Hearing about Yu Fan crossing the cable suspension bridge, Chang Da, director of the county party committee office, also expressed strong opposition. The county party committee secretary took the risk himself. It was not worth it for him. Besides, it was night again, although there were torches on both sides. According to this, it is also very dangerous. But Yu Fan's attitude is very determined. He was the first to propose the establishment of party member leaders throughout the county. An old man in his seventies was on this bridge. I have been going back and forth for three years. But he, the secretary of the county party committee, does not even have the courage to go there. He is still a secretary of the county party committee.
Yu Fan flatly refused Chang Da's request to go together. Now the county standing committee members have gone back. It is impossible that there is not even a responsible person here. Although there are not many villagers here, the memorial service The coordination work still needs someone to preside over it. Although the stage for the memorial service has been set up, I am afraid no one is more familiar with how to arrange it than Chang Da.
Although the torches on both sides illuminated the entire mountain stream, in the dark night, the cable bridge was like a giant python lying between the two peaks. It was winding and circling under the passing mountain wind, shaking back and forth and making waves. There was a harsh sound. Looking at the bottomless mountain stream under the bridge, Yu Fan felt palpitations. But Bi Jun, who was walking in front, raised his legs and walked up without hesitation. This made Yu Fan feel the only trace in his heart. Worry also completely disappeared.
Someone has said that if you are standing at a high place and walking, it is best not to look down. Yu Fan is like this now, staring straight ahead. In order to distract himself, he also asked Bi Jun with a smile. : "This bridge is really strong. I can still trust your guarantee."
Because he was holding a torch, Bi Jun couldn't turn his head back when he spoke. "Yes. Secretary Yu. This bridge has a history of more than fifty years here. It has always been very strong."
Fifty years. Yu Fan felt his heart tremble when he heard it. Damn it. How could he ask him this? This Bi Jun is really an honest man. He can even speak so well. Yu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He actually regretted talking to him. It's coming up. I'm afraid even a bridge made of reinforced concrete wouldn't dare to say that it has a service life of fifty years. It's a shame he was so sure of it.
Looking back at the three people behind him, Luda said he was extremely brave, but if he really came up, his pace would not be much stronger than that of a child, let alone the two people behind him. From this look, Yu Fan was actually I have a little more courage. Compared to them, I seem a lot braver.
But then again, people who have never walked on the chain bridge will not understand this kind of fear. It is like walking on a rope and swinging back and forth. Especially when it is windy. In fact, you will You find that your life is like the leaves falling in the sky. It is not under your control at all. Yu Fan is very lucky that he is walking behind Bi Jun. Someone is leading you in front. Your footsteps will also Accelerate involuntarily.
The people on the opposite side soon discovered someone walking on the chain suspension bridge. The exclamations kept ringing out. Something happened to this suspension bridge during the day. There were actually people walking on it at night. They couldn't help but scream loudly. Hearing the huge echo, Yu Fan's heart trembled. But fortunately with Bi Jun's leadership, everyone finally made it through most of the way without any danger. Just as they were slowly approaching the opposite side .Bi Jun, who was leading the front, suddenly stood up. Yu Fan, who was following behind, almost ran into him.
"This is where Mr. Xu fell." Before Yu Fan could say anything, Bi Jun turned around and pointed at the outer edge of the cable bridge and said. Yu Fan felt his heart tremble when he heard this. This old man is always worth mentioning. To respect him. He spent three years and his own life telling others what it means to be a true teacher. And his height will always be beyond the reach of the world.
After a short pause, the three people behind him caught up. Bi Jun also quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. This was the first time Yu Fan saw this grown man in tears today. At the time, he asked the county committee to allocate funds to build a school for children in the mountains. At that time, this grown man did not shed a single tear. But today he seemed to be pouring out all his tears.
It can be seen that Bi Jun and Mr. Xu have a very good relationship. It was when Bi Jun was desperate that Mr. Xu resolutely agreed to stay in Niujiao Village to teach. And he did not receive a penny of salary. Instead, he was not paid. Young. Just stay like this for three years. For an old man, three years is actually a long time.
And because of this, Bi Jun felt unspeakable guilt for the old man. From that time on, this mountain man, who had never married in his life, formed a close friendship with this seventy-year-old man. For Bi For the military, Mr. Xu is like his own father. If he had not taught those children here, perhaps Mr. Xu would have lived in the provincial capital and enjoyed his old age.
