Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 354 Election
The sun rose slowly.

Big and small, old and young, more than 100 people from the village gathered in the small square.

Widow Liu didn't want to hear what Li Huaizhong said on the stage, and waved a rag in her hand, shouting at the top of her voice.

"I have discussed what else to vote for. I can just make Uncle Hong Bing the village head, and I have to rush to get out of the stall."

coax!
The small square was full of jubilation.

The other villagers said that they were right, so they made Uncle Hong Bing the village head, and hurriedly finished the meeting.

"What's the noise? I'm not in a hurry. This is the process. I don't understand the process. The mother-in-law will sell a toad bone. I'm a dog. I ate your bowl yesterday and asked you to put less spicy peppers. You can put all your energy into it, it’s so hot that I’ve been running for a long time.”

Li Huaizhong stood on the stage and reprimanded Widow Liu, and casually expressed his old and new grudges.

The villagers in the audience shook their heads with laughter, and some villagers even boldly asked Uncle Huai Zhong if he was pulling flowers.

In the crowd, Li Hongbing shook his head and smiled wryly. The apparently formal election meeting turned into a nonsense meeting.

"Okay, okay, no nonsense!" Li Huaizhong raised his hand to check the time on his watch, and handed the microphone to Chunsheng beside him.

After taking the microphone, Chunsheng walked to the stage and spoke according to the flow.

"Today Caogou Village is holding a village chief election meeting. There are currently five candidates participating in the election, namely Da Kui, Fu Sheng, Lao Gen, Shui Sheng, and Li Hongbing. Now five candidates are invited to come on stage and deliver election speeches."

What!
Except for Li Hongbing, the other four people in the audience stared at each other. Last night, they only talked about making up the numbers, and didn't say that they would give an election speech. What is a speech!
"Electors please come to power!"

After a long time since no one came up, Chunsheng hurriedly covered the microphone and urged the audience, "Come up quickly, you guys, what are you doing!"

It's really a farce, but luckily it only takes a year.

Li Hongbing stood up, and when the other four saw Uncle Hongbing getting up, they reluctantly stood up and deliberately stood aside, meaning to let Li Hongbing go first.

Hey!
Can you act more realistically?

How can there be such a blatant way to give way, when the villagers are all blind?
Shaking with anger, Li Hongbing stepped onto the stage stiffly.

Shanxing, Sanpao, Chunmiao and other villagers in the small square burst into laughter, which was much more interesting than singing a big show.

When the five people stood in a row on the stage, except for Li Hongbing, none of them stood upright, giggling and waving to the audience.

Chunsheng took the microphone, walked up to Dakui, and handed the microphone to Dakui's mouth.

"Candidate, please deliver your campaign speech."

Forehead!
It was the first time that Da Kui spoke to the microphone, he felt flustered and didn't know what to say.

Seeing the women in the audience pointing to Uncle Hong Soldier and making gestures, he had an idea.

"I support Uncle Hongbing as village head."

Whoa!
Everyone in the small square laughed.

Li Hongbing's face turned pale, and he felt like a clown standing on the stage.

If there are any candidates who support the candidates, choose a few and announce the results directly.

I don't know how to check the manuscript in advance when making a cage.

Li Huaizhong was also taken aback, even if Dakui said it was fine to eat and drink well, out of nowhere he broke out to support Uncle Hongbing, regretting that he should have taught them how to speak on stage last night.

Chunsheng looked at Li Huaizhong anxiously, what to do if the process is not right, Li Huaizhong winked, Chunsheng quickly asked Dakui to step down, and when it was Fusheng's turn, he covered the microphone and reminded him in a low voice not to say anything about supporting Uncle Red Soldier.

Fu Sheng looked at the happy Da Kui, and secretly cursed in his heart that he should be the first one just now.

"Let's invite Fu Sheng to publish his election manifesto."

Facing the microphone, Fu Sheng also groaned and groaned for a long time. When he saw his youngest son eating melon seeds and watching the fun, he immediately knew what to say.

"Well, my family, Li Hongqi, is over 30 and hasn't found a wife yet. The big guy can help introduce one. I will give you a gift, three big tile-roofed houses, thank you!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to thank the audience,

boom!
The laughter in the small square was even louder.

Li Hongqi, who was watching the excitement, did not expect that he would become a crowd, and he stopped eating melon seeds, just like his father, brazenly surrendering to the villagers.

"Thank you. Uncles and aunts have worked hard. My father wants to hug his grandson."

Li Hongbing could not wait to cover his face with his clothes, so that the election of the village head was going well.

"Get off!" Li Huaizhong's face turned green, he grabbed the microphone, and pushed Fu Sheng off the stage, looking at Lao Gen and Shui Sheng who looked expectant, knowing that these two guys must not hold their farts well.

Simply declare to skip this link.

