Chapter 1098: Getting an Official Position
Chenjia, Yongshengtun.
As soon as Chen Dalai, Zheng Guangjun and Zheng Guangcai came back from the mountain and entered the house, Zheng Guangjun asked in confusion: "Where is my sister?"
"Then who knows?" Chen Dalai said as he walked into the inner room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his son Chen Youliang lying on the kang and sleeping.
This little guy has a very strange appearance, with one foot wearing a shoe and the other not.
"Son!" Chen Dalai patted Chen Youliang's bare feet and asked, "Where's your mother?"
"Dad!" Chen Youliang opened his eyes and saw Chen Dalai. He jumped up from the kang and threw himself into Chen Dalai's arms, choking with sobs, "My mom has gone to Lao Zhao's house."
"Old Zhao's family?" Chen Dalai frowned and asked, "Which old Zhao's family? Why are you crying?"
"Dad, I was beaten up." Chen Youliang wiped his tears and said, "My mom and my second uncle, they went to find someone else."
"Who did you ask to fight?" Upon hearing what Chen Youliang said, Zheng Guangjun asked, "Did your mother go to fight someone?"
At this time, Chen Dalai raised his hand to stop Zheng Guangjun, and then asked Chen Youliang: "Who let you hit?"
"Zhang Ling'er." Chen Youliang said the name, Chen Dalai and the others were relatively unfamiliar with it. Zheng Guangcai even asked Chen Youliang: "Who is Zhang Ling'er?"
"Big Crotch's daughter." After Chen Youliang said this, Chen Dalai and the others knew it, but Chen Dalai gently pushed Chen Youliang and said, "Son, Dad is telling you, that big... that thing is an elder, you have to call him Uncle Zhang when you see him, you can't call him by a nickname."
"Dad, I know." Chen Youliang said aggrievedly: "If I didn't say so, you wouldn't know who it was?"
Chen Dalai blinked his eyes when he heard this, while Zheng Guangjun raised his hand and tapped Chen Youliang, pouting and saying, "Second nephew, you can't even beat a little girl, you are really screwed."
"It's not just her." Although Chen Youliang is young, he felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zheng Guangjun say that. He made up an excuse for himself and said, "Are they a group of people?"
"A bunch of people?" Chen Dalai asked him, "Who else?"
"And those two brats from Old Zhao's family." Chen Youliang couldn't help but get angry as he spoke. How could he not be angry after getting beaten up and losing his shoes?
"The Zhao family?" Chen Dalai was about to ask which Zhao family he meant, but Chen Youliang took the initiative to explain to him, "Dad, the Zhao family that you guys are good at hunting."
"Ah..." Chen Dalai realized which family his son was talking about and asked hurriedly, "Did your mother go to their house?"
Chen Dalai felt a headache when he thought about his wife going to the Zhao family because of the children’s fight.
"Ah!" Chen Youliang nodded heavily and said, "They beat me so hard that my shoes were lost."
Chen Dalai: “…”
Zheng Guangjun and Zheng Guangcai: "..."
"No?" Then Chen Dalai remembered something and asked Chen Youliang hurriedly, "Why did they beat you?"
Chen Dalai's question hit the nail on the head. Chen Youliang said confidently, "I'll ask Zhang Ling'er, his father is in big trouble..."
"Who said his father is in trouble?" Chen Dalai glared and shouted, interrupting Chen Youliang, "Who told you that?"
"Didn't the second uncle of the Li family say that this morning?" The second uncle of the Li family that Chen Youliang mentioned was Li Ruhai. He was not much younger than Li Ruhai, so Li Ruhai was the younger uncle.
"Did he say that?" Chen Dalai rolled his eyes at Chen Youliang. This time he knew why his son was beaten. Chen Dalai looked at the clock on the wall and asked Chen Youliang, "How long have your mother and the others been gone?"
"I've been gone all afternoon." Chen Youliang's answer startled Chen Dalai and the other two. Zheng Guangjun exclaimed, "Oh my god!" and asked, "Could my sister have started a fight with them?"
"No! Your sister doesn't dare... No!" Chen Dalai said halfway and quickly changed his words: "Zhao Jun's mother is not that person."
With that, Chen Dalai stood up and walked out, and Zheng Guangjun and Zheng Guangcai hurriedly followed him. But Chen Dalai did not take them with him and asked them to stay at home.
Chen Dalai came out of his house and arrived at Zhao Jun's house in a few minutes.
Seeing another stranger coming, the three red dogs barked at Chen Dalai non-stop. As they barked, the three dogs from the Li family next door followed suit.
"Is anyone home?" Chen Dalai shouted several times at the gate of the yard, but the only answer he got was the barking of a dog.
Chen Dalai walked across the yard and came to the front of Zhao's house. After knocking on the door, he opened it and went in.
The moment the door opened, Chen Dalai heard strange noises coming from the inner room.
"Aunt Zhao." Chen Dalai shouted, and then the group of people watching TV in the room noticed who was coming.
"Oh my god!" Seeing Chen Dalai, Zheng Linying subconsciously stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see you." Just as Chen Dalai finished his words, the TV screen in the room flashed and turned into a screen full of snow.
There was a sudden shouting in the room, and the old lady hurriedly called Zhu Jiang, "Boy, come and see what's going on."
In the old lady’s simple mind, since Zhu Jiang is an electrician, he can handle everything related to electricity.
Zhu Jiang was also confused, and at this time Wang Meilan smiled and waved her hand at Chen Dalai, saying: "It's over, your shouting has made our big color TV no longer have anyone!"
"Ah?" Zheng Linying was shocked when she heard this. She believed it and immediately fell into panic. No matter how well off her family was, this big color TV meant a lot of money to her family. If she lost money, she would suffer a lot.
"Yingzi, Auntie is just joking with him." Wang Meilan smiled and took Zheng Linying's hand, saying, "Let's buy it. The person who sold it told me that sometimes the signal is not good, it will be like this."
"Mother-in-law." Hu Sanmei said, "Could it be that she is tired?"
"Huh?" Wang Meilan was stunned, and everyone looked at Hu Sanmei.
Hu Sanmei pointed at the TV with a screen full of snow and said, "The big color TV has been talking and singing for three or four hours. Even an animal would be tired. How can it not be tired?"
"That's right!" Zhao Ling said to Wang Meilan, "Sister, why don't we let it rest for a while?"
"Then let's take a break." Wang Meilan readily followed suit. In fact, she had no choice but to take a break, so she simply decided not to send anyone out.
Just like that, Wang Meilan, who was still not satisfied, turned off the TV, unplugged the power plug, and then carefully covered the TV with the original cloth cover.
While Wang Meilan was doing these things, everyone else was watching her every move intently.
It’s nothing, it’s just new. It’s the first time I’ve seen a covered TV.
"Oh my!" He couldn't even watch TV anymore. When Zhu Jiang got off the ground, he exclaimed, "My legs are numb."
"Slow down." Wang Meilan said to him, "Move slowly, move slowly."
"It's okay, auntie." Zhu Jiang put on his bag and said to Wang Meilan, "If anything happens at home, call me again."
"I'm sure you'll have to suffer." Wang Meilan agreed with a smile. Zhu Jiang said goodbye to everyone and left in a hurry.
"My girl!" After Zhu Jiang left, Chen Dalai found Xiao Lingdang sitting on the kang and said to her, "Your little brother is a bad-mouthed man. I just went home and beat him up."
Chen Dalai said this to show his attitude. After hearing this, Xiao Lingling stood up and said, "Master, it's okay. I was wrong..."
"Oh my!" After listening to the conversation between Xiao Lingdang and Chen Dalai, Zheng Linying clapped her hands, looked at Wang Meilan and said with a wry smile: "Aunt, you said I was here, so I would sit here and watch TV with you. I have something to do, and I forgot to tell you."
After saying this, Zheng Linying didn't give anyone a chance to speak. She slapped Chen Dalai on the arm and said, "You should just beat him up. He just keeps saying whatever he wants."
