The white snow comes in the spring,

The single flower of La Mei is more attractive;

The three joyous Reunion Sundays,

People get fewer happy occasions.

January was the coldest day of the year; it was freezing.

Since January 4th, Zi Peng had entered a new job. He was assigned to the second cement factory. The first day he went to work, he just returned after reporting. So the next day he went back to work.

Cement production is seasonal, now is the period of suspension, cannot be produced. It would have to wait until March 10 to produce. Therefore, during this period of time, besides going to the workshop every day, Zi Peng would come back to read the newspapers. After a day, he felt at ease, having nothing to do.

cement factory's Xu Yongquan, over 30 years old, had a medium build, was a modest person, and did not have any official airs. When he met with Zi Peng, he would warmly greet him.

Huang Guiqin was the President of the Trade Union of this factory. She was in her thirties, slightly obese, with fair skin and a good face. Because she and Zi Peng were of upper and lower class, they often went to the kiln workshop to take a seat.

Once, when the trade union wanted to publish a report, Huang Guiqin went to Wang Zipeng and asked him to help her. Because the Spring Festival was coming soon, for example, do 'safe work on all four sides', 'gambling is not allowed on employee holidays', 'alcohol is not allowed', and so on. Also, the production target and measures for that year should be written in the tabloid.

Zipeng could be said to be familiar with writing tabloids. When he was the secretary of Taoyuan Village, it was all his business to publish the report. Although industry and agriculture were different in nature, it was certainly a piece of cake for a document to be copied.

He followed President of the Trade Union's instructions and finished writing the report, then had Chairman Huang come and check. After Chairman Huang finished reading, he felt very satisfied with the black board newspaper's layout, fonts and writing level. To that end, she praised him in front of the Secretary General and the plant director. From then on, Chairman Huang had one more assistant.

The vertical kiln workshop is the main workshop for cement production. It puts the dried limestone, loess, and slag into the vertical kiln furnace for calcination. After reaching a certain temperature, the sintered raw materials are sent back to the ball mill for grinding. The ground powder was cement. This process of production was very unfamiliar to Zi Peng. But he was a man of his heart, and no matter what, he had to find out what it was. As a result, he had learned humbly and humbly these days after entering the factory.

Car director Xu Chang was an expert in cement production. Because of this, he was very touched by Zi Peng's diligent and inquisitive attitude. What Zi Peng wanted to ask was explained to him in a serious, detailed, patient, and patient manner. This allowed Zi Peng to master the basic procedures and basic requirements for cement production in a relatively short period of time. During this period, he also learned about accounting, statistics, financing, and reporting from the Comptroller s in each workshop. As a result of Zipeng's diligent study and research, he finally had a deep impression of the statistical and accounting work. This added fuel to his practical work in the future. It could be said that it was easy to complete the job. Furthermore, he had previously worked as a teller and accountant in the production team. It made him even more confident in his future work.

During the period before the Spring Festival, Zi Peng didn't get a specific job; instead, he didn't actually do it on the spot. But he learned a lot about cement; he learned a lot about trade union work...

Rui Xue paved the ground in a plentiful year, and La Mei alone to welcome the new spring.

The annual New Year in 1993, with light footsteps, unknowingly, and again came to people's side.

It was a peaceful Spring Festival; it was a happy Spring Festival. To Zi Peng, this Spring Festival was extremely important; it was so vivid and colorful.

This year's Spring Festival, is an extremely unusual Spring Festival; is an extremely happy Spring Festival; is an extremely worth congratulating Spring Festival. During this year's Spring Festival, Zi Peng had three great matters to congratulate:

The first was his news, essays, essays, poems, communications, comments, suggestions, etc. He had written a total of 100 essays that had been used in the People's Radio of generalization, the Jilin Peasant Newspaper, and the Tonghua Daily. This number was something he didn't even dare to think of before, but now it had become a reality. A man who deals with land; a man who is related to hoes; a man who spends his days with crops. It was a miracle to him that he could now pick up a pen and write an article, and that he could publish it on the radio and in the newspapers; it was a kind of pride; it was a kind of pride.

The second thing to congratulate him is that he had an accident on September 12th last year. The cerebral arteries were ruptured, blood was flowing, and life was in danger. It was a good thing that they met Liu Chengzhi, who was a kind-hearted person, they were able to send him to the Tonggang Hospital in time to save him and help him complete the procedures for the hospital. Only then did he escape death and retrieve his life. To him, this life was especially important. Therefore, it is worth congratulating.

The third thing worth congratulating was that he officially became a worker in Tonggang on the 4th of January. Although he was temporarily in Collective workers, he was still a worker. His ancestors were all peasants, and only in his lifetime did he have the power to reverse the situation; only then did he completely uproot the peasants from his roots; only then did he completely break away from the countryside, and the peasants from his roots. Not only did he become a worker, but the three children also became a worker. Even my mother, who is over 80 years old, receives 53.5 yuan a month for her living expenses. For this reason, he felt that it was the greatest joy of all; the greatest joy of all time; the greatest joy of his life. Therefore, it is more worth congratulating...

January 22nd, New Year's Eve, 1993. On this day, Zi Peng also woke up early. After eating breakfast, they would still mix lanterns, paste couplets, stir-fry melon seed, and fry peanuts, preparing various festive dishes. After everything was ready, they still went to the sixth group of stonecrop s to help their adoptive father get to the grave as usual in the afternoon.

Although his adoptive father had passed away in June 1987, almost six years later, the depth of his feelings for him was something he would never forget, not even for the rest of his life. He had just arrived in the sixth team, and when he was bullied, it was his foster father who took care of him; when he was hungry, it was his foster father who took care of him; when he was sick, it was his foster father who took care of him by borrowing money from him … These feelings of love were something he would never forget.

Therefore, every New Year's Day, every day when he went to the grave, he went to the grave for his adoptive father. The place where he lived was about fifteen miles from his foster father's grave. He did not care whether it was hot or cold; he did not care whether it was rainy or windy. He will go to the grave when there is a holiday. For this reason, this spring afternoon, he went to the grave for his adoptive father.

Before Zipeng buried his foster father, he had to make a detour to see the little sister Lixia, whom he missed day and night. Because he hadn't been with her for more than 20 days. On December 31, he and Zi Peng met at City. On January 6, Zi Peng's mother celebrated her 80th birthday. Thus, in these 22 days, he only had one chance to meet with her. This time he took a detour to see Lixia, he had already thought about it at home.

When Zi Peng arrived at Lisha's home, it was already 2 in the afternoon. Just as he reached the entrance, the big yellow dog ran out of the yard to welcome him. A group of goose s and ducks all stretched their necks to greet him. A group of roosters and hens s were chasing each other in the yard.

The doors and doors of Lisa's house were pasted with the New Year's couplet. Outside the window, there was a twenty feet tall lantern with a big red lantern hanging from it. The lanterns were stuck to the yellow auspicious flowers. The yellow tassels of the lanterns, over a foot long, swayed in the wind …

Hearing the dog bite, both Lixia and Gui Hong came out of the house. When they saw that it was Zi Peng, Lixia couldn't help grinning from ear to ear. The two of them quickly let Zi Peng into the house. Zi Peng went into the house to take a look. It was truly a new scene for the new year: kang had made a new piece of furniture with a kang zither attached to it; kang had made a new piece of kang leather with white flowers on it;

The family had not had lunch. She knew that her brother would come this afternoon. Thus, she waited for Zi Peng's arrival.

When Lixia saw that Zi Peng had arrived, she was overjoyed. Her face was full of smiles as she climbed up her eyebrows in joy. There was no reason for her to be unhappy, because she and he had never met again after the departure of City on December 31. Besides, on the sixth of January, when he went to celebrate his mother's eightieth birthday, he had adopted her as his godmother. Normally she was his mother's son's daughter-in-law; normally his mother was her mother-in-law. However, this was all private. Only she and he would agree. But this time it was different. She was both his mother's goddaughter and his godsister. With this relationship, it undoubtedly brought him closer to her …

Lia Xia brought Zi Peng to the table and sat him down, then called for Gui Hong and Xiao Wei to come over and eat. Zipeng was sitting in the middle of the table, his eyes darting to the table, which was full of the usual dishes he couldn't eat: fried cuttlefish, stewed roosters, braised beef, returned elbows, fried chili fillets, a few fresh vegetables, and cold mixes.

After they sat down, Gui Hong greeted Zi Peng with a wide smile. Lixia poured a cup of red plum wine for Zi Peng, then another cup for herself, and Gui Hong poured himself a cup of white wine. She stood up with a big smile and said,

"Thank you second brother for coming to visit us this new year. Our family is very happy from the bottom of our hearts. second brother is a worker from now on, you can't forget about us farmers in the future, right? Come, second brother, let me toast you, I wish you a happy Spring Festival, and all the best! I wish you a successful job and a successful career! Cheers! "

After she finished speaking, she, him, Zi Peng, and Gui Hong clinked their wine cups and drank it all at the same time.

Gui Hong drank half a cup of white wine, put down his wine cup and asked:

"second brother, how do you feel about being a worker?"

Hearing Gui Hong's question, Zi Peng smiled and said to him,

"Not bad, I feel good. I have been assigned to the second cement factory and have yet to produce it. "

After Zipeng finished, Lixia asked:

"second brother, what job did the cement factory assign to you?"

Zi Peng answered Lixia's question while stuffing food into his mouth:

"I am very satisfied with the assignment. To be a Comptroller in the vertical kiln workshop, to be a President of the Workshop Trade Union in the workshop, and to also be a Deputy Director in the workshop. "

After listening to Zi Peng's answer, Rizhao and Gui Hong spoke at the same time:

"Sure! After all, second brother is a material for being a cadre, no matter where you go, you will always be a cadre? "

Zi Peng was elated when he heard the words of the couple. He took over and said:

"The cadres are not that big, but I think they are very good and very satisfied. As long as he was free, no matter how much he earned, it would be fine. I went for half a month and didn't work all day. I spent my days in the office reading newspapers. "

At this time, Lixia poured another glass of wine for Zi Peng, and said with deep emotion.

"I was just thinking that a talented person like the second brother would be reused wherever he goes."

Zi Peng looked at the charming smile on Lixia's face and said with emotion,

"I don't want to be a cadre, I just want a place to settle down for the rest of my life. "After I retire, I will be satisfied with a fixed set of living expenses."

Lixia was on the table, constantly toasting Zi Peng. In the span of an hour, Rosia and Zi Peng drank up two bottles of wine. This was the first time she had drunk so much since they had started drinking, since they had met; this was the first time since they had fallen in love.

After Zi Peng had his fill, he bade farewell to Lia Xia and Gui Hong and left for stonecrop to visit their graves. She walked him to the door and said:

"Brother, tomorrow is the first day of the first month. I'm going to visit your house to pay my respects. Please wait for me at home."

Zi Peng stared at the burning gaze of Lixia and said sincerely:

"Sister, don't worry. I won't go anywhere tomorrow. I'll only wait at home for your arrival."

After he finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the stonecrop …
