Chapter 10 Reparations
A short and fat officer in his forties, with the rank of second-class superintendent on his shoulder, walked to the front of the convoy, knocked on the window of the first truck, and rolled his tongue and asked in the vernacular: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the county seat and welcome the 'people'. Tao Lielin, who was sitting in the co-pilot of the first car, rolled down the window and replied with a face.
The second-level superintendent was stunned for a moment, and then realized that these Miao people were going to pull the dead home, and the already rough and uneasy mood was 'chuckled' again: "The city is about to hold the third 'Shanlan International Tourism Festival' in our county, and these people are standing on trucks to enter the city, and they are afraid that the impact will not be good." β
"The impact is not good, and the town still sends buses.
Comrade police tell you the truth, we are going to meet the father of the baby next to him, called Zhang Daowu, Zhang is the 'Zhang' of Yuwo Village.
If we don't welcome it today, I'm afraid tomorrow it won't be these people when we go to the county seat. β
The second-level superintendent is Song Xinghe, the director of the Damu Town Police Station, who is originally from the city of Qixian County, and he doesn't know how powerful Lu Dao's "Zhang' in Yuwo Village" is, but listening to Tao Lielin's tone and looking at the unkind eyes of hundreds of Miao people, he understands very well that the matter in front of him is definitely not blocked by his own sesame mung bean big official, and even if he stops it, the price paid must outweigh the loss.
"What, let's pay attention to the influence of our folks," Song Xinghe thought about it, and then thought he was unlucky to let his police move the police car to the side of the road, and said with a smile.
"That's right, I'm also a cadre. Tao Lielin nodded, rolled up the window, and the convoy continued to move.
Seeing the convoy go away, Song Xinghe immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the deputy director of the county bureau in charge of public security: "Bureau Liang, I'm Damu Song Xinghe, I have something to report to you..."
The head of the police station reports to the deputy director of public security;
The Deputy Director of Public Security reports to the Director;
After that, the director of the county public security bureau, who was the secretary of the county political and legal committee, first reported to the secretary of the county party committee and then dialed the phone number of the county magistrate.
By the time the convoy from Yuwo Village arrived at the gate of the Central People's Hospital of She County, Guo Guoxing, deputy secretary of the County Party Committee of She County, who was in charge of maintaining stability, had already been waiting there accompanied by Man Changsheng, captain of the traffic police brigade, He Daolin, chairman of the Jindao Taxi Company, and Xu Fanmao, general manager of the Huashou Property Insurance Company of He County.
Such things are almost unimaginable in China's mainland counties and cities, but in the areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, especially in Miaodi in western Sichuan, where the people are fierce, it has become very common in recent years, so that some cadres working here are very nostalgic for the days when there was no Internet.
Obviously, it was clear that there were probably county leaders among the group of people waiting for Lu Dao at the gate of the hospital, but Tao Lielin didn't say anything after pulling Zhang Lisheng out of the truck, but Guo Guoxing took the initiative to come over and asked with a concerned face: "You are Comrade Tao Lielin from Ouwo Village, and Zhang Lisheng's classmates, right?"
"I'm Tao Lielin, who are you?"
"I am Guo Guoxing, deputy secretary of our county party committee. β
"It turns out that you are Secretary Guo, hey, look at my brain, I often see you on the news in our county, this, this, you look much younger than on TV. β
"Old man, old man, after being in charge of stability maintenance work, I can't eat well all day long, I can't sleep, old man.
Comrade Lielin, you are all real people at first glance, so we don't talk darkly, I am also from Miaowei, and I have great respect for the custom of welcoming the dead in Miaowei.
But now is really a special period, and the third 'Shanlan International Tourism Festival' in our county is about to open.
It is a national policy for the Party to respect the traditions and customs of all ethnic minorities across the country, but economic development is also the most important overall situation, which is closely related to the vital interests of our ordinary people..."
"I know, Secretary Guo, I know, but if the matter is not resolved, I can't make the decision to let the villagers go back to scatter, I, I..."
Seeing Tao Lielin's embarrassed expression, Guo Guoxing smiled and said, "Don't worry about Lao Tao, I won't let you make it difficult."
Manager Xu, Manager Xu brought the insurance company's compensation payment.
Manager He, the condolence money of our Jindao company is also ready. β
Hearing the greeting of the deputy secretary of the county party committee, Xu Fanmao immediately stepped forward with a smile, took out a transfer check from the construction bank from the inner pocket of his suit, handed it over and said: "Secretary Guo, the total insurance compensation is 500,000 yuan, this is a transfer check, and the ticket is paid according to the maximum amount of the general insurance amount of the county taxi." β
Guo Guoxing nodded, and looked at He Daolin who ran over.
"We have prepared 150,000 yuan for condolences money, although it is not much, but this is also a little bit of our Jindao company's heart. He Daolin, chairman of the Jindao Taxi Company, who was affiliated with the taxi, opened his handbag, took out a thick envelope, and said with a wry smile.
