"Hey, the commune office? I am the Yitang Brigade Department, and I am looking for Secretary Huo. The old secretary picked up the phone and dialed the phone in the commune secretary's office.

"Okay, you wait." Someone in the microphone said, and then I heard a shouting voice from the microphone: "Secretary Huo, someone is looking for you." ”

After a short effort, I heard a deep voice coming: "Hey, which one?" I'm Secretary Huo. ”

"Oh, Secretary Huo, I, Lao Zhang." The old secretary said: "There is such a thing that needs to be discussed with you, at noon, Lao Xie came back with a little girl who couldn't think of jumping into the river and committed suicide, and now she is being treated in the infirmary of our brigade headquarters. This little girl is the little girl who often sells bean sprouts in our village, according to her from Zhuangchao Village, she also said that she is an abandoned baby, and her current adoptive parents treat her very badly and have thoughts of suicide. After our inquiry, we found that this girl was bruised and purple, and the abuse was very serious, and this girl is now unwilling to return to that home. What do you think is going to do? ”

"Oh, and that? What do you think should be done about this? Secretary Huo asked the old secretary.

"I think so, it's not easy to talk between villages, you see if the commune will come forward to investigate Zhuangchao Village to understand the situation, and then we will deal with it further, after all, this is a major matter of human life, and it is also related to the growth and life of children in the future!" The old secretary said.

The other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, why don't you do this, after all, the child is with you, you also know the first-hand information, you send someone over, and I will send two relevant personnel from the commune to go over together, the first matter involves civil affairs, and the second also involves acting, I sent a comrade from the civil department and a comrade from the police station, they went to Zhuangchao Village together to understand the specific reason, and then we discussed the specific handling opinions, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, I'll send Lao Xie over, and Lao Xie will be there in twenty minutes." The old secretary said.

"Okay, that's it." After Secretary Huo finished speaking, he then hung up the phone and told the secretary to notify the comrades of the Civil Section and the police station.

"Old Xie." The old secretary hung up the phone and said to Lao Xie next to him: "Did you hear what Secretary Huo meant just now?" ”

"Well, I heard that, I'll go to the commune to meet them." Lao Xie said.

"Okay, contact me if you have something." The old secretary said.

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

With little effort, Lao Xie rode the Hongqi brand bicycle that he had ridden for many years, which was the only bus in the brigade headquarters. This Hongqi brand bicycle has almost become Lao Xie's special car, usually go out to do most of the errands, are by Lao Xie to perform the tasks assigned by the old secretary, it is not possible to rely on two legs, with this bicycle is much more convenient.

Lao Xie came to the commune and directly found Secretary Huo's office, and Secretary Huo was waiting for him. As soon as Lao Xie entered the door, Secretary Huo pointed to the two comrades next to him and said to Lao Xie: "Lao Xie, these two comrades are going with you, this is from our Civil Section, and this is the police comrade from our Public Security Bureau." I have already informed the village committee of Zhuangchao Village, so you can go directly to their village committee to find them, and they will lead you to that house. Listening to what the old secretary said, it seems that this is a serious case of child abuse, you must investigate the truth of the matter clearly, make a good record, and communicate in a timely manner. ”

"Okay, here we go." Lao Xie said.

The three of them got into the jeep of the Public Security Bureau and soon came to the village committee of Zhuangchao Village. The comrades of the village committee had been waiting for them in the office for a long time, and when they heard the sound of the jeep, they hurried out of the house, and after shaking hands with several people one by one, they came to the office and sat down again.

"There's a girl who sells bean sprouts from your village, right?" Lao Xie went straight to the point and said.

"Yes, it's from our village. This morning, when it was almost noon, the family came to our village committee and said that his daughter was missing, and asked us to help find her. We sent a lot of militia out to look for them, and there are still militiamen who have not returned. It was only after receiving a call from Secretary Huo that I knew that he was in your village. The leader of Zhuangchao Village said.

"Can you tell us about their family?" The comrade of the Civil Section of the Commune asked.

The police of the Public Security Bureau have already prepared a record book, and they are always preparing to record with a pen in hand.

"Speaking of this family, people in the village have a lot of opinions, and they are usually not good, and their relationship with their neighbors is not good. These two are infertile, and the bean sprouts are the children they picked up. Speaking of this child, everyone in the village knows that this child is very pitiful, these two often beat the child, and the neighbors can often hear the child's crying! The people in the village have reported to us countless times, and we have also gone to their homes countless times, and have done a lot of work for them. Just now, Secretary Huo said on the phone that the child couldn't think about it and jumped into the river! Actually, it's not surprising at all, you think that a child will be abused for many years, isn't it sooner or later?! ”

"Yes, Miss Bean Sprouts told us what happened to us in our infirmary, and showed us her wounds, and we all wanted to cry when we saw it, what poor child!" Lao Xie said.

