Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 74 The old village head abdicates ([-])
In front of her, there were three tables with a large wooden box on them.

Liu Qingcao looked at the box, bowed her head in thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

She seemed to know the content of this meeting.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Dahe came out of the house and walked outside the house. He scanned the surrounding people with chaotic eyes.

"Folks, everyone is quiet and quiet. I called everyone here today, and I really have something to discuss with everyone."

Jiang Dahe paused, turned his head to look at Li Shumei aggrievedly, Li Shumei glared at him, turned his head and did not speak.

"Oh, I'm old and I don't have the energy to manage the affairs of the village anymore. The younger generation is full of talents. It's time for me to abdicate and let a capable younger generation take over this position."

"Dajiang, you're only 41. How old are you? It's my old bones that are going to grow old. You're not." Zhao Cheng looked at Jiang Dahe disapprovingly, although Jiang Dahe hadn't made any achievements in these years , but did not let the village have any major incidents, it has been quiet.

According to the current law, the position of the village head should be held until he can't move or die of old age. If there are no major mistakes, the position of the village head will not be changed midway.

"Yes, yes, some time ago, I saw Village Chief Jiang go down the fields to thresh grain, and he was more energetic than me."

"Village Chief Jiang, you can be the village chief. It's been more than ten years, and we're all used to it."

"Village Chief Jiang, we don't have that in mind, you should continue to be the village chief of our village."

"Yes, go ahead."

……

Hearing what everyone said, Jiang Dahe's eyes lit up, and his heart was secretly happy. Just as he was about to speak, a coughing sound came from behind.

Jiang Dahe's jumping body was startled suddenly, his legs almost gave way and he fell to the ground.

Li Shumei stepped forward slowly, and spoke in a helpless tone.

"Fellow folks, Dahe has been in this position for more than ten years. Everyone must know that he was singled out to be the village chief. He had no experience. He also worked hard and wanted to lead everyone to live a better life together. However, these Years, there has been no improvement, he is also worried, can't eat well, sleep well, he has been thinking about it for a long time."

"Shumei, I"

Li Shumei made a sharp move, and Jiang Dahe shut up awkwardly. Seeing that Jiang Dahe was sensible, she stopped talking, and faced the people in front of her, she spoke again in a miserable tone:
"The family members felt sad seeing him like this, and originally planned to delay it like this, and wait until the right time to tell the big guy.

Now is the right time. Now Shihe Village is not like Shihe Village in the past. In the past, our neighbors were more than ten meters away from each other. Done. "

"Village Chief Jiang has worked hard." As soon as the words fell, the villagers began to discuss.

"Yeah, we don't even know that Village Chief Jiang has done so much for us all these years, alas!"

"Hey! No wonder Village Chief Jiang is so thin. It turns out that he is working hard for us day and night."

"Oh, it's really hard work."

The villagers' discussions reached Jiang Dahe's ears, and he was so ashamed that he lowered his head.

Seeing that the time had come, Li Shumei coughed softly again:
"Now everyone gets along in harmony, talking and laughing freely, so today, let's take this opportunity to re-elect a new village chief to lead everyone to live a better life. Age is not a problem. As long as you have responsibilities and responsibilities, you can recommend them. That's good. Let Dahe take care of his body with peace of mind."

"Well, this is how to choose. We don't know who to choose. Otherwise, Village Chief Jiang will continue to be in front of us. Let's wait for Village Chief Jiang to take care of himself."

"Yeah, the position of the village head is not something that can be taken just for granted. We haven't been out much for more than ten years, and we don't know how to deal with the officials!"

"Yeah, Village Chief Jiang, just face it, don't worry so much, our village will get better and better."

"..." Li Shumei frowned, why are these people so uncivilized, can't they just learn! ?
Liu Qingcao stood aside, looked at Li Shumei's gritted teeth, lowered her head and snickered.

"Stop!" Li Shumei took a deep breath and interrupted them with a deep voice.

"You don't need to persuade any more. Dahe has already made up his mind on this matter, so you don't need to persuade him anymore. After the new village chief is elected, he will take some time to let the new village chief understand the position of village chief thoroughly, and then let go. Of course, even if Dahe retreats, for the sake of everyone, he will urge the new village chief to make him a qualified village chief."

"Dahe, what do you think?" Li Shumei turned her head, with a smile on her lips, and asked in a gentle tone.

Jiang Dahe was bitter in his heart, but he managed to pull out a smile.

