It was the 20th of January, and it was freezing cold. The snow covered the sky, the wind blew strongly, and the temperature dropped.

Today, Rural Party Committee hosted the Spring Festival Gala. Participating in the joyous event were: the Secretary of Branch, Deputy Secretary-General, Village Head, Deputy village chief, Director of Women, and the cadres of the armed groups; all the cadres of the township organs. There were Branch Secretary Wang Peng s, Village Head Deng Chunming s, Vice Village Chief Wang s, and women in the Taoyuan Village.

Above the main platform, there was a white paper and red lettering on top of it. On it was written: "Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee's Celebration of the Spring Festival Gala".

The content of this joyous meeting was: drawing lots to answer questions, testing questions, and having fun together. Every village's Secretary of the Party Branch would draw lots to answer the questions, Wang Zipeng was no exception. If you can answer a question after drawing a lot, you can sit down and give a souvenir. If I can't answer, I'm sorry, I have to do a show. The performance was done in an irregular manner, with nothing to lose.

The drawing of lots started from Erdao Village's Secretary of the Party Branch. When it was Secretary of the Party Branch of Taoyuan Village's turn, she drew the number one question. The content was: When and when was the youth movement born? Zi Peng thought for a while, but didn't answer. Thus, he had to produce a program. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pass this trial. Zi Peng thought: I can neither sing nor dance. What program was it? He thought for a moment. Therefore, he took a glance at the venue and said:

"Leaders, I am lacking in literary and artistic skills. When I sing, I am tongue-tied. "How about this, I'll just say a few words to everyone, is that alright?" At this time, someone below shouted, "Yes!" Therefore, Zi Peng said with an extremely slow speed,

"All the leaders are present at today's joyous reunion;

I don't know how to sing or dance, I don't know how to smoke or drink.

Through this party, there are some things you can learn;

"Please don't misunderstand, friends. We'll meet again next time."

Wang Zipeng kept talking about the eight meetings, which was something the leaders and the village officials did not expect. As a result, he finished his speech smoothly and won a warm round of applause from the audience.

After the drawing of lots and testing was over, each of the Rural Party Committee members performed a performance. Secretary Ding sang a song, "I am a soldier." Chihuahua sang a song, "Earth Way Battle". Next, they performed one by one. The village leaders had all finished performing. Needless to say, it was time for the various performances. When Zi Peng participated in the meeting, he was afraid he might do something like this. Fortunately, when he first arrived at the meeting, he wrote a poem on a piece of paper. This time, it was indeed useful.

Secretary of Branch started his performance at Erdaojiang, followed by Everlasting Victory, Peach Blossom, Three Rivers, Sampling Ditch and Birch Tree.

When it was Taoyuan Village's turn, Zi Peng stood up and said:

"Leaders, I have prepared an immature little poem for this year's party. I'm giving it to the party, I wonder if it's okay?" The people in the hall shouted in unison:

"Alright!" We want to listen to Secretary Wang's poems. " Zi Peng continued,

"Then I'll be making a fool of myself.

Rural Party Committee celebrates the New Year, singing and dancing inspiring;

In 1989, the Rural Party Committee had outstanding political achievements, and was ranked first in the whole district.

The Secretary Ding captured the integrity of the political clean, good image of the other villages;

There were seven targets in the system of responsibility, all of which would achieve a perfect score during the assessment.

The Village cadres has worked hard for a year, and the village leaders have been kind and considerate.

The 90 years are filled with difficulties. The task is heavy, and the pressure is great! "

After Wang Zipeng finished reciting the poem, he cupped his fists and bowed to the audience. The venue erupted into applause...

Zi Peng had been missing Lixia for the past few days. Ever since the 22nd of January, he had hurriedly met with an even greater sense of unease. He thought: I should write her a letter, explain the failure of my last date, and give it to her before the Spring Festival so that she doesn't think about it and look forward to it. Thinking of this, he spread out a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and intently wrote a reply for her. It was the night of January 23, 1990, and the twenty-seventh of the lunar month. The letter he wrote was very long. After he finished writing it, he read it from beginning to end and felt it was not bad. So he folded the letter and put it in his pocket, packed up the paper and pen, and went to sleep on the kang.

The next day was the birthday of Liang Shouquan's mother, and Zi Peng also went to wish Mother Liang a birthday. At the Liang family's residence, Zi Peng had met Lixia, and he found a suitable opportunity to give her the letter. He came back after lunch at the Liang house.

After having lunch at the Liang family's residence, Lixia didn't stay there to help. She wanted to rush home and read the letter he gave her. That afternoon, Gui Hong finished eating and played mahjong at the Liang household. She was the only one at home. She could not wait to open his letter. The letter read as follows:

To the people closest to me:

Autumn passed and winter arrived, and the land was covered in white. Time passed by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, there are two ways to get to know my little sister.

When I was in the sixth team, my friendship was as deep as the sea; after I moved to Taoyuan, I was filled with longing.

'Family 'is the Red Mother,' Newspaper 'is the media, since the magazine, friendship flowers in full bloom.

The handshake felt warm and full of love; the hug felt blissful, the blood was boiling.

Kissing is sweeter than honey, and the smell is far in the air; you and I are both intoxicated and in a better mood.

You and I are connected heart, sincere to treat each other; think more often, never separate.

Love red like fire, rich and colorful; I will wait for you, winter to spring again...

My dear little sister, congratulations to you, I have written 25 letters in 89 years. This is a very exciting occasion; it is our spiritual food.

I've read your letter repeatedly, little sister, but you didn't manage to meet me. I've made you wait for more than two hours, I am truly sorry. First of all, I apologize to my dear little sister. My good little sister, at this moment, I am the same as you, wanting to see you at all times. The pain of thinking about humans has tortured me to the point of restlessness.

My yearning little sister, you went to the station to wait for me on the 25th of last month, on the 20th you told me, how could I forget? How happy I am to be with you on the 25th! Next, please read a poem for little sister. It might be able to dispel the misunderstanding in your heart:

This is an unsuccessful date, and you and I have both shed the sweat of hard work;

When I didn't see you and me during the date, I couldn't help but shed tears of yearning.

Why wasn't the date successful? little sister will definitely blame this brother.

Please listen to me in detail, perhaps it will dispel the misunderstanding in your heart:

On the night of December 23rd, my aunt passed away. She asked me to go to Hun Jiang to accompany her.

I took the nine o'clock train to White River and rushed to Hun Jiang. None of them slept.

At this moment, I remembered little sister's order: We shall meet at the same place on the 25th.

How can I forget this beautiful moment, you and I together, more precious than anything.

When I was at the generalization Station, I prepared to return.

At 7: 14 AM on the 25th, he took the train to generalization and returned.

When he reached generalization at 9: 10 PM, he would be able to meet with him on time.

Who would have thought that the train would meet the four trains heading east at Bajiang.

The car was a little more than two hours late. I was so anxious that my heart was burning, and I was scratching my lungs.

When the train arrived at ten-fifty in generalization, I caught a bus and chased after it.

I rushed to the New Station, but did not see the little sister that was waiting for me.

It was six minutes past eleven. I went into the store, to the market, to get you back.

River Bridge, bus stop, drugstore, movie theater... I'm sorry I didn't find you.

Maybe I'm late? The anxious little sister had already returned home?

Could it be that little sister didn't come today and I was looking for trouble here?

What do I feel when I look for you in the sea of people?

I searched the long streets, low and broken;

Now I was crying, Where are you? The little sister that I miss day and night;

I can only feel happy and intoxicated when you are with me.

Only when I see you smile can I feel the consolation in my heart.

"AHH!" Where are you right now? The little sister that I will always miss in my heart.

"AHH!" Now that we're not together, do you know how depressed I am?

