1980s: He was picked up and brought home as a son-in-law

Zhou Feng was a little surprised. Chen Jianshe hadn't mentioned any meeting before, but he didn't care.

Each family would send a representative, and Tian Qiushan could go. He didn't want to join in the fun.

Chen Guixiang prepared dinner, which included vegetables, meat and rice.

In the words of little Tian Xiaoyun, the family's living conditions have improved sharply since her brother-in-law came back, and today was a holiday, so the meal was especially sumptuous.

After dinner, Tian Xiaoyue rushed to wash the dishes. Zhou Feng had planned to show his English level to Tian Xiaoxia and her sister, so that they could receive the baptism of English education in the future.

But before he could take any action, he was pulled away by Tian Qiushan.

""Uncle, you just go. I won't go." However

, Tian Qiushan refused uncharacteristically and shook his head, saying,"Secretary Chen specifically asked you to attend and asked me to take you there."

Zhou Feng had no choice but to follow him. However, he could clearly feel that Tian Qiushan was worried, but he didn't care, thinking that his future father-in-law was still worrying about the day's affairs.

When they arrived, the factory was already crowded with people. Representatives from every household had arrived, chatting, bragging, and eating melon seeds. It was very lively.

Chen Jianshe sat in the front with a pipe and smoked it. There was a strange figure sitting next to him. He looked very stylish. Zhou Feng had never seen him before, so he should not be from the village.

Seeing Zhou Feng coming, Chen Jianshe smiled and greeted him.

"Come on, Xiaofeng, let me introduce you to this person, Director Zhao Hongbing of the commune."

Zhao Hongbing shook hands with Zhou Feng enthusiastically and said with a smile:

""Deputy, deputy, hello, comrade Zhou Feng. I have heard of your name for a long time. I am Zhao Hongbing."

Although Zhou Feng had never met Zhao Hongbing before, he had heard of him many times. Before, when Wu Yongfei returned to Beijing, he told them to go to the commune to find Zhao Hongbing if they had any business.

Knowing that this person was the deputy director of Hongshi Commune, Zhou Feng guessed a little about the content of today's meeting. It was probably related to the election of village cadres.

Tian Qiulin had been appointed as the village accountant before, but the position of village chief had been vacant after Sun Fuqiang went in. It seemed that there would be an election.

After everyone gathered, Chen Jianshe confirmed Zhou Feng's guess. Today was the election for the village chief. Zhao Hongbing came here to do a notarization and to wait for the election results to come out and directly appoint him.

Since the introduction of the household contract responsibility system, village cadres have been paid wages by the public. The commune and the village share the responsibility, so village cadres are very popular.

Everyone wants to have this job, but not everyone can be the village chief. The village chief must be someone with prestige in the village, and he has many responsibilities to bear. The most important thing for the commune is to collect agricultural taxes.

If you don't have the skills to collect taxes, you really can't do it. No one is rich, and the drama of crying, making a fuss, and hanging yourself may happen at any time.

Therefore, the selection of the village chief is very important. You must be able to control people and convince the masses, otherwise even if you have great abilities, you will be at a loss.

It was the first time for Zhou Feng to participate in this kind of village cadre election. He watched it with gusto, but what surprised Zhou Feng was that Chen Jianshe did not announce the candidates at all, but wanted to directly elect them.

"I have communicated with you before. You can directly write down the person you want to vote for on the paper. Director Zhao will count the votes later."

Zhou Feng looked at the pen and paper in his hand and was a little confused. He didn't know who to vote for.

He asked Tian Qiushan in a low voice and found out that when he was in Beijing, the village notified him of the election. Generally, the candidates were selected from the existing team leaders, so there was no need to announce the candidates.

Zhou Feng asked about the situation of several team leaders and filled in one based on his feeling.

When Zhou Feng handed in the ballot, he saw Chen Jianshe smiling at him all the time. He felt a little scared because he didn't know what was wrong with this old man.

Zhao Hongbing sorted out a stack of ballots, prepared the blackboard and chalk, and counted the votes on the spot.

Zhou Feng, who was waiting to watch the excitement, was dumbfounded when Zhao Hongbing started counting the votes. He understood in an instant. He understood why Tian Qiushan was worried, and finally knew where Chen Jianshe's inexplicable smile came from.

This is definitely not a good intention!

Zhao Hongbing picked up the ballot and smiled at Zhou Feng, and said loudly:

"Zhou Feng."

The vote counter quickly wrote Zhou Feng's name on the blackboard and wrote a

"Zhou Feng"

"Zhou Feng"...

Soon, a positive word was formed, and Zhou Feng was dumbfounded.

He didn't believe that this was the result of the villagers' voluntary election. How long has he been in the village? Where does his prestige come from?

A shady deal!

A secret operation!

The village chief election cheated, and I was the protagonist?

Zhou Feng winked at Chen Jianshe frantically, but the latter turned a blind eye and did not look sideways, acting in a fair and open manner.

Zhou Feng used his eyes to ask his father-in-law what was going on.

Tian Qiushan was helpless, secretly thinking that he had miscalculated. If he had known, he would not have sat with him. Now he couldn't hide.

He could only whisper to Zhou Feng that when he was not back to the village, Director Wu Yongfei of the commune and Chen Jianshe had held a village representative meeting.

It was mainly to preach the matter of Tian Fuqiang, and also expressed that the village election would be held after a while.

Wu Yongfei praised Zhou Feng's ability at the meeting. Although he did not mention the election of the village chief, a fool could hear what he meant.

At first, everyone in the village had some opinions about Wu Yongfei's actions, thinking that Zhou Feng had clung to Wu Yongfei's thigh and used the back door, especially several team leaders who thought they had a chance to be elected village chief.

But after Chen Jianshe told everyone what Zhou Feng had done and told everyone that a large factory would be built in the village next year, and there would be many opportunities to make money, these voices were suppressed.

When Zhou Feng came back to pay the wages, and the treatment of Zhengfeng Electronics Factory spread throughout the village, Zhou Feng's popularity naturally rose sharply.

After the reform and opening up, the most important task of the village chief was to lead the villagers to develop the economy. If someone like Zhou Feng appeared in Kaoshantun, it would be a loss for the village if he was let go.

Zhou Feng felt mixed emotions after hearing this. He didn't expect that Wu Yongfei and Chen Jianshe had dug a pit before he came back.

But he really couldn't be the village chief. He really didn't have time. Now he still had some free time. When the news came back from Hong Kong Island, he would probably be busy soon, and he would have no time to deal with all these miscellaneous things in the village.

Let alone the affairs of the village, he didn't even plan to take care of the affairs of Zhengfeng Electronics Factory. Even if he was split in half, he would still be too busy.

But now that the election has begun, Zhou Feng can't immediately express his disagreement. He can only wait until the meeting is over and then communicate with Zhao Hongbing and Chen Jianshe.

In short, he will never take on the position of village chief.
