Due to the need to deal with the aftermath, Zhao Xiangdong stayed in Dawa Village at noon. Of course, this was also arranged by Du Xianming.
Chang Desheng handed Zhao Xiangdong a cigarette and said: "Mayor Zhao, I have made arrangements for Yu Deshui's house and sent the director of the Women's Federation to guard her house. It's time for lunch, and there's nothing else to do. At noon Let’s have a couple of drinks.”
Zhao Xiangdong took the cigarette and waved his hands: "No, no, I will just buy two barrels of instant noodles in a while."
Chang Desheng said immediately: "How about that? Just wait a moment, I'll go out to buy some, and we can have a simple meal."
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Deshui's two daughters who are studying in college rushed home one after another. Both daughters are top academics. One is studying at East China University of Science and Technology, and the other is studying at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, both of which are prestigious schools.
The eldest is a senior this year and will graduate from undergraduate studies in the summer. The second eldest is a junior and will graduate next year. The two sisters are slim and beautiful, they are village flowers. Although their facial features are not beautiful, they are dignified and beautiful. Maybe they have never done farm work. Both sisters have fair and delicate skin, just like girls from the south of the Yangtze River.
When they got home, the sisters saw the urn and portrait on the table, and they couldn't help crying anymore while holding their father's urn.
After a long time, Zhao Xiangdong saw that her sisters' emotions gradually stabilized, and said: "There was a fire in your home, causing the tragic death of your father. We are all sad and sorry! However, please believe that the party and the government will investigate soon." If the cause of the fire is indeed arson, our town government will assist the police to solve the case as soon as possible and bring the perpetrators of the arson to justice."
The eldest daughter Yu Yaping nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mayor Zhao, for your concern."
The second daughter Yu Yajing asked with tears in her eyes: "Mayor Zhao, how many days will it take to catch the murderer?"
Chang Desheng on the side took over and said, "Daughter, it's hard to say. It depends on the progress of the investigation. It will be done soon."
Zhao Xiangdong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "After the funeral, you two sisters should go back to school as soon as possible to continue your studies. You are about to graduate. You can't give up your studies at this last moment. In addition, according to your family's situation, I will go back and apply. The town government, let’s see if we can provide some compensation for the disaster. Also, we can apply for subsistence allowances for your family to help you two complete your studies.”
"Thank you, thank you Mayor Zhao."
Yu Yajing said emotionally.
"Mayor Zhao, thank you so much. Can I leave you a phone number? When I don't understand something, I can call you and ask for advice."
Yu Yaping stared at Zhao Xiangdong pitifully with her big empty eyes.
"Okay, my mobile phone number is..."
Zhao Xiangdong took out his mobile phone as he spoke and gave her the number.
After returning to Liuhe Town, Zhao Xiangdong reported to Du Xianming and Qi Feng respectively on how to appease the Yu family.
In the evening, Zhao Xiangdong received a call from Qian Xiaohui and asked, "Have you recovered from your cold? Do you still have a low fever?"
Hearing Qian Xiaohui's greetings, Zhao Xiangdong felt warm in his heart and said: "Okay, basically everything is fine. Thank you for your concern. I will treat you to dinner another day."
Qian Xiaohui on the other end of the phone said: "Okay, I remember it, haha. Hey, the dean came to see me today and transferred me to a relaxed position - the disinfection room. Is it our dean who you found?"
Zhao Xiangdong smiled slightly and said, "You came to give me an injection that day. Didn't you say that you were a little tired from work, and your relationship with the head nurse was not good, so I just thought of changing your job for you."
Qian Xiaohui said in a soft voice: "I guess it is, thank you. The disinfection room is very relaxed. Apart from registering the medical disinfection supplies that come in and out, there is nothing else..."
The two chatted on the phone for a while and then hung up the phone.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xiangdong went to Du Xianming's office and said, "Mayor Du, can you allocate funds to compensate the Yu family for sudden disasters? The Yu Deshui family's economic conditions are very poor, and they have an elderly mother..."
After listening to this, Du Xianming pondered for a moment and said: "I also considered this on the way back yesterday. Okay, this matter has been approved by me. After a while, I will go to Secretary Qi to report it and see if I can make up for it." How many?"
Zhao Xiangdong was a little surprised that Du Xianming agreed so readily, but after thinking about the fire at the Yu Deshui Chicken Farm, it is not difficult to understand why he readily agreed to the compensation.
After facilitating the compensation, Zhao Xiangdong went to the Civil Affairs Office to inquire about the subsistence allowance.
Director Li turned on the computer, looked at it and said: "Okay, it's almost July, and it's time to apply for the second subsistence allowance this year. At that time, you ask the Yu family to come with their ID cards, household registers and application forms. This is where I am.”
"Thank you, thank you, Director Li."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled gratefully.
"Mayor Zhao, you are too polite. I may not agree with others coming. Can you still do it after you say it? Haha."
Director Li stood up with a big grin and sent him out.
At this moment, Zhao Xiang suddenly felt that since becoming friends with Ye Na, everything he did was much smoother than before.
Two days later, the County Public Security Bureau investigated and analyzed the fire in the chicken farm in Dawa Village and determined it to be a case of arson.
After confirming the facts of the case, Zhao Xiangdong took a long breath. Ever since the fire broke out, his heart had been hanging on him, worried that the county criminal police team would eventually characterize the fire case as a fire caused by aging wires.
Two days later, the "disaster" relief compensation from the Civil Affairs Bureau has been distributed, which is 10,000 yuan. In the afternoon, Zhao Xiangdong and Director Li from the Civil Affairs Office took the compensation to Dawa Village in a van.
Since Zhao Xiangdong notified the village chief Chang Desheng in advance, the two of them saw him standing at the crossroads when they arrived at the entrance of Dawa Village.
"Mayor Zhao!" Chang Desheng walked over quickly, with a thick smile on his face.
"Village chief, this is Director Li of the Civil Affairs Office, and this is the village chief of Dawa Village."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled and introduced them to each other.
"Hello……"
The two exchanged pleasantries and went to Yu Deshui's house together.
"The funeral was held yesterday. Deshui's wife didn't get out of bed for three days. The old lady was very angry when she found out that her son was burned to death. She fell ill and was hanging on a hanging bottle..."
Yu Deshui introduced Yu Deshui's family situation while walking.
"Well, it's really difficult when the backbone of the family is gone!"
Director Li sighed.
"Mayor Zhao, yesterday afternoon, the county criminal police brigade took away Wang Liang, who is said to be one of the suspects."
Yu Deshui looked at Zhao Xiangdong and said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, this arson case will be solved soon."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled faintly and walked forward faster.
When Zhao Xiangdong and Director Li handed over the compensation to Yu Deshui's wife, she was so excited that she started crying again. Out of gratitude, but feeling unable to repay the favor, the two daughters knelt down directly in front of Zhao Xiangdong and the other three of them.
"Hey, get up, get up..."
Seeing this, the three people hurriedly pulled Yu Deshui's two daughters up.
Then, Zhao Xiangdong, Director Li and Chang Desheng comforted the two sisters and left.
On the way back, Zhao Xiangdong received a call from Qi Feng, saying: "Secretary Qi."
Qi Feng on the other end of the phone said, "Are you back? Well, okay... When you get here, come to my office. I have something to do."
