the pillar of the family, the safe haven for the family

"mom, why hasn't dad come back yet? the summer vacation is almost over, and didn't he say he would come to pick me up during the summer vacation?" after tan lei lost contact, facing the children's repeated questions, tan lei's wife yang mei had tears in her eyes but didn't know how to answer.

"on the afternoon of july 23, he finished a meeting at the county level. it was already 5 or 6 o'clock. i told him to go home for dinner.but it was the flood season at that time, and he was afraid of wasting time, so he found a noodle restaurant on the street. that was the last time we met."yang mei's eyes were full of tears, and she choked up and said, "i should have insisted a little longer and asked him to go home for dinner." yang mei understood his sense of responsibility, and because of her longing for him, she went to the noodle shop to accompany him and watched him hurriedly finish the bowl of noodles.

there is a small box in tan lei's home, which is an item that yang mei has always treasured. it contains a teething stick that he made for his child with prickly ash wood, and a small "love confession" note he wrote for her when yang mei was pregnant. in yang mei's memory, tan lei's time was always filled with work, and every day was very busy. but his love for his family has never stopped. he would find ways to make his family feel his care and warmth. he would call home and make video calls every day. "every year on my birthday, he would prepare birthday gifts and flowers for me, and cook a table of meals by himself. friends say that he is a warm and romantic person."

in tan lei's wechat moments, we often see the happy figures of his family. he is very caring towards his wife and children, and is even more filial to his parents. tan lei's parents live in dujiangyan. in june this year, tan lei's mother celebrated her birthday. due to work reasons, he could not accompany her, so he booked flowers online in advance and specially prepared a small blessing card for his mother, using this special thought to convey his full love and concern for his mother.

tan lei's father told reporters, "we don't want him to be distracted and worry about us. i always tell him not to worry about us, to work hard and eat well." the support from his family has become tan lei's motivation to move forward, allowing him to devote all his energy to his job without distraction.

rooted in the grassroots for 17 years and deeply trusted by the masses

naizigou village was the first village that tan lei contacted after he started working in shashiduo town. 82-year-old villager tuoba and his wife emanchu were basking in the sun in the courtyard, which was full of flowers, making the home of the two elderly people look very warm and beautiful.

this month, whenever town and village officials visited the elderly, they would eagerly ask, "has mayor tan been found?"

toba's only son suffered from a sudden mental illness, which put the already low-income family in a difficult situation. after tan lei learned about this, he often went to toba's home and, through coordination with many parties, eventually sent toba's son to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, solving the biggest problem for the two elderly people.

"he would come to see us from time to time, and he would bring some daily necessities, such as rice, flour, and cooking oil. sometimes he would give us money so that we could buy what we wanted to eat." when talking about tan lei, the two old people were in tears, and they kept talking about his goodness in chinese and tibetan. "he is really a very good cadre. we old couple regard him as a relative."

for zelanghamu's family in the same village, tan lei is the person they trust the most. zelanghamu's husband liu yunde works away from home all year round, her daughter omatou has hearing impairment, and she herself suffers from chronic diseases. zelanghamu used to love drinking, and in order not to delay his illness, tan lei repeatedly did ideological work for zelanghamu, and went to the shops in the village and town one by one to ask them not to sell alcohol to her.

after a long time of getting along, omatou regarded tan lei as her own brother. because she had difficulty communicating, she gave her family's passbook to tan lei for safekeeping. when she needed money, she would call her brother tan lei to help her withdraw it. tan lei served as the "steward" of the passbook for five years.

"i feel relieved when i give him my passbook." zelanghamu said that every time she went to tan lei to withdraw money, tan lei would patiently ask her how much money she needed to withdraw, what she wanted to buy, and whether she needed him to buy it from the county. "thank him, thank him so much. he always advised me not to drink alcohol because it was bad for my health. now i don't drink anymore, and i want to talk to him in person." zelanghamu covered her face and cried.
