Organization Minister

Chapter 3 Shocked

Behind the seven remnants of the wall is a shed that was "combined" with dilapidated rubbish and covered with a piece of poncho that was eroded white by the wind and rain. It looks kind of dirty when mixed together.A gust of cold wind blew over, and the rain cloth covering the shed suddenly made a harsh sound of "哗哗哗!", as if the whole shed was about to be blown to the ground, and there was still some muddy water on the ground. It turns out that this is a relic of the heavy snow a few days ago; in the narrow, dark and damp shed, two beds made of planks and bricks were squeezed desperately, and a sleeping man was lying on one of the beds. The old man, Xie Yongxia recognized at a glance that it was his half-mother. Although the ruthless years had whitened the old man's temples and made her even older, the half-mother who was born and aged in this place was his in this life. An unforgettable benefactor.

"Junzi, what's going on?" Xie Yongxia asked eagerly.Juanzi ignored him at all, and was still busy with work in front of the dark stove built with stones and cement blocks.Xie Yongxia was going crazy with anger, he couldn't help raising his voice, and asked again.At this time, Banniang was awakened.

"Juan'er, Juan'er, who is it?" The old man's weak voice came from the shed, accompanied by a severe cough.

"Juaner, Juaner, who is it?" Seeing that his daughter-in-law did not answer, the old man asked again.

At this time, Juanzi probably felt sorry for her sick mother-in-law, so she said something that made Xie Yongxia feel dark in front of her eyes.

"Mom, don't ask, isn't it the ungrateful and ungrateful brother of the Xie family." "What! What did you say?" Xie Yongxia was like an angry lion, his eyes staring like copper coins, and he couldn't help pinching He raised his fist, but soon realized that he had lost his composure; Juanzi looked at Xie Yongxia's furious look with a sneer, without any expression of panic, and threw out a sentence that made Xie Yongxia want to slam his head against the south wall to death.

"What is the most despicable thing you Xie family brothers dare not do?" "Juaner, Juaner, are you talking about Xiaer or Donger! Who is it?" sound.

At this time, Xie Yongxia quickly walked into the shed, came to the old man's bed, bent down and said to her: "Hannang, Banniang, it's me, I'm Xiaer, I'm here to see you, old man." I was a little excited at the time, trembling and slowly stretched out a pair of hands with protruding veins from under the quilt, gently stroking Xie Yongxia's face, and kept saying, "Is it Xiaer? Is it really Xiaer? Is it really you?" At this moment, he found that the old man was completely blind and had a high fever.

Seeing all this in front of him, Xie Yongxia could no longer hold back the great pain in his heart, tears could not help but gushing out like springs, filling his eyes and gradually blurring his vision. At this unforgettable moment, he was already sobbing.

At this time, another man's cry came from outside the shed, and Xie Yongxia knew immediately that he was Shi Dazhu.He slowly put Ban Niang's hands into the quilt, tidied and tidied the quilt cover for her, then turned around and left the shed.

Shi Dazhu, who was only one year younger than Xie Yongxia but full of gray hair, was squatting on the ground not far from the cuckoo and the stove. "Brother!" Xie Yongxia yelled in a weeping voice, and hurried forward to help Da Zhu up from the ground.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xie Yongxia shook his arm vigorously, but Dazhu still kept crying.

"Just talk! Just talk! An old man only knows how to cry." Juanzi stood in front of the stove and urged him in a reproachful tone.It took a while for Shi Dazhu to speak slowly.

"At the beginning of last year, our Confucian Temple Street was demolished. It was said that the development was carried out by the Yaskawa Urban Construction Company. As a result, the housing was withdrawn, but there was no news of compensation. We asked the county demolition office, and they said that the company's money had not arrived. Go to Anchuan City Company to solve it." Shi Dazhu complained aggrievedly.

"Wait, is the Anchuan Urban Construction Company you're talking about the company owned by Xie Yongdong?" Xie Yongxia interjected.

Shi Dazhu nodded: "Yes." "Everyone on Confucian Temple Street knows about the relationship between your Xie family and our family, and they all say that I will go out to find Xie Yongdong. The staff of the team." "The result?" Xie Yongxia asked.

"I went, but I couldn't see Xie Yongdong. People in the company said he wasn't there, so I went to his home to look for him, but the home also said he wasn't there, so I looked for him everywhere in the city, and finally found him in a big hotel. He said He will come to solve this matter himself. I came back and told the neighbors the good news. Everyone was very happy, but he didn't come after waiting for a full month. Now the neighbors were anxious, so I went to him again. He simply Let’s just say that the company is out of money now, so we can’t manage it that wide. It’s just because of the years of friendship between the two companies, we need to implement compensation for my family first. I said, what should I do? To implement it, we have to include our neighbors, and the result We started arguing, and he called a few people to kick me out. I had to go to the city government... and search... and search... This angered Xie Yongdong, and he resigned from my post. It also became popular, so I went to find Mayor Wang... I searched... and I searched... but I was arrested by people from the Public Security Bureau and waited on me, and I was put in a detention center, saying that I deliberately disturbed the government." Xie Yongxia listened more and more. The more he felt a wave of anger slowly rising in his chest, he said sharply: "It's been so long, why didn't you tell me?" I've looked for you twice, sister-in-law, she... ".

