wife and husband

Chapter 26

A few days after the complete registration of the population of Baiyun Village, Baiyun Village began to prepare for the election of the village head.This is a top priority for the villagers of Baiyun Village. In the past, the village chiefs were hired by respected old people in the village, but since the death of the previous village chief, everyone was panicked because of the war. Shelved it.

There are old people in the village, but not all old people are highly respected. Besides, they have to be willing. Some old men who are barely qualified are not willing to do this kind of thing. When they are old, they should have a good night. The village chief Let the young people to toss it.

Since it is necessary to elect a village chief, it is necessary to discuss a method, how to choose, and what criteria.Taking advantage of nothing to do in the afternoon, the field dam was full of people, half of them were enjoying the shade, and half of them were sitting and discussing together.

"If you want me to say, let's look at the age. Older people have experience. You can't let a young man become the village head. What does that look like!" The person who spoke was a five-year-old and three-year-old man in the village.

Er Shuan immediately became displeased, "What's wrong with us young people, young people have strength, they are all limp old people, when others come to make trouble, they will lie on the ground with a punch, it's not as good as us young people."

"It's no use for young people to have strength but no brains. Er Shuan, don't interrupt. It's none of your business. Our family has someone who can talk, and there is your father. You quietly." The mother of stone and wood died in her early years Father, it is not easy to bring up two children, and their tempers are also fierce. Knowing that neither of my two sons can be the village head, Shitou Niang has been silent at first, but now she is happy to hear Er Shuan's words, so she can't help but intervene. I said a few words.

Er Shuan curled his lips and didn't say anything more. The field was almost full of people from every household, they all came to discuss this matter. It was agreed that one person from each household would speak, and the others could just listen and occasionally give some advice. It's okay, but whether to listen or not is the business of others.

"Is everyone okay?" Someone asked.

Chu Yunfeng also shook his head with everyone else, he was not interested in this kind of thing, he just sat here for fun.

Yan San looked around. Among the current villagers, there are not many people who are older and have some prestige. Uncle Shou Cheng is one, he is one, and there is a 60-year-old Niu Daddy who has been sitting here for a long time. Uncle and Daddy Niu didn't speak...

After thinking for a long time, he cleared his throat, "Well, let's choose someone who is a little older, preferably with a bit of eloquence, otherwise the officials who come from the town will stutter for a long time and can't say a fart. dead."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone vaguely focused their attention on the old man Niu. Everyone knew that the old man was a boring gourd. When his wife was still there, he would always hear his wife scolding him for a whole day without getting any response from him. Now my wife is gone, let alone talk.Apart from teasing his grandson and laughing a few words, he usually goes quietly wherever he goes.

When it came to his father, Niu Yong was not happy, and immediately turned black. "It's not a storyteller, what do you need such a good eloquence? Do you still stand on our stage every day to entertain everyone?"

Everyone laughed secretly, Yan San shot himself in the foot with a rock, he just listened to the opera and sang a few words when he was fine, and he was fine on weekdays, but Niu Yong's words at this time had some other meanings.

"Niu Yong, what do you mean?" Yan San stared.

Niu Yong snorted, "It's not interesting. Some people just say it if they want to be the village chief. Anyway, my father is not interested. I haven't had the village chief for a few years. Don't think everyone is a fool. I really don't think so." Get through that flamboyant guts."

"You!" Yan Sanqi blushed and his neck was thick, and everyone quickly persuaded him.

"Okay, okay, there are eighteen households in our village, including the new Li family, nineteen households, each person chooses one, and whoever gets the most votes will be the head of our village." Someone directly suggested.

Everyone kept silent, saying that this is indeed a good idea, but in the final analysis, it doesn't matter whoever is the village head.

"Then who should we choose?" Everyone looked at each other.

The oldest man in the village, an old man in his 80s, stroked his sparse beardless chin, and pointed with a cane, "Shoucheng, Sanwa, and Niuzi, I think the three of them are suitable."

The old birthday boy spoke, and everyone had no objections. Father Niu was startled, looked up at the old birthday boy, and shook his head, "I can't, I can't."

The old birthday star nodded, "Niuzi, just take it for fun, let's have fun. In two days, invite a troupe. The selection is over tomorrow, and we will also listen to the opera. The village has not been lively for a long time, and my old bone will soon I can't see it..."

When it got dark and everyone dispersed, Er Shuan walked up to Chu Yunfeng and touched him, "Brother Orion, who do you choose?"

Chu Yunfeng raised his eyebrows, and before he could answer, Er Shuan's neck was slapped by Yan Wu, "Er Shuan, we don't carry such ones, you have to behave yourself."

Er Shuan blushed, and Yan Wu smiled at Chu Yunfeng, "Brother Orion, you have to remember to choose my father." After speaking, he made a grimace at Er Shuan, baring his teeth, and walked away.

"Bad boy Yan Wu, what about your rules?" Er Shuan hopped his feet angrily.