"Shumei is right, I will definitely bring the new village head out hand in hand, please rest assured."

"Father, are you tired? Sit down and rest for a while. Mother will do the rest." Jiang Dafu brought a back chair from the room, walked to Jiang Dahe's side, and thoughtfully helped him sit on it .

Li Shumei looked at Jiang Dafu, gave him an appreciative look, then nodded and said to the villagers.

"Now, it's time to choose a new village head. Let's discuss with twenty people first, and choose the person you think can be the village head. Remember, it must be a person who is responsible and dares to be a person who is not afraid of hardship. , it is best to be able to read and write, after all, the notice posted by the government office will be used."

"Can write!? This is not easy." Zhao Cheng looked at the people around him in difficulty, not knowing what to do.

"Uncle Zhao, you can learn it if you don't know how to do it, but it's best to learn the basic characters before Lizheng comes to collect taxes." Li Shumei comforted her with a smile.

Zhao Cheng sighed softly, it was so easy to read and practice calligraphy. Looking at the discussions around him, Zhao Cheng shifted his gaze to the two brothers Jiang Dafu who were beside Jiang Dahe.

The discussion lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and then slowly stopped. Li Shumei looked at the crowd with a smile on her face, and said slowly:
"Everyone has already discussed it, so let's go ahead and invite the person you selected to come forward."

"Dafu, Dayin, come out." Zhao Cheng's voice was so loud that all the people around looked at the person next to the village chief.

Suddenly, there was heated discussion among the crowd again. They seemed to have forgotten that there were two people beside Village Chief Jiang.

"Go out." Li Shumei smiled slightly, and patted the shoulders of her two sons.

"continue!"

"Jiang Li..."

"Tian Lin..."

"Wu Zhi..."

"Thank you Guang..."

"Luo Zhaodi..."

"Xiong Wu..."

"Is there any more? Tell me if you have any. If you choose a village chief, you can go home for dinner." Li Shumei looked around, and she knew these people more or less.

"I have." Jiang Dafu looked down and suddenly said.

"Let's talk." Li Shumei glanced at him and raised her eyebrows.

"Willow grass!"

Jiang Dafu's voice was loud and firm, Liu Qingcao didn't expect someone to call her, and was shocked in place.

"Come here, Qingcao." Li Shumei smiled, looking at Liu Qingcao, who looked dazed, and said softly.

Liu Qingcao just wanted to refuse, but was pulled up by Li Shumei.

At this moment, she was standing in front of a group of adults with an embarrassed expression, so embarrassed that she wanted to punch a hole and hide herself!
"Right now, everyone here is an excellent candidate chosen by everyone, but there is only one village head, so the nine of you have to vote and choose the one you approve of."

"This is a piece of paper with your name written on it. Each of you has eight pieces of paper. You can vote except yourself. Choose the person in your heart and put it into this wooden box. After the end, the person with the most votes will be elected."

Jiang Dafu handed the paper with the written names on to the other eight people. Some of them could not read. Jiang Dafu read them to him in order and asked him to remember them in his heart.

"Dafu, you come first."

Li Shumei asked Jiang Dafu to vote first, followed by Jiang Dayin, one by one until the last...

"Okay, next, I'll start tidying up."

Li Shumei poured all the small papers in the box on the empty table, and began to arrange them neatly one by one.

Three for Jiang Dafu, one for Jiang Dayin, and six for Liu Qingcao!
Liu Qingcao frowned and looked at the small piece of paper on the table, feeling panicked inside.

Who voted for this!

"Hey, Qingcao, congratulations." Jiang Dafu looked at Liu Qingcao and smiled.

Liu Qingcao looked at him like this, and secretly scolded him in her heart, but didn't show it on her face.

"Brother Jiang, I can't do it."

"Qingcao, although you are young, I know that you are the most suitable person to lead everyone to live a good life." Jiang Dafu shook his head and said firmly.

"Yes, Qingcao." Tian Lin also took a step forward and agreed.

"That's right, Green Grass, you gave us the method of farming for free, and solved the problem of tax money for most people. You also took care of the children in the village. Everyone sees this, and it is also a real thing. You do this. The village chief couldn't be more appropriate."

Jiang Li stepped forward and directly put these things she did in front of everyone. Those who were still hesitant suddenly understood.

That's right, these things Liu Qingcao did made them feel ashamed of adults. These things have nothing to do with age, but have something to do with people.

"grass?"

Seeing that she was silent, several people hurriedly called out.

