Chapter 30 Just One More Vote

The educated youth on the farm, the new ones didn't know Mei Gancai, but the old ones of course knew her. They all stood up in groups of three or four and applauded Mei Gancai.

Even the mayor Ji Huaiguo specially gave up his seat to accommodate Mei Gancai who had suddenly arrived.

Mei Gancai used to be the former director of Chaoyang Farm. Two years ago, Su Xiangyu retired after arriving at the farm and returned to the capital city to live out his retirement in the house allocated by the government.

When Su Xiangyu didn't know that Feng Mingxun's whole family had liver disease, she thought the old lady's face was too yellow. Now she understands that the old lady has liver disease.

Of course, she did not forget that the old lady still owed her more than two hundred yuan.

This old lady had been an official for half her life and had great authority. Of course, she was also very good at handling things. She refused to sit on Ji Huaiguo's stool, but picked up Feng Mingxun and sat on his stool.

"You guys go about your business. I'll just come to the farm to take a look. Let's do the election quickly," she said.

Ji Huaiguo of course immediately pushed Su Xiangyu over: "Look, this is one of our three electors, and she is also your future daughter-in-law. I voted for her today. Director Mei, you can't say anything to me. This girl gave me a military order, and I promised to vote for her a long time ago."

Now that the old director of the farm has come, the old educated youth, such as Feng Yueba, will definitely hesitate.

After all, the old director is watching. How can they raise their hands for Su Xiangyu at this time? If they raise their hands for Su Xiangyu, wouldn't it seem that they have no conscience and have forgotten the kindness of the old leader?

But what should Su Xiangyu do if Feng Mingxun is chosen?

After all, the one they wanted to choose was Su Xiangyu.

Mei Gancai smiled so kindly that if Su Xiangyu had not experienced her power before, she would have thought of her as a kind old lady.

"Tell me, Xiangyu, why did you break up with Mingxun and run for the position of farm manager? Don't you know how much I value you as my daughter-in-law?" Mei Gancai said with a smile.

This is trouble.

Especially the male educated youth, they naturally think that women should stay at home and careers should be done by men.

Even if someone wanted to support Su Xiangyu, he would probably have switched sides by now.

[See, I told you that the host has no chance of winning the election for the field manager, right?] The system is quite gloating over other people's misfortunes.

Su Xiangyu then picked up the microphone on the table.

"Aunt Mei, of course I am very sorry to break up with Director Feng, but at the same time, do you know what inspired me to run for the director and to do everything I can to build Border Town?"

Su Xiangyu deliberately kept everyone in suspense, and when everyone was curious, she continued, "It is precisely because of you, Aunt Mei, that you have been the role model for this farm and the women of our entire border town, so you are respected and admired by everyone! If I don't learn from you and lead women to fight for half the sky, how can I live up to your earnest teachings and earnest hopes for me? So I am running for the farm director on your behalf. When I am elected, I will inherit your will."

…

As soon as he finished speaking, there was unprecedented applause, like thunder.

"I say that in the entire farm, no one's awareness is as high as Su Xiangyu's." Someone said.

Someone else said: "What kind of heart is this? I was so moved that I couldn't help crying."

[Host, what you said is great. I am so moved that I want to cry.] The system actually said.

"Great, this is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Who told Mei Gancai's family to just brag and talk nonsense?" said Su Xiangyu.

Not to mention that the female educated youth's hands were numb from clapping so much, the male educated youth were not satisfied with just clapping, they were all stomping their feet to cheer for Su Xiangyu.

"Let's start voting by raising hands now." Ji Huaiguo stood up and said, "Please raise your hands if you support Su Xiangxiu to be elected as the director."

…

After three minutes of counting, Su Xiangyu had 250 votes and Feng Mingxun also had 250 votes.

Now, there is only one vote left from the director, and the director's vote is definitely Su Xiangyu's.

With a difference of one vote, Feng Mingxun lost to Su Xiangyu.

Feng Mingxun was dumbfounded, and Mei Gancai was dumbfounded.

But when Su Xiangyu was elected, Mei Gancai had to applaud Su Xiangyu, shook her hand sincerely, and said to her: "Xiangyu, you must spread the spirit of us women who never give up."

These words certainly won everyone's applause and encouragement.

Of course, after the election, the chief manager and other branch managers will have to hold a meeting.

As the new director, Su Xiangyu also has to attend the meeting with them.

"Comrade Su Xiangyu, that's really great. In such cold weather, you actually made the sow pregnant. How did you do it?" said Mu Yite, the manager of the three-point field, while shaking Su Xiangyu's hand vigorously.

Recalling the experience of Ye Xiangdong running to the three-point field to help her collect sperm without any complaints, Su Xiangyu twitched her lips and said, "In short, the process was extremely difficult."

"It's good that you're pregnant. Your contribution is sensational. Congratulations. From now on we are colleagues." After shaking hands with Muyite, Su Xiangyu's hand turned blue.

