Returning to the county seat from his old township, Wang Qiao immediately returned to the established track, led the county sanitation office to begin preparations for the Spring Festival, and was busy every day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

At 10 o'clock in the evening of the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve, Deputy County Governor Gong Fangping summoned the leaders in charge of Chengguan Town, the Urban Management Committee, the Safety Supervision Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau to the county government compound, where they boarded a seven-seater commercial vehicle to inspect the streets and alleys.

The firecrackers of the Spring Festival every year add joy to the festival, but the relevant business departments are worried about firecrackers because of firecrackers; Second, it is afraid that key locations such as gas stations, gas storage stations, and gunpowder depots will be affected by firecrackers; Three are afraid of septic tank explosion. The houses and key locations are owned by people who are cared for, and the problem is slightly smaller. The septic tank nominally belongs to every resident, but in fact everyone doesn't care, and septic tank explosions are a common occurrence. This is also one of the reasons why neither Chengguan Town nor the Urban Management Committee want to manage septic tanks.

As it approached twelve o'clock, firecrackers rang out and the sky over the city was dazzling.

Several people were standing on the side of the street. The tall Gong Fangping wore a cotton hat with ears and a large sunglasses on his head, shrunk his neck, and said loudly: "At this time of year, I have to stand on the street, and the cannons fly in the sky, so as not to be bombed by mistake." ”

Wang Qiao pulled up the thick hat on his coat to protect his head, and looked up at the glittering sky.

In the deafening explosion, Gong Fangping said to Wang Qiao, who was standing beside him: "In half an hour, if there is no call, you will be safe today, and you can go home and spend the New Year in peace." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiao muttered in his heart: "Every time I hear this kind of thing, something will definitely happen." This is the law of trouble. ”

The mobile phone in the pocket vibrate, and when Wang Qiao took out the phone, he saw that Gong Fangping and Deputy Director Yan were also taking the phone.

Gong Fangping saw that the call was the number of the county government's duty room, and scolded hatefully: "I'm really a crow's mouth." Say whatever you want. ”

Wang Qiao answered the phone and said to Xiao Lin in the office: "What's the matter?" Xiaolin said: "Director Wang, I received a call from the government's general duty room that a septic tank exploded on Laibin Road, injuring people, and the specific situation is not clear." A leader of the urban management committee was notified to go to the scene immediately. ”

Gong Fangping took the phone away and said, "What are you guys about?" ”

Deputy Director Yan said: "I received a notice from the duty room of the Safety Supervision Bureau that the septic tank on Laibin Road exploded. ”

Wang Qiao said succinctly: "The septic tank on Laibin Road exploded. ”

"This shows that the urban management committee and the safety supervision bureau are on duty, and the information is unimpeded." Gong Fangping arranged for Section Chief Sun of the county emergency office to say: "You immediately call the mayor of Chengguan Town, Yao Xianghui, and inform him to come to the scene immediately, and a few of us will arrive at the scene first." ”

Several people got into the commercial vehicle with solemn faces and went straight to the scene of the explosion.

At the intersection of Laibin Road, Deputy Director Yan said: "I suggest parking here, and the county magistrate Gong should not go over first." A few of us went to see what was going on. "He often deals with security incidents, and knows that sometimes it is not necessarily good for the top leader to go, and there is no room for manoeuvre at all.

Gong Fangping nodded in agreement and said, "Wait for Yao Xianghui to come, he will preside over the on-site meeting, and you will actively cooperate." ”

Wang Qiao, Yang Mingfu, Deputy Director Yan and others got out of the car, and after walking dozens of meters, they saw a group of people gathered together.

Wang Qiao pulled an old man who watched the excitement. A few words to learn the real situation.

The site of the explosion was on the left side of an old house, and six prefabricated panels were placed on top of the septic tank. Form a small dam. A grandmother and her two grandsons set off firecrackers at Xiaopingba, and in addition to the ordinary firecrackers, the little grandson was also setting off firecrackers. After the drill cannon was ignited, it swirled all over the ground and drilled into the septic tank through the small cracks in the prefabricated panels.

The septic tank was built in the early 80's and is tightly covered with six prefabricated panels. The narrow gap between the prefabricated slabs becomes the exhaust channel for the biogas.

