At around 7 o'clock in the evening, many people were already sitting in the middle courtyard of the Red Star Courtyard.
There are more than 20 households in the courtyard, almost more than a hundred people, and the courtyard is packed to capacity.
In the middle courtyard near the door of Shazhu's house, there is a square table with a tablecloth on it and melon seeds and water cups on it.
This is Liu Haizhong's masterpiece. After knowing that he was chosen to be the steward tonight, he started jumping up and down.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, the originally empty middle courtyard seemed overcrowded because everyone in the courtyard was gathered together.
With so many people sitting together, the air was a bit stuffy.
Sitting in front of the square table were three staff members from the subdistrict office.
Sitting in the middle of the table is Wu Mingjuan, who is in charge of the Red Star Courtyard and is also the host of this election.
To Wu Mingjuan's left sat a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old, and to his right sat a female clerk about the same age as Wu Mingjuan.
Zhang Zhifei disliked the crowd and stuffiness, so he pulled up a stool and sat on the outermost edge. Next to him were Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and others.
"Ahem... Everyone, please be quiet. The respected comrades from the street office came to our compound today to choose the steward. Everyone must..."
"Okay, second uncle, the street office didn't say anything. It's time for you to start." Silly Zhu said sarcastically at Yi Zhonghai's signal.
"Silly Zhu is very out of touch! Guangqi, he said your dad, you three brothers won't go up and beat him up." Zhang Zhifei said in a low voice.
Xu Damao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "That's right, the grandson of Silly Zhu is about to get beaten. Why don't Guangqi give it a try?"
Liu Guangqi glanced at the two of them and said, "Let's forget it. There are comrades from the street office today who will beat them up another day."
A few people quietly discussed some topics about beating stupid pillars, then ended it and looked towards the field.
Liu Haizhong was quarreling with Sha Zhu at the moment. Liu Haizhong reacted slowly and was really no match for Sha Zhu in a quarrel.
"Zhu Zhu, don't talk. Everyone should be quiet and let the comrades from the sub-district office do the talking." Yi Zhonghai saw that the staff at the sub-district office were impatient and felt that he had achieved his goal, so he said to Sha Zhu.
"Quiet! I am Wu Mingjuan, the clerk of the street office who manages our courtyard. The two people next to me are also staff of the street office. The three of us came to the courtyard today for one purpose, to choose a new steward."
After Wu Mingjuan finished speaking, Zhang Zhifei took the lead in applauding. Xu Damao and others joined in, and finally everyone started applauding.
“The system of stewards was first established to prevent reactionaries and spies, and later it was used to help street offices mediate neighborhood conflicts.
He cannot replace the role of the sub-district office or even the police station. Major incidents still need to be handled by the public security and sub-district offices.
The three stewards of Hongxing Siheyuan, especially the first steward Yi Zhonghai, have wantonly expanded the authority of the stewards. They often drive people away and ask for jobs from neighbors. They have more power than our street office. This is a wrong approach and will not happen in the future. Similar situations will never be allowed to happen. "When Wu Mingjuan said this, she looked at Yi Zhonghai.
Everyone in the courtyard was very excited when they saw Yi Zhonghai being pulled out and whipped to death again.
In the past few days, Jia Zhang has been acting recklessly in the courtyard. Many people are very disgusted and vaguely aware of Yi Zhonghai's role behind it. Now that they have the opportunity to mock Yi Zhonghai, everyone will naturally not fall behind.
"Master, please tell everyone what you think. This power is greater than that of the police station and street office. It must not be a high-ranking official like the director of the Public Security Bureau.
Let's talk about your feelings, and let us poor-legged people feel what it's like to be an official. "Xu Damao fell into the pit and added insult to injury.
Silly Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai who was being ridiculed by everyone, and frowned. He was about to get angry, but he was afraid that so many people would gang up on him, so he stopped.
Now hearing Xu Damao's sarcastic voice, he directly found the punching bag.
It happened that Xu Damao was blackmailed in the first month of this year. He had long wanted to take revenge. He shouted angrily: "Xu Damao, you are seeking death. Who gave you the courage to speak like this?"
Although Zhang Zhifei knew that Wu Mingjuan was planning to elect him, he could also win some votes in advance. He looked at Silly Zhu and said: "Silly Zhu!
Does this courtyard belong to your family?
Everyone can't even speak anymore, they still say that you are a former landlord and rich man, and we, the servants, have no right to speak. "
Hearing Zhang Zhifei's words, Silly Zhu wanted to say something else. He Yuyu hurriedly stood up and said: "Brother Zhifei, my brother didn't mean it like this. He is used to fighting with Brother Damao, so he didn't really mean it like this."
