After a night of fighting, the rescue workers successively "conquered" five "strongholds" and safely evacuated more than 300 villagers. The first battle was a victory. However, the bad weather, coupled with the high-intensity work, had destroyed the public security police officers, who usually lived like princes, until they were beyond recognition. Some of them had frostbite on their hands, some had chapped lips, some had purple ears, and some even collapsed from exhaustion. If it wasn't for Zhang Zhiyuan personally supervising the battle, these "soldiers" would have long abandoned their armors.
There was only one village left, and it was also the most difficult "stronghold". Not to mention the steep slope, there were many twists and turns. The most dangerous thing was that on one side was a bottomless abyss. The road looked like it was hanging on a cliff.
No matter how difficult it was, they had to overcome it! This was the death order Zhang Zhiyuan gave to Luo Zhiqing. Luo Zhiqing's voice was hoarse from shouting for the whole night. He was overloaded and exhausted. However, this matter concerned the interests of the people and had risen to a political level. Luo Zhiqing once again returned to the frontline to command.
Zhang Zhiyuan sat in the car with his eyes closed. He was thinking about how to settle the refugees. Although the exact number of the villages had not been reported, Guiyu Village alone had more than 300 people. A conservative estimate would be that there were at least 500 refugees that needed to be settled.
If it was summer, they could be temporarily placed in tents. However, it was winter now, and they were about to enter the ninth day. Living in school was not a long-term solution. In addition, it was less than a month before the New Year. How to let the people have a peaceful and peaceful New Year was indeed a big problem.
There was also the post-disaster reconstruction work. This was a huge project. With the meager foundation of the county, there was not much left after the daily expenses. If they invested all their money on this, other work would have to be put aside, not to mention development. The sudden disaster had completely disrupted Zhang Zhiyuan's plan.
While he was deep in thought, someone knocked on the window. He opened his eyes and saw Miao Yufei. He quickly got out of the car and asked, "How is it?"
Miao Yufei lowered his head and sighed. "Other than the school and a farmer's house, all the houses in the Shi Clan village have collapsed. Also, one person died."
Hearing such tragic news, Zhang Zhiyuan's face twitched slightly. He looked into the distance and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he asked, "What about the other villagers? Have they been safely relocated?"
"They've all settled down at school, and their emotions are relatively stable. This is all thanks to Minister Lu," Miao Yufei said.
"Minister Lu? Which Minister Lu? "Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly turned around and asked.
"Minister Lu Yiwei."
Zhang Zhiyuan was astonished. He had been missing for a day and a night, yet he had found himself in this ravine. What was even more inconceivable was what he was doing here? Before Zhang Zhiyuan could ask, Miao Yufei took the initiative to say, "Director Shi Xiaoman of the County party committee office is from this village. She is also in the village."
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to understand something and stopped asking. He said, "You don't have to worry about this anymore. Go back to the village immediately. On one hand, do the ideological work for the people affected by the disaster. On the other hand, quickly think about how to settle them. Come up with a practical solution and report it to me as soon as possible."
"Alright, I'll get it done right away." Miao Yufei was secretly delighted. Zhang Zhiyuan also handed over the village head's affairs to him. It seemed that there was no escape for him to be promoted to the party committee secretary. After being a stool for a lifetime, he finally had the day to make a name for himself. Others were cursing the blizzard, but he was very grateful. If not for this, how could he have made a name for himself?
Just as he was about to leave, a car quickly drove over and stopped in front of Zhang Zhiyuan's car. Li Jianwei, the village head of Guiyu Village, got out of the car worriedly and timidly walked up to Zhang Zhiyuan. He lowered his head and apologized, "Secretary Zhang, I'm late."
Zhang Zhiyuan's heart was itching with hatred. If it were not in front of so many people, he would have slapped him in the face long ago. He snorted and said coldly, "You still know to come back?"
After all, Li Jianwei had been in the officialdom for many years. Moreover, he came from the government office, so he was very clear about the temperament of the leaders. If he quibbled and refuted at this time, it would definitely anger the other party and make some irrational decisions. If he chose to remain silent and let the other party scold him, he would take some remedial measures when the anger subsided. Naturally, the transition would be smooth. Therefore, he buried his head even lower and listened to Zhang Zhiyuan's scolding.
Zhang Zhiyuan had suppressed a bellyful of anger and had not slept for a night. He had long wanted to find someone to vent his anger on. Li Jianwei really came at the right time. He pointed at his nose and scolded, "Li Jianwei, when I asked you to work in Guiyu Village, how did you guarantee it? It's snowing so heavily, but you didn't stick to the front line. Instead, you abandoned the interests and safety of the people and went outside to indulge in debauchery. Are you worthy of the organization's trust in you? Are you worthy of your conscience? You are neglecting your duty. It's a serious dereliction of duty. "
The rescue team, who had been working all night, was listless, hungry, and cold. When they saw the secretary of the County party committee scolding someone, they suddenly became spirited and stopped to watch.
Miao Yufei could have gone back after receiving the task, but how could he miss such a wonderful show? In addition, Li Jianwei was promoted by Zhang Zhiyuan after all. If he used some flowery words to bluff his way through, would what Zhang Zhiyuan said last night still count? Therefore, he quietly stood aside and waited for the results.
Li Jianwei was like a child who had done something wrong. He choked and said, "Secretary Zhang, I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't have left my post without permission at this time. But my mother suddenly became seriously ill and was hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage. She fainted several times and almost died. As the eldest son of the family, I'm ashamed to face my mother if I don't show my filial piety for a few days. But national affairs are more important than family affairs. I'm willing to accept any punishment. "
"Oh." Hearing Li Jianwei's miserable description, Zhang Zhiyuan's anger dissipated. He paused for a moment and said, "Let's put this matter aside first. Go back and help Miao Yufei settle down the victims."
"Okay, I'll go now!" After saying that, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and bowed deeply to Zhang Zhiyuan. He turned around and called Miao Yufei to get in the car.
Miao Yufei watched the whole process in disbelief. Li Jianwei's poor acting skills had easily deceived Zhang Zhiyuan. This was too f * cking amazing. Li Jianwei's mother was indeed alive and well. She had been living with his sister in Jiangdong for a long time. Whether it was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage or not, only God knew. However, Li Jianwei was indeed clever. He had used Zhang Zhiyuan's sympathy to escape the disaster.
At noon, the rescue team finally got through the lifeline and arrived at the Shi Family Village, which was the most severely affected. When Lu Yiwei and Zhang Zhiyuan met, they didn't know whether they should be sad or happy. They seemed to have a lot to say, but they didn't know where to start.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't say much. He carefully checked the situation of the Shi Family Village and made an emotional speech to the victims. He asked Luo Zhiqing to stay and take charge of the relocation. He dragged his tired body back to the county town to prepare for the meeting. Before leaving, he asked Lu Yiwei, "Do you have a car? If you don't, you can take my car! "
Lu Yiwei's heart warmed up. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Secretary Zhang, it's okay."
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "You can also attend the meeting in the afternoon." After that, he left in his car.
When Lu Yiwei returned home, it was already past three in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the house, he was scolded by his parents. However, he couldn't care less about their nagging. As he went upstairs, he said, "Mom, is there anything to eat at home? I'm starving. I'll come immediately after I take a shower and change my clothes. "
Although Liu Cuilan was scolding him, she felt sorry for her son. She rushed into the kitchen to cook dumplings for him.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Lu Yiwei wolfed down the dumplings. Liu Cuilan saw this and said with concern, "Eat slowly. No one is fighting with you." Lu Weiguo sat aside and kept smoking.
After a while, Lu Weiguo finally spoke, "Where the hell did you go last night? Do you know that your mom and I were worried for the whole night? If I was a few years younger, I would definitely beat you up. "
It was a serious topic, but when Lu Yiwei heard that his father wanted to beat him, he suddenly spat out the dumpling he was eating into the bowl and laughed. He laughed and said, "Dad, you haven't beaten me for a long time. Now that I think about it, I miss it. Haha."
Lu Weiguo lost his mood after being teased by Lu Yiwei. He picked up the broom and pretended to hit his back. He said with a straight face, "You think I won't beat you up now that you've grown up? Let me tell you, I will still hit you! "
"Enough!" Liu Cuilan snatched the broom from Lu Weiguo's hand and grumbled, "You're already a grandfather. Do you think Yiwei can't beat you? Don't disturb him. Look at how hungry he is. If you have nothing to do, go and play Mahjong. Your friends are already rushing you over the phone."
Lu Weiguo sat there angrily and pointed at the plate. He said to Liu Cuilan, "Can't you see that Yiwei has finished eating? Go and get it! "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei's eyes couldn't help tearing up. Be it when he was frustrated in his career or when he was suffering emotional setbacks, only his parents were by his side. It was said that a father's and mother's love was selfless. They didn't care if you were a powerful official or rich. They only wished for you to be healthy, have a happy family, and have a happy marriage.
However, a grown up child was like an eagle that had left its nest. They were used to being free and living on their own. They used work as an excuse to ignore their parents' concern. What were parents most afraid of? They were most afraid of seeing you less and less at home. The signs of life were disappearing bit by bit, the familiar smell was fading, and the number of times you came home decreased. Once you returned home, you would be extremely busy and unhappy. Perhaps, this is the undisguised love for you, unstintingly love.
Liu Cuilan saw Lu Yiwei standing there in a daze and suddenly became nervous. She quickly asked, "Yiwei, what's wrong? Are the dumplings that mom made not good? "
Lu Weiguo also became alert. He thought that his words were too harsh. He said regretfully, "Son, I didn't mean anything else. I'm just worried about you. Alright, eat up." After that, he left the house with his hands behind his back.