Originally, in the traffic accident that caused Zhang Daowu's death, the deceased himself crossed the road and was responsible for half of the accident, and it would be very good for the family to get an insurance claim of 300,000 or 400,000 yuan.
But now not only does the insurance company have to pay the full compensation, but he also has to take out 150,000 yuan as a 'condolence money' for no reason, He Daolin of course hurts, but he knows that this money must be paid, otherwise it will definitely cause the so-called 'ethnic conflict', and I am afraid that his company will close down.
After Guo Guoxing showed enough sincerity, he didn't look at Tao Lielin, but looked at Zhang Lisheng who was working next to him, and said in a sad tone: "Classmate Zhang Lisheng, my uncle also feels very sad about your loss of a loved one.
The person responsible for the accident has been ordered to compensate you to the greatest extent possible, and if you have any other requirements, you can do so as long as it is reasonable. β
He is the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and he is also the director of the tourism development zone at the department level, this level of cadres may not be nothing in megacities like Beiping and Shencheng, but in the acre and third of the land in He County, he is really a person who has to move a little bit when he stomps on the county.
In addition, Guo Guoxing himself is also from the surname Miao Weihua, so as long as he takes a preemptive stand on the ground, he is not afraid of others making waves and making trouble unreasonably.
To Guo Guoxing's surprise, the young man did not show the instigated crying and bargaining as he imagined, but whispered without raising his head: "Uncle, I am here to welcome back Daddy's bones today."
He climbed over the railing and was hit by a car, don't blame others, the compensation is as much as possible, I'm just here to welcome back Daddy's bones..."
There are few saints with noble character in the world, and there are few criminals who are extremely vicious, and there are many ordinary people who mix good and evil.
The emotions of ordinary people are easily infected by the things around them, and the false feelings and true feelings are sometimes the conversion between a thought.
After listening to Zhang Lisheng's muttered answer, looking at the young man in front of him who called himself 'uncle', lost his father, lowered his head, and his body was dry, the incident had a successful result, and Guo Guoxing, who should have let go of the big stone in his heart, suddenly felt sour in his heart, thinking of his son who was almost old.
"Ah Cub Mo said this, you still have to live in the future, compensate more money, and go to high school, college, and graduate school.
After completing your studies, there is a good way out and you can contribute more to the country, which is the right way, and it will also give your dead daddy peace of mind. He took the check and cash from Xu Fanmao and He Daolin, stuffed it into Zhang Lisheng's hand, and said.
Although it is still clichΓ©s and empty words, the tone is very different from before.
After finishing speaking, looking at Zhang Lisheng who was still bowing his head and not saying anything, Guo Guoxing sighed, turned over his pocket, took out a few hundred yuan, and stuffed it into the young man's hand, and said: "Uncle also takes a salary to eat, this little money is not much, buy your baby a school book, study hard." β
"Secretary Guo, this, what are you doing, this, this is not hit..."Tao Lielin on the side said with a stammer.
"Lao Tao, the money I give to the child, don't speak.
The doll daddy is gone, pitiful," Speaking of this, as if he had moved himself, Guo Guoxing's eyes slowly moistened: "If there is a difficulty in the future, you can bring him to the county party committee to find me..."
At this time, there was a sudden sound of shutter flickering next to him, and it turned out that Guo Guoxing's accompanying secretary had gotten a camera out of nowhere and filmed this touching scene.
Guo Guoxing was slightly stunned, and instinctively wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, but touched Zhang Lisheng's head superfluously, with a kind and sentimental expression on his face.
Naturally, the shutter flickered again...
The incident of welcoming and sending off the bones, which might have caused a commotion, has become a touching scene, and the leaders of the county party committee are concerned about the future growth of the orphans in Miaowei.
With Guo Guoxing's care, the county central people's hospital not only waived Zhang Daowu's rescue fees, but also contacted the related unit He County Crematorium to send a funeral vehicle with an ice coffin and a small generator to send his body back to Yuwo Village.
In short, the matter of welcoming back Zhang Daowu's bones went smoothly from beginning to end, but when everyone returned to the mountain village, it was still more than two o'clock in the afternoon.
The first person in the convoy to get off the car was Zhang Lisheng, who stood on the stone road, staring blankly at the young villagers carrying down Daddy's body with the ice coffin, thinking about it numbly, and suddenly handed the paper bag containing 150,000 condolences to Tao Lielin in front of his chest and said: "Uncle Hunting, I don't understand anything, you will have to worry about Daddy's funeral."
You take the money and use it. β
"How can you use this old man," Tao Lielin was startled, and pointed out three stacks of hundred-yuan bills from the paper bag and replied: "Thirty thousand in unison, will the villagers sell pigs and sheep to slaughter you like outsiders, and besides, there is nothing in the supermarket in the city now."
You get the extra money back, and when your father's funeral is finished, I will take you to the city to save it. β
"Hmm. Hearing Tao Lielin say this, Zhang Lisheng didn't delay much, took the 120,000 yuan he handed back, and then silently accompanied Zhang Daowu's ice coffin back to his ancient mansion.
