On October 14th, Zi Peng went to Taoyuan Village after breakfast. This was the third time he had visited the Taoyuan Village since leaving the hospital.

The first time, on 30 September, his main purpose was to hand over to the village some files, files, transcripts, and other offshoot related materials that he had in charge of the Party's affairs. Because he had left the Taoyuan Village on September 17th.

The second time was on October 4th, when they went to the Taoyuan Village to hand over their Party work. On this day, he caught up with the villagers who came down to check up on family planning and forest protection. Thus, he pushed the time to today.

Zi Peng arrived at the village at 8 a.m. on the 14th, coincidentally, the Secretary Deng was in his office. He had seen Zipeng come to the village three times and had no time to handle the transaction, so he felt a little sorry for himself. He walked forward and held Zi Peng's hand and said:

"Secretary Wang, I am truly sorry. Such a small matter caused you to run over three times in a row. Since you're here today, I threw all the work I have and took your pile. When the new secretary comes up, I'll give it to him. "

Hearing Chun Ming's words, Zi Peng felt his heart heat up. He also knew that there was a lot of work going on in the village, so he said:

"Secretary Deng, you are too polite. Who are we and who are we? Your work is busy, of course. In the past, so many people had things to do. Now, four people at a time, do you think it's possible for me to not be busy? It doesn't matter, since I'm alone right now, I have plenty of time. If you still have time today, I'll come back next time. "

Chun Ming poured a cup of tea for Zi Peng and handed it to him.

"Secretary Wang, I'm really sorry. Rest for a while and have some water. Once we finish this business, won't we be done? "

Zi Peng took the cup, drank some water, and talked to Chun Ming.

"Chunming, has the new secretary in charge of Party affairs been elected yet?"

Chun Ming was moved by Zi Peng's question. He didn't think that Zi Peng was someone who was going to leave, and would still be so concerned about the matters of the village. He lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and said:

"Not yet? The last person I discussed with you, I went to the Party Committee. The Party committee has also agreed to wait for the next meeting of the Party members to pass. "

When Zi Peng heard Chun say that the new secretary was not in office yet, he said:

"Chun Ming, if there's anything new in the village you need to advertise, just let me know." Even though I'm not in the village right now, I'm still thinking about what happened in the village. "

Seeing the change in Zi Peng's expression, Chun Ming said truthfully:

"Secretary Wang, then I'll thank you first. In the future, I will trouble you. Now that you've left, the publicity and reporting in the village will be a blank slate. If you leave, even the village will lose a main source of publicity and reporting. To be honest, Rural Party Committee and Qu Xiang Chang do not agree with you leaving. However, there was no other way. Who told you to take such a step? They also very much understand and sympathize with your feelings, but also bear the pain of love. If there's a way, they can keep you. "

When Zi Peng heard Chun Ming's words, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. He took a sip of water and said:

"Chun Ming, at my age, if I don't have this opportunity, I'm afraid I will have to stay in the countryside for the rest of my life. Ever since I went to Taoyuan Village from 87 years ago, I have been able to do my job well with your great support. I really must thank you for that. "

When Chun Ming saw Zi Peng's humble appearance, he felt even more kindly disposed towards him. He put out his cigarette in the ashtray and said from the bottom of his heart:

"Secretary Wang, you are too polite. Do you still need our support at your level? In the past few years, every year, Taoyuan Village had exceeded the standards set by the village and received praises from the village. Isn't it all thanks to you that I was able to obtain all of this? "

When Zi Peng heard Chun Ming's words, he felt the same way. While he was opening the cabinet with his key, he said to Chun Ming:

"I've been advocating unity for a few years, not sectarian division. No one can do a good job if they're ganging up.

When Chun Ming heard Zi Peng's words, he was deeply moved. He poured another cup of water for Zi Peng, then said,

"It is because of your righteousness that we are able to unite and accomplish our tasks together."

After talking to Chun Ming for a while, Zi Peng handed over the Party work to Secretary of Branch Deng Chunming …

On October 29, the weather was gloomy, with a light drizzle. The northwest wind was very cold, and the temperature was close to zero.

In such vile weather, Zi Peng and Li Xia met at their usual place in New Station at 9: 30 in the morning.

Today was an unusual day, a memorable day. On October 29, 1989, he and she first stayed in an inn in the Fast Town. It was the first time he and she had ever lived together, from knowing each other; from feeling each other's feelings to feeling each other. This feeling was beautiful, happy, intoxicated, and ecstatic for him and her. Three years later, today was October 29. So he and she had come together again in memory of this extraordinary day; in memory of this most memorable day of his and her life; in memory of the moment when they had spent a night together in the inn.

Today's weather was very bad. It had started to drizzle, but now it was drizzling again. Setting obstacles to his date with her; adding annoyance and inconvenience to his date with her.

Zi Peng and Lixia were walking on the embankment that led to Changbai Mountain Theater for ten miles, and they were whispering their thoughts to each other as they walked. He said:

"Sis, how could this October 29th this year be such a bad weather? Is the heavens trying to make fun of us? "

Lixia still held onto Zi Peng's arm, and said affectionately:

"Brother, regardless of whether the weather is good or bad, whether the heavens tease us or not, it's still a memorial."

Zi Peng felt warm in his heart when he saw Lixia being so persistent. He held her hand and sincerely said,

"Sister is right, we should just watch a movie today. Warm up, what do you think? "

Hearing Zipeng say that she wanted to watch a movie, Lixia was very willing to watch it. She looked at his wet clothes and said sympathetically:

"I'll listen to my brother."

At this moment, Zi Peng recalled the weather on October 29, 89, so he said to Lixia,

"Sister, October 29th, 1989. The weather isn't too good either. The north wind is blowing and it's snowing softly. It's colder than today."

Lixia looked at Zi Peng's expectant gaze and mumbled,

"Bro, this is probably all arranged by the heavens. It's God's punishment for both of us."

Zi Peng had one hand on Lixia's shoulder, while the other hand held her hand. He said with infinite emotion:

"It's not a punishment, but fate is not good."
