On the eve of New Year's Eve, the air was cold and the water was freezing.

On December 27th, the weather was very cold, and the temperature reached -30 degrees Celsius. On such a cold day, Zi Peng and Lixia met at the same place in New Station at 9 o'clock in the morning. This was their second date since November 9, 18 days apart. In the meantime, he and she met once on December 8, the day his mother was discharged from the hospital. That day, she came down to take care of some business. She happened to meet her mother at the entrance of Taoyuan Village and had lunch there. After that, they never saw each other. The date was also on December 8th, when he wrote her a note. That was why they had a date today.

Today, there were no clouds in the sky, and the sun was hanging in the sky, showing no signs of power. Who knew where the might of summer had gone to? The sun was still bright; the sun was still high, the sun was still round, but people were too far away, too far away...

After Zipeng and Lixia met, they walked up the river bank for another ten miles. This river wall was the special way for the both of them to reach the City. It didn't matter if it was spring, summer, autumn or winter; it didn't matter if the weather was good or bad. Anyone who reached City would definitely tread this path. It was as if the embankment had an unbreakable bond with them; as if the embankment had a special affinity with them; as if the embankment were connected with them. Therefore, he had deep feelings for her.

The current embankment was covered with snow, and the flowerbeds and lawns were covered with a thick layer of snow. Only the trees by the side of the river were still standing there, unyielding, bathed in the cold wind; in the middle of the embankment was a mirror-like road, crushed by a car. If one was not careful, they would fall over; there was a large field on the river, a skating rink for the students; a group of boys and girls glided freely on the ice rink; and some children were playing with the snowmen outside the skating rink …

On the riverbank, Lixia held Zi Peng's arm and said affectionately:

"Brother, I've missed you a lot these past few days. I've been looking forward to seeing you every day, but you haven't come every day. Therefore, when I think of you, I feel a special pain in my heart; a special depression in my heart. It was as if she had lost her soul and didn't want to do any work; didn't want to eat anything; didn't want to say anything, didn't feel the least bit interesting. Fortunately, on the 8th of December, I went out to handle some matters. I met you and your sister at the moment when you were picking up your mother and leaving the hospital. I only regained my calm after seeing you. "

When Zi Peng heard Lixia's words, he couldn't help but feel this way in his heart. He took her hand and said sincerely:

"Little sister, actually, big brother also really misses you." During that time, my mother was very sick, so I had to take a few days off from work. On the day that I saw you on December 8th, Mother's sickness improved and she returned home. Coincidentally, she met you at the entrance of Taoyuan Village. When I saw you at that time, you didn't have to mention how happy I felt. It was even sweeter than eating honey. "

Lixia admired Zi Peng's character, especially his filial piety towards the elderly, which made her envious of him from the bottom of her heart. Thinking of this, she said,

"Brother, I really envy you for being so filial to the old man."

Zi Peng was famous for being filial and respectful towards the elderly in Taoyuan Village. He was naturally very happy to hear her say so. He looked at her elegant face and said with deep emotion:

"Little sister, mother grew me up and taught me to study. That's why I have this day. Mother had suffered too much in this life. In the first half of her life, she didn't even have a single good day. Until I can make money, life will only get better day by day. Say, since my mother treats me so well, can I bear to see her sick and not care about it? "No, if that's the case, then he's not a human, he's not even comparable to animals."

After listening to Zi Peng's words, Lixia said in a deep voice,

"Brother, Mother is such a kind person. Not only does she have a good heart, but she also has a kind of fate with me. So last year, on my mother's birthday, she accepted me as her daughter. I have such a mother, I also feel very happy. Especially my brother truly loves me, I feel even more happy. For the first time in my life, I felt what it was like to be a mother; to feel the kindness and concern of a mother; to feel the happiness of a mother. Thus, I am satisfied for the rest of my life. "

Zi Peng acknowledged his mother as his mother to Lixia, and felt very lucky in his heart. Listening to her words, he sincerely said:

"Little sister, mother is a good person. If you treat her well, she can use 10 good people to repay you. It is indeed your fortune that she has taken you in as her daughter. "

Lixia believed that she had recognized Zi Peng's mother as her own mother, and that this was the happiest thing in her life. Not only can enjoy motherly love, but also can legitimately visit missing older brother. Thinking of this, she said,

"Brother, ever since I've adopted my mother, I've been able to come to your house as a matter of fact, and no one ever speaks ill of me again."