Yan Wu's giggling laughter came from far away, "I learned from you..."

"Brother, don't listen to that bastard, you have to remember to choose my father, I won't tell you, I'll go find him, I have to watch him closely, that kid is full of ghosts." Er Shuan finished. , Angrily went to Yan Wu.

Chu Yunfeng couldn't help laughing as he watched the two run away one after the other, Shanzao couldn't stand up from laughing, "Why didn't I see that my Orion brother has become a sweet pastry, everyone is grabbing it want."

Chu Yunfeng smiled slightly, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You are also a sweet potato, Brother Orion will eat you tonight."

"Don't make trouble!" Shanzao blushed with shame, how could she be rude again!
That night, Shanzao became a sweet pastry. Chu Yunfeng literally ate her up, and forced her to call "Brother Orion". She hid directly under the quilt.

"You villain, how can I see people!" Shanzao covered his face sadly, probably everyone in the village heard it, he was really ashamed to see people.

Chu Yunfeng was in good spirits, "Then what's the matter, who cares so much after going to bed at night, get up and have breakfast, I have to go to Changba after breakfast, it's very lively today."

Today is the election of the village chief, so it's not good if you don't go.Shanzao became ashamed and annoyed, and met Mrs. Wang as soon as she went out after breakfast.Mrs. Wang greeted her with a smile, "Big sister wakes up so early, after all, she is young, but she is really energetic."

Shanzao's face turned red to the neck, and she knew what the words meant, so she responded awkwardly. She secretly glanced at Chu Yunfeng, who looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

Wang sneered, "Newlyweds are like this, young people, it's inevitable."

Shanzao didn't dare to answer any more, lowered his head, and quickened his pace towards Changba.

When they arrived at Changba, everyone was almost there. Under the mocking eyes of everyone, Shanzao shrank unconsciously. She swore in her heart that she would never call "Brother Orion" again!

The selection method is very simple, one person from each household, one stone in each person's hand, put it in front of three people in front of the whole village, whoever has the most stones will be the village head.

The old birthday star nodded with a smile after listening, "Okay, okay, let's do it this way, it's interesting."

Seeing someone take out a small bamboo basket, the old birthday star shook his head again and again, "Put it directly in front of them. What kind of basket do you take? You have chosen the stone, the bigger one."

Everyone had no choice but to withdraw the bamboo baskets, and each family distributed a palm-sized stone. When it came to Shanzao, Chu Yunfeng naturally took it.

Shanzao glanced at the side slightly, Wang was holding a stone, it seemed that her husband had gone out again, seeing the older child squatting on the ground playing with ants, sucking his nose, Shanzao sighed slightly in his heart, Wang It's really not easy for a person.

According to the old birthday star, the three of them had to talk to win some people for themselves. Yan San was the first to appear on the stage.

"I am a person who can sing a few words. If everyone chooses me, I will play a part for you in a while." Everyone agreed, and he continued, "Actually, what is the purpose of being the village chief? To do things for everyone, right? I, Yan San, am a warm-hearted person. I don’t want to do anything else, just want us to live in the same village. If you can trust me, Yan San, if you can trust me over the past few decades, then choose me, don’t choose me, It means that I, Yan San, are not good enough. Hmm... so, no matter whether you choose or not, when the theater troupe comes tomorrow, I will dress up for everyone, just for fun!"

After he finished his joking speech, he won a lot of applause from the crowd.

"Really don't choose to dress up?" Someone in the crowd yelled, Yan San hurriedly agreed, "I really don't think I'm someone, don't choose to dress up!"

Everyone laughed.

When it came to Uncle Shoucheng, he also laughed, "It doesn't matter who you choose, anyway, they are doing things for the village." Unlike Yan San, he just said this simple sentence, and it was over.

Father Niu was even more speechless. He stood there for a long time, moved his mouth a few times without making a sound, held it in for a long time, and finally uttered a word, "En."

The old birthday star was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, pointing his cane at Old Niu and shaking it non-stop, "Niuzi, what can you ask my uncle to say...you can really piss me off."

Not only the old birthday star, but even Niu Yong was taken aback for a moment and then laughed. Everyone laughed even harder this time.

The result of the next selection was very unexpected. Father Niu had the most stones in front of him, while Uncle Shou Cheng and Yan San had only two or three stones in front of them.With such a result, Uncle Shou Cheng was fine with it, and Yan San's face was a little ugly.

"Third Uncle, you can say it. If you can't be selected, you have to pretend to be one. You can't lie!" Er Shuan said to Yan San with a smile, and did not forget to look at Yan Wu provocatively.

Yan San burst out laughing, "Don't underestimate your third uncle, you are all waiting, tomorrow third uncle will sing a section of "Huaihe Camp" for you, 'No jokes are allowed here...'"

Saying that, Yan San put on a posture and sang a few lines.

Father Niu had a bitter face. He obviously didn't say anything, so why did he become the village head?
