After all the members and educated youth arrived, the election meeting officially began.

Ten candidates stood up first, and none of them was from the Shen family. The Shen family had already lost. Those who had relied on Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian to gain attention in the past were now in danger and unable to take care of themselves. They dared not show off anymore, and even dared not participate in the election.

Everyone has to choose a new team leader and six team leaders from these ten candidates.

In Qingping Bay, Yu is the largest surname. Because Yu Baoguo has served as a team leader before, the villagers trust him more. Therefore, everyone has the highest support for him and he is the most likely to be elected as the team leader.

Among the remaining nine people, there are members of the Yu family and people from other families.

Since the villagers were basically illiterate, there was no need for ballots during elections. The commune officials would just propose the names of the candidates and ask the villagers to raise their hands. The votes would be counted based on the number of hands raised by the commune members and educated youth, and there was no need to worry about whether there would be duplicate votes resulting in overlapping votes.

In the end, Yu Guobao received the highest vote and became the new captain of the Qingpingwan Brigade.

As for the selection of the branch secretary, it is temporarily entrusted to Yu Guobao.

Later, six new team leaders were elected one after another, and the new leadership team of Qingpingwan Brigade was born.

As the team leader, Yu Guobao had to speak in public.

He knew that it was because Xu Nuannuan and Fu Yunqi went to the county last night to report Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian that Shen Mengan was arrested. Xu Nuannuan and Fu Yunqi could be said to have eliminated a great threat to their village. If it weren't for them, he would not have been able to sit in the position of team leader and village party secretary, and their village would not have ushered in new hope.

So, when he stood up, he said, "Since you have elected me as the leader of our brigade, I will definitely live up to your expectations, change the backwardness of our brigade, strive to actively develop our brigade, lead our fellow villagers to grow good food, have enough food to eat, and work hard to prevent everyone from going hungry."

There was immediately thunderous applause from the crowd.

They all knew about Shen Meng'an's secret resale of collective fertilizers and his own pockets. With Bao Guo leading them, similar incidents would not happen again. Their grain yields would naturally increase, and their days of hunger would surely become less frequent.

Then, Yu Guobao deliberately searched for two figures in the crowd and said to everyone, "In fact, this time, we were able to eradicate this cancer in our village thanks to the new educated youth, Xu Zhiqing and Fu Zhiqing. It was they who went to the county town overnight to expose Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian. Only then were their crimes discovered by Secretary Fang and Shen Mengan arrested. This is all thanks to them. It was they who saved Qingping Bay and brought hope to our team. We should thank them."

There was another round of warm applause from the audience, and the members of the commune began to search for the two men among the educated youth team.

Fu Yunqi didn't contribute much, but was openly praised by the team leader. Feeling guilty, he took the initiative to come forward and clarify.

"Hello everyone, I'm the Fu Zhiqing the captain mentioned. But the fact that we were able to bring down those two corrupt officials this time wasn't really my credit. Actually, I was also persecuted by those two corrupt officials, so I should thank Xu Zhiqing as well. It was all thanks to Xu Zhiqing's wit and courage that we were able to bring them down. If you want to thank someone, thank her."

So, everyone's attention was focused on Xu Nuannuan. It turned out that Xu Nuannuan was the savior of their villagers and the great contributor to their cause.

Someone called out to her, "Xu Zhiqing, please stand up and say a few words."

Then the same cry was heard again. Xu Nuannuan actually had nothing to say. The reason why she wanted to overthrow Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian was simply because she didn't want her parents to be persecuted by them. Of course, it was also because she and Fu Yunqi were being bullied. Unexpectedly, she became a great hero in the village.

Xu Nuannuan couldn't refuse the villagers' kind invitation, so she stood up.

"Punishing evil and eliminating evil has always been a matter of justice. Since there are evil people in this world, there should be people who stand up and punish them. I just accidentally wanted to resist their difficulties. The real ones who eliminated them were our fair and selfless superiors and public security officials who performed their duties impartially. We should be grateful to them."

She didn't dare take all the credit for such a great achievement, otherwise she would be ignoring Secretary Fang and Director Ma.

Moreover, if there were no good cadres above them, they would not have been able to bring down Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian so easily.

Having said that, everyone knows that for their village, the credit goes to Xu Nuannuan.

Secretary Fang and Director Ma have been here for a long time. If Xu Nuannuan had not come here, even with Secretary Fang and Director Ma, they still could not get rid of the hegemony of the Shen family father and son in the village.

Xu Nuannuan was praised and didn't forget to bring Jiang Ye along: "In fact, we were able to successfully expose them this time thanks to the help of Comrade Jiang Ye. He took the trouble to take us to the county town. I want to thank him."

"I also thank Comrade Jiang Ye." Fu Yunqi smiled.

Someone nearby immediately said, "Jiang Ye is a good guy from our village. Even though he looks fierce, he's a good person."

Mei Xiangcao felt indescribably happy when she heard those praises, especially Xu Nuannuan's praise for Jiang Ye.

It’s a pity that his silly son is not here, otherwise he would be so happy.

But Zhang Xiaoyan in the crowd was unhappy at this time. Jiang Ye drove Xu Nuannuan to the county town in the middle of the night, and she was afraid that something might happen between Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan.

She could also see that Jiang Ting and Xu Nuannuan were very close, so she didn't want to help Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan get closer.

Her brother Zhang Xiaogang was staring at Xu Nuannuan with sparkling eyes, as if he was fascinated by her.