"What! You said Yang Lei... what? What?" Xie Yongxia asked in surprise.

"Last autumn, I went to the provincial capital to look for you. When I arrived at the leadership dormitory of your provincial party committee compound, the armed police standing guard at the gate wouldn't let me in. I said they were looking for you. They called to inquire, but there was no one at home. I was there Then wait! Wait! Wait until ten o'clock in the evening! I finally saw the lights in your house turned on. After I went in, my sister-in-law was at home, thinking I was stolen, and didn't let me in. She just listened to what I said on the stairs and said I came back to tell you." "After waiting for a while, I saw that the compensation has not been implemented, so I went to find you again. This time my sister-in-law didn't even open the door, but asked the armed police soldiers to send [-] yuan, saying that she would not come here again. I'm tired of Lao Xie and her, this time I'll give up completely." At this time, Xie Yongxia finally solved all the doubts just now, and all this before him was like a thunderbolt, the sky was dark, he couldn't accept the facts before him, and he couldn't accept it. What Shi Dazhu said cannot be accepted.At this very moment, his inner world is suffering from the flames of hell, and he feels that his thighs are almost unable to support him, like a small sampan sailing in a hurricane, about to be overturned by huge waves .

Every word Shi Dazhu narrated once again evoked Juanzi's sad memory.She, who has always been gentle and virtuous, could no longer control herself. She excitedly yelled at Xie Yongxia: "It is not only our historians who have been troubled by Xie Yongdong and the others. This is Confucian Temple Street, there are hundreds or thousands of houses in this area, Mr. Xie, do you want to take a look here, how many households like ours can't even find shelter from the rain?" She jumped on the side and broke The wall yelled loudly at the ruins: "Everyone, come out! Everyone, come out! The leader is here to visit you!" After shouting for a while, no one was seen.

Juanzi became anxious now, and shouted loudly: "Everyone come! Everyone! Xie Yongdong is here, Xie Yongdong is here." At this time, Xie Yongxia saw people coming here in a hurry, and the people were getting closer and closer. More and more came, some with sticks in their hands, and some strong men came running, shouting loudly: "Kill him, kill him, don't let that dog get away." After a while, In the open space in front of Shi Dazhu's hut, dozens of angry people surrounded him, including men, women, old people and children. They carefully looked at this Xie Yongxia who looked somewhat similar to Xie Yongdong, and found that he was not Xie Yongdong. He asked, "Junzi, where is Xie Yongdong?".

At this time, someone in the crowd recognized Xie Yongxia and shouted: "He is the boss of the Xie family, and a high-ranking official in the province." As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly became like a disturbed swarm of bees, and everyone chattered up.

Xie Yongxia looked at these old neighbors, and he felt pain in his heart that made his throat astringent. He waved his arms and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, neighbors: I am Xie Yongdong's brother. If you want to beat me up, beat me up." Me, our Xie family is sorry for everyone. I have something to say, I just found out about your situation, please don’t worry, neighbors, please give me three days, I will be responsible for solving your problems..." "Hmph! Solve it, that's what the officials say every time they come, but we've waited for almost two years, and it still hasn't been resolved, why should we trust you?" Someone said this, and the crowd that had just calmed down began to stir again, No matter how Xie Yongxia explained it, it was useless.

Shi Dazhu stood up slowly, walked to Xie Yongxia and said to everyone: "Brother Xie said, I, I believe it." "Zhuzi! You!" Juanzi standing on the broken wall wanted to stop him angrily.Shi Dazhu looked at Juanzi, and repeated again: "My neighbors, young and old, I believe what brother Xie said." Under the guidance of Shi Dazhu, Xie Yongxia entered from the shed of this house and the shed of that house. I went out and walked almost all the shacks in this area, checking and comforting until nine o'clock in the evening.Facing the vivid facts, Xie Yongxia was deeply moved. He never expected that under the blue and sunny sky of the Republic, there would be such desolate and heartrending urban refugees. The problem, it seems, is not groundless. This serious violation of party discipline and state laws actually happened in the place under the rule of the "courageous, courageous, and capable" mayor Wang Jiaquan.

Suddenly he thought that there were still some things to deal with immediately, so he called the driver in Anchuan to pick him up immediately.

