As for the homeroom teacher, Li Ruolan, she hoped to see more activists in the class who wanted to be the class monitor. Proper competition could promote the growth of these children. Even if they failed, they would work harder in other positions in the future to get closer to the position they wanted.
That's why Li Ruolan praised the kids so hard in the beginning. She hoped that they could feel the honor of being class leaders. She hoped that during the election later, there would be more kids fighting to be the class leader!
Ten minutes later, the candidates for the class monitor went on stage one by one to give a speech. The eager expressions of the children made Teacher Li feel gratified.
There were still many children who were willing to participate in the election of the class monitor. Needless to say, super activists like Cao Ruolin were one of them.
There were also a few children whose eyes were filled with eagerness that Li Ruolan caught. However, when they raised their hands, they hesitated, worried that they would lose face if they failed to compete … Fortunately, Li Ruolan walked down and encouraged them to go to the podium.
The last candidate to give a speech on the podium, Wang Leilei, was still very nervous. His voice was stuttering as he said, "I, I, I want to be the class monitor. It's, it's, it's, it's because my dad wants me to be the class monitor …"
The candidates just now all had their own subjective wishes, but when it came to Wang Leilei, it was actually his parents' instructions!
His speech made the children below the stage burst into laughter. A few mischievous children, like Chen Yuxuan, winked at his deskmate and posed as if Wang Leilei was nervous. Then, the two of them beamed with joy and laughed at Wang Leilei on stage.
"Everyone, please be quiet. We want to give Wang Leilei a round of applause because he has the courage to stand on this podium. As a teacher, I also hope that you have the courage to stand on stage!" Li Ruolan saw that everyone's laughter made Wang Leilei even more embarrassed. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in his chest. She had no choice but to come out and maintain order.
Something's not right!
It seems like there's one person missing?
Li Ruolan couldn't help but turn her head to look at the seat in the middle. At the back of the classroom, Xi Xi was sitting obediently in her seat, watching the students' speeches with great interest.
"Why isn't she running?" Li Ruolan couldn't help but frown.
In fact, Li Ruolan had hoped that Xi Xi would participate in the election. This child was very obedient, and her words and actions were more generous. She also had good grades. In Li Ruolan's heart, she was the best candidate for the class monitor!
So, after Wang Leilei stated his original intention of becoming the class president, Li Ruolan glanced at Xi Xi again and raised her voice to ask if anyone else wanted to run for the position of class president.
However, Xi Xi was still watching the show calmly. Just like the other children, she was smiling with her eyes curved, as if she was already out of it.
On the other hand, the other candidates were anxious, especially Cao Ruolin, who was the first to give a speech. She looked at the teacher on the stage anxiously for a while, and then looked around at the students in the class.
She seemed to be worried that more people would come to compete with her.
Fortunately, Xi Xi was still unmoved by the teacher's words. She didn't even know if the teacher's words were directed at her or if she was just sitting in her seat and watching curiously.
Li Ruolan was at her wit's end. She wrote down the names of the children who had just gone on stage on the blackboard. Then, she asked each child to take out a blank piece of paper and write down the name of their favorite class monitor. "… I'll have to trouble the students sitting at the back of each group to help me collect the votes."
In the end, she didn't force her will on Xi Xi. Li Ruolan still wanted this class committee election to be as democratic as possible.
…
It was time to vote!
Xi Xi carefully tore out a blank piece of paper from her draft book.
"Xi Xi, can you give me one?" Lu Xiaoyu, who was next to Xi Xi, flipped through her draft book for a long time but couldn't find a blank piece of paper. "I don't have any left. I'll go home and get it, then I'll return it to you!"
Xi Xi generously handed the piece of paper she had just torn out to Lu Xiaoyu. She giggled and said, "You don't have to return it!"
This conversation of borrowing stationery wasn't considered whispering in class. After all, it was impossible to not say a word for the entire class. It was fine as long as they didn't whisper anything unrelated to the class!
Xi Xi tore out another piece of paper. At this time, she began to think about which student to choose as the new class monitor.
There were so many students who went on stage to give a speech, but only a few left a deep impression on Xi Xi. Among them were the serious Cao Ruolin and the serious Wang Leilei.
Xi Xi didn't want to choose Cao Ruolin. In the end, her attention fell on Wang Leilei's name.
