Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Early this morning, Feng Sizhe promised Yingtao that he would accompany him in the evening. This was the first time he made a promise to Yingtao, and he had to fulfill it.

In the room, when Yingtao opened the door and saw that it was Feng Sizhe, she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. "Are you okay? I'm really worried about you."

Yingtao was indeed a little restless that day. Although she didn't understand politics, she knew a little about the consequences of privately carrying a gun in peacetime, not to mention that the person who was beaten this time was a young master of great status. She was really afraid that Feng Sizhe would be punished because of her. If that happened, she would be uneasy for the rest of her life. Now, seeing that Feng Sizhe had returned safely and in good spirits, she could finally put down the big stone in her heart.

"What could possibly happen to me? Look, I'm fine, aren't I?" Feng Sizhe felt heartbroken when he saw Yingtao's worried look.

"Well, it's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine, how about this, I'll cook for you, I'll go out and buy some vegetables during the day, you can just stay here and try my cooking, okay?" Cherry said this with a glimmer of hope. She knew too well that this man was very busy, and she really had no idea whether he really had time to accompany her for a night.

"Okay." Feng Sizhe said the two words that Cherry wanted to hear most. At this moment, she exclaimed happily like a happy little bird, and then went about her business.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

For several days in a row, Feng Sizhe was in a good mood.

Wo Xiaozhi has been taken back to the Central Plains Military Region by the Wo family. It is estimated that he will not be allowed to come to Kyoto to cause trouble for a while. At the General Song and Dance Troupe, the deputy director who sent Yingtao to receive Wo Shao was also transferred to a position that was not important in logistics. This is also a big punishment. After what happened with Yingtao, I am afraid that no one there will dare to make things difficult for him, because this time Li Zhiyong came forward in person and said that Mr. Zhao liked Yingtao very much and was ready to take her as his granddaughter.

With Li Zhiyong's words, who would dare to go after Cherry? Not everyone dares to do something that would offend the emperor.

On this day, Feng Sizhe was reviewing documents in the office as usual. Now that the work of the Inspection Office was on the right track, many things could be done by Group 1, Group 2 and the field team. He only needed to grasp the general direction, and it was also necessary to use this time to study more and recharge himself.

Just two days ago, Feng Sizhe received a doctorate from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He spent four years to get this honor, and he cherishes it very much. He is also considering continuing his studies and striving to obtain multiple doctorate degrees. Sometimes academic qualifications are a key card for promotion in the officialdom.

Feng Sizhe, who was always successful, had gained some weight recently, and this was because he was in a good mood. After handling several major cases in the Inspectorate, no one dared to look down on him anymore, and even those who disliked him became much more honest. They probably knew that Feng Sizhe was in high spirits and his career was going smoothly. If they forcibly provoke this person, they might get into trouble in the future. The second reason was naturally Cherry. Not to mention that this girl was not only beautiful, but also cooked delicious food, which at least suited Feng Sizhe's appetite. His belly had grown a little bigger recently.

After work at noon, Feng Sizhe did what he did as usual. He first called He Shasha, Miao Zihan, Ren Yingying, and Ding Dang. When he learned that they all had their own things to do and Wang Ruihua had to rush to prepare some materials at noon and could not accompany him, he called Li Shuang and went straight to where Yingtao lived.

What does it mean to enjoy the best of both worlds? Feng Sizhe is enjoying this treatment right now. Whenever any of the women have time, they will come to accompany him, which makes him feel young in mentality and relaxed in body and spirit.

When the car arrived downstairs, Li Shuang parked the car aside tactfully. Usually, in such situations, Feng Sizhe would go upstairs alone. Even if you are someone's close friend, you have to avoid suspicion. Li Shuang grasped this sense of propriety just right.

Walking upstairs, Feng Sizhe came to the door and heard the sound of two women whispering together. When he first heard the two voices, he thought it was a colleague from the song and dance troupe who came to see Yingtao, but when he listened carefully, he found that the other voice was obviously much heavier, and it should be spoken by an older person.

When Feng Sizhe wanted to continue listening to what the other party was saying, the door opened, and then Cherry appeared in front of Feng Sizhe. It turned out that Cherry had discovered him as early as when Li Shuang drove the car into the yard.

