After all the members and educated youth arrived, the election meeting officially began.
Ten candidates stood up first, and none of them was from the Shen family. The Shen family had already lost. Those who had relied on Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian to gain attention in the past were now in danger and unable to take care of themselves. They dared not show off anymore, and even dared not participate in the election.
Everyone needs to choose a new team leader and two team leaders from these ten candidates.
In Qingping Bay, Yu is the largest surname. Because Yu Baoguo has served as a team leader before, the villagers trust him more. Therefore, everyone has the highest support for him and he is the most likely to be elected as the team leader.
Among the remaining nine people, there are members of the Yu family and people from other families.
Since the villagers were basically illiterate, there was no need for ballots during elections. The commune officials would just propose the names of the candidates and ask the villagers to raise their hands. The votes would be counted based on the number of hands raised by the commune members and educated youth, and there was no need to worry about whether there would be duplicate votes that would result in overlapping votes.
In the end, Yu Guobao received the highest vote and became the new captain of the Qingpingwan Brigade.
As for the candidate for branch secretary, Guo Bao is currently in the position.
Later, new team leaders were selected one after another, and the new leadership team of Qingpingwan Brigade was born.
Yu Guobao served as the team leader and had to speak in public.
He knew that it was because Xu Nuannuan and Fu Yunqi went to the county together last night to report Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian, which led to Shen Mengan being arrested. Xu Nuannuan and Fu Yunqi could be said to have eliminated a great threat to their village. If it weren't for them, he would not have been able to sit in the position of team leader and village party secretary, and their village would not have ushered in new hope.
So, when he stood up, he said, "Since you have elected me as the leader of our brigade, I will definitely live up to your expectations, change our brigade's backward appearance, strive to actively develop our brigade, lead our fellow villagers to grow good food, have enough to eat, and work hard to ensure that no one goes hungry."
There was immediately thunderous applause from the crowd.
They all knew that Shen Meng'an had secretly resold the collective fertilizer from the fertile land and enriched himself. In the future, with Baoguo leading them, such incidents would not happen again. The grain yields they planted would naturally increase, and the days of hunger would definitely become less and less.
Then, Yu Guobao deliberately searched for two figures in the crowd and said to everyone, "In fact, this time, we were able to eradicate this cancer in our village thanks to the new educated youth, Xu Zhiqing and Fu Zhiqing. It was they who went to the county town overnight to expose Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian. Only then were their crimes discovered by Secretary Fang and Shen Mengan arrested. This is all thanks to them. It was they who saved Qingping Bay and brought hope to our team. We should thank them."
There was another round of warm applause from the audience, and the members of the commune began to search for the two men among the educated youth team.
Fu Yunqi didn't contribute much, but his father was praised by the captain. Feeling guilty, he took the initiative to stand up and clarify.
"Hello everyone, I'm the Fu Zhiqing the captain mentioned. But the fact that we were able to bring down those two corrupt officials this time wasn't really my credit. Actually, I was also persecuted by those two corrupt officials, so I should thank Xu Zhiqing as well. It was all thanks to Xu Zhiqing's wit and courage that we were able to bring them down. If you want to thank someone, thank her."
So, everyone's attention was focused on Xu Nuannuan. It turned out that Xu Nuannuan was the savior of their villagers and the great contributor to their cause.
Someone called out to her, "Xu Zhiqing, please stand up and say a few words."
Then the same cry was heard again. Xu Nuannuan actually had nothing to say. The reason why she wanted to overthrow Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian was that she didn't want her parents to be persecuted by them. Of course, she and Fu Yunqi were also troubled because of it. Unexpectedly, she became a great hero in the village.
Xu Nuannuan couldn't refuse the villagers' kind invitation, so she stood up.
"Punishing evil and eradicating evil has always been a matter of justice. As long as there are evildoers in this world, there should be people who stand up and punish them. I simply unintentionally wanted to resist their harassment. The ones who truly eliminated them were our impartial and selfless superiors and public security officials. We should be grateful to them."
She didn't dare take all the credit for such a great achievement on herself, otherwise she would be ignoring Secretary Fang and Director Ma.
Moreover, if there were no good cadres above them, they would not have been able to bring down Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian so easily.
Having said that, everyone knows that for their village, the credit goes to Xu Nuannuan.
Secretary Fang and Director Ma have been here for a long time. If Xu Nuannuan had not come here, even with Secretary Fang and Director Ma, they would still not be able to get rid of the hegemony of the Shen family father and son in the village.
Xu Nuannuan was praised and didn't forget to bring Jiang Ye along: "In fact, we were able to successfully expose them this time thanks to the help of Comrade Jiang Ye. He worked tirelessly to help us get to the county town. I want to thank him."
"I also thank Comrade Jiang Ye." Fu Yunqi smiled.
Someone nearby immediately said, "Jiang Ye is a good guy from our village. Even though he looks fierce, he's a good person."
Mei Xiangcao felt indescribably happy when she heard those praises, especially Xu Nuannuan's praise for Jiang Ye.
It’s a pity that his silly son is not here, otherwise he would not be so happy.
But Zhang Xiaoyan in the crowd was unhappy at this time. Jiang Ye drove Xu Nuannuan to the county town in the middle of the night, and she was afraid that something might happen between Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan.
She could also see that Jiang Ting and Xu Nuannuan were close, so she didn't want to help Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan get closer.
After the meeting, Yu Guobao suggested that the village cook a big pot meal so that everyone could have fun together.
Each villager's family didn't have much food, but even though they didn't have much, they were all very excited. They ate the same food as before, but it seemed to taste even better than before.
In order to eat from the big pot, the villagers were more enthusiastic than each other. They brought grain and vegetables from their homes, built a simple stove, and set up the iron pot, and were busy.
Xu Nuannuan wanted to work with them, but was rejected by them.
"Xu Zhiqing, if it weren't for you, we would still be oppressed by those two bastards. You don't have to do the work, we can do it ourselves."
As transferred personnel, Xu Zhenqing, Fang Suyun and Mo Wuwei did not participate in the election of village cadres. They did not need to go to work today and were all resting in the cowshed.
While others were busy, Xu Nuannuan quietly went to the cowshed to see her parents.
She took a detour to the outside of the cowshed and suddenly saw a familiar figure, it was Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, with a bulge in the front of his clothes, and no one knew what it was filled with, as he walked into the cowshed.
She had no plans to let Jiang Ye know her true identity for the time being, so she didn't go over.
Jiang Ye delivered the firewood to the cowshed, and Fang Suyun and Mo Wuwei hurried to greet him.
"Hey, young man, why are you bringing firewood?"
Jiang Ye put down the firewood and took out a bag from his clothes, which contained a bag of eggs.
