An election in a courtyard house disrupted the daily lives of residents.
For a time, every household was discussing who to choose as the first master, even though the first master had no salary and no actual power.
But it is indeed a symbol of majesty.
People in this era pay most attention to face. Ever since Xu Damao proposed that young people can also run for election, the residents in the yard have also started to think about it.
That’s right, it’s all about freedom to stand for election, the one with the most votes wins, so why can’t I stand for election?
No, Li Xiaomei came back in a hurry and reported: "Brother, Uncle Liu in the backyard just told Aunt Wang that she wanted to choose a master for dinner."
After a while, she came back and reported: "Uncle Niu next door also wants to be a master."
Li Donglai didn't take it seriously. The first uncle had no attraction for him, but it was the highest position that the residents could get in their lives.
It’s no surprise that everyone wants to run for office.
However, when he heard Li Xiaomei say that Qin Huairu also wanted to run for the first position, he almost fell off his chair.
Just kidding, a lesbian became a man.
Can he still be a great man?
She should be called a aunt!
Of course, Qin Huairu didn't think so. In her opinion, she had a natural advantage in running for the first position.
Aren’t the higher-ups now advocating that gay women can support themselves for half a day?
Besides, her old woman was squatting on the fence, the man was lying on the bed unable to move, and the stick was disabled again.
Who is worse than her? It would be unjust for her not to be this great master!
Qin Huairu is also a scheming person. Since she decided to run for the election, she has told no one.
Instead, they visit door to door.
"Sister Wang, have you heard? Our compound is about to elect a grand master."
"Why haven't you heard of it? Xu Damao even goes door to door delivering gifts!"
Qin Huairu glanced sideways at Sister Wang and asked softly: "Tell me, why can't we lesbians run for office?"
Sister Wang was also shocked by her thoughts. She swallowed and spat: "Huairu, do you have a fever? How about I send you to the hospital?"
Qin Huairu raised the corners of her mouth and raised a smile, saying: "Sister Wang, what I said is true."
After Sister Wang confirmed that Qin Huairu was not sick, she smiled bitterly and said: "Huairu, the first master has always been a man. How can a woman be the first master? I think you are confused."
Qin Huairu said: "Sister, you are wrong to think that way. Female comrades can hold up half the sky! How are we lesbians worse than men? We work the same in the workshop, but when we get home, we have to serve those stinky men and children.
, it’s easy for us to serve our parents-in-law!”
Sister Wang nodded with deep sympathy: "It is indeed not easy, but..."
As soon as the words came out, Qin Huairu interrupted: "But what, since we are no worse than men, why can't we be such a big man!"
"If I become a man, I will definitely change the bad habit of some men in our compound beating their wives!"
These words touched Mrs. Wang's heart. Her man liked to beat her when he was drunk.
"I also want to choose the star of filial piety. Sister-in-law, you have served your two parents-in-law so well. I think you should be the star of filial piety." Seeing that she took the bait, Qin Huairu continued to feed the fish.
"Me? Really?" Sister-in-law Wang suddenly became happy. Who doesn't want to be an advanced member?
She looked at Qin Huairu and solemnly promised: "Huairu, don't worry, I will definitely convince my boss to give you a vote when the time comes."
Qin Huairu went out with satisfaction, then moved to another restaurant and told the same words again.
At most, the star of filial piety can be replaced by the star of diligence and thrift, and the star of housekeeping.
After learning from Li Xiaomei that Qin Huairu was so clever, Li Donglai had to give Qin Huairu a thumbs up in his heart.
Maybe it was a mistake for her to be born in this era. If she were in later generations, she might be able to do something great.
Time flows like a river in a hurry. Some people find happiness in the river, and some people get sadness in the river.
In a blink of an eye, the day came for the election of the first master of the Siheyuan.
Under the big tree in the central courtyard, it was not yet dark, and there were already crowds of people surrounding it.
There were still three tables placed in the center of the crowd, with Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong on both sides, but the person sitting among them was not Yi Zhonghai, but Director Wang from the street office.
Seeing that everyone had almost arrived, Liu Haizhong said before Director Wang could speak: "The reason why this meeting was held today is that everyone knows the reason. The previous grandmaster of our courtyard made a mistake and was dismissed by the sub-district office.
, now we have to elect a new master."
"I, Liu Haizhong, have been the second uncle for so many years and I think I am very dedicated to my career, so I am the first to express my intention to run for the first uncle. I hope everyone will support me."
Liu Haizhong also heard a lot of rumors, felt that the situation was serious, and decided to take action first.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bugui stood up: "Everyone must know me Yan Bugui. I am a teacher of Hongxing Primary School, a cultural person, and the third uncle of our compound. If you choose me, our compound
It will be full of cultural atmosphere. When the Chinese New Year comes, I will help you write couplets for free!"
Director Wang's face turned pale when he heard this. These two guys couldn't wait to jump out, already ignoring the rules of the election meeting.
Yan Bugui is still here promising benefits to the masses! This is simply unbearable!