"What are you still standing there for? Come in and meet my mother." Cherry looked at Feng Sizhe with a smile on her face, and said embarrassedly with her head down.

It turned out to be the mother-in-law. No wonder the voice sounded a bit heavy. But when Feng Sizhe thought about his current relationship with Yingtao, he didn't know how to face her, and a bitter look appeared on his face.

Yingtao had expected this to happen. She took a step forward and whispered, "My mother already knows about our relationship. She doesn't object, but she just wants to meet you. Why don't you let her get to know you after eating her daughter?"

After Yingtao said this, Feng Sizhe felt a little embarrassed. He thought that since he had confirmed his relationship with Yingtao and could not give her any status, he should meet her family. This was the most basic courtesy. He straightened his clothes and made sure there was nothing inappropriate, then walked into the room.

Standing in front of Feng Sizhe was a middle-aged woman who was dressed very neatly and looked to be in her fifties. As soon as she saw Feng Sizhe, she couldn't help but look at him. Seeing that the man in front of her was still young and handsome, she nodded and said, "Okay, it's good that you're here. Come in and take a seat."

"Okay, Auntie." Although the other person was only a dozen years older than him, the seniority could not be messed up. Feng Sizhe called out and walked into the room.

From the conversation, I learned that Cherry's mother is named Sun Li. She is a street clerk in Tangche County, Jiahong City, Harbin Province. She will retire in two years. This time she came to Kyoto to visit her daughter.

Cherry has been an only child since she was young, and has been spoiled by her father and mother. Cherry's family is originally well-off. Her father is a civil servant in a government agency and a small cadre. Her mother works in the street office. The conditions are pretty good. If Cherry had not come to Kyoto to try her luck, but just stayed in that small county town, she would probably have lived a good life.

The two chatted for a while, and Sun Li didn't say anything more after learning that Feng Sizhe was already 39 years old and still worked in a government agency. Working in the subdistrict office, she was exposed to too many trivial matters. Although many families were of similar age, there were many unhappy couples. This made her think it through. As long as her daughter was happy and the man was good to her and loved her, that was enough. As for whether there was any status, it became secondary. How could you be the only one who could have all the good things in the world?

After chatting with Feng Sizhe for a while, Sun Li and her daughter were busy cooking, and Feng Sizhe turned on the TV to watch the news. Ying's mother was so easy to talk to, which made Feng Sizhe breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that if possible, he must be filial to such a good family. He should return a gift to the girl he had taken.

After watching TV for a while, and perhaps because he drank too much tea, Feng Sizhe went to the bathroom. During this time, he overheard some conversations between Sun Li and her daughter.

"Mom, is my dad really going to retire early?" This was Cherry's voice.

"Well, it would be better if you retire. The key is that you are not yet of retirement age. I heard from the old boss of the Organization Department that Secretary Li wants your father to go to the office to guard the gate. He said that you can only officially retire when you reach the actual retirement age." Sun Li's voice sounded a little helpless at this time.

"What, let your dad guard the gate? How can that be possible? He is a veteran of the county government, so many people know him, and my dad is such a proud man, wouldn't it be more painful for him to guard the gate than to let him die?" Cherry's voice revealed a hint of confusion.

"Yes, but who can you blame? If you want to blame someone, isn't it your father's bad temper? He clearly knew that Zhang Ying was Secretary Li's person, but he still went against her. What was he waiting for if he didn't deal with you properly when he had the chance? Alas, I don't know how many times I have advised your father, but he just wouldn't listen. What can I do?" Sun Li's mother's helpless voice came again.

"But my dad has been working for so many years. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. Can he accept asking him to be the gatekeeper like this?" It was obvious that Cherry was feeling a little aggrieved.

"Okay, tell me whether you accept it or not. I've already thought about it. If the county government really lets your father look after the gate, I will apply for internal retirement for him. It doesn't matter if no one pays him. Over the years, your father and I haven't spent much money. We have saved all our salaries. I originally intended to leave them for you, but now I see that you don't need much money. I'll use the money to support your father. We'll talk about it after two years when he reaches retirement age." Sun Li was quite open-minded. It took her a long time to come up with a solution to this problem.

Listening to her mother's words, Yingtao could only sigh, "Okay, let my dad take a break. I have some money here, you can take it back. Go around and see the world while you are still healthy. Just treat it as a trip."
