Zhao Shuzhuo closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his excited emotions.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Wang Jianguo and He Yushui again, with a more complicated look in his eyes.

I was disappointed with their behavior, but also hoped that they would correct it. Then I said earnestly:

"Look at the two candidates who were voted in today. Their performances are truly admirable."

"When the results came out, they were both trying to give in to each other, and both felt that the other was more suitable for the important role of village chief."

"This is what our village should be like. We all have the same roots and live on the same land."

“We should be like a family, always stay united, make plans and work together for the development of the village.”

Zhao Shuzhuo paused for a moment, his eyes resting on Qin Jun and Shan Haizhu for a moment, and then said:

"Let me talk about you two. It is undeniable that you are both well-known figures in the production team."

"Whether it's plowing the land, sowing seeds, or harvesting and drying the crops, you have done an excellent job in every farm task."

"Every time the team has an important task, you are always at the forefront and are recognized by everyone as good workers."

“With your abilities and experience, you should have taken on more responsibilities in the village and played a greater role in its construction and development.”

"But who could have thought that such a heartbreaking thing would happen today. This is not just a conflict between you individuals, but also a destruction of the united atmosphere of our village."

"So, regarding your future arrangements in the village, I can no longer make decisions as rashly as I did before."

"I have to think carefully and see how you guys perform next."

“Are you really able to recognize your mistakes and have the determination and actions to correct them?”

Qin Jun and Shan Haizhu were filled with regret and self-blame when they heard what Zhao Shuzhuo said. They slowly raised their heads and their eyes met, and they saw deep apology in each other's eyes.

Qin Jun took a step forward, facing Zhao Shuzhuo, and said sincerely:

"Captain, we really know we were wrong. What happened today was completely impulsive on our part. We were blinded by the position of village chief and lost our minds."

"We have deeply reflected on our actions and understand the negative impact it has had on the village."

"Don't worry, from now on, the two of us will get along well and will never fight over anything again."

"We will use practical actions to prove our changes and strive to regain the trust of you and our fellow villagers."

Shan Haizhu's face was full of regret, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement:

"Yes, Shuzhuo. Once this matter is over and we calm down, we are filled with regret."

"Please don't be angry with us anymore. In fact, there is no deep hatred between us that cannot be resolved."

"It was because the old ladies usually got together to chat, and the words got distorted as they were passed around, which led to misunderstandings between us."

"Today, in that atmosphere, I lost control of my temper and did something ridiculous."

As Shan Haizhu spoke, he shook his head helplessly, his face full of regret for his impulsive behavior.

Zhao Shuzhuo looked at the two of them and saw that their attitudes had changed significantly, and their words were full of sincerity in admitting their mistakes and seeking reconciliation.

He thought that since they had realized their mistake, there was no need for him to be more aggressive or say harsh words to them.

After all, we are all fellow villagers who have lived in the same village for many years. We will meet each other sooner or later, so it is better to maintain harmony.

Then, his expression gradually softened, and he said to them earnestly:

"That's right, this is the right attitude. We all live in the same village, so we should get along well with each other like brothers."

"If you all get along well, I, as the captain, will have less worries at work, and the affairs of the village will be easier to advance."

"The development of our village depends on the efforts of everyone, and more importantly, on an atmosphere of unity and harmony."

"Since you have all realized your mistakes, I can't help but give you a chance."

"I will give you a chance to reform. I hope you can remember today's lesson and not make the same mistake again."

Zhao Shuzhuo looked up at the sky. It was past noon, and the sun was shining on the ground, making it look golden. He waved his hand and continued:

"Okay, it's getting late, it's time to eat. Don't waste time here, go home."

"Go back and have a good talk with your family, let this matter go, and live a good life from now on."

Qin Jun and Shan Haizhu noticed that the harshness in Zhao Shuzhuo's words gradually faded, and his tone became more gentle and tolerant, and their tense expressions relaxed.

They smiled at each other. Although there was still a hint of embarrassment and apology in their smiles, there was more gratitude for Zhao Shuzhuo's understanding.

Then, the two of them nodded slightly, turned around and walked slowly towards their respective homes.

Zhao Shuzhuo noticed that Cheng Si was waiting quietly by the side, with a hint of uneasiness and anxiety on his face.

He patted Cheng Si's shoulder gently and said with a smile:

"Uncle, don't be so nervous. Although the job of village chief is a big responsibility, it is not as difficult as you think."

"Go home and have lunch and take a good rest. I will take you to Director Song this afternoon to make arrangements for the follow-up matters."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Si nodded in agreement, saying:

"Okay, okay."

The expression on his face relaxed a lot, and then he walked home with steady steps.

At this time, only Zhao Shuzhuo, Wang Jianguo and He Yushui were left in the huge village office.

Zhao Shuzhuo felt a deep fatigue rising in his heart like a tide. He dragged his heavy feet to the bench and slowly sat down.

He leaned back, took a long breath, and couldn't help but complain:

"Oh, this has been a hell of a day! There were so many things going on, but now it's finally over."

"Jianguo, you've been going through all this trouble, do you feel okay?" As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of concern as he looked at Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, with a hint of concern and consideration in his eyes, and said softly to Zhao Shuzhuo:

"I'm fine here. I didn't help much. I just watched from the side."
