Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Secretary Huang did not keep everyone waiting too long. He confirmed again that there was no problem with the ballot before speaking.

"With consent."

"Comrade Chen Dehui received a total of 19 votes, temporarily ranking first among all candidates."

"This is impossible?" Yi Zhonghai's reaction was the most exaggerated. He asked back with his eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief.

"How could he have more votes than me? Director Huang must have made a mistake..."

For Yi Zhonghai, if he acknowledges the 19 votes Chen Dehui has obtained, and ranks first in the number of votes, Chen Dehui will become the undisputed boss of Siheyuan, and no one can replace him.

In this way, Yi Zhonghai, who had been planning for several days, would lose his position as the boss.

This is absolutely something he cannot accept.

In order tonight's vote, Yi Zhonghai not only used one month's salary to buy gifts, but also made many promises to a dozen fitters in the yard.

It would be a huge loss if you paid such a huge price and still lost your position as a boss.

Secretary Huang didn't expect that an election of an old man in a courtyard would cause such a big reaction. He directly put the ballot that Chen Dehui got on the table and asked seriously, "Master Yi..."

"These are all the votes Comrade Chen Dehui received. If you don't believe me, you can come and check it yourself."

Seeing that Chen Haizhong and Yan Fugui also had shocked expressions on their faces and wanted to speak, Director Huang spoke without waiting for them to open their mouths.

"Master Liu and Teacher Yan can also come over to check..."

"All the votes were cast by residents of the courtyard, and they were cast in full view of the public. No one could cheat."

This matter is related to whether he can be elected as the head of the courtyard.

Although checking the ballots in front of Secretary Huang would offend him, in order to protect his position as the boss under him, Yi Zhonghai still gritted his teeth and walked up to Secretary Huang to check the ballots.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were no exception.

A few minutes later, the shocked expression on Yi Zhonghai's face was unconsciously replaced by solemnity.

Liu Haizhong also had a heavy expression on his face.

As for Yan Fugui, he showed an expression of despair.

Chen Dehui received more votes than himself, and he is also a resident of the front yard, so he will definitely be elected as the uncle of the Siheyuan, and he will not be able to be the uncle of the Siheyuan.

At this moment, Secretary Huang was indeed very dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Reviewing the votes Chen Dehui received in front of him clearly showed that he did not trust him.

After they finished counting the votes, he snorted and asked, "Master Yi, Master Liu... Do you believe now that Comrade Chen Dehui received 19 votes?"

Yi Zhonghai still didn't want to admit it in his heart, but facing Director Huang's scorching gaze and the facts, he had to nod.

He lowered his head and answered, "Old Chen did get 19 votes."

Secretary Huang continued: "Next, we will announce that Xu Dayou has received many votes..."

"After counting, Comrade Xu Damao received a total of five votes..."

Although this result was much lower than Xu Damao expected, Xu Damao did not say much.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are both senior technicians in the steel rolling mill, and Chen Dehui is very popular in the yard, so it is normal that his votes are lower than theirs.

Every year, Secretary Huang would show an expression of admiration towards the silent Xu Damao.

Then he walked to the middle of the yard with the recorded data: "Now that the voting results are out, I declare..."

"Comrade Chen Dehui from the front yard was elected as the new first master of our courtyard..." "Comrade Yi Zhonghai from the middle yard was elected as the new second master of our courtyard..."

"Comrade Liu Haizhong from the backyard was elected as the new third uncle of the courtyard."

"If there is any problem in the yard in the future, please ask the three uncles to handle and mediate first. If the three uncles cannot mediate, you can ask the police and the street."

"Of course, if something illegal happens in the yard."

"The three uncles don't have the authority to deal with this. You can go directly to the street office and the police."

"I'm leaving now. I'll report your election results to the street office for record tomorrow. The rest of the time will be handed over to your three newly elected uncles."

Secretary Huang had wanted to go home a long time ago, so he hurried away with his notebook, not wanting to stay in the yard for even a minute.

Looking at Officer Huang who left in a hurry, Wang Dong's face was full of smiles.

Originally, I thought that Uncle Chen being elected as the eldest uncle of the Siheyuan was the best result, but I didn't expect that he would directly replace Yi Zhonghai and be elected as the eldest uncle of the Siheyuan.

After Huang disappeared in the front yard, Wang Dong stepped forward decisively and said, "Dear neighbors, Uncle Chen, who has just been elected as the head of our courtyard, has something to tell you. Please be quiet..."

To show his sincerity, despite his inconvenient legs and feet, Chen Dehui still stood up from the chair with a cane: "Neighbors..."

"Thank you all for your support and trust in choosing me as the new uncle of Siheyuan."

"I will definitely not let you down and be a good uncle in the future."

“Strive to be fair and just…”

"Now that I have become the head of the courtyard, I have an idea that needs everyone to vote on..."

"It was really troublesome for the courtyard to hold a general meeting from time to time."

"Not only does it waste time, it also affects everyone's rest."

"There are even many full-faculty meetings that are meaningless."

"My suggestion is that in the future, the courtyard will no longer hold general meetings casually. If there is a conflict between neighbors, they can directly go to the three uncles in the courtyard to resolve it."

"If anyone is dissatisfied with a certain uncle's handling opinion, they can bring the three of us together to discuss it."

"If you're still not satisfied, go find the street."

"If we really want to hold a general meeting of the whole courtyard to solve the problem, we must not only obtain the consent of the parties involved, but also the consent of more than half of the residents in the courtyard."

"If there is a major event that requires a full hospital meeting, it can only be held after consultation with the three elders."

"No one, including me, can convene a meeting of the whole institute without authorization and waste everyone's time."

"If you agree, please raise your hands..."

"Old Chen..."

Yi Zhonghai was very unhappy after losing his position as the uncle. He was frowning and analyzing what went wrong in the voting just now.

When I heard Chen Dehui propose to reduce the frequency of general meetings in the future and that if we want to hold one, we have to obtain the consent of the three uncles and most of the residents, I felt unhappy.

If there is no general meeting of the whole courtyard, then what is the point of the courtyard master he selected with great effort? He immediately stood up to refute.

"Wouldn't it be too much trouble to do this?"

"Since the residents have chosen us to be the masters of the courtyard, they must trust us. We can decide whether to hold a general meeting of the courtyard or not. I don't think it is necessary to obtain the consent of more than half of the residents in the courtyard." (End of this chapter)
