Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fire and Ice

Inscription: The sky is like a spring dream, and there is nowhere to find it

Zhang Dawei's arrival alarmed many villagers. Some villagers watched from afar and shouted boldly: "How can we live if we close the road and the village and the door!" "Pig feed, fish feed, chicken feed can't be brought in, they don't care. My pig farm wants several tons of feed a day, and it is out of stock, and the piglets are screaming with hunger! "People are gossiping and complaining. At this time, an old man came over slowly, he was wearing an old army coat, his beard was gray, his eyes were calm, his expression was dazed, and he shouted in a long voice: "Mother and son, son, mother, and cry bitterly in the daylight—" He repeatedly shouted these words, which attracted Zhang Dawei's attention.

Zhang Dawei heard clearly, this old man shouted the poem "Mother and Son" by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi.

Zhang Dawei said to the old man: "The general of the Kansai Hussars, last year, he broke the new strategy. ”

The old man opened his eyes wide, stared at Zhang Dawei for a while, nodded, and thought: I didn't expect this big official in the province to understand Tang poetry! I took it, I took it!

Zhang Dawei's two poems are two sentences in "Mother and Son". He knew Tang poems and Song poems, and he had read 300 Tang poems, 300 Song poems, and 300 Yuan songs several times. He was admitted to the normal school after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 98, and worked as a middle school teacher for several years, and later because he was one of the five major pens in the county, he changed careers and was transferred to the county as a civil servant.

Zhang Dawei asked the old man: "Fellow, what's the matter with you?" Why chant Bai Juyi's "Mother and Son"? ”

The old man is a retired teacher, almost eighty years old this year, I heard that the provincial leaders came to the village, and he came with courage, he wanted to report something, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he used Bai Juyi's "Mother and Son" to test. He thought that if this official really had a level and really spoke and acted for the people, he would definitely understand the meaning of "Mother and Son", and he would ask what was going on, otherwise, he would also be an official who put on a mess. He didn't expect Zhang Dawei to not only understand "Mother and Son Farewell", but also chanted the next two sentences, and thought to himself, Secretary Zhang is amazing, he is an understanding person, not a confused official.

So, he said to Zhang Dawei: "Secretary Zhang, not far from the cemetery in the west of the village, there is a poor family, two days ago the man and the woman were taken away by the county ambulance, saying that it was virus pneumonia, but I haven't seen his disabled son for seven days, this child has cerebral palsy, only 12 years old.

Zhang Dawei suddenly remembered the words of the truck driver. While the truck driver was hiding in the cemetery, he also faintly heard the shouts of a child. Zhang Dawei said to the county magistrate Wu Yehua: "Now that the responsible persons at the county, town, and village levels are all here, let's go to the house in the west of the village to have a look." ”

They came to the house in the west of the village. Three bungalows, very shabby, are poor in the village. Cao Hao, the village party secretary, said: "This family is a key poor household in our village, and we also sent rice, oil, and meat a few years ago. ”

Zhang Dawei asked: "Have both the man and the wife been diagnosed?" ”

Cao Hao, the village party secretary, looked at the town mayor Li Guangju, Li Guangju looked at the county magistrate Wu Yehua, and Wu Yehua hurriedly turned on his mobile phone and asked the people of the county health and family planning commission. People from the county health and family planning commission said that the county is currently very short of test kits, and they have to wait for the city to send test reagents.

Wu Yehua called the people of the Xingang City Health and Family Planning Commission again, and the answer was that the province did not have many test kits for us, and now it cannot meet the requirements for all patients to be diagnosed.

Zhang Dawei said to Wu Yehua: "County Magistrate Wu, you told the director of the Xingang City Health and Family Planning Commission that no matter what, we must find a way to diagnose the two people of this poor household, and we can't let them make them poorer, sicker, and more miserable due to poverty and illness!" ”

Wu Yehua nodded hurriedly and walked to the side to make a call.

At this time, Cao Hao, the village party secretary who entered the house, hurriedly ran over, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of horror and panic. He said to Zhang Dawei: "The house leak is rainy again, something happened!" ”

Zhang Dawei asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cao Hao said nervously: "The children of this family ------! ”

The group quickly entered the house, and the scene in front of them was chilling. The room was messy, and the child with cerebral palsy collapsed in the kitchen, clutching the unfinished sweet potato with one hand, curled up in a ball, already stiff.

Zhang Dawei's heart was very heavy.

Zhang Dawei frowned tightly, his expression was serious, at this time he wanted to reprimand Cao Hao, the village party secretary, he wanted to reprimand the town mayor Li Guangju, he wanted to scold the county magistrate Wu Yehua, and he even wanted to slap them a few times. But what's the use of that? Our flashy style of reporting good news but not bad news, and our bad habits and bad customs of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, are endangering our ruling philosophy and the people's will.

He was very sad, looked up at the gray and gloomy sky, and sighed. At this time, a thunderclap exploded on the top of the mountain, and a piece of blue and white sky leaked out from the high sky in the east, and he remembered a peasant proverb: thunder and snow in the first month, and rain never stop in February. He was in a low mood and said to Wu Yehua, the county magistrate: "The root cause of what happened to this family in front of me lies in the leading cadres at all levels in the village, town, and county!" This is not a simple incident, this is a serious and bad incident related to people's livelihood! His words rang loudly, and he strode away.

