The sun shines brightly in the nine heavens,

It is no accident that all things come back to life.

So much love, so much love,

Reminiscing about the past was intoxicating.

The weather in March was full of the scent of spring. The spring breeze caressed the earth; it caressed the clothes and hair of the people; the sun was getting closer and closer to them, so that they could feel its warmth. The Farmers's preparation for farming had begun, the people who delivered the excrement were carts and small vehicles, shuttling back and forth between the main road and the fields. The children played around everywhere, jumping around, enjoying the warmth of spring to their heart's content …

Today was the '38th' Women's Day. The Rural Government Women's Union held a celebration party on the third floor's conference room.

Five comrades from Taoyuan Village, Village Head Deng Chunming, Vice Village Chief Wang, Director of Women's Affairs Ding Qingzhen, and, the medical director, participated in the joyous event.

The hall's decorations were grand and elegant. On the back wall of the platform, there were two bright red flags with women's insignia on them. On the top of the platform, there was a wide banner that read: "Erdaojiang Village Women's Union Celebration".

At the meeting, the director of the Women's Union, Liu Hongjun, made an opening speech; Wang Guoliang, a member of the Rural Party Committee, read out the recognition decision. On the Expressionism, there were seven women who were commended. They have rich women, fruit tree female top scholar, family planning representatives, filial piety of the elderly model, help for the role of a role model.

After the recognition, the The Party Secretary of the Township Ding Xichun spoke and the party ended. The party will have two programs from each village, and one program from each office in the village will have an unlimited format.

At 10: 20 PM, the party officially began. First, the director of the Women's Union, Liu Hongcheng, sang to everyone a song by Peng Liyuan: 'In the Field of Hope'. Her voice was loud and her singing voice was melodious. She received warm applause from the members of the Association. Then, the Secretary Ding sang a song about Guo Song's "New Trader". His voice sounded clear and sweet like a bell. After the singing ended, thunderous applause rang out.

Below, it was each village's turn to perform their performance. Erdao Village performed a female voice and sang together with each other: 'The Li Second Sister-in-Law who Praise Me'; The Taoyuan Village's performance consisted of a song sung by the Village Head Deng Chunming; 'A Little White Poplar'; Wang Zipeng's poem was recited aloud, and just as he stood up, someone shouted from below:

"Secretary Wang, sing a poem you wrote yourself."

"Right, give me a poem to recite."

"I

one

"Three, quick, quick, quick."

Zi Peng was very excited to hear so many people's shouts. He bowed to everyone and said:

"Since all those present today are all leaders, then I will be making a fool of myself. Today was Women's Day in '38. It was also the Year of the Horse. I want to make up a poem of my own about women, and I hope you like it:

Ma Nian will ride into the horse, celebrating the '38th';

Working hard to make a rich female top scholar, rich proficient is praised by everyone.

Learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds, respect the old and cherish the young to pass on good stories;

The sisters of this era have displayed their elegance and are willing to sacrifice their youth for the four seasons. "

After Zi Peng finished reciting the poem, he won the applause of the members of the association …

Ever since she received Zi Peng's letter, she had to read it almost every day. Because, she thought, his thoughts were too painful. He and she had not seen each other for more than ten days now, and she could not help but miss him.

Although she wrote that she would write to him once every three months, it was only eleven days since she received his letter and she felt as if she had lost her soul. He didn't want to eat anything, didn't want to do anything, didn't want to say anything.

In her agony she thought again of writing to him. So, on the morning of March 20, she wrote a letter to his brother, whom she missed day and night. That afternoon, she went to Taoyuan to deliver a letter to him; she went to Taoyuan to visit him; she went to Taoyuan to speak to him. When Zipeng went to work in the village in the afternoon, he met Lixia waiting for him on the road in front of his house. When he saw her, he asked:

"Sister, when did you get down?" "Why aren't you home?"

"Bro, I missed you so much. I can't bear to think about you anymore. I can't control how I miss you. Originally, I thought that I could write to you once every three months, but it seems that I really can't do that now. In my agony, I thought of writing to you again. "Well, I just finished my letter this morning and ate lunch, so I came over to deliver it to you."

After she finished speaking, she put a neatly folded letter into Zi Peng's hand.

"Sister, thank you for being so kind to me." These few days since I came to the Task Force, I have been unable to part with you and caused you to suffer. The day after tomorrow, March 24th, was the anniversary of our 88th movie at the Tonggang Club. He had to gather today no matter what. "Little sister, big brother dragged you down, causing you to suffer so much."

Lixia held Zi Peng's hand, looked at him with her deep love and said,

"Brother, these days, I've been thinking about you too painfully, as if you don't have a soul. Well, the chicks are still hatching at home. I couldn't leave you, but I thought you were going to suffer. I can't stand it any longer, so I decided to write to you. "

Zi Peng was deeply moved when he saw how much Lixia loved him. He couldn't help but take her in his arms, but then he let her go. They were not allowed to do this because of this occasion. This was on the main road, near his own house. If his family found out, it would be hard to say. He fixed his eyes on Liza and said:

"Sister, I also missed you so much." Don't mention how happy I am to see you here today. When I saw you, it felt like I was dreaming. However, when I looked carefully, this isn't a dream. "

Zi Peng and Lixia chatted as they walked down the road. When they arrived at the fork in the road, she went back to the sixth team. He came to the village and entered his office. It was not yet time for work, so no one came. He eagerly unfolded her letter and attentively read it. The letter read as follows:

Brother, hello:

In those long 11 days, you let me think of the pain! My good brother, don't you think so? In order to see you, I went to a meeting of seven schools on the third and to Taoyuan on the eighth. Both times I waited until eleven, but there was no sign of you.