Liu Qingcao sighed and said:

"Brothers and sisters-in-law, thank you for your approval, but I think brother Jiang is more suitable to be the village head of our village.

The reason why I say this is also because Brother Jiang has lived here for so many years, he will know this place better than me, and the procedures of this government office are also more familiar. Things, when the time comes, many things will be difficult to deal with, and it will delay work. "

"This……"

"What Qingcao said is not unreasonable, but it's not a big problem. If you want to go to the government office in the future, just ask Dafu to accompany you." Li Shumei stepped forward, looked at Liu Qingcao and said with a smile.

Liu Qingcao frowned, it seemed that today's meeting was specially prepared for her.

"Aunt Li, listen to me, this is not the only reason." Liu Qingcao smiled slightly, turned around, and faced everyone.

"Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, one thing is that I am young, and another is that I want to go out for a walk in the future. Jiang Bei is studying in the town. If he can do it, he will go to the county seat. He only has me. Darling, I have to stay with him."

The other half, Liu Qingcao, she didn't say, that is Shihe Village, just the starting point of her development, she won't stay here forever, her goal is far away...

"So, Brother Jiang is the most suitable head of our village. Of course, this is not something that Brother Jiang can do alone. It requires the efforts of the entire Shihe Village."

"Okay, well said." Zhao Cheng was the first to applaud after listening, especially the last sentence, which made his blood boil.

"Okay, that's right, let's work hard together."

……

Li Shumei and Jiang Dafu looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"Brother Jiang, you are the son of the village chief Jiang. You have seen a lot and been exposed to a lot. You can also read and write. You will be a village chief very quickly. You don't need to spend too much time to get familiar with it. You can do well. All of us I also believe in you, please believe in yourself, you will be a good village head."

Liu Qingcao walked up to Jiang Dafu, and put her ticket into Jiang Dafu's hands, her eyes were full of affirmation.

"This……"

Jiang Dafu looked at his mother in embarrassment. Today's meeting was specially prepared for Liu Qingcao. They all believed that Liu Qingcao was capable of leading Shihe Village out of poverty. Although she was young, she They have seen everything they have done during this period of time. They are capable, thoughtful, and responsible. These are all in line with the requirements of being a village head.

"Qingcao is right. If you want everyone to get rich, you can't do it alone. You have to rely on everyone. Qingcao's footsteps will not stop in Shihe Village. We can't stop her footsteps. If she goes out, we will naturally Go out." Li Shumei looked at Liu Qingcao softly, with expectation in her bright eyes.

Liu Qingcao froze for a moment, then smiled:
"Aunt Li, you are right, this is my root, how could I forget?"

"Okay, then follow everyone's wishes, Dafu will be the new village head of our Shihe Village from now on."

After receiving Liu Qingcao's affirmative answer, Li Shumei finally let go of her hanging heart. She was right, Liu Qingcao was different.

"Congratulations, Brother Jiang. In the future, we will all work together to get rid of poverty and become rich." Liu Qingcao smiled and congratulated Jiang Dafu, who was still in a daze.

Jiang Dafu's whole body is about to petrify at this time, why did his mother decide, he, he can't do it either!

"Dafu, what are you doing? I'll congratulate you again from Qingcao." Li Shumei moved to Jiang Dafu's hand, where no one else could see, and twisted the soft flesh on his waist. Jiang Dafu's thoughts were pulled back.

Enduring the pain, Jiang Dafu squeezed out a helpless smile.

"I'll try……"

"Brother Jiang, you can do it. If you don't believe me, ask the people in our village what do they think of you after getting along with you during this time?"

"Dafu, from now on you just give orders, we will definitely not hold you back." Tian Lin stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him an affirmative answer.

"Yeah, we all saw it, there is no one more suitable than you here except Qingcao." Jiang Li also echoed.

"Yeah, Dafu, Qingcao says you can do it, and you will be fine. The silence of our village for more than ten years, in exchange for you promising young people, it's worth it."

Zhao Cheng said gratifiedly that the people in their Shihe village were all fellow travelers who had suffered adversity. They had not been born for so many years, and the neighbors were strangers, but fortunately, everyone still had the same heart, and we will work together in the future , will catch up with the next village.

"Okay, I will live up to my trust."

At this moment, Jiang Dafu looked at the people around him with firm eyes. If someone in Shihe Village must stand out, let him try it. They are already the worst ones. If they fail, they are just staying where they are.

What else does he have to be afraid of!
