Rebirth: 1977

When the crackdown document was circulated across the country, what Ye Tianshui did not expect was that on July 5, it was his father-in-law Hua Guoxing who received an order from his superiors and rushed to Tangshan to carry out the mission.

In his previous life, Ye Tianshui learned about the process of this incident through the radio loudspeakers, television and newspapers of later generations.

At that time, he and his colleagues worked on the construction site, working hard and doing their job conscientiously. They were exhausted after get off work and had no chance to interact with young people in society.

Even when there were executions or trials, he was not interested in joining in the fun.

Similarly, in the eyes of young people in society, this group of people have plenty of energy and are strong, but they are extremely poor. Under normal circumstances, the two sides do not interfere with each other and have never had any conflicts with each other.

The words "severe crackdown" seemed very far away from Ye Tianshui at that time.

How could he have known that after being reborn, he would witness with his own eyes the first crackdown, which lasted for three years, unfolding in full swing.

The documents were revised and compiled by him, and my father-in-law was among the first group of soldiers who were ordered to fight against the evil gangs as if they were rushing to the battlefield.

From the time Hua Guoxing received the order to the time he left Beijing for Tangshan, he did not have time to go home and say goodbye to his family. He just hurriedly called back to give a brief message.

Ye Yiling and Hua Zilan are both retired soldiers. It is common for them to pack up their backpacks and set off like this.

Instead, Ye Tianshui was stunned for a while after hearing it.

He really didn't expect that it would be his father-in-law's turn to lead the troops to assist the public security.

Logically speaking, a cadre of Hua Guoxing's level does not need to personally take part in such matters.

If there was no instruction from above, he could have simply ordered his subordinates to lead the team.

Ye Tianshui and Tang Chusheng had contacted each other by phone and learned that the garrison had sent a battalion of soldiers to assist the public security in carrying out a crackdown in the capital.

During a phone call with Xiao Zhan, I learned that there are also armed police stationed in the provincial capital to assist them in public security operations.

Ye Tianshui was too lazy to contact Gao Hongda and Li Haomin in Sucheng.

In his previous life, he had never heard of any large gang crimes in these two cities.

Those who hold guns don't have to be afraid of those bastards holding knives, sticks or clubs.

Ye Tianshui became more and more adept at his work, and Secretary-General Qiao Zheng's attention was gradually attracted by him.

His workload gradually increased.

"Xiao Ye, we have a group that is about to disband. We will add two more members to your group, and the services of ten old leaders will also be added to your group."

Qiao Zheng handed Ye Tianshui a list. He took it and saw that Mr. Wu’s name appeared on the list of old leaders.

Ye Tianshui was a little dazed. He hadn't seen this old man for a long time. When the first list was allocated, Ye Tianshui deliberately excluded him from his group.

Who knew that the person he didn't want to see again would have to deal with him again after going around in circles.

"Secretary Qiao, has Mr. Wu recovered a little?"

Ye Tianshui asked with concern.

"Oh? You know Mr. Wu? Although his health is not as good as before and he has to stay in bed to recuperate, his mind is still clear.

You’ll know when you meet him.”

Ye Tianshui smiled modestly and explained:

“He is my classmate’s grandfather and I met him several times during school.

At that time, I discovered that the old man was in poor health.”

Ye Tianshui understood best the distress of not being able to control one's body but having a clear mind.

In the past, he watched his body failing day by day while his mind was unusually clear. It was not a pleasant feeling.

I didn't expect that Mr. Wu had such a strong vitality. When he accompanied Wu Pingtao to see him for Xiaojie's matter, he thought he would not live long.

He couldn't help but call Wu Pingtao. Wu Pingtao on the other end of the phone was very happy to hear Ye Tianshui's voice.

"Xiao Shui, are you here to ask about the progress of your hotel again? Don't worry, I'm here, your brother-in-law is watching, and the director is always paying attention. Everything will go well.

It should be completed by the end of the year.”

