Since the village is not big, the communication with the correspondent through the phone, coupled with the huge movement of dozens of cars in a long snake formation at the entrance of the village, the cadres of Laolin Village did not dare to hesitate at all, and arrived at the village headquarters very quickly.
Know what emergency meetings you will attend.
Just when the village cadres were speculating about what major event or serious case had occurred in the village, Tang Kangming did not hide anything in front of the village cadres gathered together, but bluntly stated that there was a danger of landslides on the back hillside. The entire village was in danger tonight.
People must move to safe areas.
The meeting room was in an uproar, and everyone was buzzing with discussion. After living in Laolin Village all their lives, no one had heard of the collapse of the back mountain. Where did Secretary Tang get the news?
Besides, how can ordinary people be willing to leave their homes? If the hillside collapses and the houses are gone, where will everyone live in the future? Who will bear the heavy losses caused?
Seeing that all the cadres were talking a lot, but no one started to organize the masses to evacuate, Tang Kangming became angry in a hurry. He slapped the table hard with his big palm, and glanced at everyone's faces with cold eyes:
"What's wrong with you, ah?... What's more important, the house, or the safety of people's lives? There is no vegetation to block it, the continuous heavy rain has hollowed out the mountain, and landslides can happen at any time, but you are lingering here. You know, the whole village
But thousands of lives!
"Now, in the name of the Secretary of the Party Committee of Houshan Township, I order you to immediately organize the masses to evacuate to the township."
The noisy people fell silent for an instant. Seeing that these village cadres were finally calmed down, Tang Kangming relaxed his tone and reminded everyone: "In order to reduce the panic of the people and facilitate an organized evacuation, this evacuation cannot be carried out with the people."
Tell the truth."
Party Secretary Lao Lin, who had been silent at this time, knocked down the fireworks and frowned and asked Tang Kangming: "Secretary Tang, who did you listen to say that there will be a mudslide? Our ancestors have lived here for many years, and we have never heard of a mudslide.
happened.
"Besides, there are hundreds of people, both old and young, where will they live and what will they eat? Who will be responsible for the loss of valuable property of the villagers?"
When Tang Kangming heard this, his anger that had just been extinguished arose again. Party Secretary Lin not only did not support his work, but also obstructed it. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Besides, time waits for no one.
Tang Kangming had indeed doubted the mudslide mentioned by Tang Yin before, but when he saw the actual situation of the mountain, he also realized that the possibility of mountain collapse was very high.
But the crux of the problem is that unlike wind and rain, it cannot be predicted, and there is not enough reason to support this argument.
Just when Tang Kangming was trembling with anger from Party Secretary Lao Lin, but couldn't explain it, a green voice said: "Yes, there has indeed been no mudslides, not even floods, in Laolin Village in history, because it was closed.
"But that was the past. Although Laolin Village is still closed now, people's psychology has changed.
"Going back five years, the hillside behind Laolin Village was full of lush greenery. What now? Now the trees have been cut down in patches, and the mountains are bare. There is no vegetation to protect the mountains.
"And this year, rare thunderstorms that only occur once in a century have continued to occur. The mountain is only an empty frame, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses.
"Just because something hasn't happened before, doesn't mean it won't happen. It's like light bulbs, telephones, cars and houses. Who would have thought that they would now be in thousands of homes?
"Secretary Lao Lin, your feelings are understandable. We have lost our homes and important property, and our lives will be in trouble. But compared with life, what is this? Besides, the municipal and township governments will let the people
Go wandering?"
Party Secretary Lao Lin looked at the young man in astonishment and was stunned by Tang Yin's words. Is this what a young man can say?
"Who are you? You don't seem to be a child from our village. Why are you here?" Seeing that the old party secretary Lin was speechless when Tang Yin refuted it, a village cadre pointed at Tang Yin and asked.
"He is Secretary Tang's son." Director Gu of the police station reminded him hastily. He was afraid that if the village cadres did not know the situation and said something rude to Tang Yin, it would be too embarrassing.
Just in case, police officers from the township police station came with us.
"Ah!..." Everyone exclaimed in astonishment: It's true that a tiger father has no dog son. Secretary Tang's son, what he said is different. Even the children in the city are knowledgeable.
Everyone even felt a little ashamed. They had all participated in the felling of trees that Tang Yin mentioned. They did not expect that such behavior would cause disaster.
Tang Kangming glanced at his son with relief. It was best for his son to say this, so as not to have different meanings when he said it. He was afraid that the village cadres would have unnecessary thoughts and thought that the township would be held accountable for felling the trees: "Hurry up and organize retreats in batches.
, it will be too late if it gets later."
Tang Kangming's urging made everyone shudder and turn their attention to Party Secretary Lao Lin. In Laolin Village, Party Secretary Lao Lin's prestige was not comparable to that of Tang Kangming, the migrant secretary.
Party Secretary Lao Lin looked uncertain, as if he had some indecision that he couldn't solve: "Secretary Tang, it's not that I don't believe you. It's raining so heavily and there are hundreds of villagers, including many elderly and children. If something happens,
The consequences will be disastrous."
Party Secretary Lao Lin's words made Tang Kangming calm down: "You don't need to worry about this. I have already prepared for this. In addition to large trucks, there are also many minibuses this time. The elderly and children are transported away in minibuses.
It doesn't matter.
"In addition, the township has made appropriate arrangements for everyone's temporary accommodation. The canteen at Houshan Township Middle School is ready. And if the disaster is serious, the municipal and township finance committees will allocate funds to build new village residential areas.
.
"The key is not to cause panic among the villagers. The occurrence of riots is not conducive to organizing evacuation."
Seeing that Party Secretary Lao Lin was still hesitant, Tang Kangming said loudly and forcefully again: "If the village does not fulfill its promise, I, Tang Kangming, will use my personality as a guarantee to sell iron and bankrupt the family. I will also ensure the safety of the villagers."
The old Party Secretary's eyes were a little moist. Everyone in Houshan Township knew about Tang Kangming's reputation as a good official who wholeheartedly served the people. Moreover, the old Party Secretary Lin also firmly believed that Tang Kangming would do what he said: "Yes, I will risk my life."
Please resolutely obey your order, Secretary Tang, and evacuate the masses immediately."
Party Secretary Lao Lin finally made up his mind, stood up, and told all the village cadres: "Please remember, we are not in danger of landslides. It's just that the mountain god appears and wants to use Lao Lin Mountain, so all the people must evacuate immediately."
When he saw that the village cadres had also stood up, he gave another sonorous instruction: "Everyone must remember that even your own mother-in-law cannot tell the word "landslide". If anyone lets it slip, I will be the first to forgive him.
he."
Everyone nodded silently. Tang Kangming's sonorous and powerful words also ignited the passion in their hearts. Secretary Tang is a good official who truly serves the people! The village cadres silently glanced at Tang Kangming and the Tang family who performed amazingly.
Young Master, he put on his rain gear and strode into the rain curtain.
Tang Kangming stretched out his big hands, held Old Party Secretary Lin's calloused hands tightly with both hands, and said emotionally to Old Party Secretary Lin: "Great, now the people are safe. Thank you for your support, Old Party Secretary Lin."
Seeing this, Party Secretary Lao Lin hurriedly stretched out his hands to shake hands with Tang Kangming. When he found a long tobacco bag in his hand, he hurriedly threw it on the table and stretched out his hands again.
In his eyes, Tang Kangming was not only the secretary of the township party committee sent by the city, but also an upright official who devoted himself to serving the people. He was flattered that he was treated so politely.
Laolin Village was originally isolated, and the people firmly believed in the mountain god's claims. With the mobilization of the village cadres, there was no panic as expected, and the evacuation work went smoothly.
But when the cadres ordered everyone to take away important valuables, the people became a little confused: Why take away valuables to make way for the mountain god?
There is nothing we can do about this, after all, we have to consider the issue of post-disaster reconstruction. People in the mountains do not farm with machinery, but mostly with cattle. Once the livestock are lost, it will be a heavy blow to the people.
Therefore, the animals must be taken away. Tang Kangming has arranged a place for these animals, and they are placed in the breeding farm of the Township Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station.
The first people to be sent away are the elderly, children, young and middle-aged people, and livestock. After all, the transportation capacity is limited and the roads are muddy and difficult to travel.
For a time, the village was in a state of turmoil. But there was a problem at the beginning. The father of Party Secretary Lin, Mrs. Lin, refused to move out. He wanted to stay at home and stay with his "wife".
In fact, Mrs. Lin passed away a long time ago, when Mrs. Lin was working as secretary. At that time, Mrs. Lin put all her thoughts on the affairs of the village and lacked care for her wife.
That winter, Mrs. Lin continued to have a high fever, and Mrs. Lin was only focused on official duties. As a result, Mrs. Lin died of illness at home. It was not until Mrs. Lin returned home that she found out. At this point, Mrs. Lin felt guilty and self-blame for the death of his wife.
, I have always been worried about it.
But this time Tang Kangming and others mobilized troops and came to Laolin Village, which made Mr. Lin aware of the seriousness of the problem. He was not willing to believe the mountain god's tricks, so he refused to get in the car and leave.
Party Secretary Lao Lin was very aware of Old Mrs. Lin's stubborn character and had nothing to do. Thinking that he had not left either, Secretary Old Lin did not force him, and he did not dare to force Old Mrs. Lin to leave first.
There were hundreds of people in the village, and the elderly and children were taken into consideration, as well as the burden of livestock, and the roads were muddy due to heavy rain. The evacuation progress was very slow. After all the villagers were moved outside the village or into the countryside, it was already dark.
.
As the sky dimmed, the rain became more fierce. The big raindrops were like hailstones, hitting people's skin painfully. The village cadres responsible for regulating the evacuation of the villagers were also tired and hungry, so they wanted to
Have a meal before leaving.
Tang's father and Tang Yin were firmly opposed to this. After dawn, their vision was clear and they could clearly see stones and mud falling from the mountain. Tang Yin knew very well that time waited for no one and the situation was already very urgent.
Just when the village cadres were tired and hungry, and wanted to take a rest, a large boulder suddenly rolled from the mountain to the center of the village. Only then did everyone truly realize that, as Secretary Tang said, there was a danger of landslides in the back mountain.
At this time, Party Secretary Lao Lin no longer dared to hide it, and reported the old man's refusal to leave to Tang Kangming, hoping that Tang Kangming could persuade Mr. Lin to leave Laolin Village with everyone.
When Tang Kangming heard this, he was so angry that he jumped up and down. There is still an old man who has not been transferred yet, and this old man is the father of Party Secretary Lao Lin. Fortunately, he did not make a fuss. If the fuss were made and the villagers knew, who would be willing to get in the car and evacuate?
