Chapter 142 [The brilliance of human nature](2/2)
"The same to you!"
Both of them were concerned about each other, but in this case, they could not speak freely. They all had a job to do. After their eyes were entangled for a while, Qin Qing turned around and left. She also had to accompany Li Changyu to inspect other places in Chunyang.
Hu Aimin's death was very shocking to Zhang Yang. For the first time, he did not consider his political achievements or the opportunity to be promoted. He devoted himself to flood control and rescue work.
After fighting in Xiaoqing River for two days and two nights, the most dangerous time of spring flood this year finally passed. Zhang Yang and his flood control team also completed the task. Zhang Yang did not return to Jiangcheng immediately with the other team members, but went to Chunyang to see the disaster situation at home.
The heavy rainstorms in Chunyang County have also suffered floods. Although the flood has receded, the mud left behind can be seen in the streets and alleys. A smell of wet and mold is floating in the air. The sun has already come out, but the sun still feels sticky when it shines on the body.
There is still a deep water accumulation in the yard of the dormitory of the agricultural machinery factory. This old factory dormitory has poor drainage facilities. Zhang Yang waded knee-deep water to the door and saw Zhao Tiesheng and Zhao Lijun putting quilts on the table, hoping to use the sun to dry the clothes and cups at home.
When they saw Zhang Yang, both of them greeted him with a smile. Since the Spring Festival, their relationship has become harmonious.
Zhang Yang called Uncle Zhao, Big Brother, and walked over in the water.
Xu Lihua, who was cleaning up in the room, heard Zhang Yang's voice and walked out of it, and said with a smile: "San'er is back. County Magistrate Qin came to inspect the disaster the day before yesterday and said that you were here to fight the flood. I didn't expect that you would come here today!" Although Qin Qing had become the county party secretary, the people still used to calling her County Magistrate Qin.
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I have been surviving in Xiaoqing River. Now that the flood peak has passed, I have time to come. How is the family? Is the disaster severely affected?"
Zhao Tiesheng came over and sighed, "The things have been soaked, but fortunately there is no valuable thing. I live in a bungalow like this. I have suffered disasters in the past. I am still prepared for it this year, and I have put all the electrical appliances in place properly."
Zhang Yang said: "It's fine if there's no big loss!" He called his mother to the room and gave her another thousand yuan.
Xu Lihua insisted on stuffing him back, and said angrily: "The family is not short of money, you keep it yourself. If you are so adult, you have to spend money even when you are friends!"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "They all know how to save me money!"
Xu Lihua didn't like to listen to these words, and said with a straight face: "You kid, you can't be unqualified all day long. You should have a partner early when you are such an adult. Those girls are good, don't cheat others!"
Zhang Yang was a little overwhelmed when he heard her say this. He hurriedly said that he had important matters to deal with when he went to the county, and turned around and fled the house.
Zhang Yang came back to Chunyang this time and had another idea to go to Hu Aimin's house. He had no relationship with Hu Aimin in the past, so he was not sure where Hu Aimin lived. He contacted Wang Boxiong, director of the Taxation Bureau, in advance. Wang Boxiong drove to the agricultural machinery factory to pick up Zhang Yang.
As soon as Zhang Yang got in the car, Wang Boxiong told Zhang Yang something that Hu Aimin was found to be involved with Yang Shouyi before his death. He had given gifts to Yang Shouyi many times in the past.
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Is this true?"
Wang Boxiong nodded and said, "Really, someone has reported this to the county discipline inspection commission!"
Zhang Yang said: "No matter what Hu Aimin has done in the past, his behavior of sacrificing himself to save others is obvious to all. We cannot deny his current contribution just because of the mistakes he has made in the past, right?"
Wang Boxiong said: "The county has not yet vigorously promoted this matter. It may be because of this. I think we should be more cautious before the county makes the final decision."
Zhang Yang said angrily: "I'm afraid of a bird! If you don't go, I'll go. I saw it with my own eyes when Hu Aimin died. He was a man, and I must send him off!"
Hu Aimin lives in the employee dormitory of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. Hu Aimin bribed Yang Shouyi has been rumored to be a hot topic, which has caused him to die bravely and bravely. There are even rumors that Hu Aimin committed suicide because of his crime.
The pressure Hu Aimin's wife and children have been under great pressure in the past few days. At the beginning, some people said that Hu Aimin died to save people and was a hero, but later some people said that Hu Aimin committed suicide because of bribery and was afraid of crime. The spirit shed was built for a few days, and only a few relatives and friends came to pay their respects. No one in the official office came forward to pay their respects.
When Zhang Yang and Wang Boxiong went to pay their respects, Hu Aimin's wife Wang Jingru cried very sadly because Zhang Yang and Wang Boxiong had worked with Hu Aimin in Heishanzi Township in the past. She did not know the grudges between her husband and them in the past. In her opinion, the appearance of Wang Boxiong and Zhang Yang represents the official.
Zhang Yang noticed that Hu Aimin's son Hu Yuanjian was doing homework on the square table in the spirit shed, wiping tears while doing homework. The child was only twelve years old and was in the first grade of junior high school in Chunyang County. He studied very well. After his father died, he kept crying silently, but he pretended to be strong, afraid that his mother would be sad.
Zhang Yang and Wang Boxiong bowed three times in front of Hu Aimin's portrait, and then came to Wang Jingru. Both of them left five hundred yuan each. Zhang Yang originally wanted to keep more, but after all, he came with Wang Boxiong, and after all, he had to take into account his face. Besides, 500 yuan is not much now.
Wang Boxiong expressed deep sympathy and advised Wang Jingru to be mournful and follow the changes. Wang Jingru said with tears in her eyes: "Secretary Wang, I have something to ask you!" She looked at her son: "Little Ship, go out!"
Hu Yuanchuan nodded and walked out of the spirit shed with red eyes.
When Wang Jingru saw her son leave, she said: "Secretary Wang, did our old Hu make a mistake? Did he commit suicide by fear of crime as others said?" She called Wang Boxiong like that in Heishanzi Township. This matter has been haunting the two of them for the past two days. Wang Jingru needs an answer.
Wang Boxiong really couldn't answer her question. Although he also sympathized with the mother and son, Hu Aimin did have bribery. No matter what he did before his death, the mistakes he made could not be erased. Wang Boxiong is neither Hu Aimin's leader nor a cadre of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He has no say in Hu Aimin's problem. He said cautiously: "Xiao Wang, if you believe in the organization, you will definitely give Director Hu a fair explanation!" This is equivalent to not saying the same thing.
Wang Jingru's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Zhang Yang couldn't bear to bear it anymore, so he shouted: "Sister-in-law, Township Mayor Hu is a hero, he saved the little girl's life. I can testify to this point. There are many people present at that time who can testify. Don't worry, this matter will definitely be fair!"
Wang Jingru nodded excitedly, covered her mouth and sobbed in a low voice. This was the first time since her husband died that someone said in front of her that his husband was a hero and a martyr who bravely acted.
When Wang Boxiong and Zhang Yang came to the car, Hu Aimin's son chased him and came to Zhang Yang: "Uncle! Uncle!"
Zhang Yang stopped.
Hu Yuanjian looked at Zhang Yang with red eyes full of hope and said, "Uncle, you just said that my father is a hero!"
Zhang Yang nodded heavily: "He is a hero, you must be proud of having such a father!"
Hu Yuanjian pursed his lips, but tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Zhang Yang's heart was heavy and depressed along the way. The tears of Wang Jingru and Hu Yuanjian were always shaking in front of him, and there was an unspeakable emotion in his heart to vent. Wang Boxiong was also speechless. He had worked with Hu Aimin for many years. In the past, they fought openly and secretly. He had no good feelings for Hu Aimin. He always felt that this person was too utilitarian and was only thinking about speculation and franchise. In fact, the attitude he had received in his career was not the same. When he heard that Hu Aimin died to save people.
The first thought of the news was that he could not believe that such a versatile person would make such a passionate choice at the critical moment of life and death. When he confirmed all this, he shed tears and even began to reflect on his past. If he put him and Hu Aimin in the same position, he could not guarantee that he could have the same courage as Hu Aimin. When Hu Aimin chose to save people, the glory of other human nature had been interpreted in front of everyone, which was a kind of shock to the soul.
Wang Boxiong was moved silently in his heart, but Zhang Yang could not remain silent. He asked Wang Boxiong to send himself to the Chunyang County Party Committee and County Government. He wanted to ask for an explanation for Hu Aimin, and he wanted to ask for an explanation for the deceased's wife and son!
When Zhang Yang appeared in the county party secretary's office, Qin Qing realized from his compassionate expression why he came today. She asked the secretary to go out, then pointed to the sofa and signaled Zhang Yang to sit down before talking.
There are very few subordinates who can get Secretary Qin to serve tea and water in his own hands. Zhang Yang is undoubtedly the most qualified one. As a result, the tea cup brought by Qin Qing was her own. Zhang Yang took a sip and looked at Qin Qing. The flood prevention and control work in the past two days was extremely severe. She obviously reduced a lot, and the anger in her heart had disappeared a little. What's more, Qin Qing showed such a sincere and humble attitude from the beginning. Even if he had some resentment, he would not make it easy to cause it. Zhang Yang put down the tea cup and said, "Secretary Qin, I came here this time to talk to you about Hu Aimin's affairs!"
When Qin Qing heard his name, he knew that he came under the banner of official business, which also proved that he was very dissatisfied with his handling of Hu Aimin's affairs. Qin Qing cared about Zhang Yang's feelings very much, and she whispered: "Zhang Yang, this matter is very complicated. Hu Aimin's self-sacrifice to save others is indeed very touching, but the Discipline Inspection Commission has already obtained evidence of his past bribery to Yang Shouyi. In order to serve as the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, he gave Yang Shouyi, the secretary of the Qianchunyang County Party Committee, to serve as the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, he gave 10,000 yuan to Yang Shouyi, the secretary of the Qianchunyang County Party Committee."
Zhang Yang shouted: "He is dead! Even if he did something wrong in the past, it is over!"
Qin Qing bit her lip, and she patiently said to Zhang Yang: "We are people in the system, and everything must be done according to the established rules. I admit that Hu Aimin sacrifices himself to save others is a fact, but his bribery is also a fact. We Communists pay attention to seeking truth from facts and cannot completely overturn the mistakes he has made just because he saves people..."
Zhang Yang roared: "Do you know the deceased have the greatest? Have you ever seen his wife and children, a woman lost her husband, a son lost her father, and rumors of Hu Aimin committing suicide fearlessly are spreading outside. Is this fair to them? Have you ever thought about how much pressure they are under? What do they need? They need justice! They need to know that there is a heroic husband and a father to be proud of!" Zhang Yang's emotions became obviously excited, and his chest was fluctuating violently.
Qin Qing bit her cherry lips and whispered: "Zhang Yang, the city decided not to promote Hu Aimin's affairs and not to pursue the matter!" Her pretty face showed a helpless look. She also disagreed with the city's actions on Hu Aimin's affairs, but the city obviously showed great sensitivity to everyone involved in the Yang Shouyi case. After Hu Aimin's affairs were reported, the city held a special standing committee meeting and finally made a decision not to promote or pursue the matter.
Zhang Yang stood up suddenly: "I'll go find them, I don't believe that there is no justice in this world!"
Qin Qing grabbed Zhang Yang's arm: "Don't go, you can't change the decision of your superiors!"
Zhang Yang roared angrily: "No matter what price I pay, no matter who I go to, I will give him justice and comfort me!"
Qin Qing's eyes were red, but his heart was deeply shocked by the ostentatious roar. She finally made a difficult decision: "Don't worry, I will attend Hu Aimin's funeral!" This was already rare for her. Her attendance at Hu Aimin's funeral means that Chunyang County Party Committee and County Government affirmed Hu Aimin's deeds.
Zhang Yang looked at Qin Qing silently, looking at her misty tears, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. This was not Qin Qing's decision. Hu Aimin's funeral involved the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. He should not vent all his resentment on Qin Qing.
Qin Qing’s decision to attend Hu Aimin’s funeral was not an official, and she had no right to represent the official, but her attendance was of extraordinary significance to Hu Aimin’s wife and children. In their eyes, Qin Qing represented Chunyang and the official recognition of Hu Aimin’s heroic deeds.
When Qin Qing saw Hu Yuanjian's clear and sad eyes, she cried. She finally understood why Zhang Yang was so excited. She finally understood why Zhang Yang wanted to give Hu Aimin justice regardless of everything. The deceased was gone. No matter what mistakes he made in the past, his determination before his death had erupted all the glory of other human nature in an instant.
Before coming here, Zhang Yang handed over 5,000 yuan to Qin Qing and asked Qin Qing to give it to Wang Jingru in the name of the county party committee and county government. Qin Qing knew that Zhang Yang wanted to use this method to tactfully prove to the poor mother and son that Hu Aimin was a hero, and Qin Qing did not refuse.
When Wang Jingru received the money, she cried loudly. After her emotions calmed down, she returned the money to Qin Qing's hands. She whispered: "Secretary Qin, we cannot accept this money. Aimin's death made us sad. But we know why he died, and we are proud and proud of him. No matter how others look at him or what others think, I don't think he will regret his choice. He will live in the hearts of our mother and mother forever..." She wiped her tears and said: "Secretary Qin, really, we mother and mother have a feeling that he is always by our side, smiling and looking at us... He really didn't go far..." When Wang Jingru cried, Qin Qing also cried, both because of touching and guilt. She felt that the Chunyang County Party Committee was indeed unfair in handling Hu Aimin's affairs.
Wang Jingru said: "I have a job and I can support my son. I donate the money to that elementary school on behalf of our Lao Hu, and donate it to the children who lost the school building. Lao Hu sacrificed his life to save those children. We both cannot add burden to the country, and cannot embarrass him..."
Zhang Yang, who was standing aside, could no longer bear to listen. He suddenly turned around and saw a little girl holding white daisies in the distance walking towards the memorial hall with tears in her eyes. Behind her were more than a hundred children, each child holding a bouquet of daisies in her hands, hundreds... Thousands of Yinzhuang villagers who came spontaneously, as well as villagers from various villages who heard about this followed her silently.
Zhang Yang found familiar and unfamiliar faces from it. He saw Liu Chuankui, Guo Daliang, Wang Boxiong, Yu Qiuling, Geng Xiuju... Everyone was using their most sincere remembrance to see Hu Aimin off... Blood is always hot!
Under the gloomy sky, the square in front of the memorial hall was already crowded with people coming to mourn. An old and sad voice sounded in front of the world: "Captain Hu! You are a man, we are all here to see you off, go all the way!" Liu Chuankui sprinkled a bowl of wine in his hand in front of the memorial hall, and then knelt on the ground with his knees. The villagers knelt down, and they expressed their most sincere respect for the deceased in this oldest way.
