Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

Chapter 43: Electing Village Cadres 2

"What do you mean by bullying? Our Fu family's ancestral teachings say that we cannot hit women!"

"That's right, this widow Wang is really bad at talking!"

"Sixth Aunt, you are old, let me do it." Liu Yuer pushed Widow Wang aside and stood steadily in front of the table. Everyone looked at the two of them and shook their heads unconsciously, obviously not very satisfied with them.

At this time, Wu Dazui watched Liu Yuer finish a few simple words, and then gently pushed his daughter-in-law up. Jin Yu hesitated for a moment, looked around, and found that no one else had gone up, so she took a deep breath, walked forward steadily, and stood quietly in front of the table. Everyone looked at Jin Yu and was very surprised. Usually, when Jin Yu was with everyone, she didn't talk much and didn't look up much. Everyone originally thought that she was the kind of person with a quiet temperament. Unexpectedly, she would take the initiative to stand up.

Hello everyone, you may not be familiar with me. Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Jin Yu. I was trafficked here, my family was originally going to seek refuge with relatives, but I was drugged on the road and sold here. My father is a private school teacher, and in our family, no matter boys or girls, we have to start learning calligraphy when we are three years old. Because I am too beautiful, my father taught me not to over-emphasize my beauty in front of others, so I often lower my head. "As she spoke, Jin Yu slowly raised her head, and everyone immediately took a breath of cold air. Her eyes were like a clear pool of autumn water, her nose was three-dimensional and small, and even if she didn't smile, her mouth gave people a feeling of half-smile.

"No matter whether you are good-looking or not, you will always have to endure countless rumors and various discriminatory treatments. I can better understand the suffering of female comrades. I hope I can solve those unfair experiences for everyone. I went to a girls' school and I know how to deal with various problems." After Jin Yu finished speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone.

"Okay, everyone, raise your hands and vote for the three of them now." Fu Gang said in a steady tone. His voice was clearly heard in the noisy environment, attracting everyone's attention.

"Those who support Comrade Wang, please raise your hands." As soon as Fu Gang finished speaking, only seven or eight hands slowly rose. Fu Gang counted carefully, and then said loudly: "There are seven people who support Comrade Wang."

"Please raise your hands if you support Comrade Liu." As Fu Gang's voice sounded again, twelve hands were raised in unison. After Fu Gang finished counting, he announced to the crowd.

"Tiezhu, it seems that only the third grandmother's family raised their hands." Yu Congcong narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the people who raised their hands. She found that the people who raised their hands were gathered in a group, and asked Tiezhu curiously.

"Please raise your hands if you support Comrade Jin." As soon as Fu Gang finished speaking, there was a burst of noise at the scene. A large group of people raised their hands high.

"Okay, no need to count. Comrade Jin won with an overwhelming advantage. Comrade Jin will be our village women's director." Fu Gang announced with a smile and satisfaction.

"Please three comrades go down first. We will then select a custodian. The custodian needs to have good handwriting. Anyone who wants to take this position, please come up and write an article of 'Three Character Classic'." After Fu Gang finished speaking, he walked to the side.

This position was like a hot commodity, attracting a large number of people to apply for it. Members of the Fu family also applied for it.

"Wow, Tiezhu, why are there so many people here? Is their handwriting very good?" Yu Congcong stared at Tiezhu with her big round eyes, and asked curiously as she approached him.

"Well, it's okay! But there must be people who write better. Their handwriting is just a little neater. If we talk about the best handwriting in our clan, it has to be Uncle Gangzi!" Tiezhu scratched his head and said seriously.

"Is it true or not? How come I can't tell at all?" Yu Congcong was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped, and her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg. She looked at Fu Gang's tall and sturdy figure that was like a wall, and then looked at his square face that was serious and as serious as a playing card. It was really hard to associate him with the image of being elegant and easy-going. In her impression, people who write well must be gentle and elegant!

Section Chief Yang told Xiao Liang and the others to quickly arrange seats for the people who were going up. Hey, some people have already finished answering the accounting and cashier questions! There were only two people answering the questions on the accounting side, but there were three on the cashier side, including a female comrade! Yu Congcong saw Fu Yan among the two people answering the accounting questions.

"Tiezhu, has the scholar been released?" Yu Congcong suddenly turned her head and asked Tiezhu.

"Yes, he was released a long time ago. The scholar was released a long time ago, and he explained everything clearly. He did not sell people, nor did he actively buy people. His wife actually begged him to buy her. He said it himself, he never thought about finding a wife at all. He felt that he had no ability, was as timid as a mouse, and had no physical strength. He was afraid that he could not protect his wife." Tiezhu spoke so vividly, as if he had witnessed it all with his own eyes.

"Wow, it's true!" Yu Congcong found it a little unbelievable. Usually when she saw the scholar Fu Yougui, he always had a stern face towards Uncle Yuzi and Uncle Qianzi, looking like an old pedant. She never expected that the scholar had such a side.

"Okay, Fu Lu will be the accountant, and Chen Duo will be the cashier. There is no dispute about their results." Fu Gang's voice rang out in the crowd.

"Chen Duo is amazing, Shanzi found a good wife. Or maybe Shanzi has a unique vision." There was a burst of chatter from the crowd.

"Tiezhu, is Chen Duo the mother of Gou Wa?" Yu Congcong didn't know Chen Duo, and asked uncertainly after hearing the discussion of the crowd.

"Yeah, that's right! Gou Wa always complains that his mother forces him to study. He says he is like his father, he likes martial arts but not studying. He also asked me if I could teach him a few moves!" Tie Zhu continued gossiping with Yu Cong Cong.

"Well, can I ask Grandpa Nan? I haven't seen Grandpa Nan for many days. In the afternoon, Tiezhu, can you carry me to Grandpa Nan?" Yu Congcong looked at Tiezhu with anticipation, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of Tiezhu's clothes.

Tiezhu's heart skipped a beat, as if a little rabbit was jumping around wildly inside him. He was so nervous that his tongue almost got tied, and he stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word.

Yu Congcong thought that her father didn't want her to go because it was unsafe, so she stopped pestering him. Tiezhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The sun quietly climbed up to the sky, and the scorching sun sprinkled on the earth unscrupulously. The place where lush green was was also exposed to the sun, and soon a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on her head.

"Tiezhu, let me go under the eaves! It's so sunny." Yu Congcong muttered while quickly wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

"Okay." Tiezhu responded softly, then he carefully walked towards the edge of the house holding Yu Congcong.

"Xixi, you guys come too." Yu Congcong turned her head and greeted Xixi and Xiaonan with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Okay." Xixi held Xiaonan's hand tightly and followed Tiezhu and Yucongcong closely.

Tiezhu was extremely careful with every step he took, fearing that he would accidentally drop Yu Congcong. When he reached the edge of the house, he put Yu Congcong down even more carefully.

"Tiezhu, let's go and watch them write!" Lush and lively eyes looked towards the front hall. Several tables were filled with people. She was full of curiosity and couldn't wait to take a look.

"Congcong, do you really want to see it?" Tiezhu asked softly.

"Yeah." Yu Congcong nodded vigorously.

Tiezhu hesitated again and again, but finally agreed. He gently picked up Yu Congcong and came to a table. There were three people at the table reciting the "Three Character Classic". Yu Congcong curiously looked at one of the people's papers, and saw clear handwriting on it: "When a person is born, his nature is good. Natures are close, but habits make them different. If not taught, nature will change. The way of teaching is to be focused. In the past, Meng Mu chose neighbors. When her son refused to learn, she broke the loom. Dou Yanshan had a righteous way..." It seemed that he was stuck here, and the man held the pen and thought hard.

This person was out of luck. Although the other two did not get stuck in their writing, their handwriting was not as good as the first one. Yu Congcong and Tiezhu continued to walk towards another table. There were four people at this table, and one of them had already finished writing. His handwriting was pretty good and very neat.

"Okay, since some people have finished writing, it means there is enough time. If you can't finish, don't waste time, just go down!" Fu Gang said loudly, and half of the people left. The remaining half of the people sped up their writing speed.

Tiezhu carefully picked up Yu Congcong and moved aside, fearing that she would be accidentally bumped by people passing by.

After a while, everyone handed in their papers. After Fu Gang carefully looked at them, he returned the papers with poor handwriting, messy surfaces, and dirty papers to them, leaving only three people. He came to the table and asked the three police comrades to open the papers and hold them up for everyone to see.

"These three are the best. Everyone take a look and vote for whoever you think is good. Raise your hands if you support Fu Yuan." As soon as he finished speaking, a total of twenty-three hands were raised.

"Please raise your hands if you support Fu Sen." There was another round of shouting, and a total of twenty-one hands were raised.

"Please raise your hands if you support Fu Yu." Then, there was another round of shouting, and a total of twenty-four hands were raised high.

"Okay. Fu Yu won by one vote. Fu Yu will be the custodian. Today's election of village cadres has been successfully completed. The cadres elected today will stay for the meeting. Everyone else can go home!"

Xiaocao successfully found Yu Congcong and Tiezhu, and then walked out of the courtyard with the villagers and walked slowly outside. After returning home and finishing their meal, Doctor Liu came to see Yu Congcong again.
