"Based on the results of the investigation, we have decided to remove Chen Weidang from his position as village chief in Xiangyang Village. In addition, we are convening a village representative meeting today and asking the villagers to vote and elect new village cadres in a timely manner,"
Not only was Chen Weimin stunned, but all the villagers in Xiangyang Village looked at the leader who was speaking in disbelief. Chen Weidang was usually a fair person and he was a good cadre.
But no one dared to speak out. Everyone knew that Chen Weidang was implicated by Chen Weimin. If they spoke rashly, they would not know what the consequences would be.
"Villagers, our commune has a candidate. If you agree that he should be the village chief, please stand on the right. If you disagree, please stand on the left. No one is allowed to abstain."
Seeing that no one spoke, the commune leader picked up the loudspeaker and shouted again, and this time there was finally a response.
"Who is it?"
"How should I know?"
"It can't be Chen Shuigen."
"Fuck you, you might as well do it."
"Our candidate is Comrade Li Huan. He was commended by the commune and the Public Security Bureau for his brave fight against criminals years ago. So villagers, please vote."
Li Huan opened his mouth wide and scratched his ears, not being able to believe what he heard. The villagers also went from whispering to total silence.
"I agree."
Chen Weidang walked to the right without hesitation. He knew Li Huan. Although he behaved a little bit like a gangster, he had a good heart. Cuihua's eyes were red, but she followed her man's pace.
"I agree."
Aunt Wang also walked out. Wang Duocai was still hesitating and was pushed out by Wang Xianghua. Lele's second brother being the village chief would only bring benefits to their family and no harm.
Uncle Niu silently walked to the right, Ye Jun also walked over, Chen Dazhu raised his head, walked over quickly, and pulled Xu Laidie, who was unwilling at all, over.
All the educated youth at the educated youth center also walked over. Li Huan looked at Chai Jianmin and Wang Qin, a little confused. They were not on good terms with Cheng Qiao, so why did they agree to it
When the villagers saw Chen Weidang also walking over, they looked at each other, moved their steps and walked to the right. Soon, only the families of Fenqiu and Chen Weimin were left standing stupidly in the distance.
"Do you disagree? Please tell me why you disagree."
The commune leader narrowed his eyes, and Fenqiu was so scared that he ran to the right, explaining as he walked: "Comrade leader, I don't disagree, I'm just so happy. Li Huan's eldest brother is my son-in-law."
The commune leader was shocked. Li Huan's elder brother was a soldier and had no right to get married privately. Li Huan bit his back teeth in anger, but now was not the time to hit anyone.
"Reporting to the leader, we are not officially married yet. We need to be brought to the military district for a period of time to test it out."
The commune leader nodded with satisfaction. Is that right? If you marry into such a family, you will be dragged to death by them.
Seeing that the villagers unanimously agreed that Li Huan should be the village chief, the commune leaders asked Li Huan to go to the commune tomorrow to handle the formalities and then prepared to leave.
"Dear leaders, it's getting late now. Why don't you go to my house for a quick meal? Village chief, no, old village chief, you can come too. Aunt Cuihua, my wife is pregnant. Can you lend a hand?"
"good… "
Cuihua was moved and walked towards the foot of the mountain. Several commune leaders looked at each other and nodded. They were indeed hungry, so they wanted to see if this boy was smart.
Wang Xianghua had already told Cheng Qiao the good news. Cheng Qiao knew that it was time for a family dinner, so she asked Wang Xianghua to call Li's mother and Li Le back because she needed help.
Then he took out refined white flour from the space, three parts refined white flour and one part corn flour, mixed them together to make dumpling skins, and took out a piece of pork belly with fat and lean meat, as well as various sauces.
When Cheng Qiao cut the meat into small pieces and prepared to mince it, Li's mother and Cuihua arrived. The three adults and two little girls worked together, and soon the dumplings were placed on the lid.
Cheng Qiao took out another chicken from the kitchen cabinet, chopped it up and put it in a big pot to cook chicken soup. She also put some angelica and other medicinal herbs in the chicken soup, just for making dumpling soup.
Cuihua's eyes flickered when she saw Cheng Qiao being so extravagant. She felt sad when she thought of the pork and other good things that Li Huan would send to her home every Chinese New Year.
My husband has been dismissed from his position as village chief. This little rascal will probably never come to visit again. Oh, it's all Chen Weimin's fault. They raised such a bastard and brought trouble to their family.
When Cheng Qiao heard voices outside, she quickly got a kettle and a bowl from the kitchen, and of course brown sugar. It was so cold that one would freeze into a fool if he stayed outside for an hour.
As soon as a few people walked into the living room, a warm breeze hit their noses and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air. A few people looked around and were surprised to see a pot of bright red flowers on the dining table.
There are still flowers in this season, but when they touched them, they realized that they were artificial flowers made of paper. However, there must be something sprinkled on the artificial flowers, which gave off a fragrance.
"Who made this? It's quite novel. There's something sprinkled on the paper."
"This is some kind of rose my wife made, sprinkled with floral water, but it's been a long time, and the fragrance has dissipated."
Li Huan replied proudly that his wife always came up with something new and interesting that would refresh his eyes and ears.
"Well, this is good. Otherwise, the room would be airtight with a fire wall burning, and the air would smell bad."
"That's what the leader said. I'll ask my wife to make some more in a few days, sprinkle some floral water on them, and send them to your office. My wife is very skillful and can make roses and trumpet flowers..."
The commune leader nodded with satisfaction. The door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful young lady came in with a kettle. They all felt that Li Huan was really lucky.
It's not like they really don't know anything about Liu Yong. Cheng Qiao is so beautiful, and Liu Yong took a fancy to her and recommended her to be a teacher at the No. 1 Primary School. Of course, he had some ulterior motive.
But now that he has been fired, the position of primary school teacher will certainly not be taken back, otherwise the principal himself would not know what excuse to use.
Everyone was holding a bowl of strong brown sugar ginger tea, and their foreheads were sweating from drinking it. After a short break, Li's mother and Cuihua also came in with several large bowls of pork dumplings.
Looking at the dumplings wrapped like little pigs, several people started drooling. Although they were leaders of the commune, they did not eat dumplings often.
But when they took a sip of the dumpling soup, they all looked at each other in surprise, because it turned out that this was not just ordinary dumpling soup, but a soup cooked with chicken.
At this moment, several people had a better impression of the Li family. You know, Chen Weidang has been the village chief for more than ten years, and they have never eaten a single meal in his family.
