Qiao Xi asked the little girl next to her to go back to the back room, after all, the person who died was her father, and now she may not know the meaning of death, but as she grows up, this scene is likely to become a shadow of her life.

When she hesitated to enter the back room, she added to Zhang's lame mother: "This thousand yuan is the funeral fee given by the state, and cremation has been implemented in most provinces and cities across the country." In fact, putting the ashes in the urn will not only not stop the lovesickness of future generations, but will also be easier to preserve. ”

"So many places have already practiced cremation?" Zhang's lame old mother was a little surprised, thought about it, and finally nodded, "Then burn it, Nan Nan is still young, and I am also old, and I can't bury her father, just follow those people in the city!" ”

The village chief Zhang Shouye's face was a little unbearable, he had also promoted cremation in the village before, but he himself rejected it and did not carefully explain the policy. Now as soon as Qiao Xi, the village secretary, came, he carried out the cremation, which made him feel uncomfortable, and frowned and hinted at the people around him.

Whether it's cremation or burial, you always need someone to help, no one can help, what should I do when I watch Qiao Xi's little girl's film, she will never move the dead man Zhang Cripple in person, and she can't move it!

The people in the courtyard all got Zhang Shouye's hints, although they all wanted to come forward to ask about the cremation, which was a thousand yuan, but because of Zhang Shouye's official authority in the past, no one moved.

Qiao Xi didn't think about who to ask for help, and took out his mobile phone from his bag, but the signal was not too good, and when he went out, he barely had a weak signal on a high slope.

She pulled out her phone book and called the local crematorium, just as the funeral car was doing propaganda in the village on the other side of the mountain, promising to come as soon as possible, so she hung up.

When Qiao Xi returned to Zhang Cripple's house, Qian Xifeng, the women's director, had already gone to get the list of low-income households. Qiao Xi took it and looked at it carefully, there are a total of five households, each with an annual income of less than 10,000 yuan, and less per capita, which is indeed in line with the national standard of subsistence households.

However, when she flipped to the form filled out by a family, looking at the various information of the family on it, her brows became more and more wrinkled, and she came to the front of the village chief Zhang Shouye, "Village Chief Zhang, are you sure that this family is also a low-income household?" Have you checked it out before? ”

Zhang Shouye took the page of the form and looked at it a few times, "This is the old Cao family in our village, he broke his leg some time ago, and in addition to owing a large amount of foreign debt, the family has no income." If you take a closer look at their family's family information, there are five people in their family, and their total annual income is only more than 10,000 yuan, and the average person is only more than two or three thousand a year. ”

"I've read the family information filled in above, and I've read it very carefully." Qiao Xi asked in a cold voice: "It is precisely because I look at it so carefully that I want to ask Village Chief Zhang, this old Cao family of five is true, but their family has sons and daughters, and daughters-in-law, all of whom are young people in their twenties. Even if Lao Cao's leg is broken, how can such a strong worker be poor enough to eat subsistence? ”

Zhang Shouye's face became ugly, and there was a reason why Lao Cao's family was set as a difficult household at that time. After Lao Cao's leg was broken, his mother-in-law came to his house to cry twice in three days, shouting that she wanted a minimum of money, or she would stay at his house and not leave.

He was really forced to have no choice, and the old Cao family was indeed in difficulty, so he first classified the old Cao family as a low-income household.

He didn't expect that Qiao Xiguang could see the problem from the family information he filled in. This is tantamount to questioning his ability to work, and he is a little uncomfortable, how simple is the people in the village.

At this time, a villager outside the door ran in and shouted loudly: "Village chief, there is a funeral parlor car in the village, it should be here to pull Zhang Cripple to be cremated." ”

"I called them to come." Qiao Xi spoke calmly.

Everyone's eyes were on her, Zhang Shouye still wanted to embarrass her about the fact that Zhang Cripple had no one to bury her, but she didn't expect her to call the funeral home's car directly.

Qian Xifeng hurriedly said: "I'll go and bring the car from the funeral home." ”

She got on her bicycle and left, and after a while, the funeral home car stopped at the door of Zhang's lame house, in addition to the driver who drove, two staff members came down, first moved a transparent ice coffin down, and then the driver asked everyone: "Who is the person in charge of your here?" ”

"It's me!" Qiao Xi strode over, took the funeral form handed to him by the driver, went back and filled in the information while asking Zhang Cripple's old mother, and then signed his name at the end.

After the procedure was completed, the funeral home people moved the body of Zhang Cripple into the transparent ice coffin and carried it into the car.

There will always be family members who will follow them to the funeral home to watch the cremation and bring back the urn. Qiao Xi looked back at Zhang's lame mother, she was looking at the funeral car containing his son in a distracted manner, this farewell is a lifetime, old tears flowed unconsciously, let her follow the car will definitely not work.

The little girl also came out of the back room, blinked her eyes, seemed to understand something, suddenly opened her mouth and cried Daddy, and ran towards the funeral home.

Qiao Xi hurriedly hugged her tightly from behind, and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't cry, Dad just left you temporarily, when you grow up and get admitted to college, Dad will come back to celebrate you!" ”

Nannan's beautiful big eyes were already crying red, and she struggled for a long time, then she turned her head ignorantly, and asked in a childish voice: "Sister, are you telling the truth?" Will Dad really come back to see me then? ”

"Yes, definitely." Qiao Xi's eyes were also a little red, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Qian Xifeng, and said in a commanding tone: "Director Qian, you will go to the funeral home now instead of their families!" ”

It didn't take long for Qiao Xi to arrive in Xiaoquanzi Village, but inexplicably he seemed to have a little official authority, and Qian Xifeng got into the car of the funeral home without saying a word, and with the sound of mourning music in the car, the car slowly drove out.

Qiao Xi originally planned to follow her to the funeral home, but she still has one more thing to do at the moment, to investigate whether the old Cao family, a low-income household, meets the requirements of the subsistence allowance. Zhang Cripple's such a difficult family has not been evaluated, and even Zhang Cripple needs to use his death to fight for a low-income household quota, she wants to know how difficult this old Cao family is.

"Village Chief Zhang, please take me to this poor household, Lao Cao's house." Qiao Xi looked towards Zhang Shouye.

Zhang Shouye knocked the cigarette pot in his hand on the ground, pinned it to the waistband of his pants unhurriedly, and led Qiao Xi out of the door.

The two of them walked on the streets of the village, there were muddy dirt roads everywhere, and half of the village was built on the hillside, and the road was even more difficult, and it took them more than 20 minutes to reach the door of Lao Cao's house.

Lao Cao's house was a three-room blue brick and gray tile house, which made Qiao Xi's face start to turn cold, which was many times better than Zhang Cripple's family.

"Secretary Qiao, this house was renovated by Lao Cao a few years ago when he borrowed money from relatives, and it is said that the money owed has not been repaid until now." Zhang Shouye sighed, said the results of the previous investigation, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Is Lao Cao at home? Secretary Qiao from our village has come to see you. Zhang Shouye shouted in the courtyard.

Qiao Xi looked around the house, Zhang Shouye pointed to the roof and said, "Secretary Qiao, have you seen the roof tiles of his house?" Because there is no money to replace it with a new one, it is all the defective products left over from other people's houses, and when it rains, the house leaks. ”

Qiao Xi also saw that the roof tiles were covered with pieces of black linoleum cloth, and it would be better to cover the leaky house with these linoleum cloths.

She followed Zhang Shouye into the back room, Lao Cao is an obese man in his fifties, he has been lying on the earthen kang, his right leg is firmly wrapped in bandages, he coughed a few times, and leaned on the kang weakly, "It's the village chief who is here, my legs and feet are not good, so I won't come down, you find a stool to sit on yourself." ”

Zhang Shouye introduced Qiao Xi, turned his head and asked, "What about you?" How not at home? ”

Lao Cao moved his body with difficulty, "Hey, her old heart problem has been committed again, just now she suddenly couldn't breathe, and several children were in a hurry, so they quickly contacted the car to send her to the hospital in the town." ”

"Hey, Lao Cao, it's really not easy for your family!" Zhang Shouye looked back at Qiao Xi and snorted, "Secretary Qiao, you have seen it now." Lao Cao's family is a medicine jar, and how much money they earn has to be spent in the hospital, you said that if their family is not taken care of by the state and is selected as a poor household, this family will really not be able to survive. ”

Qiao Xi looked at Zhang Shouye with some doubts, "Village Chief Zhang, hasn't our village paid the rural cooperative medical insurance?" Reimbursement of 70% of the drug expenses in the town hospital is reached, why is there such a thing as spending all the money on the hospital? ”