The property rights of the septic tank belong to the entire residential building, and the residents should also make up the money, because most of the residents of this building are employees of bankrupt and laid-off enterprises, everyone has a tight hand, and the septic tank has not been cleaned for several years. A large amount of flammable and explosive gases such as methane have accumulated.

The drill cannon caused a large explosion in the septic tank.

Wang Qiao squeezed into the crowd and met Mao Ming, director of the neighborhood committee. Mao Ming was at the scene, and Wang Qiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. In this chaotic situation, the comrades of the neighborhood committee are familiar with the locals and can often play an unexpected role.

When Mao Ming was anxious, he also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Qiao, Yang Mingfu and others. As a cadre of the neighborhood committee, he has no duties and powers, and he relies on one mouth, and with the heads of functional departments on the scene, things are much easier to do.

Yang Mingfu also knew Mao Ming, and asked eagerly: "Did you hurt anyone?" ”

Mao Ming said: "The six prefabricated panels were blown over, and the child fell into the septic tank, and was pulled up by the adults next to him in time, and now it has been sent to the People's Hospital and is being rescued." ”

Four of the six prefabricated panels were blown off, and the two on the side were not broken, but were thrown into the air by the shock wave, and after a few turns, they landed four or five meters away from the septic tank.

Wang Qiao would talk about the dangers of septic tanks at meetings before the Spring Festival, but he was more of a parrot, and he didn't expect that the power of the septic tank explosion was so huge, and he was secretly stunned after seeing the scene.

Yang Mingfu, Wang Qiao, and Deputy Director Yan, as well as Yao Xianghui, the mayor of Chengguan Town, and Zhao Jin, the director of the Chengguan Town Police Station, stood at the scene of the explosion and held a short meeting and discussed six measures: First, immediately set up a cordon at the scene to prevent passers-by from falling into the exposed septic tank, and Chengguan Town and the neighborhood committee sent cadres to wait on the spot; the second is to require the hospital to make every effort to rescue; Third, the police station immediately conducted an on-site investigation to find out the cause of the accident, including investigating the elderly who set off firecrackers; Fourth, Chengguan Town is responsible for restoring the site from tomorrow, and the construction team will enter the site as soon as possible; Fifth, the Safety Supervision Bureau and the Urban Management Committee are responsible for inspecting and eliminating the hidden dangers of septic tanks; Sixth, Chengguan Town dispatched cadres and comrades of the neighborhood committee to do a good job in pacifying the masses.

After setting six measures, Wang Qiao said secretly: "Fortunately, the responsibility for the septic tank is mainly responsible for Chengguan Town, otherwise the urban management committee will do this series of aftermath work." The people of the urban management committee do not know the leader of the residents' group or the building chief, and the difficulty of the work can be imagined. ”

Back in the business car, Gong Fangping listened to the six measures and said to Yao Xianghui: "You have dealt with it in a timely manner, the six measures are very effective, and you have worked hard." He immediately called the hospital and asked it not to care about the cost. Rescue the wounded at all costs.

At half past one o'clock in the morning, Gong Fangping received a call from the hospital, and his serious expression immediately eased, and said, "The injured child is out of danger, and everyone can go home and rest." Wangqiao, how many septic tanks have not been cleaned for a long time in the county. As the administrative department, the urban management committee should be well aware and give you a month to make a septic tank census form and find out the current situation of septic tanks in the county. ”

Wang Qiao said: "I will arrange the investigation immediately. ”

Gong Fangping said: "There will be a lot of firecrackers tonight, and all the firecracker garbage will be collected tomorrow morning, so that the citizens can have a clean environment when they go out." ”

Wang Qiao said: "I have already arranged, at half past five in the morning, I and the director of the sanitation center, Qiao, to check the early morning sweeping work. ”

The first and second years of junior high school. The sound of firecrackers in the county town continued, but fortunately there were no more casualties.

In the second year of junior high school, Wang Xiao returned to Changdong with his son Li Anjian. Wang Qiao and Li Ningyong invited their eldest sister and nephew to dinner at the Changdong Hotel. Wang Qiao originally wanted to find an ordinary restaurant to invite the eldest sister to dinner, but Li Ningyong thought that it was the first time to meet the eldest sister, and it was more formal, so he chose the Changdong Hotel.

