Chapter 248 Election Conference
Chapter 248 Election Conference
Hu Zi was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"Brother Yuan, why are you carrying Heihei back home?"
Chen Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Old Su and Yiyi are going to the front mountain to look for herbs. No one is home. If a thief breaks into the house now, no one will know."
Hu Zi thought it made perfect sense, "Okay, Brother Yuan, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, Hu Zi walked out against the crowd.
Someone asked, "Hey, Huzi, the election is about to start. Where are you going?"
Hu Zi chuckled, "I'm going to pee, why do you want to follow me? You're such a busybody, aren't you?"
The man immediately shut up; he wasn't interested.
Not long after Hu Zi left, the election began.
Xu Guoqiang stood on the stage and read the opening speech passionately.
"Dear guests, dear villagers, good morning!"
"With great excitement, I announce to everyone that our election meeting has officially begun!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
"Let's get started! I can't wait!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up! I want to see who will become the village chief!"
"Oh, I'm so nervous! I must choose the second child!"
"..."
Xu Guoqiang was happy to see everyone in high spirits.
He cleared his throat and said, "Next, the candidates whose names I've called out, please come to the front of the stage."
"Chen Yuan!"
"Li Gou'er!"
"Zhou Ganmei!"
When Chen Yuan's name was called, Sun Weiwei nervously grasped Ma Hongying's hand and felt like her heart would not beat at all.
Chen Yuan looked calm and composed as he slowly walked onto the stage. If you didn't know him, you would think that today's election had nothing to do with him.
The more Xu Guoqiang looked at Chen Yuan, the more satisfied he felt. If it weren't for fairness, he really wanted to pour the entire half bag of red beans into Chen Yuan's bowl.
"Okay, let's go from right to left and give our speeches in turn."
Zhou Ganmei was stunned for a moment. He had never given any speech before!
Couldn't he just come up and wait for others to vote?
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Zhou Ganmei said nervously, "My name is Zhou Ganmei, I'm 30 years old, male, and still single."
As soon as Zhou Ganmei finished speaking, laughter came from the audience.
Wang Da Laba laughed so hard he fell backwards. "Oh, I'm talking about chasing beauty. Are you running for village chief? Or are you going on a blind date?"
After hearing what Wang Dalabao said, everyone laughed even louder.
"Hahaha! I remember Ganmei went to school when she was little. How come she can't even give a speech?"
"Oh, I think I can do it myself."
"Come down quickly! Stop embarrassing yourself up there!"
"..."
Zhou Ganmei secretly clenched his hands. He didn't believe that Chen Yuan and Li Gou'er would give any speeches.
Xu Guoqiang sighed and said, "Li Gou'er, it's your turn."
Li Gou'er scratched his head and chuckled, "Uncle Xu, Village Chief, I'm not good at giving speeches. I just know that if you guys elect me, I'll definitely work hard in the future!"
Xu Guoqiang's expression relaxed a little and he nodded slightly. Finally, someone spoke in a reasonable way.
"Okay, it's your turn, Chen Yuan."
Chen Yuan first bowed to the audience, then cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Yuan."
"I've participated in city-run training and won the title of model student. I can raise rabbits and pigs. I have the confidence and ability to lead everyone to better and better things."
"I hope everyone can vote for me and give me a chance!"
As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out from the audience.
"Great! Chen Yuan said it very well!"
"Our Chenjia Village needs talents like you!"
"Among these three, Chen Yuan has both the ability and the achievements. It would be unacceptable if Chen Yuan didn't become the village chief!"
"I want to choose Chen Yuan! What Erwa said is so good, it speaks directly to my heart!"
"Yes! When we elect a village chief, isn't it to choose someone who can lead everyone to a good life?"
"..."
Everyone started discussing it one by one.
The Zhou family members looked gloomy and couldn't laugh. None of them had expected this to happen. Look at what Chen Yuan said and then look at what Zhou Ganmei said. It was simply too embarrassing.
In contrast, the Chen family members were all smiling with rosy faces, and were more excited than when he became the village chief.
Some even stood up and shouted, "Erwa, well done!"
"Erwa, you are the pride of our Chen family!"
Chen Yuan waved his hand modestly, "Everything I have is thanks to the training of the village chief and Uncle Xu, as well as the help and support of the villagers of Chenjia Village. Without you, I, Chen Yuan, would not be where I am today.
Of course, the most important thing is that I have a good wife who understands and supports me!"
"Whether I can be selected today or not, I am already very satisfied having come this far!"
After saying that, Chen Yuan bowed deeply to the audience again.
Sun Weiwei burst into tears after hearing this. She wiped her tears and looked at the stage with a smile.
Xu Guoqiang and Chen Zhide looked at each other and they both thought of the same thing.
There is simply no comparison!
However, for the sake of fairness, Xu Guoqiang continued: "Okay, all the candidates have finished speaking."
"Now, we are going to the all-important voting phase."
"Please line up and take the beans over here. Put them in the bowl of the person you want to vote for. Each person can only take one. Don't cheat, or your vote will be invalidated!"
To avoid suspicion, Xu Guoqiang and Chen Zhide did not vote but watched from the side.
Everyone came forward excitedly, picked up the beans and prepared to vote.
"Erwa, do your best! Auntie believes in you!"
"Erwa, don't feel pressured. All of us with the surname Chen will definitely vote for you!"
"Xiao Li, you're not bad at speaking. I'll give you my vote."
"Hurry up, my niece is remarried and has a child. If you don't mind, I'll introduce you to her! If you agree, I'll vote for you!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Guoqiang cleared his throat and said, "You are suspected of bribery. Vote quickly, or your vote will be invalid!"
When the aunt heard this, she put the red beans directly into Chen Yuan's bowl and said with a smile: "Er Wa, the one I want to vote for the most is actually you!"
At this time, Zhou Xiongfeng from the Zhou family came up and took two beans directly while the inspector was not paying attention.
"Go to the United States, work hard, no matter what, our Zhou family will support you!"
After saying that, Zhou Xiongfeng put two beans into the bowl in front of Zhou Ganmei.
As luck would have it, Xu Guoqiang saw it.
"Hey, hey, hey! Zhou Xiongfeng, you just threw two beans in there, don't think I didn't see it!"
"Take it out quickly!"
Zhou Xiongfeng was a little angry and embarrassed when he was discovered.
"Aren't you just looking for trouble? If you want Chen Yuan to be the village chief, just announce it directly!"
