While talking, Zi Peng and Li Xia arrived at the generalization train station. The bus were waiting for them. So, he sent her back to Peach Blossom, where she was seated on the eighth string, and he sent her back to Erdaojiang, where he sat on the third string.
Lixia got off at Taoyuan near 4 o'clock, she walked alone on the six teams of mountain roads. As she walked, she recalled the scene of today's gathering. She thought: It was hard enough for him to be out with me all day in this cold weather. But he never said he worked hard, always thinking for me; always thinking for me; always worried about me. I have such a person who knows how to accompany me, no matter how bitter and tired I am, my heart is still sweet. I did suffer a lot for him. For example, the times I went back to Guanghua, I always took the afternoon bus. Once it was winter and it was already dark when he got out of the car. I'm a weak woman, and I'm really scared when I walk in the underworld. But I did it for him! Thinking like this, his courage grew. That day, I was wearing a new pair of shoes that didn't fit my feet. Before he could reach home, his heels were worn out. I felt waves of pain, but I was suffering because of him! Do you think it's strange? As soon as I thought of him, the pain lessened. This may be what people often call a 'spiritual action'. And then on December 3, last year, I went with him to Evergreen. The journey back and forth is more than 60 miles. If I were to walk by myself, I would have already been exhausted to the point that I don't know how many times I would have to rest. But do you think it's weird to walk with him? He didn't feel tired at all. I doubt if I'm an abnormal mental patient. No wonder people often say, 'Men and women go with each other, but don't they get tired?' This was the absolute truth. I was the most persuasive of them; I was the most clear of them. Take today for example, he bought me a Movie tickets, he bought me a wonton stew, he was worried that I would freeze to death. My heart was warm, and I was touched by it. I have been in love with him for almost five years, and for five years he has suffered as much for me as he has for me; he has spent more money than I have; he has spent a great deal more for me than he has for me. Therefore, I am more grateful to him; therefore, I love him more; therefore, I cannot leave him …
As she thought about this, she unknowingly arrived at her own front door …
Zi Peng took the 3-line bus back to Erdaojiang, then rode his bicycle back. Along the way, he was also recalling the time he had spent with her. He thought: She was shivering from the cold today to go out with me. Thanks to a movie, I was able to warm up. Only after eating another bowl of hot stew did her entire body break out in sweat. She was thirty-seven, too, and she was so devoted to me; she was so devoted to me; she was so passionate about me that I was grateful to her. Her concern for me, her love for me, her consideration for me, outweighed her own. Such a good woman, such a good sister, such a good wife, it was hard to find even with a lantern. I met her and had five years of deep love with her; I had five years of true love with her; I had five years of shared hardships and hardships with her; I had five years of experience in the wind and in the rain; and I had five years of summer and summer with her. Do you think this is a normal sentiment? Was this the general consensus? No! This was a love that was sweeter than honey; this was a love that was deeper than the sea; this was a couple that depended on each other for life and death; this was a friendship that shared hardships. So I felt sorry for her for the little she had done. She and I have been through five years of stormy journey. In these five years, how many times has she gone to Longshan in order to accompany me? In the past five years, to accompany me, how many times had she walked back and forth on the river bank? How many times had she visited that mountain in the past five years in order to accompany me? 5. To be able to come, she has suffered so much in order to accompany me …
On the 9th of January, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Wang Zhizhen, the editor of the Tonghua Daily Society, Liang Jinghua, Yao Feng Xin, the director of the photography department, Xu Defu, the propaganda minister of the Erdao District Committee, and Guo Guiying, the propaganda committee of the Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee, arrived at Taoyuan Village.
The purpose of their visit was to visit an amateur correspondent whom they had never met. This messenger was Prince Peng Secretary of the Party Branch of Taoyuan Village.
In this half a year, Wang Zipeng had written and published quite a few manuscripts on the Tonghua Daily, but they had not been able to see his true face at all. They were very concerned about the famous radio correspondent. Thus, on the ninth day after New Year's Day, during the three or nine days when the cold wind was cutting through the bones and the water froze to ice, Wang Zipeng did not expect to visit this village official who had neither merit nor lee and who was two levels younger than a sesame seed.
At this moment, Zi Peng was having a meeting in the conference room. He was overjoyed to hear that the chief editor of the city newspaper had come to see him. He had never expected that the three leaders of the city newspaper, a small village amateur correspondent, would come to visit him. There was also Department Head Xu from the District Committee's Propaganda Department and Ms. Guo from the Rural Party Committee's Propaganda Committee. He felt the excitement of the moment; he felt the excitement of the moment; he felt the glory of the moment. After the meeting, the city newspaper's leaders, district and township propaganda department shook hands with him one by one, which made him feel flattered. He let the five of them into his office and poured each of them a cup of tea to warm them up.