Jiang Huaxin and Liu Xingfa followed closely, and at this time, the old man who had elongated his voice and chanted poetry shouted loudly in the distance: "Xing! The people suffered; Death! The people are bitter! “

Jiang Huaxin asked Zhang Dawei: "Secretary Zhang, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Zhang Dawei said four words forcefully: "Serious accountability!" ”

They left the village, came to the side of the highway and got into the car.

Zhang Dawei said: "Go directly to Xingang City and drive the car to the Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission." ”

Xingang City is located on the shore of the Yangtze River, east of Anhui, south of Jiangxi, southwest corner of Hunan border, thousands of miles of Yangtze River around Xingang City to draw an arc, swinging to the east. The river is pale white, boats are scarce, and a thick fog that seems to be impossible to disperse is shrouded in the river. In the Linjiang Square of Xingang City, there is a tall stone statue, which is the statue of Sun Quan of Dongwu, dozens of meters high. This former heroic monarch of Wu State, dressed in a long robe, waved his fingers at the Yangtze River, pressed his sword in one hand, stood up to the sky and the earth, and his spirit was magnificent. The office building of the Xingang City Health and Family Planning Commission is near Linjiang Square.

Zhang Dawei and his entourage came to the front of the office building.

Mei Fen, director of the Xingang City Health Commission, hurriedly greeted him, full of smiles: "Secretary Zhang, Director Jiang, Director Liu, oops, you came without saying hello, you are not welcome!" Unwelcome! Laborious! Laborious! She ushered Zhang Dawei and his entourage into the conference room.

Zhang Dawei said to her: "You remove the fruit on the table first!" And the two welcome signs were taken away. ”

Zhang Dawei's attitude can be said to give Mei Fen a scoop of cold water. Zhang Dawei thought, this Director Mei will really come to the matter, we didn't tell her to come to the Health and Family Planning Commission, she is really well-informed, she has long been ready to welcome, the conference room is hung with welcome slogans, there are a lot of high-end fruits on the table, and the city's news reporters are also notified to come to the scene to take pictures. It would be great if this agile work style was applied to the current epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic work, put our minds to the grassroots, spend our energy on the front line, and reflect pragmatism in the epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic work!

Director Mei instructed the staff to take away the welcome sign and remove the fruit. She said: "Secretary Zhang will be later, and our Mayor Zhao Lin will arrive in half an hour. ”

Zhang Dawei said: "Half an hour later, we will go to Qingjiangshan Hospital to have a look, this tough battle has just begun. ”

Director Mei nodded vigorously and spread out the notebook.

Zhang Dawei asked: "How many suspected patients of new crown pneumonia are there in Xingang City now?" ”

Director Mei hesitated for a while and said, "About 1,800 people." ”

Zhang Dawei asked: "Is it estimated or is it counted by village, town, and county?" ”

Director Mei said: "We asked for it from various hospitals. ”

Zhang Dawei asked: "How many people have been diagnosed with new crown pneumonia now?" ”

Director Mei looked left and right, and couldn't answer for a while, and the person sitting next to her said hesitantly: "It seems to be more than eight hundred and eighty." ”

Zhang Dawei asked: "How did this number come from?" ”

Director Mei's expression was embarrassed and hesitated for a while: "I'll call and ask." She called for a while, and it took more than ten minutes.

Zhang Dawei asked: "Now I need a few exact and real numbers in Xingang City, one is how many suspected patients?" How many patients have been diagnosed? How many beds are missing? He looked at Director Mei and the others coldly, and thought: As the person in charge of the Health and Family Planning Commission of a prefecture-level city with a population of more than 6 million, at the critical moment of epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic, he didn't even figure out a few figures.

Zhang Dawei asked: "Do you know these three numbers?" ”

Director Mei stubbornly said, "It's not very clear. ”

Zhang Dawei raised his voice and asked, "Why don't you even know how many numbers there are?" ”

Director Mei said: "Because of the following counties, cities, and several major hospitals in the city, they are not very clear, so I am not clear. ”

Zhang Dawei shook his head, got up and walked out, and they went straight to the Qingjiangshan Cabin Hospital.

When night fell, they came to the site, where many people gathered, busy, rushing to build. This is a tourist hotel, and the city decided to requisition and transform it into a designated hospital for the treatment of new crown pneumonia patients.

At this time, the mayor of Xingang City, Zhao Lin Xingse, hurried to the scene. He is a classmate of Zhang Dawei University, sleeps in bunk beds, usually very good, although there is not much interaction with each other in the past few decades after graduation, but each other is one of the few friends in the WeChat circle of friends, sometimes they also chat privately about life perceptions, talk about some children's love, eating, drinking and Lazar trivial matters, and also talk about some philosophical and sociological issues. Zhao Lin shook Zhang Dawei's hand, and seemed to be very easy-going and righteous: "Lao Zhang, why did you carry out my surprise attack!" “

The night was very heavy and heavy, the wind was blowing, and the snowflakes were falling, one by one, one by one, one after another, and they continued to ------
