Standing there with a serious look on his face, Yu Fan could finally understand why the blankness and helplessness he saw in the old man's eyes just now represented. This made Yu Fan couldn't help but feel sad. His husband had to do this for this. The country sacrificed its life, but it was due to some negligence of the local civil affairs department that he did not receive the fair treatment he deserved. A man who has sacrificed for twenty years has not yet been awarded the title of 'martyr'.
"Secretary Yu. Ke Lixing, the director of the District Civil Affairs Bureau, is the brother-in-law of District Chief Ding." Tian Yufen whispered from the side. Yu Fan frowned when he heard that he was Ding Zhenghe's brother-in-law. But that's not what Yu Fan was thinking about now. .But what does Tian Yufen mean by saying this? Is telling herself this now to remind herself? Or is she trying to provoke something?
This is not what Yu Fan needs to care about now. He doesn't even bother to sense. Yu Fan snorted lightly. He looked at Tian Yufen and said: "No one's brother-in-law can do it. Today, this matter must be properly resolved. Director Tian. Follow Let me go to the petition office." After saying that, without waiting for her to answer, he turned around and walked out.
Ke Lixing, the director of the District Civil Affairs Bureau, was unlucky today. He played mahjong all night with several bureau chiefs last night. When he was sleeping soundly in the morning, his secretary called. The phone rang for a long time. Finally, he got the call. He woke up. As soon as he answered the phone, Ke Lixing said impatiently: "Who is it? Don't you know I'm resting?"
The loud voice made the secretary over there tremble. But he still said quickly: "Director. Secretary Yu wants you to go to the district committee." Ke Lixing was still in a daze and had not yet woken up. "What Secretary Yu? Where did Secretary Yu come from?" The secretary hurriedly explained: "The newly appointed Secretary Yu of the District Committee. I want you to go to the District Committee immediately."
When Ke Lixing heard this, he thought for a long time before he said, "Did you tell me what it was about?" The secretary said, "I didn't say what it was about. I just asked you to go immediately. It sounded like he was in a hurry. I The driver has already been sent to pick you up." Ke Lixing said softly, but he was filled with doubts as to what the newly appointed District Party Committee Secretary Yu wanted to do with him.
Although Yu Fan, the newly appointed secretary of the district party committee and the director of civil affairs, has only met him once, he has heard it many times at his brother-in-law's house. He seems to be a person with a good background in the province. Even his brother-in-law treats him well. He had some scruples. He had discussed it with the bureau chiefs yesterday when they were playing cards. They all felt that the new district committee secretary should be a very powerful person.
Judging from his methods in the district public security bureau, it can be felt that Secretary Yu is not generally strong. He directly uses the Discipline Inspection Commission. This is not something ordinary people can do. If it is not done well, it will easily cause public anger. But Ke Li Xing didn't have much feeling. His brother-in-law was the district chief. This was a well-known fact in Qingling District. Anyone who wanted to touch him had to think carefully.
Although he said that, when he heard the news that Yu Fan wanted to see him, he immediately got up and went downstairs. The driver below had already parked the car in front of his house. Before getting in the car, he still felt uneasy. Again I called my brother-in-law Ding Zhenghe.
Ding Zhenghe frowned when he received a call from his brother-in-law. Could it be that the secretary of the district committee wants to attack the Civil Affairs Bureau again? Humph. Who in the district doesn't know that the director of civil affairs is his brother-in-law. If he really dares to do this, then what? It's just a slap in the face. I'm not that easy to bully.
Thinking of this, Ding Zhenghe also called his secretary in. "Do you know what happened when Secretary Yu wanted to see the Director of Civil Affairs?" The secretary was stunned for a moment. Then he said softly: "District Chief. I heard he is. For that pension thing." Ding Zhenghe was stunned when he heard this. "What pension?"
The secretary smiled and said: "It's the pension issue from twenty years ago. I heard that it was caused by Secretary Yu seeing the old lady who sits there every year outside the district committee door this morning." That's what he said. Ding Zhenghe also remembered what was going on. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "So that's what happened. But no one petitioned for this matter. Why did it happen?"
The secretary nodded and said, "Yes. Secretary Yu asked someone to help the old lady to the district petition office. Just now I saw Secretary Yu and Director Tian entering the petition office. They probably went to deal with this matter."
Ding Zhenghe smiled bitterly and shook his head. "These are old almanacs. Now dig them out. Even if we want to hold people accountable, where can we find the person?" Although he said this, he was thinking about other issues at the moment. Could it be that Is the question really that simple? What's the point of uncovering something that happened twenty years ago? Could it be that he wants to use his brother-in-law to target him? Thinking of this, Ding Zhenghe's expression changed. He looked at his secretary and said: " You should immediately go see how this matter is handled. If you have any problems, please report to me at any time." The secretary nodded, turned around and walked out.
Of course, Ding Zhenghe was not the only one who paid attention to this matter. Others also understood this matter at this moment. For a while, the District Committee's Petition Office seemed to have become the focus of the District Committee today.
