Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 516 The Dust Has Settled Initially
There are only more than 230 ballots left that have not been counted, and the suspense is full of suspense.

The counting of votes by the deputy director and committee members was suspended, and the staff came to maintain order, because the surrounding villagers were almost crowded in front of the blackboard.

Counting continues.

Chen Yang is always in the lead, but the lead continues to shrink.

When [-] votes were counted, it could be said that the three were almost neck and neck.

Chen Yang 370 votes, Cai Shangui 360 six votes, Cai Genfu 360 four votes.

At this time, everyone has understood that in this round of elections, it is impossible for any of the three to get half of the votes.

In the end, Chen Yang had 420 votes, Cai Genfu had [-] votes, and Cai Shangui had [-] votes.

There are two other invalid tickets.

Cai Genfu regained some face, and at the last moment, he overtook Cai Shangui by six votes.

Leaders at the township and village levels launched emergency consultations to prepare for the second round of elections.

At this time, the counting of votes by the deputy director had come to an end, and the situation had already become clear.

Candidates Chen Yuhua and Cai Guoping won votes far ahead of another candidate, Tong Laogui.

Tong Laogui was smiling, not at all unhappy.

Because he was already a member of the branch committee and participated in the election of the village committee, he agreed in advance that he would accompany the election.

Chen Yang's purpose was to let Chen Yuhua and Cai Guoping go up.

Even Tong Laogui himself didn't vote for him at all.

Four out of six committee members are elected, and the counting of votes is nearing completion. Everyone has already seen who goes up and who goes down.

The votes of Tong Xiaolong and Cai Chaoyang were far behind Cai Fuman, Chen Sanpao, Cai Zhengxi and Wu Linghua.

The latter four were successfully elected.

The villagers don't care about the deputy director and committee members, they care about who is the director.

According to the regulations, re-election is required, and before the re-election, one needs to go and stay two.

In other words, Cai Shangui got the fewest votes and should be eliminated.

Chen Yang and Cai Genfu are left to choose.

In the second round of elections, there is a special rule, that is, the elected candidate does not need more than half of the votes, only a simple majority is enough.

In other words, no matter how many votes I get, even if I only have one more vote than you, I will have the last laugh.

However, Chen Yang made a statement first, and reported in writing that he would not participate in the general election.

The village asked Chen Yang's opinion on the spot and confirmed it again.

Chen Yang announced his withdrawal again.

The village general election committee held a meeting and listed Cai Genfu and Cai Shangui as candidates for the second round of elections.

And there will be a second round of elections soon.

It's hard to do right away because ballots need to be printed.

This plan has already been drawn up, using the mimeograph machine in the village primary school to print the second round of ballot papers.

Only 10 minutes later, the ballots were printed.

A blank sheet of paper can print eight ballots.

There are only two names on the ballot, Cai Genfu and Cai Shangui.

Cai Genfu got more votes in the primary election and was ranked at the top, while Cai Shangui could only be ranked at the bottom.

At the same time, Ma Yutang used the radio to announce that the second round of elections would begin immediately, and asked the villagers not to leave.

Ma Yutang also specially explained that if you want to choose the two names, just put a tick behind the name.

As for the other name, you can type it or leave it blank.

If both names are ticked, both names are crossed out, and both names are left blank, all of them are invalid tickets.

After the ballot papers were printed and the ink was still wet, they were cut by the staff and sent to the place where the invoices were issued.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the second round of elections begins.

At [-]:[-], voting ends.

At five past five, the counting of votes begins.

The counting of the votes this time is very simple, and the votes are counted separately.

One category is invalid tickets, a total of 21.

The first category is for neither candidate, with a total of [-] votes.

One category is to choose other people.

Although Chen Yang did not run, he still got 53 votes.

There are still a lot of tickets, after they were sent out, they were simply not sent back.

The remaining two categories are Cai Genfu's and Cai Shangui's.

It only took half an hour, and the result came out.

Cai Genfu received 420 nine votes, and Cai Shangui received 490 three votes.

Cai Shangui was elected as the new director of the village committee.

As soon as he came out, Chen Yang called a motor boat and hurried home.

It was getting dark, the family members were old and young, the weather was cold, and he hadn't eaten dinner, Chen Yang was afraid that his family members would get sick.

Cai Chaoyang, Tong Xiaolong, Cai Xiaohui, Cai Nanmei and Chen Yaoping were also on board.

Tong Laogui, Cai Fuman, and Chen Sanpao are all cadres, and they still have to stay for a meeting. They probably won't be able to go home in the first half of the night.

On the boat, Chen Yang sat cross-legged in a military overcoat, and the two little guys snuggled into Chen Yang's arms, covered with another military overcoat.

After making a fuss all day, the two little guys have already fallen asleep.

Grandparents and mother, sitting on the other side dozed off.

Everyone is still confused about today's process and intensity, especially Cai Nanmei, Chen Yaoping and Tong Xiaolong.

Cai Chaoyang and Cai Xiaohui didn't quite understand where Chen Yang's ticket came from.

Because the villagers living here in Zegu Town had discussed it long ago and voted for Cai Genfu.

Chen Yang himself didn't want to run for the election. It was impossible for him to say one thing and do another, secretly mobilizing everyone to support him.

It doesn't make any sense to be the village director of Chenjiacun without living in Chenjiacun.

Chen Yaoping couldn't bear it anymore, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Yang, what's going on?"

Chen Yang smiled without saying a word.

Cai Nanmei said: "Yang, you should quickly reveal the answer."

Tong Xiaolong, Cai Xiaohui and Cai Chaoyang also kept urging.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you should be able to figure it out. Cai Genfu's more than 400 votes were cast by our side. Cai Genfu and his younger brother Cai Liangshun both know where these more than 400 votes came from. Cai Shangui's More than 400 votes were voted by people from Chenjiacun. But Cai Shangui is not a good person, so getting more than 400 votes is already very impressive.”

Cai Nanmei asked: "According to this, your more than 400 votes were cast by people from Chenjia Village?"

Chen Yang nodded, "I didn't vote for myself. My second brother's factory and Chen Sanpao's factory didn't vote for me. You guys probably didn't vote for me either. Then my vote Where did it come from, it must have been voted by Chen Family Village."

Cai Xiaohui said: "However, more than 400 votes were mobilized over there. There are experts behind this."

Chen Yang smiled, "Well, Chaoyang should know something inside."

Cai Chaoyang said with a smile: "I know that Cai Guoping reciprocated and secretly supported our Comrade Chen Yang. He doesn't care whether you run for the election or not. He just wants to show with actions that he is also a man of conscience."

Tong Xiaolong said: "I believe he supports Brother Yang, but with his strength, at most 150 votes, where did he get more than 400 votes?"

Cai Chaoyang spread his hands, "I don't know the source of the extra 250 votes."

Cai Nanmei asked: "Yang, apart from Cai Guoping and his votes, who mobilized the other votes?"

"Hehe...they are two honest people."
