In late June, the rain finally stopped, the river basin began to calm down, and the summer flood finally passed.

In the past 20 days or so, all provinces along the entire river basin have been "lively" and have composed one heroic song after another of the joint efforts of the military and the people, the concerted efforts of the top and bottom, and the heroic struggle against floods.

Although there has also been a phenomenon of embankment bursting in some areas, resulting in certain losses of personnel and property, as far as the overall situation is concerned, the great battle of flood fighting and rescue has been successful, and under the wise leadership of the provincial party committee and government, it has won a comprehensive victory in the province's flood fighting and rescue operations.

The National Defense General clearly defined this basin-wide flood as a "once-in-30-year" catastrophic flood.

After the great victory of fighting floods and rescuing people, it is natural to hold a grand celebration and commendation meeting.

As soon as he got to work on this day, Fan Hongyu sat down in the office, and was about to deal with some urgent official business, when the phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, I'm Fan Hongyu."

"Hehe, county magistrate, do you have time? Come to my office and sit down and talk about some work. ”

On the other side of the microphone, Lu Jiu's voice came, and it sounded more pleasant.

The flood finally passed, and the whole county breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, please wait, I'll go over right away."

Two or three minutes later, Fan Hongyu came to Lu Jiu's office with his briefcase. Lu Jiu is still the old rule, waiting for the arrival of the county magistrate in the hospitality sofa area early.

"Come, county magistrate......"

As soon as Fan Hongyu sat down, Lu Jiu picked up a cigarette and handed one to Fan Hongyu, Fan Hongyu lit a fire for him, and the two swallowed the clouds. It's not that smoking is a must, it's just a way to adjust the mood of the conversation.

"County magistrate, the flood has finally passed, and in general, our county has passed the test of this catastrophic flood. The day before yesterday, the Provincial Defense Command issued a notice asking us to report the list of advanced collectives and individuals in the flood fighting and rescue work, and in a few days, the province will hold a celebration and commendation meeting. Hehe, this is a big and good thing, so I asked the county magistrate to come over and discuss it together, let's get a preliminary opinion first, and then go to the Standing Committee to discuss it. ”

After chatting a few words of gossip, Lu Jiu cut to the chase.

Fan Hongyu also saw this document two days ago. The work related to the celebration and commendation, especially the celebration and commendation meeting held in the province, was naturally led by the county party committee, and Fan Hongyu did not express any views. However, the real commander of the campaign in this flood fighting and rescue work is the county magistrate of Fan County, and who should be commended and who should not be commended will naturally consult his opinion in the end.

Lu Jiu said, picked up a list from his side, handed it to Fan Hongyu, and said: "This is a list made by the county party committee office, the government office and the county defense command after preliminary discussions, the county magistrate is the front-line commander of the flood fighting and rescue campaign, please take a look, is this list appropriate?" ”

Fan Hongyu took it.

According to the document issued by the Provincial Prevention and Control Authority, each county has three quotas for advanced units in flood fighting and rescue, and the quota for advanced individuals is not 100 percent fixed, but only an approximate data range. Generally speaking, each county will be selected with the highest limit. The advanced individual at the provincial level is a very important honor, and the opportunity is rare, so naturally it cannot be "wasted".

The county flood control and drought control headquarters is the first of the advanced units, followed by the Shiyuan District Party Committee and the Yunhu Town Basic Militia Battalion.

It should be said that the list of advanced units that Chen Xia and the others have come up with has been carefully considered, and it can be regarded as seeking truth from facts. Not to mention the county prevention command, it is the central command organ of the county's flood control and rescue. The length of the flood control embankment in Shiyuan District is second only to Luhua Town, in this flood fighting and rescue campaign, the Party Committee and District Office of Shiyuan District performed excellently, and successfully completed the renovation and reinforcement project of the flood control embankment before the arrival of the flood. It is very appropriate to select the Party Committee of Shiyuan District as an advanced collective for flood fighting and rescue. In the process of flood fighting and rescue, the whole battalion of the basic militia of Yunhu Town was dispatched, and a total of more than 430 key militia members were dispatched to fight on the front line of flood fighting and rescue, and many cadres and soldiers were bravely wounded, making important contributions to the county's flood fighting and rescue work, giving full play to the role of the basic militia as the "vanguard and commando", and being selected as an advanced collective for flood fighting and rescue, which is well deserved.

After the advanced collective, there is the list of advanced individuals.

Comrade Fan Hongyu, deputy secretary of the Yunhu County Party Committee and acting county magistrate of the Yunhu County People's Government, ranked first among the advanced individuals.

He was followed by Wei Qingping, deputy county magistrate and executive deputy commander of the Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.

Gu Yunfeng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shiyuan District, and others are also on the list.

A whole page of material paper was densely written, and there were nearly 30 people, of whom cadres accounted for two-thirds, and the ordinary people had less than 10 people.

