, "Sister Xu, why aren't you talking?"

The short and fat woman frowned and said, "You guys go back first. I forgot something. I'll go get it!"

Having said that, he turned around hurriedly and walked back towards the village committee.

The remaining two people looked at each other.

"What's going on? She just came here empty-handed!"

"I guess he went back to find something to do!"

"Oh! Her daughter-in-law is going to give birth in two months!"

The two guessed correctly that the short and fat woman went back for this matter.

Her daughter-in-law's belly is already very big and she will give birth in a month or two. If Murakami does this at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of a place in her family?

Although we can’t see any benefits now, we can always tell what will happen in the future. It’s better to grab the spot first. Even if you don’t have a use for it when the time comes, it’s better than having a use for it but not having one!

No, no matter how Murakami arranges it, she must secure the position for her unborn grandson!

There’s no need to discuss this matter with the man in the house!

When she ran against the crowd and hurried to Gu Daqiang's office in the village committee, she found that she was not the only one.

There is already someone in the room.

The short and fat woman had no choice but to wait at the door, listening to the conversation coming from inside with her ears pricked up.

A woman's voice sounded, "Village leader, do you think this member will take a long time to finish?"

Gu Daqiang said calmly: "According to our scheduled time, it should be completed within half a month."

"Then what do you mean by 'birth does not increase, death does not decrease'?"

"Eligibility this time is based on households. Once determined, it will no longer be adjusted based on population growth or decline."

"Well, I want five seats."

Gu Daqiang's voice was filled with helplessness and confusion. "There are only you, your husband, and a son in your room. Where did the five seats come from?"

"My son won't take a wife! If my son takes a wife, he won't have children!" The woman answered confidently, "Of course I have to save a place for them!"

Gu Daqiang couldn't help but retort, "How do you know your son only had one child? What if it's twins? Would you still want another seat?"

"Yeah! That's right! Then we need six seats!"

"This isn't a dinner party, there's no point in reserving seats!" Gu Daqiang's tone sank, "This is based on the actual situation. There are only as many people as there are in the family! There really is no room for compromise, otherwise everything will be a mess!"

The woman raised her voice, her tone filled with strong resentment and resistance, "That won't work! If you do this, we will suffer a great loss!"

"Oh, don't be so anxious! Just listen to what I have to say!"

Gu Daqiang looked at the woman and said, "I will try my best to buy you some time. If you really want to occupy this position, then hurry up and find a match for your son. There is no need to hold a wedding banquet. Just get the certificate first and we will recognize each other!"

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Not only that, if your married eldest daughter is willing to sign back her household registration, as long as she registers at the police station and more than two-thirds of the villagers agree, she can also take a place. In this way, within a month, is that good enough?"

The woman looked hesitant, and Gu Daqiang said, "Don't think too much. If you have the time, make arrangements. You can't keep putting it off!"

The woman sighed, "That's fine, thank you, village chief!"

"Let's not talk about that. We do all these things for the good of everyone!"

After seeing this person off, Gu Daqiang just picked up the teacup when he saw a short and fat woman flash in, "Village Chief, I have something to tell you!"

Gu Daqiang sighed in his heart. It seemed that this level was just as he had thought. It would be difficult to pass!