Ye Tianshui smiled:

"Brother Tao, the construction of the hotel is in the charge of Boss Chen and Boss Tong. I don't need to worry about it. I just want to ask about your work. Is it going well?"

"With your support behind me, I have less worries. The Investment Promotion Office will soon be independent and become the Investment Promotion Bureau.

When you have time, come and have a look. Pengcheng is changing every day. In a word, it is truly changing with each passing day.

In your industrial park alone, if you hadn't said you wanted to keep some factory buildings for your own use, they would have been snatched up long ago.

Once your warehouse is built, it will be guaranteed not to be vacant.

Leader Hua said it several times, praising you for having the best vision and choosing such a good position.

At that time, everyone thought it was an abandoned saline-alkali land, and you were the only one who dared to buy it.

Now, your location has the most convenient sea and land transportation."

It was only when Wu Pingtao went to Pengcheng that he found out that Ye Tianshui had actually bought so much land there and had several joint venture projects with foreign investors.

Ye Tianshui bought two 60-square-meter apartments for him and Su Xin in Liyuan Community in Luohu District, and directly connected them in the middle during the renovation.

The neighbor on the right is Hua Zijian, and downstairs is Sikong Kong, and there is also Qiao Ming who went to Pengcheng from Beijing with Sikong Kong.

Ye Tianshui did not tell him that he was also the one who arranged the houses for these three people, but Wu Pingtao knew in his heart that their houses must have been purchased by Ye Tianshui as well.

"Of course. How can I make money if I don't have a good eye?"

Ye Tianshui said without any concealment.

Since Wu Pingtao went to Pengcheng, and was the investment promotion office, his investment in Pengcheng could not be concealed, so he simply presented it in front of him in a generous manner.

"By the way, Uncle Su said that Su Xin is pregnant again. Why didn't you think of telling me such good news earlier?"

"I was just about to say this, but you beat me to it. It's only been two months, and she's had severe morning sickness during this period, even worse than when she was pregnant with Xiaojie. Fortunately, her job is just to sit in an office."

Now Wu Pingtao can remain calm when talking about his son.

No matter how painful the wound is, it will heal slowly with the passage of time. It is not forgotten, it is just buried deep in the heart.

The two chatted for a while, and then Ye Tianshui hung up the phone. In the end, he did not mention Mr. Wu.

When a new life is born, it will slowly heal the pain of Wu Pingtao and Su Xin losing their son.

That old man was a thorn in the couple's hearts, so it was better not to mention him.

Fang Minghui kept yawning and his tears and nose were dripping while he was at work.

The colleague sitting next to him looked at him with disdain and moved his stool a little to the side.

"Fang Minghui, didn't you go out to steal at night? Be careful and don't go out too much. People are catching bad guys outside now!"

Fang Minghui wiped his face with a handkerchief and quickly defended himself:

"Don't talk nonsense, I just have a cold and I can't control it."

"Cold? Is it the flu? Ma Pi, don't infect us. Sit further away, in that corner."

Other colleagues also began to dislike him.

Since Fang Weilin was sentenced and Zhu Mingzhu was dismissed from his post, Fang Minghui's position as deputy section chief was also removed from his position.

Fang Minghui has always been arrogant, and anyone can make fun of him, so he can only keep his tail between his legs.

Fang Minghui looked at the corner that his colleague pointed to. He felt angry and wanted to protest. He yawned again, and tears and snot started flowing again.

Feeling guilty, he quickly wiped it clean, then obediently moved the desk to the corner with his back to everyone.

"Hehe, the suave Section Chief Fang, Mr. Fang, has turned into a slug!"

"It's just that, seeing him yawning and having a runny nose makes me sick."

"Have you noticed that he has been like this for a while? Any cold should be gone by now, right?"

"Cold? Why didn't I see him go to the hospital to see a doctor or take medicine?

Who knows what disease he has?”

"If it gets worse, we'll report it to our superiors and ask him to go to the hospital for a checkup. If it really is an infectious disease, we'll be in trouble!"
