Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

After the beam raising was completed, everyone gathered in the Lin family courtyard.

After all, the leaders were here, so Lin Zhengjun couldn't be the chef today. He accompanied the two leaders to drink tea and chat. Zhang Shuqin took Tang Xiaofu and several female educated youth to prepare lunch.

Several female educated youth were actually not optimistic about the marriage between Tang Xiaofu and Lin Zhengjun.

After all, the policies are getting better and better now, Tang Xiaofu may return to the city to work at any time, while Lin Zhengjun is just a country bumpkin.

But when they saw that Lin Zhengjun had bought three zhuan and one xiang, and that a new tile house was about to be built, and that his hemp candy business was thriving, the commune leaders all took him seriously.

Especially when they learned that Lin Zhengjun was also reviewing and preparing for the exam with Tang Xiaofu, they were filled with envy.

This man is simply perfect!

There is strength in numbers. Soon, the braised pork with potatoes, pheasant with mushrooms, stewed vegetables, fried peanuts, garlic noodles, etc. were ready. Everyone gathered together and started making them.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, suddenly, an old, hoarse voice shouted from the door: "Where's Lin Zhengjun? Get out here!"

"Hey, Seventh Uncle, why are you here?"

"The leader is here! Stop making trouble and go back. We can talk about it another day!"

When Wei Mingxuan saw that it was Wei Yongji with some prestigious clansmen, his face suddenly became nervous and he hurried out to stop them.

After all, Wei Shanhu is now completely pinned down. It is unlikely that the old man will go crazy and cause trouble for Lin Zhengjun again.

"I knew the leader was coming, so I came to him to ask him to judge the matter for me!" Wei Yongji pushed Wei Mingxuan away, staring at him with his goatee pouting.

"Mr. Wei, don't be anxious. Just take your time to tell me what's going on!" Lin Zhengjun came out quickly.

"Humph, I can't talk to you, let the leader come over!"

Wei Yongji turned his head away and ignored him with a slightly arrogant look on his face.

"Old man, what can I do for you? I am Xu Zhigong, the director of the commune!" Xu Zhigong asked about the situation, then hurried out and asked in a friendly manner.

"Director Xu!"

Wei Yongji grabbed Xu Zhigong's hand and said excitedly: "I came to you for no other reason than to make one request - Lin Zhengjun to be the deputy captain or the youth captain!"

"Lin Bingde talked to him, but unfortunately this guy kept making excuses and was unwilling to do it!"

"I wondered if he had any concerns or any prejudice against our Wei family,"

"I came here for no other reason than to publicly express my stance. We in the Wei family all support him. The Wei Guoliang family deserves what they got. We are not sad but happy that he has gotten rid of this black sheep!"

Xu Zhigong smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, I want to know why you insist on letting Lin Zhengjun be the brigade leader!"

"I won't say much about Zhengjun's talent and ability, everyone can see it!"

Wei Yongji said excitedly: "What I want to say is that after Wei Shanhu was arrested, the two children were left alone and bullied. It was Zhengjun who stood up to protect them and gave them dumplings to eat. Just based on this kind of fairness and magnanimity, who can compare to him, who will not be convinced!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several other elders of the Wei family rushed to express their opinions:

“Yes, we support it!”

"We are all convinced!"

"If you don't agree today, Lin Zhengjun, we will dig up Wei Guoliang's ancestral grave to vent your anger, okay?"

Damn, so cruel!

That seems to be your ancestor too!

Lin Zhengjun held his forehead with his hand and almost laughed out loud.

I agreed reluctantly, but now that you guys said that, I really want to refuse! Go dig, dig, dig, hurry up!

Seeing that Lin Zhengjun was so popular, Xu Zhigong and Hao Jianguo also looked at Lin Zhengjun with admiration.

This is what it means to win people over with virtue!

Lin Bingde knew that Lin Zhengjun was not very willing to be a brigade cadre, but he wanted to force him to do something: "Zhengjun, you won't really force them to dig up Wei Guoliang's ancestral graves, right?"

Lin Zhengjun looked at Tang Xiaofu beside him and said, "Xiaofu, what do you think?"

I didn't expect Lin Zhengjun to ask for my opinion in public, which shows how much he values ​​me.

Tang Xiaofu felt sweeter than drinking honey. She smiled sweetly and whispered, "Don't worry about delaying your studies. Believe me, I can help you well!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "Okay, since my wife has spoken, I am willing to be a candidate for the youth captain and help everyone develop family and collective side businesses."

