Chapter 363 365. Discussion (2)
After eating the delicious rice with chicken mushroom oil, Ao Muyang took the Queen Flower to send Lu Zhizi back to school.
On the way home, he met Ao Zhiyi, or rather, Ao Zhiyi was waiting for him at the door of his house. When he saw him, he greeted him with a smile: "Yangzi, are you going to school?"
Ao Muyang said: "Yes, village chief, what's the matter?"
He felt it was very strange. With Ao Zhiyi's temperament, if there was anything, he should go to someone's house before dinner and eat for free. This time he went to him after dinner, which was a bit abnormal.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, and Ao Muyang immediately became alert.
Ao Zhiyi's appearance was also very abnormal, smiling, kind-hearted, holding a gift bag in his hand, as if he was an old fox holding a lollipop and trying to coax a little white rabbit.
Ao Zhiyi laughed and said, "Come in first, come in first, I have something to tell you."
Ao Muyang took him in, and did not serve him tea. He asked directly, "What's the matter, village chief?"
Ao Zhiyi put down the gift bag, cleared his throat and said, "Doesn't your second uncle work in the Magic City? Look, he got me two bottles of good wine for the New Year. Private wine produced in Maotai Town, aged for ten years, which is not available on the market. You can only get it by using connections."
He opened the gift bag to reveal two bottles of antique wine. The bottles were in the shape of pottery jars, with a retro shape. There were no labels, only some words engraved during the firing process.
Ao Muyang curled his lips secretly. What private aged wine from Maotai Town? He didn't know how many such wines he had seen in Kyoto. The value was very small, and most of the value was in the wine bottle. Who knows what kind of mess the wine inside was.
However, if you bring gifts to someone's house, you are a guest. He did not make any random comments, but simply smiled and said, "Village chief, tell me what's going on. You didn't send anything when my parents died. I'm afraid there is something important about sending wine today?"
After hearing this, Ao Zhiyi's old face showed a heavy look: "Alas, Yangzi, don't bring up the past. I still don't dare to think about your parents' affairs and some things in our village. As a village party secretary, the pressure is very high."
When the word "village party secretary" came out, Ao Muyang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Village chief, you are here for our village's election, right?"
Time flies, and it is already April. According to the "Organization Law of Village Committees of the People's Republic of China", each term of the village committee is three years, and the term of office should be held in time after the expiration of the term. The last term was April three years ago.
The term of office of the village committee is not like that of high-level organizations. There is uncertainty in this time, because according to the law, the election time can be advanced or postponed for special reasons. In this way, no matter it is advanced or postponed, each term is three years. If there are many times, the time of the election will be different for the previous and subsequent terms.
Ao Zhiyi smiled and said, "Yes, that's why. I have been leading our village for 38 years. I have been the village party secretary and village head. I have been doing both positions. I am tired of doing them all these years."
He was promoted to a village cadre in the middle of his career. The last village party secretary had an accident at sea. The organization temporarily promoted him.
Longtou Village is a poor village with little money. It is meaningless to be a village cadre. Instead, you have to mediate the gossips of the neighbors. Therefore, no one ran for election with him in previous years. They just voted for him as a formality.
Even the villagers were unwilling to take responsibility. No one wanted to be the village director, that is, the village head, because the village had a low sense of existence. Ao Zhiyi himself held both positions and no one cared.
Ao Muyang looked at him with a smile, and said, "Village chief, you are not here for no reason. Are you here to canvass for votes with me today?"
Ao Zhiyi waved his hand: "No, I am here to discuss with you. You see, the second master is getting old, and it is time to find a successor. To be honest, Yangzi, you are suitable. You are energetic and capable, and you have the ability and skills, but you are too young. It may be unreliable for our superiors to directly take the position of leader."
"This is what I think. This year I will continue to be the village party secretary, and the position of village director will be handed over to you. You will start from the position of village director. You can help me and I will build a platform for you, and we will lead the development of our village together. How about it?"
He understood what Ao Muyang was thinking, so he said his purpose in one breath.
Ao Muyang thought that he came to persuade him to canvass for him, and not to interfere with his high position as village party secretary and village director. After all, since he returned to the village, he has been very popular in the village. Those who are not blind or stupid know that he is going to make trouble.
As a result, he was wrong. Ao Zhiyi actually came to discuss with him about assigning him a position.
China's system is that the party leads the people. In some higher-level organizations, because senior party officials hold personnel power, they are often the top leaders in the unit.
After a quick thought, Ao Muyang laughed: "Let's wait until the village election meeting and let our fellow villagers decide. Our words don't count, right?"
Ao Zhiyi laughed again and said: "Yes, yes, but I came to let you know. Let's cooperate at that time and be prepared in advance, right?"
Ao Muyang didn't say much, but he acquiesced to Ao Zhiyi's meaning.
He had already prepared for the election, and his goal was the village head. The village party secretary was not in his plan from the beginning.
According to the national party constitution, the village party secretary shall be elected by the party member meeting of the branch first, and then the branch committee shall elect the village branch secretary and deputy secretary, and then report to the higher-level party organization for approval.
In addition, under special circumstances, this position can also be directly appointed by the township party committee.
Strictly speaking, the village party secretary must be a party member. Ao Muyang does not meet this condition. He has never joined the party, so he naturally cannot be the village party secretary.
However, the grassroots situation in rural areas is complicated. Who has the final say in a village still depends on the people's sentiments. The village party secretaries of some villages are not party members. This kind of thing happens everywhere. If no one exposes it, it will not be a big deal.
Ao Muyang wants to be the village chief and want to lead Longtou Village, but it is not to make personal gains from the village, but because he has been in Beijing and has seen big scenes, and he feels uncomfortable with the backwardness of the village today.
In addition, he has the ability of Jindan, and needs a larger platform to support him to display it, so he wants to be the village chief both publicly and privately.
