When Chun Ming heard Zi Peng's declaration, he could only agree:
”Since the Secretary Wang has decided, the three of us will follow your advice.”
When Editor-in-Chief Wang saw the four of them acting so bashful, he couldn't help but find it funny. He said with great sincerity:
”What's the trouble with a quick meal?” ”Let's go, I'll send you guys to the cafeteria first, then I'll go find the two of them.”
The Editor-in-Chief Wang walked out after he finished speaking. Thus, the Editor-in-Chief Wang led Zi Peng and the other two into the Tonghua Daily's dining hall and found a room. Let them in. He also told the person in charge of the cafeteria to prepare a table of better dishes. Afterwards, he went to find Liang Jinghua and Yao Feng Xin.
Not long later, Editor-in-Chief Wang brought three people. One was Chairman Yao, the other was Editor Liang, and the other one was someone he did not know. Editor-in-Chief Wang invited them to sit, then introduced them to this stranger. His name was Qiao Guanglu and he was the editor of the Sunday edition. After that, Zi Peng introduced the three from Taoyuan Village to Qiao Guang Lu and shook hands as they sat down.
They drank tea and chatted for a while until two waitresses brought up the dishes: the chicken, the fish, the beef, the red-braised pork ribs, and a few vegetables. There were a total of ten dishes and they were very sumptuous. There were also two bottles of white wine and two bottles of brandy and wine.
When the Editor-in-Chief Wang was pouring wine for them, Zi Peng said:
”Editor-in-Chief Wang, the comrades we have brought here can't even drink white spirits. We can have a glass of wine each.”
Editor-in-Chief Wang did not make things difficult for them. He, Qiao Guang Lu, Yao Feng and the others were drinking white wine, while the rest were drinking wine. After filling the cup to the brim, Editor-in-Chief Wang raised his wine cup and stood up as he said:
”Today, I am fortunate to be together with the leader of Taoyuan Village. I am very happy. Since we know each other, we will be friends from now on. I hope that you will provide more valuable advice on our work and support it. Especially Comrade Zi Peng. As usual, he had to write a good manuscript to support the work of the newspaper. Come on, I suggested, let's have a drink. As long as they had feelings, anything they drank was wine! ”I'll do it first as a form of respect.”
With that, he drained a glass of white wine. At this moment, Zi Peng raised his wine cup and stood up.
”On behalf of the Taoyuan Village, I thank the leaders of the newspapers for their hospitality, support and encouragement. I will live up to your expectations of me in the future. I'll lend you your wine and have a toast as well. I hope that we will get closer and communicate with each other in the future. ”Come, cheers!” As he said this, he drank a glass of wine in one gulp as well …

On April 16, Tonghua Daily 3 released a human report:
Kindness, kindness, good work and family
Honorable Mother, everyone praises you
The matter of Liu Lianzhi showing her filial piety to her mother-in-law was spread around the village like wildfire.
Liu Lianzhi was a woman from the sixth village in Erdao District. She was forty-two years old. She hadn't blushed with her mother-in-law since the wedding. She did all the dirty work, and her mother-in-law's clothes were dirty, and Lian Zhi rushed to wash them; her mother-in-law's bedding was old, and Lian Zhi fought to break them down; Lian Zhi served her when she was sick; she served her food, water, soup, and medicine, and tried to make her mother-in-law something delicious. Last spring, Grandma's ankle was bitten by a dog, in the eyes of Lian Zhi, pain in the heart, everywhere for Grandma to find medicine. Under her care, her mother-in-law's wounds were quickly healed.
Every winter, Liu Lianzhi would burn Grandma's brick bed until it was hot enough for Granny to sleep on it.
Now, Liu Lianzhi's mother-in-law was living in her new room. At night, she was watching TV, listening to the radio during the day. When meeting someone, she would say, ”For me to be able to live such a good life, it was all thanks to this good wife of mine, Liu Lianzhi!” Wang Zipeng)
On May 12, the Jilin Farmers' Newspaper 2 published a piece of news:
A General Assembly of the Basic Militia ”Assembling Point” was held in the Erdaojiang Township
On the eve of the thirtieth anniversary of the ”Three Fulfillments” of the militia work proposed by the Chairman Mao, a meeting of the ”Assemblage Point” of the basic militia was held on 4 May in the Tonghua City's rural barracks.
The congress was presided over by the Rural Party Committee, Tong Guijun. Comrade Wang Peng, the battalion commander of the militia, had conducted a roll call examination among the six militia companies under the command of the whole battalion. None of the 320 militia members were absent. ”The base militia is organized and mighty and handsome.” After the examination at the assembly point, Comrade Wang Xuanzhong, the secretary of the Rural Party Committee, taught the six militia ”company flags”. Militia participating in the ”assembly point inspection” said: ”In the future, we should continue to do a good job on the” three implementation ”of the militia, and actively do a good job on technology enrichment activities, so as to let the militia play a demonstration and pioneering role in the development of the rural economy.” Wang Zipeng)
On May 23, the Tonghua Daily, 3rd Edition, released a message:
The work of publicity and reporting should be emphasized in Erdaojiang township
Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee paid attention to the work of publicity and reporting in his hometown. In April of last year, Rural Party Committee hired people from the city's radio station and newspaper, and organized a correspondent's reporting course. After that, the Party committee assigned reporting tasks to the Village Party Branch, formulated rewards and punishments, and greatly motivated the correspondents to write their reports. By the end of 1991, 225 manuscripts were used throughout the village; 20 provincial; 101 municipal; and 104 district. In the evaluation of four townships and towns in the whole district, the propaganda work of the township of Erdaojiang won the first place in the whole district. Wang Zipeng Guo Guiying)
Zi Peng looked at these pieces of tofu essays, his thoughts fluctuated and he was filled with emotions. He had not thought that he was a farmer's correspondent, so valued by the district and township leaders, so favored by the city radio, the newspaper, and the Jilin Peasant Newspaper. He has published five works in the Jilin Farmer since the end of May last year, when he published his first article, ”Workers and farmers work hand in hand to build fruits”. He and the editor of the Jilin Peasant News had no relatives or friends, so why did he keep getting involved? Did he write a good manuscript, or was it a coincidence? He was really a monk — he could not make heads or tails of it.
In any case, high or low, his hard work had paid off; his penny-pinching sweat had not gone to waste.
What moved him was the fact that generalization's People's Radio Station's script had already reached 98. What moved him even more was that the chief editor and the leaders of the various districts and townships were able to painstakingly visit him in this remote valley.
Editor-in-Chief Wang was also a 60-odd year old man, did he not know that he was old? Didn't he know that he was suffering and suffering in the countryside? Why was he so stubborn? He had never met the Editor-in-Chief Wang in his life, nor was there any reason for him to be close to him. Wasn't he doing this to train a promising correspondent? Wasn't it to encourage an ambitious correspondent? Wasn't it to better publicize the good and the good, and to publicize the Party's policy and policies? Wasn't it because of the revival of the newspapers? Because of this, he felt even more reverence and admiration for the Editor-in-Chief Wang …
