Otherworldly Days

Chapter 175 Reelection of the Village Chief

Two days later—the morning sun rose, and the whole village gathered at the gate of the ancestral hall of Caojia Village, old and young.People from the Sun clan also came, and there were not many of them. Sun Yanshan stood beside an old man, who was a respected old man of the Sun family. There are several men around.Seeing what they were whispering, it seemed that these people were undoubtedly the ones elected by the elders of the Cao clan to be the village chiefs. Without exception, they were all members of their families, or they were the closest blood relatives.

Cao Xiangnan stood beside Lizheng, and Cao Gang was with him, and they didn't let the family members come.Two days is enough for him to play tricks. With so many workers in his hands now, these people must support them.Furthermore, with the addition of a group of working buddies in his family, Chen Hong can fight against ten by himself, and he doesn't even catch the wind in the village to their side.

Of course, he also knew that the elders of the group were also running around the village secretly, and asked people to support them, and the outcome would be known soon.He came to see how their strength crushed those old men!

"Folks, today is the day when we elect the head of Caojia Village." Li Zheng walked out, and as soon as he walked out, everyone immediately fell silent.Maybe even Lizheng himself doesn't know how much prestige he has in Caojia Village. "Every villager in our Caojia Village has the right to choose a village head that he wishes in his heart. This is related to the interests of each of our villagers. We have chosen a good village head..."

These two days were enough for Cao Xiangnan to brainwash Li and fill his mind with some democratic ideas.After some beatings by him, he really lived up to his expectations, and now Lizheng has learned three points in speaking.

Li Zheng's words resonated with the villagers below. They have never participated in the election of the village head in Caojia Village for a hundred years. The village head has always been decided by the elders of the clan, and some even died Ziji, and now Lizheng said that they can also choose someone they think is good as the village head.

"Next, the person who is elected to be the next village head of Caojia Village will stand up. If anyone thinks that being the village head is good for the local area, they can also stand on it. All the villagers here will choose one The village head that everyone thinks is good comes out." After a long speech, Li Zheng brought this topic to the real business.

Cao Xiangnan glanced at Cao Gang, the two looked at each other, he nodded to each other, Cao Gang was the first to stand beside Li Zheng. "go!"

"Hurry up and go up!"

Seeing so many people, the few men selected by the clan elders stood there hesitantly, not daring to move forward.These old men were so annoyed that their beards were going up. Fortunately, after they walked out for the first time, the few behind followed suit.

No one from the Sun Clan went up, Grandpa Sun stood there watching with his descendants, and did not appoint anyone from the clan to go up to grab the position of village chief.Sun Yanshan lowered his head, not knowing what to say in the old man's ear, the old man followed his gaze, and it was Cao Jiashiro standing there, the old man nodded.

"Come here one by one, tell me why you want to be the village head, and if you become the village head, what can you do for the villagers." Li Zheng raised his hand, looked around, and waited for the silence below , he said.

People who once stood on the stage with thousands of horses and horses below them have never been timid, not to mention that there are only a few hundred villagers in the area. Cao Gang was the first to stand up, and a powerful voice came out, "I am here!" , Cao Gang, if he becomes the village head of Caojia Village today, everyone in Caojia Village will be able to eat, no one will starve to death in Caojia Village, and no one will die from cold in the cold winter , will make everyone's life better day by day!"

This used to be his deepest wish, but it was a pity that he could only watch his soldiers starve to death one by one when the court's dry food ran out that year, and saw one after another sleeping at night in the cold winter. The frozen dead body was carried out from his face the next day.Thinking of the helpless things in those years, the moment this stubborn man stood on the stage, tears almost fell from his eyes, and he became more determined in what he was going to do now.

If it wasn't for Cao Xiangnan today, Cao Gang would be just a coward who dared not face the past, and now he is here.If you want to manage thousands of troops well, you must first ensure that these hundreds of people can eat and live a good life.

Cao Gang raised his hand and swear to the sky, "I, Cao Gang, swear to everyone in Caojia Village here. If I break my oath in the future and cause people in the village to starve to death, freeze to death, or die unjustly, I, Cao Gang, Just about to be struck by lightning from the sky, and I will never be reborn forever!"

When the first cry came out, the people below followed suit.

At that moment, Cao Xiangnan seemed to be able to feel the strong desire in this person's heart. Unlike him, an outsider who only seeks his own convenience and interests, this person is actually living in this era. Really want to do good things for the people.

Several men on the stage looked at each other, lowered their heads, no one dared to stand on the stage again.The clan elders in the audience wished they could go up with crutches and beat those who failed to live up to expectations.

After Cao Gang finished speaking, he stood beside Li Zheng, and Cao Xiangnan patted Cao Gang on the shoulder, showing his silent support for his brother.

"Aren't you all going to rush to become the village chief of Cao's Village? If you don't come up to speak, it will be considered that you have given up." Li Zheng stared at the few who were still standing there, and said.

"We elected Cao Gang as the head of our Caojia Village!"

The shouts below caused a huge wave, almost drowning the people on the stage, and no one dared to come out again.

Cao Xiangnan snorted and laughed. In the whole village of Caojia Village, apart from the people on their side, there really is no one who can guarantee that the people in Caojia Village will live a good life and that they will not freeze to death in the cold winter.

"Since this is the case, no one will stand up again. Only Cao Gang vowed to be the village head of our Caojia Village and let everyone live a good life. Then, I will announce here that the next village head of Caojia Village will be Cao Just now!" Li Zheng announced the new village head of Caojia Village, ignoring the clan elders who were eager to jump out.

Even if some clan elders wanted to object, they couldn't resist the villagers' insistence on electing Cao Gang as the head of their Caojia Village.

No one in the audience raised any objections, and Cao Gang, the village head, was almost expected by everyone in the local area.

"Now that the village chief has been elected, we will elect two deputy village chiefs to assist the village chief in the future." Li Zheng stood up and said.

Hearing Li Zheng's words, did he realize that there are two deputy village chiefs?Some people wanted to try to fight for the deputy village chief.

Just now, my own people did not elect the village head, and the clan elders wanted their people to compete for the deputy village head. After all, they are also the village head, right?

The new village management organization was proposed by Cao Xiangnan, and it was confirmed after some discussions.The members here are all elected by the villagers. In the future, the clan elders will no longer decide the affairs of the village, completely deprive them of their power, and no longer let the clan control the village.

Among the two village chiefs elected later, one was Sun Yanmiao from the Sun family, and the other was Cao Gui from their Cao family. None of the people elected by the clan elders was elected.The two deputy village chiefs also stood up and let the villagers choose them based on their own abilities.

Then there were ten village representatives, all of them stood on the stage one by one, and the villagers elected ten representatives, all of whom were considered by the villagers to be morally competent, and became representatives of their Caojia Village.There is also a brother among them, Chen Hong.Chen Hong got the support of most of the brothers in the village. Cao Dapeng, a simple and honest man, was proud when he saw his wife was selected.

It was Cao Xiangnan's proposal to let Chen Hong be the representative, and Chen Hong herself had the intention to be the representative, and it was decided after discussion.Chen Hong is now running in the village and can help him with a lot of things. Chen Hong's identity also represents the interests of some brothers, which is also a good thing.

It was also Cao Xiangnan's proposal for Cao Gui to be the deputy village chief. He liked this person's honesty and prudence in doing things.As for the member of the Sun family, Cao Xiangnan knew about it in advance. With Sun Yanshan's guarantee, it was good to think about it. He also intended to help the Sun family to balance the dominance of the Cao family.

Cao Xiangnan knew that Cao Gang would not be the head of Caojia Village for too long, at most three or two years, and he would train a new person later.Originally he preferred Cao Dapeng, but now that Chen Hong has become the representative, it is not good to let Cao Dapeng go, lest others gossip, this Cao Gui is still more successful than Cao Dapeng.

And this time the election also developed as Cao Xiangnan hoped, and most of the people in it were his own people.

The villagers of Caojia Village did not know that what they did today changed the fate of their village in the future.

"Today's village head, deputy village head, including the elected representatives, will not always be in this position. In the future, the village head and deputy village head of Caojia Village, including me, the Lizheng position, will be held every three years. The election is held once a year, and at that time, everyone will choose whoever you think can be the village head, deputy director, and representative." Li Zhengjin was satisfied with the people he elected.

Mrs. Sun stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Cao Jiashiro, he is a good boy." Even after he has lived for most of his life, he can still find that Cao Jiashiro, who has been standing in the audience, is the leader of this matter Or, he also heard a lot about this kid from Sun Yanshan beforehand.

In the past, Cao's people had the final say in Cao's Village, and Sun's moved to Cao's Village later. There are only a few people, and they can't talk about anything in the village.But it will be different from now on. Cao Gang married his elder brother of the Sun family, so he is half of their Sun family. Some of their Sun family have also become deputy village chiefs, and three of them have joined ten villagers. The representative is inside, and these people will be able to work for their Sun family in the future, and they will no longer be oppressed by the Cao family.

Now Cao Silang has also recruited members of their Sun family to do things, and their Sun family has finally made it through.

The clan elders standing on the side want to object, even if they object now, no one will care about them, they can only jump around angrily, and none of their own family members are elected.Fortunately, they still have a chance to choose again three years later. They still have a chance but they don't know it. Before they die, they don't have a chance to see their family turn over again.

After half a day, the new management members of Caojia Village were born.

Caojia Village set up a separate village office. In the future, any matter in the village will be discussed in this office. The place will be temporarily in the old house where Cao Gang lived. offices.

After two days of busy work, the matter finally came to an end.

By the end of the election, the people rushing to work had already left, and there were still people staying at the gate of the ancestral hall, and the villagers were still immersed in joy.A group of old men left angrily. Cao Gang still had things to do later. Just at this time, Sun Yanshan came over and said that their old man wanted to see him. After talking to Cao Gang, he followed Sun Yanshan.

Cao Xiangnan went to see the old man, and this old man did not take advantage of his seniority to put on airs in front of him, a junior, and was polite to him.I heard that the old man brought the entire Sun family to Caojia Village. Although he didn't understand that the old man brought his clansmen to such a remote place like Caojia Village, he didn't ask.

From the old man's conversation, it seems that he is also a person who has read the book. The other party is a little polite to him, and he has a little more respect for the old man.

After seeing the old man, he refused the old man to ask him to stay for dinner, saying that there are still people at home waiting for him to go back.Cao Xiangnan came out from the inside, and the people waiting outside personally sent him out.

Work in the village stopped for half a day, and it started to resume in the afternoon.

After Cao Xiangnan returned home, the events in the village did not affect them. Before entering the door, he heard the laughter of the children in the yard, and a smile appeared on his face.He knocked on the door, and it was Liu Baishu who came to open the door for him, and let him in.

"Father..."

"Uncle Uncle..."

A group of children rushed over enthusiastically, Cao Xiangnan smiled and touched the heads of each little carrot. Now he is used to having so many children in the family and being so lively with the family.

"Brother Cao Gang and the others may take a while to come back." Cao Xiangnan said.

At this time, the family had already had lunch, and seeing Fu Lang came back, Qi Wanfeng went to make lunch for Fu Lang again.

As for the elder brother who died by jumping into the lake in the village, Cao Xiangnan paid someone to buy a thin coffin, and invited someone to find a place with good Fengshui to bury him, hoping that he would have a good pregnancy in the next life.On the sunny side of the mountain, a new tomb was erected, and a small white flower bloomed on the side, swaying in the wind.
