On the evening of the third day after Shen Wanyuan's funeral, the sunset came to Nangang Village. When she learned the news of the death of the old village chief, the little girl was a little sad. Thinking about the fact that the old village chief had some hostility towards her during his lifetime, in general It's still good, but Teacher Xi didn't scream much.
After seeing Shen Sanquan, Xiyang found that Xiao Diaomin was quite haggard, probably due to the hard work these days. His eyes were bloodshot and his body had obviously lost a lot of weight. However, when he saw himself, he Still smiling so brightly.
"Teacher Xi, long time no see." Shen Sanquan said with a smile.
Xiyang nodded, "Are you busy? I don't even see you coming to school."
Shen Sanquan was stunned for a moment. This little girl started teasing her nonchalantly, and asked shamelessly, "What? You want me to be your student?"
"Just you?" Xiyang stared at him and said a little playfully: "Don't say that I exposed your shortcomings. I have heard Teacher Zhu tell you that you used to be in the bottom three, even your own I didn’t learn my name until I was in the third grade. I could only write three characters before.”
"Teacher Zhu really doesn't understand why he doesn't slap people in the face when he hits them, and he doesn't understand why he doesn't expose his shortcomings when he scolds them."
"Who told you not to study hard?" After saying that, the little girl raised her head and looked at Shen Sanquan closely with her big watery eyes, "Don't be sad, everyone has this day."
Shen Sanquan nodded, "I can be open-minded. Besides, Uncle Wan Yuan is gone now, which may be a relief for him. That unfortunate disease can really torment people, making living even more painful!"
"Just think about it, how is Shen Tian?" Xiyang asked again. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to know more about Shen Tian. Maybe this was the understanding between women of knowing themselves and their enemies, and they would never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Shen Sanquan sighed, "I'm still sad now. I haven't eaten for several days. I'm thinking of going to the reservoir to catch some crucian carp to replenish her health."
As Sunset listened, a sour feeling came to her heart, and she murmured, "Shen Tian is so happy."
"Come with me!" Shen Sanquan said with a smile, "It's still early now. I'll take you to school after dinner."
Xiyang nodded, this dead ghost actually still had some weight in his heart.
Passing by Shen Wanyuan's cemetery, Shen Sanquan walked over as usual, looked at it quietly for a while, and then slowly walked down the reservoir.
Speaking of catching fish, the little Diaomin's skills are really impressive. After putting on his waders, he calmly walked into the grid made of fishing nets, took a fish net bag, and with a few taps, he walked through the lattice made of fishing nets. I took out a few big live fish and looked at them. I seemed dissatisfied, so I threw them back and fished them out again. It wasn't until two fat and strong big crucian carp appeared in the net bag that I went ashore with satisfaction. Watching the setting sun, "Ask grandma to cook one for you tonight, and give the other to Xiaotian."
Sunset was a little surprised when she heard this. It seemed that Shen Sanquan had always been thinking about him.
As soon as the two returned to the village, Shen Yan ran over from a distance. When he saw Shen Sanquan, he shouted loudly: "Brother, come back quickly."
"What's wrong?" Shen Sanquan asked.
"There will be a meeting in the village tonight."
"What's the meeting?"
"Let's elect the village chief. I heard that you also have a quota. I support you." Shen Yan said with a smile.
When Shen Sanquan heard this, he was not surprised. On the contrary, Xiyang next to him happily raised his fist and clenched it hard, "Shen Sanquan, come on! Come on!"
Shen Sanquan sent crucian carp to Shen Tian's family. The little girl was even more haggard than him. The mother and daughter sat in the room in a daze, watching Shen Sanquan arrive before deliberately showing a smile.
Shen Sanquan knew that the only man in the family had fallen. It was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the mother and daughter, but life still had to go by. God would not be extra merciful to you just because he took pity on you. Money would fall from the world. for you.
"Aunt, don't be sad, won't you still have me if anything happens in the future?" Shen Sanquan said.
Xu Haiying nodded, and a stream of tears flowed out unconsciously. Shen Tian next to her quickly took the towel and wiped it with her mother.
"Xiaotian, the same goes for you. If anyone bullies you, tell Brother Sanquan that I won't fix him."
Shen Tian looked at Shen Sanquan blankly, how she hoped that this little naughty man meant to take care of him for the rest of his life.
Grandma Shen was particularly happy about the arrival of the sunset. She laid out a table full of delicious food. As she watched the little girl eating with relish, Grandma Shen began to fantasize again. The four of them were sitting together and really missed being a family.
After receiving the notice, the villagers all had their meals early. The election of the village chief is a very meaningful matter, which determines the future development direction of Nangang Village. Everyone is also very enthusiastic.
The threshing floor naturally became the venue for the meeting. Participants brought their own benches and tea was not provided.
The entire meeting was in chaos. There were chatter, noises, and children crying one after another. Children were running around like crazy. The women were huddled together discussing the hardships of life and gossiping, while the men were talking. Smoking, the long dry chimney was glowing red, and the smoke was thick, but Shen Sanquan and the younger generation were smoking high-grade cigarettes and sitting on a pile of blue bricks next to them. These bricks were still Those that were not used up when Shen Wanyuan was buried were temporarily placed here. Sunset followed Shen Yan and led a group of his students to form Yuncheng Er. Xiao Fangzheng also sat down under a big tree not far away.
The meeting officially started. Looking at the noisy venue, the old accountant couldn't control it, so he had to ask Shen Qingyun next to him to call Comrade Sanquan.
Shen Sanquan took the lead, brought a plastic bucket and a wooden stick for washing clothes, jumped on the table, and started banging hard, "Comrades and fellow villagers, the meeting is about to begin!"
After repeating it again, the sound became much quieter, but it was still noisy. Shen Sanquan struck again. After three drums, the military morale finally stabilized, and the scene became silent.
The old accountant also started to appear. He cleared his throat, looked at the folks in the audience, and bowed deeply.
The audience burst into laughter. These country bumpkins who have never seen the world know how to create an atmosphere.
The old accountant imitated the great man's gesture and pressed his hand down. Looking at the crowd, his voice began to change a little and became more solemn.
"Comrades and fellow villagers, today is a special day. It is a good day for our Nangang Village to elect the village chief!"
I just finished speaking, and I don’t know who took the lead. All the folks at the meeting applauded, and the atmosphere was very good. The old accountant’s face suddenly glowed red, and he pressed his hands again.
"Comrades, as you all know, our beloved village chief Comrade Shen Wanyuan has just passed away. We are all very sad. Comrade Shen Wanyuan was a good comrade. He lived a great life and died gloriously!"
Applause again, the old accountant is really not a fool, he copied Chairman Mao’s words in memory of Comrade Liu Hulan.
"Folks, as the saying goes, a family cannot be without an owner for a day, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and our Nangang Village cannot be without a village chief for a day, don't you think so?"
"Yes" the villagers shouted loudly, in high spirits.
"As a village leader, you must be strict with yourself, think about everyone at all times, know how to contribute, and know how to make selfless contributions. Comrade Shen Wanyuan has done a good job in this, and everyone should learn from him."
"Learn from the village chief" the villagers shouted again.
Suddenly a very discordant voice rang out, "Learn from the village chief and defeat Japanese imperialism!"
"Down with the reactionaries!"
"Ha ha"
"The Japanese have already surrendered, why are they still fighting?"
"Quiet, don't talk nonsense! Who is that? If you keep shouting, you will be disqualified from the meeting!" The old accountant got angry and said loudly.
Shen Sanquan saw the right moment and knocked on the surface of the barrel several times, and the scene became silent again.
Sunset beside him was already smiling, hugging his belly and bending down.
"Folks, in this season of flowers blooming and falling, we bid farewell to the old village head and welcome the new village head. Our Nangang Village must continue to move forward along the lines of our revolutionary predecessors. Therefore, we must elect a person who can The person who leads Nangang Village towards a happy life." No one spoke this time. The old accountant looked around and said, "After a unanimous decision by the Nangang Village Committee, we selected three more representative figures. They are all our Nangang people. The pillars of the village, they are”
Just as the old accountant was about to report the candidate list, another very discordant voice sounded.
"I choose Shen Sanquan!"
Everyone looked behind them and saw the little demon monk standing on the green bricks, holding a cigarette in his mouth and shouting loudly and confidently.
