Chapter 619
It's worth it
I did have a little loan at that time, but I had already paid it back. Now the huge daily charges have flowed into the pockets of unknown people. However, Liu Dehua was not jealous of the people who took the big head, because they took the big head, and he also took the small head. Although he was a small toll collector, his monthly income was more than 2,000 yuan.
In 2003, the average salary in Yan City was only 700 to 800 yuan. A better unit could burn the incense after reaching more than 1,000 yuan.
So although Liu Dehua is not handsome - he is not as handsome as Andy Lau as the handsome and extraordinary - he also married a beautiful wife because he has a high income and stable job. Not only does he earn more than 2,000 yuan a month, but he also has various benefits and subsidies every few days. There are so many vehicles coming and going. Each car is treated as a wild goose, and the hairs that are all loaded in one day will be filled with a train, and two of them will be enough for him to eat and drink.
He was very content, and he was always happy. Liu Dehua happily greeted every vehicle that paid every time, because every greeting was money. Who could still be with money? Good luck made money.
Today is Monday, and it is usually busy on Mondays. Liu Dehua is so busy that she doesn't even have to worry about saliva. When it is almost 11 o'clock, something happened.
It was said that something happened, mainly because Liu Dehua's understanding, and he had never seen such a grand scene. He thought that something big happened or someone was causing trouble.
A convoy came from the west of Huayu Road. It was a bit reluctant to say that the convoy was because there was a small car leading the way in front and a truck and bus mixed in the back. The convoy pieced together like a miscellaneous army looked a bit dissatisfied at first glance, far less than the combination of vehicles of the same color and style gives people the feeling of being shocking.
Liu Dehua has seen a sports car fleet of one color, an Audi vehicle, and even a military vehicle fleet of one color. As long as the vehicles of the same style are combined together, they can show amazing results as soon as they are scaled up. Although the convoy in front of them is like a miscellaneous army, it also has a feeling of awe, not because of the vehicle, but because of the people on the vehicle.
If a person's expression is solemn, it will not have much impact on others. If three people have solemn expressions, outsiders will feel a slump in their hearts when they see it. But if hundreds or even hundreds of people have solemn and solemn faces, they are all solemn and respectful, and they all stand straight, and no one is joking, and they are as uniform as soldiers. The shocking effect brought is absolutely breathtaking!
Liu Dehua was shocked, opened her mouth wide, and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, because after the convoy approached, he realized that the people standing on the car were all workers and villagers - yes, they were all the workers and villagers who were the least organized and disciplined in his impression!
Liu Dehua has been charging for many years and has seen many pick-up scenes. He has never seen the pick-up team today. If he picks up high-ranking officials, he will be in advance. I remember that the last time a deputy prime minister came to Yan City and sent plainclothes to wait at the expressway entrance early to clean up irrelevant vehicles. At that time, there was an arrogant little policeman driving a police car and insisting on coming over. He was immediately pointed a gun at the plainclothes and pressed it on the ground, which scared the little policeman to urinate, ruined his might and begged for mercy. His majesty in front of ordinary people turned into tears, which made Liu Dehua look extremely despised. Only then did he realize that the policeman who is usually like an old man pretends to be a first-class level at critical moments.
Sometimes when you pick up ordinary cadres, you will have subordinates who put a banner or a welcome team. Today's team is obviously here to pick up people, but the posture is a bit strange. It seems that there is no unified command, but everyone is very conscious. After everyone gets off the bus, no one makes noise or laughs. Whether it is the workers or the villagers, they spontaneously line up in two teams, with hundreds of people lined up in a row, which is hundreds of meters long, and the waiting area at the expressway entrance is completely full.
Everyone looked eager and excited, but no one was pushing and moving around, they stood steadily and straight, everyone looked firm, their eyes looked towards the direction of the exit, and their eyes showed enthusiasm and admiration.
