The two families on the mountain just briefly talked about who should be the village chief and did not come up with a clue. They had to wait and see what other people had to say first.
To be honest, Jiang Zhi doesn't want to care about those things in the village. Now everyone is in poverty, their belts are tight and tight, and everyone wants relief.
But Zhang Juntou is right. If he doesn't stand on a high place, he will be stepped on by others.
It's just that the position of village chief is very hot, and my family can't go up and ask for it.
This matter was not concealed, and soon, Zhang Juntou's promotion spread in the village.
What surprised Jiang Zhi was that what should have caused an uproar turned out to be as calm as stagnant water.
No one mentioned who should be the village chief.
It was already March, and every household was busy with farm work.
Tian Gui and several migrant households all learned to interplant, and they also followed suit in setting up seedbeds and making dung piles.
They are running around for a living and have little interest in who will be the village chief. Anyway, it will not fall on the person with a foreign surname.
Moreover, outsiders only stay close to the Jiangzhi family. Xu Errui and Xu Xiaoman are too young and may not be able to convince the public, so they simply don't mention them.
In addition to the outsiders, there are also locals of the Xu family in Xujia Village. Xu Changshou is gone, but Xu Changshou has three brothers.
It's just that the remaining two brothers have always had a bad relationship with the greedy younger brother. Even Xu Changshou didn't say anything when he was beaten and expelled.
But when the position of village chief became vacant, Xu Changshou's eldest and second brothers gathered together to discuss: "Second brother, we are from Xujia Village. This is our territory. We cannot let outsiders take over."
The two brothers are both very old. In the past, they only immersed themselves in farm work and had never thought about it, but it was different now. They were clearly showing off their positions, but their buttocks just wanted to sit down.
Xu Changshou's second brother did not reply immediately. He only tightened his thick clothes and coughed violently for a while before gasping: "You and I are both people with dirt on their necks. What do you want to do? It doesn't matter whoever becomes the village chief. That's it." Anyone who wants this mess must get rid of it!"
The elder brother Changshou looked at his declining spirit and was now warm, while the younger brother still looked deathly cold, so he knew that his body was broken.
Knowing that his second brother had no idea, eldest brother Xu Changshou also stopped thinking.
After a trip to escape and see life and death, everyone's mentality changed.
Some people take advantage of the opportunity to pursue their future, while others just want to spend the rest of their lives in peace.
If the third brother Changshou had not sent him to a foreign land for two pieces of land, this situation would definitely have reached the highest level, and he would be the village chief.
As for the children and grandchildren... Xu Changshou's eldest brother shook his head. Each of them couldn't even read a basket of words, and couldn't speak a decent sentence. Even if they were put in the position of village chief, they would be no different than Daoshan.
Not everyone in the Xu family is incompetent. There are smart people who see the awkward position of the village chief.
Xu Gensheng sat with his head down, while his daughter-in-law Pi Shi chattered non-stop: "Head of the family, you go and be the village chief. My uncle and grandpa are the oldest in the Xu family. They want you to be the village chief. Who dares to say no?"
Xu Gensheng glanced at her and said impatiently: "What do you, a stupid woman, know? Zhang Juntou is still in the village, so he says it's inappropriate and it's inappropriate?
He just doesn't want to do things, and the benefits must not be his. "
Xu Gensheng could see clearly that several outsiders now had very good relations with Xu Errui, and even Xu Xiaoman could talk to Zhang Juntou.
If you go out on your own, you will only get trapped, so you should live peacefully and honestly farm the land and build a few shacks to live.
Xu Gensheng could see things that Pi couldn't, but she didn't dare to talk back to her husband, so she could only shut up and thought about going out to find other wives to complain.
However, before she even left the house, Xu Gensheng warned her: "If you want to be like Yaozu's wife, I will send you back to your parents' home! We are short of food now, so go dig bamboo shoots in the mountains for me."
People in Xujiacun always dig spring bamboo shoots, and only eat the bitter ones in summer.
Now the bamboo forest in the village has been burned down, and all the bamboo shoots have been dug up as soon as they sprout. It is impossible for there to be any more bamboo this year.
