Rebirth: 1977

Hua Guoxing brought Ye Tianshui into his office, and his face suddenly became serious:

"Xiao Shui, where is the document? Why did the higher-ups ask you to send it over?"

Ye Tianshui's expression also became serious, and he handed the document bag to Hua Guoxing with both hands:

"Here, Dad, this document is very important, right? Secretary Qiao asked me to deliver it. For safety reasons on the road, I asked Chen Jun and Lin Hao to escort it together."

Hua Guoxing took it, but did not open it immediately. He looked at Ye Tianshui and nodded silently:

"It is indeed very important. The headquarters has too many different attitudes towards handling some things. For the sake of safety, I have specially uploaded the meeting minutes and everyone's opinions together and let the higher-ups make the decision."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianshui immediately understood why Hua Guoxing did this. After all, the document issued from above did not set out specific rules and details on how to carry out the crackdown.

Ye Tianshui participated in the revision of the document and he was very familiar with its contents.

It's like giving an essay question. A proposition is given, and how to execute it depends entirely on the writer's own understanding.

Moreover, there is a lot of room for development.

Just stick to the central point and don't go off topic.

But this is not an article after all, so it can be revised.

This crackdown involves human lives. Without any experience to refer to in the action plan and an unclear attitude from above, the executors dare not act rashly.

Randomly guessing the intentions of superiors is the so-called "a slight mistake leads to a huge loss", so Hua Guoxing's caution is very necessary.

Ye Tianshui couldn't help but admire his father-in-law.

"Dad, please take a look at the reply given in the document first. I don't know what your opinion is. Is this reply what you want?"

Ye Tianshui's tone became more serious: "This is confidential, I must avoid it.

At the critical moment, don’t hand a knife to someone with ulterior motives.”

Heroes emerge in troubled times, which means that some people take advantage of the chaos to achieve their own selfish desires.

He stood up and prepared to leave before reminding:

"Dad, since the higher-ups have given their advice on how to deal with this, whether it's what you want or not, this is what you have to do next.

It would be better to be safe and gather everyone together before you open it."

Thinking of the severity of the crackdown in his previous life and the swift and decisive action time, Ye Tianshui looked at Hua Guoxing worriedly.

He knew his father-in-law and was afraid that the response he brought would not suit his taste.

In the face of such a large-scale movement, the opinions of the executors below cannot be said to be right or wrong. What is right is to carry out the orders from above without any compromise.

"Dad, obedience is the duty of a soldier. If you feel that you cannot keep up with the current development ideas, why not give up the position of commander-in-chief and return to the barracks and the capital.

Xiaojin and Xiaoyi miss you. Has your old injury recurred?

Every inch has its own strengths and every foot has its own weaknesses. Your strengths and ambitions are in the army and on the battlefield.

Even if you were to retire now and enjoy your retirement, your savings would be enough to support you for a lifetime."

Hua Guoxing looked at Ye Tianshui in surprise, and slowly, a knowing smile appeared on his face:

"You're right. I just like to fight with real weapons. I'm not afraid of gunfire. I just don't understand these twists and turns in the local government."

He waved the document bag in his hand:

"Don't worry, no matter what orders are given from above, I will resolutely obey.

After a while, I applied to return to the military and give this position to someone more suitable.

I can also see my two children every day.”

"I will stay here for a few days. I heard that the evil forces in Tangshan are rampant. Now that I am here, I will open my eyes and see the final outcome of these people.

I'll come see you when it's convenient for you."

Ye Tianshui waved and left. He didn't want to give anyone a chance to catch him, so it was always better to be cautious.

Ye Tianshui took Chen Jun and Lin Hao walking on the city streets of Tangshan. The shops on both sides of the street were open for business as usual, but there were very few customers.

Every pedestrian was in a hurry. The three of them walked along the way and did not see any group of people gathered together talking loudly.

The air pressure is very low throughout the city.

"Director, I heard that after Chief Hua and his men arrived here, they arrested a lot of people. Now the Public Security Bureau can't hold all the prisoners, so they borrowed a few abandoned warehouses to hold the prisoners."

