Chapter 858
When Liu Weiming arrived in the village, Liu Gen drove his car and waited directly at the entrance of the village, and then drove the car directly to Liu Weiming's father's grave with Liu Weiming. Last time, Liu Gen promised him to ask someone to help Liu Weiming repair his father's grave, Liu Weiming never had time to come back to see, but this time it felt very different. The dirt path in front of the grave was now covered with a concrete strip almost four meters wide, and the small mound that had been used was now a large wall, with a staircase of almost twenty stories outside, and the staircase in the middle of the wall was like a temple, and of course, on either side of the gate was a large stone lion. This made Liu Weiming's family amazed, and they were so surprised that their jaws were about to drop.
"Liu Gen, are you sure this is my father's grave?" asked Liu Gen, pointing to this.
"Brother, because the time is relatively tight, I can only do this at present. After the Chinese New Year, I planted a dozen big trees in and outside, the kind that covers the sun, and in addition, here I am going to bring the small river over there, I have seen it with a feng shui master, and he said that if you add ancient trees and flowing water here, it will be an excellent yin house. Fuwang's descendants are thousands of generations, endlessly. Also, I hired a calligrapher to work on the couplets on both sides of the gate, and the characters have been written, and now they are making zuò, and then they can come and engrave them, but this will have to wait until next year. Liu Gen introduced while taking Liu Weiming's family in.
Of course, the most touching was Liu Weiming's mother, who began to cry as soon as she arrived, and the frightened Zhang Yunjia and Jin Qian hurriedly went to comfort her. Liu Weiming directly pulled Liu Gen aside, took out a cigarette from his body, handed it to Liu Gen and asked directly: "Let's tell me the truth, sue me, how much did it cost in total?"
"It didn't cost much, and the amount you said last time hasn't been used up yet. You know, the most expensive thing now is the labor fee, I heard that it is to build a tomb for Xiangbo (Liu Weiming's father), and many people in the village come to help for free, so this directly saves the most important expense. Liu Gen hurriedly explained.
"Are you stupid or am I stupid? Even if it's really like you said, there is no labor cost, and the big guys are here to help fix it. Then don't you need money to enclose such a large piece of land? When did the Land Bureau talk so well? This piece of land is six or seven acres, to say the least, right? And this palace-like building and pavilion is not cheap, right? I don't think it's easy to find these materials. Of course, there is also this cement road, and a cement road that cannot be built without a long distance of more than 100,000 yuan, right? You may not know, but I have personally managed road construction before, so I know a little bit about this kind of cost. You kid tell me the truth, how much did it cost?" Liu Weiming said as he smoked a cigarette.
Liu Gen smiled and did not answer Liu Weiming's words.
"I knew I wouldn't let your kid help with this, my dad is a person who likes simplicity, and I'm not a person who likes to be public, if you do this, it is estimated that my dad will definitely slap us in the mouth when he asks me for a dream one night. Of course, I know your kindness. My brothers have to settle the accounts, you kid wait for the next list for me, and give me a clear list of all the expenses, and no one is missing. Of course, I know that you will definitely not ask for this money, so so be it, I will donate as much as it costs to the school in our village, and it will be regarded as the money you donate to the school. It's time for lunch, where is the stuff you want to prepare?"
"You'll have to wait a little bit for this, it's probably going to be there soon, you know, time is tight, these things are not easy to prepare for a while. After Liu Gen finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and began to urge.
Just when Liu Gen was about to urge, there was a sound of cars outside, and then he saw a small truck parked outside, and then several people got out of the car and began to carry piles of paper money, paper houses and other things, and finally even chickens, ducks, fish and three animals were brought up. In the end, he led a live sheep directly from the car.
"Liu Gen, what are you doing? I asked you to prepare a little bit, but I didn't let you prepare like this. Liu Weiming's eyes widened, looking at the mountain-like paper money and other things piled up in front of the grave, and asked Liu Gen.