But there are still bamboo shoots to dig up in the mountains. If you are tired of eating cabbage in the ground, an extra bamboo shoot can add freshness.
Although Pi was also a talker, she was afraid of being sent back to her parents' home, and even more afraid of starving, so she could only hold back her full words.
Xu Errui and others did the work in the fields, so Jiangzhi Church did not go down the mountain again and pretended not to know about the village chief's choice.
In the medical shed, Li Laoshi was running back and forth to help Zhang inspect his luggage and prepare the horses.
The wounded soldiers had almost left, and Xu Dong also returned to the city to open his medical clinic. Except for a dozen or so big soldiers, there was no one else here.
As a result, Li Laoshi, a handyman who worked as a sidekick, is now being used as a big help.
Zhang Juntou is going to the county government to formally accept the appointment and then recruit people.
Li Laoshi blinked his eyes: "Master Zhang, no one in Xujia Village is the village chief. Tell Magistrate Zhang that you might as well let Mrs. Jiang take over for a while!"
He knew in his heart that Er Rui was still very young, and if there was any trouble in Xujia Village in the future, it would be Sister Jiang who could suppress it.
Zhang Juntou said with a dark face: "What are you talking about? There is no woman in charge of the house. Don't worry about the affairs here!"
Zhang Juntou went to the county government, and Xujia Village returned to peace. Every family was immersed in work, but a storm was quietly brewing.
It's March now, and the mountains are green and spring flowers are blooming again, and all the green grass has grown.

Jiang Zhi also begins the busiest day of the year.
It's just that unlike last year, when I had to dig kudzu roots and grind qinggang powder every day to fill my stomach, this year I have to take care of the crops first and then collect herbs.
The wheat on the mountain has been knotted, and the grass inside is growing wildly.
Chunfeng, Jiangzhi and Qiaoyun weed on the slope every day.
In the wheat field, the seedlings grow in clumps, and they need to be pulled out one by one. They have to be hoeed quickly before the seedlings bloom, otherwise they will grow more and more every year.
On the ground were clumps of cowweed, which made one’s scalp numb just by looking at them.
Jiang Zhi didn't understand.
For the sudden appearance of Lala seedlings, it can also be understood that the seeds with downy thorn hooks were blown by the wind, hung on clothes while working, or stuck on the fur of other animals.
So what's going on with these cowweeds?
In the past, this was a hillside covered with thatch and shrubs, but after it was burned by wildfires, crops were planted for another year, and the sparse cowgrass suddenly broke out.
As the name suggests, beef tendon has a well-developed root system and its stems and leaves are as strong as beef tendons. It cannot be pulled up when it grows on the ground.
The most critical thing is that the huge grass roots are entangled with the wheat roots, which not only robs the fertility, but also makes it difficult to even weed.
While the grass was still small, Jiang Zhi and his two wives squatted in the wheat field, picking grass roots with the tip of a knife against the sun.
The early spring sun was already so intense that people were wearing only jackets, and their skin was still burning and painful at noon.
Someone once asked on the Internet why farmers "hoe the fields at noon". Don't they know that the sun is very bright?
Basking in the sun is stupid!
Obviously you can choose to work in the morning or afternoon when there is no sun!
They don't know that weeds like cowweed may not die even if they are hoeed and dried immediately.
If you hoe the grass in the afternoon, it is equivalent to turning the grass over and it can still grow.
Of course, this is also something ordinary people do.
If it were autumn, Jiang Zhi could turn the milfoil into medicine, but unfortunately now the medicine season is wrong and it cannot be used as medicine.
But there is a grass-eating pig, and there are grass-eating chickens and grass-eating rabbits that need to be raised at home. Grass is of great use.
On the edge of the field, Peppa Pig lay lazily sleeping, just waiting for a lot of grass to be delivered to her to eat.
It's not that it's lazy, it's mainly that it's a wheat field and it's already a forbidden area for it.
Wash and cut into small pieces and decoct it to relieve joint pain and rheumatism. It is effective in treating bruises and bruises.
