After breakfast the next day, Li Xiaohe and his entourage set off.

Originally, this inspection should have been five people, but Lu Yu's order came yesterday, and he left after completing the formalities in the afternoon. Now there are only four people in the car, namely Li Xiaohe, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu and driver Cheng Jianfeng.

Maybe they are not interested in going to the countryside, or maybe they really have nothing to say, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu have not said a word since they got in the car. Li Xiaohe didn't speak, leaning on the car and thinking about things.

In this dreary atmosphere, the car left the county seat and drove towards the countryside.

Although the whole Siyuan County belongs to the micro-mound terrain, the county seat is relatively open, and the more you go to the countryside, the more you can reflect the characteristics of "micro-hills", especially in the northwest of the county.

The car flattened the road for a while, and then rammed for a while, and trekked for almost an hour to reach the border of Wuliang Township. From the first into the geographical range of Wuliang Township, it was first slowly uphill, and then slowly downhill. Walking downhill for a short time, I arrived at the seat of the Wuliang Township Government, and the car drove into the township party and government compound.

It must be known that there are county leaders coming, and there must be people who are looking at it from time to time. When the off-road vehicle entered the courtyard, all the party and government cadres in the township came out, and a whole row stood in front of the office building. Seeing that the car was approaching, a man and a woman in the center took half a step forward.

Li Xiaohe noticed that the man and the woman were Zhao Chengli, deputy secretary of Wuliang Township, and Duan Caixia, executive deputy head of the government. The former secretary and the township head have just been dismissed, and these two are temporarily presiding over the work of the township party committee and government.

As soon as the car stopped, Zhao Chengli opened the passenger door from the outside and said respectfully: "Welcome Director Li to check the work!" ”

Since being promoted to the Standing Committee, Li Xiaohe has inspected his work for the first time as a major leader, and naturally he has a certain amount of official authority. He stepped out of the car and stretched out his hand: "Secretary Zhao, it's hard!" ”

Seeing the county leader stretching out his hand, Zhao Chengli hurriedly held the other party and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard!" ”

Li Xiaohe took out his right hand and stretched out it to the next middle-aged woman: "Township Chief Duan, hard work!" ”

While shaking hands with the county leaders, Duan Caixia replied "hard": "Standing Committee Li is hard, and the director is hard." ”

Without greeting Duan Caixia too much, Li Xiaohe shook hands with everyone present and said that he had worked hard.

The members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee shook hands with him and could call him by name, and the other township cadres were very happy and even a little excited.

During this period, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu also got out of the car, met with the acting secretary and the acting township head, and said hello briefly.

"Lord Lee...... Standing Committee Lee, please! Zhao Chengli also followed Duan Caixia's salutation and made gestures.

"Where are you going?" Li Xiaohe asked rhetorically.

"Let's go have tea and rest for a while, do you think it's possible?" Zhao Chengli asked.

Li Xiaohe waved his hand: "It's early in the morning, what are you resting for?" Work directly. ”

"Standing Committee Member Li is really a model of diligence." After the flattery, Zhao Chengli made another suggestion, "The township cadres are waiting in the conference room, and they all want to listen to the instructions of Standing Committee Li with their own ears." ”

Li Xiaohe frowned slightly: "Let everyone disperse!" Find a place to hear about the flood relief work first. ”

After being rejected twice in a row, Zhao Chengli's face was slightly embarrassed, and he immediately nodded and responded: "It's okay, it's okay, Li Standing Committee please." ”

Li Xiaohe was not polite, and walked first, Zhao Chengli and Duan Caixia followed closely, and Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu hesitated a little and followed behind. The director of the office was not idle, and led the driver Cheng Jianfeng to his house.

Under the guidance of Zhao Chengli, everyone entered the third floor of the office building and arrived at the northernmost room on the easternmost side. This is a small reception room, opposite the township secretary's office.

The leaders sat down, and the acting secretary and the township chief handed cigarettes and tea, but the three people who came did not smoke, and everyone only drank tea.

Looking at Zhao and Duan, who had just sat down, Li Xiaohe nodded and gestured: "Say it." ”

Glancing at Duan Caixia, Zhao Chengli opened his mouth: "Dear Li Standing Committee and leaders, under the correct leadership of the county party committee and the county government, with the full cooperation of the township party committee and government, and with the joint efforts of all the staff, Wuliang Township has done the following work for flood relief and disaster relief......

Although it was troublesome to listen to some definite words, Li Xiaohe did not interrupt or interject halfway, but listened to the other party all the time. Then he asked, "Is there anything to add?" ”

Duan Caixia immediately replied: "Standing Committee Li, no, the party committee and government of Wuliang Township are all acting together, and there is no distinction between you and me in flood fighting and disaster relief." ”

Li Xiaohe spoke again, and his tone was much more serious: "After listening to Secretary Zhao's report, I put forward three suggestions: first, the main body of flood control is not divided, the rights and responsibilities are unclear, and I feel that there is no law; Second, the flood control work is not clear about the priority and urgency, giving people the impression that it is grasping the eyebrows and mustaches, and there is no focus; 3. Flood prevention is better than disaster relief, and we should try to prevent it first, and then make up for it, and don't put the cart before the horse. ”

What the leader said was a suggestion, it was clearly criticism, Zhao Chengli's face couldn't help but be red and white for a while, and Duan Caixia's face was not good-looking.

