You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 31 News about the village accountant position

I got blisters on my hands, popped them with a needle, and then went back to work the next day.

Anyone who sees this life would feel sorry for them.

But for people nowadays, it's nothing big, just a very normal thing.

Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips, feeling sorry for himself.

"Host, relax your grip a little, don't hold on too tightly!" System 666 paid a little attention to his hand this time and gave him a timely reminder.

"Okay!" This system is trash. The rewards are all too ordinary. Can't you give me something more sophisticated?

System 666: "Host, I heard you!"

"Oh!" Lu Yuanqing showed no embarrassment at being overheard by the person he was talking badly about. "You just shouldn't have listened to it!"

Having a system that can hear his thoughts at any time, Lu Yuanqing had no choice but to come up with this solution.

"Xiaxia, are you tired?"

While Lu Yuanqing was talking to the system, Lu Mingxi and her girlfriends were chatting and bragging enthusiastically.

"I'm not tired!" Cheng Xia smiled at her. "Xiao west, don't worry, I'll rest when I'm tired!"

"Moreover, these past few days, after I went to work, I haven't felt particularly unwell when I got home; on the contrary, I feel quite relaxed! The doctors in this provincial capital are really amazing; even my dad isn't stopping me anymore!"

"That's great! Now you can go back to school!" Lu Mingxi was genuinely happy for his friend.

Because of her poor health, Cheng Xia would often take leave from school to rest at home during the year.

"Mmm!" Cheng Xia nodded with a smile, wisely avoiding the topic of school.

"Why didn't you go help your uncles?" Lu Mingxi said to her as he shook the mud off the potatoes he had dug up and put them into his basket.

"No, I want to go with you!" Cheng Xia quickly shook her head. Her father and cousin looked worried and anxious about her health whenever they saw her working.

She's not a child anymore; she'll rest when she's tired.

Lu Mingxi remained silent for a moment. Although he sometimes envied Cheng Xia's treatment, everyone in the Cheng family was worried about her.

But whenever she saw her gasping for breath and fainting, she no longer envied her; instead, she felt sorry for her.

She can jump and run around freely, but Cheng Xia can't.

Cheng Xia didn't want to talk about these topics either, so she immediately changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao west, did you know? The village accountant might be retiring, and a lot of people are trying to get a job for him!"

"Do we even need to fight for this?" Lu Mingxi didn't care at all. Her family had never produced any village officials, so naturally she didn't care.

Anyway, it's always the captain and his team who choose the people, so they don't feel involved at all.

She didn't care, but Lu Yuanqing, who was listening quietly to the side, did!

"Xia, tell me, who are the people vying for this position?" Lu Yuanqing threw down his hoe and squatted down in front of the two girls, asking with a smile.

"Third Uncle, do you want to try?" Lu Mingxi asked.

"Okay, let's see how it goes!" Lu Yuanqing nodded, then looked at Cheng Xia.

"Third Uncle, I haven't paid much attention, but I heard from my cousin that Gu Hailiang is determined to win this time!" Cheng Xia called out to Lu Mingxi.

"Gu Hailiang?" Lu Yuanqing frowned; he was even more determined to become an accountant.

Gu Hailiang's wife disgusts them so much, so he wouldn't agree to it on his own.

“That’s right!” Cheng Xia said with a smile, “Gu Hailiang has already contacted the brigade leader, the deputy brigade leader, and the women’s cadre. The village party secretary doesn’t get along with his family, so he hasn’t contacted him yet. Besides, it was no use contacting the old accountant.”

The old accountant didn't retire because of his age; rather, he had a conflict with the village head, Zhao Zhongcai, which is why they needed to find a new accountant in the village.

However, such a slightly secretive matter is known only to a few people. Since the old accountant was at fault, he would never actively publicize it.

"Xiaxia, you know far too much!" Lu Mingxi exclaimed in shock.

After all, they hadn't heard a single word about it.

Cheng Xia smiled at her and said, "Have you forgotten that my aunt is the brigade leader's younger sister?"

When she was sick at home and had nothing to do, she would go to her grandparents' house, and that's how she heard all this gossip.

“My grandma said that the eldest son of the Gu family is still in the army, and the battalion commander and others will still give him face. Gu Hailiang has also studied for a few years and can read, so he is qualified to become an accountant!”

"Hmph, he only went to school for a few years. My third uncle even finished junior high school!" Lu Mingxi said indignantly.

We've already had a big fight, and I'm still angry! We can't even get to the point of greeting each other when we meet.

Aside from Gu Baoxia, she disliked everyone else in the Gu family equally.

“Then Third Uncle can give it a try!” Cheng Xia smiled gently, looking like her best friend’s enemy was her enemy.

It's a complete case of shared hatred against a common enemy!

Lu Yuanqing rested his chin on his hand, showing great interest in this.

However, Shihua Village rarely changes its cadres, and even in the original owner's memories, there was no explanation for this.

So... how are village officials replaced? Does the entire village participate in the vote?

"Does the captain also approve of Gu Hailiang in his heart?" Lu Yuanqing asked thoughtfully.

Cheng Xia nodded. "I heard from my grandma and aunt that among the applicants, Gu Hailiang seems to be the most suitable."

Even if he has an older brother in the military, we still have to give him that much face.

Gu Hailiang himself has a good reputation in the village, and the few village officials are quite satisfied with him.

Do I need to register again?

Lu Yuanqing blinked. "Xia, do you think I have a good chance of becoming the village accountant?"

“Of course it’s great!” Cheng Xia said quickly. “Third Uncle, you have a high level of education, so you can definitely be an accountant.”

"You can go to the brigade leader's office as soon as possible to find out the situation. I think we should finalize the personnel after this busy period is over, at least before the autumn harvest. Uncle, I think you have the best chance. Then the brigade leader, deputy leader and other cadres will vote to confirm."

In fact, villagers like Lu Yuanqing, who never cared about such things, were not very aware of the change of accountant.

However, the families of these officials still knew some of the inside information.

Strictly speaking, many people in the village are related, so this matter is considered an open secret in the village.

However, Lu Yuanqing's family was completely unaware of this, which shows how 'isolated' they lived.

This is also because no one in his family likes to boast or chat with the villagers. Every day, they either go to work or shut themselves in after work, completely isolated from the villagers.

Lu Yuanqing understood! He seemed to have read about it in a book before, that it was only in the early 1980s that villagers voted directly.

So it seems that the election is still conducted by representatives of the commune members, and the village representatives seem to consist only of a few cadres such as the brigade leader.

Once the quota is determined, it will be reported to the commune for appointment or approval.

It seems he needs to go and find out from the captain!