Director Wang patted the table and said in a cold voice: "Shut up, everyone. I am now announcing the official start of the election meeting. Please introduce yourself one by one to the comrades participating in the election. Of course, if the promised thing happens again, I will
His candidacy will be immediately disqualified."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Election is based on true ability. If you make a promise to others, you are not buying votes!"
"That's right, we should be fair, just and open!"
"Fortunately, there are comrades from the subdistrict office supervising today, otherwise I really don't know what the meeting would be like!"
....
During the discussion, Silly Zhu was the first to appear. He chuckled first and then said loudly: "Everyone knows me, He Yuzhu. I am also an old resident of the courtyard. I have troubled you all these years. I have become this one."
Master, you must lead by example."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I have to say that Silly Zhu's introduction was very clever. He said the threat without leaving any trace, and even Director Wang could not do anything about it.
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, several of the old guys lurking in the crowd began to applaud.
"Okay, I think He Yuzhu can be this great man."
"That is, Yi Zhonghai treats He Yuzhu like his own son. He must have been educating him a lot these years."
"He Yuzhu saw that the Jia family was living in difficulty, so he helped the Jia family a lot. He was a warm-hearted person."
....
Silly Zhu waved his hands in a leadership style and was about to leave when a strange feeling came from the crowd.
"Well, I don't know if you are pretending to be confused because you understand. The reason why Silly Zhu helps the Jia family is entirely because he is greedy for Qin Huairu's body!"
The speaker is none other than Xu Damao.
He was already unhappy with Silly Zhu, and since he had lost the qualification to run for election, he naturally wanted to stir up trouble.
Hearing this, Silly Zhu suddenly became furious. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush forward: "Xu Damao, you thief, do you want to be beaten?"
After taking two steps, he realized that he was in an election and the crowd was staring at him.
Turning around to look, I found that Director Wang's face was already livid.
Silly Zhu felt bad, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Well, I was just joking with Comrade Damao just now. You guys also know that the two of us have been playing together since we were young, and we are used to this way of joking."
Yi Zhonghai, who was in the crowd, secretly cursed Sha Zhu as a fool, but had to stand up and help Sha Zhu cover it up: "Yes, Comrade He Yuzhu and Comrade Xu Damao were friends when they were young. They fought each other from childhood to adulthood, and the more they fight, the better their relationship becomes."
Xu Damao wanted to stand up and retort, but when he saw the cold look Yi Zhonghai cast, he could only sit down.
Although Yi Zhonghai has stepped down, the residual power of many years is still there, and Xu Damao is still a little timid.
Silly Zhu got off the stage, and then Qin Huairu came on stage.
Of course, facing a group of big men with voting rights, she did not dare to mention the trick of tricking the old sister-in-law, but pretended to be pitiful.
"I know that I am not qualified to run for the first position, but the big guys also know the situation of my family, and they all say that family scandals should not be made public. But now I don't carry the big guys' backs anymore. I can't even get past my house, and the noodle bowl at home is empty.
Now, my husband is still lying in bed unable to move, and the master of the courtyard has a monthly subsidy of 5 pounds of food stamps. You guys don’t care about this, so I hope you guys can take pity on me."
As she spoke, her face became miserable and she couldn't help but cry. Her pitiful little appearance made everyone who saw it sad and cried.
What's even more outrageous is that everyone suddenly found out that Bangge and Xiaodang had tricked Jia Xudong into it.
Li Dong was dumbfounded when he came to see her. After not seeing her for a few days, her cousin's rank had been improved again. If it was a bronze rank before, it is now a silver rank.
However, although the position of the first man of the courtyard is not an important position, it is not something that can be held by cats and dogs. After all, Qin Huairu is a woman and has short-sightedness. She is probably delusional if she thinks that she can get it by dressing pitifully.
The reason why Yi Zhonghai came to power back then was because of the support from the deaf old lady.
The deaf old lady walked to the center of the crowd and said: "Originally, I, an old woman half-buried in the loess, should not come out to elect the first master. However, I am also a member of the courtyard, so I can also speak!"
Although Director Wang was unwilling, he had to nod his head and said: "The old lady is right. You are the ancestor of the courtyard and have the right to speak."
He is different from his comrades at the police station. The police station only needs to consider whether the suspect has broken the law.
But as the director of the subdistrict office, what he needs to consider more is the stability and unity of the courtyard.
The deaf old lady has great abilities and should not be underestimated.
Seeing that Director Wang had surrendered, the deaf old lady became even more proud and said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, don't avoid relatives when doing internal affairs, and don't avoid suspicion when doing external affairs. The person I want to recommend today is my eldest grandson, He Yuzhu. He is such a person.
Although he is stupid sometimes, he is a very good person and can handle things. As long as everyone chooses him, he will definitely be able to maintain the unity of our compound."
After the words fell, Yi Zhonghai was the first to applaud. Although the residents were reluctant, they had to agree.
Director Wang let out a long sigh. Now that the deaf old lady has come forward, no one can stop her. Now she only hopes that Li Donglai's prestige can be higher than that of the deaf old lady.
"Okay, now the voting officially begins. Everyone, just follow what you just said and put your votes into the box."
