"Ziying." The two men greeted Su Ziying as she approached. The male teacher was especially enthusiastic. Since they were all from the provincial capital, they naturally felt a sense of kinship upon arriving in the central town, especially since Su Ziying was a great beauty.
"Xiao Rui, Wei Ke, how are you doing here? Are you settling in?" Su Ziying asked them happily.
"It's great. Although the conditions are a bit tough, the children are very cute. It's just a shame that they have a holiday today; otherwise, they could see their beautiful teacher," Xiao Rui said with a smile.
Wei Ke forced a smile, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Why are there so many people here today?" A few people walked into the village committee office and asked Wang Yi with some curiosity when she saw so many people in the courtyard.
"The village is holding a mobilization meeting today. I heard it's about building a new countryside. Let's go to our dormitory first, have some water, and rest a bit," Wei Ke said.
Several people walked through the crowd and entered Wei Ke's dormitory.
However, after sitting for only a short while, the noise from the courtyard and the sound of adjusting the sound system started to rise.
In the conference room not far away, the election had also ended. Li Xiuyuan announced the election results: Zhou Jianzhong was elected as the new Party Branch Secretary of Meilin Village by the general meeting of the Meilin Village Party Branch.
Applause erupted from the audience.
Li Xiuyuan checked the time; it was almost ten o'clock. He said, "Let's go. Most of the villagers should be here by now. It's time for the mobilization meeting."
The group filed out of the conference room and took their seats on the stage. With only a minute or two remaining, Zhou Jianzhong took the microphone and repeatedly said, "Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet. The mobilization meeting is about to begin, please be quiet..."
Su Ziying and the others in the dormitory couldn't sit still any longer. The loudspeaker was still very noisy. Wei Ke simply said, "Why don't we go outside for a walk? It's so noisy."
The others had no objections, but Su Ziying seemed a little distracted. Li Xiuyuan had said he was coming to Meilin Village, but she hadn't seen him earlier. Was he absent? Or…?
Just as the group was leaving the dormitory, Zhou Jianzhong on the stage introduced the town leaders who had come up to the stage.
"Hou Peng, Deputy Secretary of the Town Party Committee and Mayor; Lu Zhenhai, Deputy Secretary of the Town Party Committee; Li Xiuyuan, Executive Deputy Mayor; Zhang Xingdong, Director of the Party and Government Office; Zhang Yaozong, Director of the Comprehensive Management Office; Wang Zhitao, Director of the Economic Development Office... Now, let's give a warm round of applause to all the leaders."
Wang Yi stopped in her tracks as she listened to the introduction on stage: "Li Xiuyuan is here too?"
Su Ziying looked at me with an expression that said, "I don't know."
"Ziying, why don't we listen to what they have to say?" Wang Yi felt that since they had run into an acquaintance, there was no problem in listening to what the other person had to say.
“What’s the point of listening to this? We…” Wei Ke waved his hand, but at that moment, Su Ziying also spoke up, “Let’s listen to it then. We have nothing else to do anyway. Let’s see what’s going on in the village. It’s nice to bask in the sun here.”
“Okay, I’ll go get a few chairs,” Xiao Rui said from the side.
