Chasing

The first round of primary elections for the triennial election of village cadres in Xinsi Township officially kicked off in a cooling-off, and Shangli Village, which Wei Yi was in charge of, was scheduled to be held at the same time as Liushutun Village the next day.

According to the arrangement of the township, all the government officials in the township were sent to other villages to support in addition to their own election tasks. Therefore, Wei Yi had to participate in two consecutive days of elections, namely Shangli Village and Shangli Village on the second day. Hongqi Village on the third day.And young children like Han Jifei were even arranged for three days, respectively Zhouyuantun Village on the first day, Shangli Village on the second day and Hongqi Village on the third day.The purpose is to deploy all the staff to do a good job in the election.

In order to take care of the villagers who went to work in the mines in the city and neighboring towns, the elections in each village started at [-]:[-] in the morning and ended at [-]:[-] noon, with a total of five hours in between. After the election, all the votes were collected in the center At the polling station, the staff of the township will count and count the votes under the supervision of the Murakami scrutiny team, and finally determine the list of people who will enter the re-election and publicize it.

Before the election started, Wei Yi held a small meeting in his office for the colleagues who were assigned to Shangli Village. He said: "Everyone has heard that the election situation in Shangli Village is very complicated. As for the reason, everyone knows it , I won’t go into details here. I don’t want any problems in the election due to the mistakes of our township staff in the election of Shangli Village.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Han Jifei is a newcomer in our group. He has never been through an election. He can experience it in Zhouyuantun Village tomorrow. But Zhouyuantun Village has few people to compete with. It will be relatively easy. I won't say much about it. Alright, I'll just work hard for the past few days, and when all the election work is over, I'll reward you all again, let's adjourn the meeting."

Colleagues all left in twos and threes, but Han Jifei was still dawdling in his office, unwilling to leave.

Because he had to get up early these days, Wei Yi sent his son to his parents this morning. Although there was a quarrel during the Chinese New Year holiday, within a few days, his mother made good friends with him, saying that she missed her grandson and asked them to go back for dinner.Wei Yi is not a person who doesn't know what to do. After all, when he is busy, his son always asks them to take care of him. In fact, as long as his parents don't force the marriage, he is quite willing to spend more time with his parents.

Wei Yi lit a cigarette and asked Han Jifei, "Are you busy?"

Han Jifei shook his head and said, "Brother Wei, I have to go to work too early for my three-day election mission. I'm not going to go home. After all, I can sleep more if I live in the countryside."

"That's fine. I have to live in the village tomorrow night. I'll go home tonight. If you need anything I can bring for you, just talk." Wei Yi said, taking a puff on his cigarette.

Han Jifei said: "It's nothing. I just feel a little nervous about the election. After all, I haven't experienced this. I heard from them that there will be groups or something. It sounds like there is a lot going on in Shangli Village. Brother Wei, come here. Can you put me in a group with you?"

Wei Yi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Han Jifei to think so much. If he didn't say it, he would do it himself, so he agreed, "Yes."

Han Jifei smiled and said, "That's great, that's all I need, Brother Wei, then I'll go downstairs first." He was about to go out, but Wei Yi stopped him, and he told Han Jifei: " Although it is said that the election in Zhouyuantun Village will not be a big deal, we must also pay attention to it. The villagers are not as simple as they used to be. Our staff must be serious when they should be serious. Don’t play with your mobile phone at that time. People will go there to vote Now, do what you have to do, don’t get involved in it, don’t guide the villagers’ election intentions.”

Han Jifei looked at him gratefully and nodded heavily. "Actually, I don't know who they are. It doesn't matter who I choose. I will do my job well. Don't worry."

In fact, Wei Yi was at ease with Han Jifei's work, but on the second day, Wei Yi had nothing to do, so he drove to Zhouyuantun Village to watch the excitement. The car came down together.

Qi Huan was in charge of the election work in Zhouyuantun Village, and Qi Huan also arranged Han Jifei beside him, at the central polling station at the village headquarters.

The weather this day was very cold, cloudy, south wind, Wei Yi and his party got out of the car, he was shivered by the chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, so he wrapped his cotton coat tightly and went straight to the village. Walk.Wei Yi looked at the watch on his wrist. It was past nine o'clock. The early voters had already gone to work, and the late voters came up after breakfast. They were waiting outside in twos and threes, discussing who to vote for. , there was still a somewhat nervous look on their faces, and some aggrieved people said loudly: "Whoever you choose can do anything, and in the end it will not do good things for the people." It seems that they have never been in the existing system He did not get a penny from the benefits, nor did he live a good life under the leadership of the village cadres.Everyone who works at the grassroots level has long been accustomed to this kind of argument. They may feel resentful at the beginning, but they have become numb after a long time.These people seem to have forgotten the country's inclination and emphasis on rural policies in recent years, and they don't remember the good things that the cadres in the village have done for them. They only feel that poverty has nothing to do with them. wrong.

Zhou Yuantun Village specially arranged a suite for election voting. Wei Yi did not see Han Jifei outside. It is estimated that Qi Huan felt sorry for Han Jifei and asked him to look at the voting box inside because he was afraid that he would be cold. Qi Huan took Wang Liang in the room outside. Voter ID and distribution of ballots, probably Qi Huan also felt that Wang Liang was unreliable, so he specially arranged him by his side.

Qi Huan stood up when he saw them coming, Wang Liang sat there idly and didn't look serious, he just grunted and said hello, which was regarded as a greeting, quite defiant.

Wei Yi ignored him, he thought it might be because Wang Liang was not arranged to warm up in the back room with a stove.

"I'll take the leader down to take a look, you guys are busy."

Secretary Zhu seemed quite satisfied with the election situation, and he couldn't stop nodding his head while looking around. Wei Yi said, "I would be satisfied if this half of Shangli Village is stable."

Secretary Zhu said: "Stability can also be bad. I am afraid that the turnout rate will not be guaranteed. The most fearful thing is that there will be a second round."

Qi Huan was busy with the work in hand, and said to Wei Yi: "The people in the village went down to find people to vote. I called and asked about it just now. The voters in other points are quite active, and I guess they can get more than half. "

"In addition, the difference has to be selected in this way."

"Murakami has arranged everything. If this job can't be done well, nothing can be done." Qi Huan said.

Secretary Zhu was relieved, and after a few words with Qi Huan, he wanted to leave.

Wei Yi looked out of the window at Han Jifei who was busy, and Han Jifei saw him too. Han Jifei was wearing a big padded jacket he had borrowed from him and hadn't returned it, helping voters who couldn't write to write ballots, so he could only smile at him.

Wei Yi didn't stay long, and left with the leader.

In fact, no matter what, Wei Yi had to admit that he cared about Han Jifei, but it had nothing to do with anything else.

Wei Yi took the leader to another Xindong Village, which was elected today. Xindong Village seemed to be quite stable, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The leader was in a good mood, and told Wei Yi in the car: "Although there are many problems in Shangli Village, But they dare not say anything, our village is far away from the city, there is no such thing as land occupation, and the interests involved are relatively small."

As soon as Secretary Zhu finished speaking, the phone rang. He picked up the phone, but his expression became serious. When he hung up the phone, Wei Yi asked, "Leader, what's the matter, what happened?"

Secretary Zhu sighed and said, "An accident happened again in Changming Township."

Changming Township is the town where the mining accident occurred before. Secretary Zhu said that early this morning, a candidate from a village in his township beat up the voters.

The person went to the hospital with a broken nasal bone, and the candidate was also arrested by the police station and detained.This incident caused a certain amount of bad influence. Although it did not happen in their district, because of this incident, Secretary Zhu said to Wei Yi: "The district asked for a stability maintenance meeting in the afternoon. Let's go there together. Mayor Hu In the country."

Wei Yi nodded in agreement, went back to the village, made some rest, and took Secretary Zhu back to the city for a meeting after lunch.
