Seeing that the order gradually calmed down, Qi Tianxiang looked around at the few people sitting beside him, slowly stood up, bowed deeply to the family members opposite, and then sat down again, and said with a solemn expression: "It has been a few days since the accident happened, and I didn't take time to sit with you until today, I'm really sorry, and I ask for your understanding!" ”

Qi Tianxiang's sudden bow, as well as his sincere and sincere apology, immediately made the conference room freeze there as if it were frozen. No one thought that Qi Tianxiang, who was the governor of the province, would say this and do this.

After a moment of stunned, the conference room sounded a burst of crying, and the atmosphere gradually returned to a normal state, and several elderly people and family members sitting opposite each other, enduring their grief, looked at Qi Tianxiang intently, waiting for his next statement.

"According to the customs and habits of our rivers and seas, tomorrow is the first seventh, and it is the day to send the deceased to the earth for peace, and it is the common wish of all people to be able to let our own relatives walk quietly." Qi Tianxiang saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and they were all quietly waiting for his words, so he said carefully, his tone was as gentle as possible, and his tone was as soft as possible, "The relatives who shouldn't have left are gone, and they are so sudden, so unexpected, it is difficult for everyone to accept, especially the old people who have lost their sons, and the white-haired people send the black-haired people, this sadness and pain is difficult to calm down in the short term." There are also the eldest sisters who have lost the pillars of the family, in the face of the huge disaster of the collapse of the sky, how to continue the future life, how to take on the responsibility of educating children and taking care of the elderly, this is an urgent problem to be solved, and it is also the most urgent thing. Dealing with and settling these things is the best tribute we have to the deceased, after all, this is also the thing they are most concerned about and can not rest assured. ”

Although Qi Tianxiang's words were euphemistic, they still caused great grief in the conference room, and the crying quickly changed from sobbing to howling, sharp and rough, and all kinds of sounds were mixed together, forming a sound Lang, making the conference room seem noisy and chaotic for a while. Grief swayed Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but take out his handkerchief, tried the tears from the corners of his eyes, and fell into pain.

"Everyone should mourn, take care of your body, especially the elderly, don't cry and break your body." Zhou Tong stood up, raised his voice to comfort everyone, and proposed softly: "Governor Qi came to visit you, just to hope to handle the funeral affairs of the relatives who were killed, take care of them well, let the relatives go with peace of mind, and let our relatives feel at ease." ”

Zhou Tong's words made the crying in the conference room gradually weakened, and slowly calmed down, Qi Tianxiang looked at Zhou Tong sideways, and couldn't help but secretly admire his old age and experience, after all, he is the secretary general for many years, has experienced or dealt with many such incidents, has rich experience, and is calm and composed, so he took over the conversation and said: "Secretary General Zhou is right, we just have to try our best to take care of our body, after all, our life will continue, this is the most critical thing." ”

"Today, the competent cadres of our province, city, county and group are sitting with their relatives to listen to everyone's ideas and requirements, as well as their views and opinions on the funeral arrangements." Qi Tianxiang quickly returned to normal, looked at the people in the conference room, and said word by word: "If you have any thoughts and opinions, if you are inconvenient to say to the specific undertaking staff, you can tell me, whether it is a life problem or a practical family difficulty, you can talk about it." ”

Seeing that everyone was a little surprised, and didn't know how to speak, Qi Tianxiang continued: "In the past few days, the relevant compensation and compensation, there have been staff members who have negotiated with each family, and the specific difficulties are still those, if there is any dissatisfaction, you can say it, don't have any concerns, today we are sitting together, just to solve the problem fairly and openly, so that everyone's life can continue calmly, see who talks about it first?" ”

"Thank you Governor Qi, thank you leaders, you can come to visit us in person, sit with our families, we are very satisfied, we are very satisfied with the arrangement of the mine, there is no more trouble to the mine and the organization, please rest assured, we do not make trouble, nor do we make any unreasonable demands, although we are ordinary people, but we are also people who want face, know how to do it." An old man with gray hair and a thin body sitting opposite Qi Tianxiang stood up, looked at Qi Tianxiang gratefully, and said sadly: "Any difficulty in our own family is nothing at all, we can overcome it, please rest assured Governor Qi." ”

"If you have difficulties to solve difficulties, why should you overcome them yourself? Everyone solves the difficulties by themselves, what do you want to organize? What do you want us to do? Qi Tianxiang clearly heard the dissatisfaction and resentment from the old man's words, so he said to the old man gently, then looked back at Li Zilin, deputy secretary of the party committee of the group standing behind him, and then looked at Zhu Shouming, who was sitting not far from him, and raised his voice slightly and asked: "What is the difficulty of the old man, who can tell me?" Where are the difficulties that need to be overcome by the individual? ”

"The old man's surname is Liu, he is a retired veteran worker of the mine, and his son was unfortunately killed in this mining disaster." Li Zilin whispered in Qi Tianxiang's ear: "The old man's wife passed away a few years ago, and he lives in the back mountain with his son and daughter-in-law, and now his son is gone, the old man is not in good health, and he wants to move to the front mountain where the group is located, so that it is more convenient to live and seek medical treatment, and to take care of his grandson who is studying in the county." ”

"Is that too much to ask? Even if you don't say that the old man has lost his son, that is, his son is still alive, as an old worker in the mine, he has worked for the coal mine all his life, and now he has encountered the problem of medical treatment and housing, shouldn't the group solve it? Shouldn't they be given some care of the app? After listening to Li Zilin's introduction, Qi Tianxiang's eyes became stern, looking at Zhu Shouming, although his tone was gentle, but his heart was full of anger, "How many old workers are there in such a situation?" What problems do you need to solve? Don't tell me that the group's housing is tight, and there is no extra housing placement in each family area, but pat your heart, whether there is the position of these difficult workers in your heart, and if you understand this, you will be able to understand what to do. Even if there is no housing, or if there is no housing for the time being, can we temporarily rent some houses in the county, and adopt the method of group responsibility and individual responsibility? ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, looked at Zhu Shouming, and said word by word: "The matter of the old man, as well as the affairs of these families, what needs to be solved, whether it can be solved or not, there will be a result today." In addition, the compensation and compensation agreement for all the dead miners must be signed today, otherwise tomorrow's memorial service will be temporarily cancelled. ”

Qi Tianxiang said categorically, as if he was saying it to Zhu Shouming, and it was also like saying it to himself, it seemed that Uncle Li's matter had deeply stung him, making him make up his mind to get the final result, for the sake of the seven dead miners, and also for himself.