"Yes, yes, we are all very sympathetic to her plight, as the village committee, our only authority is to mediate and do work, and we can't do anything else. It's okay now, it's a big deal, and when you come, I should have an explanation for this matter, and I can't let their temperament mess around anymore! The leader of the village committee said.

"How old is this kid?" The police officer of the Public Security Bureau asked.

"Sixteen or seventeen." The leader of the village committee said.

"What is the child's physical condition? Nothing broken, right? The police officer of the Public Security Bureau asked again.

"No, there is nothing wrong with the body, this child has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is very likeable." The leader of the village committee said.

"Did the child go to school?" The police officer asked.

"Going to school? Ha ha. When the police asked this question, the leader of the village committee laughed twice and said: "These two big villains, let alone let the children go to school, it would be good to let the children have enough to eat!" We have also mentioned this to them that when children reach school age, it is the right of each of us citizens to receive education, and it is also the duty and responsibility of each of us as parents. Guess what they say? They said, "What do you say?" School? We picked her up since we were young, ate me and drank mine, how much effort did we pay for how much money did we spend on her? It's hard to raise her so big, it's time to contribute to the family, and you still want us to provide for her schooling? In a few years, it will be time for her to talk about marriage, a pot of flowers that we have worked so hard to raise, let others bring us the flowers out of thin air, and then we will not get anything, we will not lose us! ”

Lao Xie, the police, and the leaders of the civil department who were present all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, but as soon as they thought of the bean sprouts girl's experience and misfortune, their hearts suddenly swelled with infinite pity and sympathy, and they immediately became serious again!

The police made a record, and the three of them exchanged glances with each other, nodded to each other, and there was nothing more to ask.

"That's it, do you think there's anything else you want to ask?" The leader of the village committee asked.

"No, we want to go to their house, then it's annoying for you to have a hard trip." The police said.

"Okay, okay, no problem, these are my business, you're welcome, we also want to solve this matter as soon as possible." The leader of the village committee got up and said, "Then let's go, let's go and get to know the adoptive parents of the bean sprouts." ”

"No need to drive, let's walk underground, and by the way, listen to what the people have to say." said the leader of the Civil Division.

"Okay, well, the masses have the most right to speak, and their words are the most convincing." Lao Xie said.

Several people walked on the street, because of their special status, they walked on the street particularly conspicuous, the people saw that these people were leaders, and all eyes were on them.

"Folks, these people were sent by the commune to investigate the matter of the bean sprout girl, the bean sprout girl has been found, she is fine now, everyone don't have to worry." The leader of the village committee said to the villagers standing on the side of the road.

As soon as the villagers heard that these leaders were here for the bean sprout girl, and there was also a policeman wearing a police uniform, didn't this clearly mean that the bean sprouts girl had an accident?

"What the hell happened to the sprouts girl? Comrade Public Security, did the bean sprouts girl have an accident? A villager asked.

"The bean sprouts girl had an accident, now she is safe and sound, you don't need to panic, we came this time, just to learn about the bean sprouts girl and her family, and hope that the villagers will help!" The police said.

"Comrade policeman, this child's life is miserable. She is a child who was picked up, her adoptive parents are vicious, they use the child as an animal, they beat and scold, they don't let the child cry, they don't let the child go out, the child just comes out to play soy sauce and vinegar to limit the time! One villager said.

"How do you find out about this?" The police officer asked.

"I'm their neighbor, and I know better than I know what their family is doing! Our two families are separated by a wall, and you can see it when you look up! Once, when I saw that the girl with bean sprouts was pitiful, I gave her a cake, and the two of them saw it, and scolded her through the wall for three days, endlessly. Comrade policeman, don't you know the viciousness of those two people, ask the villagers who doesn't know! The more the fellow talked, the more excited he became!

"Yes, comrade policeman, you have to take care of this matter, the people in the village have let them offend, and no one doesn't hate them! If the sprouts girl comes back, they will have to kill her, you have to call the shots for the children! Another villager said.

As soon as this villager began, the onlookers began to talk nonsense, which was simply an accusation! The more people surround you, the more you say a word, it is simply to the extent that the heroes are angry!

"Okay folks, thank you very much for providing us with these information, we have written it down, we will act impartially and in accordance with the law, and give the child justice! Let's all disperse, let's all disperse! The police said to the onlookers.

"Let's go to her house." said the leader of the Civil Division.

"Okay, I'll take you there." The leader of the village committee said.