With apprehension, Zhao Chengli hurriedly said: "Thanks to Standing Committee Member Li for his earnest teaching, we will immediately rectify and adjust the entire work, and strive to make the entire plan clear and more pragmatic." ”

"In this way, let's stop talking on paper, let's go to the scene and see some key areas for disaster prevention." As he spoke, Li Xiaohe stood up.

"Let's go to the river where the dead man died a few days ago, can you?" Zhao Chengli followed behind, asking for instructions.

Li Xiaohe nodded: "Yes, all of them are dead, so it is naturally the focus of prevention." ”

The group came down from the third floor, went to the courtyard, got into their cars, and ran to the place where the dead man had been.

……

After leaving the Wuliang Township Party and Government Compound, the car ran all the way to the southwest, all the way uphill slowly. After walking more than 10 kilometers, turn right and come to the gravel road.

After walking two or three kilometers, the car in the township stopped, and Cheng Jianfeng immediately stopped the car.

Zhao Chengli and Duan Caixia got out of the car and walked quickly towards the off-road vehicle behind.

Without waiting for others to open the door, Li Xiaohe had already gotten out of the car by himself and walked towards the two of them.

Stopping his steps, Zhao Chengli pointed to the front and said, "The bodies of those two people were found there." ”

Li Xiaohe did not pick up the stubble, but walked in the direction of the other party's finger until he walked to the bank of the river.

Zhao Chengli had already caught up, pointed to the next place in the riverbed and said: "That's it, at that time, one foot was facing east and the other was facing west, and he was holding his right hand with his left hand, lying face down." It seems that the two of them seem to have fallen into the water together, and it is estimated that one of them fell into the water first, and the other person went to pull it again, but they both fell down and both rushed here. ”

Li Xiaohe noticed that the place Zhao Chengli was referring to was wider than the entire river. To be precise, there is an extra semi-circular depression, and it is precisely because of this depression that the bodies of the two people are blocked, otherwise they would not know how to rush there.

Looking at the entire river, Li Xiaohe asked: "Judging from the difference between the riverbank and the riverbed, the water was not too deep when the flood occurred, why did the two adults wash away?" ”

"This, maybe the water is too urgent, these two people may not have paid attention at that time." Zhao Chengli gave a vague reply.

After a little hesitation, Li Xiaohe asked: "How far did you rush people away at that time, why did they all die?" ”

"At that time...... In this way, Li Standing Committee, let's go up a little further, take the car, and then point it to you when we get to the ground. After Zhao Chengli finished speaking, he looked at the other party and waited for the next show.

After answering "yes", Li Xiaohe turned around and ran to the car.

Everyone got back into the car and walked forward again.

After getting into the car, Li Xiaohe noticed that not far from the river bank, there were more than a dozen houses, some of which were occupied, and some of which seemed to be empty.

After continuing to drive slowly uphill for about two kilometers, the township car stopped, and Zhao Chengli and Duan Caixia got out of the car.

Li Xiaohe and others also got out of the car immediately.

Led Li Xiaohe to the shore, Zhao Cheng used his hand to pull it: "It is estimated that those two fell from this place." According to an old man in the village, it seems that when he sees someone here at home, when he comes out of the house, there is no one in sight. The old man felt that the person had walked away, and he thought that he was dazzled, so he didn't think much about it. It wasn't until the family called out that the old man realized that the two might have fallen into the river, so everyone went all the way to find them. ”

After listening to what the other party said, Li Xiaohe did not answer, but turned his head to look. Standing in this place, looking at the puddle that blocked the body just now, there was a drop of at least fifteen degrees. Don't look at this degree distribution on the two-kilometer river, but when the river is turbulent, these fifteen degrees are enough to increase the speed of the water several times, which is really fatal. Looking down at the river bank at your feet, the bank is uneven, especially the one under your feet is much wider, and it is obvious that it has collapsed when the river washes away.

Retracting his gaze, Li Xiaohe asked: "Since the river here has such a big drop, why haven't you thought of dealing with it for so many years, why don't you make demands with the residents next to you?" ”

"Well, in the past few years, I have been doing organizational work first, and then party affairs, so I don't know much about the situation here. It is now being understood, and ways are being found to deal with it. Zhao Chengli obviously wanted to take off his responsibility.

Li Xiaohe let out an "oh" and turned his head to look at Duan Caixia.

Knowing what it meant, Duan Caixia snorted and said: "I, I, although I have been a regular executive in the past two years, I am mainly responsible for culture, education, health, and agriculture, and I don't know much about this." ”

His eyes swept over the faces of Zhao and Duan, and Li Xiaohe smiled coldly: "Two, hearing you two say this, I suddenly have a strong worry. It's the rainy season, and there has just been a fatal accident here, and you two are the temporary leaders of the party and government, and you don't know anything. I doubt you're up to the task, and I'm afraid of a similar dangerous accident again. ”

Hearing this, Zhao and Duan's faces turned green. It's easy to say anything else, but now when it comes to "competent", it's a problem. Although Li Xiaohe in front of him is only the director of the county party committee office and does not have much real power, but he is standing behind the secretary of the county party committee.