Lao Gen and Shui Sheng were disappointed, and walked off the stage shyly,

One is planning to announce the time of the scholar's wedding, and invite everyone to a banquet, and the other is planning to ask for a marriage for Jianjun.

If I had known earlier, I would have walked faster and got in the front row, and I could have said a few words.

Li Hongbing jumped directly from the stage to the ground, unwilling to stay on it for a moment.

Go to voting.

Chunsheng handed the ballots and pens prepared in advance to Li Hongqi and the others, and asked them to distribute them to the villagers.

shouted into the microphone.

"Take all the ballots. From 1 to 5 are the numbers of the electors. Remember that number 5 is Uncle Red Soldier. If you don't know how to count, ask your son."

Soon, with the help of the children, the villagers ticked off the numbers one after another, and Li Hongqi and the others took them back.

At this time, five people's names were written on the blackboard on the stage, and Li Hongqi took them apart, and the scholar sang the number, Jianjun wrote the orthographic characters, and one orthographic character counted as 5 votes.

"No. 5, one vote!"

"No. 5, one vote!"

"No. 5, one vote!"

"No. 1, one vote!"

"No. 2, one vote!"

"No. 3, one vote!"

"No. 4, one vote!"

"No. 5, one vote!"

Listening to the scholar's chanting, the villagers in the audience found that there were still people voting for Dakui and the others.

Li Hongbing silently lowered his head.

They voted by themselves. Who knew that everyone voted except themselves, which is embarrassing.

Dakui and the others even stood up and glared at the villagers, who put eye drops on themselves.

Wait until the call is over.

The result is self-evident, Li Hongbing narrowly won the unanimous vote against the other four candidates and became the new village head of Caogou Village.

Chunsheng excitedly took the microphone and shouted loudly, "Now let Village Chief Li give a speech to everyone."

Li Huaizhong and Li Hongbing reached out to the microphone at the same time.

The former was stunned for a moment, forgetting that he had resigned, and the new village head was also surnamed Li.

Li Hongbing didn't take the microphone face-to-face, and it didn't matter if he didn't take it. Fortunately, Uncle Huaizhong was smart, took the microphone and passed it to Li Hongbing, patted his shoulder, and walked off the stage pretending to be relaxed.

It is impossible to say that there is no nostalgia, after all, this is the stage that I have dedicated to for more than 30 years.

But when he turned his head and thought that there was a bigger stage waiting for him, his steps were a little brisk.

Holding the microphone, Li Hongbing saw the hopeful faces in the audience, and nodded to Zhao Xiaoyong who was taking pictures with his mobile phone.

"There's nothing to talk about. Since you elected me as the village head, I'll take charge of Caogou Village. What I say next may make you angry. If you are angry, I have to hold back."

In the first half of the sentence, Li Hongbing's tone was quite gentle, but in the second half, his voice suddenly rose, causing the hearts of the villagers in the audience to thump.

This picture is so familiar!
Uncle Red Soldier is about to go crazy.

Li Huaizhong, who had just left office, secretly apologized to Li Hongbing, not because he didn't take responsibility, but because he was powerless.

When I saw Zhao Xiaoyong’s video yesterday, I really didn’t know how to deal with it. I couldn’t figure out what hot search, headline, and live broadcast were.

Li Hongbing looked at the villagers standing upright one by one, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It turned out that I wasn't the village head, so I didn't bother to care about your troubles. It's different now."

"You know how outsiders say Caogou Village, Black Heart Village, Bandit Village, Bully Village, Cannibal Village."

"Li Sanqing, stand up for me."

Li Hongbing's voice was like thunder, Li Sanqing jumped up from the stool, trembling in fright.

"You can, what chicken in your family dares to buy 150, a fighter jet!"

"You really want to fly, water spinach is 30, your water spinach is planted on gold, and there are scrambled eggs, what kind of eggs are 40, your mother-in-law laid them?"

Hearing Li Hongbing say that his mother-in-law laid the eggs, Li Sanqing shook his head and was about to retort.

He heard Li Hongbing roar.

"Shut up for me, if you dare to say anything, I will beat you to death!"

Li Sanqing shrank instantly, shrinking his neck.

"They don't give you any money, and you and your wife are still gesturing with kitchen knives. What the hell, it's really a bandit village."

"Sit down for me, I will clean you up later!"

After scolding Li Sanqing, Li Hongbing searched the crowd again.

"Where is Wang Dalai? Stand up!"

Wang Dalai had just heard that Li Hongbing had taken care of Li Sanqing, and knew that he could not escape, so he stood up and quickly defended himself.

"Uncle Red Soldier, I didn't have a knife. I dug out the open space at the entrance of the village with a hoe."

Li Hongbing stared.

"I know you opened it, but that piece of land is yours? Why do you collect money, why can you collect money?"

"From today onwards, the parking lot has nothing to do with you, don't be stubborn, I say one thing."

Watching Brother Hongbing deal with Li Sanqing and Wang Dalai just like training his grandson, the unlucky group of four hid in the side and gloated.

at this time.

Hearing a voice on the radio, the expressions of the four of them froze instantly.

"Xiu Cai, get out!"

Lao Gen and Widow Liu's heart skipped a beat.

One is the father and the other is the future mother-in-law.

Why did the son and son-in-law also hit the gun.

"Xiucai, you are really good at it. You know how outsiders praise you. If you want to get rich, you raise dogs and sell tea. If you don't give money, you will let the dogs go."

"I" Xiucai wanted to explain, but he saw the red soldiers on the stage staring wide-eyed and bowed their heads guilty.

Li Hongbing didn't open fire indiscriminately, and turned his attention to the villagers.

"Caogou Village has a good reputation, and everyone can make money, but if the reputation is bad, let alone making money, you can't make a few cents."

"I am from Caogou Village, and I am also the village head of Caogou Village. Now I announce that all charging items will be cancelled, and the announcement will be made after the village studies and decides."

All fee items will be cancelled! !

Just now it was nothing to do with me, but now it affects my earning money, the villagers shouted, especially Widow Liu was the loudest.

"Uncle Red Soldier, I do business cleanly, I don't cheat or cheat, why don't I sell it?"

"Yes, why can't I sell the herbs I dug from the mountains."

"I sell some soy beans, and the price is clearly stated."

Li Hongbing looked at the excited villagers and said, "I said that the charging items will be cancelled, not that the stalls will be cancelled. You should sell them, but you can't cheat people with high prices or cheat people with fake products. I will set aside a place for you in the future." For stall use."

"That's good!" Widow Liu sat down satisfied, and the others knew that Uncle Hongbing was not talking about herself, so they died down.

See said almost.

Li Hongbing notified the villagers' representatives to hold a meeting with the village committee, and the new village chief election meeting came to an end.

Back to the village committee.

It was the first time that Li Hongbing formally met with the village representatives as the village head.

Regardless of the fact that there are only more than 100 permanent residents in Caogou Village, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, from the village head, (some positions cannot be written, so I will mention it in one stroke), the security director, the women's director, the accountant, and the village team leader.

There are five sub-teams under Caogou Village. The team leaders are Li Defa, Uncle Lao Liang, Tie Zhu, Uncle Mimi, and Shui Sheng.

The others were village representatives, the unlucky quartet, Li Sanqing and Wang Dalai.

Li Hongbing stared wide-eyed, looking at Dakui's old purple face, no one would have guessed that he would be the director of women.

"Huaizhong said that no one in the village will do it, let me do it first!" Da Kui lowered his head shyly, if it wasn't for the village representative meeting held today, he would have almost forgotten about it.

"Then keep pushing!" Li Hongbing waved his hand, watching the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people in the village, silently turned on his mobile phone, and played videos and news about Caogou Village from the Internet.

At the beginning, everyone didn't care about it, but with the help of various small bloggers and Internet celebrities, Caogou Village was portrayed as heinous.

Everyone's eyes on the few people in the video became more and more unkind. If Da Kui hadn't held Lao Gen down, there might have been a show of kindness and filial piety for Xiucai on the spot.

Uncle Lao Liang, Uncle Misty, Uncle Yandai and other old people asked with a heartbroken heart.

"Red Soldier, what should we do about this? Our Caogou Village has been innocent for hundreds of years, so we can't be ruined by these beasts."

Several parties buried their heads in shame, they only wanted to earn some money, and never thought of making such a big deal out of it.

"That's enough, that's enough!" Li Hongbing drank a little, habitually stretched out his hand to the table, and the next moment a cup of steaming hot tea appeared.

With a flattering smile on his face, Chunsheng said, "Village Chief, the water temperature of the freshly brewed tea is just right."

It's a talent, no wonder Uncle Huai Zhong has kept him by his side all these years.

Li Hongbing nodded appreciatively, took a sip from the teacup, and said unhurriedly.

"This matter is easy to solve. We will make an apology video and post it later. The important issue now is how to develop eco-tourism in our Caogou Village."

Ecotourism in Caogou Village?
Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed, with two words written on their faces, don't understand!

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the crowd, Li Hongbing sighed silently, took out a stack of papers from his bosom, and signaled Chunsheng to send them to everyone.

"Here are some profit models I came up with for tourism in Caogou Village."

"There are twelve profit models in it, namely catering profit, accommodation profit, processing profit, leisure profit, amusement profit, experience profit, industry profit, handmade profit, event profit, art profit, performance profit, and education profit!"

"It's all about ways to make money, and you can make a lot of money. Selling tea, collecting parking fees, and taking tolls are not worth mentioning."

Make big money! !

The villagers in the house stared wide-eyed, looking down at the thin sheet of paper in their hands.