Chen Jun glanced around and followed Ye Tianshui closely, reporting in a low voice.

"When Commander Hua and his men first arrived in Tangshan, they encountered several gangs engaging in group fights, and they were able to capture some of them.

Those bastards probably forgot that the country has political and legal organs and think of themselves as the kings and queens of this land.

When the soldiers went to arrest them, they actually dared to hold kitchen knives and shouted that they would fight to the death.

I don’t know what’s going on in their heads.”

Lin Hao also added some information.

Ye Tianshui led two people into a small state-owned restaurant. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon and there was no customer inside.

They just had a little dry snack in the car.

Now he was starving, Ye Tianshui said to himself with a self-deprecating remark:

"My dad is such a fool. He didn't even ask us if we had dinner?"

Chen Jun and Lin Hao both laughed.

"Don't blame Commander Hua. Soldiers are sometimes careless. He has important responsibilities, so it's normal that he can't remember. It's because you didn't remind him."

"We weren't hungry at that time. If we hadn't seen the restaurant, we would have forgotten that we were hungry."

Ye Tianshui raised his eyebrows. When he saw that the highest commander of the crackdown in Tangshan was his father-in-law, he was confused for a while.

No one told him beforehand.

The two people currently have different identities. If they talk alone for too long, it will easily cause misunderstanding, so they left in a hurry.

"I wonder if there's any food in the store right now? Let's go in and ask."

A salesperson saw two people in uniform walking in behind a handsome young man. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately came up to them with a big smile on his face and asked hesitantly:

"Excuse me, leader, do you want to eat?"

"You don't take a break at noon? You still have food to eat now?"

Chen Jun took a step forward and asked.

"Yes, yes, yes. Our leader said that the restaurant will be open 24 hours a day during this period. The kitchen is preparing dishes and the chefs are on duty in shifts."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianshui knew that after the crackdown began, all walks of life would be on alert.

Ordinary people and those who run shops are usually harassed by those bastards, so arresting them is definitely in line with public opinion.

But among those arrested, some were said to be orphans, but the vast majority of them had families.

Among these people, most of them come from ordinary people, right?

Therefore, the severe crackdown has made the bad guys tremble in fear, and has also made some families with bad behavior feel nervous.

This city is not big, and the people who run the restaurant are well-informed. It can be seen that they are not locals. Chen Jun and Lin Hao are wearing uniforms, so it is normal for them to receive a warm and special reception in these times of panic.

"Then please give us three people one meat, one vegetable and one soup. The staple food can be rice, steamed buns or noodles."

Ye Tianshui found a seat by the window and sat down. He looked at the table and found it was clean and not greasy at all.

The salesperson hesitated for a moment and asked politely:

"Boss, do you prefer fish or meat for non-vegetarian meals? Would you like to try our chess piece sesame cakes for staple food? They taste good, both sweet and salty."

Ye Tianshui was surprised by the salesperson's professional attitude and asked casually:

"What are your signature dishes? Fish and meat are fine. As for the staple food, I'll give you a try of your chess piece sesame cakes. They can be sweet or savory.

A little more is fine, we can take it away.”

The salesperson smiled more sincerely and introduced the product more seriously:

"The swallow fish here, oh, that's what you call Spanish mackerel, is delicious whether it's pan-fried, dry-roasted, stir-fried, or braised in sauce.

We have beef, pork, and chicken. When it’s cold, we have mutton. Oh, hey, hey, we don’t have that now.”

Ye Tianshui thought of Hua Guoxing. Once he got here, the food provided in the army canteen might not suit his taste, and he didn't know if it was nutritious enough.

He knew that Spanish mackerel had high nutritional value.

"Make me a dish of dry-fried Spanish mackerel and a dish of braised Spanish mackerel in sauce, and also two servings of braised spareribs.

Remember, spareribs should not be spicy, and fish should be lightly spicy.”

He planned to bring some meat dishes back to curry favor with his father-in-law.

"Okay, I'll tell the kitchen to cook right away. Please wait a moment, boss. I'll make you a pot of tea and send you a plate of chess piece sesame cakes to fill your stomach."
