"Village head, I know Cheng Qiao graduated from high school, and I also graduated from high school. I know Cheng Qiao is your daughter-in-law and has priority, but I married a villager and gave the Chen family a son, so I also have priority."
"What does this mean? I don't understand."
A villager asked.
"She meant that Cheng Qiao is no longer an educated youth, but a member of Xiangyang Village. She is also married to Chen Dazhu, so she is also a member of Xiangyang Village. She told Huanzi not to use the back door."
"This woman is so annoying. She talks in circles. No one can understand her. No, hasn't she divorced Dazhu? How can she still be considered a member of Xiangyang Village after the divorce?"
Xu Laidi's face turned pale after hearing this, but she did not regret the divorce. Otherwise, she would not have been able to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and she would not even have been able to work in the factory. How could a family member of a criminal have such a right
"My fellow villagers, let me first announce that my daughter Cheng Qiao does not want the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Although she is qualified, my daughter-in-law is of high moral character and will give this quota to a villager who has made contributions."
"good… "
Chen Weidang was the first to applaud. He really applauded Cheng Qiao. If he were the village chief and had this indicator in his hand, he might have secretly got it for his own son.
"Xu Laidi is really stupid this time. Cheng Qiao could have gone to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University but she didn't want to go. Just based on her, I'm the first one to disagree."
"I don't agree either. Although I haven't received any education, I know that a person with bad character will become worse after going to college, so I firmly disagree with Xu Laidi going to college."
"I don't agree either..."
The almost unanimous shouts from the villagers made Xu Laidi pale. He kept comforting himself, "When I become rich and when I get to the top, I will definitely make you idiots pay."
"Huanzi, you can tell who you want to give it to. Just because Cheng Zhiqing is so righteous, we will all support you."
"My opinion is to give it to Chen Damao. It was because of him that our village was able to catch the human traffickers and was awarded the title of advanced collective."
"Huanzi, our village's title of advanced collective was earned by you. It was you who caught the two wanted criminals and beat them up. That's why our village became an advanced collective."
"Yes, I did make a contribution the first time and won the title of advanced collective for our Xiangyang Village, but the title was taken away by some people who made mistakes."
Everyone looked at Chen Weimin with unfriendly eyes. Chen Weimin leaned against a tree trunk and sulked. After being beaten for no reason, his mind became much clearer. He kept thinking about Chen Chunhua's heart-wrenching cry:
"Dad, I just like the second-rate guy. He is a capable man. If you don't let me marry the second-rate guy, you will regret it."
Li Huan saw everyone's disgusted actions, and laughed in his heart. He coughed and continued:
"Everyone still remembers the human traffickers, right? It was Damao who risked his own life to save Gousheng, and helped our village regain the title of an advanced collective."
The villagers all lowered their heads, and Gousheng's parents immediately stood up and expressed their support for Chen Damao to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
"Fellow villagers, I have decided to give the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University to Chen Damao. Those who support this, please raise your hands. Let me see if you are reasonable and have courage."
When people heard Li Huan talk about being sensible and courageous, even those who didn't want to raise their hands raised their hands. In case they were scolded for being cowardly and unreasonable in the future, they would never raise their heads as a human being.
Seeing the almost 100% passing rate, Li Huan smiled happily, waved to Chen Damao, handed him a cowhide envelope tied with a big red ribbon, and asked him to get ready because he would have to report to Chuncheng after the New Year.
Chen Weidang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. Although he was removed from the position of village chief, he still had a certain say in this village because of Li Huan.
Now, not only has his eldest daughter become a formal employee of the supply and marketing cooperative, but his eldest son has also gone to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. These benefits were given to him by Li Huan. He has no way to repay him and can only work hard for Li Huan.
When Li Huan saw Damao running home with the cowhide envelope in his hands as if it were a rare treasure, he smiled and asked everyone to wait, saying that he had another benefit for everyone.
When the villagers heard the word "welfare", they turned around and looked at Li Huan. Li Huan waved his arm, and Shouhou and Wang Xiangyang came over carrying a bamboo basket.
"Here is the soap I got through various means. The supply and marketing cooperative sells it for 40 cents a piece, 20 cents and a half a dollar, and they also need a soap ticket. The price I got is 10 cents and a half a dollar, and no ticket is required."
"Huanzi, why is it so much cheaper?"
"Because there are defects. You can see that there is a missing corner here and a crack there. Also, people who are temporarily short of money can use work points to offset the damage."
"I want two..."
Aunt Wang was the first to shout. Soap is a good thing. She had always been reluctant to buy it, but ever since Cheng Qiao gave her a piece, the clothes she washed were really clean.
"I want four..."
Cuihua took out forty cents. She knew that the soaps in the supply and marketing cooperative were rarely defective. Even if there were, at most they would not require a ticket and would be sold at a discount of two or five cents. How could they be sold at half the price
Soon, the whole basket of soap was sold out. By the time those who were originally waiting and watching decided to buy some, their baskets were already empty.
"Huanzi, where's the soap?"
“Sold out.”
"Why so fast?"
"It wasn't much to begin with, and I didn't even get a single piece myself."
"This... can we still get it?"
"No, why don't you try it."
The villagers lowered their heads. If he had this ability, he would have become the village chief long ago. Why was he still standing here being criticized
Everyone who bought the soap went back happily. They were discussing the indicators of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, the soap in their hands, and hoping that Li Huan would ring the gong every day to call everyone together.
Li Huan was very understanding. The next day, the gong was struck again. Everyone ran to the threshing ground excitedly, and even left their small stools behind. In case there was something good, they still had to take care of their own small stools, which was too troublesome.
"Huanzi, what good news is coming?"
Li Huan laughed, picked up the loudspeaker and asked everyone to be quiet, and then his first words were for the security team members to step out.
Apart from the few people who were expelled, every household had a member of the security team, so the scene was extremely spectacular. Li Huan smiled and nodded, and announced another decision:
"This year's harvest is not as good as in previous years, so everyone understands that this year's grain prices are expected to be higher than last year. So in order for us to have a good New Year, I plan to organize a hunting team."
Everyone's mood changed from depressed to excited. There are pheasants, wild rabbits, wild ducks, wild boars, wild wolves and even leopards in the mountains. If you go to the mountains alone, you don't know who will eat whom.
