Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Conscience of China
Zi Yan changed a robe into a small quilt for the plain clothes, wrapped the plain clothes tightly, and there was no worry about the wind blowing and the cold, Xiao Yuan was holding the plain clothes and playing with them, Director Shi shouted at the door, lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
"Director Shi is here, please take a seat."
"Teacher Xu pours tea for the director."
Director Shi glanced at the child in Xiao Yuan's arms before sitting, and said, "This girl's face is like her mother, and she must be a beautiful embryo in the future."
"Director Shi seems to be familiar with her family?"
"Her home is a neighbor near my house, her father is as vicious as hatred, chivalrous and courageous, it is best to report grievances, because of this, often enter the police station, come and go, so familiar."
"I see, Director Shi, I called you here today, I also want to know more about your views on earthquake relief, we must have just arrived, and we don't know much about many situations."
"Principal Xiao is polite, I admire you quite a lot, sincere disaster relief, you came I saw the hope of life from the empty and dull eyes of the people of Guyuan, and now the people who have been organized by you have the hope of life in every look.
The big girl and the little daughter-in-law who went to dig the medicine shop with me this morning actually washed her hair, and it was no longer like the tears in her eyes a few days ago, and her hair was scattered.
I also heard me say that those who participate in the work can eat and work, and the momentum is even stronger, and when the materials on the telegram are in place, we will listen to Mr. to survive this hard life with work relief, Principal Xiao Guyuan people are saved by you, what is the payment you just have to say. "
At this time, Zi Yan brought over a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Director Shi, there is no place to put a teacup here, so I can only ask you to drink it, I'm really sorry."
"Mrs. Xiao is not polite, although she is drinking, she is in a bright mood when she drinks, and it is more comfortable than eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow, only in this way can Guyuan have great hope."
"Director Shi has a good reputation, you are the real rescuers of the Guyuan earthquake, and the people of Guyuan still have to rely on you? You see, there is no management organization at this time, and there are still many places that have not been rescued, and this management organization must be established, otherwise many things will not be done well.
I have an idea, this management body should be set up, I want to hear your thoughts, after all, this is to serve the people, to serve the plain, not to rely on the people, not to meet the needs of the people, that is, to build a building in the sand, fishing for the moon in the water, everything is empty talk. Director Shi, you said I remember. "
After speaking, Xiao Yuan took out his notebook and pen, and handed the plain clothes in his arms to Zi Yan.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan was so cautious, Director Shi also took Xiao Yuan seriously and made a briefing on the situation of Guyuan after the earthquake that he had seen, and some of his own thoughts.
Xiao Yuan also took notes seriously, and nodded frequently to Director Shi, and then Chanjiao and Jingjing came in with a pot of porridge and cakes.
"Director Shi didn't eat it either, right? Let's eat together, and we'll talk after eating. After speaking, Xiao Yuan took a piece of cake and handed it to Director Shi, and Jingjing made a bowl of porridge for Director Shi and put it on the ground.
"Jingjing Stone went there, and I didn't see anyone for a day."
"I went with President Ma to find someone, it was a very famous imam, and the president hoped that the imam could help him save the victims. The place where the imam is is a bit dangerous, I heard that there are several bandits. And the stone took men with him. ”
"This old man has a heart, a stone has righteousness, and a good deed"
At this time, Jingjing's eyes were red again, as if tears were about to flow again.
"Old Xiao, why did you mention Jingjing's sadness again, Jingjing is not sad, the stone will be fine," Chanjuan walked over and comforted Jingjing.
At this time, all the bowls on the ground were overturned, and people were swaying like boats on land, and Director Shi said loudly: "There is another earthquake, everyone be careful."
Xiao Yuan went over for a while to support Zi Yan, who was holding plain clothes, Chanjuan was holding Jingjing, Director Shi was squatting and holding a pot of porridge, and the earthquake stopped.
Xiao Yuan went out to take a look at the situation outside, everyone was just scared, there was no injury, and those little larks who sang began to perform for the victims again.
Back in the camp, Xiao Yuan chatted with Director Shi for a while after breakfast, and told him that he was going to recommend him as deputy county magistrate and police chief, and Director Shi happily accepted and happily parted with Xiao Yuan.
Next, he found Governor Yang again, and next to a stone plaque that was knocked down, Xiao Yuan confessed his thoughts to Governor Yang.
Governor Yang was very happy and repeatedly proposed various ways to provide disaster relief. When Xiao Yuan heard this, sure enough, one person was short-minded, everyone was wise, and Governor Yang was also a cadre.
In the end, Xiao Yuan said to him: "Governor, then this matter is decided, by the way, it should be called County Magistrate Yang, I will go and report this recommendation to the province for filing, then County Magistrate Yang should be."
Now is an extraordinary period, and the personnel below the deputy county magistrate will be discussed and arranged by the county magistrate and Director Shi, and I will go back and draft a telegram to Zhang Guangjian and Wang Shixiang, and you can approve it today. ”
The two laughed dryly, and County Magistrate Yang said helplessly: "This is the nature of warlords, only for themselves, not for the people, and the old decay is also because the disaster relief is the responsibility of the husband, and he also has the heart to help the neighbors in the countryside, so it is okay if the official does not do it after the fact."
