Night is gradually falling, but both sides of the entire division bridge are brightly lit. There are no electric lights. The power supply situation in Dapu County is already very tight. Power outages are common in the county, not to mention the villages below. All of them are. Torches. This is a habit of people living in the mountains. They use torches to illuminate themselves when walking at night. Although electric lights are now available in every household, they are rarely lit up a few times throughout the year. They are only used during the New Year. Only then will there be such a situation where thousands of houses are lit up with lights.
The huge scene made the standing committee members present a little stunned. So many people almost surrounded both sides of the bridge. There seemed to be torches all over the mountains and plains, illuminating the entire sky. This situation made Yu Fan a little bit a little bit stunned. Surprised. There seem to be more and more people. This situation has at least doubled the number of people just now. But it is also true. Who doesn't have children? People are more grateful to their children than to themselves.
"Director Lu, please send additional police force immediately to maintain order on both sides." When there are more people, people tend to get more excited. Yu Fan doesn't want any group incident to happen at this time. He glanced at the office director Chang Da who was standing aside and said: "Old Chang. Immediately ask someone to connect the broadcasts on both sides. I want to speak to the villagers." Yu Fan's words made other members of the Standing Committee think of something. They immediately became worried.
In the distance, there are torches approaching here from time to time. More and more people are gathering here. People from all over the surrounding areas have a tendency to move closer to here. Three years is not a long time. But every parent sends his child to When I got it into the hands of the teacher, all I saw was Teacher Xu. An elder in his seventies still went to the mountains to teach children at such an old age. This had to make them feel grateful. No matter how hard they lived, Difficult. Which parent doesn’t want their children to learn more knowledge?
The sky was completely dark. Bonfires were lit on both sides of the bridge. Sad songs were also floating in the mountain stream. This was a unique form of grief for the mountain people when their loved ones passed away. Yu Fan could not understand the meaning of these songs. .But he could understand the sadness in the singing. The villagers here not only regarded Teacher Xu, an old man in his seventies, as their own relatives, but also as an elder.
The temporary broadcast was quickly installed with the help of Yeshan Township staff. But when Chang Da informed Yu Fan, he didn't know what to say. On a night like this, it was better to let the villagers release their anger. My thoughts go out to Mr. Xu, an elder.
A rather special standing committee meeting was held just a few hours ago at the new school in Niujiao Village. This was a very special standing committee meeting. It only discussed the funeral issues of an ordinary 70-year-old man. It was no longer the same as before. The Standing Committee is full of intrigues. All that is left is Yu Fan’s solemn narration and the faint sadness revealed among the Standing Committee members.
There was almost no discussion. The Standing Committee calmly passed the agenda of holding a memorial service for Teacher Xu. This work was coordinated by the county party committee. A memorial service preparatory group was established. Yu Fan personally served as the team leader. The other standing committee members were Members of the preparatory group. However, because there are still many things to do in the county, this working group currently only has two standing committee members, Yu Fan and County Party Committee Office Director Chang Da. The other people, after the standing committee meeting, Yu Fan also asked them to They each returned to the county committee.
Before leaving, Chu Qin also glanced at Yu Fan with a worried face. Of course Yu Fan knew what she wanted to say. He just looked at her and nodded. Everyone else left, including the one who gave Yu Fan a hard lesson. The county education director was stunned. But Lu Da, the public security director, did not dare to leave here.
The people of Dapu County are strong-willed, especially the young men in the mountainous areas. They are very impulsive when they are young. If Secretary Yu makes any mistake, then he, the public security chief, will be the first to do it.
Luda's stay also gave Yu Fan convenience. Now more and more villagers are gathering together. The mountain roads in the mountains are very difficult to walk. If something goes wrong, it will not end well. For Yu Fan also specially called the secretary, mayor and Bi Jun of Yeshan Township to discuss this matter with them. Of course, Luda, as the leader of the county, also participated in it.
"Secretary Cui, look at the current situation. What should we do? There are so many people gathered together. The wind is strong on the mountain. The cold is getting worse in the middle of the night. Can you think of a way to send some food to the villagers? Or you can make ginger soup." Looking at everyone, Yu Fan also expressed his thoughts.
Cui Hanming felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He looked at Yu Fan and said: "Secretary Yu, there is no big problem in getting food and ginger soup. The folks on the bridge are easy to handle. The key is that the folks on the other side of the bridge should What should I do? No one dares to walk across this bridge now. Go around it somewhere else. I’m afraid it will be daybreak by the time we go up the mountain."