At this time, Yu Fan walked into the district petition office with a serious face. Wang Dahai, director of the petition office, was already waiting there. Today is the busiest day of the petition office. Originally, the district petition office was to receive petitions The place where complaints are made. But people nowadays don’t seem to have much trust in the district-level petition office. If they want to file a complaint, they will go directly to the city or province. Therefore, the daily workload of him, the director of the petition office, is actually not large.
When Yu Fan walked in, the old man was still sitting dumbly on the sofa in the Petition Office. Su Lei was accompanying the old man beside him. When he saw the old man's eyes, Yu Fan couldn't help but trembled in his heart. What kind of feeling was that? He couldn't describe the look in his eyes. They looked sad, confused, and seemed a little desperate.
"How is it?" Yu Fan looked at Su Lei and asked. Su Lei took the initiative to stay at the Petition Office today. Naturally, he had to seriously complete the tasks assigned to him by Secretary Yu. However, the old man seemed to have no reaction at all. No matter what Su Lei said to her, she remained silent.
Su Lei shook his head. He looked at Yu Fan and felt a little annoyed. This was the first time Secretary Yu gave him a task. He actually failed it. He didn't know if he would have such an opportunity in the future.
"Secretary Yu has been like this since she came in. No matter how I asked her, she never said a word. "Su Lei has indeed tried his best. He originally thought that today was an opportunity for him. No matter what, let him Secretary Yu remembered that he was also good. He didn't expect that the final result would be like this.
Yu Fan could see this situation as soon as he walked in. Hearing Su Lei's words, he didn't say a word. He just walked up to the old man with a solemn expression. He squatted down gently and said, "Comrade Li Guangrong starts today. He was officially posthumously awarded as a 'martyr.'" His gentle words caused waves on the old man's face. His originally empty eyes were now glowing. He turned to look at Yu Fan blankly and murmured. Said: "Martyr."
Yu Fan nodded solemnly. "Yes. Comrade Li Guangrong died guarding the borders of our motherland and defending our people. He will live in our hearts forever." For some reason, Yu Fan didn't go at all. No matter how he felt, he could understand what the old man was thinking.
Pension. Although the old man's clothes are very simple, they are very neat and clean. It is obvious that she takes good care of her children. The pension from twenty years ago is really nothing now. The old man has been so persistent for twenty years. It is just to get his husband the glory that should belong to him... a martyr.
Yu Fan could even feel how the old man stopped the leaders at the door of the district committee and begged them to return the honor that originally belonged to his husband. But as time went by, the old man changed from his original hopes and expectations to Despair. And now she is at a loss. And her persistence over the past twenty years was not for some bullshit pension. It was just for those two words...martyr.
For a moment, after hearing Yu Fan's words, the old man's eyes slowly became bright. Gradually filled with tears, his expression seemed a little excited. The hand holding the photo became slightly trembling, which made Yu Fan couldn't help it. He reached out his hand and held her tightly.
"Are you really a martyr?" The old man's voice was trembling. He seemed unsure of what Yu Fan said. But Yu Fan nodded firmly and said, "He is a martyr. As a district committee secretary, I Personal guarantee.”
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He held Yu Fan's hand and said excitedly: "Thank you, Comrade Secretary of the District Committee." After saying that, he turned around the photo he was holding in his hands and looked at the wrinkled person in the photo. There was also a smile on his face. "Glorious. You are finally a martyr now." Hearing these words, Yu Fan's eyes became sore.
And just after the old man said these words, it seemed as if something had finally been put down. A happy smile appeared on his face, but his body softened and he slowly fell backwards. Yu Fan's face changed as he saw it. Change. He rushed over and hugged the old man. He looked back at the people in the office and shouted loudly: "Call an ambulance quickly."
Following Yu Fan's roar, the office suddenly became a mess. Tian Yufen kept a clear head. She immediately took out her mobile phone and asked the hospital closest to the district committee to provide rescue as quickly as possible in the name of the district committee. The car drove over.
He carried the old man into the ambulance. Su Lei also took the initiative to go with the car to the hospital. Yu Fan nodded and told him that the hospital must do its best to treat the old man. In the end, he was still worried and asked Qi Yuan to follow him in person.
Watching the ambulance go away, Yu Fan's heart was in confusion. Now his mind was full of the old man's smile before he fainted. For a moment, he didn't know what he felt. At this time, Tian Yufen was walking with Ke Li. Come here. "Secretary Yu. This is Comrade Ke Lixing, the district civil affairs director."
"Hello, Secretary Yu." Ke Lixing had already rushed over as fast as he could. When he saw Yu Fan, he also extended his hand enthusiastically. Yu Fan gave him a cold look and ignored him at all. He turned his hand to Tian Yufen and said: "Director Tian, please inform all the standing committee members that we are going to hold a temporary standing committee." At this point, he turned his head and glanced at Ke Lixing, who was looking embarrassed, and said: "Comrade Ke Lixing, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, also attended the meeting."