This is just a list, and there will naturally be detailed explanatory materials about the outstanding deeds of these advanced collectives and individuals.

Fan Hongyu's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Lu Jiu, who had been carefully observing Fan Hongyu's expression, asked with a smile, "What is the county magistrate's opinion?" ”

"I don't think this list is very appropriate."

Fan Hongyu didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly.

"How?"

Fan Hongyu put the list on the coffee table in front of him, stretched out his fingers, tapped lightly, and said, "First of all, the advanced collective." The Shiyuan District Party Committee and the Yunhu Town Basic Militia Battalion are very suitable, I think it's okay. However, in order, the basic militia battalion of Yunhu Town should be ranked first, and the Party Committee of Shiyuan District should be ranked second. I don't want to evaluate the county defense command, commanding the county's flood control is the basic work responsibility of the county defense command, and it is difficult to convince the public if it is rated as an advanced collective. ”

Lu Jiu said with a smile: "I basically agree with the county magistrate's opinion. The basic militia battalion of Yunhu Town can be ranked first, and the party committee of Shiyuan District is still ranked second. The county defense refers to the third place. In my opinion, the advanced collectives should still evaluate the prevention of accusations. Although it is the job, but the work is done well, then it should be commended. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished. Rewards and punishments are clear, which is fair and reasonable. The scope of the work of prevention refers to being so narrow, except for flood prevention and drought control, they are not given advanced in these two kinds of work, and they have no other opportunity to evaluate the advanced. County magistrate, you say that's the case, right? This is basically the case in county-level units. ”

It should be said that Lu Jiu's words also make sense.

All departments are in charge of their own work, and it is really not easy to make achievements without their work.

Moreover, the three advanced collectives, the Shiyuan District Party Committee and the Yunhu Town Basic Militia Battalion are not directly subordinate units of the county government, and if the county defense finger is removed, it means that in this flood fight and rescue work, the units directly under the county government will not even have an advanced collective. I'm afraid that everyone will be chilled, and following County Magistrate Fan is really not "interesting".

Fan Hongyu groaned slightly, then bowed his head slightly, and said, "Okay, I agree with the secretary's opinion." Let the advanced collectives be settled in this way. However, this advanced individual also rated me, which is really a bit of a joke, too unserious. ”

Lu Jiu smiled: "The county magistrate is too modest, this time, I don't think they are joking." If this advanced individual is missing you, I am afraid that all the cadres in the county will not be convinced. ”

After a pause, Lu Jiu continued: "To tell you the truth, county magistrate, I have worked in the lake area for 20 years, and the county magistrate personally went to the front line of flood fighting, and commanded everyone to retreat, but he was swept away by the flood. This is the first time I've seen such a situation. If we treat our work in this way, we cannot be rated as advanced individuals, and can other comrades who are rated as advanced individuals feel at ease? ”

Fan Hongyu sighed and said, "Secretary, I personally thank you for your care and love for me. Anyway, the bridgehead burst the embankment, and three people died. The facts are in front of us, and I, the commander of flood prevention and drought control, have direct leadership responsibility. If I am rated as an advanced individual, what will the cadres and the masses think? The flood drowned people, and the flood control commander could still be rated advanced. After that, we no longer have the ability to be strict with any kind of work. Secretary, this precedent cannot be set. To tell you the truth, secretary, I have already written a report and asked the county party committee and the municipal party committee and government to punish me. Although the flood has passed, the review work cannot be saved, and it must be done well and in a down-to-earth manner. Only when meritorious service is rewarded, there are punishments, and rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished, so that our future work can be carried out well. ”

The smile on Lu Jiu's face gradually faded, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

Fan Hongyu really didn't plan to stop.

The meaning of the words could not be clearer, and he would ask the county party committee for punishment. The embankment at the head of the bridge burst, and Fan Hongyu was only indirectly responsible. Even he has to ask for punishment, so Zhou Ziqi, secretary of the Party Committee of Luhua Town, and Lu Minfeng, the mayor of Luhua Town, who are directly responsible, can't run away.

"Secretary, Huo Hualong left his post without permission and had a car accident, and the county did not tolerate his wrongdoing, and severely criticized him. Luhua Town burst the embankment, we did not have any measures to deal with it, and it was rated as advanced. If others don't say it, will Ho Hualong be convinced? Will the other cadres of the Peace Zone be convinced? We must say behind our backs that our county party committee and county government are eccentric. If a bowl of water is not level, it will be difficult for the cadre team to carry it. ”

Fan Hongyu said very sincerely.

Lu Jiu's heart was indescribably crooked.

Comrade Xiao Fan, is there really no room for negotiation and accommodation?

You hold on to Zhou Ziqi so stubbornly, you must slap me Lu Jiu's face, what good will it do you? You have already slapped Xie Houming and Qi Zhenghong, and now you are throwing a big-eared scraper at me Lu Jiu, do you really want to offend several major comrades in the team?

It's too strong, so you should think about the consequences!