Who can make workers and villagers respect and love so much? Liu Dehua has seen some leaders organize primary and secondary school students to serve as welcome teams. The students smiled and were eager to disguise, which made him feel too fake. But today, Liu Dehua, who had already numbed the pick-up ceremony on the scene, was moved. It should be said that he was truly moved for the first time since he was engaged in the charging work.
There is a kind of admiration that makes people feel awe-inspiring. There is a kind of power that makes people cry.
Although compared with the workers, the villagers are in uneven teams and not standing straight, they all look forward to their faces and are full of affectionate eyes, especially a few of the white-haired old men, who look very much like Liu Dehua's parents. In an instant, he was infected by the atmosphere and felt his nose sore, and he shed tears of a man who had been numb for many years.
The person who can make the workers stand up straight like a pine tree, and the person who can make the white-haired villagers look forward to it as much as their relatives. No matter who he is or whether he is a high-ranking official, in Liu Dehua's mind, he is the cutest person and the most respectable person.
Liu Dehua knew that the person in front of him was not acting, and he could not act a touching effect, the true feelings conveyed between everyone, and the real touch and atmosphere. Although he was a hundred meters away from the team, he could deeply feel the simplest and simplest emotion between humans - care!
Yes, everyone looked forward to the direction of the exit. Whether it was the turbid gaze of the elderly, the hot gaze of the young, or the clear gaze of the children, they all showed the same desire. The people they were waiting for were people worthy of their respect and love.
All passing vehicles were stunned by this scene. Many vehicles slowed down when passing by, opened the doors and windows and looked at them in surprise. Some people even wanted to make a few jokes. Before they could speak, they were infected by the atmosphere on the scene. They kept their jokes in their hearts and couldn't say them. They only felt stuffy in their chests and felt a sense of indescribable discomfort.
Liu Dehua's eyes were wet, her heart was blocked, and her heart felt as if it was filled with something. He couldn't stand the atmosphere and the questions in his heart. He called his colleague Luo Li and asked her to look at him first. Then he left his post and came to the crowd, holding a childish worker and said, "Young man, can you tell me who you are picking up? What important person is he and what kind of official he is? Let you stand in the team so grandly and wait for him?"
The young worker glanced at Liu Dehua and saw that he had no malice, he said, "I don't know how old he is, nor how important he is to others. I only know that his name is Xia Xiang. He is a district chief. He treats us workers like brothers and treats the villagers like the villagers. I know that he is a good person!"
The word "good person" is the simplest and heaviest, because the two words contain too many meanings and make too many people unable to bear it!
Liu Dehua asked anything else. As soon as he got closer to the team, he could feel the atmosphere that made people cry. He hurried back to the guard post. As soon as he sat down, he saw an Audi with Yanshi license plate and a business car with Beijing license plate slowly drove into the toll station.
The Audi car opened the window and paid two fees. The business car behind did not open the window and passed the guard post. As soon as the Audi car drove out of the exit, the team was restless. When the business car arrived at the waiting area, the whole crowd was boiling!
As soon as the whole team moved, it was like a snake. It immediately surrounded the three layers of the business car, and the three layers outside the business car was blocked. Before the car could stop, a handsome young man got out of the car and waved to everyone with a smile on his face. Because he was far away, Liu Dehua couldn't hear what he was saying, but there was a voice in Liu Dehua's heart: He is the one who is admired by countless workers and villagers? Why is he so young?
Liu Dehua thought that the workers and villagers were waiting for him were such a respectable old man. He should have kind-hearted eyes, a childish face, or a fairy-like bone. Unexpectedly, he was a young man younger than him, and he was much more handsome than him!
He was shocked!
What good things did such a young man do that made so many workers and villagers respect him. When he saw him, he was like seeing his relatives. In addition to being shocked, Liu Dehua admired him even more.
