December 22, 1985, the winter solstice.

With snowflakes dancing outside the window, all the male members of the Huangling Team in Fengwopu Village, Jianshan Township, elected their new captain in a chaotic atmosphere.

The new captain is very young, twenty years old this year, Jiang Yu, a retired soldier who just returned from demobilization two months ago.

At this time, the new captain was sitting at the end of a worn-out bench in the corner of the team headquarters, with a confused look on his face.

His confusion was not because he was chosen as captain, but because he was reborn.

Originally, he was a small owner of a small-scale processing factory. He was a kind-hearted person who liked to make friends and so on. He usually had something to drink.

It was not going to be the twelfth lunar month soon. My friend's house was killing a pig and he was invited to eat the meat. He drank a few more cups of the contents.

When we drove home, it was already dark and it was snowing heavily.

Just a few minutes ago, while making a turn, the car's tires skidded, and he watched helplessly as the car rushed into a ditch more than ten meters deep...

Drinking and driving kills people!

He thought he had really passed away this time, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in a room full of people.

After feeling happy that he was still alive, he realized that something was wrong with the environment.

It was obvious that his car fell into a ditch, but why would Mao himself appear in a house?

The house is very old, and the windows are two small windows that have not been seen for a long time, inlaid with one-foot-square glass.

A dilapidated wooden door with no trace of paint on it, sand-covered walls and a pure earth floor.

Although the house is dilapidated, it is still quite large, about the length of five rooms, with wooden pillars supporting it in the middle.

The room was crowded with people sitting and standing, about one hundred and eighty people, including men, women, old and young.

The men all wore long-haired dog-skin hats, while the women all wore scarves, and the clothes they wore seemed to have been picked out of rags.

After the initial confusion, Jiang Yu finally understood that he was reborn, but now he still doesn't know which year he was reborn.

Looking at the clothes of the people around me, I guess they must have been reborn in the 1980s.

"Why is there no one competing for the captaincy this year? Don't you usually grab my head every year?" asked a young man on Jiang Yu's left.

This young man is...Ma Guoguang!

Seeing Ma Guoguang, Jiang Yu suspected that he had seen a ghost in the daytime. This guy got sick and passed away when he was in his forties, and he even went to carry his coffin.

"Ha! The land was contracted last year, and no one will have to take care of it from now on. Is it still interesting to be the captain like a bare commander?" someone answered.

"Yes! The team's property should be sold and divided. The captain has nothing to do. The team will give you two hundred yuan a year. What will you do instead?"

"Why don't you do it? Won't the brigade pay back 200 yuan a year?"

"Haha! Do you really think you have nothing to do? Do you have to do it to collect agricultural taxes? You have to take care of family planning, and you have to mediate conflicts between families. Can you do it?" A man named Yang Wan answered this man's question.

Ask questions.

The person who asked the question suddenly understood and shook his head like a rattle: "These are all things that offend people, I won't do them!"

If nothing else, just collecting agricultural taxes and family planning is not something that is easy to do. This is something that really offends people.

"That's not it, so not only is there no one to compete for this year's captaincy, there's no one to even sign up for what they want to do, so we decided to have everyone nominate and vote."

At this time, Li Jinyou, the team custodian, coughed: "Everyone, be quiet. The voting has been completed just now. Our team has 122 people. Except for those who did not come, a total of 83 votes were received. Now we will count the votes."

, Yao Wenqing! You count the votes and I'll sing them."

Yao Wenqing is good at writing calligraphy, and the Spring Festival couplets with blessing characters posted on every house in the village during the New Year are all written by him. He is considered a cultural person in Huangling Village.

Yao Wenqing did not refuse, picked up the chalk and stood in front of a temporarily found fiberboard.

"Xiao Dongliang has one vote, Yang Jianshe has one vote, Jiang Yu has one vote..."

Li Jinyou read one, and Yao Wenqing wrote a name on the fiber board pretending to be a blackboard, and wrote the correct characters under the name.

"Jiang Yu has one vote, Yang Jianshe has one vote, Liu Jingyuan has one vote, Jiang Yu has one vote, and Jiang Yu has another vote."

Jiang Yu, who was still adapting to the environment, just watched the positive characters under his name growing faster than others. After a while, there were three or four more positive characters. In the end, he got forty-one votes.

Among the eighty-three valid votes, he got almost half of the votes, a full twenty votes more than the second place.

"Okay! Now the results are out, Jiang Yu! Congratulations on becoming the youngest captain in the history of Huangling Village, everyone applauds!"

There was sparse applause in the room.

Jiang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had just been reborn, and he had become the captain before he had figured out anything?

"Uncle Li! Isn't this captain good enough?"

From the explanation given by others just now, coupled with his own memories, he already knew that the position of captain was definitely not a piece of cake, but rather an offending job.

Now that he was reborn, he felt that he was not sure about becoming a rich man with the knowledge and experience accumulated in his head, but becoming a rich man in the countryside should not be a big problem.

Why should you be a captain if you live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life?

He has no interest in being a captain.

"No! This is everyone's choice. It was agreed by everyone at the beginning. Once you are chosen, you have to do it!" Li Jinyou said firmly.

This matter has been bothering me for a whole day. It was so hard to choose someone, how could I let him run away?

"Xiao Jiang! You just came back from the army. You are disciplined and knowledgeable, and you are also educated and courageous. You are the most suitable captain. Under your leadership, I believe that our Huangling Village will undergo earth-shaking changes."

Li Jinyou put several free high hats on Jiang Yu's head.

Bullshit! This is all taken care of, who can lead us to create glory?

This old thief wants him to put down this mess without even losing his face.

"That's right! Xiao Jiang is the most suitable person for this job. We all support you." Yao Wenqing followed suit.

Then a few others echoed.

"Haha! Second uncle! Don't put a high hat on me. It's not impossible for me to be the captain of this thankless team, but I want to know how much money our team has now? Everyone is here, so you might as well tell me,

Let me weigh it too."

Li Jinyou hesitated: "To be honest, our team really doesn't have much money now. It's just the eight houses in the team headquarters and the courtyard of the team headquarters. If we have nothing, these eight houses were almost sold. Our team still owes credit.

It’s fifteen hundred yuan.”

"Hold the grass! Not only do you not have a penny of wealth, but you also have a famine of more than a thousand yuan. No wonder no one wants to be this captain, second uncle! I think I am still young and have no experience in this area. You should hire someone else."

Be smart!"

When Jiang Yu heard this, he couldn't even accept it. Even if you don't have a penny in cash, you still owe money to the credit union! If he accepted it, wouldn't he be looking for trouble?

"Old nephew! You are chosen because of the trust that the villagers have in you. You must not let the villagers' hearts fall into pieces!"

"That's right! A man can't leave without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head. Even if household quotas are now guaranteed, there still has to be someone in charge, otherwise it won't be a dirty business! Xiaojiang! Just do it."

"Can you let me think about it for a few days?" Facing the eager eyes of many people, Jiang Yu had no choice but to delay for two days before speaking.

After all, he had just been reborn, and he needed to have a detailed understanding of the current environment.

"Okay! You can think about it for a few days and just send us a letter before New Year's Day."
Chapter completed!
