Ji Lin's face flushed as he chased after him, "Don't look down on me! I want to be the monitor, too!"

Zhuzhu shook her head regretfully, "Then you're done. You won't have a chance to be the head of the family."

Ji Lin snorted, "If I can't be elected as the monitor, I will be the deputy monitor."

Zhuzhu was stunned for a moment, "What if I can't be elected as the deputy monitor?"

Ji Lin said proudly, "I will be the study committee member!"

"You go up and down. You want to be familiar with your classmates so that they can choose you!" Zhuzhu twitched her lips. How unconfident she must be to run for all the positions. "I'm kindly reminding you. When you go up for the election, don't forget to change the job title in your speech. I'm afraid you won't be able to say the right thing."

Based on her understanding of Brother Ji Lin, he would definitely not write a speech for all these positions. He might just change the job title.

Jilin was very upset because she had guessed everything. He was so angry! My sister is the most annoying person in the world!

**

At eight o'clock in the morning, after the children finished their meal and went to school, Li Jianxin and Xu Chunying came over one after the other to get the eggs. Aunt Wang helped to load them into the car.

Xu Chunying asked Zhang Xiuhua, "Do you think I can ask the team leader to plant more vegetables?"

Zhang Xiuhua was sweeping the yard. When she heard this, she looked at her in surprise and asked, "Grow vegetables and sell them to you?"

"Yes! The vegetables from the entire production team are not enough for me to sell."

This is true. Each family has only a large private plot of land, which is much larger than in the south, but northerners also have big appetites. Miao Xiaohua's illness reminds everyone to take care of their health, and each family has begun to take care of their own family. No matter how much money you make, you must have a good body.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know what the policy was this year. "Why don't you ask the team leader? I don't know if they will agree."

Previously, the higher authorities had a strict rule that the crops planted on the fertile land of each production team had to be in proportion. Speculation was not allowed before, and growing vegetables was hard and troublesome, and the money earned was not much, which was far less troublesome than growing grain.

If Xu Chunying could really sell the vegetables, perhaps the team leader would really agree.

Xu Chunying nodded and said, "I'll ask when I get back."

She was in a hurry to go to the city to sell vegetables and left first. The tractor rumbled away. Aunt Wang looked at their backs in a daze. When the voices became quieter, she came to Zhang Xiuhua and said, "Your sister-in-law is getting more and more opinionated now."

Zhang Xiuhua laughed, "Isn't this normal? She wants to make more money, but she doesn't have that much goods, so she has to find a way!"

Xu Chunying could also go to other production teams to collect vegetables, but she came back late every day. Going to other villages would take up too much time. It was not as easy as staying in the village.

"I heard that after the household contract responsibility system was implemented, we farmers can plant whatever we want," Second Aunt was eager to try. "Then I will plant an acre of vegetables and sell them to her."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't say anything discouraging, "Then you have to tell her."

"Don't be in a hurry. The land hasn't even been divided yet. It's too early to talk about this." Aunt Wang was thinking about growing vegetables.

Zhang Xiuhua started practicing her Russian again.

It was almost noon when Jilin and Zhuzhu came back. But Zhuzhu came running with her wings spread out, like a little swallow. Seeing her excited look, she must have been chosen.

Sure enough! When she ran up to him, she was the first to report the good news, "Mom, I got selected! From now on, please call me squad leader Li!"

She smiled triumphantly! Her round little face was full of excitement and pride.

Zhang Xiuhua also congratulated her, "How did you get selected?"

"I watched TV shows and imitated the host's clear and precise speeches, making sure I could complete the tasks assigned by the teacher and help my classmates. I also shared with them that I once built a ski resort. If it snows, they can come over and play if they are interested."

Zhang Xiuhua twitched her lips. Was she using a fun project to entice her classmates to choose her? Okay! This is indeed a great idea.

She put her arm around Zhuzhu's shoulders and praised her again and again, "Not bad! Mom will see your performance!"

She turned her head to look at Ji Lin, who looked dejected and wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at her, "What's wrong? You didn't get selected!" She patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zhuzhu smiled secretly and waved for her to squat down.

Zhang Xiuhua did as she was told. Zhuzhu leaned over to her ear and chuckled, "He chose the lock chief."

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, "What is a director? There are cadres in the toilet?!"

The toilets at that time were very simple, just a ditch where students squatted. During the hottest days of summer, the ditch was full of maggots. If it were a city dweller, they would have been furious.

Ji Lin was silent at first, but when he heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Mom, what are you thinking about? It's not the chief of the toilet. It's the chief of the locks."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at him in surprise, "Why are you running for this?! Can you even get up?!"

Thinking back to the beginning, she had done everything she could to get him to get up early for school. Later, Li Jianguo bought a model ship, and he got up. Now, in order to be the master of the family, he actually has to get up early?! If she had known that he had this perseverance, she should have given up the power of the family earlier! What a mistake!

Jilin lowered his head and sighed, "I have to get up early every day to open the lock. This is too hard. I heard that students who live far away from home arrive at school at 7:30."

The newly built primary school in Lijiatun not only accepts children from Lijiatun, but also students from several nearby villages. Some of the distances are so far that it takes an hour to walk.

"That means you have to arrive at school 40 minutes early every day. Jilin, you must not let down your classmates and teachers." Zhang Xiuhua patted his shoulder, "Think about it, after you become the head of the family, you can earn two dollars a day, which is sixty dollars a month. As long as you work for a full month, you can pay off all your debts. Debt-free is a relief! Do you understand?!"

Ji Lin sighed, this is too difficult.

Zhuzhu tilted her head and looked at him, a little confused, "Why did you choose this?! Didn't I ask you to run for health committee member? That's perfect for you."

Jilin scratched his head awkwardly, "I wasn't selected."

He was a little embarrassed. "I asked the teacher for the key. He originally wanted to put the key in the hands of a student who lived closer to the school."

Zhang Xiuhua suppressed her laughter and said, "Look how much the teacher trusts you. You must not let him down."

Jilin sighed, he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was for a while.

He wanted to refuse the teacher, but he went to ask for the position himself. The teacher gave it to him, but he refused to do it, which was not good.

At night, Jilin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Zhuzhu and Zhang Xiuhua slept on the same kang. "Mom, do you think Brother Jilin can get up?"

"It's hard to say!" Zhang Xiuhua was also unsure about Jilin. This child has always been lazy and is only persistent when it comes to things he likes.

He owed money, especially the money he owed Youcai. And Youcai was always careless and never urged Jilin to pay it back. This kid was really not in a hurry. It was normal for him not to get up!