Propaganda officer Zuo Qingan also said: "Our Chaoyang Farm has an 18-year-old female farm manager. I must write an article about this matter tomorrow and send it to the newspaper office in our capital."

Everyone looked at Feng Mingxun. He stood in front of the window with his hands in his pockets. No one knew what was going on in his mind, but he no longer had the calmness he used to have.

However, at least he was still calm. The pickled mustard greens were not very good at first, but suddenly he heard Bart shaking Su Xiangyu's hand and asked, "I heard that you are married, and it's to Mr. Ye from our chemical factory."

Mei Gancai couldn't hold back any longer: "Who?"

Bart pointed at Su Xiangyu and said, "Engineer Ye from our chemical plant is the one who loves hunting and walks around with a homemade gun all day long."

Mei Gancai supported Feng Mingxun, looked up and got confirmation from his son's eyes, but finally couldn't hold on any longer, and said with trembling hands: "I'm afraid it's Ye Xiangdong?"

"Yes, good guys, we all think they are a perfect match." Bart still looked cheerful.

Not only did she break up with her own son, but she also turned around and became her daughter's daughter-in-law?

Mei Gancai looked back at his son, and after confirming that this was true, he suddenly pointed a finger at him.

However, as the youngest son, Feng Mingxun knew his mother's temper well. Before Mei Gancai could rush over, he helped her out of the door.

To be honest, Ji Huaiguo is actually quite satisfied with the results of today's election. Su Xiangyu took office as the director. Although she is only eighteen years old, it is a new society, a new change. What is change? Su Xiangyu as the director, this is change.

"Comrade Su, you raise very good pigs. Of course, your method of raising pigs must be promoted in all our farms. From now on, the male educated youth don't have to dig karez. I think everyone should come back and raise pigs. Before the beginning of next spring, we will sell another batch of piglets, and then all the money will be deposited into your farm's account. How about it?" Ji Huaiguo said, holding Su Xiangyu's hand.

Upon hearing this, not only Su Xiangyu was happy, but even the leader of the male educated youth team, Wang Hongming, stood up excitedly and said, "Director, you have really liberated us male educated youth."

[Congratulations to the host. The task of all the educated youth in the border town eating meat is about to be completed. The host's 100,000 gold coins have been received.] Even the system's tone was a little cheerful.

Adding the fifty yuan for stopping Mu Tie from committing a crime, Su Xiangyu now has 1,200 yuan. She has obtained Estee Lauder's little brown bottle, but if she wants a good set of underwear, she still has to work hard for herself.

So she said, "Director Ji, I have some ideas for the next step. I want to double the output of the first branch next year. Why don't we talk about it today?"

Logically speaking, Director Ji should be very happy that she can engage in production and development, but it is clear that Director Ji is not interested: "It's almost the New Year, and your farm has to slaughter pigs and distribute meat. The educated youths need to rest for a few days. You should also go back to the chemical plant. They said that your file has been approved and you can officially move in."

The chemical plant is a military factory. If she wants to live in it, she has to get her file approved. Su Xiangyu knows this.

But Ye Xiangdong is too good at building relationships.

Not only was he familiar with all the county leaders, but even the farm manager was forcing her to live in the chemical plant. This proved that at least in the eyes of Manager Ji, her file had been approved.

Of course, when they came out of the office, Zhu Xiaojie, Yu Weiwei, Yu Lei's several bad relatives, the little bad guy Mu Tie who needed to be reformed, and most of the female educated youth were all waiting for Su Xiangyu outside.

"We told you that you will be elected." Fan Yiping, who was always arrogant, pushed Zhu Xiaojie aside with his butt and said, "Come on, appoint me now. I will definitely be your production director."

Zhu Xiaojie didn't want to be the production director, but she was very dissatisfied with Fan Yiping's butt-butting her: "You Mengcheng people have big butts, but Fan Yiping, you don't butt as much as you do, right?"

Fan Yiping swung his butt again: "Women hold up half the sky. We women have the final say on this farm now. I'm not only going to swing my butt, I'm also going to shake it vigorously."

Zhu Xiaojie originally looked down on Fan Yiping, but then she changed her mind and realized that she was a relative of her leader, who had just taken office, and she couldn't be too arrogant. She wanted to curse at him, but she held back.

Quietly, she said, "Xiangyu, you can let me do anything, but don't let me work hard. We chose you as the farm manager. From now on, we are all relying on you."

Of course, each leader has his own soldiers. From now on, Su Xiangyu has to consider how to form her own leadership team.

And she also has to find a way to repay Zhu Xiaojie, Yu Weiwei and other extremely good relatives.

When they returned to the pig shed, if Yu Lei and Mu Tie had tails, their tails would have been raised up to the sky.

Everyone on a farm knows each other, but they have to say to everyone they meet: "See, our new farm manager, my sister-in-law."

Especially Mu Tie, he called out "godmother" so loudly that he sounded like a little frog.

