1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 Chapter 137 The election is over (please subscribe)

 Due to the first electoral reform, unlike later generations, every process was very rigorous and various announcements were posted.

 After the town’s election leadership group arrived.

 The loudspeaker sounded again.

 Remind villagers that the deadline for voting is 2 p.m.

So the people in the village took their ballots to the square to cast their votes.

 At two o'clock in the afternoon.

 The people from the Village Election Committee began to seal the ballot boxes, and then began to count the votes.

 It’s almost three o’clock in the afternoon.

 Start counting and counting votes.

 The vote counting is the most tense part of the entire election conference.

The village election committee chose the place for voting to be counted in the classroom of Dandandao Primary School, where there happened to be a large blackboard.

 And the classroom still has a door.

 After being locked up, you can prevent others from causing trouble.

 The onlookers were all lying on the glass windows, and they were surrounded by water.

 The large blackboard was separated by white chalk, and the names of the three candidates were written on them. There was a vote counter under each name.

 As the teller begins to count the votes:

 “Li Niantian”

 “Wang Jinjun”

Each time a name is read, the teller will draw a straight line under the corresponding name.

 “Wang Jinjun”

 “Zhang Jinsha”

 “Li Duoyu”

 When the teller read out Li Duoyu's name, the villagers in the classroom and outside the classroom were all dumbfounded.

 Someone shouted:

“Li Duoyu is not a candidate, so how can he get votes?”

The head of the town’s election leadership group said: “When voters do not approve of a candidate, they can cross out the list of candidates and write the name of the person they want to elect. This is legal.”

 “Fuck, that’s okay too.”

 “If I had known earlier, I would have written my name on it.”

The person in charge continued: "The votes will still be sung, but these votes will be invalid. If more than half of the votes are invalid, this election will be invalid."

 After Li Duoyu’s name appears.

The village election committee had to hire another vote counter to draw a line with chalk next to Zhang Jinsha, who received relatively few votes, and then wrote Li Duoyu's name.

Li Duoyu, who was lying by the window, said with a playful smile and clasped his fists: "Who supports me so much? I didn't participate this year. I will definitely try my best next time."

The person next to me laughed and said:

 “Duoyu, you couldn’t have written it yourself.”

"How is that possible? I will definitely give my vote to my uncle."

 “You are dishonest.”

 The teller kept chanting.

 Candidates Wang Jinjun and Li Niantian were very nervous. They remained silent throughout the process and stared at the blackboard.

 After the voting is over.

 Everyone found that the vast majority of votes were taken by Li Niantian and Wang Jinjun, while Zhang Jinsha’s votes were not much higher than Li Duoyu’s.

 The election personnel began to count the votes. After counting, they said: "There are 2,087 valid votes this time and 86 invalid votes. More than half, the election is valid."

 Hearing this, everyone has understood that since Li Duoyu is not a committee member, most of these invalid votes belong to him.

Li Duoyu also felt it was a pity.

If all the votes for him were given to the uncle, he might actually be able to win against Wang Jinjun.

 The person in charge of the Village Election Committee finally shouted: “After many calculations, the number of votes obtained by the candidates in this election meeting is:

 Wang Jinjun, 1024 photos.

 Li Niantian, 932 photos.

 Zhang Jinsha, 131 photos. "

The head of the town’s leading group announced: “After verification, the results of this election are valid. We will report to the town party committee to conduct a qualification review of the candidates and announce the election results at a selected date.”

Although Wang Jinjun was smiling, he was not very happy because the number of votes was far from what he expected.

　　When the votes were being counted, Li Niantian would have been very tight-lipped, if he had not stuffed red envelopes and given gifts to the villagers, plus his eldest brother’s last resort.

 If the two of them wanted to compete fairly, he would have no chance at all. Thinking of this, Wang Jinjun felt a little numb.

Now there are too many people supporting Li Niantian in Shacun, and what scares him the most is Li Duoyu, who actually got 86 votes despite not being a candidate.

 Faced with such a result.

The Li family had already foreseen it. Although they lost this election, everyone was very satisfied with the result.

 Even in such a bad situation, they still got so many votes. It seems that the villagers still approve of them.

An old comrade from the fishing team came over and said, "Captain, would you like to go have a drink?"

Li Niantian nodded and said:

“Okay, I’m treating you this time, so don’t take it away from me.”

Li Shuguang walked towards Li Duoyu with a smile: "You can do it, kid. When did you bribe so many people?"

 “What’s the bribe? I’m obviously a good person.”

"cut."

Li Shuguang looked at Chen Wenchao: "Don't think about it, Li Duoyu's invalid vote must have been voted by you."

Chen Wenchao said awkwardly: "I didn't know that I could write other people's names. I voted for your father."

 “Well, you didn’t even vote.”

 “Who cast so many votes?”

Li Duoyu could roughly guess who cast it. After all, he had saved some people's lives some time ago.

 The results of this election do not have much impact on most villagers. The fields will continue to be cultivated and the fish will continue to be caught.

 But for Li Yaoguo, the impact was huge.

 His village accounting position.

　　　Not elected, but appointed.

The Wang and Li families are now completely at odds. Now that the Wang brothers have been elected, it is naturally impossible for him to be an accountant anymore.