I hope that little sister can understand brother and reunite with him on time the next time we meet …

My dearest little sister, I can see that you are sitting at the 9: 55 mark, so it is around 10: 30 PM when you arrive at New Station. It was 6: 00 when I arrived at New Station. At this time, I was looking for you everywhere. Who would have expected you to go to the Erdaojiang on a big guest at 11: 40? It was also at this time that I looked around from the New Station bridge. After that, I went to the cinema to look for you. I estimate that you will be able to return to Taoyuan at 1 pm and I will then be at New Station Line 8 at 12: 30 PM. I waited until the train to Taoyuan arrived, but there was still no sign of you. Then, disappointed, I got into the car alone, listless and dejected.

My dear little sister, this misunderstanding has caused us to suffer. In order to come back to see you, I didn't even take the test for the title of farmer held in the duck garden in the district. That day, the examination hall was set up in the Duck Garden Town, so I gave up. I just want to come back and see you for a few hours. However, things did not turn out as you wished, and it was snowing heavily in the afternoon as well. This feeling, I sympathize with and understand very well. Therefore, I once again express my deep regret to little sister.

I missed the little sister. Now, I'm giving him a poem. I wrote this on December 15th. I hope you like it:

Having not seen little sister for nine days, I deeply missed him in my heart.

Thinking about you all day is like getting drunk, it's hard to fall asleep at night.

The deeper the love, the more missing, accompanied by bitter sweet and hot acid;

The bitter time is more bitter than the yellow time, sweet time is more sweet than honey.

The hot time is better than the capsicum, the sour time is worse than the vinegar;

Wishful thinking is hard to endure and often adds to your worries and sorrows.

Remembering the moment of the date, a clear picture is in front of your eyes;

"You and I are intoxicated with happiness, and all our worries are dispelled …"

Dear little sister, I did not see you on the 25th. I specially visited you on the 27th afternoon. When you asked me about it, was it for me? I say, how can you be so merciful? Think about it, your husband was home at the time. Can I say that I sent you a newspaper on purpose? Actually, I came to see you on purpose. With the excuse of delivering the newspaper, I met with you to relieve my yearning. You had a cold and a fever that day, you were sick, and you even helped me cook melon seed. I'm so touched. Since you sent the melon seed out, I won't be polite. Eating melon seed, drinking tea and playing mahjong at your house until the sun set in the afternoon before returning.

On the way back, I hastily opened the letter you gave me and tasted it from beginning to end. When I saw little sister crying for me, I couldn't control my emotions either. Involuntarily, he shed tears of emotion, sympathy, and yearning. You really are my good little sister, brother has you for life, your life in the human world is not in vain. It was you who inspired my work; it was you who fed me the food of my spirit, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

Let's stop here and talk about it next time.

I wish the little sister a happy and happy life!

This to

Salute

Your sweetheart

Evening of 23 January 1990

After reading Zi Peng's letter, Lixia could not calm down for a long time. She was filled with apology and love for him when she learned in her letter of the failure of her date. She thought: I shouldn't have guessed at him like that in the letter, misunderstood him like that, suspected him like that.

She felt a dull ache in her heart. It was she who had hurt him again in the letter. Even so, his letter had never meant to blame her; it had never meant to misunderstand her. In order to get back to meet her, he had given up taking the farmers' exam held in the district. Such deep affection, such true love, such a good brother, how could she not love him? How could she not like it? Therefore, she was moved to tears by his true feelings. She had always had a lot of tears, so how could she bear the heartfelt words he had said to her? How could he withstand his affection for her? So she wept for him.

She thought: If I had waited half an hour at the rendezvous on the 25th, it wouldn't have hurt both of us so badly. So blame yourself, not him. It was because he had waited too short; it was because he had broken his' promise of never seeing '; it was because he was full of complaints and hurt him again …

Thinking of this, she secretly made up her mind. From now on, she would love him much more, care for him much more, be considerate of him much more, and compensate him much more than before. Such a good older brother was truly rare in this world. She wanted to love him forever and ever …
