”Actually, I wanted to have Zi Peng come to the village a long time ago. Because he was fair in his ways and was a kind man. How could Cui Renyi not fall to the ground? In the end, he left because he could not unite. Otherwise, why wouldn't he leave? The Secretary Wang was a person with culture and ability. It was most suitable for him to be the Secretary of Branch. With the arrival of the Secretary Wang, our group now have a backbone. ” Wang Zipeng took over the man from the Village Head Deng and said:

”Village Head Deng, you are flattering me. How could I, Wang Zipeng, be worthy of your praise? This is merely the trust that the members of the Party and the committee have for me. If I want to do a good job, I'll have to rely on my comrades sitting around, don't you think? ” Wang Chang swallowed a mouthful of food and said:

”I know the level of the Old Wang. When the sixth team captain was established, there was no one who wasn't convinced. Also, that year, the whole party, your speech at the party meeting in the whole village, shocked the whole hall. When he spoke, the meeting was completely silent. After he finished, he won a round of applause. I was very touched. With your strength, this Secretary of Branch will definitely be able to do it. ” Qing Zhen and Cao Guoli also agreed, ”There are inner disciples in Secretary Wang, they are stronger than us.”

After lunch, the five of them returned to the village. Just then, the Village Head Deng Chunming delivered the Party work that Cui Renyi had handed over to him. He pointed at the material and said,

”Secretary Wang, don't be in such a hurry. Get used to it slowly. We'll stop here for today. Go home and take care of your family matters, then come back to work tomorrow. ” Zi Peng looked at the Party work materials and said,

”Alright, then I'll go back first. I really have some things to take care of at home, see you tomorrow.”

With that, Wang Zipeng placed the ingredients inside the cabinet, left the Village Branch, and walked on the mountain path home. At this moment, Wang Zipeng's thoughts were not as calm as the tide. Life was changing like a play: yesterday, a farmer facing the sky, a member of the Communist Party, after a night, he became a leader of the Party; he became a leader of the Taoyuan Village, it was unbelievable that he would become a leader of the Party. He even wondered yesterday what would happen during the election. Would so many Party members approve him as a secretary? But today, through the General Assembly elections, everything has become a reality. And it was real, not the least bit false. Was he really qualified to do this or was it fate's arrangement? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the situation had happened too suddenly. The change of the night was too dramatic. He had to find an answer for the night's changes. And what was the answer? No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of any reason. Afterwards, he decided to stop thinking about it and walked home with large strides …

The sun shone down on Wang Zipeng's body at around one in the afternoon. He felt warm; the branches on the trees melted; the snow on the ground started to melt. Probably, this was the feeling of early spring.

After returning home, the two elders came over to Zi Peng in concern. ”Zi Peng, did you choose the secretary position today?”

”Mother, master. As soon as I left today, the election started. 33 members of the Party participated in the meeting, 32 voted for me and I voted for someone else. If I had voted for myself, I would have had a full vote. ” The old man was smoking on the side as he said,

”That kid, Zi Peng, I've already said he's promising. It's not easy to be the captain for more than 20 years!” Now that you have become a secretary, you have to do your best and do your best to show those who have bullied you before. Wang Zipeng was not a coward, he was stronger than those who have sat on the ground. Child, the old man is old and can't help you much. I have something I want to tell you: Once you're a secretary, you must be fair and just. Just catch the Taoyuan Village properly, I don't believe he will always be so poor. ”

”Uncle is right. Although I have just taken over, there are many things that I am not familiar with. But, I am very relieved. With Deng Chunming and Wang Chang here to help me, I am not afraid of anything. I promise I will do my job well. Elder, mother, don't worry, Zi Peng won't lose face for you. ”

”That's good, that's good! ”You've been tired for almost a day. Hurry up and go to sleep. Tomorrow, you still have to go to work?” The old man sighed with emotion.

