Qiao Xi poured a few mouthfuls of rainwater in a row, coughed and got up from the ground, picked up the flashlight, and knocked it a few times before it re-emitted the electric light. She bit the tip of her tongue hard, and once again got up and ran towards the house in front of her.

She carried the lonely old man inside and walked forward with all her strength, she did not allow herself to have any accidents, she carried another life on her shoulders.

After half an hour, she finally settled all the difficult households in charge, and there were no major problems with the houses of some difficult households, but she still couldn't rest assured, and the families knocked on the door to make sure that they didn't need to be resettled, and her heart was relieved.

She called Zhang Shouye, "Old village chief, have all the difficult households that need to be resettled there have been settled?" ”

Zhang Shouye said a little breathlessly: "It's all settled, and now there is no problem." The rain raised by this son of a bitch, or it will rain so much. ”

Hanging up the phone, Qiao Xi asked Qian Xifeng to go back to rest, and she also went back to her residence tiredly.

It was already more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, and the water under her feet was getting deeper and deeper.

She turned on the loudspeaker that night and made an announcement. Repeatedly advised, do not go out at will during heavy rain, especially take care of the children and the elderly at home, and feed livestock to safely transfer livestock to avoid property loss.

After broadcasting several times in a row, Qiao Xi turned off the loudspeaker.

She stretched out her hand to pull the door of the neighborhood committee and was about to go back to her house, but her eyes began to sway, and two seemed to appear on the street in front of her, and she suddenly fell to the ground.

She was so tired that night that her weak body could not afford such a great physical exertion, and she leaned against a door and passed in a daze. The other door was blown by the wind outside, and from time to time it slapped on her, but she didn't have the strength to get up.

The rain did not stop, the sky was already bright, and it was Chen Feng who came to the village committee first, when he saw Qiao Xi sitting on the ground asleep, he was startled, and quickly patted her and shouted: "Secretary Qiao, wake up quickly, why are you asleep here." ”

Qiao Xi opened his eyes slowly, looked around a little confused, climbed up against the wall, and said with a wry smile: "I actually fell asleep here." ”

"You've been here since you finished broadcasting last night?" Chen Feng looked very surprised, and hurriedly rummaged through the drawer and found a plate of cold medicine, "Secretary Qiao, hurry up and eat, after eating and taking the medicine, hurry home and rest, you are covered in rain, you will catch a cold." ”

Qiao Xi already felt that her head was aching faintly, and nine times out of ten she was already having a fever, and her mouth and throat were tearing like a knife.

"Chen Feng, you sent a radio to all party members to a meeting to discuss the resettlement of these difficult households, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while, and their lives need to be guaranteed."

She swallowed a pill dry, and added, "I'll go home and change my clothes first, and I'll be back." ”

After speaking, she sorted out the raincoat on her body and ran out of the neighborhood committee.

Chen Feng looked at her distant back, was in a daze for a long time, and muttered to himself: "Xiaoquanzi Village seems to have hope......

He turned on the loudspeaker and sent out the announcement, and soon Zhang Shoushan and Qian Xifeng came over first, and not long after the rest of the party members, they also entered the neighborhood committee.

Qiao Xi was the last to come in, she changed into clean clothes, her face was a little hot, and when she found that Chen Feng looked over with some concern, she hurriedly waved her hand to stop him from continuing.

"Let's all sit down!" Qiao Xi sat on his chair, looked at Zhang Shouye and asked, "Old village chief, do we want to discuss the living problems of these resettlement poor households?" ”

Zhang Shouye lit the pot with the bag under his eyes and took a sip hard, "This is indeed a problem, most of us have placed them in neighbors' houses, and none of our children are around, eating is a big problem, we can't live in other people's homes, and we still rely on other people's houses to eat, right?" ”

Although the words are rough, but this reason, Qiao Xi turned his head to look at everyone, "What do you think, I just looked at the weather forecast, there will be heavy rain in the next three days, and the secretary of the town party committee also called me not long ago, to take care of the poor households in the village." ”

There are people who are smoking rolls, and some who are drinking water, but there is no sound.

