Chapter 71 Bed Board
“He Yuzhu, what are you going to do? Let me watch you. How strong are you to dare to hit someone?”

Wang Shuanghua shouted, and then said to He Yushui: “Comrade Yushui, how do you feel?”

He Yushui shook his head and said nothing.

“Silly, sit down.”

At the critical moment, Yi Zhonghai pinned down Sha Zhu.

Wang Shuanghua glared at Sha Zhu and continued, “Everyone has to go to work tomorrow, so I’ll make it short. Today we will re-elect the manager. Let me first talk about the eligibility criteria. Both men and women who are over 18 years old can run for election. However, Yi Zhonghai, as the main offender of bullying the families of military martyrs, is not allowed to run for election. This is also a special request from the director of the subdistrict office. Anyone who wants to run for election can stand up and talk about how they plan to manage the courtyard in the future.”

“I……”

Yi Zhonghai looked very unhappy. He had done so much work, but in the end he was not even qualified to run for election.

Despite his grim expression, Yi Zhonghai could not leave the election site due to his usual personality.

“I am running for election. I am the second uncle. Yi Zhonghai cannot be elected. Everyone will choose me.”

Liu Haizhong was so happy that he finally surpassed Yi Zhonghai in all aspects.

In terms of employee level, I am now at level four and Yi Zhonghai is at level three.

This time Yi Zhonghai has lost the qualification to run for the position of manager, so isn’t it a sure win for me?

“I choose too.”

“And I.”

……

“I’m running.”

Shen Zhiyu finally stood up as Wang Shuanghua expected.

……

“All those who want to elect a manager should stand in front and tell us how they plan to manage the courtyard house.”

Wang Shuanghua looked at the dozen or so people who stood up.

Some people just joined in the fun, and when they saw that they had to talk about management methods, they knew they were not cut out for it, so they backed off.

In the end, Shen Zhiyu, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Sha Zhu, Huang Chunzhi who lived in the middle courtyard and two female comrades Lu Chunjuan who lived in the back yard.

Xu Damao was the first to say: “If I am elected, I will guarantee to reserve a good seat for everyone when we watch the movie, …”

Liu Haizhong interrupted Xu Damao’s promise: “Come on, Damao, what management skills do you have? It’s still me who has to do it. I am the second uncle. I think it’s best to choose me.”

Sha Zhu sneered, “Come on, Second Uncle, you are only good at beating children, but I think you should forget about managing a courtyard house!”

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Shen Zhiyu didn’t know what was so funny about Sha Zhu.

Yan Bugui: “I…”

Sha Zhu continued to taunt, “Uncle Yan, you don’t have to choose. You are just Old Man Yan, what is there to choose?”

Shen Zhiyu glanced at Sha Zhu, and it was certain that this guy would not be beaten to death.

Several other candidates also successively expressed their campaign strategies.

Finally, Shen Zhiyu stood up and said, “I think the main purpose of this steward is not to manage people, but to serve our courtyard. If I am elected, some minor matters will be handled by the courtyard, but if they involve illegal crimes, they will still be handed over to higher authorities for handling.” “For example, at the beginning of this spring, Sha Zhu attacked Xu Damao, which almost caused irreversible consequences. At that time, someone didn’t let us call the police, which was wrong, and Damao was lucky. If something really happened, who among us could bear such a big responsibility. At the same time, I think there should be a female comrade among the three stewards of our courtyard. We have a lot of female comrades in our courtyard, and some things do need to be handled by female comrades.”

Glancing at everyone, Shen Zhiyu continued, “The most important thing is, for some residents in our courtyard who wantonly insult others, after I am elected, if they do it again, I will definitely deal with them seriously.”

As soon as Shen Zhiyu finished speaking, his sister started applauding first.

Some female comrades also felt that what Shen Zhiyu said made sense and began to applaud.

Finally, most of the residents started to applaud.

Wang Shuanghua waved his hand to signal everyone to stop clapping, and said, “Since no one is talking, let’s start voting. But I also know that we all live in the same compound, and we all know each other very well. If we vote for this or that, we’re afraid of offending people. Today we’ll vote behind closed doors, and everyone will go home. Our street office staff will come to your homes, collect ballots, and count the votes in the compound. This way, everyone won’t have any concerns 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, Wang Shuanghua and three other street office staff members were responsible for collecting the ballots from each courtyard.

Before long, Wang Shuanghua and others collected all the ballots.

The three men held the ballot box, came to the table in the middle courtyard, and began to count the votes.

“All the ballots have been collected, and we will start counting the votes now. Xiaocheng, you will be responsible for recording.” Wang Shuanghua said to the young man next to him.

“Liu Haizhong one vote, Shen Zhiyu one vote, Huang Chunzhi one vote.”

“Shen Zhiyu one vote, Xu Damao one vote, Lu Chunjuan one vote.”

“Xu Damao has one vote, Shen Zhiyu has one vote, and Huang Chunzhi has one vote.”

……

“Yan Bugui has one vote, He Yuzhu has one vote, and Lu Chunjuan has one vote.”

“Shen Zhiyu one vote, Xu Damao one vote, Huang Chunzhi one vote.”

Wang Shuanghua put down the ballot box and said, “The counting of votes is over. Xiaocheng, give me the vote results you recorded.”

Wang Shuanghua took a look at it and was very satisfied. He was originally prepared to use some tricks, but now it seemed unnecessary. He said, “Now let me announce the total number of votes. Liu Haizhong got 11 votes, Yan Bugui got 6 votes, He Yuzhu got 4 votes, Xu Damao got 8 votes, Shen Zhiyu got 17 votes, Huang Chunzhi got 13 votes, and Lu Chunjuan got 10 votes.”

“According to the election results, the new stewards are Shen Zhiyu, Liu Haizhong, and Huang Chunzhi. Shen Zhiyu will manage the front yard on a daily basis, Huang Chunzhi will manage the middle yard, and Liu Haizhong will manage the back yard, with Shen Zhiyu as the main person. Congratulations to the three of them for their election, and welcome the new stewards.”

Shen Zhifang didn’t expect that his brother could be the manager, and he clapped his hands happily.

The residents who chose Shen Zhiyu were the first to applaud, leaving only a few households including Sha Zhu, who looked very embarrassed.

“Thank you all for your kindness. I will devote myself to serving the entire courtyard and building our Red Star Courtyard into a civilized and harmonious courtyard.” Shen Zhiyu said.

Liu Haizhong stood up reluctantly and said, “I will cooperate with the uncle’s work.”

Thinking that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui had nothing, Liu Hai felt a lot more comfortable.

Huang Chunzhi said happily: “Me too.”

In the crowd, Sha Zhu mocked a simple-minded man standing on the periphery and said, “Guangli, you are a soft-hearted person. Now that your wife is the boss, she will definitely ride on you.”

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, who were born enemies, took over the conversation and said, “At least Guangli has someone to ride on, but you can only ride on the bed.”

All the old women in the yard burst into laughter.

Sha Zhu looked at everyone, not understanding what they were laughing at. What was wrong with riding on the bed? He didn’t take it seriously at the moment and was even complacent, thinking he was very powerful.
