Since the morning, the sound of firecrackers has sounded one after another in Yishan County, sometimes sparse, sometimes resounding, making this originally closed mountainous county immediately lively.

Today is the first seventh, and according to local customs, the deceased are generally buried on this day. All relatives and friends must come at this time to make a final memorial service, and then send the deceased to the earth for peace.

According to the custom, all the relatives who come to worship are coming, and at the same time of offering incense and worship, the funeral family should fire a cannon to thank the relatives and friends who came to say goodbye on behalf of the deceased, and then the official relatives kneel and thank them, and then the ceremonial procession composed of family members will lead the guests to their homes to rest and wait.

Today's situation is quite special, the funerals of the seven victims were all held in the civic center, which also eliminated the cumbersome process of welcoming guests from the entrance of the village, and instead started at the gate of the compound of the civic center and ended at the entrance of the hall, and the cannons were held in the courtyard.

The funeral ceremonies held by the seven families at the same time, the procedures of greeting, thanksgiving, worshipping, guiding, and so on will be completed one by one, and the time and ritual will become extraordinarily long, and it will also require a lot of effort to prepare.

Therefore, at yesterday's meeting, it was proposed that all these activities should be waived, or merged, and each family should be arranged together, and after the relatives arrived, the welcome and thank-you activities would be arranged at one time, which would not only save time, but also avoid confusion and clutter.

For such a proposal, Qi Tianxiang refused without thinking, not enough time can wait, the procedure is cumbersome and can be adjusted, but the tradition and customs must be respected, and the family should do their best to handle the funeral, which is not only a consolation to the deceased, but also the best way for relatives to express their grief.

Qi Tianxiang's opinion not only reflects the government's concern for the funeral, but also fully demonstrates the respect for tradition as a provincial governor, as well as the care and concern for the family of the deceased. Thus the funeral order of the first tradition and the latter modern was determined. It is to first hold their own worship activities according to traditional customs, and then hold a unified funeral ceremony, after the memorial service around the city, then hold a grand memorial service, and finally send the deceased to the public cemetery.

Qi Tianxiang's words were brief but unquestionable, and were recognized and welcomed by the families of the victims.

The families also fully understood the difficulty of the overall funeral activities, and all worship activities were arranged in advance, so that as soon as the day was set, firecrackers and drumming began to begin.

It was in this noisy and noisy atmosphere that Qi Tianxiang woke up from his sleep, and after a simple wash, Liang Zhixin and Wang Minglun came to knock on the door, and after having breakfast in the restaurant together, under the suggestion of Liang Zhixin, Qi Tianxiang and his entourage took a car to Yilong Group, a leading agricultural enterprise 100 kilometers away, for inspection and research.

Originally, according to the arrangement, a meeting was to be held in the morning to plan and summarize the relevant details and content of the commendation activities, but Qi Tianxiang thought about it again and again, and cautiously suggested that the meeting be canceled and rescheduled. After all, during the funeral activities, it is inappropriate and unkind to hold a meeting to study the celebration and commendation activities.

Later, at Liang Zhixin's suggestion, I went to the neighborhood to take a look, because the worship activities of each family, according to time and customs, are to end at noon, and the time for mourning is after lunch, and the memorial service can not start until the afternoon.

In the car, Liang Zhixin introduced the situation of Yilong Group to Qi Tianxiang, which is a diversified group enterprise of private breeding and processing and agricultural product production, which is restructured and developed from the original township enterprises, and meat products have covered the whole province and radiated to several surrounding provinces, and also occupies a very important share in the national agricultural and livestock and meat deep processing enterprises.

Qi Tianxiang listened to Liang Zhixin's introduction, and seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact he was a little absent-minded, and the situation he heard last night kept coming to his mind, Wang Jinhu's frightened expression, Liu Siwa's indignant depression, and the truth revealed by Xie Tianqing all made Qi Tianxiang feel uneasy. Thinking of the families of the seven victims who held the funeral in grief, and then thinking about the dozens of victims who were still hiding in the Black Duck Mountain mine and could not see the light of day, as well as the families who were closely watched, there was nowhere to talk about the suffering, nowhere to shed tears, and they could only silently bear the pain and grief of losing their loved ones. How to live such a life is known only to the difficulties ahead.

The compensation and compensation corresponding to the mining accident will not be without, and it may be higher than the families of the victims who have made the news of their deaths public. But these high-level parts come at the cost of continuing to conceal the truth about the loss of their loved ones. In the days to come, it is hard to imagine how long these families who have lost their sons, husbands, or fathers will have to live as usual, fabricate the fact that their loved ones have disappeared for various reasons, and show peace and calm, especially for the surviving wives.

At this time, to see the political performance project arranged by Liang Zhixin, Qi Tianxiang was reluctant anyway. Thinking of this, Qi Tianxiang's heart ached faintly, and he was a little out of breath. The physical discomfort suddenly gave Qi Tianxiang a hint, and he also had a reason to refuse and leave Yishan County, so he raised his voice and said, "Stop." ”

As the medium-sized bus stopped, Qi Tianxiang covered his heart with his hand, and said with a little difficulty to Liang Zhixin and the others, who were looking at him with concern: "I suddenly feel uncomfortable, so I got out of the car and walked." ”

Qi Tianxiang said, pretending to be difficult, and wanted to get up from his seat, but was stopped by Liang Zhixin, and said with concern: "You must not move this time, rest quietly for a while, and we will go to the hospital immediately." ”

Liang Zhixin persuaded Qi Tianxiang, raised his voice and hurriedly said to the driver: "Turn around and go to the hospital quickly." ”

The medium-sized bus quickly turned around and drove towards Shengli Hospital, Liang Zhixin made a phone call in a panic and informed the hospital to prepare for first aid, with an anxious and nervous look. Qi Tianxiang knew that these emotions were all normal reactions from the depths of his heart, after all, the governor fell ill during the investigation, even if he would not be held responsible, but the self-blame in his heart could not be ignored. As a result, a trace of warmth rose in Qi Tianxiang's heart, and it was slightly accompanied by deep guilt, which was difficult to calm down for a long time.
