Love and yearning in the heart,
Eternal love is sweeter than honey;
Unforgettable memories of the past,
And look at the shining poem.
It was the morning of April 12th. The moment Zi Peng went to work, he started shouting.
"The Secretary Wang is here. Your account has been approved."
Zi Peng answered and arrived. He was calling from the accounting room. When Zi Peng arrived at the accounting room, he saw Company accountant Li Junying holding Zi Peng's account certificate. Zi Peng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised upon seeing this. This was the proof of his migration from Taoyuan Village's Sixth Squad to Tao Yuan's Third Squad. He held the certificate in his hand as well as a college admission notice. This was the first time he had helped himself since he had arrived in Taoyuan Village.
There were a total of seven production team s in all. From one to five were field team s, and six and seven were Ota Team s. There was a huge difference between field team and Ota Team: field team provided food from the country every month. There were two catties of flour, three catties of rice and four taels of soy oil. Especially after the land was contracted, the amount of food resold was also very little, and every person a year said that they could give 100 pounds of corn. Thus, the difference between a Ota Team and a field team was too huge. Other than that, the three teams from Peach Blossom Valley also heard that the Tonggang would take over in the next few years. Therefore, Zi Peng wanted to move the hukou to the three teams in Taoyuan. The reason was: Zi Peng was currently a Secretary of Branch in the village, so he had to go back and forth from work. It was very inconvenient, but that was one reason. Zi Peng's Third daughter, Yu Hua, was studying at the Sixteenth High School, so it was not convenient for him to walk twenty miles back and forth. If he transferred to field team, he would also be able to obtain fine food, which provided conditions for the old people to improve their living conditions. For the above reasons, Zi Peng wanted to transfer his account number from Team Six to Team Three in Taoyuan.
It took a lot of effort to move the Ota Team's account to there. With regard to the supply of food, the approval of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was obtained. As for the transfer from field team to field team, it was much easier, as long as it was done by the local police station.
In order to get an account, Zi Peng had to put in a lot of effort. In the fall of 1987, Zi Peng filled in the application for relocation of six teams from Taoyuan to three teams from Taoyuan. At that time, the village agreed, and the group leaders of the three teams also agreed, adding their own badges and production team's official seals. Zi Peng thought, "This is a very difficult task, ordinary people can't do it." In the end, he found the The Party Secretary of the Township Ding Xichun. Secretary Ding was a warmhearted person. When he saw Zi Peng ask him to set up an account, he agreed without hesitation. Why? The reason was that Zi Peng was Secretary of the Party Branch of Taoyuan Village, and did a good job in the village. He had a good job with Village Head Deng Chunming and Vice Village Chief Wang, and was a good material. This was the first, the second was Zi Peng. He was an honest and sincere person. He didn't know how to play games, didn't know how to scheme, and he didn't know how to act both ways. Not to mention, he was a filial son. After the household registration, there was no need for the elderly mother to worry about eating fine grains. At that time, the corn flour was 9 cents 5 centimeters per kilogram, the rice was 1.6 cents per kilogram, the flour was 1.8 cents per kilogram, and the soy oil was 8 cents per kilogram. As such, the Secretary Ding did not hesitate to accept Zi Peng's request to relocate. Secretary Ding looked at the application and said:
"Zi Peng, I'm not sure if I can get an account. I'll do my best."
"Secretary Ding, whether or not you manage it has nothing to do with it. I am extremely grateful to you for agreeing to help me with the account today. I will first thank you, Secretary Ding." Zi Peng said gratefully.
"What's there to thank me for? As long as you do your job properly, it'll be a good recompense for me."
Secretary Ding took the procedures for Zi Peng's transfer and asked about it at the police station. It was indeed not as easy as he thought it would be, he needed the approval of the city's public security bureau. Therefore, Secretary Ding felt very troubled. He thought: Since I've promised Wang Zipeng, I will return the favor without moving an inch, this is not how I, Ding Xichun, handle matters. Thus, he found the Wang Jianzhu Secretary of the District Committee. Secretary Wang was over 30 years old, with a height of 1.85 meters. He wore a blue suit, tie, and black leather shoes.
After Secretary Wang finished listening to Secretary Ding's report, he had a troubled expression. He also thought that it would be difficult to get an account like that, but as the secretary of the first district, he couldn't refute Secretary Ding's reputation. Thus, he said:
"Secretary Ding, leave these materials with me. When we head to the city for a meeting that day, I'll tell the city's Public Security Bureau if they can help."
At this point, there were no more messages. In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.
That was the coincidence. In the winter of 1988, the hukou of Liu Enbo's family of five from Peach Blossom Team Six was transferred to Peach Blossom's third team. Zi Peng and Liu Enbo came from the same production team and were very familiar with each other. One day, Zi Peng went to find Liu Enbo.
"Ember, I heard that your account has been transferred from the sixth team to the third team. Is this true? How do you do it? " Ember said:
"I have an uncle named Liu Chengda, a teacher at the 16th high school. My uncle's classmate is the current Tonghua City President, Liu Xin. One day, my uncle went to Siping to do something. On the train, he coincidentally met Mayor Liu, and told him about my family's situation. Please transfer my brother's account to Peach Blossom Squad Three, for the sake of my old classmate. Mayor Liu agreed to it at that time. My uncle used a letter to write down our personnel and basic information and gave it to Mayor Liu. Within two months, the new household book will be released and the food relationship will be here, and that's all. "
Zi Peng listened to Liu Enbo's drawing and felt that it was a piece of cake for the Mayor Liu to do such a small thing. But since I am not related to the Mayor Liu, nor do I know him personally, how can I ask for his help? He thought hard and finally thought of a way: Write a letter to the Mayor Liu and ask for his help. That night, Zi Peng went home to eat dinner, then wrote a letter asking for help to Mayor Liu. The letter read as follows:
Esteemed Mayor Liu:
I'm sorry to bother you in your busy time. I have a small matter to ask of you.
My name is Wang Zipeng, a farmer from the Sixth production team. He became a Secretary of the Party Branch on 6 February 1987. For more than two years, I've been walking from team six to work. The six squads were about five kilometers away from Taoyuan Village, which was why it was inconvenient. For the above reasons, I would like to ask you to do me a favor: to transfer the hukou from the six teams to the three teams in Taoyuan. Thus, I bought a house in Taoyuan. As I got closer to work, my Third daughter's Sixteenth High School also drew near. Old mother also had more time to take care of.
I know very well that there is no reason for me to have no relationship with Mayor Liu and that I have lived a pure and simple life. Therefore, you can help me with this matter, but you can also help me with this matter. However, we are Liu Enbo from production team, and his father is called Liu Cheng Zhang, his family account has now been transferred to Team Three. I asked Liu Enbo about this. He said that his uncle, Liu Chengda, was a classmate of the mayor. Once, on the train to Siping, Liu Chengda met you and brought up this matter. You said yes, and it was done in two months.
For this reason, I thought: Although I do not know your Mayor Liu, Liu Enbo is my villager. You have a lot of people, since you helped Liu Chengzhang get an account, I would like to ask you, Mr. Mayor, to help me. This matter is harder for me than it is for me, and it is a simple matter for you. Alright, I won't say anymore. I'll wait for your beautiful voice. Thank you!
This to
Salute
Taoyuan Village
5 November 1988
Zi Peng put the letter into an envelope and stamped it. When he went to work the next morning, he put it in the letterbox and left. Unexpectedly, two months later, on January 10, 1989, the letter to Mayor Liu was delivered to the Secretary of District Committee. In the upper corner of the envelope was written: "Read by the Secretary of the Column."
Secretary Wang opened the letter and saw that it was written by Wang Zipeng for Mayor Liu. After he read it once, he hurriedly called for the Party Committee Secretary Ding. Seeing the Secretary Ding, the Secretary Wang said:
"What do you think Little Wang is doing?" I have been helping him with his account all this time. He even wrote a letter to the Mayor Liu.
The Secretary Ding didn't say anything. He only picked up the letter, and read through it once through, then said to the Secretary Wang:
"Secretary Wang, I will handle this matter. I must severely criticize Little Wang to let him know the seriousness of the situation. "
On the second day, 11 January, Secretary Ding came to Taoyuan Village and locked Wang Zipeng in his office to fiercely criticize him. Finally, the Secretary Ding said:
"Zi Peng, Secretary Wang and I are both working on your matter, how can you write to Mayor Liu again? This time, he was in big trouble. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete the task he should be doing now. You walked the blisters on your feet. " After listening to Secretary Ding's words, Zi Peng explained:
"Secretary Ding, at that time I did not think too much into it. I only know that Liu Enbo's account was set up by Mayor Liu. "As such, I wish to seek your help, Mayor Liu, for no other reason,"
Another three months had passed, and today was April 12th. Zi Peng's account had been set up. Zi Peng thought: Is this true? I'm not dreaming. But he saw his name on the migration certificate, and it was true. He had even sealed the "Tonghua City's Public Security Bureau" with a bright red official seal. Only then did he believe it to be true.
Zi Peng thought: The household registration has been completed, this is the credit of Secretary Ding and myself; the letter I wrote to Mayor Liu must have had an effect. Otherwise, why didn't they send any messages over a year ago, and only sent a letter to the Mayor Liu five months ago before it became a reality? Inside, the Mayor Liu played a part. Zi Peng held the certificate of migration and said as if he had obtained a precious treasure:
"Yes, I have. I'll be treating you to lunch today. My account's been set up, let's celebrate."
At noon, Zi Peng ordered a table of food and wine at the Grand Hotel of Mingshan. He gathered all the village officials and shared this joy with him …
At this point, Zipeng's family of six had eaten the food and received 12 catties of flour, 18 catties of rice and 2.4 catties of soy oil per month. Zi Peng's mother was also happy.
Zi Peng was extremely excited when he received the letter from Lixia. Lixia expressed her heartfelt feelings to him to the fullest. Thus, on the evening of April 13, he wrote her a reply.
On April 14th, Zi Peng sent a letter to Lixia with the excuse of going to ginseng field. He was also happy to see her.
2 in the afternoon, Zi Peng arrived at Lixia's home. At this moment, she was at home choosing a bean seed. Seeing that Zi Peng had arrived, she was overjoyed. She poured him a cup of hot water and he took it and put it on the table and, seeing no one else in the house, he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. Before he left, he gave her the letter. After she saw him off, she couldn't wait to open his letter and read it carefully. The letter read as follows:
