In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

Zhao Shuzhuo had been paying attention to the movements here. Seeing that Cheng Si stopped talking, he already understood his intention.

So, Zhao Shuzhuo cleared his throat, raised his voice, and officially announced to everyone:

"Well, after careful consideration and everyone's recommendation, I solemnly announce an important decision here."

"Comrade Cheng Si was immediately promoted to the village chief of Jianye Village. Uncle Cheng Si has been in our village for many years and has been silently contributing."

"His character, ability and familiarity with the village are obvious to all. I believe that under his leadership, our Jianye Village will usher in a brighter future."

"Now, let's welcome Village Chief Cheng Si with the warmest applause!"

As soon as Zhao Shuzhuo finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the crowd.

The applause was like a surging tide, one wave after another, echoing in the sky above the village for a long time, as if cheering for the new beginning of Jianye Village.

Under the focus of everyone's attention, Cheng Si's face turned red in an instant, and the red color seemed to overflow from his cheeks and spread to his ears.

However, he still tried to maintain his composure, cleared his throat, and said to the villagers gathered around him in a steady and powerful voice:

"My fellow villagers, everyone knows me, Cheng Si. I am an ordinary person and I don't have any extraordinary abilities."

"I just spent some time on carpentry and studied it a little more thoroughly. I can barely be considered proficient in it."

"On weekdays, I rely on this little skill to make furniture and repair doors and windows for everyone. With my warm heart, I help my neighbors solve some small problems in life."

"When it comes to being a village chief, I really don't have much experience. In our village, I have always been the one who follows others and does things."

“Even in my own home, I always follow the arrangements of my elders and am led forward.”

At this point, Cheng Si paused slightly, his eyes revealed a firm look, and then said:

"But, fellow villagers, please rest assured that now that I am here, I will not back down. I will definitely learn how to become a qualified village chief with the most positive attitude."

"I dare not boast that I will become an outstanding village chief, but I can guarantee it to everyone."

"I will try my best to be a village chief who is truly useful to everyone. I will listen to everyone's voice with my heart."

“He pays attention to every need in the village and works tirelessly day and night for the development and prosperity of our village.”

Cheng Si's eyes slowly swept over everyone present, a simple smile appeared on his face, and he continued:

"One more thing, everyone doesn't have to worry. Even if I am lucky enough to become the village chief, if anyone in the village has a wedding, they will need to make furniture or do some carpentry work."

"I, Cheng Si, will never shirk my responsibilities. I will do my best to get the job done for you all as usual."

"This craft is not only the foundation of my life, but also the bond between me and my fellow villagers. No matter how my status changes, this friendship will never change."

As Cheng Si's words fell, it was like a stone dropped into a deep pool, and silence fell all around.

He stood there, feeling a little uneasy and awkward, with a trace of discomfort gradually spreading across his expression.

In order to break the deadlock, Cheng Si bent down slightly, bowed deeply to everyone, and said:

"thank you all."

His voice was particularly clear in the silence, and it was this voice that brought the villagers, who were immersed in their own thoughts, back to their senses.

Realizing that the new village chief's speech had ended, after a moment's pause, thunderous applause broke out, echoing in this small village.

Zhao Shuzhuo looked up at the sky. The sun had already risen high in the sky. It was indeed getting late.

He took a step forward and raised his voice to speak to the villagers:

"Okay, folks, today's election went smoothly and ended successfully."

"Everyone has been busy all morning and is tired. Let's go home. Thank you for your hard work."

His words were filled with an unquestionable authority, which came from the prestige he had accumulated in the village over the years.

Following Zhao Shuzhuo's order, the crowd began to slowly surge forward, everyone talking in low voices as they dispersed towards their respective homes.

At this moment, Zhao Shuzhuo's eyes fell on the Qin and Dan families who were about to turn around and leave.

Qin Jun and Shan Haizhu were originally moving with the crowd, and were confused by the sudden roll call.

The two of them looked at each other, and although they were full of confusion, they still stopped and stayed where they were.

He waited quietly for Zhao Shuzhuo's next words, secretly wondering what was going on.

At this time, Zhao Shuzhuo quietly watched the crowd gradually disperse, and the noisy venue slowly returned to calm.

In the empty house, only Wang Jianguo, He Yushui, Cheng Si and a few others were left. He raised his head slightly, his eyes slowly swept over the people in front of him, thinking secretly in his heart.

There were not many people around at the moment, so he did not need to worry too much about what he said. So he frowned slightly, his eyes showing seriousness and dissatisfaction.

He walked straight towards Wang Jianguo and He Yushui, and criticized them in a low but unquestionable harsh voice:

"My two elder brothers, we have been together in private, and our friendship is self-evident. You have always been like my brothers."

"I remember how much you have taken care of me in life. But we can't just talk about personal matters today."

"From a public perspective, I am now serving as a captain and a public servant."

"You all know that I have to do my job. I am responsible for the morale and order of the entire village."

"But look at what you have done today? Just for the position of village chief, which may be just a small official position in the eyes of others."

"You guys actually got to the point of wanting to fight. If this gets out, Director Song will know about it."

"Or if the village chiefs or captains of other villages find out, where will I put my face?"

"How can I advocate civility and harmony in front of everyone? How can I ask the villagers to abide by the rules?"

Zhao Shuzhuo's voice echoed in the house, and every word seemed to hit everyone's heart heavily.

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his hands unconsciously waved slightly to add force to his words.

After saying this, the room fell into a brief silence. Qin Jun and Shan Haizhu were like two children who had done something wrong.

They lowered their heads, staring at the ground beneath their feet, their faces full of regret and shame.

His lips trembled slightly, but he remained silent, as if he was deeply reflecting on his own wrong behavior.