A few years ago, when the Changdong Hotel was still the guest house of the Changdong County Party Committee, Wang Xiao and his lover Li Yinxiang used to live here. Revisiting the old place, things are not people. Let her sigh infinitely.

After the meal, the three of them went their separate ways, and Wang Xiao took his son back to his hometown. Li Ningyong went to Jingzhou to see his grandparents. Wang Qiao returned to the office and continued to help Le Bin on duty.

Wang Qiao estimated that his sister had returned to her hometown and opened the landline at home, "Sister, I haven't found a chance to ask you just now." What do you think of Xiao Li? ”

"Beautiful, good family background."

"I know she's pretty, that's not the point. What do you think of her and me? ”

"She's smart and she's nice to you. It's just that there is no in-depth contact, and I dare not make assertions. ”

"Sister. Don't play tricks in front of me, tell the truth. ”

Wang Xiaozi said carefully: "I think Xiao Li is more utilitarian, and compared with many young girls who love fantasy, she has too clear understanding of reality. If you go well, she will be a good helper, and your marriage should be happy. If you don't go well, she won't be the wife of the Decembrists. ”

The Decembrists were the revolutionary party of the Russian aristocracy, killed after the failed military coup against the tsar and serfdom, exiled to exile. The "wives of the Decembrists" were their wives, most of whom were of noble origins, and as usual, the nobility could not endure suffering, but some of them offered to the Tsar to be exiled to Siberia, where their husbands lived, and some were unmarried but strongly requested to marry their exiled fiancés after the defeat of the revolution. "The Decembrist's wife" later became a synonym for a lover who lived and died together and never abandoned.

In the third year of junior high school, Wang Qiao accepted the invitation of the Qiu family and went to Fenglin Villa for dinner.

Fenglin Villa is located in the remaining veins of Bayue Mountain, which is about 10 kilometers away from the county seat, with green trees and picturesque scenery, and is a key scenic spot in Changdong County. Many years ago, the Qiu family contracted a mountain forest through a distant relative, built a farmhouse, and named it Fenglin Villa. Every time after the Spring Festival, more than a dozen celebrities from all walks of life in Jingzhou and Changdong attend the party, which is jokingly called the Fenglin Party by the people in the small circle.

Le Bin has been promoted by Qiu Dahai many times, belongs to the Qiu faction, and began to participate in Fenglin Villa a few years ago. He saw Wang Qiao walking into the hall from afar, and he was both puzzled and surprised.

Wang Qiao walked straight to Le Bin's side, sat down, and said, "Director Le, where are you going to play during the Spring Festival." ”

Le Bin said: "Our urban management committee is a hard-working person, where we dare to go far, we will mix in the small circle of Jingzhou." ”

Li Ningyong came to Le Bin with a plate of big red oranges and said, "Uncle Le eats oranges, you have to take more care of Wang Qiao." ”

"You don't need me to take care of it, Director Qiao is very capable, and he can succeed anywhere." Le Bin knew that the Qiu family was interested in Wang Qiao, and he didn't expect to let Wang Qiao participate in the Fenglin party in a short time, and secretly felt that Wang Qiao could not only do things, but also have a deep scheming.

He smiled again: "When eating the reunion dinner during the Spring Festival, Xiao Li must participate as a family member of the urban management committee. ”

Wang Qiao said: "That day, Ning Yong's unit was also in the regimental year. Besides, I don't know if she'd like to come yet. ”

Li Ningyong raised his fist and gently slapped Wang Qiao's shoulder, and said, "You didn't ask for my opinion, if you ask for my opinion, I will eat a few bites in the unit, and I will come over to participate in Director Le's dinner." ”

Le Bin pointed at Wang Qiao and said, "Director Wang, this is your mistake." ”

While chatting, two middle-aged people with powerful aura walked over, one was the tall and burly Qiu Dahai, and the other was the elegant Pengke County Magistrate. The people sitting in the tea hall stood up one after another, greeted and shook hands with the two leaders.