My dearest brother, you will clearly see now that I am a fool, I am a fool, I am a woman close to going mad. Although I know that everything I have done is foolish, but all my love has been conquered by you, falling into the vortex of your love, unable to extricate itself, I miss you all the time.

Missing brother, these days, all I can look forward to is March 24th early, to meet with brother. Brother, I really did not think that while I was thinking about your pain, you would come to see me on March 12th and even personally give me a letter. At that time, I felt indescribably happy.

Brother, do you know? I have a special kind of nostalgia these days. I can't sleep every night. Whenever I close my eyes, you're with me, day and night.

Brother, what you have done is too worthy of my love. You are my dearest friend; you are my dearest brother; you are my dearest companion. Unfortunately, you are not my husband, but you are better than my husband. It's so unfair, and so unfair. Why can't we be a real couple? I had to believe in fate. It is fate that has arranged everything for me.

My dear brother, since I became acquainted with your good friend, I have indeed been given the courage of my life; the spiritual support; the sunshine of my life; the dignity of being a woman. To keep me strong; to keep my heart with you forever, and never separate.

My good brother, in these two years, you've suffered a lot for my sake, and you've also suffered a lot. Especially the day I came back from Guanghua, you care for me, considerate of me, worried about me. That day, we went from City to Erdaojiang, and then from Erdaojiang to Tao Yuan. At this time, the sky had already darkened. Despite your fatigue, you still sent me back to the sixth squad. You're so tired that your face is covered in sweat. You didn't come home until after 7 o'clock, which really makes my heart hurt and unsettled. I feel that this little sister is at too much of a disadvantage.

Dear brother, when you read this letter; when you think of our hugs; when you think of our kisses; when you think of our dates; when you think of our lovemaking; how are you feeling? Can you tell me? Would you please write me a reply in the form of a narrative?

Brother, on 24 March, at 9: 30 a.m., I will be waiting for you at the same place as in Erdaojiang.

Please take care, brother, I wish you happiness!

This to

Salute

Your little sister

22 March 1990

After Zi Peng finished reading the letter, his excited heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Her letter was filled with love, yearning and passion.

It had only been 10 days since they last met, but she was completely lost in her own thoughts and torments. How could this love not tempt him? How could she not be moved? How could she not make him cry? Originally, he didn't want to cry. It was said that 'a man doesn't shed tears lightly when they have something to shed. I'm afraid that it hasn't reached the point of being sorrowful yet'. Still, he shed tears of gratitude …

These days, there were a lot of Task Force staff in the village. There were members of the Political and Law Commission, artillery groups, and even village leaders. They had come, investigated, explored, and discussed. Zi Peng didn't have any time to spare. He could only think of her in the dead of night; bless her in the dead of night; read her photographs in the dead of night; read her letters in the dead of night...

Zipeng felt that his love with Lixia had developed to this day. It was as sweet as honey, as glue, and as hard to part with. Not to mention that she was a woman, even he, who was a man full of vigor, was unable to sleep and could not eat due to the yearning. To say that he didn't want to, that would be lying with his eyes open. Right now, his feelings and love with her had already reached the depths of his heart. If he were to say that he didn't want to, that would be a lie as well.

Therefore, he thought: In two days time it will be March 24, the anniversary of the movie she and I saw at the Tonggang Club in 1988. No matter what, no matter how busy she was, she had to find time to meet up with her …

Otherwise, he would have let her down, and she would have been disappointed. Thus, he made up his mind …

On March 23, Taoyuan Village Party Branch called for a meeting of the Sessions. At the meeting, Village Head Deng Chunming reported the contents of the meeting that was held on March 20th. He lit a Red Plum filter and took a long drag. The smoke was filtered through the lungs and then exhaled, filling every corner of the conference room. He looked at everyone and slowly said:

"The main issues in this town meeting are: first, the fire protection, the fire protection door, the fire protection sign, the repainting, and the writing. Starting from April 1, a forest protection fire brigade was set up. The second is to transform soil to build a field, changing soil to make a field is to refer to those lands with thin ridges, to take black soil to build a field from other places. The third is to make manure, the paddy field is not less than 2 cubic meters per acre, the field is not less than 3 cubic meters per acre, the vegetable field is not less than 5 cubic meters per acre. Farmers who are not fattened receive 5 yuan per mu for their land support funds. The fifth is to clean the pigsty, the toilet, the deep ditch, the garbage, and the wide source of fat. "

Next, the Branch Secretary Wang Peng introduced the Village cadres 100%. Zi Peng didn't know how to smoke, his only extravagance was drinking water. He picked up the glass of water and took a sip, then put it down. He looked straight ahead, but out of the corner of his eye he could see everyone in the room. He coughed softly and cleared his throat. He said:

"There are a lot of things we need to do because of the meeting today, let me just say a few simple words. "First, the 100% assessment of the Secretary of Branch will be made by the liaison officer and the Task Force; second, the Party's work plan will be made by the Task Force; third, the responsibility system of the other 100% assessment will be made by the secretary, village chief …"

Finally, Zhang Weixin reported on the construction work of the vinegar factory. He took a drag from his pipe and looked around at all the leaders. He said:

"With the attention of the district and township leaders, the vinegar factory has officially begun its civil construction this spring. The team must be set up before there is any civil construction. After studying at the township and village levels, Team Three agreed and formed the vinegar factory's leading team: Sun Qi trusts the plant director, Li Shuangjiang is the first vice plant director, Yang An is the second vice plant director, Wang Baosheng, Cao Guo is the competent one for the Car director.

The original district government, Vice District Minister Zhou passed the fifteenth day of the first month and the vinegar factory's leaders went to the province to ask for funds. He didn't know why, but this matter had yet to come to an end. In any case, the construction started first. Cement was bought back last winter, and the Red Brick had its own brickyard. Thus, there were no major problems with the construction of the factory.
