Small Village Official and Big Boss

The results of the vote were beyond everyone's expectations.

"You guys," Jia Zhishu sighed helplessly, "Can't you be a little assertive, and you abstain from voting on such a big matter?" Elections in the village are not very particular, and they just raise their hands to signal.Of the 85 people in the meeting room, 29 voted for Xue Wenyuan, 29 voted for Zhaotong Company, and the rest abstained.Repeated several times, the result has always been the same. Occasionally, someone voted for Xue Wenyuan and Zhaotong Company for a while, but those who abstained firmly did not raise their hands.This will not go on.

Jia Zhishu shouted angrily: "It's okay to have another one, the two sides have always been flat, how can we decide!"

Jia Erquan plucked his ears: "How about letting the children come and vote, counting their votes, that would be great."

"Then why don't you ask Jinmin's old lady to vote and see if she wants the child back!" Jia Jinshui retorted.Jia Erquan and Jia Jinshui's enmity was very deep, Jia Erquan's fists itched when he heard him speak, and now it became a firecracker that was ignited, and he jumped up suddenly, and it was Jinmin who quickly hugged and pressed down his hands, which avoided a fight Melee.

Jia Zhishu was so angry that he slapped the table.Democracy in the village is not easy to do. First, everyone doesn’t pay attention to it. Second, everyone knows each other too well.Forget about the usual things, many people simply don't stand in line when it's either me or him.

"This is a major event related to the village! In the future, your future and the future of your children will be changed because of this incident. Don't you have any opinions!"

A villager who abstained from voting shook his head: "Uncle, it's not that we don't vote, it's that we don't have to vote. If we are asked to give up the opportunity to work for Boss Xue's unreliable favor, we will not do it; We can't do it if we abandon the friendship of Mr. Xue's boss for the sake of a job that has no shadow. Putting these aside, isn't it just contracting forest land? It’s not good. The county should have finished bidding for this matter, just ask us if we agree or not, and it’s over, why did you let us vote first!”

The other villagers immediately chimed in.Why doesn’t Jia Zhishu know this reason, but after all, Wang Chu has been with him for half a year, and Boss Xue has also contributed a lot to the village. He is still a bit biased. If he goes through the formalities directly in the county, the relevant Zhaotong company will definitely win the bid , then Boss Xue has no chance at all.

"Our Phoenix Mountain is so big, should we set aside another thousand mu for the two of them to branch?"

"Our batch of forest land is near the foot of Fenghuang Mountain. The area close to our fields will go into the mountain for another thousand mu! We don't know what's in the deep mountains and old forests, so how can they be developed. So we say this One thousand mu of land is not only the beginning of our village's poverty alleviation, but also the entire capital of our poverty alleviation! You must choose carefully, and don't give up easily!"

Having said that, it seems that there is no decision on this matter. More and more people have chosen to abstain. If they continue to vote like this, even if they choose one, they will have to be voided.At the moment of stalemate, the door of the meeting room opened again.Unlike the children who were chased away when they came in before, this time when the people came in, everyone in the conference room stood up and made way for them while saying hello, Jia Zhishu even ran up to greet them personally: "Brother Gen Come too!"

The person who came was the village head, Jia Weigan.Jia Weigen is almost eighty years old and is a direct descendant of the Jia family in Neicun.Many of the direct descendants of the Jia family have moved out of the village, and there are not many people left, but they firmly hold the position of village chief.Although the direct line of the Jia family stepped down from the altar and the ancestral hall was closed due to the previous incident, after all, the prestige of hundreds of years is still there. Although the village chief never cares about things, he is like a symbol. As long as he appears, the people in the inner village will respect him, and the people in the outer village will generally not disobey him.

Although Jia Weigen is old, he is in good spirits. When he walked to the village committee compound, he had to live with a walking stick. Although he was accompanied by his grandson Jia Fengsheng, he didn't need to help him. , of course I want to come. How about it, have you been selected?"

Jia Zhishu didn't know the meaning of Jia Weigen's coming.Although he said he was the village chief, he was actually telling the people in the village that the direct descendant of the Jia family was still in the village and was still in control of the village. They didn't care much about the development of the village.The last time Jia Weigen appeared was crowdfunding for road construction, he donated hundreds of thousands on behalf of his descendants, and there was nothing else.This time he appeared, whether he was asked by the Zhaotong company or wanted to speak for Xue Wenyuan, Jia Zhishu had no idea, but considering that many of his direct descendants worked in the government, Jia Zhishu was worried that he would help Zhaotong.Jia Zhishu reported the voting situation truthfully: "No, the two sides have the same number of votes, and there are still many abstentions."

Jia Weigen laughed: "Then I came at the right time. I advocate contracting to Boss Xue. Do you think it's okay?"

A hammer is fixed.

