Chapter 30

There is no doubt that the team leader will be re-elected, and the Chen family will all get to eat meat today.

After much tugging and haggling, and trying to get close to the man, Shi Lanhua finally paid the money with a look of heartache on her face as her face was as pulled as a shoe horn.

Chen Qingyi was very satisfied with the net profit of 1.4 yuan, and Chen Qingfeng was so impressed that he massaged her shoulders and patted her back.

Want to learn a skill.

"Push your left shoulder harder."

"Is this strength enough?" He was counting on his sister to help him get rich.

"Not bad, young man, you have a bright future." Chen Qingyi swung her calves, enjoying the state of a rich woman.

"Huh? It's broken. The popsicle I bought is broken."

It failed to install within a minute, and I hurriedly took out the thermos from the quilt.

She almost forgot.

"It won't melt, will it?"

"What, sister, did you buy popsicles?" It's so refreshing to eat something cold in this hot summer.

"You bought the thermos, where did you get the ticket?"

Zhao Xiangmei and her three sons obviously had different focuses. Chen Qingyi was pouring popsicles out of the thermos.

It's ok, just a little bit.

While eating, he recounted today's butchering experience, "Mom, here's forty-five dollars. Take it."

"Mom, no, you killed the wild boar, you can save it yourself and buy it if you like it."

Under normal circumstances, Chen Qingyi would have kept it, but she had received so much money from Old Lady Chen.

It should be their family of five.

But she couldn't say it, so she could only make up for it elsewhere.

After much persuasion, she finally left five dollars.

Two days later, people from the commune came to re-elect the team leader.

Last night, the branch secretary announced through the loudspeaker that no one would go to work this morning. There would be a meeting at the threshing ground and all members had to be present.

Including educated youth.

The threshing ground is right to the west of Grandpa Zhao's house.

It is a very spacious open space covering an area of ​​about four acres, with a platform at the northernmost end.

All the important matters of the brigade are usually handled here.

There are now several stools on the table, a long table, and several large teacups.

Everyone was excited.

Everyone was discussing, "Who will your family choose?"

"We will choose whoever can lead us to a good life, just like the Shilazi Brigade next door.

If the captain of the people's congress is capable, everyone will live a good life.

By the end of the year, each family can get 70 or 80 yuan!

My second brother’s daughter-in-law from my mother’s side said that she only got a hundred last year at most!

In Shilazi, the brigade raised ten big fat pigs.

They can get meat three or four times a year, unlike us, who only get it once and don’t even get the good meat.

It’s not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.”

"Very, very much." Who around here doesn't envy the Shilazi Brigade.

While everyone was discussing it, the team leader and two commune officials arrived.

Following behind is the candidate for team leader.

Four team leaders, an accountant, and a scorekeeper.

Those who think their men have hope are already shaking with pride.

Some old ladies have changed their previous unreasonable and unkind attitude and have taken a people-friendly approach.

When speaking, he imitated the girl, pinching his throat and speaking softly.

What I learn is neither fish nor fowl and it’s really an eyesore.

However, the family of the third team leader Feng Changxi was very stable, no different from usual.

Let Chen Qingyi look at him with a higher regard.

"Xiaoyi, who does your family choose?" Chen Shengnan grinned, looking excited.

"I don't know. I don't really understand."

She wouldn't be so foolish as to tell anyone and offend them.

"My mother said to choose the captain of the second team." Chen Shengnan lowered his voice.

Chen Qingyi, her face full of questions, was a bit confused.

Captain of Team Two? Cao Dajun?

Is it that daughter-in-law who looks at people with her chin and is a spoiled brat who likes to show off?

His family is one of the few troublemakers in the brigade. The whole family is selfish and unreasonable.

Chosen as team leader because...

"Sister Shengnan, did his family secretly send eggs to Auntie?"

"How do you know?" Chen Shengnan was shocked. It was pitch dark, how could someone see us?

still……

"Did they send it to your family too? How many did they give it to?"

“…No.”

Chen Qingyi curled her lips. Even if it was given to her family, she wouldn't accept it. She looked down on it and said it was not as good as Wu Youde!

"Give my family six!" This is based on the number of people.

"I heard it was given to the boss's house."

"Have you eaten the eggs?" Chen Qingyi suddenly changed the subject. With such a big hand comparison, if he was not selected, according to the nature of Cao Dajun's family, they would not come to ask for it!

hiss……

I always feel like there's something exciting to watch.

As the two of them were chatting animatedly, the election meeting began.

The branch secretary coughed a few times, "Cough cough cough..."

The threshing ground gradually quieted down and everyone looked towards the Party Secretary.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. First of all, we would like to thank the leadership for their attention to our team.

Come and preside over the election of our brigade in person.

Let's give you a warm welcome!"

Quacking, quacking...

The two commune officials stood up and nodded.

The branch secretary pressed his hand and continued, "Such a thing happened in our Big Pigpen Brigade...

It's because I, the branch secretary, didn't manage it well.

I feel ashamed of you all.”

"Old Party Secretary, I don't blame you."

"Yes, old Party Secretary." The Party Secretary is a good person, fair and modest.

It was because he had grown old and was in poor spirits in recent years that Wu Youde became so powerful that he caused this shameful incident.

It brought shame to the entire team.

The branch secretary wiped his eyes and said, "Thank you, everyone.

Re-election is also a good thing for our brigade..."

After talking for a while, he said that considering some people could not read, they would throw wooden sticks and whoever had more sticks would be elected.

"Pa pa pa..." Another round of applause.

Next the candidate spoke.

A few people looked at each other, and were polite to each other on the stage, each with a gentle smile on their face.

Chen Qingyi felt sparks flying and crackling, and she made a "tsk" sound and looked down at the red wooden stick.

The speech was quite boring, the first two were just empty talk.

For example, Cao Dajun said passionately: "I will make sure everyone has a good life!"

How to live was not mentioned.

"I'm going to the commune to apply for a tractor for our team!"

The two commune officials looked a little uneasy.

Their Hongshi Commune had twelve brigades and only four tractors.

One was given to the Shilazi Brigade.

Because Shilazi Brigade was the richest in the entire commune and had a small factory.

What ability does the Big Pigpen Brigade have to ask the commune to give it one?

Relying on the second-to-last productivity.

There was also talk about rebuilding the primary school, but many people rolled their eyes and only a few were fooled.

"Who gave him the courage?"

Aunt Yun was also a little confused. "Depending on the eggs given away?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The people around who heard it burst into laughter. There is no wall that is impenetrable, and everyone could vaguely hear it.

Cao Dajun, who was full of passion on the stage: ...

I felt a little unhappy that the rhythm was interrupted.

I can't blow it anymore.

It ended abruptly, and he looked a little unhappy as soon as he got off the stage.

The next one is Feng Changxi, the second son of the rickshaw driver, Old Man Feng.

I went to school for a few days before. I was one of the few educated people in that generation of the brigade.

My daughter-in-law Wei Maimiao, everyone calls her Aunt Maimiao, has a big face, like a full moon.

The eyes are round, the nose is round, and the whole body is round.

A very blessed image.

She is a bit aggressive, but she is always generous and efficient in doing things.

She is also kind-hearted, and Feng Changxi's good popularity is partly due to her contribution.
