Chapter 179 A Special Gift
With so many people giving gifts, how can my little bag hold them all?
The villagers stuffed the gifts into the baskets under the eaves. Wow, there were eight large baskets full!
In fact, everyone was extremely poor and no family could afford anything good. All they had were small clothes, shoes, socks, insoles and the like that they had sewn by hand.
There are also some small quilts, pillows and cushions that were made by several families working together.
There are also some small toys, such as rattles, cloth tigers, bamboo dragonflies...
The variety is dazzling.
These gifts will be enough for Xiaotuanzi to use for at least two years.
"Fellow villagers, you are too polite..."
Luo Qiuyue Yunniang was surprised by the enthusiasm of the villagers.
The three brothers of the Ye family were stunned on the spot.
The corners of Ye Yanping's mouth kept twitching.
When he saw a small slingshot in the gift, he felt terrible.
Ye Yan'an was not much better. The moment he saw the tangram, he no longer wanted to talk.
Ye Yanshun also looked listless. He looked at the chicken feather scoop in the basket, then touched the one in his arms and sighed deeply.
The gift was prepared in vain.
So whose baby is Xiaojiuer now?
Why do I feel like I’m being loved and raised by the whole village?
Looking at the little baby with two dimples smiling sweetly, the three of them felt a little jealous. It was not a good thing if their little baby was too adorable!
This pressure is too great!
…
In the blink of an eye, the yard was crowded with people, who walked out directly after giving their gifts.
Luo Qiuyue invited them to have tea and dinner, but everyone declined with a smile.
The last time the Ye family moved to a new house, the whole village enjoyed delicious food for several days.
This time it’s Xiaojiuer’s birthday, if they stay for dinner, it would seem like they are giving gifts just for the food.
Anyway, Xiao Jiuer and the Ye family must be made to understand their true intentions, and the meal cannot be eaten under any circumstances.
"Don't leave in a hurry, I have something to tell you." The head of the village stopped the villagers.
Everyone stopped and asked, "What do you want to say, Li Zheng?"
The village head walked up to the little girl and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu'er, the village head has also prepared a special birthday gift for you."
"No, no, no!" Little Jiuer waved her little chubby hands, "It's too much!"
The village head said with a kind face, "Xiaojiu, this gift from the village head is different from everyone else's!"
"What's this?" The little girl looked into his arms curiously with her big eyes.
The village head stroked his beard and laughed, "My gift is too big to fit in my arms. It can't be seen or touched, and it's the only one of its kind in Heihe Village!"
"Huh?" The little dumpling blinked his big eyes in confusion.
The headman's words piqued the curiosity of the entire village, and everyone hurriedly said, "Headman, stop keeping us in suspense! What exactly is this gift? Take it out and let everyone see it!"
"What else? It's naturally mine..."
The headman was halfway through his words when the little girl immediately stretched out her little hand and covered his mouth tightly.
The village head said vaguely, "Xiao Jiu'er?"
"I, I'm so sleepy!" The little girl looked a little panicked. "I don't want any gifts!"
Then he kept pulling Ye Buwei, "Go to bed and sleep in the room!"
Ye Buwei chuckled softly and said, "Village Head, why don't you give me this gift? Little Jiuer doesn't seem to like it."
Many people also understood, "That's right, Li Zheng, look at how scared you scared Xiao Jiuer, you should keep this gift for now!"
The village head stroked his gray beard, his smile showing a hint of vicissitudes of life. "Since the villagers have guessed it, I won't hide it anymore."
"I've been a village head for over thirty years, which is long enough. During these three decades, I've tried everything, but I've never been able to lead the entire village to a better life. Why has Heihe Village suddenly changed so much? Everyone knows who's behind it, so I won't elaborate."
Everyone looked at Xiao Jiuer.
The little dumpling quickly covered his face with his little fleshy hands.
Kang does not see the nest, Kang does not see the nest...
"Fellow villagers, it's time to get a new headman for our village!" the headman said loudly, "Today is Xiao Jiuer's birthday. I'd like to take this opportunity to pass the position of headman to Xiao Jiuer. Do you agree?"
"Agree!" The villagers' voices were uniform and deafening.
What else do they have to disagree with the little goddess being the village head?
"According to the traditional rules, let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree, please raise your hands!"
Everyone immediately raised their hands without the slightest hesitation.
The village head glanced at it and said with satisfaction, "Very good, the whole village has passed it!"
"No, Uncle Village Chief, you missed the Ye family!" Ye Yanping said, "No one from our Ye family raised their hand!"
The village head smiled with a hint of cunning, "You are Xiao Jiuer's family, you don't need to raise your hands to express your opinion!"
"This..." Ye Yanping was anxious, "But, my family doesn't agree!"
The village head nodded. "With so many people in a village, it's normal for some to disagree. It doesn't matter if your family disagrees. As long as more than 60% of the villagers agree, it's a done deal!"
The Ye family: "This..."
In other words, this matter is non-negotiable!
The village head was afraid that the Ye family would say something else, so he spoke quickly, "Since everyone has no objection, then from now on, Xiao Jiuer is the village head of Heihe Village!"
"Great!" The villagers applauded loudly, "Congratulations to Xiao Jiuer for becoming the village head!"
"I don't want it, I don't want it!" The little dumpling shook his head like a rattle, "I don't want it! I don't want it!"
"Xiao Jiu'er doesn't want to either. I think we should just let it go," Luo Qiuyue said. "Xiao Jiu'er is too young. How can a two-year-old baby be a village head? Besides, we just want her to have fun and eat, and grow up happily. We don't want the position of village head."
"You can't say that, Yan Ping's mother!"
Several elders from Heihe Village came out trembling. "A candidate personally chosen by the village head and approved by the entire village cannot be rejected. This is the tradition of Heihe Village!"
Luo Qiuyue: "But, Heihe Village doesn't have the tradition of having a baby become a village head!"
The elders laughed and said, "Heihe Village has never set a limit on the age of the village head. Anyone with high moral character and ability can be a village head."
"Although Xiao Jiu'er is young, she is highly regarded by everyone. Yan Pingniang, please don't refuse her anymore."
Luo Qiuyue: “…”
“Ah…”
The little girl's mouth pouted, and her milky cry made everyone's heart wrenched.
"Why is Xiao Jiu'er crying?"
"I don't want Dangdang!" The little dumpling cried so sadly.
Everyone was panicked.
what to do?
Xiao Jiuer is going on strike before he even takes office?
If she really doesn't want to do it, no one dares to force her!
"Hurry up and comfort him, comfort him!" the head of the village was anxious.
"Xiao Jiuer, as the village head, you only need to give advice and let me do the work. Is that okay?" The village head looked humble.
"No, no, I don't want to be clean!" The little girl cried bitterly.
"Still unwilling?" The village head was sweating anxiously.
He dreamed that Xiao Jiuer could become the head of the village and lead the whole village to live a good life.
The villagers racked their brains and tried to persuade him with kind words and gentle voice.
"Xiao Jiu'er, this is the perfect time to sleep in. You can sleep as long as you want!"
"Yes, from now on everyone will listen to you, no one can be as powerful as you!"
"From now on, if anyone has something delicious at home, I'll send it to you first to try, okay?"