Chen Feng thought for a while and hesitated: "Secretary Qiao, why don't you take out money from the village committee and subsidize the households resettled by these difficult households, so that they can take care of these people on their behalf." ”

Qian Xifeng waved his hand and said: "Xiao Chen, you don't know the situation in the village, now that the agricultural tax is not collected, our village committee has long had no input." That is, our plastic factory pays thousands of yuan to the village every year, and the remaining few contracted orchards do not have much money because of their low output. ”

As he spoke, Qian Xifeng opened the drawer and handed the account book to Qiao Xi.

There are only more than 1,000 yuan left in the account, and if all the money is spent, the village committee will not be able to function. Water money, electricity money, money is needed everywhere.

Zhang Shouye also knew the situation of the neighborhood committee, so he took a hard puff of cigarette in annoyance and looked up, "Secretary Qiao, what are you going to do?" ”

Qiao Xi pondered for a while, and looked at the many party members present, "Since everyone is a member of the Communist Party, we should play the role of party members now, each person is responsible for the food problem of a difficult household, and I and Zhang Shouye Village Chief share the rest." ”

"Why!" Zhang Quanshui, who was biting a cigarette, was not happy, he was a sturdy man in his forties, with two beards, and he slammed the table and stood up.

"Which of our families is better off and bring them food? It is said that it will rain for three days, but who knows how long it will take, and it will cost more than 100 yuan for these three days alone. We only give ten dollars for one meeting, and how many meetings do we need to have to make such a big hole in the sky. ”

The rest of the party members also thought the same thing, and nodded their heads one after another.

Qiao Xi was disappointed for a while, as a party member, he didn't have any dedication, and he only had interests and losses in his mind.

Zhang Shouye also glared at Zhang Quanshui, was silent, took out the wallet from his pocket, looked at everyone and said: "If anyone thinks it is difficult to help the needy families deliver food, please raise your hand, I will give him the food money, he only needs to help deliver the hot food." ”

Zhang Quanshui was the first to raise his hand, followed by the second, and the third......

Except for Qiao Xi and others, only three or four of the remaining seventeen party members did not raise their hands.

Qiao Xi took out all the money in his wallet and put it on the table, "Here are five hundred and fifty yuan, according to the standard of one hundred yuan per household, the rest of the money, whoever has WeChat on his mobile phone, I will transfer it to him." ”

Zhang Quanshui came over and took a hundred yuan directly, and took out his mobile phone, "I have WeChat on my mobile phone, you transfer the rest of the money to me, and I will distribute it to others for you." ”

Zhang Shouye couldn't stand it anymore, jumped up and pointed at Zhang Quanshui and scolded: "Can you kid still have a little backbone, can you still be considered a member of the Communist Party?" ”

Zhang Quanshui said disapprovingly: "Uncle, you are all poor like this, what kind of backbone do you need?" I became a party member just to get ten yuan for a meeting, and I never thought of giving my money to others stupidly. ”

Qiao Xi looked at him, shook his head again, and pointed to the money in his hand, "You can put it back, you are no longer worthy of being a Communist Party member, and you don't need to do anything to help poor households." ”

After she finished speaking, she picked up the phone on the table and called, and in the eyes of everyone, she said awe-inspiringly, "Secretary Sun, there is a party member in our village who violates party discipline and has no responsibilities and responsibilities as a party member, and is no longer qualified to be a Communist Party member, and I propose to you to expel him from the party." ”

Secretary Sun? Sun Honggang, secretary of the town party committee?!

Zhang Quanshui was taken aback, pointed at Qiao Xi and scolded, "You dead girl, you actually went up to sue me!" ”

Qiao Xi glanced at him coldly, quietly waiting for Sun Honggang's reply.

Sun Honggang was in a meeting before, glanced at everyone in the meeting, walked out of the office, and then asked solemnly: "His name?" ”

"Zhang Quanshui!" Qiao Xi said word by word.

She can tolerate the mistakes of the people, but she does not allow a party member to make such mistakes, and she has no party spirit and no faith.

A party member shoulders responsibility and responsibility, and it is also an honor.