"Yu Yu, shut up, and don't call these two villains brother." Silly Zhu pushed He Yu Yu away.
Zhang Lili helped He Yuyu who was sitting on the ground. Zhang Zhifei looked at Silly Zhu and calmly said two words: "Stupid!"
"Brilliant!" Xu Damao gave Zhang Zhifei a thumbs up.
"He Yuzhu, what are you going to do? Come here and let me see how capable you are of hitting someone." Wu Mingjuan shouted, and then said to He Yuzhu: "Comrade Yuzhu, how do you feel?"
He Yuyu shook his head and said nothing.
"Si Zhu sit down." At the critical moment, Yi Zhonghai held Si Zhu down.
Wu Mingjuan glared at Silly Zhu and continued: "Everyone has to go to work tomorrow. I'll make a long story short. Today we will re-elect the steward. Let me talk about my qualifications first.
Both men and women can run for election as long as they are over 18 years of age. However, Yi Zhonghai, as the main culprit of bullying military martyrs, is not allowed to run. This is also specifically requested by the director of the subdistrict office.
If you want to run for election now, you can stand up and talk about how you plan to manage the courtyard in the future. "
"I..." Yi Zhonghai looked very ugly. He had done so much work, but in the end he was not even qualified to stand for election.
Although his face was ugly, Yi Zhonghai still couldn't leave the election site due to his consistent personality.
"I'm running for election. I was originally the second uncle. Yi Zhonghai couldn't choose, so everyone chose me." Liu Haizhong was so happy that he had finally completely surpassed Yi Zhonghai.
In terms of employee levels, he is currently level 6 and Yi Zhonghai is level 5.
This time Yi Zhonghai lost the qualification to run for the position of steward. Isn't he a sure shot?
"I choose too."
"And I."
…
"I'm running for election." Zhang Zhifei finally stood up amidst Wu Mingjuan's expectations.
…
"All those who want to elect a steward should stand in front and tell one by one how they plan to manage the courtyard." Wu Mingjuan looked at the dozen or so people who stood up.
Some people just joined in the fun and saw that they were still talking about management methods. They knew that they were not the material, so they quit.
In the end, two lesbians were Zhang Zhifei, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Shazhu, Li Huandi who lived in the middle courtyard, and Wang Gaiwa who lived in the backyard.
Xu Damao was the first to say: "If I am elected, I will make sure to give you a good seat when watching the movie..."
Liu Haizhong interrupted Xu Damao's promise: "Come on Damao, no matter what management skills you have, I have to do it. I am the second uncle myself. I think I am the best choice."
Silly Zhu mocked: "Come on, second uncle, you are good at beating children and managing the courtyard, I think it's better to forget it!" After saying that, he burst out laughing. Zhang Zhifei didn't know what was so funny about Silly Zhu.
Yan Bugui: "I..."
Silly Zhu continued to mock: "Uncle Yan, you have no choice. You are just Yan Laoxi, so choose whatever you want."
Zhang Zhifei glanced sideways at Silly Zhu. He was sure he wouldn't be beaten to death.
Several other candidates also expressed their campaign methods one after another.
Finally, Zhang Zhifei stood up and said: "I think the main purpose of this steward is not to manage people, but to serve our courtyard.
Suppose that after I am elected, some minor affairs offices will be able to coordinate and handle the matter, but if it involves illegal crimes, they will still have to be handed over to higher-level departments for handling.
For example, in the spring of this year, Shazhu attacked Xu Damao secretly, which almost caused irreversible consequences.
At that time, some people refused to call the police. This was wrong. Damao was lucky. If something happened, who among us could bear such a big responsibility.
At the same time, I think there should be one female comrade among the three stewards of our courtyard. There are also many female comrades in our courtyard, and some matters really need to be handled by female comrades.
The most important thing is that if some residents in our compound abuse others wantonly, I will definitely deal with them seriously if they do it again after I am elected. "
As soon as Zhang Zhifei finished speaking, his sister took the lead in applauding. Some female comrades also felt that what Zhang Zhifei said was reasonable and began to applaud. Finally, most of the residents started to applaud.
Wu Mingjuan waved her hand to signal everyone to stop applauding, and said: "Since no one is talking, let's start voting. But I also know that everyone lives in a compound, and we don't look up to meet each other. If you choose this or not, you are afraid of offending others."
Today we will hold the election behind closed doors and everyone will go back to their homes. Our sub-district office staff will come to your homes to collect your votes and count them in the courtyard. In this way, everyone will not have any worries and can choose according to their own wishes. "
The heads of each household in the courtyard returned to their homes to prepare their ballots. Five minutes later, Wu Mingjuan and three subdistrict office staff were responsible for collecting the ballots from one courtyard.