Wow!

There was warm applause at the scene.

Everyone was overjoyed.

"I propose that Wei Shuangxi be appointed as deputy captain!" Lin Zhengjun proposed again.

Wei Shuangxi looked at Lin Zhengjun with gratitude.

Xu Zhigong waved his hand and said, "Well, it's better to do it now than today. This afternoon, the brigade will hold a general meeting of members and hold an open election!"

Lin Bingde went to the brigade headquarters immediately.

After a while, his deep voice came out from the tweeter on the big locust tree in the yard of the brigade headquarters.

"Comrades, we have arrested the bad apples like Wei Shanhu, but the work of the brigade must continue. We cannot do without a deputy brigade leader, a director of public security, and a director of women's affairs. In addition, we want to elect another young team leader to focus on diversified operations and collective sideline businesses. Therefore, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we will hold a member meeting. Director Xu of the commune and Director Hao of the county supply and marketing cooperative will be present in person, and every household must send someone to attend!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the open space in front of the brigade headquarters was crowded with people, about four or five hundred in total, including members of the commune and educated youth.

The members' meeting was originally held in the evening, but today it was held during the day due to the delay in going to work. The commune director personally presided over the meeting, which shows the importance attached to this election.

Some of the guys were standing, some were squatting, and some were sitting on small stools. The men were smoking and playing games, while the women were sewing shoe soles and mending clothes. It was a lively and bustling scene.

Two desks were carried out from the brigade headquarters, covered with a floral bed sheet, and placed with thermoses and teacups, which became the rostrum.

After counting the number of people, Lin Bingde stood up and said, "Let me introduce you first. This is Comrade Xu Zhigong, the director of the commune, and Comrade Hao Jianguo, the director of the purchasing and marketing department of the county supply and marketing cooperative. They will supervise the election throughout the process to ensure fairness and justice. Everyone applaud and welcome them!"

Wow!

After a round of warm applause, Xu Zhigong delivered a speech.

"Members of the Hewan Brigade, today's election is of great significance. After digging out the parasites such as Wei Guoliang and Wei Shanhu, you must re-elect a few leaders to ensure that the brigade's production tasks in the second half of the year are successfully completed..."

"You must have firm faith. Scraping bones is to heal wounds, strong medicine is to cure diseases, severe punishment is to put an end to chaos. Once the termites are dug out, the team will be healthier, the team's economy will achieve more substantial development, and everyone's life will get better and better!"

Xu Zhigong's words made sense and ignited everyone's fighting spirit and their expectations for a better life.

Everyone was excited and applauded loudly!

First, the deputy team leader was elected. In addition to Wei Shuangxi, several other production teams nominated several candidates, and then they voted and counted the votes.

Wei Shuangxi won with a slight advantage and was successfully elected.

Next is the director of women’s affairs. This position was originally held by He Fengying. Now that she has taken office, a re-election is needed.

It was still the same procedure, and finally a woman named Zou Chunfang was elected.

She is in her thirties, has graduated from high school, is literate, capable, eloquent, and most importantly, has good interpersonal relationships and can mediate family disputes.

The next position was for the director of public security. We chose Zhao Zhongkai from the Zhao family. This guy is a retired soldier and had served as a militia company commander, so he was very suitable.

Finally, the youth team leaders were selected. As a result, several production teams only nominated one candidate - that was Lin Zhengjun!

Next, there will actually be no need for elections at all.

But Xu Zhigong still asked everyone to vote. Unexpectedly, out of the 560 adult members in the brigade, Lin Zhengjun got 550 votes, which was ridiculously high.

Xu Zhigong immediately announced the election results.

Lin Zhengjun takes office from today!

Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu were very calm.

After all, their dream is no longer just a small Hewan Brigade!

But Lin Sanhuai and his wife couldn't suppress the smile on their faces like Ak. They felt proud and honored, and their hearts were filled with happiness.

In the past few years, because of the family background problem, the Lin family was simply a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat. Unexpectedly, one day his son became a brigade cadre!

Feel proud!

The new and old team members of the brigade discussed, determined and announced the division of work.

Xu Zhigong pulled Lin Zhengjun and whispered, "Zhengjun, there is no time to lose. I think the yellow peaches and cans are on the way. Let's talk about preparing for the collective canning cooperative!"

Lin Zhengjun also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he nodded and said, "Okay!
