"The mayor is our role model and can take every opportunity to do ideological mobilization work for us." Xiang Wanqing said: "The old journalists in Taiwan said that earthquakes, wars, fires, floods, plagues, etc. are disasters for mankind, but they are wealth for journalists, because we have found the source of news and can make a big fuss." ”

Yi Haitao joked: "Then please ask the reporter comrades to make a good article on this flash flood outbreak and strive to get more disaster relief funds from the province." ”

"It seems that the mayor is really thinking about work all the time." Xiang Wanqing said with a smile: "My news point this time is not the flash flood, we have reported a lot on the disaster, this time I want to report on the issue of changing the style of the organ, I wonder if Mayor Ludao has any opinions?" ”

Yi Haitao smiled: "To reporters, you journalists have your particularity, and I don't dare to criticize them." As he said this, he was very happy in his heart, and if the report of this change in the style of the organ came out, the provincial leaders would definitely notice it, and the foundation was laid for him to become a mayoral candidate as he wished.

Nanling County is not far from Qingyuan, and it takes more than two hours to drive.

The first stop of their condolences and investigation was Xinglin Township, which was the most severely affected.

On the road, all they saw was a mess, with peanuts in the fields crushed by the dirt, broken watermelons everywhere, and tomatoes rotting in the mud......

When the car arrived in Xinglin Township, Ma Xingwang, secretary of the Nanling County Party Committee, and Fu Damu, the county magistrate, were already waiting on the dirt road.

After Yi Haitao and his entourage got out of the car, they took the condolences along the way to inspect it.

Xiang Wanqing took Feng Zichen and followed closely behind them.

Several farmers are salvaging their vegetables in the fields, some clearing the soil in the rice fields, some picking edible vegetables.

Yi Haitao looked at it and remembered that when the natural disaster occurred in the third year, his own land was affected, and his parents were working while sighing, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour. He walked into the field, leaned down, and pulled a watermelon vine with his hand, but there was not a single watermelon.

When everyone saw Yi Haitao get off the ground, they all followed.

At this time, the peasants who were working in the fields gathered around one after another, gathering more and more around Yi Haitao and others, and there were dozens of people.

Yi Haitao looked at these simple peasants, as if he saw his parents and brothers, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you have suffered, and I came to visit you on behalf of the municipal party committee and municipal government." Disasters are merciless, and the government will do its best to help you tide over them. We ask everyone to believe that difficulties are temporary, and that as long as we have firm faith and work together, there will be no natural disasters that cannot be overcome. ”

Yi Haitao's words were very affectionate, and the audience burst into warm applause.

An old man standing in the front row couldn't help but wipe away his tears, babbling and saying: "Thank you to the party, the government, and the leaders for their care." ”

At this time, Feng Zichen suddenly handed the microphone up, and the old man looked at the black and long thing, he had never seen it before, and he didn't know what it was, so he panicked and staggered back a few steps.

Fu Damu, the county magistrate on the side, helped him.

When the old man saw it, he became more and more panicked, and hurriedly broke free from Fu Damu's support and got into the crowd.

Fu Damu turned his back to the condolences staff and scolded softly: "Second Ao, dog meat can't be on the main table." ”

Someone in the crowd raised their arms and took the lead in shouting slogans.

"Thank you Mayor Yi for your care!"

"Salute to Mayor Yi!"

"Mayor Yi is heart-to-heart with the people of Nanling!"

……

Xiang Wanqing stood aside, looking at the crowd around her, listening to the loud slogans, she felt very wrong, she peeked at Fu Damu and Ma Xingwang respectively, and found that the expressions on their faces were a little weird.

Fu Damu probably noticed that Xiang Wanqing was looking at them, and looked into the distance with his eyes avoided.

It was the first time Feng Zichen saw such an excited cheering scene of the crowd, and he was more excited than the villagers shouting slogans, running back and forth with the camera to record and interview, and was very busy.

I don't know where a young man ran out of Lu Dao, helping her carry the equipment, holding the microphone, and behaving very professionally, Xiang Wanqing stopped stepping forward, and Feng Zichen was busy.

Along the rugged mountain road, Yi Haitao and the others continued to walk up the mountain.

Everywhere he went, Yi Haitao arranged for the staff to distribute condolences to the villagers along the way, and many villagers came forward to shake hands with Yi Haitao cordially, express their feelings and express their gratitude.

Yi Haitao stopped and asked the elderly, women and children about the cold, whether there would be old people and women holding Yi Haitao's hand and shedding tears of excitement, choking up and saying thank you.

These touching scenes were filmed by Feng Zichen one by one.

Yi Haitao was in high spirits, and he walked all the way.

After inspecting the disaster and distributing condolences and condolences, it was time for lunch, Ma Xingwang and Fu Damu came up and asked Yi Haitao if he was going back to the county seat for dinner.

