Chapter 100 The Lonely Old Village Chief

One stone caused a thousand waves, and as soon as the announcement of the general election of the two committees of the village was posted, the common people talked a lot, and the old village chiefs couldn't sit still.

On November 2003th of the Gregorian calendar and October 11th of the lunar calendar in 7, Liu Mingcai got up early in the morning and went for a stroll in Nanshan. When he met Ma Jinchang, he smiled and asked with concern: "Jinchang , is the good day coming soon?"

The day after tomorrow was the day when Ma Jinchang married Li Ling, a widow in Damiao Village. As the village head, it was his duty to care about the lives of every commoner in the village. However, what Ma Jinchang said next made Liu Ming unhappy.

"Hey, village chief, there are two days left for the wedding, so don't forget to come to my house for a wedding wine."

"I can't forget, what are you doing now? You're almost overjoyed, and you still go to Qingshan to work? Qingshan won't give you a vacation?"

"Qingshan gave me [-] days of paid marriage leave. Didn't I go to Qingshan and tell Qingshan that I want him to be a witness for me no matter what he says the day after tomorrow."

Although Li Ling was married second, but Ma Jinchang was married first, so regardless of whether the woman's family came to see off the guests, Zhao Qingshan repeatedly asked Ma Jinchang's wedding to be grand.

Zhao Qingshan paid all the wedding expenses, and Ma Jinchang, who no longer had to worry about the future, was naturally happy to save face for himself.

Anyway, Ma Jinchang owed Zhao Qingshan enough affection, and in the future he could only say that he really had to do things for him.

And Zhao Qingshan did this for a very simple purpose. On the one hand, he helped his employees, and on the other hand, he established prestige in the village. It was worth spending the money.

Liu Mingcai, the head of Fenghuangling Village, was a little unhappy when Ma Jinchang said that he wanted Zhao Qingshan to be a witness for his wedding. Liu Mingcai, the head of Fenghuangling Village, should have been the one to do this matter.

The population of Fenghuangling Village is small, and there are two or three marriages throughout the year, and the witnesses have basically been formed by Liu Ming in the past twenty years.

As for Liu Mingcai, he was also happy to do this job, firstly because he had face on his face, and secondly because those who begged him to be a wedding witness came home and said, no matter what, he had to take something, and he himself was also in a position to benefit.

But now, such an important title has been snatched away by a young man under the age of 20.

Liu Ming felt the crisis, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, but he quickly returned to his usual expression: "Okay, Jinchang, you go, I'll go for a walk in Nanshan."

"Hey."

Ma Jinchang didn't think much, so he walked towards the direction of Dongling. After walking about ten meters, he turned his head and saw Liu Mingcai was still standing there, so he waved his hand and said, "Village Chief, you have to come to my house the day after tomorrow. drink."

Liu Mingcai nodded with a smile, then continued to walk along the main road in the village, walked out of the village, and came to the mountain road. Looking at the yellow eyes, he felt a little lost.

However, he is not reconciled. He has been the village head for more than 20 years, and he cannot step down in this way. It is too shameful.

It can only be said that I voluntarily asked to be the village head, and it would be a shame if the village head was elected.

When he came to the foot of Nanshan Mountain and looked at the mountain land he led the villagers to reclaim when he was young, he was filled with emotion.

"Could it be that I have to lose to this kid?"

There is a lot of support in the village for Zhao Qingshan to be the village head, and even the family members surnamed Liu feel that Zhao Qingshan is a capable person, and the next step is to make him the village head, which will definitely lead everyone to make a fortune.

"Second Grandpa, it's so cold, what are you doing here?"

When Liu Mingcai turned his head, he saw his grandson, Liu Liang, carrying an earthen shotgun, and followed behind him more than ten meters away on the mountain road.

"You little bright son and grandson, why do you still dare to play with a shotgun these days?"

Before the 90s, gun control in rural areas was not as strict as it is now. At that time, there were a large number of homemade shotguns in rural areas. They were filled with sand. If you shoot them out with one shot, hares within a distance of 30 meters will not be able to escape. .

The earthen shotgun is a fan when shot out, and does not require a special aim. It is most suitable for shooting hares.

Then around 1991, the state became stricter in this regard and began to forcibly confiscate these guns.

The method of confiscation was also quite special. In many places, elementary school students were asked to investigate to see who had shotguns. After that, the public security united with the village security brigade to search inside the house.

However, no matter how strict it is, some people will take advantage of loopholes. Some villagers still secretly hide a pair of homemade shotguns. In winter, they will be fine, and they will carry the shotguns to the mountains to hunt hares.

By 2003, there were still some wild animals on the mountain, including hares, foxes, badgers, etc., wandering around the mountain, you can always meet them.

However, by 2018, foxes and badgers are rare, but because there are no natural enemies, there are more and more wild rabbits.

The village found out that guns were controlled, and the village head was responsible, so seeing Liu Liang carrying a shotgun, Liu Mingcai became a little angry.

Liu Liang suddenly realized that it was inappropriate for him to swagger with a shotgun and appear in front of Liu Mingcai. Although he called him Second Grandpa, he was the village chief after all.

"Second Grandpa, don't get me wrong, isn't it because my grandma wants to eat rabbit meat, so I went to the mountains to find a way? Second Grandpa, my grandma is your sister-in-law! If you don't talk about it, I won't either. Say, who can know?"

"Hmph, as soon as you shoot in Nanshan, someone in the village will know about it. When the time comes, anyone who doesn't worry about it will go to the police station and report it. Let alone you, I, the village head, will be implicated."

Hearing that Liu Mingcai claimed to be the village chief, Liu Liang pursed his lips, and said in a rather embarrassing way: "Second Grandpa, have you not heard from me these two days? They all said that you will not be the village chief in the next step. Yes, Zhao Qingshan is a popular candidate for the head of our village."

This sentence made Liu Ming very angry. If he hadn't been too old to fight, he would have beaten Liu Liang by now.

"Give me the gun!"

"No, Second Grandpa, I have to get a rabbit. Otherwise, I've hit a rabbit, and I'll send you half of it later."

Ever since Zhao Qingshan was born, in Fenghuangling Village, Liu Mingcai's status has been getting worse day by day, and the villagers also have the intention of overthrowing the wall and pushing everyone away.

Liu Ming had no choice but to wave his hands: "Go, go, hide away and shoot rabbits for me. If someone sees you, don't say you are from my Fenghuangling Village."

The village chief let him go, and Liu Liang immediately ran up the mountain road of Nanshan.

And Liu Mingcai, seeing Liu Liang who had run out for about ten meters, suddenly rolled his eyes, and a plan emerged in his mind.

"Liu Liang, come back!"

Liu Liang was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around to look at the village chief.