Xiao Yuan went back and quickly drafted the telegram, and was about to send it out by himself, so he casually went to see how Shunzi went and didn't come back for a long time.
Thinking about to go out, I heard Junko shouting outside the door: "Little aunt, there are many telegrams from you, and there are many telegrams in the telegraph office that are being translated, all of which are telegrams sent from all over the country to inquire about the disaster situation and disaster relief materials.
Xiao Yuan looked at this telegram, and his heart warmed, the virtues of China are due to a long history.
Xiao Yuan handed the telegram to Zi Yan to look at, Xiao Nizi choked up with a smile, hugged the plain clothes, grabbed the telegram and was about to go to Ouyang Wenjia, telling everyone that we are not alone! We, the whole country in China, are fighting against the global earthquake.
Xiao Yuan handed the recommendation telegram to Junzi again and asked him to send it out quickly. Junko took the telegram and ran again.
At this time, Xiao Yuan was the happiest, this country, this family, made him feel that he could love her without regrets.
In the distance, Ouyang Wenjia was reading the telegram aloud, and the eyes of the people brightened, and when they heard "Compatriots, you are suffering, we are coming," those numb people cried, laughed, cheered, jumped, and all kinds of instinctive celebrations filled the entire venue.
Perhaps these joys will spread, and people will be more enthusiastic and involved in disaster relief, and the pace of the team will be faster, and the frequency of the operation will also be accelerated.
This is the people of China, simple and hardworking!
At this time, the county magistrate Yang happily found Xiao Yuan and told him that they had found a few more granaries, with wheat, flour, and grain that did not need to be in the near future, and the good news was one after another.
But when he went to the disaster relief site of Director Shi, Xiao Yuan was speechless, and a cold corpse was dug up from the ground, and Director Shi's subordinates carefully placed them on the street one by one, covering the corpse's face with a small piece of cloth.
Several elderly people were washing the dust off their faces with water for the people on the corpses, and several students from the Medical University cooperated with Director Shi to record the names of the deceased.
On that piece of paper, it shouldn't be just statistics, it's a living life, human life is so fragile, in front of the rows of corpses, people seem so small.
"Mr. Xiao, you're here." Director Shi, who was directing the excavation in the distance, saw Xiao Yuan and greeted him.
"Here, what are you going to do with this?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"Alas! Sir, I can only wash their faces, register their names, and bury them in the mass graves dug up outside the city with a face cloth, and there are so many dead that there is not even a straw mat, alas! I can only carve a ranking word for them in the future, and I will have a name when I go to the underworld, and I have a thought in the world. Director Shi replied.
"That's all there is to it, remember to dig deep, bury deeply, stay away from water sources, and disinfect lime." Xiao Yuan said.
"I know, my dad told me the request for how to bury him, and he wrote it down to me on paper."
Xiao Yuan nodded, took out a telegram from his bag and handed it to him: "This is your appointment letter, everything is simple."
Director Shi took it and looked at it, without a smile: "Alas! I am a native of Guyuan, and if it weren't for these dead and alive, I really don't want to be this bird official.
Sir, you're going to Haiyuan tomorrow, have you found a guide, if not, my nephew can show you the way. He pulls the salt produced in the dry salt pond of Haiyuan to Guyuan for sale all the year round, and he is familiar with this road, and I am relieved that he will lead the way for my husband. ”
"Deputy County Magistrate Shi, I have this intention, thank you so much, I will call him this afternoon, everyone knows each other, and you have to organize some armaments, beware of bandits going to the city to loot property."
"Got it, sir, I have a platoon of people on the periphery of Guyuan, I know what is going on, and I am also on the sentry at various intersections, which is explained by the little brother Shi.
Sir, you have a lot of talents, huh? In addition, I remember my nephew's affairs, and I will definitely inform him that he will be there in the afternoon.
Sir, do you like the yellow earth of the Northwest? I heard my dad say that you have always been like spring all year round, and there is green everywhere, unlike us, when it comes to winter, it is difficult to find a little green.
Or you live a more comfortable life in your place, and when I get old, I will go there to settle down, be a companion with my husband, and I can also open my eyes, sir, your propaganda team is an excellent idea, I said that you should pay attention to personal hygiene when digging up corpses, wash your hands frequently,......, don't listen to what you say, listen to that mercy snow, remember it one by one on stage, and remind me to wash my hands at dinner this morning. You say it's not weird.
Now as soon as I have time, I run to the stage of the propaganda team, saying that I want to listen to that Lianxue, the snow princess sings "White Fox" and what "Loess High Slope", and they are all fascinated.
I heard that Ouyang Wenjia say that Lian Xue came here because she wrote a blood book, and the popularity of the Snow Princess is even higher, Mr. I heard that many of them sang were written by you, and I was really convinced by the pair of gentlemen. "