The uncle and mother walked away. Wang Zipeng lied on the kang's bed, trying to sleep and recuperate. Do you think it's strange? The more you want to sleep, the less you'll be able to sleep. He could not understand these sudden changes. Why would something so lucky land on me? Why did 32 Party members vote for me? Was this heaven's will? Amongst the entire village's 35 members, there were no less than 10 new high school students. In terms of education, they are all better than me, so why isn't the position of the Secretary of Branch on their shoulders?

Zi Peng thought of this and stood up. He went to the kitchen. Was it busy cooking? His mother was washing the vegetables, his wife was cutting the vegetables, and his eldest daughter, Cheng Hua, was cooking. When Zi Peng saw this bustling scene, he couldn't help but ask.

”Mom, it's just New Year's Eve, why are you stir-frying so many dishes?” Mother said:

”Child, mother thought, it is also a good thing that you have become the secretary of the brigade. Therefore, we should celebrate. ” Zi Peng silently said in his heart:

”Why didn't I think of that? ”Mother is still the most considerate one.”

About four o'clock, the meal was ready. Family sat around the table. Zi Peng looked at the table. He! There were fried pork ribs, chicken stewed with mushrooms, fried leek with squid, fried garlic with pork meat, pork liver, pig's feet … A total of ten dishes. Zi Peng poured a glass of white wine for the old man, a glass of champagne for his mother, and another glass for himself. Zi Peng raised his cup and said happily:

”Great sir, mother, today your son was elected as Secretary of Branch. No matter what, size is of utmost importance. For me to have this day, it is all thanks to your guidance. If I hadn't been allowed to go to school when I was a child, I probably wouldn't be here today. You've suffered for the rest of your life, and you'll never be able to repay me for raising you. Today can also be considered a day of great joy. I toast to you two old people. As long as they had feelings, anything they drank was wine. ”Here, cheers.” He raised his head and drank a glass of champagne. His mother took a sip and the old man took a big swig of white wine. The old man put down his wine cup and said:

”This child Zi Peng is both filial and sensible, what is he doing with his dexterous hands, don't blame this child for being able to become the Secretary of Branch. I thought he was a good material, but now he's come in handy? ” Mother continued:

”Zi Peng has been obedient since he was young. I've always relied on him for the help of the other three brothers.” It's not convenient for me to go to anyone's house, but this is my home. Today, Zi Peng chose the Secretary of the Party Branch, and I am happy for him. In any case, I let him go to school for a few years when he was young. Although I am frugal and have a broken waist, in retrospect, it is still worth it. If he doesn't have any culture, forget about being a secretary, even being a captain would make him blind. I would really be happy for him! ” At this time, the eldest daughter, Cheng Hua, stood up with a soda in his hand and said:

”Father, let me toast you and congratulate father on becoming the Secretary of the Party Branch of Taoyuan Village!” Her second daughter, Tsinghua and Third daughter Yu Hua also raised their cups and said at the same time: ”Father, let us toast to you. It is our family's honor to have you be the secretary.

When Zi Peng saw that his three daughters had all raised their cups to congratulate his father, he felt very happy. Thus, he said:

”Thank you. Come, let's toast!” He drank another glass of champagne, and the three girls had their own glass of soda. Everyone put down their glasses and picked up their rice bowls. Thus, this sumptuous dinner came to an end under the Family's joyous atmosphere.

Just then, Wang Zipeng walked out of the house after eating his fill. He saw that the sky had already darkened, and the stars in the sky were constantly blinking at him. As if he was saying to him, ”Congratulations, Wang Zipeng. Congratulations on becoming Secretary of Branch …”

Although it had already been spring for a few days, the chill at night was still bone-piercing. Zi Peng was sweating profusely during dinner. He stood outside the door for only 5 minutes before he felt a chill on his back. So he hurried home. The temperature inside the house was very high. There was a stove and a big pot. There was a lot of fire. The house was very warm because of the brick bed.

Zi Peng watched the television for a while. It was already past 8 o'clock. He felt a little sleepy. So he got up and went to bed. Strangely, when he was watching TV, the eyelids of his eyes started to twitch. However, when he was about to fall asleep, he started to roll around, unable to fall asleep. Closing his eyes, the events of the day unfolded before him. He was unable to chase them away or shake them off. He didn't want to repeat the story of the day. He needed a good rest. So he got up, got dressed, and went down to the floor. He found two sleeping pills in the drawer and took them. Then, he lay back down and silently counted in his mind: 1, 2, 3, 4 … When he reached 800 something, he fell asleep without realizing it.

When Zi Peng woke up, it was already 6 in the morning. He put on his clothes and cleaned himself up. He didn't eat breakfast and instead took his bicycle to work. The weather was very cold, and Zi Peng was wrapped around his neck, so he didn't feel warm. The cold wind was blowing right into his face, as if he was being cut by a knife, but he didn't mind. The mountain road rides a bicycle, pushing half to ride half. When you go uphill, push your way up. You can only ride when you go down the hill. He gave the cycling method an equation called ”two plus five.”

Zi Peng was thinking about something as he walked. He had a vague feeling in his heart that an invisible pressure was bothering him. The job of the secretary of the Village Branch was not that easy to do. It would take time and perseverance to overcome the difficulties; it would take wisdom and hard work to solve the problems; it would take the joint efforts of the members of the branch committee to accomplish the tasks entrusted to them. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get to work, familiarize himself with the Party work handed over by the former secretary, and humbly ask the village head and the Deputy village chief to finish the work as quickly as possible, in a short period of time. get yourself into a role early; get yourself into a position to work independently early...

Zi Peng thought as he walked. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the top of the mountain. He could ride a bicycle when he got down from the mountain, but the slope of the mountain was very steep. He needed to concentrate his mind and focus his mind, and he couldn't be careless or lose his focus. In the blink of an eye, he was already old enough, so he headed towards a relatively flat road. Not long after, he arrived at Taoyuan Village Party Branch. He pushed the bike into the yard and set it down in a corner. It was only seven o'clock when he looked at his watch. Right now, the people from work hadn't arrived yet, so he was the first to arrive. At this time, Gengfu came over and greeted him.

”Secretary Wang, you came really early! They work at 7: 30. ”You are responding to that sentence, 'The faraway ones will come first'.” After greeting the Gengfu, Zi Peng walked into his office. He took out the Party work he had transferred yesterday and looked at it from the beginning. There is a list of the basic conditions of the members of the village; there is an area divided by the Party Group; there is a list of contacts among the members; there is a file of activists; there is a list of key objects for development; there is a curriculum vitae for the members of the subsidiary committee; and there is also the 1987 ”Index of the Party Work Examination” issued by the Rural Party Committee. In short, everything...

While Zi Peng was watching excitedly, Village Head Deng Chunming pushed open the door and entered. Chun Ming said:

”Secretary Wang, you came really early.”

”I just arrived not too long ago, you're not too late either.” After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Chunming added:

”Secretary Wang, take a look at these materials first. Don't worry, take your time. No one can eat a fatty in one bite.

”Village Head Deng, you are right. However, I want to get familiar with my work as soon as possible, get into the role, and also share some work for you guys. After saying that, the two of them smiled.

At this time, the Vice Village Chief Wang also arrived, and as soon as they entered the door, they said:

”Secretary Wang, on the first day you came to work, you gave us a good example. ”Chun Ming, we have to learn from him!” After saying that, he burst out laughing.

While they were talking, all the members of the Taoyuan Village were gathered. Village Head Deng Chunming looked at everyone and said:

”Secretary Wang, let's hold a branch committee expansion today to recruit people from the Village committees. The first is to congratulate the new Secretary of the Party Branch of our village. Everyone should get to know each other. Zi Peng took over Chunming's conversation and said,

”Village Head Deng is too polite, there's no need to introduce me. Everyone knows me. I agree with Village Head Deng's suggestion, and will arrange the current work of Taoyuan Village for you. ”
