Chapter 226 Endless Sorrow
Night gradually fell, but the whole division bridge was brightly lit on both sides. There were no electric lights. The power supply situation in Dapu County was originally very tight. Power outages in the county were commonplace, not to mention the villages below, all of which were torches. This is the habit of people living in the mountains. Walking at night On the road, torches will be used for lighting. Although electric lights are available in every household now, they have not been lit several times a year round. Only during the Spring Festival will there be the situation of thousands of lights.
The huge scene made the members of the Standing Committee present a little stunned. So many people almost surrounded both sides of the bridge. The mountains seemed to be full of torches, illuminating the whole sky. This situation also surprised Yu Fan. There seemed to be more and more people. This situation was at least more than just now. Double it, but it's true. Who doesn't have children? They are good to their children, and they are more grateful to them than to themselves.
" Director Lu, immediately send more police to maintain order on both sides." When there are many people, it is often easier to get excited. Yu Fan didn't want anything to happen at this time [***]. He looked at Chang Da, the office director beside him, and said, "Lao Chang, let people immediately connect the broadcasts on both sides. I want to talk to the villagers." Yu Fan's words made the other members of the Standing Committee think of something, and they immediately became worried.
In the distance, there are torches approaching here from time to time, and more and more people are gathered here. People in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages tend to rely on here. Three years is not long, but when every parent sends their children to the teacher, they see Mr. Xu, an elder in his seventies is so old. They also went to the mountains to teach their children, which made them grateful. No matter how difficult life is, which parent does not want his children to learn more knowledge?
The sky was completely dark, and bonfires were raised on both sides of the Shiqiao. The sad song was also floating in the mountain stream. This is a kind of sadness unique to the death of relatives in the mountain people. Yu Fan couldn't understand the meaning of these songs, but he could understand the sadness in the song. The villagers here not only It is to regard Mr. Xu, a 70-year-old man, as his relative and an elder,
The temporary broadcast was quickly installed with the assistance of the staff of Yeshan Township, but when Changda notified Yu Fan, he didn't know what to say. On such a night, it's better let the villagers release their missing for Mr. Xu, the elor.
A special standing committee was held in the new school in Niujiao Village just a few hours ago. This was a very special standing committee. The discussion was just an ordinary 70-year-old man's question. There was no previous standing committee intrigue, but Yu Fan's solemn narration and exposure to the Standing Committee. The faint sadness between,
Almost no discussion was passed. The Standing Committee calmly passed the agenda for holding a memorial service for Mr. Xu. This work has a unified deployment of the county party committee. A memorial service preparation group has been set up, with Yu Fan as the leader in person, and other members of the standing committee members of the preparatory group. However, because there are still a lot of things to do in the county, this At present, there are only two members of the working group, Yu Fan and Chang Da, the director of the county party committee office. After the meeting of the standing committee, Yu Fan also asked them to return to the county party committee.
Before leaving, Chu Qin also looked at Yu Fan with a worried face. Of course, Yu Fan knew what she wanted to say, but just looked at her and nodded. The others left, including the county education director who made Yu Fan scold him fiercely, but Lu Da, the director of the public security bureau, did not dare to leave. Here,
The people in Dapu County are strong, especially the young men in the mountains. They are very impulsive. In case of a mistake in Secretary Yu, he, the director of the public security bureau, can be regarded as a good job.
Lu Da's stay was also convenient for Yu Fan. Now there are more and more villagers gatherings, and the mountain roads in the mountains are very difficult to walk. In case of any mistakes, it will be difficult to end the matter. For this matter, Yu Fan also specially found the secretary of Yeshan Township, the head of the township and Bi Jun to discuss with them. Of course, Luda, as the leader of the county, also participated in this matter.
"Secretary Cui, look at the current situation. What should we do? With so many people gathered together, the wind on the mountain is strong, and the cold is heavier in the middle of the night. Do you think you can find a way to send some food to the villagers, or make ginger soup." Looking at everyone, Yu Fan also said his own thoughts,
This made Cui Hanming a little embarrassed to hear this. He looked at Yu Fan and said, "Secretary Yu, there are not too many questions about food and ginger soup. The villagers on the side of the bridge are still easy to do. The key is what to do with the villagers on the other side of the bridge. Now no one dares to leave the bridge. I'm afraid that when I go up the mountain, the sky It's already lit up."
Bi Jun also nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Yu, the custom here is like this. As long as a relative passes away, the people in the village will keep a vigil for him. Even if we persuade them to go back in the past, it is useless. In the mountains, everyone often respects customs and habits more than anything else."
Yu Fan nodded after listening, and after thinking for a long time, he looked at Bi Jun and said, "Comrade Bi Jun, tell me honestly whether this cable bridge is really so dangerous that it can't leave anymore." This made Bi Jun hesitate for a while, but after a while, he still said firmly, "Secretary Yu, this bridge is not as dangerous as it is said. It's just that such a thing just happened on the bridge. Everyone was very afraid, so it became like this. However, as long as you wait for a period of time, everyone's heart If you get used to it, you will still walk from the bridge. After all, from the other side of the mountain to this side, only from the bridge is the closest distance.
With a soft voice, Yu Fan also nodded and said, "Well, since you are so sure, after that thing is done, you and I will be responsible for transporting it to the opposite side. We can't make the villagers sad and hurt their health at this time." As soon as this was said, Lu Da, the director of the Public Security Bureau beside him, immediately shouted, "This can't be done, Secretary Yu, we are going to send it. How can you take risks in person?"
Cui Hanming and the township head Huang Lin also stood up and said anxiously, "Yes, Secretary Yu, you can't take this risk. Let's send it." Yu Fan's identity, if there is any accident here, then they should not say anything about the future. Even this is very uneasy,
However, Yu Fan was not persuaded by them. Instead, he looked at Bi Jun, who seemed to be restless and said with a smile, "Deputy head of the township, I ask you again, are you sure that this bridge is safe?" Bi Jun doesn't want Yu Fan to take this risk now, but when he heard Yu Fan's words, he still insisted, "Secretary Yu, this bridge is absolutely safe. At the beginning of this year, I replaced the boards on it with several other villagers, but...
Yu Fan knew what Bi Jun wanted to say behind him, so he waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's absolutely safe. Go and prepare something." Seeing what they wanted to say, Yu Fan said categorically, "Mr. Xu, an old man in his seventies, has been walking back and forth on this bridge for three years. Don't I even have the courage at such a young age? If I look at the villagers on the opposite side getting cold there and I stay here and do nothing, then what am I doing here?"
Cui Hanming and Huang Lin also looked at each other helplessly at this time. Secretary Yu's words were so resolute. How could he persuade him, but Lu Da beside him said loudly, "No, Secretary Yu, you can't take this risk. If something happens to you, how can I ask the head of Chu and the county leader? The director said, I think I'd better go.
Waving his hand, Yu Fan looked at him and smiled, "You old Lu, didn't you hear what the deputy township head of Bi said? This bridge is absolutely safe. What can I do?" Lu Da also looked at Bi Jun beside him with a little hatred at this time, but Bi Jun was not afraid of him. He could absolutely guarantee the safety of the iron cable bridge,
"That won't work, Secretary Yu. Even if you want to go, you want me to follow you." Lu Da didn't dare to take this risk. For him, Yu Fan's safety is more important than anything else.
Yu Fan naturally knows what Lu Da is thinking. He smiled and said, "Yes, this proves that you, the director of the public security bureau, are still good. You are not the kind of person who is weak when he encounters difficulties, hehe." He turned his head and looked at Bi Jun and said with a smile, "But this question depends on Comrade Bi Jun's opinion. Whether he can go to so many people can be counted."
Hearing this, Bi Jun said without hesitation, "No question, Secretary Yu, this bridge is strong, and neither of them has asked the question." Cui Hanming and Huang Lin, who said this, strangle his heart. What does it mean that no one of them asked the question again? Isn't it to let them go up too?
However, since there are these words, Secretary Cui Hanming also immediately said, "That's the best. We can just help. After all, there are so many things, and it's easier to take more with more people." Although the reaction was very fast, the words trembled a little, and Yu Fan also smiled secretly, "You don't have to go. You still have to take command of the affairs here."
Cui Hanming also gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "Secretary Yu, you have passed. How can we stay here? Besides, the matter here is relatively simple, and the people below can do it completely. You'd better let us go there with you. Besides, Vice President Bi also said that this bridge doesn't think there is no Any questions."