"Brother, you really can't blame me for this, it's not my idea. This is the instruction of several elders, according to our rules here, for the respected people in the family to worship once a year, originally a few old people in the village decided to hold a whole family worship on the day of the auspicious death next year, but I heard that you came to worship today and everyone discussed it, and it was set for today. The hours are strictly measured, and they must not be moved, and everyone will come over later. Liu Gen said aggrievedly.
"I've heard of this, and when I was a child, I remember that our Liu family, a whole family, also held it once. However, is it necessary to be so grand?" Liu Weiming was also a little confused.
"Great name, if that's the case, then this is a great honor for your father. Either way, you must remember the folks. When Liu Weiming's mother heard Liu Gen's words, she began to burst into tears again.
"I know, don't worry, Mom, I will definitely do my best to help my hometown. Liu Weiming nodded in affirmation.
Immediately, another small truck came, and it was loaded with fireworks and other things, as well as all kinds of couplings. Not long after, there was a sound of musical instruments, and I saw more than 100 people beating gongs and drums coming this way. Liu Weiming knows a little about these procedures, these are the customs of the village, most of the whole village is the Liu family, from ancient times everyone is a line, there are a lot of rules in this clan, the village chief is the patriarch, many times the patriarch speaks with great weight.
Then on this day, every man in the village went to the grave of Liu Weiming's father, and began to worship according to the rules handed down by his ancestors, to be honest, which made Liu Weiming very moved. Although these things are superficial things and cannot bring some substantial benefits to Liu Weiming, some things are more important to Liu Weiming than money and reputation.
The worship activity ended in the afternoon, and before the end of the event, Jin Qian directly wrote a check for 5 million to Liu Weiming, asking Liu Weiming to donate it to the village. Liu Weiming looked at Jin Qian and didn't say anything, Jin Qian even knew what she was thinking, and there was no need to say anything more between the two. Liu Weiming donated the money directly to the village school to improve the learning environment and strengthen the teaching staff for the children.
When I returned to Linyang, it was already night, next year is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also the day when Dong Jing did surgery, but Liu Weiming does not have too much worry about this operation, he has seen a lot of numbers, and the success rate of this operation is very high. After dinner, Liu Weiming still went to the hospital and looked at the two sisters. After returning home, I was busy arranging things for the New Year with my family, and the two children had the most fun.
Early the next morning, Liu Weiming was woken up by the phone ringing before he woke up, and looked at the number, it was Yao Hong's, which made Liu Weiming have an ominous premonition, you know, there is no important thing Yao Hong is absolutely impossible to call at this time to disturb himself.
"Yao Hong, what is the matter?" Liu Weiming took the phone and asked directly.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Liu, this Chinese New Year has disturbed your rest. Yao Hong still apologized respectfully.
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. Liu Weiming didn't have time to talk nonsense with Yao Hong, so he asked directly.
"I have just received a report that three towns in Yueshan County have been affected by the freezing, all the power poles have collapsed, and a certain number of houses have collapsed, and because of the severe freeze, the lives of the local people have become a problem. Yao Hong said.
"What's going on in other places?" asked Liu Weiming.
"Other places are normal for the time being, and it has not affected normal life, but there are slightly more traffic accidents when traveling. However, due to the impact of the climate, the Meteorological Bureau said that the freezing situation will continue to worsen in the coming period. I have already called the leaders of Yueshan County to ask about the situation, and they said that these three towns are relatively remote places, and the quality of the power grid was a bit problematic when it was renovated, so this situation occurred, and they said that this situation would not occur in other places. Yao Hong said in detail.
"Why do they say no? Why do they say no? Are they experts? Do they have a basis? Since this kind of disaster has already occurred, it means that there is a possibility of such a disaster, and if the meteorological experts say that it will be further aggravated, it means that this possibility is relatively large, and we cannot leave it to chance. Which leaders in the city are on duty now?" asked Liu Weiming.
"I'm on duty today, and the city government doesn't know. Yao Hong replied.
"Since you are on duty, then you must handle this matter well, so let's give you a few requirements, you must ensure the normal life of the people in the affected areas, and let them have a peaceful year. In addition, real-time monitoring of the situation in various places, and various emergency plans. Liu Weiming said in a deep voice. Then hung up.
Liu Wei thought about it before and after, and his mind was restless.
"What's wrong? Is something happening?" asked Zhang Yunjia when she saw that something was wrong with Liu Weiming.
"There has been an ice disaster in Baishan, but it is only localized at the moment, and the scope is limited to three towns. But the situation is getting worse, and I fear a full-blown freezing disaster. Today is the Chinese New Year, and if I can't let the people have a satisfactory New Year, I will be a sinner. Liu Weiming sighed.
"Ice disaster?" Zhang Yunjia is a southerner, so he is a bit novel about this term.
"Yes, don't think that only rain and snow can bring disaster, ice will also be the same. Think about how catastrophic it would be to have a large area of high-intensity freezing. Not only is the normal life of ordinary people not guaranteed, but it may also endanger the safety of life and property. Unlike floods and fires, this ice disaster also has symptoms of a long duration. Liu Weiming lit a cigarette and said slowly.
Zhang Yunjia looked at Liu Weiming, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you go over." ”
Liu Weiming looked at Zhang Yunjia and said with a smile: "Today is the Chinese New Year, I have already said that I will accompany you to spend a good year at home this year." ”
"Do you think you can spend a good year at home like this? I know you too well, in fact, you have long wanted to fly over in your heart, but you don't want to treat us badly, we are not unreasonable people, we know what is important and what is secondary. You go over and come back as soon as you can after taking care of things. I'll talk to my mom and the children here, but Jin Qian's side you have to talk about it yourself. Zhang Yunjia nodded and said.
Liu Weiming looked at Zhang Yunjia and was very moved, so he immediately hugged Zhang Yunjia and then pressed Zhang Yunjia down.
"What are you going to do, in broad daylight. You're not going?" Zhang Yunjia pushed Liu Weiming and said.
"My wife is so sensible, I have to make up for it before I can leave. Liu Weiming said with a smile.
"What kind of compensation are you, you are making me uncomfortable, crushing me, dying of discomfort. Zhang Yunjia said deliberately, but then she was speechless.
The air ticket is booked temporarily, although it is difficult to book the ticket at this time now, but Liu Weiming does not have such a problem. As a leader, he will always have something special. Jin Qian drove Liu Weiming to the airport, before registering, Liu Weiming still felt very guilty, and said to Jin Qian: "I'm sorry, I promised you a long time ago, I want to spend a New Year with you at home this year, and now I'm leaving." ”
"We can understand you for whatever you say. We are going to live a lifetime, when we are young, we should be busy with work, when we are old, we have no ability to work to achieve our ambitions, we have time to be together, right? Okay, the plane is boarded, it's cold, and you have a few thick clothes in your bag, don't catch a cold. Jin Qian said softly after straightening Liu Weiming's clothes.
Liu Weiming let out a long sigh, and then regardless of how many people were around, he kissed Jin Qian's face, and then turned around and got on the plane.
Before the plane took off, Liu Weiming called Dong Lin and asked if the operation had started there, and also told them that he had returned to Baishan in a temporary emergency, and asked them to call him directly if there was anything.
After getting off the plane, the driver was still waiting outside, along with Wang Tingting.
"Didn't you have to come over and have a good year at home?" asked Liu Weiming Wang Tingting.
"Can I not go to work if you go to work?" Wang Tingting smiled, and then took over Liu Weiming's class.
"What a conscious comrade, you call Secretary Yao Hong and tell him that I will go directly to the disaster-stricken area and ask him to arrange the relevant work. Liu Weiming sat in the car and began to speak. After finishing speaking, he looked at the driver and said, "How is the situation?
"Not yet, but some sections of the road have already been iced, but they are all mild, and the ice melts after being crushed by the car. The highway is closed in the morning, because the ice is thicker at that time, and it is easy to get into accidents, and when the temperature comes up, it will not have much impact on the car, but the speed of the car will go down. The driver replied to Liu Weiming's words while driving.
"It seems that this temperature can't be lower, if it is lower, something will happen. Liu Weiming sighed and said.
