Red Maple Leaf in October,

Going out to Tianjin City;

Visit Beijing's scenic spot,

In the memorial hall.

On September 13, Zi Peng officially went to work in refractory plant's Building Materials Workshop. The assignment given to him by Car director was: Inverted Wood.

This pile of wood was thick and thin. Because they had to pour the red brick onto the ground. Therefore, the wood needed to be dumped in another place.

Only Zi Peng worked here, and no one else worked with him. Since he was not a lazy person, he worked especially hard. He was always afraid that he would do too little and let others gossip.

After a week of odd jobs like this, he finally managed to knock over a pile of wood. Thus, the red bricks that had just left the kiln were placed continuously at the place where the wood used to be …

In the blink of an eye, it was already 10%. The temperature had dropped in this weather, and the howling wind was getting stronger and stronger. On October 3, Car director Wang Zhansheng saw Zi Peng finish one job after another. He felt very satisfied and excited in his heart. At this moment, he was not going to arrange work for Zi Peng and instead wanted him to go to kiln door.

kiln door's work, was a very hard and dirty work. This kind of work was done by temporary workers hired by other people, but Wang Zhansheng had to let this person, who had helped him before join the Party and did his best, do it by this person who had worked with him before. It would have been nice if the weather had been warm, but it was cold now, and besides, water and mud had to be used to wipe the walls of the kiln door. Zi Peng had never done this before, so his body and face were covered in mud. It looked like it had just come out of a pile of mud. Not only was Zi Peng embarrassed, he was also ashamed to see others. Even if others were to see this, they would feel sorry for him. They all cried out for Zi Peng; they all said that how could Wang Zhansheng arrange Zi Peng to do this kind of work?

Wang Zhansheng letting Zi Peng do this kind of work, was obviously suppressing him; it was clearly humiliating him; it was clearly taking revenge on him; it was clearly tormenting him; it was obviously making fun of him.

But no matter how he thought about it, Zi Peng just couldn't understand it. He felt that he had never offended Wang Zhansheng before. Why would he let Wang Zhansheng down? When Wang Zhansheng joined the Party, Zi Peng did his best for him. As a result, they were able to be adopted as reserve members when the three teams were on the verge of disintegration.

Zi Peng did this kind of work for five days straight. His hands were cracked and frozen; his body was covered in yellow mud. Because of the many cuts on his hands, he felt as painful as if he had been cut by a knife when he first touched the water.

On the afternoon of October 8th, refractory plant was inspecting the construction materials workshop. He saw that Zi Peng's body was covered in mud; he saw that his hands were full of wounds; he saw how Zi Peng looked like. His heart was filled with indignation, and he found Wang Zhansheng to interrogate him sternly:

”Wang Zhansheng, you're still a Communist? And you're a Car director? How could he let a public contract worker do this kind of work? There are a lot of temporary workers out there. Why don't you let them do it? ”

At the moment, Wang Zhansheng was in front of the kiln area checking on the progress of the kiln area and the kiln area. When the workers heard the organization's propaganda department's questioning, they stopped. In a short moment, they had surrounded a large group of people. When Wang Zhansheng heard Minister Gao's questioning and criticism, his face flushed red. Looking back at those who were looking at him with strange gazes, he felt a really bad feeling in his heart. He is a dignified Car director! How could he stand being criticized like that? However, the person who criticized him was the organization's Minister of Propaganda, who was the head of his organization in the refractory plant. Moreover, what he had done was too unreasonable. He had gone too far, and it was truly unacceptable. At this moment, he couldn't care about his own face. With an obsequious smile on his face, he said to the Minister Gao:

”Minister Gao, this is temporary. Because Zi Peng had just arrived, there was currently no suitable job arrangement. ”Therefore, let him work for a few days first.”

Minister Gao viewed Wang Zhansheng's actions with contempt. He never would have thought that he would use such a despicable method to deal with Zi Peng, who was once his superior. When he thought here, he angrily said:

”Comrade Wang Zhansheng, Comrade Zi Peng is someone with talent and skill. He used to be your Secretary of Branch, but now he's a contract worker. From tomorrow on, you'll keep him in the office and read the newspaper. Don't let him do this kind of work again. I will go back to inform the secretary and the plant director that within two or three days, I will be going with him to Tianjin to do some external affairs. ”

After Minister Gao finished speaking, he flung his sleeves and angrily walked out of the building materials workshop.

When Wang Zhansheng heard this, he felt that he had done too much. Thus, he had to inform Zi Peng that from tomorrow onwards, he would no longer be kiln door. Zi Peng was also released because of the arrival of the Minister Gao …

On the morning of October 11th, Minister Gao He had just arrived at the building materials workshop. He said to Zi Peng,

”Old Wang, go back home and prepare. We will take the 108 trains tonight to Tianjin to get a foreign exchange with me.” We'll meet in the waiting room at the old station at seven o'clock in the evening. ”

Hearing Minister Gao say that he wanted to go with him to Tianjin for a foreign exchange tonight, Zi Peng felt a burst of excitement in his heart. He smiled and said to Minister Gao:
