In a shop not far from the prefabricated area, a girl of twenty-three or four-year-old and a boy in his twenties stood there, looking at the prefabricated housing area. The girl's name is Zeng Qian, the boy's name is Liu Baorui, and the girl is four or five years older than Liu Baorui in terms of age, but this age gap is not obvious at this youthful age.

Zeng Qian wore cotton yellow casual short sleeves and blue casual shorts, which made her tall and bony figure more eye-catching. The boy Liu Baorui was casually wearing a sweatshirt and cropped pants, and a pair of sandals on his feet. Liu Baorui's eyes were attracted by Zeng Qian's body from time to time, swirling on her shoulders and round buttocks.

Zeng Qian didn't know that Liu Baorui looked at herself, but she didn't have time to reason with Liu Baorui on this issue now. She said, "You watched them arrive?" Liu Baorui said, "Yes, three cars came, and a total of six people came down." Liu Baorui said: "It must be the investigation team, I saw Zhai Xingye and Zhu Faxian all stepped forward to greet and warmly shook hands with these six people." Although it was not audible, the posture was extremely grand. Since the investigation team is here today, I'm sure it's these people, and they can't be wrong!"

Zeng Qian felt that Liu Baorui's analysis was not good. Zeng Qian is relieved of Liu Baorui's mind, Liu Baorui is a freshman at Sichuan University and is now on summer vacation. He could not have returned to the poor countryside of Tianluo, but Liu Baorui wanted to see Zeng Qian, and he was worried that Zeng Qian would always be unable to think about her father's death, so he came back.

Liu Baorui is not short of money, although Liu Baorui's father has also passed away, he used to do business and accumulated a sum of money, which was left to Liu Baorui as an inheritance. Liu Baorui's father and Zeng Qian's father are friends of eight worships, and because of this, Liu Baorui and Zeng Qian have known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, but Liu Baorui is a few years younger than Zeng Qian, Zeng Qian graduated from university for more than a year, and Liu Baorui has only been in Sichuan University for a year.

Zeng Qian's father, Zeng Fangyong, is the deputy head of Tianluo Township. He does not believe in flattery, and has expertise in water conservancy and engineering, and the reason why he became the deputy head of the township is that the cadres and the masses were elected because of his excellent style and ability level, which was called "bounce votes" at that time, and this was the most disgusting situation in the organization department, but there was no way, the masses recognized it, and the election results could not be changed. Since becoming the head of the township, Zeng Fangyong has not lived up to the expectations of the masses, working hard, running on the front line of rural water conservancy and road projects, and now those roads from Mianyang into Tianluo Realm, most of them are built under the supervision of Zeng Fangyong, although these roads have been more than ten years, but the quality is excellent, and there are no signs of potholes.

Zeng Fangyong has a characteristic, that is, he is serious, of course, in the words of the cadres of Tianluo Township, it is "competition". This kind of cadres are liked by the people, but leaders and colleagues may not. After the earthquake, Zeng Qian heard many times that Zeng Fangyong was dissatisfied with the town's disaster relief methods and the quality of the reconstruction project, and even had many conflicts with the town's main leaders. Zeng Qian is also a graduate of Sichuan University, she knows her father's personality, she also has the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, she thinks her father is right.

Zeng Qian is a graduate of the Department of Economics of Sichuan University, and after graduating from university, she could have stayed in Chengdu to find a decent job and become an urban white-collar worker. But Zeng Qian lost his mother when he was a child, and his father Zeng Fangyong worked alone in the township, although he was named the deputy township chief, in fact, he neither drank nor smoked, and what he knew on weekdays was to devote himself to work. Zeng Qian sometimes said to her father: "The masses have kidnapped you by electing you as the deputy head of the township!" Zeng Fangyong rubbed his daughter's hair and said: "Little girl, the people trust us, we will do it, if you don't trust us one day, it doesn't matter if you don't do it." ”

But the common people seem to have always trusted him. There are probably not many cadres like him who are not greedy, not corrupt, have no desires, and are dedicated to working and serving the people. Zeng Qian originally thought that such a cadre was just shown on TV, but she didn't expect such a "living treasure" to come out of her home. When Zeng Qian was about to graduate from university, she said to her father: "Dad, I don't want to stay in Chengdu anymore, I want to go back to the countryside." Zeng Fangyong thought about it, looked at his daughter and said, "It's okay, you come back, work at the grassroots level for a few years, be familiar with the hardships of the grassroots people, and it's not too late to go back to Chengdu in the future." ”

This is Zeng Fangyong's "decentralization of educated youth" to his daughter. Zeng Qian is an outstanding student cadre of Sichuan University, she can get various scholarships every year, she is a well-known talented woman in Sichuan, she wants to return to her hometown, so she became a selected student of the Organization Department of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, returned to her hometown Tianluo, and worked in the Tianluo Township Government.

However, the nightmare soon struck. On a beautiful May day, the sky suddenly changed unusually, yellow clouds hung in the sky like ploughed ridges, and huge cracks opened in the road that my father had worked so hard to build...... Immediately afterwards, Zeng Qian had never seen a landslide and a crack, the house collapsed and the walls fell, Zeng Qian watched her home, and in a blink of an eye, it became a ruin, and the ruins and ruins were helpless!

Zeng Qian, as a selected student in Tianluo, also buried her fear and sadness deep in her heart and devoted herself to the rescue activities. After a month of emergency rescue and rescue in the dark, amid the intermittent aftershocks, the central government deployed teams sent from all over the country to rebuild after the disaster. Zeng Qian also felt that in the big family of China, the warmth and affection of one party in trouble and support from all sides, she felt that it was right for her to return to the countryside, and it was precisely because she was in the countryside that when such a catastrophe occurred, she could be with her father and her fellow villagers.

This period was extremely difficult, and my father, as the deputy head of the township in charge of water conservancy and roads, kept his feet on the ground all day long, rushing to the front line of disaster relief and reconstruction. When the people saw Zeng Fangyong's running figure, their hearts were settled, and they saw the hope of the reconstruction of their hometown, because in the entire Tianluo Township, Zeng Fangyong was the most familiar with geography and roads, and with him, there was hope.

While cadres like Zeng Fangyong in the disaster-stricken areas are self-reliant, various disaster relief materials from all walks of life across the country are also pouring into the disaster-stricken areas, providing a strong material guarantee for post-disaster reconstruction. It looks like a good thing.

Seeing her father's tired figure, Zeng Qian advised her father to rest more and pay attention to his body. Zeng Fangyong said: "There is no way to rest, the people hope that we will repair the road and cure the water as soon as possible, and we have to let the people wait as soon as we rest." Zeng Qian couldn't convince him anymore, because she knew that although her father was tired and hard, he was happy, full of hope, and willing to pay. As long as a person is comfortable, happy, and willing, then a little bitterness and tiredness will not affect the body too much, and people will burst out with unimaginable power under positive energy!

Until one day, when his father Zeng Fangyong came in, the smile on his face was gone, the enthusiasm was gone, and the spirit was gone, replaced by depression and exhaustion. Zeng Qian hurriedly went up and asked what was going on! Zeng Fangyong shook his head and said, "How can they do this!" Zeng Qian asked what happened. Zeng Fangyong said: "In the project of rebuilding Tianluo Primary School, they actually cut corners, and the surplus money township government wants to stay." ”

Tianluo Primary School, the only primary school in the township, was killed in the earthquake when most of the houses collapsed. made Zeng Fangyong, a compassionate man, feel extremely heartache. Therefore, the reconstruction plan led by Zeng Fangyong put quality and safety first. He said that even if the same earthquake occurred in the future, no more children would be killed because of the collapse of the school building. The higher the quality, the greater the capital investment.

However, the ideas of the relevant leaders in the town are different from Zeng Fangyong, they said: "Our Tianluo Township has a weak economic foundation, this time the higher authorities gave us an allocation, this money we have to use reasonably, can not be used in construction, we also have to consider the operation of the Tianluo Township Government in the future, we should come up with a sum of money, as official expenses and future employee welfare." Zeng Fangyong strongly objected: "The development of the town depends on the town to find its own way, and the disaster relief funds should be used for post-disaster reconstruction." ”

Due to the sudden occurrence of the earthquake, there were no samples for post-disaster reconstruction, and various systems were not in place. A large amount of disaster relief funds are also distributed to the disaster relief areas after preliminary estimates, and there is no follow-up supervision, and the local governments that receive the disaster relief funds are not strictly regulated in terms of which aspects must be used in the use of the funds, and have great autonomy. It was this kind of autonomy that caused Zeng Fangyong to clash with the main leaders of the township, and the biggest conflict was Zhu Faxian, secretary of the township party committee.

Zhu Faxian said: "The use of disaster relief funds is not up to you, Zeng Fangyong, but to the collective study and decision of the party committee and government. If a large amount of disaster relief funds are used in the construction of schools, how will our government operate in the future? As the deputy head of the township, you should not consider the problem too much and only take care of your own one-third of an acre of land, but also consider the problem from the perspective of the whole township and the principal leaders of our government. Zeng Fangyong said: "I don't want to see any more cases of children dying because the school is not stable!" Zhu Faxian said: "Don't you want to see it? Do you have the heart of a bodhisattva alone?" But we must also consider the actual situation in doing things, otherwise we will put the township party committee and government in a predicament if we are divorced from reality. ”

Zeng Fangyong is a business cadre, he is not very good at words, but he also heard that the meaning of the party secretary is nothing more than to get some benefits from this wave of disaster relief funds, whether this benefit is for the party committee and government collective, or for employee welfare, in short, to cut out a piece of cake. Zeng Fangyong didn't want to defend anymore, he proposed: "Since the use of disaster relief funds is a collective study and decision of the party committee and government, then why not raise your hand to vote!"

Zhu Fa smiled first, and said in his heart, Zeng Fangyong was really simple-minded! He would even think that someone was on his side, this was self-deprecating!

Zeng Fangyong didn't think much about it, he thought that there must be people in the entire team of the town government who were like him who no longer wanted to see children lose their lives because of poor houses, and hoped that disaster relief materials from all over the country would be used for post-disaster reconstruction.

Zhu Fa first said: "Since you proposed to vote by show of hands, then we will vote once today." Please raise your hand if you are in favor of using all the disaster relief funds for the construction of primary schools!" In a huge meeting room of the party and government leadership group, the members of the fifteen party committees and government groups raised only Zeng Fangyong's lonely hand. Zeng Fangyong almost vomited blood and died, did the conscience of these people be eaten by the dogs? Zeng Fangyong could see clearly, the entire party committee team saw that the money was open, and for his own interests, he could divide the disaster relief funds and use them.

In fact, it is really difficult to say how to use disaster relief funds, how to use them correctly, and how to use them wrongly. It is used for school construction is reconstruction, and it is included in the township finance as public funds, which can also be said to be reconstruction. The reconstruction is all in the township, as long as the people in the township are using this money, it can be regarded as reconstruction.

Zeng Fangyong was depressed for a while, and after the persuasion of some people around him, he calmed down. But what happened next made Zeng Fangyong quite annoyed. That is, the director of the office of the township government, who sent high-end tea and high-end cigarettes to the offices of each of their leaders, saying that they were used for reception.

Zeng Fangyong has been a township cadre for many years, and he does not take the initiative to go to the office to get cigarettes and tea for personal enjoyment. Now that it's the aftermath of the disaster, he can't even think about it. Unexpectedly, I didn't take it myself, but the office took the initiative to send it to my door. He said to the director of the office: "Where did this come from?" The director of the office said: "Where else did you get it? I bought it, and the secretary and the township chief said that everyone should improve their lives!" Zeng Fangyong was so brave that his nose smoked: "I have money to improve my life, but I don't have money to build a primary school?" Zeng Fangyong returned all the cigarettes and tea to the office.

At the end of the year, the government issued an additional 20,000 yuan in benefits to each team member, Zeng Fangyong knew where these benefits came from, and he would not take these hot money, so he clearly stated that he did not want it. In this way, the members of the town's leadership team all had thoughts about Zeng Fangyong: This person is not all the way. In the agency, if others think that it is not all the way, it will be very dangerous. In the organs, there is no absolute "right" or absolute "wrong", but there are "right" and "wrong". Zeng Fangyong obviously only stood on the side that he thought was right, and did not take into account the feelings of others.

Sometimes a pack of cigarettes, a box of tea or a few hundred dollars, whether you take it or not, it is not only a question of whether to take it or not, but a question of whether you follow them all the way. If you don't want to be the "raccoon dog" in their hill, there is no way for people to do it, for the safety of this team, they can only kick you out.

After the Chinese New Year, Zeng Fangyong paid the price for his persistence, and after collective research and discussion by the party committee and government, Zeng Fangyong's division of work was adjusted, and he was no longer in charge of the construction of school projects. Zeng Fangyong was already thinking about how to do everything possible to ensure the quality and safety of school construction in the face of a shortage of funds. In this way, Zeng Fangyong's efforts are useless.

But no matter what, Zeng Fangyong is a person who can't be idle, so he has to use his energy to do other things for the people, as long as there is a need, he will let the car take him to the village to see the house, look at the road, and look at the foundation.

Then something happened that made Zeng Fangyong sad, the Tianluo Primary School under construction collapsed, and two construction workers died and one was seriously injured. Zeng Fangyong went to the scene on the same day, and it was clear at a glance that he believed that it was caused by cutting corners.

There was such a serious safety accident, and it was the reconstruction of the primary school project that collapsed during the construction process, and the local party committee and government are responsible. The Tianluo Township Party Committee and Government held an emergency meeting to study measures and measures. They dug their hearts out and came up with a way to excuse that it was due to aftershocks. But this excuse, said by Tianluo Township himself, has no effect. The secretary of the township party committee finally thought of grasping the last straw, that is, Zhai Xingye, the commander of the Jingzhou City Aid Construction Headquarters. Zhufa knew first that if he made a request, then Zhai Xingye would definitely agree, and Zhai Xingye would not be able to refuse him......

Sure enough, Zhai Xingye agreed to send a team of experts to identify the accident and determined that it was caused by aftershocks. The reason why the appraisal of the aid headquarters is effective is that Jingzhou City, as the main aid unit of Tianluo Township, is responsible for guiding the construction of schools and roads. Moreover, there is such a big trouble in Tianluo Township, and the local county party committee and county government certainly don't want to make things bigger, so it's better for someone to come out and say something, and the matter will pass. So the words of the aid headquarters played a magical role.

When everything was in order, Zeng Fangyong, the deputy head of the township, got a list of materials and a report on the use of aid funds out of nowhere. Of these two documents, one can prove that the materials used are of inferior quality, and the other can prove that the township party committee and government abused the construction aid funds. Zeng Fangyong said: "If the party committee and government do not admit that the school's production accidents were caused by cutting corners, and instruct the construction unit to be responsible, then he will publish these two lists to the public!"

Zhu Faxian, secretary of the Tianluo Township Party Committee, was stunned, if these two lists were announced, not only would he not be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head, but he might also suffer prison for it. Zhu Fa first went to the door to compensate in person, but Zeng Fangyong was stubborn and did not give in. A person who has no other hobbies other than work, why is it reasonable, it is likely that he will be tenacious to the end.

The foresight of the law could not convince Zeng Fangyong, so he had to leave by car. In the car, he made a phone call to a man and said, "We have to do it, there is no turning back!"

The next day, Zeng Fangyong went to the village to see the situation as usual, and on the way back, the mountain collapsed and washed the car into the cliff, leaving no bones......

This is the story of Zeng Qian's father, Zeng Fangyong. Looking at the area of the board house, Zeng Qian recalled her father who had fallen into the abyss valley and died in the belly of the fish, and two tears welled up in her eyes. The tears were crystal clear, which made the boy next to him, Liu Baorui, very heartbroken.

Liu Baorui handed Zeng Qian a tissue, Zeng Qian didn't ask for it, but wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and prepared to walk towards the simple board room area. Liu Baorui shouted and said: "Zeng Qian, I have heard that officials protect each other, even if it is an inspection team, they may not protect each other. Zeng Qian's voice was firm: "I don't believe that there is no one in this world who believes in the truth!" Liu Baorui saw that he couldn't stop her, so he said: "If you can't succeed this time." You promised to go back to Chengdu with me, and never come back!"

Zeng Qian glanced back at Liu Baorui and nodded. Liu Baorui said: "You have to remember, you promised me!" Zeng Qian nodded again and said, "I know." Liu Baorui chased after him and said, "You go slowly, behind me, I'll go up first." I estimate that there must be people in the prefabricated area to guard it, and they know that the inspection team will not relax their vigilance when they come today. I ran over to lure them away. ”

Liu Baorui guessed correctly. In the dining room of the prefabricated house, the welcome luncheon of the inspection team has not yet ended, but at the entrance of the prefabricated area, there are two policemen from the local police station sitting there. They were the secretary of the township party committee, and Zhu Faxian, in order to prevent people from making trouble, asked the director of the police station to arrange for the police to be on guard.

Liu Baorui pretended to be nothing, and when he walked to the board room area, the two policemen stood up and stopped Liu Baorui: "Where are you going?" Liu Baorui pretended to be hippie and said with a smile: "I want to go in and drink." The two policemen, knowing that a welcome banquet was being held inside, heard him say that they were going to go in and drink, did it have anything to do with the people inside, so they said, "Who are you?" Liu Baorui said: "Is it necessary to tell you who I am?

The two policemen were originally afraid of offending people, and they really wanted to go in and ask if there was such a guest, but when they heard Liu Baorui say this, they knew that this was a person who came to find fault. Liu Baorui said: "Why should I go, isn't this land from our Tianluo Township? As long as the people of Tianluo can go!" The policeman said: "This is the place of the aid group, and now they have important guests, you can't just go in, let's go!"

Liu Baorui said: "You two, are you Tianluo people or pugs." Pug, be a guard......" The two policemen saw that he intended to find fault, so they chased him out, "Boy, don't scold, insult the police, we will let you squat in the station for two days!" Liu Baorui ran and scolded, leading the two policemen away for a while.

The task of the two policemen was to guard the gate of the board room area, and when they saw Liu Baorui escape, they did not chase away, and when they turned around, they saw a woman's figure flash into the board room area.

The moment Liu Baorui led the police away, the girl Zeng Qian quickly ran into the board room area and ran straight to the canteen in front. The people in the cafeteria were still respecting and chatting with each other.

Zeng Qian ran into the cafeteria and saw the messy appearance of the cups and plates, she was stunned at first, and a wave of disappointment poured out of her heart. She originally thought that the investigation team must have eaten lunch very frugally, but she didn't expect it to be a nonsense meal. But since the person came in, she didn't want to retreat anymore, so she shouted: "Where is the leader of the inspection team?"

Although her voice was crisp and pleasant, she spoke uprightly, and the people in the cafeteria were shocked and looked at Zeng Qian. Zhu Faxian, Secretary of the Party Committee of Tianluo Township, and Zhai Xingye, the commander of the Commander, were all beating wildly in their hearts. It was Zhu Fa who reacted quickly, and he shouted: "Why did this woman come here!" Zeng Qian said: "I'll report the situation to the investigation team!"

Zhu Faxian threatened: "Didn't you see the investigation team eating?" Zeng Qian said: "Is it important to eat and drink, or is it important to understand the problem?"

The girl spoke and answered the questions so clearly that it attracted the attention of the inspection team. Yang Xiaobo looked at Zeng Qian, then at the wine cup that was originally in his hand, and quickly put it down. Xiong Yeli, who was originally pretending to be dozing, also opened her eyes, Liang Jian was not drunk, looking at this innocent and beautiful girl, she wondered: "Who is she?

Zhu Faxian was speechless, and the two policemen who were originally guarding the gate had already rushed back! Zhu Faxian saw the two policemen, who had nowhere to vent their nameless fire, so they shouted: "What are you two eating? How did this woman come in?" The two policemen hurriedly pulled Zeng Qian's shoulders and threatened: "You go for me quickly, otherwise I want you to look good!"

Zeng Qian is just a weak girl, small and light, and she is dragged by two big men, how can she stand firmly! Yang Xiaobo is still struggling with being seen by outsiders that she eats and drinks nonsense, and her image is not good. There was no response to the police pulling the girl. He didn't say it, and neither did the rest of the team. The people of the command and the local government were even more silent.

At this time, Liang Jian couldn't help it: "You let her go first!" Everyone no longer looked at Zeng Qian, but instead turned their eyes to Liang Jian. Zeng Qian's two clean and bright eyes were also like searchlights, shining on Liang Jian embarrassedly
