Chapter 120: The situation is serious

Updated: 2012-08-21

From the second half of the night, the collapse accidents were reported one after another.

Not only did the county call continuously to inquire about the disaster situation, but the municipal disaster prevention system also started to operate, requiring townships with the most severe snow to report the disaster situation regularly - Chen Huai and others also vaguely speculated that the severity of the problem this time may be far beyond imagination.

It was dawn and the snow was getting smaller. Meixi Town received reports from each village, including the cafeteria, and 113 houses had been crushed.

The color steel shed in the vegetable market was too large to send it to clear the snow. At two o'clock in the morning, he couldn't afford to eat and bear food and collapsed from the middle.

Since yesterday afternoon, Meixi Town has successively evacuated more than 800 people; including a family of three who were initially broken and crushed under the room. By the early morning, the town health center had received eleven injuries, but fortunately no one died.

When contacting the county, Chen Huai was not familiar with Qingshe. Chen Huai asked He Qingshe to stay in the town government. He and Li Feng and others divided into four parts, east, west, south and north. They could not drive, so they rode their bicycles to lead the team to each village to understand the situation.

By noon, Chen Huai, who was almost exhausted, returned to the town. The number of people who were injured in the health center was sent to treat due to the disaster to 12, and one was seriously injured and sent to the municipal people's medical department for emergency treatment.

Chen Huai returned to the town and saw He Qingshe and others looking solemn, asking: "How is the situation in other townships?"

"This time, the blizzard covered the entire province. Affected by the airflow, the central area of ​​the blizzard happened to cover the two counties and one districts of Tangzha, Xiapu and Xinjin. The thickness of snow in one day and one night exceeded the highest record in previous years. At present, the disaster situation is summarized. Tangzha District is slightly better. After all, it is an urban area, and the construction quality is generally better than that of the suburbs. There have been more than 3,000 houses in Donghua City, and 70% of them are concentrated in Xiapu and Xinjin. The casualties data will not be reported to the townships, but it is said that six of them were crushed to death in Hetang Town..."

"So serious..." Chen Huai was shocked.

"Our town is also a blessing, Secretary Chen, you will start to deploy disaster prevention in the afternoon," He Qingshe said after thinking about it, "Almost half of the extremely dangerous houses investigated in the town have collapsed. If these families didn't move out earlier, the situation would be worse than Hetang Town..."

This is also the debt, dilapidated and dilapidated houses that have lagged behind in Meixi Town's economic development in recent years, and it cannot withstand the pressure of wind and snow.

Chen Huai didn't care about how Su Kaiwen, Zhou Ming, Xiong sisters, Tan Jingjing and others left Meixi Town in the morning.

Xiao Li still caught a cold at night and had a fever in the morning. The hospital beds in the health center were full of injuries. Chen Dan had to let Xiao Li stay in the hotel room and hung up water. Chen Huai couldn't take the time to check it out.

After eating a boxed meal in the office, Chen Huai sat on the sofa, and his eyelids couldn't be opened when he fought. But as soon as he felt like he was squinting his eyes, he woke up to Huang Xinliang again: "County Magistrate Ge led a team to inspect the disaster..."

Chen Huai ran under the faucet and rubbed his face with biting cold water, then followed Huang Xinliang downstairs.

Three cars in the county just stopped in the government compound, one of which was an interview car from the county TV station.

Ge Yongqiu probably didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were dark and dark, and there was a beautiful woman in a beige coat. She followed Ge Yongqiu out of the car with a microphone. Chen Huai saw that her face was very familiar. When he went down the corridor, he realized that she was the host of the county TV station. Maybe he saw the real person and felt that she looked more vivid and beautiful than on TV.

There is nothing in China, but there is no shortage of beautiful women. Chen Huai couldn't remember the name of this woman; he didn't know where Li Feng met Ge Yongqiu, so he got off the car together.

Chen Huai realized that Ge Yongqiu did not say hello to Meixi Town before coming, but instead raided Meixi Town directly. Li Feng should have met Ge Yongqiu at the disaster relief site.

Chen Huai walked over quietly and shook hands with Ge Yongqiu, saying, "The disaster situation in Meixi Town is very serious. It is great that County Mayor Ge can come to preside over the disaster relief work in person..."

Ge Yongqiu knew that Chen Huai said this to ask for more disaster relief funds. Of course, he hoped that the situation in Meixi Town would be really serious. This would not only curse Chen Huai, but also accuse some people of making such young cadres the top leaders of the townships a irresponsible behavior.

Unfortunately, Meixi Town’s disaster prevention and post-disaster treatment work are much better than other townships.

There is no way to collapse a large number of houses. This is a historical problem and it takes time to digest it. We cannot rely on Chen Huai, who had just taken the position of Party Secretary for a few days. The county received a report from Meixi Town that only fourteen people were injured before and after the disaster, two of them were seriously injured, and no one died. Ge Yongqiu did not believe it.

It was only after receiving the county's disaster prevention notice at night that Hetang Town slowly convened personnel to carry out disaster prevention work. At that time, it was already half past eight, and the road was blocked with heavy snow. It was also difficult to mobilize and persuade villagers to evacuate from dangerous houses. In addition, township cadres were not vigilant enough about the snow disaster, and more than 130 people were injured and six people died overnight. This was the worst-hit area for the snow disaster.

Meixi Town and Hetang Town were next to each other, and no one died, and the number of injured people was only one-tenth of that in Hetang Town. This data was reported to the county, named Tao Jixing, Ge Yongqiu and other county leaders had doubts from the bottom of their hearts: it is not new to conceal the fraud in the following towns.

The county leaders went down to understand the situation and organized disaster relief work. Ge Yongqiu was responsible for the southwest area. He originally planned to rush to Hetang Town, a severely affected area, but he temporarily changed his itinerary without notice. He came to Meixi Town and wanted to launch a raid, saying that Meixi Town had no time to commit fraud.

Before arriving at the town government compound, Ge Yongqiu went out to the health center to see the temporary resettlement site of the victims, and also saw several collapsed houses and the scene where the town cadres organized the masses to clean up the ruins. It has to be admitted that the situation in Meixi Town is much better than the two towns he visited in the morning, and the organization of disaster relief is also very effective...

"The situation in Meixi Town is better than expected, which means that after the new party secretary took office, the entire team has not stopped running. When I go back, I will report to Secretary Tao about Meixi Town's work and ask other towns to learn from Meixi Town." Ge Yongqiu and other people from the TV station carried the camera over and started to speak, "But after the disaster treatment work, your town leaders must pay attention to it, and the top leader must personally grasp the overall situation..."

The camera shook Chen Huai's face twice, but without giving Chen Huai a chance to speak, the camera turned off.

Chen Huai blinked, but couldn't kick the guy carrying the camera. The beautiful female host of the county station seemed to care more about the red high heels on her feet ruining the snow, and she had no intention of coming to interview Chen Huai.

Ge Yongqiu was invited to the conference room to deploy the disaster relief situation. Seeing He Qingshe and the county civil affairs bureau director rushing back from behind, Chen Huailou asked behind, "When will the disaster relief funds be released? By the end of the year, I didn't expect this situation. There is no surplus grain in the town..."

"If a house is crushed, one house will be replenished for 500 yuan; if one person is injured or killed, one thousand yuan will be replenished - first lend it and then verify it, and you should go to the accounts of each township in the afternoon." said the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Chen Huai and He Qingshe looked at each other and said nothing.

When he arrived at the conference room, Chen Huai reported the latest post-disaster investigation situation to Ge Yongqiu. Ge Yongqiu looked at the conference room and saw Chen Huai, Li Feng and He Qingshe. Chen Huai did not want to listen to his instructions, so he said a few words without any pain, then got up and went downstairs, and drove directly to Hetang Town.

"His grandma, Ganqing Meixi Town has done the best disaster prevention work, but it is the most disadvantage when it comes to the end! It's useless to pay less than 100,000 yuan in disaster relief funds!" He Qingshe sent him to leave by car, and when he returned to the conference room, he couldn't help but complain.

"Secretary Chen, look at us, we do our best work. When the TV station is broadcasting, it must be the scene of disaster relief in other towns. Hetang's secretary fell seriously injured in the night's disaster relief. The county sent a special car to pick him up to the large hospital for treatment. He still insisted on staying in Hetang to host the work. The county station reported his 'hero' deeds for an hour in the morning..." Li Feng said in a muffled voice, very dissatisfied with the county TV station not turning on the camera to give him two shots. "This was also the case when the Meixi River was flooded a few years ago. Some towns did well in flood prevention work, but nothing happened. Some towns did not do well in flood prevention work, collapsed the embankment, washed the house, and drowned people. As a result, at the commendation meeting, the townships who did well in flood prevention work did not show their faces. Instead, there was a problem. Because of the disaster relief performance, they were commended by the county - this is purely bullying honest people!"

Chen Huai knew about the unpragmatic and focused on performance in the government, but he didn't want to follow He Qingshe. Li Feng complained and said with a smile: "I think this is better than being seriously injured when I fell and went to interview me, I think it's better for us..."

He Qingshe thought Chen Huai's resentment would be stronger than theirs, but he didn't expect his mentality to be so good, and he secretly admired him for being calm.

Thinking back on the events of this day and night, He Qingshe was also full of fear. To be honest, Chen Huai returned to the town yesterday afternoon and started to deploy disaster prevention work without any notice from superiors. He Qingshe felt that Chen Huai was a little tricky at that time. What problems could happen in the snow these days? It is said that auspicious snow indicates abundant snow. There is a heavy snow before the Spring Festival. It is God who is helping Meixi Town with a bumper agricultural harvest next year.

However, He Qingshe respected him as the secretary and when he was just taking office and establishing authority, he did not object and deployed the disaster prevention work without fail.

He Qingshe also knew that he was not alone in his carelessness. Many cadres in the town complained. During the New Year, it was snowing heavily in the village. Who would want to go to trouble in the village?

At 8:30 at night, he received a notice of disaster prevention and relief in the county and knew that there had been collapses in other towns. He Qingshe knew how vigilant Chen Huai was. After 8:30 at night, the road was closed again with heavy snow. He wanted to deploy disaster prevention work, but he was too willing but not enough. Meixi Town did the disaster prevention work in the afternoon. At night, only the town area was needed. Even if the scattered villages were not taken into consideration, they would not have to worry about major problems.

Of course, until this morning, the disasters and losses were summarized, and the severe snow disaster was still far beyond He Qingshe and his friends' imagination, and only then did they know how lucky Meixi Town was.

The collapse of houses in Meixi Town is even more serious than Hetang Town. If Shen Huai made a quick decision yesterday afternoon, the casualties in Meixi Town were unimaginable.

Although less relief funds are dissatisfied, it is much better than the result of hundreds of casualties.

Speaking of which, the disaster prevention and relief work in Meixi Town is so outstanding, Chen Huai is the timely judgment of the disaster situation and decisive deployment. If the county really ignores the achievements of Meixi Town, it should be that Chen Huai is most wronged.

Seeing that Chen Huaihun did not take it seriously, He Qingshe realized that he thought he had been practicing at the grassroots level for twenty years, but his timing was really not as good as a young man who was only twenty-five years old after the Chinese New Year. He should have been the seat of the Party Secretary, and this was only then that he was truly convinced.