Feng Yueba had nothing good to cook for Su Xiangyu, so even though he knew Su Xiangyu was elected, he rubbed his hands and said, "What should I do? I don't have anything here. How can I cook something for our director?"

"We also had wheat bran flour yesterday, and we made wheat bran flour pancakes. I love them. Just add more saccharin." Yu Lei said casually.

Feng Yueba's smile was uglier than crying: "Just you and Mu Tie, how many people eat Xiaoman? Isn't that enough for a meal?"

Yu Lei then went to open the pot, but saw that there was nothing inside. He picked up the flour bag, but found it was empty.

Feng Yueba's little house was very clean, but it was precisely because of its cleanliness that it seemed so desolate when the house was bare of all its elements.

"Have you ever thought about what we'll eat after we finish the bran?" Yu Lei pointed at Su Xiangyu angrily and said, "My sister-in-law, Director, you can't let her be like me, drinking wind and farting, right?"

Feng Yueba was in a real dilemma. "When we don't have noodles, we eat pig feed. How about I cook some pig feed for us tonight?"

When Yu Lei heard about pig feed, he was still looking around, but suddenly stopped and said, "My sister-in-law finally got elected, but today she's eating pig feed?"

This was too embarrassing for him. After all, as a young man from Northeast China, he was not good at anything except saving face.

And today, Mei Gancai brought Feng Mingxun a large fan of pork ribs.

Feng Mingxun has spare ribs to eat, but his sister-in-law eats pig feed?

"How about I cut a piece of meat from the pig first? We have to slaughter it tomorrow anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal if we cut a piece today." Yu Lei said suddenly, with a wild idea.

He also thought his idea was a good one: "The pig will be slaughtered tomorrow anyway, so I can just cut off a piece of it that belongs to me early. What's the big deal?"

Mu Tie chuckled, and Xiaoman also chuckled.

Su Xiangyu is rich now, a full thousand yuan. But, in this situation, how can she ask for food from the system without sharing it with everyone? If she wants to share, how should she explain it?

Ye Xiangdong looked handsome today, wearing a tweed coat, a pair of goggles, and a Zhongshan suit with big leather shoelaces. He looked like he had walked out of a movie.

What's more, the most eye-catching thing is the half pork leg he carries on his shoulder.

He watched from outside for a long time, and only when Mu Tie and Xiao Man were both laughing until tears came out of their eyes did he say, "Forget about cutting the pig's butt. If you want to eat it, I have meat here."

Yu Lei looked back and saw that it was indeed his elder brother Ye Xiangdong who had been loyal to him since childhood, and he was holding a pig's leg in his hand.

And it's not the meatless front leg, but the hind leg with most of the buttocks.

The cheap husband came again, and in front of everyone he had to shake hands with Su Xiangyu: "How was it? I heard that today's election went particularly smoothly?"

Mu Tie said quickly: "The process was tortuous, but my godmother won in the end."

Ye Xiangdong is the person who loves children the most among all the people Su Xiangyu has ever met. Mu Tie is such a naughty child who speaks harshly and is actually quite annoying.

But he was not annoyed, and he hugged Mu Tie and said, "Tell me, what are the twists and turns?"

Mu Tie originally wanted to speak loudly to point out the ugliness that Su Xiang had shown, but when he saw Su Xiangyu glaring at him, he couldn't say it out loud. He put his mouth close to Ye Xiangdong's ear and chattered.

Ye Xiangdong was grinning. His appearance had improved dramatically since he stopped wearing that tattered military coat. He looked at Su Xiangyu for a long time and put his arm around her shoulders. "Let's go, little manager. Feng Yueba is cooking anyway. Let's chat for a while."

Mu Tie and Yu Lei said in unison: "Come on, go on, you guys go chat for a while, we'll go feed the pigs."

As for these two, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuchs are. They wish Su Xiangyu could move to the chemical plant immediately so that they can have a place to live.

No wonder even Su Xiangxiu was surprised by Su Xiangyu's little house. It was the most comfortable and warm one in the border town.

Although I am busy during the day, as soon as I enter this room at night and lie down on the warm kang, I feel indescribably comfortable.

So Su Xiangyu went to bed on the kang as soon as she entered the door. The kang heated by Feng Yueba was so hot that it almost burned her butt. It was really comfortable.

Ye Xiangdong took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the kang, and looked at Su Xiangyu with a smile.

Of course, she is now an eighteen-year-old girl, and Ye Xiangdong is a twenty-four-year-old young man with a good family background, high education, and handsome appearance. Looking at him with his smiling peach blossom eyes, Su Xiangyu always has the illusion that she is a peerless beauty.

"Since you've been selected and your face has been restored, come back to the chemical factory with me. I can support you with a monthly salary of 280 yuan. You don't have to go to work anymore. Just cook for me at home and take care of Mu Tie." Ye Xiangdong said.

This was a bit of a letdown. He had gone to great lengths to abduct such a beautiful woman, but he only wanted her to go home and cook for him?

And this guy will be an economic criminal wanted nationwide in a dozen years.
