At the end of March, it was suddenly announced that every village would form a militia team.
Song Lili had heard Wang Daming mention it before, but then she lost contact with him. She thought it was just talk, but she never expected it to be true.
To address this matter, Li Weiguo convened a brief meeting with the leadership team of Hongqi Village.
Li Weiguo said, "This time it's been decided. Each village needs one, and the number will be around twenty. Do you have any ideas?"
Luo Weijia spoke first, "Since the town has already decided, then let's build it. But how do we choose the people? Should each of us recommend a few?"
Subconsciously, Luo Weijia still wanted to strengthen his team and make it more powerful.
Therefore, he came up with this method so that the people he recommended could only stand on his side in the end.
Zhang Qinghua, on the other hand, had a different opinion: "I think we should still solicit everyone's opinions. Those who are willing to participate should sign up voluntarily. If the number of people exceeds the limit, we will select some. If the number of people is insufficient, we will find another way."
However, Zhang Qinghua thought to himself that it was impossible to have insufficient numbers. The militia members also received subsidies and work points, so who wouldn't want to join them?
Even if only one person from each family contributes, it's already a significant achievement; it seems the competition this time is fierce.
Lü Qiaosheng then said, "I agree with Zhang Qinghua's approach of letting everyone decide for themselves, so that even if they are not elected, they will have no complaints."
If they make recommendations, those who aren't recommended might resent them.
Everyone else agreed with Zhang Qinghua's method, except for Zhou Jiaming from the Third Brigade, who opposed it.
"I think Director Luo's method is quite good. Letting everyone choose for themselves will definitely make everyone want to be selected. But then, who do you let be selected and who don't? That would offend people."
Yang Weimin initially didn't want to speak, but in the end he couldn't help but say, "It definitely has to be voluntary, but there are only so many people, so we need to have a selection rule."
"Those who pass will be accepted, and those who fail are simply failing due to their own abilities. Nobody can be blamed. Isn't that a good thing?"
In any case, he doesn't approve of recommending it.
After the recommendation, the militia will be divided into several groups, which will make it difficult for the village party secretary to carry out his work.
As Li Weiguo's in-law, he did not want this situation to occur.
Li Weiguo shared the same idea, and finally made the final decision: "I also agree that everyone should volunteer and select candidates through a selection process."
"Director Luo, I'd like to trouble you to gather everyone together, explain the situation to them, and then let them make their own choices."
The minority must submit to the majority. Luo Weijia had no choice but to reluctantly agree, and he felt deeply constrained.
When Xu Youcai was around, Xu Youcai would support his decisions. With Zhou Jiaming and Liu Zhong, the indecisive captain of the fourth team, and ignoring the neutral Lü Qiaosheng, he always got what he wanted.
However, after Xu Youcai left, he felt as if he had lost most of his power and was powerless to do anything.
Just like this time, the loss of one person has made it impossible for him to do whatever he wants anymore.
This made Luo Weijia very unhappy and frustrated, but he was at a loss and couldn't think of a solution for the time being.
He thought that this time, he must make sure that the militia captain position is held by someone who supports him, so that he can remain invincible.
But will things develop as he hopes?
After dinner, before it got too late, Luo Weijia gathered the villagers together and told them about the matter.
As Zhang Qinghua predicted, many people wanted to sign up. If it weren't for the rule that only one person per household could sign up, probably everyone would want to.
Many people immediately raised their hands to sign up.
Song Lili didn't feel anything. The militia definitely wouldn't accept girls, so she had no chance, and she didn't want to either.
However, she had an idea in mind. She wanted to discuss it with Zhang Qinghua.
After much difficulty, they finally found Zhang Qinghua, who was somewhat disheveled and panting from being jostled by the crowd.
Zhang Qinghua found her appearance somewhat amusing, suppressing the urge to smile as he asked, "How did you end up like this?"
"I needed to talk to you about something, so I squeezed through from the other end, and that's how it ended up like this?"
Zhang Qinghua's lips curved slightly, then he suppressed it. "What is it?"
"You probably wouldn't join the militia, right?" Even if he wanted to, he figured the others wouldn't allow it.
Zhang Qinghua nodded. "I'm already an accountant, so I'm afraid that won't work. What about your family? Is your brother planning to apply?"
Zhang Qinghua meant that it would be best to sign up, as it would also bring these additional benefits to her family.
Song Lili didn't think that way. She just wanted to live a low-key life for the next ten years, trying to avoid attracting attention as much as possible.
Ideally, it would be best to forget that her family even existed.
She shook her head. "I don't think it's necessary, but I don't know what my older brother is thinking. I'll ask him."
Song Jianshe's ideas are still very important.
If Song Jianshe wants to become the president, Song Lili can't stop him, but she hopes he will listen to her advice.
"Then you should ask around. It's best to join the militia; there are subsidies and work points for them." That's what made everyone so enthusiastic.
Like the village cadres, the militia members also receive work points as subsidies.
Although there were work points as a subsidy, Song Lili still advised Song Jianshe not to go, but she didn't want to tell Zhang Qinghua about this.
"What about Daqing? What's he thinking? Does he want to join the militia?"
Zhang Qinghua nodded. "He was very happy to hear this question and said he definitely wanted to take it."
Song Lili then voiced her thoughts: "Doesn't the militia need a captain? I think we should let Daqing try to get one." As she spoke, she winked.
