Chapter 228 Reflection after grief

The memorial service was grand, at least for Dapu County. All the standing committee members of the county came to participate in the memorial service, and the main leaders of other towns also passed by. For a time, Niujiao Village seemed to have become a gathering place for all the leaders of Dapu County, with big cars and small cars coming and going, which is also the village here. The people couldn't help but panic when they saw so many big people appear for the first time,

The old man's children arrived in the afternoon. After receiving the instructions from Yu Fan, Huang Lin, the township head of Yeshan Township, discussed with the deputy township head Bi Jun. In Yeshan Township, only Bi Jun knew the old man's address and contact information in the provincial capital. Before this incident happened, who would pay attention to a general Where's the old man?

The county's TV stations and newspapers reported on this matter for a long time, which made the matter noisy in the whole county. Many people spontaneously came to Niujiao Village to see the elderly off because of gratitude. Among them, there was a group of people who even Yu Fan didn't expect, which moved him very much.

The old man had a son and a daughter. After receiving the notice from Yeshan Township, he rushed back to Zhongnan Province from other places overnight. Finally, he rushed to Yeshan Township the next afternoon. At the scene of the memorial service, as soon as he saw the portrait of the old man, the two cried bitterly, and the grief made the villagers beside him cry.

With the leaders of the county, Yu Fan walked over and held the hands of the two people and said gratefully, "I am Yu Fan, the secretary of the county party committee. I would like to express my condolences to you on behalf of the four million people in the county. Mr. Xu's spirit of dedication to the cause of education is always worth the memory of our people of Dapu County, and his figure will always live in me. In the hearts of all our people.

In fact, when the old man's children came to Niujiao Village, they were also stunned by the backward appearance here. They didn't expect that their father had been working in such a place, and their father never told them about this every time they met. They were all people who had started a family and started a business in other place and returned to Zhongnan Province. There are very few children, especially after the death of his mother. His son Xu Ming once wanted to take the old man to his city to enjoy his old age, but he was rejected by the old man.

It was not until they received a phone call from Yeshan Township this time that they learned that their father had been teaching in this backward place for the past three years. The word "supporting education" is not strange to people living in the city. It seems that such things always belong to some young people with ideals and blood, and A retired old man can't do anything, but his father has been teaching in this place for three years, which has to shock them,

As the son of the old man, Xu Ming was actually very ashamed after hearing Yu Fan's words. He shook Yu Fan's hand and shook his head with tears and said, "Secretary Yu, thank you for everything you have done for my father. I represent him,,,,,,,." Speaking of this, Xu Ming couldn't go on any longer, while his sister beside him was even more sad. She hugged Xu Ming and cried bitterly.

People are like this. When the elderly are there, they will say that they are very busy and have no time to go back to have a look. When their parents really passed away, they will feel sorry for them. They did not stay with the elderly and let the elderly stay in a place like Dapu County for three years, and the news of his death was notified by others. Let the grief and shame in their hearts be intertwined, and the momentary mood is indeed not understood by outsiders,

When the two of them were in a slightly better mood, Yu Fan also took over the things in Bi Jun's hand and looked at them and said, "Because the old man fell into the mountain stream, it is very difficult to find the body. We have sent several groups of people down, but we have never found it. This is the relic left by Mr. Xu in the village. I will return it to you now. If you have any requirements, you can ask us, and we will try our best to meet your requirements.

After taking over what Yu Fan had, Xu Ming couldn't help but be sad. He shook his head and said, "Secretary Yu, we don't have any requirements. Father can choose his favorite job at the last moment. This is his own wish. As a son, I am not qualified to make any request. On the contrary, I want to thank you. Thank you for making the old man's house beautiful,,,,,." At the end of the words, he was already a little sobbing. Yu Fan patted him on the shoulder comfortingly and sighed,

In fact, Yu Fan is not very satisfied with today's memorial service. Yesterday, he has instructed the Minister of Propaganda of the County Party Committee to vigorously publicize this matter, and he also hopes to report this matter to the Municipal Party Committee as a benchmark to support the publicity of rural education, so that more people can care about these people living in the mountains. But until now, the city has not given him a clear answer on this matter, which makes Yu Fan very dissatisfied.

The behavior of the old man is a kind of singing spirit for Yu Fan. An old man who could enjoy his old age in a big city has been educating a group of children in the mountains in this ravine for three years. Isn't this spirit worth our publicity and admiring? When many people enjoy flowers and teasing birds, When they encounter a little setback in their lives, they will never think that an old man over 70 is still giving full play to his residual heat in the mountains. Compared with those teachers who are contemptuous and scolded because of the naughty students and poor academic performance, the old man can be called a real teacher,

Yu Fan doesn't understand what the leaders of the municipal party committee think, but he can't take care of this. If you don't publicize it, I'll publicize it. At least we should vigorously publicize the deeds of the elderly in Dapu County.

The whole memorial service looked sad and solemn. All the people present bowed to the portrait of the old man. As a family member, Xu Ming's brother and sister also bowed to everyone. On the other side of the bridge, all the villagers also mourned the old man in another way, and the desolate songs echoed in the mountains.

And at this moment, a group of old people came from a distance. Yu Fan, who had already received the news, also greeted him and said gratefully, "Old county magistrate, old leaders, thank you for coming."

The old county magistrate also sighed softly and said solemnly, "We must come. We are ashamed to hear about Mr. Xu. We old guys. He is a model for us old guys. Compared with him, we sigh that we are not as good as each other. Let's go and see Brother Xu at the end." After saying that, he took the group of old people to the portrait and saluted Mr. Xu.

When he learned that Xu Ming's two brothers and sisters were Mr. Xu's relatives, the old county magistrate also held their hands and sighed, "Your father is good and respectable. We will never forget him."

Since the old man's body was not found in the end, he could only bury some of the old man's relics on the peak of Niujiao Mountain. The scenery there is pleasant, and you can see the iron cable suspension bridge on the side of the mountain from afar, which allows the old man to silently pay attention to what he has taught here. The most important thing for the children is that the old man's wife is also buried here, which also makes the two loved old people reunite after death,

People can't be resurreated after death, and life still has to continue. Looking at the gradually dispersed crowd, Yu Fan also sighed with infinite emotion. After the memorial service, the old man's children had left with the old man's relics. Before leaving, they thanked the Dapu County Party Committee for the arrangement again. The first time they came here At that time, they can feel the respect of the people here for their father, and the sadness on their faces is no less than that of their immediate relatives, which makes them proud of their father in addition to their grief.

Watching them leave, Yu Fan also knew in his heart that they would appear here on every Tomb-sweeping Day in the future. Maybe not only the two of them, but also their own sons and daughters, as well as their wives and husbands. Because their two relatives are buried in this land, they come every year. At that moment, it was not only the people of their families who appeared here, but also the thousands of villagers here, and the children who had been taught by the old people.

Returning to the county party committee, Yu Fan also took a heavy breath. For the past two days, he had been in the wild mountain village, as if he had been baptized in his heart. This feeling made him indescribable. He had respect, nostalgia, guilt and responsibility. Yu Fan had never seen such an old man before. I have to say that this is a pity, and this regret gives him a solemn sense of responsibility,

He is the county party secretary of this county. He is responsible for the people on this side. This is no longer a verbal slogan in officialdom, but a real thing in Yu Fan's heart. The old man's affairs have shocked Yu Fan a lot, but it is more a reflection on his work. This matter also makes Yu Fan feel I have to gradually become mature,

After listening to the report on the road construction project, Yu Fan also specially called Wang Wenhan, the director of the County Education Bureau, and Lu Mingxia, the new director of the Finance Bureau, in order to further implement the construction of schools in Niujiao Village.

Wang Wenhan has also been very unlucky recently. He was called by Yu Fan to build a school on the other side of the mountain in the shortest time. This matter is easy to do with the financial allocation of the county finance bureau, but the school is easy to build, but it is difficult to find a candidate for the teacher. "Secretary Yu, we are already planning for the school. It's in preparation, but it's really difficult to find a candidate for this teacher. There are very few teachers in the county school, and they don't want to go down. Some people would rather quit than go.

For Director Wang's complaint, Yu Fan shook his hand and said, "I don't care about this. This is your own business in your education system. You can solve it by yourself. In addition, I want to understand the current education situation in the county, how many schools there are, and how many schools are like Niu Jiao Village. You can make a budget and have a look. To solve these questions, how much funding gap do we have? This incident made Yu Fan completely determined to solve the problem of education,