Yi Haitao said: "No, we are here to condole, not to cause trouble to the disaster area." Just find us a place to sit and offer some boiled water. ”

Seeing that Yi Haitao's attitude was very resolute, and the meeting room of the township government was too small to accommodate so many people, Fu Damu instructed the secretary of the township party committee of Xinglin Township to take Yi Haitao and his party to the top of the mountain primary school.

Today's Peak Primary School is no longer what it used to be, and the environment has been greatly improved.

Wei Shijie's Century Sunshine has used the Peak Primary School as a regular support point for the company, sending some food, clothing and school supplies every once in a while, and they have funded the renovation of the playground, purchased basketball hoops and table tennis tables, and replaced the bamboo poles that used to hang red flags with stainless steel pipes.

In particular, they built a strong fence for the school.

In the past, the river behind the school would overflow and the dormitories and classrooms would be flooded, but this time, the rocky fence blocked the torrent and mudslide, and the students and the school building were unharmed.

From a distance, the school building of the Peak Primary School has become the best building in Xinglin Township.

After the disaster, the students had been on vacation, the principal of the school opened a classroom for the members of the condolence group to sit in, and the clerk in the township brought several large boiling water bottles and was busy pouring water for the leaders.

Ma Xingwang and Fu Damu apologized vigorously, making the leaders feel wronged.

After everyone sat down, Huang Rushan said to the members of the condolence group: "Now we start eating." In order to avoid causing trouble to the grassroots, in accordance with Mayor Yi's instructions, our government office has prepared a simple lunch for everyone, please come and pick it up. ”

A female staff member of the Municipal Agricultural Bureau raised her voice and shouted: "Come on, come on, start distributing lunch, this is a real free lunch, no charge." ”

Everyone smiled and went to get it, and what they received was a plastic bag, which was opened and contained two pieces of bread, a bag of mustard, a sausage and a small bottle of mineral water.

Along the way, everyone felt a little hungry, these things that are not usually eaten, once in a while, everyone actually ate very deliciously.

Yi Haitao was no exception, he received the food bag and sat at the desk to eat with everyone.

The county leaders had already received a notice from the city government that they should bring their own lunch at noon, and they had to follow suit and prepare a boxed lunch for everyone.

Ma Xingwang and Fu Damu came over and sat on the desk next to Yi Haitao to eat together.

Yi Haitao only glanced at them, and as soon as he looked up, he saw that the camera was aimed at him, and Yi Haitao didn't care, he still ate bread and mustard with relish.

Feng Zichen took the microphone and came over for an interview and said, "May I ask Mayor Yi, how did you come up with the idea that leading cadres would bring their own lunches to the countryside?" ”

Yi Haitao swallowed the bread in his mouth before saying: "It is nothing new for leading cadres to bring their own dry food to the countryside, but this fine tradition has been forgotten by us. Although this is a trivial matter, it reflects a major matter through this trivial matter, that is, how our leading cadres can change their work style, lighten the peasants' burdens, reduce the troubles at the grassroots level, and turn going to the countryside and going deep into the grassroots to solve the practical difficulties of the common people in a real sense. ”

Feng Zichen asked: "Mayor Yi, do you think this style can be persisted in?" ”

Yi Haitao said: "Yes, at least I can, at least during my tenure as a city leader, I will persevere!" Just now I was thinking that if our affected people could eat ham sausages, bread and mineral water every day, they would be very satisfied. What else can't we do compared to them? ”

Feng Zichen suddenly asked a difficult question: "Mayor Yi, I take the liberty of asking, if you accompany the leaders of the province to inspect the grassroots level, will you insist on doing this?" ”

Yi Haitao said firmly: "I will, follow the customs, I think the provincial leaders will also understand and support me." The last time Secretary Nan inspected the Jiangbei Development Zone, he squatted on the roadside with the college students who started a business and ate a boxed lunch, which has set a good example for us. ”

After the interview, Feng Zichen put away the microphone and said excitedly: "Mayor Yi, you really moved me!" ”

Yi Haitao was also affected by it, and said emotionally: "Comrade reporters have worked hard, you should also hurry up and eat." In the face of disaster, our mood is the same. ”

It can be seen that Yi Haitao is satisfied with the condolences in the morning. He thought: If the contents of today's interviews can be published in the provincial newspapers, they will certainly set off a wave of study among cadres at all levels throughout the province, and my name will become louder and louder in the ears of the provincial leaders.

While eating, a woman's voice came from the school gate, and she shouted: "Mayor Yi, Mayor Yi, I want to see Mayor Yi." ”

Most of the people in the classroom were taken aback and put down their food and water.

Huang Rushan walked to the door and saw that the person who came was a peasant woman, and she shouted and ignored the staff's obstruction, and went straight to the classroom where the condolence group was eating.

Is she here to get in the way?