Zi Peng felt very sweet in his heart when he saw the happy look on her face. He looked into her big, watery, talking eyes and said matter-of-factly:

"This is the cleverness of my little sister; this is the foresight and wisdom of my little sister. After you took her on, we were closer than ever. In fact, even though my mother knew everything about us, she couldn't oppose us. As long as mother is good to us, what's the point of other people wanting to talk too much? We can ignore it and just ignore it. "

Hearing Zi Peng's words, Lixia felt warm in her heart. She changed the topic and said:

"Brother, we have been through six different seasons together, I feel like this is happening right in front of our eyes. But if I don't see you soon, I'll feel like I'm living a long time. Brother, say, isn't this a contradiction? "

Zi Peng was very interested in such a question from Lixia. After listening to her question, he explained to her:

"Sister, from the point of view of dialectical materialism, contradiction is both unity and opposition. When you feel that there is nothing to worry about, when you feel good, the contradictions are united; when you feel that there is a longing, a worry, a desire to see, and a loss, the contradictions are opposite. "

After listening to Zi Peng's explanation, Lixia felt that it made a lot of sense. She looked at his smiling face and praised,

"You are not only a literary person, but also a philosopher. After the little sister heard this, she felt that it was very convincing. My life isn't even a third of brother's. Brother, you have such a silly little sister, don't you feel regret? "

When Zi Peng saw that Lixia felt inferior again, he took the opportunity to encourage her:

"Sister, I only feel happy because of you. How can I regret it? Actually, little sister's education level is higher than mine. Just from the letters you wrote to me, to say nothing of anything else, they were of a high standard. Do you think it's easy to move my tears? You are a person, one is modest, two is self-abasement, does not treat oneself correctly, only sees others' merit, and ignores oneself's merit. That's why I thought of that. "

Hearing Zi Peng's encouragement, Lixia felt a lot more at ease. At this moment, she returned to her previous joyful mood. She looked at his happy expression and said emotionally:

"Brother, when I have nothing to do at home, the first person I think of is you. Especially those warm handshakes when we were together; especially those tight hugs when we were together; especially those sweet kisses when we were together; especially those intoxicating caresses when we were together; especially those ecstatic moments when we were together, as if it were happening right before our eyes. Brother, do you think this person is weird? Before, we had no feelings, no love, no longing, but this heart is quite calm. "Once we have these, we can't help but think about you; we can't help but reminisce; we can't help but be attracted to you."

Zi Peng was deeply moved after hearing what Lixia had to say. He felt that what she said wasn't unreasonable. So he said,

"Sister, humans are high level animals, once they establish their feelings, once there is love, once there is longing, it is normal to attract each other. Without these foundations and conditions, on the other hand, there would be nothing; one would be as calm as a mirror. "

Hearing Zi Peng's explanation, she felt that it made sense. But at the same time, she felt that being too calm wasn't good for her. So she asked:

"Brother, if you were as calm as a mirror, wouldn't that be lifeless? "Then what's the point?"

Hearing this, Zi Peng felt like he was just giving in to logic. And so he talked to her:

"Therefore, after love, miss each other, you and I will not be at peace; it will stir up waves; it will make you feel pain. It is only when we meet that we can calm down; it is only when we meet that we can feel comfortable; it is only when we meet that we can feel happy ….

Zi Peng and Lixia talked as they came to the Changbai Mountain Theater. They were going to see a movie today, to warm up in the theater, to have a good time in the theater, to enjoy some of the happiness of love in the theater.

Today's movie is a Hong Kong film, "Huang Feihong," which is a martial arts film. As a result, there were a lot of people watching movies. When he and she entered the room, it was pitch black and the only thing they could see was the screen. After a while, his eyes adjusted to the darkness. So he and she found seats and sat down.

Since their reunion on November 9th in City, Zi Peng and Li Xia had not made love for an entire month and eighteen days. Today, he sat with her in the theater, so it was normal for them to have a bit of intimate …

An hour and a half of filming soon ended. After the party ended, he and she went to a restaurant called Wonder Stew. After each of them had eaten a bowl of hot stew, they all felt warm and sweaty. So he and she went out of the restaurant and walked to the embankment of the river.

Zi Peng and Lixia walked up the embankment of the river. This time, they had to walk all the way to the train station. Although the distance from Changbai Mountain Theater to the train station was over 15 miles, it only took a short while for them to reach there. He didn't feel tired at all. He didn't feel cold at all; he didn't feel long at all. After walking for over an hour, they had finally walked from one side of the road to the other. They had finally walked from New Station to the old one.