Wang Meilan, who had been smiling just now, now only smiled faintly and asked Zheng Linying, "What's the matter, Xiaoyingzi? I think your little one is quite sensible, not that annoying kid, right?"
People are related by degree. Although they are all relatives, in Wang Meilan's eyes, Chen Dalai is definitely not as good as Zhang Yuanmin. The kid from the old Chen family said that Zhang Yuanmin was terrible, and Wang Meilan and her friends thought that it was said by an adult in his family, and then let the child hear it.
"Aunt, this is what happened." Zheng Linying explained to Wang Meilan, Xiao Lingdang, and others: "This morning, my shopkeeper and my two brothers went up the mountain, and when they were done, they saw ..."
At this point, Zheng Linying glanced at Jin Xiaomei and said, "Look at Ruhai."
"Huh?" Jin Xiaomei was startled when she heard that, and subconsciously asked, "Why were you watching him the other day?"
"Oh..." Zheng Linying frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I can't remember what time it was. Anyway, he said he was going to the toilet, and I asked him why he had to go so far to the toilet."
After hearing what Zheng Linying said, Jin Xiaomei twitched her lips and remained silent.
"At that time, I went upstairs and downstairs to get millet seeds." Zheng Linying continued, "After that, I heard my shopkeeper asking Ru Hai and Da... "
Zheng Linying almost blurted out Zhang Yuanmin's nickname, but luckily she reacted quickly and changed the subject in time: "Ask about that old Zhang. Didn't I hear that he was injured in the mountains? My shopkeeper is worried about him. It's over... Ruhai said that old Zhang's condition is quite serious this time, and he is almost dead. My kid came back from the toilet and heard something wrong, thinking he was in serious condition."
By now everyone knew what happened. Li Ruhai was not wrong. When he said it was a close call, he actually meant that Zhang Yuanmin's condition was quite serious and he almost lost his life.
But Chen Youliang was young and didn’t understand what the five words “it was so close” meant.
If an adult were talking nonsense, it would be wrong. But if it was a twelve-year-old child, even if Yang Yufeng was here, she would not argue with Chen Youliang.
"Okay!" Hearing what Zheng Linying said, Wang Meilan smiled again and waved her hand, saying, "If there is any misunderstanding, just talk it out. Your Damingzi and the aid workers are both very nice. They always go up the mountain together."
The "Da Mingzi" mentioned by Wang Meilan is Chen Dalai Chen Qiming. When Wang Meilan mentioned that he and Zhang Yuanmin went up the mountain, Chen Dalai and Zheng Linying both clicked their eyes and had a thousand complaints in their hearts.
But now Zhang Yuanmin was lying in the hospital, and no one could say anything. Chen Dalai said to Wang Meilan: "Aunt, let's go back then."
As he spoke, Chen Dalai waved his hand at Xiao Lingdang and said, "When the aid worker comes back, I'll go to his house to see him."
"Then why don't you go back?" Wang Meilan said politely, "Just eat here. You said I was busy watching TV and didn't prepare lunch. These people are still pinching their stomachs."
"No, auntie." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Su Xiurong hurriedly said, "Our mouths are not idle either. How much have you eaten?"
In order to watch TV, everyone forgot to eat and sleep, but Wang Meilan did not treat them badly. She took out the cakes she bought in the city yesterday, added melon seeds and peanuts, and everyone was full even though they had not eaten.
Chen Dalai, Zheng Linying and Su Xiurong said goodbye to everyone and walked out. Wang Meilan saw them off.
The moment I stepped out of the yard, I heard a "zillala" sound and the village loudspeaker started to sound.
"Hello! Hello!" Zhao Guofeng tested the sound and said, "Broadcast a notice. Our family area cadres are re-elected. Anyone who wants to run for the director of public security and the director of women's affairs, please come to the village headquarters to register. Broadcast it again, we..."
All the family quarters mentioned by Zhao Guofeng in the notice are Yong'an, Yongsheng, Yongfu and Yongli.
