I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

It was another poetry class. Today was the day for the class monitor election, and Lin Qinglan sat in the last row early waiting.

Teacher Qiao stood on the podium with a serious expression and announced the process of today's class monitor election.

"There are four candidates running in the election today."

"They are Uncle Fu, Uncle Li, Aunt Huang, and Aunt Xiao."

"After the four candidates give their speeches, we will hold a democratic vote."

"Except for me and Principal Lin, each of the 16 students will have one vote. The person with the most votes will become the monitor of our poetry appreciation class and will be responsible for supervising and helping the development of our entire class."

Aunt Huang was sitting in the front row with Old Fu and Uncle Li, and she was the one who was caught talking to them last time.

Aunt Xiao and Aunt Huang are good friends.

This campaign was quite exciting.

"Good brothers" and "good girlfriends" are about to become enemies.

Old Fu walked up to the podium with a confident and generous step, holding in his hand the campaign speech he had written late at night. He was full of confidence and felt that he was bound to win the position of class monitor.

Before he could speak, Teacher Qiao finished reading Fu Lanshan's warning, "Don't talk about your entrepreneurial history, don't say you are rich, and don't try to bribe teachers and classmates."

Mr. Fu took a look at his speech. It had five paragraphs in total, three of which talked about his entrepreneurship. The only ones he could use were the beginning and the end.

“No one knows his father better than his son,” so he threw away his speech and his reason, and decided to express himself freely.

"Everyone should be familiar with me, so I won't introduce myself."

"If I become the class monitor, I promise to give each student in our class a box of eggs."

Uncle Li was not happy: "You want to bribe everyone with a box of eggs? I don't think anyone will agree. You need to show everyone your sincerity."

The uncles and aunts below all lowered their heads and said nothing.

It’s not that the elderly are socially anxious, it’s that those who are socially anxious are getting older.

The few extroverts went up to give speeches, and the rest wanted eggs but didn't dare to say it.

Old Fu got angry and decided to fight for his dignity instead of fighting for the steamed buns.

"A box of eggs and a box of noodles."

"Too little, not in keeping with your chairman's temperament."

"Eggs, noodles and a multi-functional thermos cup."

"Not enough. Too little."

"I'll add another bucket of laundry detergent."

"Not enough. I have to seek benefits for everyone today."

"Add another bag of laundry detergent."

The two men kept increasing the stakes, panting.

"Is that enough? No, I still have facial cleanser, toothpaste, and a toothbrush..."

"Enough, enough, both of you stop." Lin Qinglan called for a stop urgently.

She was afraid that if they continued shouting like this, they would be on the link next.

"The selection of class monitors is based on personal ability, not financial resources." Teacher Qiao persuaded the two and asked Lao Fu, who had finished speaking, to go back. "Time is up, the next one is Uncle Li."

Uncle Li sneered and stood on the podium, "Everyone should be familiar with my son, so I won't introduce myself."

"If you choose me as the monitor, I will let my son give each of you a mobile phone. If he agrees, of course my words still carry a lot of weight in our family, and my son will definitely listen to me."

Teacher Li, who was teaching a class, suddenly felt his neck sink to the ground, as if a pot was falling from the sky.

Uncle Li was also kicked off the podium.

"You two should be serious, or you will be disqualified from running for election," Teacher Qiao said seriously. The campaign speeches of these two people sounded like jokes.

The two people didn't dare to refute and just kept their necks down and didn't say anything.

With the lessons learned from Mr. Fu and Uncle Li, the two aunts behind chose to take a different approach.

Since the two have been best friends for more than 50 years, they know each other very well.

Aunt Huang and Aunt Xiao told each other embarrassing stories from their youth, exposing each other's shortcomings without mercy.

Aunt Huang said she had been a leader.

Aunt Xiao tried to undermine her by saying that she had only been in the position for one month and three days.

Aunt Xiao said she has strong organizational skills.

Aunt Huang said, "When you and your husband were young, you took five children out, and when you came back, three of them were missing. I was the one who found them for you."

After a busy campaign, no one was elected.

The four candidates who participated in the election were all exhausted and out of breath.

Finally, the fifth person appeared out of nowhere.

Uncle Lu, who had been silent, stood up.

The whole audience looked at him expectantly.

Uncle Lu cleared his throat and said, "The position I am running for today is...Principal."

Lin Qinglan, who was sitting in the last row watching the fun, felt the eyes of the whole audience.

"Uncle Lu, you are the principal, what should I do?"

Lin Qinglan asked a soul-searching question, but unfortunately they were far away and Uncle Lu was hard of hearing.

He was giving his speech passionately: "If I am elected as the president, I will make the following changes."

"First of all, come from the masses and go to the masses. The first thing I did when I became the principal was to give the whole school a holiday and strictly implement the system of two days of work and five days of rest."

"Secondly, in response to the problem of students eating snacks in class, the second thing I did after becoming the principal was to provide each student with a bottle of drink to prevent them from choking on their food."

"Finally, in order to reduce the burden on everyone, I will do everyone's homework."

"Host, the master wants to seize power and usurp the throne." Xiao De's happiness disturbed Lin Qinglan's thinking.

Teacher Qiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and went over to stop Uncle Lu who was talking more and more outrageously.

"Uncle, the principal is still here. You are running for class monitor, not principal."

"Teacher, please speak louder. I can't hear you." Uncle Lu took a sip of the wolfberry tea in the cup. He wore a white shirt tucked into his pants and a large bunch of keys hanging on his belt. His sparse Mediterranean hair was clearly reflective, a standard outfit for school leaders.

Lin Qinglan suddenly felt that she should also get a thermos cup to improve her aura.

After Mr. Qiao's repeated explanations, Mr. Lu realized that he had not brought his hearing aids and had caused a misunderstanding.

"I was wondering why we had to elect a principal? Turns out they were electing a class monitor."

"Wait a minute. I'm going to go up and give another speech now."

……

Finally, we entered the voting stage with some difficulty.

Uncle Lu, who had experience as a cadre, received ten votes and was elected monitor with an absolute advantage.

Aunt Xiao, who received the second most votes, was elected deputy monitor.

This is the technique of checks and balances that Teacher Qiao discussed with Lin Qinglan just now. Two monitors, one main and one deputy, supervise and cooperate with each other to improve efficiency.

I don’t know who shouted first: “Look outside, it’s snowing.”

There is a thin layer of snow on the trees outside the window.

As soon as the bell rang, uncles and aunts stood outside the classroom to watch the snow.

They stretched out their hands to feel the temperature of the snow and observed the shapes of the snowflakes with the excitement of children.

The snow was not heavy, but it gave people a strong feeling that winter was coming with great force.

The snow continued for several days thereafter.

Heavy snowfall after heavy snowfall makes the way to school more and more difficult for uncles and aunts.
