Chen Xiaolan chuckled, her eyes sparkling.
"Mom, what are we going to eat tonight?"
Zhang Cuiyi said, "Just eat something in the evening."
Chen Xiaolan pursed her lips, but still went to do her homework.
Tian Wenjun smiled, glanced at Chen Baoguo, and said, "Baoguo, I'll boil some water, you can take a bath and wash your hair afterwards. Go to town tomorrow to get a haircut and look more energetic."
Chen Baoguo's ears turned red as he listened.
Chen Jianguo said: "Your sister-in-law is right. No matter what time it is, you should be more energetic and live a more energetic life."
Chen Baoguo said: “I understand, brother.
Thank you, sister-in-law."
Tian Wenjun said: "Why are you being polite? I'll go cook."
Before she even entered the kitchen, the public speaker started to sound.
"Attention, all villagers. Attention, all villagers, a general meeting will be held at 2 pm in the Gongyi Brigade Courtyard. Please attend on time. Please attend on time."
Zhang Qiang's voice came from the loudspeaker, and he repeated the notification three times in a row.
Tian Wenjun asked, "Are you going to criticize someone at the meeting this afternoon?"
Chen Jianguo said: "It should be the election of a new village party secretary."
Tian Wenjun was silent for a moment, then turned and went into the kitchen.
Chen Jianguo was afraid that she would feel upset, so he followed her in from behind, stood beside her and told her what he had heard.
Tian Wenjun said: "He deserves it. He is old anyway. He has done a lot of immoral things in the village over the years and has harmed many people. Everyone knows it.
He even killed his own children. It would be considered a mercy to let him pay off his debts before serving seven days of reeducation through labor."
Chen Jianguo felt relieved after hearing what his wife said.
Tian Wenjun took white flour, added corn flour to it, and made stewed noodles.
After the whole family finished their meal, they all carried their small stools and went to the courtyard of the Gongqi Brigade.
The Gongqi Brigade Courtyard could not accommodate the entire village population, so meetings were usually held in front of the stage in front of the Gongqi Brigade Courtyard.
Tian Wenjun didn't like sitting in the front, so the whole family sat neatly in the back.
The women sitting in the front were huddled together, wearing red and green headscarves to suit the occasion.
These women gathered together in groups, with serious expressions, some beaming with joy, and some talking to each other.
This made Tian Wenjun inexplicably think of the four words "intelligence army".
Just by looking at their ever-changing expressions, you can tell how exciting the story they are discussing is.
"Xu Daqiang was fired by the village committee, and he was also asked to pay back the money we had given him."
"That's great. I heard that someone reported it. I don't know if it's true or not."
"It must be true, but I don't know who reported it. This is really a great thing for our village."
"I heard that it was done by Xu Zhaodi and her husband. I don't know if it's true or not."
Someone secretly glanced towards Tian Wenjun.
"No way, if this is true, wouldn't it be killing one's own relatives for the sake of justice?"
"Why not? It's not like the couple has ever raised her for a single day.
Besides, her biological parents are nothing. I think this child is lucky. She was picked up by her uncle and aunt when she was young and raised to be plump and healthy. How come she is so thin after coming back this time?"
“That’s what I mean.”
"Keep your voice down, people are looking at us."
These people coughed dryly, and then put their heads together and said something inaudible. Finally, when Zhang Qiang and his companions arrived, they looked towards the front of the stage.
Chen Jianguo reached out and held Tian Wenjun's hand, then put it in his pocket.
The two smiled at each other, knowing what the other was thinking.
Zhang Cuiying sighed, thinking that it was really difficult for the two children.
It was such a difficult decision to make, and in the end I still had to be pointed out by others.
Zhang Cuiying knew it all, it was all because of Lao.
She looked at the back of Tian Wenjun's head and felt sad.
This child has a really hard life.
At the front desk, Mayor Wang said a few preliminary words and immediately got to the point.
"We are holding this general meeting today to elect a new branch secretary for you.
As everyone knows, something happened in your village, and the purpose of our visit today is to deal with this matter.
First, Xu Daqiang will pay you back the money today."
As soon as Mayor Wang finished speaking, there was applause from the audience, and the hands of those who were being cheated of money clapped loudly.
After the applause died down, Mayor Wang continued, “First, we need to select a new village party secretary. You can choose one village party secretary that you think is capable from among the three team leaders.
The third thing is the re-education through labor matter involving two members of your village.
What happened between Chen Baoguo and Tian Xiaoyun was a misunderstanding. The two have already made it clear. Please stop discussing it in the future.
The conflict between Chen Dazhuang and Xu Daqiang has also been clarified. These two people do not need to be punished. I would like to make it clear that this is a misunderstanding so as not to affect their future lives.
However, everyone should learn a lesson from this incident. When it comes to going to labor camps, we must be strict, strict, and strict again.”
The members applauded again.
Chen Baoguo lowered his head, and Chen Jianguo gently pressed on his back.
"Look up, what are you afraid of if it's something you haven't done yet?"
Chen Baoguo's eyes secretly turned red, and he said silently in his heart: Thank you, brother.
Chen Jianguo twitched his lips and said, "Our whole family will vote for Zhang Qiang. Tell Chen Dazhuang."
Chen Baoguo nodded, and while the three team leaders were handing out notes, Chen Baoguo went to find Chen Dazhuang.
Chen Jianguo knew that Zhang Qiang was capable and that this young man was flexible and knew when to advance and retreat, so he could definitely be in this position.
When the tickets were handed to them, Chen Jianguo wrote Zhang Qiang's name without hesitation.
The tickets were collected by other villagers. The names of the three captains were written on the blackboard next to the stage.
Open a ticket, read a name, and someone writes the correct strokes of the character on the blackboard.
There were hundreds of people in the village, and halfway through the voting, Zhang Qiang had the most votes.
As soon as Chen Jianguo saw it, he knew that the position of village party secretary must belong to Zhang Qiang.
It seems that the eyes of the masses are really sharp.
After the voting, Mayor Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the results.
He was quite satisfied with the result.
"As you can see, this village party secretary was chosen by you yourselves, and the method used was fair and just. I hope that everyone will actively cooperate with the public brigade in the future and work together to ensure that all villagers have fine grains to eat."
There was applause again.
Zhang Qiang felt a little embarrassed. He never thought that he could become the village party secretary.
The next thing was to deal with Xu Daqiang. Xu Daqiang sat at the front desk with his head down, while the people below pointed at him with ferocious faces, wishing they could drown him with their spit.
He finally remembered this grudge.
It was all done by his good daughter.
When Xu Daqiang took out the money, he felt heartbroken.
He returned the money to everyone in front of the whole village.
Tian Li sat in the crowd and everyone stayed away from her.
In the past, when we went to the fields to say hello, it was because he was the wife of the village party secretary.
Now Xu Daqiang is nothing, who is afraid of them?
Who cares about them?