His mother and Xie Yongdong were anxiously waiting for him to come back at home. As soon as the angry Xie Yongxia came home, he hurriedly took his briefcase and went out. The mother didn't know what happened, and asked eagerly: "Xiaer, Xiaer, Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"Mom, it's okay." Xie Yongxia resisted the anger in his heart and replied calmly as he walked.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Xie Yongdong said.Xie Yongxia who was walking out of the house suddenly turned his head, stared at him viciously, and said seriously: "Mr. Xie! Before I come back to settle the accounts for you, there are two things you have to do right away. Ban Niang is sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. This is a private matter of the family; second, you go back to the company immediately to raise funds, and resettle the shacks in the area of ​​Wenmiao Street for me within three days, and no one is allowed to continue Living in a shed is a matter for the public." "Dang!" With a crisp sound, the bowl in Xie Yongdong's hand dropped heavily to the ground...

??[-] Although the mother didn't know what happened, but from what Xie Yongxia said to her younger brother, she heard that Xie Yongxia asked Xie Yongdong to send Banniang to the hospital for treatment immediately. She intuitively felt that Banniang might really be there things.

"Dong'er, Dong'er, what's wrong with Ban Niang?", "Dong'er, Dong'er, what's wrong with Ban Niang? You're talking!" Mother asked eagerly.

At this time, Xie Yongdong, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned, his mind was blank, he never thought that in just a few hours, his brother would understand and know about the incident on Wenmiao Street.Faced with his mother's hard questioning, he knew that he could no longer stay at home, so he used the excuse of hurrying up to implement the tasks assigned by his brother as an excuse.

He stood up abruptly, and said to his mother, "Mom, I'll go to work first, and I'll tell you later." After speaking, he grabbed his coat and went out.

My mother stayed at home alone, and she was always thinking about Banniang. Since she moved out of Confucian Temple Street last year, she hadn't seen her for more than a year without knowing it, and she was always a little worried.She doesn't know where Banniang lives now, so she called Xie Yongdong's cell phone several times, wanting to ask him, but Xie Yongdong didn't dare to answer the phone, so she had to call the nanny, Agui, to accompany her to the old house on Confucian Temple Street, to ask Ban Niang's current whereabouts.Originally, she knew that the area around Confucian Temple Street seemed to be completely demolished, and no one lived there, but just now Xia'er angrily mentioned what kind of shantytowns they were called, and it seemed that there were still people living in that area.

Although it was already very late at night, my mother and Agui decided to go to Confucian Temple Street.They took a taxi near the Emerald Garden and drove towards the old city...

After Xie Yongdong came out from home, he drove to the music square by the Cuishui River alone.At this time, the bustling scene of the day had long since disappeared from the square, and occasionally there were only some cleaners cleaning up the remaining peels and paper scraps. Once the usual bustling crowd dispersed, the huge square became very deserted.

Xie Yongdong needed such a peaceful environment. He came to a bench in front of the green space and sat down, buried his head deeply between his hands, and held a freshly lit cigarette in his mouth, smoking vigorously. It was the severe winter In the season, the cold wind blowing from the Cuishui River can make passers-by feel frosty and chilly, but at this time, Xie Yongdong's forehead is still dripping with sweat.He was in a state of confusion, because he clearly knew what his brother said to him before he left home, and it was not just for joking with him; he knew even more clearly: with the current company situation, It is simply impossible to settle all the shacks in the Confucian Temple Street area within three days, but what should be done to reverse this deadlock now?He thought hard about the problem before him.

He sorted out his messy thoughts back and forth, and finally decided that the root of his brother's anger must be Ban Niang. Since Ban Niang is the fuse, the most sensible way now is to stop it before it detonates. Cut it off, as long as he solves the problem of the half-mother's family and turns passive into active, then all subsequent problems can be solved easily, and he can and can do well to solve the family's compensation.

correct!As long as the half-mother's affairs are done well, it is possible to ask for the mother's understanding. As long as the mother is firmly in the hands, it is equivalent to having a "life-saving grass" and a "safe haven".After making up his mind, he decided to drive to Confucian Temple Street in the dead of night.

Just as he was about to arrive at the old house on Confucian Temple Street, he found an ambulance parked in front of it. With the help of the faint headlights, he could see some doctors and nurses in white clothes carrying patients to the car from a distance.After a while, Shi Dazhu and Juanzi ran out of the ruins and hurriedly followed the car.He immediately realized: Maybe something happened to the half-mother.Just as he was about to open the car door and go down to have a look, the ambulance had already sounded its siren and was heading towards the hospital, so he had to follow closely behind.

The ambulance stopped in front of the outpatient building, and several doctors and nurses ran out from inside to push the patient into the emergency room for rescue. Only Shi Dazhu and Juanzi were left sitting on the bench outside in the aisle anxiously waiting.

At this time, Xie Yongdong lit a cigarette in the car, and with the curling smoke, he was thinking about what he should do in such a situation?

In all fairness, Xie Yongdong is not the kind of person who is "utterly devoid of conscience" as Juanzi said. In his inner world, nothing but
