C37 (2/2)

My name is Wang Zipeng, a farmer from the Sixth production team. He became a Secretary of the Party Branch on 6 February 1987. For more than two years, I've been walking from team six to work. The six squads were about five kilometers away from Taoyuan Village, which was why it was inconvenient. For the above reasons, I would like to ask you to do me a favor: to transfer the hukou from the six teams to the three teams in Taoyuan. Thus, I bought a house in Taoyuan. As I got closer to work, my Third daughter's Sixteenth High School also drew near. Old mother also had more time to take care of.

I know very well that there is no reason for me to have no relationship with Mayor Liu and that I have lived a pure and simple life. Therefore, you can help me with this matter, but you can also help me with this matter. However, we are Liu Enbo from production team, and his father is called Liu Cheng Zhang, his family account has now been transferred to Team Three. I asked Liu Enbo about this. He said that his uncle, Liu Chengda, was a classmate of the mayor. Once, on the train to Siping, Liu Chengda met you and brought up this matter. You said yes, and it was done in two months.

For this reason, I thought: Although I do not know your Mayor Liu, Liu Enbo is my villager. You have a lot of people, since you helped Liu Chengzhang get an account, I would like to ask you, Mr. Mayor, to help me. This matter is harder for me than it is for me, and it is a simple matter for you. Alright, I won't say anymore. I'll wait for your beautiful voice. Thank you!

Zi Peng put the letter into an envelope and stamped it. When he went to work the next morning, he put it in the letterbox and left. Unexpectedly, two months later, on January 10, 1989, the letter to Mayor Liu was delivered to the Secretary of District Committee. In the upper corner of the envelope was written: ”Read by the Secretary of the Column.”

Secretary Wang opened the letter and saw that it was written by Wang Zipeng for Mayor Liu. After he read it once, he hurriedly called for the Party Committee Secretary Ding. Seeing the Secretary Ding, the Secretary Wang said:

”What do you think Little Wang is doing?” I have been helping him with his account all this time. He even wrote a letter to the Mayor Liu.

The Secretary Ding didn't say anything. He only picked up the letter, and read through it once through, then said to the Secretary Wang:

”Secretary Wang, I will handle this matter. I must severely criticize Little Wang to let him know the seriousness of the situation. ”

On the second day, 11 January, Secretary Ding came to Taoyuan Village and locked Wang Zipeng in his office to fiercely criticize him. Finally, the Secretary Ding said:

”Zi Peng, Secretary Wang and I are both working on your matter, how can you write to Mayor Liu again? This time, he was in big trouble. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete the task he should be doing now. You walked the blisters on your feet. ” After listening to Secretary Ding's words, Zi Peng explained:

”Secretary Ding, at that time I did not think too much into it. I only know that Liu Enbo's account was set up by Mayor Liu. ”As such, I wish to seek your help, Mayor Liu, for no other reason,”

Another three months had passed, and today was April 12th. Zi Peng's account had been set up. Zi Peng thought: Is this true? I'm not dreaming. But he saw his name on the migration certificate, and it was true. He had even sealed the ”Tonghua City's Public Security Bureau” with a bright red official seal. Only then did he believe it to be true.

Zi Peng thought: The household registration has been completed, this is the credit of Secretary Ding and myself; the letter I wrote to Mayor Liu must have had an effect. Otherwise, why didn't they send any messages over a year ago, and only sent a letter to the Mayor Liu five months ago before it became a reality? Inside, the Mayor Liu played a part. Zi Peng held the certificate of migration and said as if he had obtained a precious treasure:

”Yes, I have. I'll be treating you to lunch today. My account's been set up, let's celebrate.”

At noon, Zi Peng ordered a table of food and wine at the Grand Hotel of Mingshan. He gathered all the village officials and shared this joy with him …

At this point, Zipeng's family of six had eaten the food and received 12 catties of flour, 18 catties of rice and 2.4 catties of soy oil per month. Zi Peng's mother was also happy.

Zi Peng was extremely excited when he received the letter from Lixia. Lixia expressed her heartfelt feelings to him to the fullest. Thus, on the evening of April 13, he wrote her a reply.

On April 14th, Zi Peng sent a letter to Lixia with the excuse of going to ginseng field. He was also happy to see her.

2 in the afternoon, Zi Peng arrived at Lixia's home. At this moment, she was at home choosing a bean seed. Seeing that Zi Peng had arrived, she was overjoyed. She poured him a cup of hot water and he took it and put it on the table and, seeing no one else in the house, he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. Before he left, he gave her the letter. After she saw him off, she couldn't wait to open his letter and read it carefully. The letter read as follows:
