Chapter 467 Take it seriously
A few days later, the police comrades came to the Construction Brigade again with the property belonging to the Yi family.
The commune officials were also present, as they were going to decide who would be the new village officials today. As for the previous batch, they were still in cages, awaiting their verdict.
The sharp-eyed villagers have already seen familiar objects in the full baskets, and they feel very uncomfortable.
The old Taoist priest received them, and then before work ended at noon, he called everyone to gather together, and used a loudspeaker to call on Yi Chi and the educated youth who were not working to come quickly.
Jiang Yu put down the carving knife in her hand and glanced at Yi Chi who was roasting sweet potatoes for her in the yard. "Do you think they called us over for something?"
"I don't know. This sweet potato will take a while. Let's go over and take a look first?" Yi Chi stood up and scooped some water from the bucket beside him to rinse his fingertips that were stained with dust.
Jiang Yu also stood up, pinched the four corners of the coarse cloth on his legs, caught the wood chips inside, and put them on the firewood pile. Then he washed his hands, shook off the water droplets and walked out.
Chen Jinghan appeared from some corner and went to the brigade headquarters with Jiang Yu and the others.
However, Yi Chi was stopped by the police who were carrying things. The police put the things they brought on the ground and said, "Come on, hand them over!"
"Didn't you tell me to go to the commune to get it in a few days? Why are you giving it to me now?" Yi Chi looked at the basket, then at the young policeman with a sweaty face, and asked.
"We also need to help you get the beams and bricks back today, so we brought these things to you as well." The police officer explained.
All the people who could get to the brigade headquarters stood in the open space. Looking at the unfamiliar faces in front of them, the aunts and uncles couldn't control their mouths and started talking loudly.
The old Taoist priest took the gong in his hand and knocked it twice, "Be quiet! Stop talking nonsense!"
The villagers were not afraid of him, but considering the presence of an outsider, they gradually quieted down and became more peaceful.
The old accountant didn't have a very good expression on his face. He stood in the corner with a frown on his face, as if someone owed him money.
The old Taoist waited until everyone shut up before introducing them. "These commune cadres are here today to arrange work. Welcome everyone! Recently, a lot of things have happened in our brigade. The fate of Zhuang Shouren and others is still unclear. In order to ensure that our brigade can continue to operate normally, the commune has decided to re-arrange the brigade cadres. This is a good thing. After all, we old guys are getting old, and we are unable to do many jobs. I have been walking back and forth in the fields all day, and it is a bit too much for me. So I am looking forward to the brigade to confirm the new leadership team as soon as possible, so that I can also take a breath. Come, let's warmly welcome the leaders to our construction brigade."
"Clap, clap, clap!" Warm but perfunctory applause.
Several younger leaders pursed their lips, feeling that this construction team was not very friendly.
But they didn't care about other people's attitudes. This was a simple task. They just needed to let the villagers select a few suitable people and then vote anonymously. They came here just to organize everyone to participate.
The false politeness ended here. After a few young cadres explained the voting method and rules, they found a wall and started selecting people.
When they were told to vote for their own leadership, the talents in the brigade stopped their perfunctory attitude, and began to turn their heads like spinning tops, looking around and picking and choosing to see who could be qualified for the position of brigade cadre.
The educated youths stood in the corner. Fang Qianqian slumped down with a tired look on her face. "This has nothing to do with us. Why are you asking us to come here?"
"It shows they are fair and just." said He Chongwen's good brother.
"It's so boring. Look at those women. When you tell them to vote, they immediately stretch their necks like geese. If you don't know, you would think they were elected officials. They are so proud." He Yuanchao mocked the women who didn't get along with him in a sarcastic way, and he said it openly without even holding back his voice.
The women standing in the back row suddenly looked gloomy, but they just turned around and gave her a blank look without saying anything back.
The main reason is that the educated youth have been too crazy these days. Any random word can make them jump up and look for a fight, as if they have eaten dynamite and will explode at any time.
Seeing that they didn't respond, He Yuanchao tutted, crossed his arms and shut up in boredom.
Huang Ranbo had just been talking to Lin Si about digging traps in the mountains. When he heard the noise, he turned around and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
"Those villagers are not responding now. It's all your fault. You scared them." He Yuanchao spoke to him casually and in a presumptuous tone. He even glanced at him sideways after he finished speaking.
Huang Ranbo laughed, "It has nothing to do with me. It was Brother Zhao who took the initiative."
Zhao Chunjiang immediately waved his hands, "It wasn't me, it was Guan Wenbin who cursed first."
"It's all your fault. One of you is swearing and the other is fighting. We can't even grab the money from you." Fang Qianqian pouted in disgust.
Jiang Yu was standing far away, but she heard the conversation among the educated youth clearly, and a lot of questions gradually arose in her mind.
What does that mean? Are they really actively looking for fights with the villagers now?
No, it was just a joke, why did you guys take it seriously?
Jiang Yu was a little confused. She nudged Chen Jinghan with her elbow and asked, "Are He Yuanchao and the others fighting with the villagers?"
"Yeah, every day." Chen Jinghan answered very numbly, mainly because he was used to it now.
They are all crazy, all the educated youth are crazy.
Jiang Yu curled the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to describe his feelings.
But to be honest, they really listen to advice.
It may also be because they lost more than they won in fights with the villagers, so even though the educated youth had scars on their faces, their spirits were incredibly good.
"No wonder your snoring has been a lot louder lately. It seems fighting is quite tiring." Jiang Yu changed his standing posture and slightly raised his head to look at the villagers in front who were starting to vote.
The village cadres they elected were all middle-aged men. Although Jiang Yu was not very familiar with the villagers, he inferred from memory that these people were not in cahoots with the Zhuang family because he had never seen them at the Zhuang family's banquet.
Those who can be elected by everyone at this critical juncture should have good character. If the villagers who know the whole team well cannot elect a good leader, then the construction team should really be destroyed.
Chen Jinghan was tired of standing, so he found a big rock nearby and sat down, half tilting his head to look at the sky. He looked quite deep and silent.
Jiang Yu glanced at him and thought that it was understandable that Xue Li, a man who had seen the world, would be deceived by his face.
