Golden Fishery

On the first weekend in July, Farewell is even busier than it was on Town Day.

One day in advance, a tall podium was set up, surrounded by flowers, and until the weekend, people were still arranging flowers on it. It was Mr. Hixon who did the work, and these flowers were also moved from his garden. here.

A refined middle-aged man was preparing a speech on the stage. This is Dick Kaufman, Michelle and Gordon's advisor at Grant Elementary School and the moderator in the mayoral election.

St johns small town election one time it's this host and they've been passed down from generation to generation the last one was Dick's father Kaufman Sr and then when he graduated from college it went to his hand.

Elsewhere, Hughes Jr. and his pals were busy tuning the speakers, so that electronic buzzing sounded from time to time in the streets.

Flags fluttered on both sides of the street, and there were many flags hanging, including the national flag of Canada, the provincial flag of Newfoundland, and the propaganda flag of Farewell Town. In addition, some posters were also fluttering in the wind, with the heads of the five candidates on them.

On several major streets, people were constantly distributing leaflets, which introduced the information of the five mayor candidates and their campaign themes. There was no doubt that the most dazzling one was Winnie.

Newfoundland's political circle is the most unique in Canada. They don't know what they are doing. Many places are like the United Kingdom, because they were British territories before World War II, but many places are like Canada, because they returned after World War II. Canada...

The high-level political circles are chaotic, and the low-level political circles at the small town level are naturally not much better. There are endless election farces in various small towns, with dogs elected mayors and cats elected mayors. What's more, there are still dead people elected as mayors...

But Farewell Town is a big town, and the election of the mayor is a major event. The townspeople know very well that the direction of the town needs the guidance of an excellent mayor. They are very serious about this and will choose a mayor who they think is most suitable.

Therefore, although one of the five candidates this time is a dog, everyone understands that this is just for fun and active atmosphere, and no one will actually vote for this dog.

Yes. One of the candidates for the farewell town election this time is a dog, and Qin Shiou only found out about it until now. Little Hughes got a pitbull known as the king of fighting dogs from nowhere a few days ago. It is very fierce and then used it to sign up for the mayoral election.

"What the hell." Qin Shiou beckoned to Shaq, "What happened to that little Hughes dog? Mess, what a serious event, let him do it! Go, take the tiger and leopard to get it done , and then Winnie will have one less competitor!"

Shaq pointed to the grinning dog on the image and said, \

,"This is a bit, very powerful. Tigers and leopards are expected to suffer. "

"Then bring Xiong Da!"

"Can't kill it, son of a bitch!"

The five candidates this time are Acting Mayor Haney Rambo, who is automatically eligible for the election, and three of the four are self-approved by the St. Johns City Hall. The other one was arranged by the city government.

The one appointed by the city government was a customs clerk who came to make soy sauce. This was Hamley's help to Qin Shiou. little stress.

The town's three candidates were Winnie, fisherman and innkeeper Elton Burt, and Hughes Jr.'s pit bull.

It can be seen from the lineup of candidates that Winnie's election is well-received. Everyone is helping her, her competitors are weak, she has arranged the most campaign activities, and her campaign guests are the strongest. If she can't be elected mayor in this way, then what a ghost!

Recently, Winnie has even become a frequent visitor to TV stations and the media. "St. John's Economic News" made a special interview with her, the title is: The most beautiful mayor in the history of Newfoundland is about to wear the crown.

Like other elections, this event is scheduled on the weekend. On Saturday, the candidates will give speeches and develop a conference to answer voters’ questions. At 12 o’clock on Saturday midnight, which is the early morning of Sunday, voters stay up late to vote, and then votes are counted and elected overnight. mayor.

The speech activity starts at one o'clock in the afternoon, and each candidate has half an hour of speech time. At four o'clock, the five candidates sit together to accept questions from voters and industry experts sent by the city government. The link lasts for an hour, and after the end, everyone can go home to eat and discuss the issue of supporting candidates.

In the morning, Winnie was discussing the content of the speech with Auerbach and McCallion, and was finalizing the draft. Qin Shiou went to have a look and saw that there was nothing that needed his help, so he went out for a stroll.

The five candidates all temporarily had a room in the small town hotel. As soon as Qin Shiou came out, he ran into little Hughes. This guy was holding a pitbull in his hand, but it was not an adult dog, but a half-grown puppy. Fierce, goofy with a grin.

Qin Shiou pointed to it and asked, "What is this?"

Little Hughes threatened him: "Boy, you'd better be honest. It's called the butcher, and it's our future mayor. After it's elected, I'll let it eat you as a dish!"

"Why did you suddenly think of raising Bit?" Qin Shiou asked strangely. This kind of dog is very fierce, and it is not allowed to be kept in the city. Of course, it doesn't matter in the countryside. He also raises brown bears and white wolves.

Little Hughes said: "What do you mean by suddenly remembering? Do you remember skiing last year? It was the time you were talking about it."

Qin Shiou said with a dark face: "You don't need to emphasize it, I will remember it, just talk about the topic directly."

"Didn't you let tigers and leopards bully me? I swore to myself that I would raise a fiercer dog to avenge me! Now, the day has finally come!" Little Hughes gritted his teeth deliberately. Said like.

Qin Shiou chuckled, and said contemptuously: "Dude, this is not revenge, this is food delivery. I brought Xiong Da this afternoon. He just didn't have breakfast today. A dog like you is his ration! "

The pitbull is stupid but also very sensitive. It sensed Qin Shiou's deep malice towards him, so he opened his mouth and yelled at him twice.

Qin Shiou nodded to little Hughes and left. He wanted to go back and bring the tigers and leopards.

After dinner in the afternoon, all the townspeople came to the town, preparing to participate in the quadrennial mayor election.

Among the speeches of the five candidates, Hughes Jr.'s pit bull named Butcher was the first to appear. Although this little guy has the tough temperament of a pitbull family, he probably has never seen such a formation before, and was surrounded by thousands of people. Staring at the audience...

So, as soon as Little Hughes let go of the stage, he ran down the stage with his tail between his legs. (to be continued)