Zi Peng poured tea for them and said,
"Leaders, you came all the way here. Today's weather is especially cold, so why don't you sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm your body? "I am an amateur correspondent in a ravine. I am flattered that the leaders have personally come to see me. I thank you all first."
Editor-in-Chief Wang drank a few mouthfuls of hot tea with a cup of water in his hand. After he heard Zi Peng's words, he put down the cup and said sincerely:
"I've seen the articles you wrote. They were very good, and they caught things quite accurately. In the countryside, to have a correspondent like you is not only the pride of the village and the township, but also the pride of our newspaper. It is only natural for us to come and see you in the spirit of 'unfettered demeaning of talent'. We should care about your growth. Your grades for the past six months are among the best of the newspaper correspondents. Therefore, our newspaper and the District Committee
Minister Xu of the Propaganda Department, and Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee's Committee of Advocate Guo all specially came to visit you. One is to acknowledge your achievements, two is to encourage your work, and three is to get to know each other and make it easier for us to work in the future. "
Editor-in-Chief Wang was close to 60 years old this year. He had a tall and sturdy build, a pair of large eyes that could speak, a kind face, and an elegant demeanor.
"Wang Zipeng, this comrade is very talented. Last year, he had attended the correspondent's classes in the district. His results will only be the results of the region. On behalf of the District Committee, I thank you. " After saying that, Department Head Xu shook hands with Zi Peng. Department Head Xu was over 30 years old and had a medium build, which made her look very impressive.
Guo Guiying was around 30 years old with a delicate face. She had short hair and was about 1.65 meters tall. After she heard what Department Head Xu had to say, she took over and said:
"Comrade Zi Peng is the Secretary of the Party Branch of this village. Last year, he was the first in the whole village of correspondents' evaluation. He wrote three articles published in the Jilin Farmer's newspaper and was the main reporter of our village newsletter. "
After a few pleasantries, Editor-in-Chief Wang also asked about the implementation of the eighth plenary meeting, the situation of the peasants' lives, the changes of the peasants, and so on. Then, Zi Peng followed them down to the village group and walked around.
When Zi Peng, Editor-in-Chief Wang and the rest returned to the village, it was already noon. At this time, Village Head Deng Chunming and Vice Village Chief Wang were waiting for them in the conference room. Seeing that Zi Peng and Editor-in-Chief Wang had returned, they hurriedly shook hands with them and greeted them warmly. Chun Ming said:
"Thank you Editor-in-Chief Wang for coming to us today, thank you the two editors of the city newspaper for coming to the village to visit our Secretary Wang, thank you District Committee's Minister Xu and Rural Party Committee's Commissioner Guo Jiu for coming to Taoyuan Village in the freezing cold. Your arrival will bring glory to our village. Your arrival will cheer for our Secretary Wang. Since you have come today, I hope that you can enjoy a meal here. "
When Zi Peng heard Chun Ming's words, he felt that it made a lot of sense. So he gestured for everyone to sit down. After everyone had sat down, Zi Peng said,
"Editor-in-Chief Wang, Department Head Xu, you heard what Secretary Deng said just now. It's noon now, let's have a quick lunch in our village. The conditions here are far worse than in the city, so I hope you guys don't mind. "
When the Editor-in-Chief Wang heard the words of the Secretary Deng and Zi Peng, he looked at the few people who came with him and asked:
"The leaders of the Taoyuan Village are all very passionate. They want us to stay and eat here.
After hearing Editor-in-Chief Wang Ji's question, Department Head Xu and the others said in unison:
"This question should be decided by the chief editor. We'll all listen to you."
When the Editor-in-Chief Wang heard the four of them, he could only agree. So he said,
"Alright then, I will be troubling Taoyuan Village at noon today. Originally, we had discipline, we could not eat at the grassroots level. "How can it be so hard to refuse your kindness? We can only follow the host."
Hearing Editor-in-Chief Wang's words, Zi Peng and Chun Ming felt very happy in their hearts. Thus, the group of eight of them came to Power plant hotel. The Erdao River Power Plant was a big business here, so the conditions of their restaurant were slightly better.
Actually, before Zi Peng and Editor-in-Chief Wang went down to visit the production team, Zi Peng had already greeted Chun Ming. When Zi Peng and the others went down to visit, Chun Ming contacted the Power plant hotel via phone: He booked a private room and prepared 12 good dishes.
