Chapter 324: Selection of Village Chief
The passion faded and it was time to say goodbye.
The villagers now live a wealthy life and their ideas have become more modern.
Almost all families who have been admitted to university have decided to send their children to college with their whole family, and also take this opportunity to go out and have a look.
Almost half of the people left at once, and the village suddenly felt much quieter. Especially after the educated youth left, it seemed even more deserted.
Sun Shugao and Liu Gaiwa are still there. The former is fine. As long as he does manual work, he can ignore going to the toilet and eating.
The latter has nothing to do, he draws quickly and has a lot of free time, and recently when he was strolling in the village, he was becoming more and more "favored".
Often after a walk, my pockets are full.
Let me put it this way, the melon seeds that the aunties and aunties working in the workshop eat while chatting are all brought back by Liu Gaiwa, and even then, there are still some left over every day......
Xingfu was admitted to Beijing City, and I originally thought that the child would go directly there by car from the graduate school.
It was just that one time when she called back and casually asked about the start of school. Although she emphasized that it was just a casual question, after so many years, Gu Mingyue had somewhat understood her character.
Even though the relationship is becoming closer now, Xingfu is still habitually afraid of causing trouble to others.
However, Gu Mingyue could still hear the expectation hinted at in her tone.
Yixuan and Yinuo were admitted to the university in the neighboring city, so Bai Fenglai had to send them there in person. If he wanted to send Happiness along, he would have to go to the neighboring city first and then drive back to Beijing. Whether it was troublesome or not was secondary, the main thing was that he was in a hurry.
Gu Mingyue thought that she had nothing to do in the near future, so she offered to take Guanglei out for some fun.
Regarding the factory construction, no one was disappointed. Every household in the village invested money, with the least being 200 yuan. These people were basically villagers who moved here later.
Originally, the starting capital for the villagers in this village was 500 yuan, which is a large expense nowadays, especially in rural areas, and this amount of money is only used to build houses.
This shows everyone's support for this matter.
Perhaps because he is old and more sentimental, Gu Mingwei was secretly moved when he found out.
Liu Caixia secretly talked to Gu Mingyue, saying that she saw him quietly wiping away tears, and then he became visibly happy.
This incident also made Gu Mingwei more willing to step down and let others take over. He is old and unable to do some things. The future still belongs to the young. Seeing that there are no ungrateful people in the village, he feels that his hard work over the years has not been in vain.
Recently he started looking for a successor. When Gu Guoqiang learned about it, he did not object. However, the old man still had some small thoughts, or obsessions, and hoped that the next village chief would still be chosen from the Gu family.
Gu Mingyue agreed, saying that even for the sake of a peaceful life in the future, she must choose from her family.
After all, people's hearts are fickle, and who can guarantee that those who have received favors will always remember the kindness of the past? It is better to nip the hidden danger in the bud and solve it from the root.
At this time, electing the next person is not that complicated and the requirements are not that strict. As long as the incumbent recommends, passes the political review, and has unanimous consent from the villagers, he can be elected.
Gu Mingwei was also conflicted about the candidate issue. He was actually quite optimistic about Li Dayong, but the other party was a stranger. In addition, he had tried to test the other party and found that he preferred the processing plant.
Although the position of factory director needs to be re-elected after the village committee decides to build a factory, everyone has an idea of the candidate.
Not to mention that Li Dayong is familiar with all matters concerning the handicraft workshop over the years, he himself is also hardworking and never slacks off. Whether it is his character or his ability, the villagers recognize him very much, so it is almost a foregone conclusion.
Gu Mingwei later found Gu Mingxin. The other party had been working as an accountant in all these years, but he was involved in all the big and small matters in the village and had a better understanding of them.
However, the other party currently prefers to play with his grandchildren and enjoy the family happiness. If there is a suitable candidate, he would like to resign.
After looking around, I couldn't find anything suitable.
At this time, Gu Mingyue thought of someone...
"What? Guangtao!" Gu Mingwei thought he had heard it wrong.
Gu Mingyue knew what he was thinking. It was true that this person had always been considered unreliable in everyone's eyes.
So I explained, "Gujia Village has a good foundation. Compared with future development, I prefer to keep the business. Being too honest is easy to be fooled, and being too cunning is hard to guarantee that you will stick to one thing. Guangtao seems to be unruly, but he is never confused about big things. He graduated from high school. Although he is good at farming, he has been very impressive outside since he started working in sales. He dares to speak up and distinguishes right from wrong. These two points alone are better than many people."
Gu Mingwei frowned and said, "Even if we are interested, the villagers may not agree. Guangtao has left a deep impression on people in the past. Not only others, but also our own family. If you don't believe me, go ask your fifth brother. He will probably think that he is hard of hearing and didn't hear clearly."
Gu Mingyue couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, don't mention it, it's really possible."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, I'll go ask Guangtao what he thinks first. If he agrees, we can follow the previous routine and let him sign up for the election freely and everyone can vote. If someone surnamed Gu is elected, as long as his character is good, we won't have to worry about it. If it's someone from another family, I'll try to find a way from the commune. It shouldn't be a problem if we find someone to run the operation."
Gu Mingwei thought for a moment and agreed, "I'll listen to you."
When Gu Mingyue arrived there, Fifth Brother's family had just finished their meal and the table was not yet cleared.
Seeing her coming over at this time, Gu Mingxin asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"It's nothing. I just came here at this time to ask Guangtao something."
Gu Mingxin said that they were splitting up the family, but they still ate together and would occasionally drive his son away when he was annoyed by him. So the wall was only occasionally useful and was just a decoration at other times.
Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, he thought his youngest son was causing trouble again, so he immediately turned around and glared at him, "What bad things have you done again?"
Gu Guangtao cried out in grievance, "Dad, can't you think of me a little better? Just because someone is looking for me, does that mean I must be up to no good?"
Gu Mingxin was speechless and said, "Then you should ask yourself, why do you always leave this kind of impression on others..."
Gu Mingyue was afraid that her children were too young and might be tricked and taken away, so she explained her purpose.
Even Liu Xiaohua was shocked and asked worriedly, "Aunt, is there no one left in the village?"
Gu Guangtao couldn't help rolling his eyes and breathing hard through his nose.
Gu Mingxin waved his hand and said, "Mingyue, Fifth Brother will obey you on other matters, but not on this matter. What is a village chief? It is equivalent to the head of a family. Gujia Village has become what it is now. I didn't even dare to dream about it before. But you have to know that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. I can't destroy this foundation with my own hands. Otherwise, wouldn't I become a sinner? How can I face my ancestors in the underworld in the future?"
"Fifth brother, it's not the case. It's really not the case."
Gu Guangtao also wondered at first whether his aunt had lost her mind and why she would think of looking for him...
But seeing his family members' opposition aroused his rebellious psychology, and he blurted out, "Why can't I do that? I will run for village chief and impress you!"
