You won't feel any pain unless the whip hits your body.
Zhao Wei's good-intentioned advice was met with criticism, but he was not angry. He just learned to keep his mouth shut and not get involved in the karma of others.
On the day of the conference, everyone gathered in the threshing ground, set up a small stool, and crowded together, covering the entire place.
The old president first emphasized the significance of spring ploughing, then reviewed the achievements made in previous years and thanked everyone for their support and recognition of his work.
After speaking a lot, he explained the last thing he would do during his tenure, which was to change the leadership.
"Attention, all the village teams. After discussions among the various officers of the commune and the nominations of the other team leaders, we are now proposing a list of candidates. They are Liu Laobao, Wang Dachui, Zhao Guowei..."
"We will now conduct a fair, just and open election to select the captains of the third, fourth, sixth and eighth brigades."
"Everyone will have four ballots in their hands. You can put these ballots into the boxes of the eight candidates. The one with the most votes will win. Okay, let's get started!"
…
Zhao Wei's family also received such a ballot, which was actually just a piece of red paper with the commune's official seal on it, and outsiders could not forge it.
"Zhao Wei, Lin Zhiqing and I don't know these people. Which one should we vote for later?"
Lin Zhiqing said proudly: "I will vote for whoever the Zhao family votes for. This way, I can't go wrong, hehe..."
Liu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him, but she couldn't deny that the other party was quite smart.
Wang Caigu said without thinking, "Let's vote for Liu Laobao. He's a good guy. My family had some problems half a year ago and when we needed money, he was the most generous person in the whole village. For this reason, we have to support him."
Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows. If it were before his rebirth, if he didn’t know the truth, he would really vote for this person.
It cannot be said that there is something wrong with Liu Laobao, but there is a shrewish woman in the other party's family who likes to take advantage of others and is a well-known troublemaker.
Normally, unreasonableness accounts for three points, but under this reasonableness, I am afraid...
It just so happens that Liu Laobao is a henpecked man. If Ji becomes the team leader, it is very likely that this troublemaker will come into play, and who knows what kind of corruption will occur at that time.
"Mom, no, he may have a good reputation, but he's too soft-hearted. How can he scare away these evil spirits in the village? Let's change him!"
"Hiss...then let's change to Wang Dachui?"
"Sure. He's quite honest and capable of taking on responsibilities. It would be good for everyone if he were the team leader."
"The remaining three are..."
After Zhao Wei and Wang Caigu bit each other's ears for a while, they finally identified the target person.
The only thing left to do was to vote. Everyone lined up in a long queue and the queue didn't stop until all the votes in their hands had been cast.
Next it was the turn of the various officials in the commune to check the tickets.
The boxes of the eight candidates were opened one by one on the spot, and after the votes inside were counted, the results were written on a small black wooden board.
It took a full hour, and when everyone below was in an uproar, the president finally stood up and announced the results.
Nothing unexpected happened. No matter how those clowns acted, the four people selected were still relatively reliable.
At least, he is more reliable than the four captains who had accidents before.
Those four people didn't get to their positions through elections, but were chosen by sheer luck in the early days of the founding of the company.
During the years they were in power, many families were exploited by them. Otherwise, they would not have jumped out to add insult to injury after they were imprisoned.
Originally, those captains still had a chance to survive, but with the help of these victims, they are said to have been sentenced to death.
This matter has not been announced to the public yet, but Zhao Wei has already heard a little bit of information from Captain Zhou.
Right now, the villagers all want to live a better life, and choosing an honest and reliable leader is the best outcome.
Those who were not elected were naturally very depressed at this time. Some of them had given away a lot of things, and before the meeting was over, they began to look for people to return the things they had given away.
They were just some rotten pickles and dried wild vegetables, but they were tearing them apart until their faces turned red and their necks became angry, and they were almost about to start a fight.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people here, and it wasn't a place where they could act up. They were quickly picked up and thrown out of the venue.
The last important event was the announcement of the old president’s successor.
Unexpectedly, this personnel list was decided by the higher-ups and fell directly on Zhao Wei's head.
The moment his name was announced, everyone in Yushudun was shocked.
Er Laizi and the others were naturally so happy that they were silly. They even suspected that their ears were not working well for them to hear such news.
The people in Zhao Wei's family stood there in disbelief, repeatedly asking if he had read it wrong.
There is only one Zhao Wei in Yushudun, and it is impossible to find another one.
Zhao Wei himself was stunned by the news.
How could he deserve to be in this position? Moreover, it was decided by an official document issued from above.
Soon, the villagers' eyes turned from disbelief to disbelief, and they started shouting.
"Why? What virtue and ability does Zhao Wei have?"
"He's just a drunkard. What else can he do besides beating women?"
"In the past few years, we haven't seen him working in the fields for a single day. Does he know how to farm or raise poultry?"
"There must be something fishy going on here, old president. Just tell me straight. Did Zhao Wei do such a thing because he gave you such a big favor?"
"We absolutely won't believe a young man like him who can't do anything and wants to guide us in production. This is ridiculous!"
…
The people in the village were not all pessimistic. Those who had followed Zhao Wei to the mountain believed in him and immediately stood up to express their opinions.
"Zhao Wei is educated. We saw him write a mountain-driving agreement with our own eyes. It was approved by the accountant. How many talented people can we find in our village?"
These words silenced everyone present.
Yushu was so poor that after searching the entire village, they found that only the Zhao family was willing to use all their strength to support Zhao Long, a high school student.
It's a pity that Zhao Long is now imprisoned for his immoral act of violating public morals. He will be stigmatized for the rest of his life and will have no future.
Just this one thing alone was enough to defeat more than a thousand people present.
Some villagers who usually attend literacy classes also stood up.
"Our old president is wise and brave, and we also have some knowledge of culture. If we judge by this, then we are also qualified to compete."