December 29, the day when the refractory plant holds its second staff assembly. This is the annual general meeting; this is the general meeting of enterprises and workers; this is the summing up of the past, the opening of the future general meeting.

It was the first time since Zi Peng came to refractory plant that he was preparing for such a convention. Since the beginning of December, Zipeng has been preparing for the convening of a staff congress. This job was foreign to him. He had never prepared for such a convention. But he relied on his cultural skills; on his spirit of unashamed questioning; on his hard work. The preparations for this meeting were very thorough; the preparations for this meeting were very comprehensive; and the preparations for this meeting were very detailed.

There were a lot of documents and materials required for the Conference, so the first thing it needed was a report on the work of the plant director. Although he didn't have to write the report himself, he needed the numbers and some of the content when writing the General Assembly resolutions. Next, he went to the various workshops to gather proposals from the staff, as well as a comprehensive proposal. and wrote out the document that answered the proposal; the third content was that President of the Trade Union would make a report at the meeting, and this report was written by Zi Peng himself. The report contained a summary of the work of the past year, a description of the intention to proceed with the collection of contributions, and a fourth on the General Assembly resolution. Although the General Assembly resolution was very short, the contents should be strict, the numbers should be precise, the writing should be just right; the writing should be vivid and touching; and the writing should meet the requirements of the current situation. In addition to that, he would also need to prepare the schedule of conferences, the names of the bureaux, and so on.

Zi Peng had been preparing these tasks for more than 20 days. After he collected all these documents, he would have to go to the typist to type and then correct them before he could officially type out the template, print them out and book them. And it was distributed to the workshop, section and plant leader's hands three days before the convention to let them see if there were any ideas or not, and if they were mentally prepared …

December 29th, at 1 p.m., the 3rd floor's conference room was fully occupied as the staff member's congress officially began. Zi Peng, the trade union officer, took the Chair. The first agenda of the meeting will be to announce the opening of the meeting, stand up and sing the national anthem; the second one will warmly welcome the company leaders to the meeting; and the third one. The officers would sit down at the podium; The fourth schedule, the company leader's speech, followed by a hearty farewell; The fifth calendar, President of the Trade Union Cui Zhongchang's summary of 93 years of trade union work; The sixth schedule, plant director's summary of 93 years of administrative work; The seventh schedule, Deputy plant director's He De Yi's report of 93 years of work; The eighth calendar, the final report of the Party's general secretary, Yi Mian; The ninth calendar, Zi Peng's reading of General Assembly resolutions; The tenth schedule, the adoption of General Assembly resolutions through the above-mentioned reports. Finally, all stood up and sang an international song. At the end of the song, Zi Peng declared the second session of the General Staff Council of the Fire Resisting Plant of Tonggang to be closed …

When Zi Peng returned to his office, he broke out in a cold sweat. Because he was a farmer, a farmer. He knew nothing about industrial enterprises. Even though he had put in a lot of effort and effort into preparing this job fair, he had personally checked all kinds of documents and materials. But he was still afraid that the leader would find fault in the meeting; he was still afraid that there was still a problem with the hundred secrets; but he was also afraid that there would be an inadequacy in language, in numbers. Thankfully, the meeting had ended; the leaders had not picked their faults; and finally, they had passed the test. Thinking about it, he came to President of the Trade Union Cui Zhongchang's office. He was here to seek the Chairman Choi's opinion. He said:

"Chairman Choi, how do you feel after the meeting is over?"

Chairman Choi saw the sincerity on Zi Peng's face and praised:

"I think it's okay, because you're new here and you're doing it for the first time. To be able to do this is not easy. "

Hearing Chairman Choi's words, a heavy weight in Zi Peng's heart fell to the ground. He continued with Chairman Choi's words:

"Chairman Choi, during the meeting, I didn't have any confidence, I was just afraid that the Leader would pick out something wrong."

Seeing how modest Zi Peng was, the Chairman Choi had a deeper impression of him. After hearing what Zi Peng said, he said,

"I feel very good, and plant leader is also very satisfied with your work. I didn't think it was going to turn out that way. But through practice, it's much better than what I thought it was. "

When Zi Peng heard Chairman Choi's words, he finally heaved a sigh of relief …
