Rebirth: 1977

Tang Qizheng entered Pan Shifeng's house, walked around inside and outside, looked upstairs and downstairs, and nodded:

“You’ve made thorough preparations, but I’m not sure whether Xiaoshui and the others will stay here.

It takes less than 40 minutes to get here by car from the city. His home in Xiaolou Lane not only has air conditioning, but the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are now in bud, the yard is large, and there are two century-old pine and cypress trees. His place is the most comfortable place to escape the summer heat.

I'm afraid you've wasted your money on this air conditioner."

Tang Qizhen sat down, picked up the boiled water and gulped down half of the cup. Then he put it down and wiped the sweat from his mouth and forehead.

Pan Shifeng handed over a wet towel and said, "Wipe it off. I've thought about this possibility. After all, Xiaoshui's family in the city has everything they need.

But this time he brought his wife and children with him, so the meaning was different from before. Maybe he wanted them to see the place where he lived when he was a child?

We live here all day long and wish we could live in the city.

But city people also like to come to the countryside to have fun, especially children. When they come, I take them to walk along the canal and see the water pumps and dragon boats when they fetch water.

At night, we go to the river to fish and catch shrimps. I have a hunting rifle at home, so I take my children to the woods on the mountain to shoot some birds at night.

These are the things we played with when we were young, but city kids never have the chance to see them.

Try to persuade the child to stay overnight. Xiaoshui will definitely not object."

It was only after Pan Shifeng came into contact with many city people that he realized the difference in life between urban and rural areas.

Similarly, rural children have much more things to play with than urban children.

Tang Qizheng lit a cigarette and nodded slowly: "Since you already have a plan, then give it a try.

Since you have bought the air conditioner, advise your parents to use it at night and don't always think about saving money.

Don’t worry about other people’s envy.”

Pan Shifeng nodded and said, "I think so too. Even if they don't stay for a day, I still have to prepare. It's only about 4,000 yuan.

Even if my parents are reluctant to use it, it is necessary to have it at home.

I don’t want to use it in the summer, but I can use it in the winter.”

Tang Qizheng took the towel with a chuckle and wiped it carefully. "Four thousand yuan?" This man's tone is different now that he has money.

The so-called "wealth and power" is revealed inadvertently.

He used the dividends he received from seafood every year to buy two courtyard houses in Beijing, following Ye Tianshui's advice.

Ye Tianshui's original words were: "Money won't earn much interest if it's in the bank, it's better to buy a house for each of my two grandsons to appreciate in value."

If someone else said this to him, Tang Qizheng would definitely just turn a deaf ear to it.

Why buy a house? His son has been promoted to this position now, so it is impossible for him to be transferred back to the local area.

The big villa they live in is theirs.

The house in my hometown is also a two-story building with three rooms, and there are two large bungalows behind a large patio.

Now his wife has been helping her son take care of the children and the household in Beijing, and she can’t get away from it once she took over.

He now goes to Beijing twice a year and comes back after spending half a month together.

Tang Chusheng tried to persuade his father to quit his position as brigade secretary and move to Beijing, but he refused.

He saw many old men in the alleys of Beijing who did not have to go to work. They would hold one or several bird cages in their hands and go out to play with the birds, walk the dogs, drink tea and chat early in the morning.

Would he join these people when he went to the capital? Just thinking about it made me feel uncomfortable.

Now that he is rich and powerful, he no longer needs to be greedy for petty profits, and he speaks with more confidence.

He still lives the same life and is not reluctant to spend money, but as a brigade cadre, he cannot be treated too specially.

Those who don’t know would even suspect that he took advantage of his position to embezzle the money.

It is difficult to guard against such things as frame-up.

So, he held the money and continued to endure the heat, still using the electric fan.

Fortunately, after sweating profusely, I took a hot shower and turned on the electric fan, which made me feel comfortable all over.

It was Ye Tianshui who reminded Tang Qizheng of this method.

Rural people are used to clear water at night, and in summer, they like to drink ice-cold well water.

If you are more particular, you can buy a packet of sour plum powder to make sour plum soup.

Bathing in the river at night is very convenient as there are rivers in front of and behind the village. It can also save some firewood and the water is warm and will not hurt the body.

What you should avoid is to use well water to rinse your whole body from head to toe after sweating profusely. It may feel refreshing and good at the time, but it is definitely harmful to your body.

Ye Tianshui died of illness in his previous life. In this life, he often reminds himself and those around him about their living and eating habits and gives them suggestions.

Tang Qizheng looked at Feng Jiandong's small figure slowly going away on the village road and asked casually:

"Why is the Feng family's kid here again? Did he cause you any trouble?"

"Oh..." Pan Shifeng couldn't help but sigh: "I really have an indescribable feeling about that child.

It seems like he never understands what you say when you talk to him. No, it’s because he just doesn’t listen to you.

He has always been my own man. Just now, I couldn't help myself and slapped him twice."

"What?" Tang Qizheng was shocked: "You slapped him? How did he offend you?"

In Tang Qizheng's eyes, when Pan Shifeng took office as the director of the brigade factory, he seemed more stable and mature than his peers.

In the past few years, following Ye Tianshui, he managed such a large seafood business in an orderly manner, and had developed more than a dozen large and medium-sized cities in China.

As his wealth grows, his experience and vision become deeper and broader. He will encounter all kinds of opponents and partners in the business world, and Pan Shifeng can now deal with them with ease.

If you tell others that he actually got so angry with a child that he started fighting, many people would probably find it unbelievable.

But Tang Qizheng knew that what this child did would indeed cause him a lot of headaches.

Pan Shifeng briefly described what had just happened:

"To be honest, you have always reminded me not to show off my wealth. Look, everything in my home is as simple as possible.

When I'm not at home, my parents' life is similar to that of ordinary families.

They are also used to a simple life and are reluctant to spend money given to them. Therefore, even if the villagers know that I have a good income outside, they can accept it.

Today, I bought an air conditioner for Xiaoshui, and it seemed like I had touched a nerve with them, and they all said some sour words to me.

I was mentally prepared for all these and would not argue with them, but who knew that the kid from the Feng family would jump out again and keep saying that Xiaoshui was his father.

The key point is, he thinks that since I make money from Xiaoshui, I should support him as well.

Secretary Tang, do you think this child is sick?

Have you ever looked closely at his eyes? They are scary, not like a child's at all, full of calculation and viciousness.

More complicated than many business people I've met."

Tang Qizheng sighed: "That child was praised as a 'child prodigy' by Sun Meijuan and the villagers.

But this child prodigy does no good and has great destructive power, so people call him the little devil. Whoever is targeted by him will be in trouble.

Your parents are kind-hearted and have good tempers. In the past, Yin Yuling came to make trouble every time and Feng Jiandong saw it all.

He is just a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.

You should just beat him up. How could a normal child be so shameless and always make trouble for no reason?

Beat him up and scare him off, so he won’t dare to cause trouble for your parents again.”
