Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Song Shuangshuang and others followed the captain back home.

Without waiting for the captain to speak, Bai Han excitedly told his parents, Song Shuangshuang and others, that they had seen Wan Xue blocking him.

The captain's wife swayed a bit, opened her eyes wide and asked Song Shuangshuang if it was true! Could Song Zhiqing and the others prove their son's innocence?

"Aunt, don't be anxious, just listen to me first."

"Okay, go ahead and tell me."

Although the captain was excited, he was calmer than his wife and son, and felt that things were not as optimistic as they thought.

Song Shuangshuang met the captain's gaze and told him everything they had seen that day.

“Just now, my brother and his friends saw Bai Han running towards the Youth League Home, and they stopped him and brought him home because they were afraid something might happen to him. He asked me if I had heard anything else a few nights ago, and I remembered what happened that day.

However, it was already dark and the woman had her back to us, so I didn't see clearly who stopped Bai Han, I just felt that she looked familiar.

It was only when I asked Bai Han if this happened that I realized the person that day was Wan Xue. I thought I had to tell you anyway."

The captain was shocked. His son really wanted to go to the Youth League Home to find Wan Xue!

You don’t even have to guess to know what Bai Han is going to do!

The captain didn't even bother to think about why the two of them were hanging around outside at night. He just wanted to thank them for stopping his stupid son.

If it weren't for them, my son would have been really ruined.

"Song Zhiqing, did you see anything else that day?" The captain still hoped to get some more favorable news.

"No more. Even what Aunt Chang and I saw and heard that night were the same, but..."

Song Shuangshuang changed the subject and decided to speak her mind.

"That day Wan Xue said that Bai Han asked her to go out, and he even pulled her. But I noticed that her clothes and hair were not messy, and she didn't look like she had been bullied. Instead, she looked more like she was dressed up carefully. Other than that, I don't know anything else."

Seeing the exhausted looks of the captain and his wife, Song Shuangshuang guessed that Wan Xue had come to see them, and the captain had probably already done it, otherwise the couple would not have stopped Bai Han from going out.

Song Shuangshuang turned around and looked at her younger brother. Song Youlin shook his head at her, motioning her to go back first.

They have already brought the message, and it is up to the captain to decide what to do specifically. They can't just interfere and force the captain to listen to them and ignore Wan Xue's request.

The captain and his family expressed their gratitude to Song Shuangshuang.

"We should do this, you don't need to thank me." She did this because she followed her inner thoughts.

Bai Han and his mother were still immersed in joy until Song Shuangshuang and the others left.

Especially Bai Han, he was still thinking that with the proof from Song Shuangshuang and the others, he wouldn't have to drag down his family, and his father wouldn't have to find ways to get a recommendation for Wan Xue.

"With Song Zhiqing and others around, our son won't have to take the blame anymore!" Bai's mother looked at the captain with anticipation.

The captain sighed, "It's not that simple. Forget about it. I've already taken care of the village chief and Lao Qi. As long as Wan Xue is among the five selected people, she will be recommended."

"Dad! Why!" Bai Han's smile froze on his face.

Seeing that his son still didn't understand the situation, the team leader was afraid that he would go to the Youth Home again on impulse, so he just explained it to him.

"Let's just forget about it. Just go to work honestly and don't act impulsively. If He Feiyang hadn't stopped you today, do you know what the consequences would have been?"

"Dad, I understand."

Bai Han stopped talking. He understood that this result was a good one.

On the day of voting, the villagers gathered at the threshing ground after dinner.

The village leaders called those who met the requirements to the stage, and in front of each person was a ladle or basin to hold the ballot.

The ballots were soybeans. Each villager was given five soybeans. They put the soybeans in the container in front of them and could only cast one vote. Any additional votes would not count. Two of the votes were for the educated youth and the other three were for the villagers.

Looking at the group of people standing on the stage, two-thirds of whom were educated youth, Song Shuangshuang couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

No, don't Cao Qi and Bai Lingling have any self-awareness? They have the nerve to run for election when their reputation in the village is so bad. And Li Gang, who just arrived, also ran for election. What are they thinking? Which villager can vote for them?

Can you learn from Feng Aiguo? He didn’t even get in.

But it is understandable that getting a university place is harder than getting a job in a state-owned factory.

The villagers were equally speechless.

"Is that newcomer Li Zhiqing stupid? How could he have the nerve to go on stage when Song Zhiqing and the others didn't?"

"That's right. And there's Bai Lingling. How crazy are we to choose them? Tsk tsk."

Song Shuangshuang laughed out loud when she heard this from behind. These uncles and aunts really said what she wanted to say.

The people standing on the stage obviously also heard the villagers' discussions, especially the few people mentioned by the villagers, their faces drooped.

"You just envy us for being educated, you peasant." Li Gang muttered.

"Alright, alright, be quiet, line up to vote, don't waste time, finish your voting and go home."

Although Wan Xue didn't show it on her face, she wasn't worried at all. She noticed Bai Han staring at her, and thought that the captain had already made arrangements, so she just had to wait for the results to be announced.

However, she still cared about her number of votes and didn't want to be outdone by other educated youth.

It was done in about half an hour.

The village chief went up to the stage and took a look at everyone one by one. Bai Lingling and Li Gang didn't get a single vote, and several educated youth didn't get many votes either.

"You guys go down." Really, why come up and throw this guy here?

A few people went down reluctantly, and couldn't help complaining in their hearts that the villagers did not give them face and should at least give them a few votes.

There are still 8 people left on the stage, and it is impossible to tell with the naked eye who has more votes or less.

The village chief arranged for someone to come up and count the votes, and the accountant counted on the side. They counted in front of the villagers.

The team leader was watching from the side the whole time. He had just been counting the number of people who voted for Wan Xue. Many villagers voted for her, so it was not a big problem.

"Village chief, the count is finished."

The village chief asked the accountant to publish the list.

"Jiang Xuewen, Wu Xiaoshan, Bai Han, Wan Xue, Ji Hongcai. The above five people have the most votes."

After the accountant announced the list, Bai Han let out a breath.

He didn't want to attend, but his father asked him to come.

Song Shuangshuang also guessed the reason why Bai Han participated. It was probably because the captain wanted to have an extra insurance policy.

Candidates are chosen by villagers through voting. Since everyone is related to the candidates, they will definitely vote for their own children, so the votes are dispersed.

But Bai Han is different, he is the son of the team leader. Although he returned after his second year of high school, he is still one of the few high school students in the village. The villagers have to give the team leader some face, and Bai Han will definitely be selected.

As long as he is elected, everything will be fine when the village leaders make the decision.

The captain has already established a good relationship with the village chief and the accountant. When the time comes, he will say that he should not favor his own children and will praise Wan Xue a few more times.

The final spot naturally went to Wan Xue.
