Spring in the clear season, Spring in the middle of spring,
Forest protection is the center;
Afforestation shall not be delayed,
Beautification of the environment.
April 5th was the annual Qingming Festival. On this day, the sun was high in the sky, without a single cloud in sight. It is not only an important season for forest protection and fire protection, but also the best time for afforestation.
In the early morning of the 5th, Secretary of the Party Branch of Taoyuan Village, Village Head Deng Chunming, Vice Village Chief Wang had Cao Guoli, the medical director, and two comrades who were working in the forestry station in the village.
On the seven lines of transportation — turret seed on duty.
On the slope of the turret seed, there was a messy graveyard. Every new year, people come to burn paper and incense for the dead. However, the first of October in the lunar calendar and the Qing Ming Festival are the two days of fire and martial law. Those who go to the grave are not allowed to burn paper. This was a clear rule from the center to the place. To that end, on 1 April, the Taoyuan Village also posted large words and a promotional slogan.
Zi Peng's group of six arrived at this major road from 4 am. Anyone who went to the grave must leave behind the fire. Otherwise, they were not allowed to enter the mountain. In the past few years, there have been too many fires caused by the paper being burned on the grave. In 1987, when the Two of Taoyuan laughed, the paper being burned on the grave during the Qing Ming Festival caused a huge fire, burning an area of 200 mu. In 1988, the tombs being burned on the Peking University Seedling Festival caused a mountain fire, burning an area of over 300 mu; and in 1989, the turret seed grassland was burned on the tombs during the Qing Ming Festival, burning an area of over 600 mu. These painful lessons could not be avoided; the leaders of the Taoyuan Village could not lower their guard; and the regional and township leaders and forestry workstations had to pay attention to them. Therefore, the whole township, village, on the day of the Ching Ming Festival, the task of fire prevention is difficult, is the most important, is not to be careless.
To this end, the two main leaders of Wang Jianzhu Secretary of the District Committee and The Party Secretary of the Township Ding Xichun came to inspect the fire prevention work at 8 o'clock in the morning. After they got out of the car, they shook hands with Zi Peng and the other three brothers. Secretary Wang was very satisfied with what he saw and told him:
”Zi Peng, Chun Ming, you've worked hard today.” ”We must put a good end to this; we must not let anything happen today; we must be vigilant; we must not let our guard down; we must not let our guard down.”
Hearing Secretary Wang's words, the Secretary Ding continued to speak:
”Zi Peng, Chunming, Tao Yuan is the most important place in the whole district, the whole village. Please don't start another fire today.” Last year's fire burned more than 600 mu of mountain fields, almost burning your ginseng field down. If there is another fire today, neither of us will be able to explain ourselves. We must be on high alert and stay here to watch and guard this place. ”
After the two clerks had finished, they got into the car and went to another village to inspect it. Zi Peng's group of six was arranged on three main roads, with two people at each entrance.
On the day of the Qing Ming Festival, most of the people who went to the grave knew not to burn paper, so they simply took a shovel without paper, even adding a bit of dirt was a great act of filial piety; but a few, by chance, took both the fire and the paper. If you can't find the check, burn the paper. If you can't find the check, hand over the fire. There are plenty of people like this.
Zi Peng and the other three didn't eat until noon. They ate together for breakfast and lunch. In the afternoon, there were fewer people going to the grave and they relaxed a lot. They didn't dare to neglect this responsibility in the slightest. In the evening, there was no one left to go to the grave, and the six of them dutifully completed their fire duties for the day. No fire, just achievement, just victory.
In the evening, District Committee and Party Committee Secretary Ding came to visit them again. Highly appraised for their responsible work attitude.
April is the best time for afforestation. From 6 to 17 April, Taoyuan Village planted trees continuously for 12 days. A total of 1980 mu of afforestation was completed, of which 6,000 trees were planted by roadside and 100 mu were planted by engineering.
From April 7 to 8, the Party branch launched the whole village to plant trees on both sides of the Country roads. A total of 30 participants, each digging 30 holes, planting 30 trees;
Seven teams of farmers came out with compulsory labor to plant trees. Every labourer dug 50 pits and planted 50 trees. These two could be used to complete 4,500 plants, while the remaining 1,500 could be used by the Village cadres. From the 6th to 17th, in 12 days, a 6.7 km long Country roads was planted with poplar trees on both sides. During this time, the district and township leaders would come to inspect it every three days. As a result, both the progress of the project and the quality of the project have been greatly improved.
On the 17th day, at noon, Zi Peng returned home to eat lunch, and coincidentally met the little sister Yu Lixia that he had been yearning for day and night. The reason she came down to sell eggs today was also because she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to see the one she loved. In addition, she wrote him a letter to give him. When she reached the place where the trees were planted, she saw that there were too many people to greet him, much less write to him. So she thought: I'll go down and sell the eggs first, and then I'll look for him on the way back.
At noon, Zi Peng walked back home from work, while Lixia walked back to the sixth team. So they met on the road. Zi Peng was both surprised and happy to see her. He hastily went up to greet her,
”Sister, when did you come down? Why didn't I see you walk over here?”
Lixia looked at Zi Peng with her soulful eyes and said,
”Bro, I've missed you so much these past few days. I wrote you a letter yesterday, and came down today to sell eggs as an excuse to give you the letter and see you. But when I came in the morning, there were too many people here to look for you. I thought I'd go down and sell the eggs, then come back and give you the letter. You don't say, but it's really a coincidence. Being able to see my brother here, I didn't come here for nothing. ”
After she finished speaking, she handed the letter to Zi Peng. Because there were too many people on the road, it was inconvenient for them to talk for long. So he went home to dinner and she went back to Team Six.
Zi Peng finished his lunch and went to the tree planting location early. At this moment, the others had yet to arrive. Thus, he found a place to sit down and eagerly opened her letter, reading it carefully.
Big brother, I miss you all the time. Hello:
Ever since I received your letter on March 29th, this little sister has not been able to reply to you. little sister has read my brother's letter several times. After I finished reading it, I was moved to tears. In my letter, I recall our past with passionate verses. It brought me back to that wonderful moment of happiness; it stirred my heart so much that I could not calm it for a long time. Especially in the poem, my brother praised me as kind, gentle and virtuous; comparing me to a peony flower, it made me feel even more flattered.
Big brother, actually, I'm not as good as you say. You forget, I have hurt you many times in the letter, made you sad, made you cry, made you suffer. little sister will never forget this. I also hope that my good brother will forgive me and take responsibility for me.
My good brother, I have an idea that I would like to discuss with you. The 28th of April is just around the corner, and this is our third anniversary. I thought: My family must advance the planting this year. Listen to my husband, 'Open the plow on April 28.' So, I don't have time to go out with my brother, you will suffer if you can't see me, I will suffer if I don't go. So, I want to get this memorable day ahead of time, don't you think?
I plan to go back to Guanghua on April 21, visit my father, and come back on April 23. If you have the time, wait for me at the New Station Passenger Station at 9: 30 AM on April 21st. Also, meet me at the New Station Passenger Station at 10: 00 am on April 23. If you can't make a move, let me know in advance so I won't wait there.
Dear brother, these days, I think you think too much pain, night can't sleep, day can't think of tea, simply like a fool, fool. Brother, I wonder how you've been these days? Let's talk about this first.
Wishing big brother a smooth work, good health!
This to
Salute
Your sweetheart
afternoon grass of 16 April 1990
After Zi Peng finished reading the letter, his excited heart couldn't calm down for a long time. She missed him all the time, and he was happy, happy, happy, and happy to have such a sensible, reasonable, and good sister. She had not written for more than twenty days, and her longing for him was uncontrollable. In order to not disappoint him on his 28th April date, she told him all of her thoughts and invited him to meet her at New Station on 21st April. She also invited him to escort her back to the New Station on 23rd April. How could he not be moved by this affection and concern? As a result, his eyes filled with tears again.
He thought: Her concern for me, her consideration for me, her longing for me, her love for me, how much better than a real couple. I also feel honored and proud to have such a loved one in love with me.
Then he wondered: Had her husband discovered the secret of my going out with her on the 28th of April every year? Otherwise, why should the spring plow be ahead of time? Why was it the 28th? If her husband were to discover this secret, then from today onwards, he would be even more wary of her. Her husband had only heard some talk about me and her, but it was talk. Her husband had not yet grasped the real facts; his suspicion of us, his wariness of us, our extraordinary intimacy, could not be ignored. But there was no evidence, so it was possible to plant land on April 28 to stop and stop my date with her; to break up and destroy my date with her.
No, he thought, I've been to her house many times, and her husband and I are very enthusiastic. What difference does it make on the surface? Even if someone were to gossip about her and me in front of her husband, there would still have to be proof that we couldn't listen to what was being said. Besides, I dined with her husband, played mahjong with him, played chess with him, and sometimes helped with the stack of firewood. If he was really suspicious and cautious, how could he be so polite to me? Furthermore, I couldn't tell from her mouth that her husband had a different opinion of me. In that case, it was my fault for blaming her husband, my unwarranted suspicion...
When he thought of this, he felt much more relaxed.
In the middle of April, when the sun was high and warm, a few white clouds were moving from north to south in the blue sky; the fields were alive and the Farmers was busy growing vegetables and overturning the ground.
April 21st, 9: 30 AM. Zi Peng punctually appeared at New Station's passenger station. Lisa arrived a moment before him, and hurried to meet him as he came in. After greeting him, they left the station and walked towards the embankment of the river.
Due to the warm weather, there were many cars and pedestrians on the riverbank. This was the place where he and she had always been; this was the place where he and she had often chatted; this was the place where he and she had always been close and friendly. He walked on the riverbank with her slowly and shoulder to shoulder as they headed towards Changbai Mountain Theater.
”Sister,” Zi Peng and Lixia chatted as they walked, ”It's the 28th of April, why did it change to today? Is your husband beginning to suspect us? ”