"Wang Leilei? Wang Leilei … Okay! " Xi Xi preferred to follow the guidance of her heart. Now, only Wang Leilei's name was left in her mind. Although she didn't think about why she chose Wang Leilei, since she already knew it was him in her mind, the little girl still carefully wrote down Wang Leilei's name stroke by stroke on her paper.
…
When it came to the counting of votes, Xi Xi watched with great interest as a classmate counted the votes while Teacher Li Ruolan marked the names of each candidate.
"Cao Ruolin … Du Yuqian … Jiang Chen …"
The results of the counting were a bit surprising. There were so many candidates, but they all received relatively average votes. There was no one who was particularly outstanding!
But there was one who received very little votes. The rather miserable Wang Leilei only received two votes. It was unknown if the other vote was for himself.
Except for Wang Leilei, the votes of the other candidates were relatively average. They all received around five, six, or seven votes. Cao Ruolin received nine votes. Compared to the total number of people in the class, the number of votes she received was definitely not a lot!
But compared to the other candidates, Cao Ruolin actually won!
This result was unexpected by many students!
Cao Ruolin was indeed not very popular in the class!
However, this was also because there were too many candidates who had split their votes evenly. Which of those candidates did not have a few good friends? But when the votes were divided, Cao Ruolin became the big winner.
If there were only two candidates, Cao Ruolin's votes would probably still be the same. As for the remaining votes, they could completely crush her!
But it was useless to say this now. According to the rules, the one with the highest number of votes was the class leader!
Cao Ruolin was pleasantly surprised. She pushed up her glasses and looked at the final results on the blackboard in disbelief. When she saw that she received so few votes, she thought she was done for. She didn't expect to win!
"Let us congratulate Cao Ruolin for becoming our class leader for this semester! I hope you can continue to work hard in the coming semester … "Li Ruolan announced with a smile.
Her view of Cao Ruolin was not as extreme as the other children. She felt that Cao Ruolin was very cooperative with the teacher. It was easy to offend people as the class leader. Wasn't this normal?
…
"You chose Wang Leilei!" On the car back, Xi Xi and Lan Xin chatted in the back about the interesting and fresh class leader election. Lan Xin shouted, "I chose Du Yuqian. She is my deskmate! Why didn't you choose Du Yuqian? Now Cao Ruolin is the class leader! "
"Hee hee, I don't know! But I think it's very interesting that Wang Leilei said that his papa wants him to be the class leader! "Xi Xi giggled.
"So you choose whoever you think is interesting?" Yang Yi smiled and added.
"Yes, papa, isn't it like this?" Xi Xi asked in confusion. Looking at her carefree appearance, it seemed that she really didn't care about the class leader election.
"It's okay, papa is just saying." Yang Yi smiled, "You are the one who voted. You have the right to vote for anyone."
Lan Xin ignored this boring class leader. At this moment, she proudly said, "But, but, Xi Xi, let me tell you, I voted for you, and then I also asked my deskmate to vote for you."
"Eh? Didn't you say that Xi Xi didn't run to be the class leader? "Yang Yi listened to their interesting conversation and couldn't help but ask.
"No, Xi Xi didn't go to be the class leader. She went to be the literature and art committee member!" Lan Xin rushed to answer.
Xi Xi reached out to hug her father's chair, stretched out her small head, and explained to her father in a somewhat raised voice, "Teacher Li said that I can dance and sing, so I can be the literature and art committee member!"
"Then how many votes did you get?" Yang Yi asked curiously.
"I got 57 votes!" Xi Xi happily said, "PaPa, many students voted for me."
After all, Xi Xi was popular!
Lan Xin pulled Xi Xi and couldn't wait to take credit, "Xi Xi, I voted for you the most!"
Where did the most come from? Didn't everyone have one vote? This Lan Xin …
But Xi Xi was in high spirits and didn't think too much. She sweetly pulled Lan Xin and smiled, "Hee hee, thank you, Xin Er!"
"Then who ran for literature and art committee member with you?" Yang Yi heard that his daughter got 57 votes, which meant that most of the students in the class voted for Xi Xi, while her opponent only had a few votes.
Yang Yi was very curious, who was so tragic?
"Wang Leilei!" Lan Xin and Xi Xi responded one after another.
