Rebirth: 1977

The secretary agreed repeatedly, walked out of Lin Botao's office backwards, and closed the door gently.

He straightened up his back instantly, stared at the door deeply for a while, turned around and left gracefully.

The anger on Lin Botao's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by doubts and uneasiness that could not be concealed.

Zhuoping was arrested. As the top leader, there must be an explanation for him from above, but the reason was not told.

This matter made him uneasy, and the anonymous letter in the desk drawer was still lying quietly inside.

He couldn't tell whether it had been disturbed or not.

Perhaps, that stupid arrest had nothing to do with what happened in the anonymous letter, and Zhuoping also did other sinister things?

The so-called "dongchuang incident" caught Lin Botao off guard.

There is no one who has come from this era who has not done one or two "bad things" that can be named, and the whole body is affected by one incident. Whoever is implicated has something unclear.

Zhuo Ping was domineering, and Lin Botao gave in step by step. In the end, he was finally defeated and surrendered.

Lin Botao considers himself a smart man. If he can't fight, he will give way.

The anonymous letter was weighed and weighed in his hand, but Shi Zong did not hand it over.

What he was afraid of was that if Zhuoping was arrested and investigated, and the dog bit someone in a hurry, something might involve him and get him burned.

Lin Botao felt that he could not do such a stupid thing that was not worth the gain.

Finally, he decided to give up handing in the anonymous letter, but suddenly, Zhuo Ping was arrested!

He should cheer for joy and secretly celebrate that without Zhuo Ping, he has become the real leader!

But he couldn't be happy.

He suspected that the secretary had seen the anonymous letter, but there was no evidence.

After defrauding the secretary, I was still not sure, but a needle stuck in my heart, making me restless.

Looking at the back of the taciturn young man's head, it looked like there was a bone on it.

······

When Yin Tianshui returned to Panjiawan, the wall foundation had been dug one meter deep, and he quickly asked those who still wanted to dig deeper to stop.

"I'm not building a building, this is deep enough."

Two pots of rice, a large pot of braised fish, a large pot of fish head soup, and two large pots of fried vegetables are already placed on the dining table with a delicious aroma.

Pan Shougen, the production team leader, walked in with his hands behind his back: "Xiao Shui, the food is so good? The whole village can smell the fragrance."

"Captain Pan, these working brothers brought it all themselves, and I also eat for a living."

Yin Tianshui smiled and stood up to greet him.

Brother Chen, the middle-aged man who was surrounded by rice, had served as a soldier in the army canteen for four years, and he was quite good at cooking large pots of rice and large pots of food.

"It's the captain. Let's stay and eat together. That's enough."

Yin Tianshui has no interface. If he opens this hole, he doesn't know how many people will be shameless to take advantage of it later.

He handed a large Qianmen cigarette to the captain, lit it for him politely, pointed at the bicycle and said apologetically:

"Captain Pan, when my house is finished, I will buy a new one and give it back to you."

Pan Shougen walked around his bicycle several times, carefully checking the tires, steel rims, bars and faucets. He pressed the bell and it was very clear. He grinned and clicked his tongue several times in distress.

He hesitated and said:

"There's no need to buy a new car. We don't pay much attention in the countryside. Otherwise, just return this car to me and you can give me some extra money, which will be considered as the car's wear and tear."

The money he borrowed has been repaid, and Yin Tianshui still agrees with the compensation for the bicycle's wear and tear.

"Captain Pan, how much subsidy do you think is appropriate?"

"The paint is all chipped off, the steel rims seem to have been bent due to heavy blows, and the tires are very worn. Xiao Shui, my Shougen was brand new when I lent it to you."

The one who spoke first was the captain's wife, with a look of criticism and disgust on her face.

"Aunt Pan, tell me a price. As long as it's suitable, I'll accept it."

The smile on Yin Tianshui's face faded.

"We men are talking, women should not interrupt."

Pan Shougen kept a straight face and stopped his wife from speaking.

"What's the matter between men and women? Is Yin Tianshui considered a man? His hair hasn't even grown yet!"

"The bicycle belongs to our family. We have lent it out for such a long time. If we don't ask for it, I'm afraid we won't acknowledge it!"

"Am I wrong?"

The woman spoke with a strong voice, as if Yin Tianshui wanted to get rid of the bicycle and not return it.

She probably forgot that Yin Tianshui carried four wild ducks twice and gave fish twice, each weighing more than four or five kilograms, at least two or even three, just to repay this favor.

And just now, I was saying to Pan Shougen, "When you build a house, you will also get a new bicycle."

"Xiao Shui, what's going on?"

Xiao Zhan strode over and asked.

Yin Tianshui smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's call the brothers to eat."

He turned to look at Pan Shougen and said in a calm tone: "I want to thank Captain Pan for lending me the bicycle."

After a moment of silence, he took out the money from his pocket, counted 180 big tickets and handed them to Pan Shougen: "Here, click on it. It only costs [-] yuan to buy a new car. It should be enough."

Pan Shougen's wife snatched it away, spit on her hand and started counting seriously.

"It's 180 yuan, but Xiao Shui, don't forget that an industrial ticket also costs money."

Yin Tianshui pointed to the bicycle lane: "Captain Pan just said that this bike will be returned to you, and some losses will be subsidized."

He smiled slightly and said: "You can take the bicycle back. The 180 yuan is considered as my compensation for the wear and tear and Captain Pan's favor for lending me the bicycle."

He glanced at Pan Shougen and his wife lightly: "From now on, we will never owe each other anything."

Pan Shougen was talking about the bicycle today, followed by his wife and other villagers. He must have skipped the villagers to build a house for Yin Tianshui. He was dissatisfied and came to give him power.

At this moment, Pan Shougen's face was full of embarrassment. His wife was proud of herself. She stuffed the money into her pocket, pushed the bicycle and ran away, as if she was worried that Yin Tianshui would default on the bill.

"Xiao Shui, you have suffered too much."

Xiao Zhan said angrily when he sat down to eat.

Yin Tianshui stuffed rice into his mouth and praised repeatedly: "The rice cooked in the big iron pot is fragrant. Brother Chen, leave a piece of rice for me if you have any."

He wiped his mouth and sneered: "For things that can be solved with money, who can tell whether you will suffer a loss or take advantage."

"Do you know why I asked you to build a house? If I give you two or three yuan more wages every day, you will definitely thank me happily.

But if I invite people from the village, the wages must not be less, and I may have to worry about whether the food is good or bad. Even if it is better than others, they will bully me because I am young and picky. "

Yin Tianshui chuckled: "Just like that bicycle, I gave away things and returned favors again and again, but they only remembered the favor of lending me the bicycle.

Building a house is a big deal, and I may never be able to repay such a heavy favor in my lifetime. "

He sighed: "So, I think it's not a bad thing today. I paid off the favor with money.

That's fine. Later, I'll catch fish, wild ducks and eggs, and exchange them for pork. Anyway, I'll make your mouths full of oil, and those shallow-sighted villagers will have nothing to say when they see it! "

This matter reached Tang Qizheng's ears, and Pan Shougen was called to scold him for half an hour.

"Do you have shit in your head? Do you have bad ideas all day long?"

"Xiao Shui is a kind and kind child. Has he ever made you suffer? Has he ever taken advantage of you?"

"How shameless are you to let a woman lead the way with those nonsense-talking fools?"

"That kid will definitely be promising in the future, and maybe he can help win over the people in the village. Now, haha, I'm just pushing him out!"

"You've spent your age on a pig!"

"Damn us men!"