By the time they arrived at the restaurant, the twelve dishes were ready. When the waiter saw them, he quickly brought the dishes to the table. The 12 dishes were: braised beef, sweet and sour carp, fried chicken, Peking Duck, fried prawns, fried chilli peppers on the belly, steamed legumes with large bones, stir-fried green peppers on the pork meat, powdered cucumber and sea jellyfish.
In addition, there were two bottles of Wuliangye and a bottle of beer. At the table, Zi Peng, Chun Ming and Liang Jinghua from the newspaper office, as well as the Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee's propaganda committee Guo Guiying were all drinking beer, while the Editor-in-Chief Wang, Yao Feng Xin, Xu De Fu and Wang Chang all drank white spirits.
After Zi Peng filled everyone's glasses with wine, Secretary of Branch Deng Chunming raised his wine and stood up. He looked around with his eyes and politely said:
"I feel very honored to be together with Editor-in-Chief Wang's Editor-in-Chief Wang, Chief Yao, Editor Liang, Minister Xu of the District Committee's Propaganda Department, and the Rural Party Committee's Propaganda Commissioner, Ms. Guo. For so many big shots to come from our little mountain village, we have to thank our Secretary Wang first. We Secretary Wang have always been a Secretary of Branch of this village for the past few years. This year, he asked for a change of shoulders, which was why he became Deputy Secretary-General. This comrade is very talented, and his writing is also very good. He is modest and studious. He began writing news reports last year and published a number of articles in the generalization Radio, the Tonghua Daily and the Jilin Farmer's Newspaper. Especially the Tonghua Daily, who gave him great support. To thank the leaders, today, the village prepared a light wine and light food, without respect, and hoped that everyone would have a good time to eat. We also hope that we can contact each other in the future, get closer, and give us greater support. Come, let's all raise our glasses. Let me toast everyone. Cheers! "
After Chun Ming finished speaking, he clinked his wine glass with everyone else's and drank his first cup of wine. Chenchen lit up a cigarette for everyone, and Zi Peng poured them a second glass of wine. At this time, Editor-in-Chief Wang stood up while smoking and raising his wine cup, he said happily:
"I am extremely grateful to the leaders of the Taoyuan Village for being so warm to us. To be honest, he didn't come here to eat. Mainly to visit our newspaper's correspondent, Comrade Zi Peng. Firstly, I don't know him, secondly, we aren't friends, and thirdly, we aren't Family and friends. Just because he had published a lot of articles in the newspaper in the past six months and was of a high quality. To that end, it has attracted our attention. It was only then that we decided to visit him, to give him some care and encouragement, which is what our newspaper is supposed to do. But today, through Zi Peng, we met the Secretary Deng and Village Chief Wang, which made us even happier. I hope Comrade Zi Peng will continue to write more manuscripts to support our work in the future. I would like to borrow the Taoyuan Village's wine to toast everyone. May we support each other, encourage each other, take advantage of each other's weaknesses, and let the flower of friendship bloom brighter and brighter in the future. "Come, cheers!"
After Editor-in-Chief Wang finished speaking, he bumped into a wall with everyone and drank his second cup of wine. When Zi Peng was about to be drunk for the third time, he raised his glass and stood up. He swept everyone with his eyes and said with a smile:
"I was especially happy today. I didn't expect the Editor-in-Chief Wang and two directors of the newspaper, as well as the District Committee's Minister of Propaganda and the Rural Party Committee's Promotional Committee member, would come to this small ravine to see me. In fact, my main purpose in writing was to complete the tasks assigned to me in the village. It is also a required course for me to work as a secretary, and a good form of improving my cultural level and quality. I thank the leaders for visiting me on the coldest days, and your support and encouragement will give me an incentive to move forward. I will keep writing in the future and better publicize the good people at the township and village levels. I wish everyone a toast, wish you good health and good luck in your new year! "Come, cheers!"
After saying that, Zi Peng clinked glasses with everyone and drank the third cup of wine. At noon today, the drinking went especially smoothly. Following that, the District Committee's Minister of Propaganda, Xu Defu, the Rural Party Committee's Committee of Propaganda Advocate, Guo Guiying, the photographic director, Yao Fengxin, the editor, Liang Jinghua, and the village chief of Taoyuan Village all made short statements. They drank from 11.30 p.m. until one p.m., during which time everyone performed a performance. In the end, everyone happily ended this unusual lunch...
