Chapter 1037 Voting
In the evening, Liu Jingxue, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao gathered in the cowshed without any prior arrangement.
“I didn’t expect the news we got would be confirmed so quickly.
However, the higher-ups actually rewarded the production team for reporting the plague, which was a pleasant surprise." Zhao Junhao sighed.
The fact that the production team would have electricity, and that telephone lines would be laid and telephones would be installed in the future had already been revealed in a previous letter from Mr. Zhang.
Except for Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao who were unaware of the situation, the others were not very surprised.
But they didn't think about the reward.
"In this way, Xiaoxue's life in the production team should be smoother in the future." Wang Xiulan glanced at her niece and said happily.
Zhao Junhao also congratulated Wang Xiulan, "Aunt Liu, why do you only talk about Xiaoxue and not yourself?
After helping the villagers cure the plague last time, the villagers will respect you more now.
After this incident, they will be more grateful to you in the future."
“Haozi is right.
I have noticed that after the start of construction this year, the land you, grandpa, are responsible for is less than before.
I also found that the villagers would not go out of their way to avoid you if they met you on the road.
I think the villagers are grateful for your warning before the outbreak and Aunt Liu's help afterwards." Zhou Mingxuan also said.
"The villagers of the Red Star Production Team are all pretty good, not cunning people."
“But the three of you did a good job today. When the captain talked about the electricity supply, you did not stir up trouble or incite the villagers.
It seems that he has listened to our words." Mr. Wu praised.
Zhao Junhao felt a little embarrassed, "Grandpa Wu, why are you treating the three of us like children?
You and Uncle Liu have both given instructions, so how could we possibly go against them?"
Wang Xiulan deliberately teased him and asked, "Are you sure you didn't violate the rules?
Why do I see someone spitting and talking to the villagers around him from afar? "
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingxue quickly lowered her head, thinking that her aunt was not talking about her.
The aunt said this while looking at Zhao Junhao, so she must have been referring to Zhao Junhao.
Zhou Mingxuan also turned his head to look to the other side, as if his attention was attracted by something.
Being stared at by Wang Xiulan with a half-smile in his eyes, Zhao Junhao looked left and right, and found that he couldn't get rid of that look, so he could only laugh and said,
“I have no other choice.
The villagers asked me what benefits would come from having electricity, and I had to tell them.
They asked me about it, I can’t just pretend I didn’t hear it.”
Old Wu shook his head and laughed, "That's nothing, you're just helping others solve their problems.
But you can’t just tell people to vote online.”
"Don't worry, Grandpa. We won't do that."
"Anyway, Mingxuan and I will definitely vote for electricity tomorrow. Xiaoxue, you should too, right?" Zhao Junhao looked at Liu Jingxue.
"Of course." Liu Jingxue nodded.
“I think the six votes of the educated youth were all for electricity.
In fact, the villagers, with the subsidies from above and the 500 yuan of funds, also knew that if the production team did not have electricity, it would affect the children's marriage, so they estimated that they were more likely to vote for electricity.
In this way, the issue of our production team getting electricity is not 100% certain, but at least 70% to 80% certain.”
Liu Weihua shook his head. "Don't be too confident. Let's wait until the voting results come out tomorrow."
The next morning, Liu Jingxue went to the dam to dry the crops earlier than usual.
But when she got there, she found that the villagers and other educated youth had already arrived and had started voting.
Liu Jingxue randomly found a small stone on the roadside and stood at the end of the queue waiting to vote.
After a day of consideration, the villagers had already made a clear choice, and soon everyone had finished voting.
Although it was already time to go to the fields to work, the people who were concerned about the voting results did not leave.
Seeing that the villagers were anxious to see the voting results, the team leader did not create any confusion. He immediately called up the two former and current educated youth leaders, Zheng Jianmin and Zhou Wenbing, to help count the votes.
Two educated villagers from the production team were called in to re-examine the test.
In the end, the majority of votes supported the production team's access to electricity, with only a small number of people choosing not to.
Liu Jingxue was very happy to get the result she wanted.
The team leader looked at the people below and said, "Since the vast majority of people support the production team's electricity supply, I will pass on this news today.
If we deliver it earlier, it will also be easier for the people from the power supply bureau to provide electricity to our production team first.
In addition, I will also look for the production teams we pass along the way to see if I can persuade them to get electricity as well.
After all, if we can get them along, we might be able to save two or three hundred dollars."
"Captain, you must bring them along.
Two or three hundred yuan is really a lot." A villager shouted from below.
"that is.
Take them along, and when the time comes to pull the wire, I guess each production team will send people to help.
If we have several production teams together, we can send fewer people and not delay production."
The captain's face was full of smiles, "I'll try to get them along."
"As for the production team's expenses, they will be offset directly with the farm's income this year, and we won't charge you any money," the team leader added.
He was also worried that if he had to charge money, those who opposed the electricity supply would object and be unwilling to pay.
In order to avoid these troubles, it would be better to use the public funds to offset the losses first, and then give less to everyone when distributing dividends at the end of the year.
Since they don’t have to take out money, the villagers’ resistance will be less.
Seeing that the matter had come to a conclusion, the captain brought up the issue of money again, and Liu Jingxue felt that it was time for her to take action.
She quickly raised her hand and shouted, "Captain, I have something to say."
Hearing Liu Jingxue's voice, the captain looked over quickly, "Xiaoxue, what do you want to say?"
Liu Jingxue cleared her throat and said,
"Captain, since I came here, the villagers have been very kind to me.
I am very grateful for the care of all the grandparents, uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters-in-law in the production team.
Thanks to the production team, I have saved some money in the past few years here.
I am prepared to pay 60 yuan for the electricity supply to the production team this time, as a token of my gratitude for your care over the past few years."
The captain was very surprised. Sixty yuan is not a small amount of money, and Xiaoxue gave it as she said.
He quickly refused, "Xiaoxue, that's not necessary.
You said that the villagers in the production team took care of you, but actually, we have owed you a lot.
Let’s not talk about the distant past, but just the extra 500 yuan bonus this time is due to your contribution.
You should keep this money for yourself."
Liu Jingxue insisted, "Captain, please don't be polite to me.
You also know that with my abilities, I am not afraid of not being able to make money in the future.
I am also a member of the production team, so I will consider it as my contribution to the team.
It is easier for me to make money than for the villagers.
Besides, you know my situation, I don’t need these sixty dollars.”
Seeing Liu Jingxue's insistence, the captain could only say, "Okay then, thank you very much, Xiaoxue."
Liu Jingxue immediately stepped forward, took out the six big unity cards that had been prepared long ago, and handed them to the captain.
