Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 366 [-]
Grandpa told Chen Yang that he was Cai Nanmei's savior.

That happened more than 30 years ago. Cai Nanmei, who was not yet ten years old, went out to cut pigweed by herself and accidentally fell into the river.

Grandpa was the water steward of the production team at that time, and just passing by, he jumped into the river to rescue Cai Nanmei.

Chen Yang admired his grandfather, such a good person and good deed, but he never heard of it.

Grandpa smiled lightly and said it was a trivial matter. In his life, he has gone into the river to save people seven or eight times.

But Chen Yang was still curious. Logically speaking, the savior and the rescued should have a good relationship.

But since Chen Yang could remember, he had never seen any contact between the two families, on the contrary they seemed to be a little distant.

Grandpa told Chen Yang that Cai Nanmei's family was very poor back then. He was friends with Cai Nanmei's late father and had helped Cai Nanmei's family three times.

Thirty catties of rice at a time, one hundred catties of rice at a time, and 12 yuan per time.

Among them, 12 yuan was borrowed by Cai Nanmei's grandfather from others after Cai Nanmei's father died of illness and had no money for the funeral.

When my grandfather was a brigade cadre, his superiors allocated relief funds and relief food, and he always tried his best to get more for Cai Nanmei's family.

After listening to his grandfather's narration, Chen Yang became even more curious.

Chen Yang asked if the Cai Nanmei family was ungrateful because the two families had no contact.

You must know that Cai Nanmei's old lady is a famous shrew, and she is definitely not inferior to Tong Xiaofang's wife.

Grandpa explained that it was all because of poverty.

Cai Nanmei's family has always been poor, and now they have opened a restaurant, but the business is also bleak, and they still live in poverty.

Probably because of embarrassment, probably because they were too poor, or because they couldn't afford the favor, so Cai Nanmei's family chose to distance themselves.

Chen Yang asked his grandfather again, this time Cai Nanmei was invited to take the lead, and he didn't charge for hard work, what should I do?
Grandpa said with a smile, this is easy to handle, after a good thing, just thank you with a big gift.

Grandpa also told Chen Yang that it would be good for this general election to have Cai Nanmei come forward as the chef.

Grandpa broke Chen Yang's mind all of a sudden, and Chen Yang laughed.

That's right, the purpose of holding the wedding banquet in such a grand style is to help the general election.

You must know that in Chenjia Village, Cai Nanmei also has a certain appeal.

Chen Yang also made two arrangements.

Contact the township film team, and around the day of the wedding, movies will be shown for ten nights in a row.

I contacted my good friend Chen Fuming, and invited his Hongmei Yue Opera Troupe to perform a play for ten days around the day of the wedding.

Chen Yang handed over other matters related to marriage to other people.

Chen Yang has always been proud of the timing of the wedding banquet.

Before the wedding banquet, the village party branch was re-elected.

After the wedding banquet, after the Spring Festival, the village committee changed its term.

Therefore, this wedding must not only be held, but also grand and dignified.

But as the groom's official, many things have to be done personally, and you can't hide if you want to hide.

Traditional customs and customs must be followed, but some new tricks must be invented.

Junior high school students, please invite all you can, and leave this matter to Ye Zhengfang.

All high school students who can be contacted should be invited, and Xiao Weili will be responsible for this matter.

There is only one, married people are not invited.

The cadres in the village, Chen Yang decided not to invite them on the wedding day, but to invite them to dinner and drink later when he finds an opportunity.

The wedding invitation was handed over to Principal Zhang of the village primary school to customize.

It must be stated on the invitation that no gift money will be accepted.

The most important thing about happy events in rural areas is marriage.

The man has the man's attention, and the woman has the woman's rules.

But the groom and the bride are from the same village, so if you pay attention, you will have a chance to change.

Chen Yang and his father-in-law, Chen Dongsheng, agreed that the woman's banquet would be merged into the man's house.

Chen Dongsheng originally disagreed, thinking that he would lose face.

But Chen Yang said, I have more than 100 tables, and you only have seven or eight tables. If you do it separately, you will lose face even more.

Chen Dongsheng had no choice but to decide that everything was up to Chen Yang, who asked him to find a son-in-law who was too rich.

According to the old rules, the woman has two drinks, the evening before the wedding, and the noon on the wedding day.

And the man has three drinks, the evening before the wedding, the night of the wedding, and the morning after the wedding.

There are also fixed names, namely "warming night", "main night" and "kitchen".

As the eldest son and with some money, he had to do every aspect of the wedding.

Chen Yang ushered in the New Year's Day of [-] in a busy and orderly state.

On the second day after New Year's Day, a piece of good news came, which lifted Chen Yang's spirit.

Guo Fuqiang conveyed a notice from the county that all probationary party members also have the right to recommend in this general election.

A total of six probationary party members, in addition to Chen Yang, there are Cai Fuman, Cai Guoping, Tong Xiaolong, Wu Linghua and Chen Cailian.

Among them, Cai Fuman, Tong Xiaolong and Chen Cailian definitely supported Chen Yang.

Chen Cailian is the eldest daughter of her cousin Chen Dongnan.

Wu Linghua is Cai Genfu's sister-in-law. According to the agreement between Chen Yang and Cai Genfu, she should also support Chen Yang.

Including myself, a total of five new forces have been added.

Originally, 53 people had the right to recommend, but now it has increased to 59, and half of them are exactly thirty.

As soon as this decision was communicated, everyone understood that whether Chen Yang could be recommended or not, the suspense was basically lost.

Chen Tianchun and Cai Shangui finally died down temporarily.

But the re-election of the branch committee kicked off.

The township secretary Zheng Weimin visited Chenjia Village in person, and together with Guo Fuqiang, who was stationed in the village, began to visit the party members and solicit their opinions on the new branch committee.

Not only the township attaches great importance to it, but the county also attaches great importance to it, because Chenjia Village is the first in the county to change its leadership, and most other village-level changes are scheduled for the second half of this year.

The fast running of the train depends on the locomotive, and the branch committee is the locomotive of the whole village.

Zheng Weimin and Guo Fuqiang made a list of candidates for the branch committee.

The initial list consisted of ten people, branch secretary Chen Shengmei, deputy branch secretary Tong Xiaofang, branch committee member Chen Yuhua, and branch committee member Tong Laogui, as well as Cai Yuesong, Chen Tianchun, Cai Shangui, Cai Genfu, Chen Meiliang, and Chen Shengli.

Among them, Chen Meiliang was a demobilized soldier last year.

The list was submitted to the township party committee. In the first round of screening, Tong Xiaofang and Cai Shangui were first crossed out.

Tong Xiaofang was removed because he hadn't recovered yet, his family's financial situation was not good, and there were too many entanglements.

Cai Shangui was removed because many people reported that in addition to buying waste products, he may also be engaged in illegal business behind the scenes.

Two days later, a second round of screening was conducted.

Chen Yuhua, Chen Genfu and Chen Shengli were eliminated in this round.

It was Guo Fuqiang's strong insistence to get rid of Chen Shengli. He believed that this person's character was not good.

The reason why Chen Yuhua and Chen Genfu were removed was that they would be recommended to be included in the list of candidates for the village committee.

The final list of candidates is Chen Shengmei, Cai Yuesong, Chen Tianchun, Chen Meiliang and Tong Laogui.

The new branch committee still implements equal elections.