The top leaders of these four villages are actually the directors of public security, but for convenience, everyone calls them village heads, so they call Zhao Guofeng, Qi Shengli and others village heads.
New Year's Day is coming soon, and before New Year's Day there will be job transfers in the forestry department, and at the same time, elections will be held for the cadres of the four family quarters in Yong'an Forest District.
This is a democratic election, fair, just and open. But in fact, there are only two cadre positions in each family quarters, one is the director of public security, and the other is the director of women's affairs.
The rest, such as electricians, accountants, and hygienists, are not officials. Moreover, those jobs require technical skills, and those who don't know how to do them will be useless even if they are elected.
After hearing the announcement on the radio, Chen Dalai was about to say goodbye to Wang Meilan again, but he heard his wife Zheng Linying say to Wang Meilan: "Aunt, why don't you run for the position of Women's Director of our village?"
"What? Me? Director of Women's Affairs?" Wang Meilan was stunned, then her eyes lit up.
"Ah!" Zheng Linying gave Wang Meilan a thumbs up and said, "Aunt, among the women in our village, you are the leader!"
After hearing what Zheng Linying said, Wang Meilan humbly declined, but looking at her flashing eyes, one could tell that Wang Meilan was not calm at this moment.
"Um...Auntie." At this time, Chen Dalai nodded to Wang Meilan and said, "Let's go back."
"Hey!" Wang Meilan raised her hand and said, "Come someday!"
Chen Dalai took Zheng Linying and Su Xiurong away from the Zhao family. On the way home, Zheng Linying was a little unhappy and grumbled to Chen Dalai: "Look, you, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished talking to Aunt Zhao yet."
After watching TV for a few hours at Zhao's house, Zheng Linying couldn't help but want to curry favor with someone who was powerful. In her mind, what was the situation of Zhang Yuanmin's family before? Now, they can go to the hospital when they are sick. And that little Lingling can even show off in the village with a schoolbag worth ten yuan.
Isn't this all because of the Zhao family's support? Zheng Linying also wants to support such a strong family.
"What do you think that thing is for?" Chen Dalai didn't understand his wife's thoughts, and just said, "What does it have to do with you whether she is the director of women's affairs or not?"
"Fuck!" Zheng Linying cursed when she heard Chen Dalai scolding her. She glared at Chen Dalai and said, "What's the matter? Does it have anything to do with me? Do you have something serious to do?"
"Why not?" Chen Dalai looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he said to Zheng Linying, "Guangjun and I will go up the mountain today. We will watch over a group of pigs."
"When have you not been watching the pigs? You have to be able to take them down..." Zheng Linying had just said this when Chen Dalai raised his hand and said, "There must be seventy or eighty of them!"
"How much?" Zheng Linying's eyes widened instantly.
At the same time, in the union activity room of Yongan Forest Farm.
Li Ruhai came in with one hand behind his back, raised his other hand to greet Su Jinbao, and said, "Chairman Su, are you looking at the documents?"
"Secretary Li." Su Jinbao saw that it was Li Ruhai, a smile appeared on his face, and he threw the paper in his hand aside and said, "This has nothing to do with us."
At this point, Su Jinbao remembered something and asked Li Ruhai, "There will be a party on New Year's Day. How are you going to prepare for your performance?"
"Don't worry, Chairman Su." Li Ruhai said with a smile, "We have it under control!"
"Oh, that's fine." Su Jinbao said with a smile, "Then I'll rely on you to serve the dishes."
What this meant was that Li Ruhai was the one who had to take the lead. There was nothing they could do. The men in the forest farm were all out of tune when they sang the chorus. At the last mobilization meeting, only Li Ruhai's "Legend of Little Pigsy" was popular among the workers.
At this time, Li Ruhai walked to Su Jinbao and tilted his head to look at the piece of paper that Su Jinbao had dropped.
It wasn't a document, just a few lines of handwriting. After Li Ruhai quickly read it, he raised his head slightly, and his eyes sparkled with an unprecedented light: "Director of Women's Affairs..."