Speaking of which, although he has a good income, he is actually a member of the bottom of society. He knows that the emotions of those who are struggling at the bottom of society have always been simple and honest, and there are many things that money cannot buy, among which the people's spontaneous respect and love are things that are more precious than money.
In an instant, Liu Dehua made a decision that even he was surprised. He took out the toll he had just received, and then told Luo Li, and ran towards the field with great strides.
Liu Dehua ran to Xia Xiang, handed the tolls solemnly to Xia Xiang, and said, "I don't know what kind of cadre you are, no matter how old you are. I only know that you are respected by the people and you must have done good and practical things. Today's toll costs cannot be collected, so I will be considered noble once!"
Xia Xiang, who was greeting the people, did not expect that the toll collector would pay back the toll fees. He waved his hand: "Toll payment is natural, how can we get privileges? Liu... Comrade Dehua, please accept it. I appreciate your feelings, thank you."
Liu Dehua has a badge, and Xia Xiang called out his name.
Liu Dehua insisted on not accepting it: "Just treat it as I paid the money, standing among everyone, I was excited, just let me be noble once, can you?"
There was a burst of warm applause and cheers in the crowd. Many people gave Liu Dehuajian a thumbs up, smiled and applauded hard.
Liu Dehua felt a sense of pride that she had never felt before. It turned out that there was something better than money in life - the most beautiful emotions and identification between people.
Liu Dehua hugged everyone, bowed her hands, and returned to the booth, and her chest was undulating. She was excited and inexplicably, which made Luo Li ask him in confusion: "What's wrong with Lao Liu, why are you excited? Did you still pick up your wallet when you saw your first love?"
Liu Dehua used to think Luo Li was charming and charming, with the innocent and evil of a little girl, but now she suddenly felt disgust from her heart and believed in one sentence: Why is the gap between people so big?
Vulgar, really vulgar!
Until many years later, when Liu Dehua saw Xia Xiang on TV, he jumped up. Isn’t this a young man who waived his tolls back then? God, he became a great official? Later, Liu Dehua fell into trouble because of a serious illness and happened to be met by Xia Xiang, so Xia Xiang helped him solve the danger.
Liu Dehua clearly remembered that the total toll he waived for Xia Xiang was 160 yuan, and in order to save him, Xia Xiang called on everyone to donate money and raised 160,000 yuan for him, which once again deeply felt what the sentiment was like for the people who welcomed Xia Xiang back then.
Yes, what kind of sentiment is it? The workers and villagers present couldn't say it. Anyway, they saw Xia Xiangsheng getting off the car vigorously, with a spring breeze and the sun shining on his face, making him look so bright that everyone laughed. The black-faced workers showed white teeth, and the elderly man showed only a few teeth, and they all smiled happily and sweetly.
However, after everyone laughed, many people cried again. Whether they were crying happily or moved, the tears that shed from their smiles were the most touching and sincere.
Lian Ruohan did not get out of the car, hid in the car, looking at the heroic treatment Xia Xiang received through the car window, she was extremely proud in her heart, and she felt her nose sore, and she couldn't help but shed tears of relief. This is the man she loved deeply, firm and sunny, and when fighting against political enemies, she had a strong, witty and ruthless side, but when facing the people, she regarded them as relatives, as close as brothers and as sisters.
He always made her love and hate the man she loved and hated, loving his responsible, humorous and persistent side, and hating his impulsive and passionate side. But no matter what, although she did not understand what kind of love it was to get along with the people and be regarded as the closest relative by the people, she still burst into tears because of the treatment that Xia Xiang received.
It's worth loving him alone in your life.
The worker led by Xiong Haiyang. He held Xia Xiang's hand tightly. The huge man laughed and cried: "It's good that the leader is fine, it's good that it's fine. I saw with my own eyes that you are as strong as before, and you can eat and sleep well."
When Lu Laojue saw Xia Xiang, he bent down and wanted to kneel down. The guilt in his heart was deeper than anyone else, and he always felt that he had harmed Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang not only saved his son's life, but also saved his life. Embrace is higher than Shan. Apart from kneeling, he couldn't think of any way to express his gratitude.
Xia Xiang had no choice but to force him to hold him back and prevent an elderly man from kneeling in front of him again.
Let the old man kneel down to himself, it is a failure of his life!
Lu Laozui choked and said, "District Mayor Xia, I will hand over the old bones to you. If you have any work I have to do in the future, I will not be afraid of anything I want to do in the future."
Xia Xiang felt the deep love between the workers and the villagers, and he shouted: "Brothers of workers, fellow villagers, I'm back! From now on, I will always be in Yan City and Xiama District, and I will always be with you!"
Applause was thunderous and cheers were filled with cheers.
Xia Xiang did not return to the district committee first, but went to the Second Hospital to visit Lao Qian with the workers.
When Xia Xiang and a group of people arrived at the Second Hospital, the entire Second Hospital was almost squeezed into traffic jam. Xia Xiang was still thinking carefully, so that Xiong Haiyang and Lu Laojue organized the workers and villagers to disperse and return to their respective jobs, so that they should not delay their work because of him. When Xia Xiang spoke, the workers and villagers dispersed one after another, which made the people in the Second Hospital breathe a sigh of relief.
Lao Qian recovered well after the operation, but he was injured for 100 days. He was still wearing a plasterboard and couldn't move on the bed. He heard the noisy sound outside, Lao Qian was shocked and guessed something. When Xia Xiang stood at the door with a look of concern, although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't believe his eyes. After rubbing his eyes, he said hesitantly: "Is District Director Xia back?"
From the moment I saw Lao Qian, Xia Xiang's tears were wet.
Lao Qian's legs were wrapped in thick plaster, covered with gauze, and were placed on a bracket. When he thought of Lao Qian's legs, he could even imagine what kind of heart-wrenching pain it was. When he remembered Lao Qian's desperate situation, he could no longer bear the touching feeling in his chest. He came to Lao Qian with tears in his eyes: "Lao Qian, big brother, you have suffered, I feel guilty, thank you very much!"
The big brother immediately made Lao Qian cry: "District Mayor Xia, don't say that, don't say that! It's because I am ashamed of you. I should have protected you long ago. It was because I didn't protect you well, so you were burned and hit. I couldn't even repay you when you saved me back then. If you thank me again, it would be like I was shameless to see someone..."
When Lao Qian cried, Xia Xiang burst into tears. What a good worker, he always remembered a small thing from that time and always remembered to repay him. Now how many officials are in vain and spend money on the hard-earned money of the people, they don’t know that they are the public servants of the people and taxpayers supporting them. Some officials even shouted that they were the money of the country, not the money of the people.
If the skin does not exist, where will the hair be attached? The people are skin, the country is hair, the people are the foundation of the country, and the monument of the country's unfalling. The dynasty changes over the past thousands of years, the only thing that remains unchanged is the heavy but never bends of the Chinese people.
Afterwards, Xia Xiang asked Lao Qian in detail about his condition. When he learned that Lao Qian's surgery was very successful and he was expected to restore his ability to walk normally, he smiled with relief and reached out to wipe the tears for Lao Qian: "Lao Qian, be stronger. After his legs are well, I will find you a more relaxed job."
Originally, Lao Qian had stopped his tears, Xia Xiang's simple action of reaching out to wipe his tears made him feel warm again, and tears flowed. He is really a good leader with a true nature. He never regards himself as a leader or as his savior. He just blocked him for a moment, and was taken seriously by the leader so much. He was worried about it. Lao Qian felt that he had lived for most of his life and had never been as hopeless as today. He cried with one sentence or one action.
It’s better if you have no future, you have no future once. What are you afraid of? A man doesn’t cry easily because he has not arrived at the sad place. District Mayor Xia deserves his bleeding and tears!