After the meeting, Jia Zhishu sent Jia Weigen home, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Gen, why do you want to help Boss Xue?"

Jia Weigen stopped and patted Jia Zhishu on the shoulder: "Fugui, I also watched you grow up. Although you helped people from other villages, it is understandable. After all, what they did was a bit too much. But it’s still the same sentence, power and money will always be a rope tied to Qingshui Village, you drove us away back then, but you couldn’t get rid of these two things.”

"Brother Gen, at that time..."

Jia Weigen didn't want to listen to Jia Zhishu's explanation, and raised his hand to stop Jia Zhishu's words: "What happened back then is over, so it's meaningless, I'm just telling you for the sake of our relationship, Boss Xue, you can't afford to mess with him. You tell the children, don't do this kind of thing in the future. After all, it is the village where we grew up, and we don't want to see it disperse. "

Jia Zhishu was bewildered and didn't understand what it meant. He wanted to ask again, but Jia Weigen waved his hand and told him to go back.After Jia Zhishu left, Jia Fengsheng asked: "Isn't it okay to move away? The current situation has changed a long time ago. It is not easy to live in the deep mountains and old forests. Only in the city can they develop. Those people rely on themselves as the boss and go out on their own." , Let us stay here, why! With this incident, we just happened to leave this wretched place."

Jia Weigen smiled, and pointed at Phoenix Mountain with his crutches: "Xue Wenyuan's ancestor is also a direct descendant of the Jia family. If you don't count, you have to call him an uncle. What did he come back from across the ocean? Just to find Is there a place to live? Feng Sheng, we have something in this mountain, we are guarding here for Jia’s family, and even more so for ourselves.”

Jia Fengsheng didn't take it seriously, but he knew his grandfather's temper, so he didn't say much.He only hoped that Xue Wenyuan could develop Fenghuang Mountain better so that he, the future village chief, would not be too difficult to do.

When Jia Erquan came out of the village committee, he saw Jia Xiao and Dashu playing in the courtyard of the village committee. He walked over to him strangely and asked, "Why didn't you go to see Wang Chu?"

Jia Xiao watched his friends being dragged home one by one by their parents, and he was very glad that his parents didn't come back: "We went there and there was no one, call Xiao Chu, he said he went to the city, tomorrow The plaster needs to be removed! Will it be fine after the removal, and will it be possible to send us to school?"

Jia Erquan patted his forehead and smiled: "Send a ghost, can't you let him rest? Besides, why don't I send you off? Someday I will make you late!"

Xiaoxiao covered her forehead aggrievedly and muttered in a low voice: "You are not as handsome as Xiao Chu and Da Xue..."

"Hey!" Jia Erquan exploded as soon as he heard it, and ran after Xiaoxiao all over the courtyard, Xiaoxiao hurriedly dodged, and bumped into someone else in a panic.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xiaoxiao apologized hastily, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Jia Mingde.This Jia Mingde was of the same generation as Erquan, and was four years older than Erquan. They were both from the inner village. In their early years, they went out to dump cement on construction sites and made some money.He doesn't look as good as Jia Erquan, but he looks very honest, with a bookish look on his body, and he doesn't get angry after being bumped by Jia Xiao, and even took out a few pieces of candy for Jia Xiao.

"Is this Xiaoxiao? Long time no see, the little girl has become more beautiful!"

Jia Xiao smiled embarrassedly, but he was very proud in his heart: "Brother Mingde, you are back too."

"Yeah, the village needs to build roads and develop Phoenix Mountain, so we need to use things. I happen to be doing this. As the saying goes, the fat water doesn't flow into other people's fields. I just want to come back quickly to see if I can take over this job. " Jia Mingde didn't seem to treat Xiaoxiao as a child at all, looked at her seriously, and explained to her carefully.

Jia Xiao immediately had a good impression of this approachable big brother, and the people who were not very familiar with him suddenly became close: "You can talk to Brother Xue, he is very nice and will agree!"

If there are people who treat children equally, Wang Chu is one, and Jia Erquan is also one, that's why they are so popular with children.Jia Mingde has always liked children, and would bring gifts to them every time he came back, but for some reason, Jia Erquan felt that he was a little weird and made people feel uncomfortable.

Jia Erquan pulled Xiaoxiao back, and exchanged pleasantries with Jia Mingde: "Mingde came back this time, did he bring someone with him? Our aunt is looking forward to you bringing someone back every day."

Jia Mingde kept staring at him with a smile, and said a few words to Erquan: "No, you don't have a date yet. What time is it? This reminds me."

"Oh, then you should go back early, my aunt will definitely be waiting for you, I will take them to the mountain to play for a while. Smile, call the big tree, and follow me!"

When Xiaoxiao heard that he was going to play, his eyes rolled, he waved at Jia Mingde, and happily ran to find Dashu, leaving Jia Mingde alone in thought.
