"Okay, since you brat insists on letting me go, I won't stop you." Li Deyou said with a sigh.

Boom boom! The sound of bells at the entrance of the village committee enveloped the entire village.

"The brigade has something else to inform. Let's go quickly. I'm late and I won't hear you from behind." Li Dezhong stood up and picked up a small stool, preparing to "eat melon" for the meeting."

"Second uncle, let's not be in a hurry. It must be an issue with the village regarding the five recruitment quotas. Let's not rush to the front and cause hatred." Li Wen stopped him with a smile.

"That's it! It's better to go later. I've already given you a place, and the rest must have nothing to do with our family." Li Dezhong sat down again.

Li Junli sat in the front row and looked at the wheat field filled with people before he spoke.

"Members, I'm informing you to come here today. I have a piece of bad news and two pieces of good news to tell you."

"Why is there bad news in the meeting? Why should I inform you of the bad news?" The seven aunts, eight aunts, and various senior men in the crowd began to murmur.

"Let me tell you the bad news first. Because the county is planning to build a cannery, our village can no longer be able to produce cans," Li Junli said.

"Can't we continue? Then we will definitely lose a lot of dividends this year. What should we do with the purchased tools? We can't sell them as scraps. They only cost thousands of dollars." Some people said unwillingly.

"We members must put the overall situation first in everything we do! Listen to our superiors." At this time, some people with high ideological consciousness said.

"Okay, everyone, stop muttering. The roads and location in our village are not suitable for running a cannery for a long time."

"This year, the county leaders have made a guarantee with the province to increase production ten times compared to last year. Our village cannot do it even if we are exhausted, so the superior's arrangement is right." Li Juncai pressed his hands and explained.

.

At this time, everyone was still very united and listened to the leaders. After hearing the arrangements from their superiors, everyone said nothing.

"One of the good news is that the county will buy all the tools our brigade purchased for the canning workshop last year at the price."

"Our village will be able to earn more than 2,000 yuan in income this year, and the village decided to use the money to distribute dividends during the Chinese New Year." Li Junli talked about the results of the canning workshop, and took out real money to appease people's hearts.

"Another piece of good news is related to some of these people, but it's not yet clear who they are."

"You kid, Junli, don't be too secretive. Tell me quickly, is there any good news and does it have anything to do with my family?" The uncles and aunties in the front row urged anxiously.

"Okay, since everyone is in a hurry, I won't give in. This time, in order to compensate for the losses caused by the cancellation of the workshop in our village, the county specially rewarded six canning factory job quotas."

"Five of them are awarded to the village collective, and one is awarded to Xiaowen alone." Li Junli announced loudly.

"Wow! Job quota, iron rice bowl."

The members of the wheat farm suddenly became excited.

"Then how did the brigade allocate these job quotas?" Some of the more active members in the village began to question.

Hearing someone ask, everyone in the wheat field immediately stopped making noise, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Here is the red-headed document issued above. Please circulate it around. If you are illiterate, ask your children to read it to you."

More than half an hour later, the document was back in Li Junli's hands.

"According to the instructions in the document, these quotas require skilled workers. In other words, only members who actively worked in the canning factory had the opportunity to obtain this quota." Li Junli opened the document and explained.

"There were dozens of people working in the workshop at the beginning. How to divide these five places? Your village cadres don't want to allocate military benefits to their own families." Some of the more aggressive women began to argue with each other.

"Fart! Tieniu, how do you guys take care of your wife?" Li Juncai slapped the table and roared.

"You mother-in-law, please sit down quickly, I'm so embarrassed by you." Several men with dark faces pulled their mothers-in-law to sit down quickly.

"These five quotas are indeed very precious. When we came back, Director Zhang of the commune told us that we must be fair and just."

"That's why today we called everyone to the village committee to hold this meeting. We just want to be open and fair, and strive to be fair." Li Juncai said word by word.

"There are sixty or seventy people in the canning workshop, but there are only five places, so the village committee decided to draw numbers to select the places, so everyone has no objection." Li Jun glanced at the crowd with sharp eyes.

Suddenly, the temperament of the fierce captain who caught people stealing and sneaking around while working in the fields and beating up lazy members came back.

"But I want to say something in advance. Those who did not work well in the canning factory, cheated and were kicked out are not eligible for the quota." Li Dequan, the security director on the side, also said.

"Come on, let each family send someone up to check the lottery boxes to see if there is any cheating."

"Put the paper balls for the five places on the table. After everyone checks them, put them inside." Li Junli stood up and placed the red cardboard box beside him on the table.

More than a hundred people came to the front desk and carefully checked the cartons to prevent village cadres from cheating.

Some people even took out the paper balls in the box and compared them with the paper balls that had quotas. They did not leave until they confirmed that there was no problem.

"Okay, Fifth Brother, please crumple these five paper balls and throw them into the carton." Li Junli said to Li Deyou, who was the last one to check.

"Junli, the county has already awarded Awen a quota, so our family doesn't need to draw a lottery."

"There are four or five people in my family working in the workshop. It would be unfair to everyone if we were to get a quota in the lottery." Li Deyou said with a wry smile.

"Well, okay! Let me tell the people in the village." Li Junli was stunned for a moment and instantly understood the relationship.

"Everyone should be quiet for a moment, and then let the people who worked in the workshop last year come forward to draw the quota."

"However, I want to inform you here. Just now, Li Deyou's family has given up the qualification for this lottery. Now there are four less people. We must thank them properly." Li Junli said with a smile.

"Lao Wu is so awesome. The four members of his family have a great chance of winning the lottery! I didn't expect to give up right away." Some people said in admiration.

"What a big deal! His family already has a quota, so it's okay if they draw another one." Some envious women and men complained sourly.

"That's the ability of other people's sons. If you are capable, your child will also have such abilities!" The villagers who couldn't stand it said.

The person who complained about Li Deyou was instantly speechless and could only whisper that he was a flatterer.

"Fifth sister-in-law, your family is so grand!" Aunt Hua, who was sitting next to Li Wen's house, gave a thumbs up and said in admiration.

"Hi! You have to be content. The county has already awarded Awen a quota, and we won't compete with everyone else for the rest."

"It's not easy for everyone. If there is a worker in the family, life will be easier." Wang Chunmei explained with a smile.

Um!……