Seeing his second brother's unhappy look, Li Duoyu said: "If you really can't be an accountant, just become a farmer." Li Yaoguo pushed up his glasses: "Then give me some of the oyster fields."

“Brothers will settle the score, one hundred yuan per acre.”

“I really don’t have any money, so I asked your second sister-in-law to invest in abalone.”

“Then come and work and I’ll give you forty a month.”

 “Damn, Xiaochao is fifty, why am I only forty?”

 “They must do more work than you.”

 “I’ll give you fifty and I’ll hang out with you.”

"I will think about it."

“It’s a shame to think about it. Your second brother is almost unemployed, your nephew is almost out of money for food, and you are still thinking about it.”

Although Li Duoyu acted very relaxed, his face was a little gloomy.

 It’s just that I’m mentally older.

 Having experienced many storms.

  It is no longer as easy as young people to write their emotions and sorrows on their faces.

If the Wang brothers are really elected, they will still have a huge impact on him.

 The worst case scenario is that the village committee may divide the use rights of the sea area around Dandan Island.

 That is very detrimental to the development of Li Duoyu.

 Because as long as the Wang brothers use some tricks to move him farther away, it will be a huge headache.

 What Li Duoyu is most worried about is that their brothers in the city will bring in investors for contracting, just like in their previous lives.

However, Li Duoyu also has an emergency plan.

 Once the Wang brothers are elected.

 His beating will never be in vain.

On the repaired fishing raft, Li Duoyu, Chen Dongqing and Chen Wenchao are sitting on the fishing raft fishing for squid.

Two hundred and fifty is now on the fishing raft again. He keeps running around on the fishing raft, full of curiosity about the fish in the cage.

　　From time to time, I look into the distance, waiting for my friends.

 Chen Dongqing asked: "Duoyu, is that effective?"

 “I feel like the higher-ups may not take notice of it.”

 “It depends on people, just wait for an opportunity.”

Looking at the abalone breeding raft built not far away, Li Duoyu asked: "What is the suitable temperature for abalone?"

Chen Dongqing returned: "The maximum temperature tolerance of wrinkled abalone is 28 degrees, but as long as it exceeds 24 degrees, it will begin to die one after another. The maximum temperature tolerance of variegated abalone is 30 degrees, but once it exceeds 27 degrees, it will also die in large areas. ”

 “What do you think our temperature is now?”

 Chen Dongqing tried the sea water: "It's almost like 24 degrees."

“Do you think it’s possible to raise abalone in this summer’s temperature?”

"Definitely not. It's only a few months now. If the abalone fry go out, they won't survive until mid-July and they'll all be dead."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Then why do you think those two Hong Kong Islanders started driving piles and building raft frames so early?"

 “Let’s give the villagers confidence first.”

Hearing this, Chen Dongqing suddenly woke up: "You mean"

"No, I'm just guessing. After all, many aspects of this matter don't make sense. And I heard the news that the two Hong Kong Islanders not only came to our island, but also went to other fishing villages. Almost everything they said It’s the same thing.”

 Chen Dongqing’s scalp was numb.

 “If something happens, it’s okay.”

 Chen Wenchao on the side was confused. He couldn't understand what they were talking about.

At this time, Li Duoyu felt the fishing rod tremble and immediately lifted it up, revealing a fresh small tube squid.

 After seeing this squid, Li Duoyu was very happy. The squid didn't look very big, and its whole body was only as big as Li Duoyu's palm.

But this kind of squid is very delicious, and the locals call it small tube, also called pen tube.

 After summer, this kind of squid will come from the Pacific Ocean to lay eggs near Dandan Island, and the number is very large.

And at this time, many of them are holding cubs, and the taste is particularly good, especially the freshly caught ones, which are boiled directly without soy sauce and water, and taste fresh and sweet.

But when he was lifting the squid, Xiaoguan's mouth sprayed a large mouthful of ink, which happened to hit Chen Dongqing at the side, turning him into a scholar.

 Chen Dongqing, who had a dark face, cursed on the spot: "It's up to you, did you do it on purpose?"

“It shoots randomly, what can I do?”

 “Just wait for me.”

Not long after, Chen Dongqing also caught a small tube squid and directly held the mouth of the squid to Li Duo's fish.

 “Damn it, don’t run if you have the guts.”

As everyone kept catching squid, Li Duoyu realized that it was the season for the small-tube squid to come to Dandan Island to breed again, so he said to Chen Wenchao: "Would you like to go fishing for small-tube squid together at night?"

 “Okay.” Chen Wenchao.

 Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "I'll go too."

 “Don’t you have to go back to the county at night?”

“It’s summer vacation, and my wife and the children have gone back to live with her parents.”

Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "You guys didn't quarrel, okay? How could my aunt go back to her parents' home?"

 “How can there be a quarrel?”

 Following that, Chen Dongqing whispered a few words in Li Duoyu's ear.

 After learning the truth of the matter, Li Duoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you so careless?"

 “Damn it, it wasn’t you who did the harm. You asked me to keep paying the public food.”

“I didn’t tell you to use live ammunition.”

 “It fell, what can I do.”

"No, I told you half a month ago. You can even find out. It's been at least a month or two. It's none of my business."

"Hahaha."

“Forget it, I just dried some fish maw. When you go back, stew the fish maw for her to eat.”

 “My nephew is still kind to me.”

 “Get out of here, sir, and don’t get stuck with me.”
