Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 515
Cai Nanmei told Chen Yang that her relatives opened a restaurant on Hengfeng Street, and he could solve the lunch problem for four to five hundred people with just one phone call.

Chen Yang didn't believe it.

Cai Nanmei said that the staple food at noon is steamed buns, which can be eaten open.

As for the dishes, two meat and one soup, one braised fat fish, one stewed pork vermicelli, and one cabbage egg drop soup.

Chen Yang was overjoyed, and kept saying yes, but at the same time reminded that the budget for each person was only three yuan.

Cai Nanmei patted her chest and made a promise, and at the same time told Chen Yang badly that he could still make a net profit of one yuan per person.

Chen Yang is relieved, as long as everyone is not hungry.

On the playground in front of the village department, the election has already begun.

A ballot paper, which is divided into three columns, has a total of seven candidates.

There are two director candidates, namely Cai Genfu and Cai Shangui.

There are three candidates for deputy director, namely Chen Yuhua, Tong Laogui and Cai Guoping.

There are six candidates for the village committee, namely Tong Xiaolong, Chen Sanpao, Cai Zhengxi, Wu Linghua, Cai Chaoyang, and Cai Fuman.

Among them, the director is selected from two, the deputy director is selected from three, and the committee members are selected from six.

This time, the biggest highlight of the reelection is the contested election, which has not been done before, so it attracts many spectators.

Not to mention the parties concerned, even the villagers are curious and nervous about the contested election.

What's interesting is that there are a lot of street stalls on the playground, and there are all kinds of food and play.

This made the two little guys of Chen Yang's family very happy, and they ran around with their feet loose.

Want everything, want to buy everything.

After eating tofu brain, I have to buy balloons, and after buying balloons, I have to set off cannons.

Balloon blasting is to let the balloon fly out, and then pierce it with a bamboo pole, making a snap.

Four balloons were released, and the two little guys clapped and applauded, pestering Dad to continue.

As a result, dozens of balloons were bought by Chen Yang, and all of them were reimbursed by the two little guys.

At 10:30, the radio reminded the villagers that voters who have not yet cast their votes should hurry up and fill in their votes.

After Chen Yang finished voting, he took the whole family to the old man's house for dinner.

Most of the villagers who came from Zegu Town stayed on the playground and ate the big pot meal prepared by Cai Nanmei.

Voting has ended, and the counting time is arranged after lunch.

In order to fully reflect openness, fairness and justice, the vote counting session was placed on the playground, and the villagers were allowed to watch it on the spot.

On the big playground, four large blackboards borrowed from the village primary school were erected.

In order to speed up the counting of votes, the director, deputy director and committee members count votes separately and at the same time.

There were six candidates for the committee, and I was afraid that one blackboard would not be enough, so I added a blackboard.

Some rules cannot be changed.

For example, the total number of votes.

There were 1000 and 57 voters in the village, 1000 and 41 ballots were issued, and 1000 ballots were withdrawn, which met the relevant regulations and the election was valid.

In other words, more than half of the votes are 620.

The regulations are very clear, whether it is the director, deputy director or committee members, more than half must be elected.

This is the first link.

The second link is to determine how many invalid votes are among the 1000 votes recovered.

Next to the counting office, there are six desks, and on the desks are two large baskets with a diameter of two to three meters.

All the returned ballots were taken out of the ballot box and placed in a large basket.

A group of three, a total of four groups, votes are checked at the same time, and all valid tickets are put into another big basket.

There are also two groups of six people standing by the baskets, responsible for both supervision and ticket checking.

All voided tickets must be checked and accepted by them, and finally they must be sealed and submitted to the relevant higher-level departments for inspection.

Counting votes by the blackboard, there were seven groups, each with three people, and three of them were in charge of supervision.

The other four groups, one group is responsible for director votes, one group is responsible for deputy director votes, and two groups are responsible for committee votes.

Most of these vote counters are teachers from village primary schools, and they are considered temporary staff.

Director votes are the first to start counting.

One person sings the tickets, one person reads the tickets, and one person writes the tickets on the blackboard.

The people who read the tickets are people from the village, and they have to watch from the sidelines, not only to prevent the person who reads the tickets from shouting wrongly, but also to prevent the person who wrote the tickets from writing wrongly.

It is inevitable for a person to neglect one thing and lose another.

So there were three people standing next to him, one was the village representative of the village, and the other two were observers.

It's called foolproof.

The person who writes the votes, according to the prompt of the teller, writes the word "positive" under the candidate's name.

There are five strokes in the orthographic characters, which are clear at a glance and easy to count.

The broadcast reminded that the counting of votes has begun, please be quiet.

Sure enough, the playground fell silent.

The teller was a woman, the new headmaster of the village primary school, not tall but with a loud voice.

"Chen Yang."

On the first director's ticket, he sang a name that was not on the ballot, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The writer hurriedly wrote Chen Yang's name on the blackboard, and then wrote the first "horizontal" of the character "正" under Chen Yang's name.

"Chen Yang."

The second ticket still belonged to Chen Yang.

The playground became restless.

"Chen Yang."

The third ticket was still Chen Yang.

At this time, the playground was extremely quiet.

Suddenly, two childish voices sounded.

"Dad, Daddy."

Immediately, the audience burst into laughter.

It turned out that it was Xiao Yanyan and Xiao Bobo who were sitting on the shoulders of Chen Sanpao and Da Lengzi. When they heard someone calling their father's name, they raised their fists and shouted.

As if arranged on purpose, the first five director tickets were all in Chen Yang's name.

Until the sixth one, it belonged to the candidate Cai Genfu.

The ninth one finally has the name of the candidate Cai Shangui.

The speed of counting the votes has been accelerated, and fifty votes will be passed in no time.

According to the prior arrangement, after fifty director votes were counted, deputy director votes were counted, and after one hundred votes were counted, committee votes were counted.

However, almost everyone at the scene was paying attention to the director's vote statistics.

The original Cai Genfu and Cai Shangui were elected against each other, but because of the appearance of Chen Yang, a three-legged situation was formed.

What's even more paradoxical is that Chen Yang's votes are always overwhelming Cai Genfu and Cai Shangui.

After one hundred votes, Chen Yang got 39, Cai Genfu and Cai Shangui got 31 and [-] respectively.

When it reached 73 votes, Chen Yang got 65, Cai Genfu got 62, and Cai Shangui got [-].

After [-] votes, there was a new change. Chen Yang still ranked first, but Cai Shangui surpassed Cai Genfu.

When more than half of the [-] votes were cast, Chen Yang still took the lead, followed by Cai Shangui and Cai Genfu.

It's just that a new situation appeared at this time, and the gap between the three became wider and wider.

Especially Cai Shangui and Cai Genfu, the gap has widened to 55 votes.

But after more than half of the votes, the situation changed unexpectedly.

When [-] votes were counted, the gap between the three gradually narrowed. Cai Genfu was only [-] votes behind Cai Shangui, and Cai Shangui was only [-] votes behind Chen Yang.

Until one thousand votes, the three were still in a stalemate, and the gap was narrowed to less than ten votes.

The playground was already crowded with people, all crowded over to watch this rare good show.
