Chen Zhide exclaimed, "Huh?" and asked in confusion, "Why, now that we've invited them to a meeting, we have to give them some rewards?"

"If each of us makes a bean, won't everyone scold me to death later?"

Chen Yuan knew that Chen Zhide had misunderstood again.

"Uncle, please listen to what I have to say!"

"What I mean is, give each person a bean. The villagers put a bean in the bowl in front of whoever they want to be the village chief."

"At the end of the vote count, the one with the most votes will be elected village chief. This is called a bean election, and it's fair and just. Even if Zhang Guixiang wanted to complain, she couldn't find any fault."

"Besides, if there are other people with better abilities, we can't leave them behind!"

After listening to Chen Yuan's explanation, Chen Zhide couldn't help but clap his hands and sighed, "You little brat, you usually look so careless, but every time you get serious, you become a completely different person. I never thought that the best person in our Chenjia Village is only you!"

"I'm old, I'm old! I can't help but admit it!"

Chen Yuan chuckled and scratched his head. "It can't be helped. This is like the Yangtze River's waves behind pushing those in front. Each wave is stronger than the last."

Chen Zhide gently patted the back of Chen Yuan's head and said, "Where did you learn that word? It's quite descriptive!"

Chen Yuan was speechless. He was going to get slapped in the face, wasn't he?

Chen Zhide stood up happily and said with a smile, "Alright, take good care of yourself. I'll notify everyone tomorrow morning and prepare for registration."

Chen Yuan sighed and thought about this matter in his mind.

Sun Weiwei also prepared the meal. "Uncle Chen, the meal is ready. Can you have a bite before you leave?"

Chen Zhide waved his hand and said, "When Chen Yuan becomes the village chief, I will definitely take him out for a drink!"

After saying that, Chen Zhide leaned on a crutch with one hand and put the other hand behind his back. He had to go find Xu Guoqiang to talk about this matter.

Under the wall, Chen Guangtao listened for a long time, and after Chen Zhide left, he hurried back home.

"It's too milky, too milky! Oh no!"

Chen Guangtao was running out of breath, with the fat on his face flying off.

Zhang Guixiang hurried forward and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from Chen Guangtao's forehead.

"My dear great-grandson, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Chen Guangtao took a deep breath and said hurriedly, "Grandma, didn't you just see Grandpa Chen go to Second Uncle's house?"

"After I returned to the house, my mother asked me to go to my second uncle's house. Guess what I heard?"

Zhang Guixiang's heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, "What did you hear?"

Chen Guangtao pointed in the direction of Chen Yuan's house and said, "Grandpa Chen wants Second Uncle to be the village chief! He's talking about beans and meetings!"

Zhang Guixiang slapped her thigh fiercely. What would happen if Chen Yuan became the village chief?

"Taotao, are you sure you heard it right?"

Chen Guangtao nodded quickly, "Grandma, I must have heard it right, they talked for a long time!"

Zhang Guixiang remained silent, thinking quickly of a solution in her mind.

After a while, Zhang Guixiang asked, "Were you not discovered at your second uncle's house just now?"

Chen Guangtao's eyes rolled around. "Didn't my second uncle's dog get lent to the village pigpen? I went there undercover and wasn't discovered."

"Grandma, I've been running all the way here and haven't digested my dinner yet. I'm so hungry. I want to eat some rice with pork lard."

Zhang Guixiang was happy to hear the news. That beast was no longer around. It was truly God’s help!

She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, Grandma will do it for you now. Call your parents over. Grandma wants to talk to them about something."

When Chen Guangtao heard that he could eat rice with lard residue, he clapped his hands and jumped to find Chen Shan and Li Mengyao.

……

The next day, Xu Guoqiang gathered everyone together while everyone was at work.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what was going on.

"What's going on today? Why haven't you assigned us any work?"

"Yes, yes! Wait a little longer, the sun will come up and we won't have the energy to work anymore!"

"Did something happen in our village? Didn't the village chief take a break? Why is he here today?"

"Oh, you're right, Accountant Xu looks so serious, he's probably going to make an announcement."

"..."

Everyone started talking at once, stretching their necks and looking forward curiously.

After a while, Xu Guoqiang came forward with a small notebook.

"Dear fellow villagers!"

"Today, we gather everyone here because we have something very important to announce to you."

After saying that, Xu Guoqiang paused deliberately to give everyone time to react.

Everyone's face was full of curiosity, but Zhang Guixiang's family, who knew some inside information, looked calm.

"It's getting so serious, could it be that someone in our village has made a mistake and is being paraded through the streets?"

"Hey, I haven't heard of anyone making a mistake! Have you heard?"

"Old Xu, stop keeping us in suspense. What's going on?"

"Yeah, tell me now! I'm so anxious!"

"..."

Xu Guoqiang suddenly smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing!"

"As everyone knows, our old village chief, Mr. Chen Zhide, is already old. After research and discussion by our village committee leadership team, our village will elect a new village chief!"

"I hope that people in our village who have leadership skills and can lead the villagers to better lives will sign up!"

"Of course, this person must be of good character!"

Xu Guoqiang's words were like a bolt of thunder, striking down suddenly and leaving everyone stunned.

It took a long time for everyone to come to their senses.

"What? What do you mean, whoever wants to be village chief can sign up?"

"Hey! Is this true or not?"

"Then can we women join in the fun?"

"If you ask me, what else is there to choose? He has leadership skills and can lead us all to better things. Isn't Chen Yuan the most suitable candidate?"

"Don't say that, don't say that! I think Erwa is a really capable kid!"

"..."

As everyone talked, they found that Chen Yuan was the most suitable candidate.

"Then I will choose Erwa. I believe in him!"

"Me too, me too! Erwa is such a kind child!"

"I won't sign up. I'll choose Chen Yuan too!"

"..."

Zhang Guixiang was so angry after hearing this that her teeth itched. She said sarcastically, "You don't even know that Chen Yuan was selected without even signing up."

Everyone looked at Zhang Guixiang as if she were a clown. This old lady was going to make trouble again.

Wang Da Laba laughed and said, "Mrs. Zhang, is your eldest grandson going to sign up?"

"Or you can beg me, and I'll vote for your eldest grandson!"

After saying that, Wang Da Laba burst into laughter.

Zhang Guixiang also lost her temper, and cursed with her hands on her hips, "Bah! Do I need to beg you?"

"I'm telling you right now. My eldest grandson must sign up. He's definitely going to be the village chief!"