I didn't know how to comfort Bi Jun. Yu Fan just sighed and patted his shoulder lightly. But he heard Bi Jun say softly: "Secretary Yu, please be careful here. That person next to you A rope is broken."
Yu Fan's heart trembled when he heard this. Then he realized that there was indeed a broken rope at the place where Bi Jun pointed just now. It seemed that Mr. Xu fell from this place at that time. He pointed to the place where the rope was broken. He waved his hands to the back. Everyone also slowly leaned to the other side.
On the other side of the bridge, someone had already begun to hold torches to light up a few people. As soon as a few people came to the bridge, someone began to take the things carried by a few people. Bi Jun often came and went in this area. Almost everyone came. I got to know him. And he also successfully found the village chiefs and secretaries of every village here and brought them to Yu Fan.
After listening to Bi Jun's introduction, Yu Fan also knew that basically all the villagers from the seven villages in the surrounding mountains were here. And these people brought by Bi Jun were also the newly elected village cadres of each village. They were the most prestigious in each village. The villagers shook hands with them one by one. Yu Fan said affectionately: "Comrades, thank you for your hard work. It is really difficult for everyone to stay in the mountains in such cold weather. On behalf of the county, I am here to express my condolences to everyone."
Knowing that Yu Fan was the leader of the county, these villagers looked at each other a little bit. This was the first time they had seen such a young leader, let alone the county party committee secretary. Most of them had lived in the mountains all their lives, let alone the county. Even among the leaders of the township, they had not seen many leaders. Of course, the deputy mayor Bi Jun was excluded.
Behind Yu Fan, Lu Da, Cui Hanming and Huang Lin also began to distribute food to everyone. Now there is no difference between the public security director, secretary and township chief. These people have no idea what kind of officials they are. They only know that the secretary and village chief of their village respect these people very much. They also have a very friendly attitude towards a few of them.
Yu Fan also took Bi Jun to distribute food to these people in person. The temperature in the mountains varied greatly between day and night. The villagers had only bonfires around them to keep warm. Some women still held sleeping children in their arms. Some children's faces
There were still traces of tears on his face, which made Yu Fan feel sad for a while.
There is no way to go on like this. Yu Fan frowned and looked at the secretaries and village chiefs of several villages behind him. He sighed and said: "Can you please advise everyone to go back first. It's such a cold weather. In case the children catch a cold tomorrow.
.That would be even more troublesome.”
After hearing his words, these people also looked at each other, then looked at Yu Fan and shook their heads. One of them said with a sad face: "Secretary Yu, you may not know. Teacher Xu is not only a teacher for our children.
He is also a teacher for those of us. Many of us have taken classes from Teacher Xu.”
Yu Fan was stunned when he heard that there was such a thing. He couldn't help but glance at Bi Jun who was standing aside. Bi Jun also nodded and said: "Secretary Yu, what they said is true. Not only them, but also me.
I have taken Teacher Xu’s class. Some of us here used to work outside all year round. But being illiterate is very inconvenient in the city. Even if you are bullied, you don’t know what is going on. So Mr. Xu also specializes in
I have been giving lessons to these people for a period of time. At least I can help them understand some commonly used words."
After hearing this, Yu Fan sighed softly and nodded slightly. Others also said at this time: "That is, once a teacher, always a father. Some of the things we have learned are all given to us by Teacher Xu.
.If we don’t follow the custom of keeping vigil for the deceased relative today, we will be uneasy for the rest of our lives.”
Since things are like this, Yu Fan has no choice. Yes, you can't disrespect other people's customs. Besides, Mr. Xu is indeed worthy of everyone's respect. But what should I do with so many women and children? It's okay for adults.
Bear with it. How could they endure this kind of suffering?
There was really no other way. Yu Fan could only ask everyone to increase the number of bonfires. Children and women were closest to the bonfires. Others gathered tightly around the bonfires to keep each other warm. In this way, Yu Fan sat closely with everyone.
From time to time, he asked about the situation in each village. But the answers he received also made his heart heavy.
During this period, Dapu County was building roads, attracting investment, and even the rural party building work that he personally proposed was carried out in full swing. This made him somewhat proud. And these villagers living in the mountains
The actual living conditions of Dapu County poured cold water on him. This made him feel a sense of mission and responsibility. The economic construction of Dapu County must be accelerated. The living standards of the people must be improved. He
There is a long way to go to do what needs to be done.