Bi Jun also nodded and said: "Yes. Secretary Yu. The custom here is like this. As long as a relative dies, the people in the village will keep vigil for him. Even if we go over to persuade them to go back, it is useless. In the mountains. Everyone respects customs and habits more than anything else."
After hearing this, Yu Fan nodded. After thinking for a long time, he looked at Bi Jun and said, "Comrade Bi Jun, tell me honestly. Is this chain bridge really too dangerous for people to leave now?" This question actually asked. Bi Jun hesitated for a while, but after a while he still said firmly: "Secretary Yu, this bridge is actually not as dangerous as said. It's just that something like this just happened on the bridge. Everyone is very scared. .That’s why it becomes like this. However, as long as you wait for a while and everyone gets used to it, they will still walk on the bridge. After all, the shortest distance from the other side of the mountain to this side is walking on the bridge. "
With a slight groan, Yu Fan also nodded and said, "Well, since you are so sure, after the things are ready, you and I will be responsible for transporting them to the other side. We can't make the villagers sad and hurt their health at this time. "As soon as these words came out, Lu Da, the police chief on the side, immediately shouted: "This is not possible. Secretary Yu, if you want to send him off, we will go to him. How can we let you take the risk yourself?"
Cui Hanming and Township Chief Huang Lin on the side also stood up. They said anxiously: "Yes. Secretary Yu, you can't take this risk. Let us deliver it." If Yu Fan's identity. If something unexpected happens here, then they shouldn't talk about the future. Even they are very uneasy.
However, Yu Fan was not persuaded by them. Instead, he looked at Bi Jun who was restless and said with a smile: "Deputy Mayor Bi. Let me ask you again. Are you sure this bridge is safe?" Bi Jun didn't want Yu Fan to take this risk now. But after hearing Yu Fan's words, he still insisted: "Secretary Yu, this bridge is absolutely safe. At the beginning of this year, I and several other villagers worked on it. The wooden boards were replaced again. But..."
Yu Fan knew what Bi Jun wanted to say later. He also smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's absolutely safe. You go and prepare your things." Seeing them, they still wanted to say something. Yu Fan said decisively: "Teacher Xu. An old man in his seventies has been walking back and forth on this bridge for three years without any problems. Do I, at such a young age, not even have this courage? If I look at the villagers on the other side suffering from the cold, why should I stay here? If you don’t do anything, then what am I doing here?”
Cui Hanming and Huang Lin looked at each other helplessly at this time. Secretary Yu's words were so firm. How else could they persuade them? Luda on the side said loudly: "No. Secretary Yu .You can't take this risk. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to County Magistrate Chu and the county leaders? I think it's better for me to go."
Waving his hand, Yu Fan looked at him and said with a smile: "You old Lu, didn't you listen to Deputy Township Chief Bi? This bridge is absolutely safe. What can happen to me?" Lu Da also felt a little hateful at this time. He glanced at Bi Jun who was standing aside with hatred. However, Bi Jun was not afraid of him. He could absolutely guarantee the safety of the chain bridge.
"That's not possible. Secretary Yu. Even if you want to go, you still want me to go with you." Luda did not dare to take this risk. For him, Yu Fan's safety was more important than anything else.
Yu Fan naturally knew what Luda was thinking. He smiled and said, "Yes. This proves that you are a good police chief. You are not the kind of person who gets weak when encountering difficulties. Haha." "He turned around and glanced at Bi Jun. He smiled and said, "But this question depends on Comrade Bi Jun's opinion. Whether so many people can go there is up to him."
Hearing this, Bi Jun said without hesitation: "No problem. Secretary Yu. The bridge is solid. It will be no problem for two more people to get on." When he said this, Cui Hanming and Huang Lin on the side strangled his heart. It’s all there. What do you mean it’s okay to get two more people on board? Doesn’t this mean letting them both get up too?
But now that he had said this, secretary Cui Hanming also immediately expressed his position: "Then this is best. The two of us can just help. After all, there are so many things. It is easier to take more if there are more people." Although the response was very fast, there was no pause in the words. A little trembling. Yu Fan also laughed secretly. "You don't need to go. You still have to sit in and direct things here."
Wealth is sought in danger. Cui Hanming gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "Secretary Yu, you have already passed. How can we stay here? Besides, things here are relatively simple. The people below can take care of everything. You still let us Let's go there with you. Besides, Deputy Township Mayor Bi also said that there is nothing wrong with this bridge."
