Rebirth: 1977

On November 9, 1983, Mr. Wu officially announced the date of the funeral and bid farewell to the body.

In the previous three days, personnel from various systems were organized to pay their respects.

Ye Tianshui saw many familiar faces among the crowd.

"Brother, big brother."

Yun Yueyue and Yun Feiyang quietly slipped out of the team.

"Why are you all here today?"

Ye Tianshui asked softly.

"Brother, today the Qingda organization came to pay their respects. Look, many of our classmates know you."

Yun Feiyang nodded to the long line.

"That's right, big brother. It was my classmates who reminded me that I saw you."

Yun Yueyue leaned close to Ye Tianshui and said.

Ye Tianshui knew that the government departments and schools in the capital and suburban counties all came in batches.

Ye Tianshui didn't expect to meet students from Qingdao University on the day he arrived.

He didn't know any of his younger classmates, but as a top student who ranked first in the exam among the 1981 graduates of Qingdao University, he was a legend of Qingdao University.

Ye Tianshui’s handsome photo is hung on a conspicuous wall in the school and is the pride of Qingdao University.

Many "Wu faction" leading cadres scattered across provinces and cities also came.

Wu Pingtao never wanted to get in touch with the "network resources" that his grandfather was proud of.

After discussing with Ye Tianshui and Su Jianxin, he handed over the reception work to those cousins ​​who were eager to try.

“Xiao Shui, I like to build the connections I need myself.

On the one hand, they sincerely wanted to continue to support my grandfather, and on the other hand, they also wanted to use our Wu family to bring them resources.

If I accept them, I might end up being controlled in every way and become a puppet, being led around by others."

When Wu Pingtao said this to Ye Tianshui in private, it was equivalent to telling Ye Tianshui in disguise that his future path would not be mixed with the Wu family.

It is also a statement to Ye Jianfeng.

This is something Ye Tianshui is happy to see. It is the best thing for good brothers to stand in the same camp.

"Okay, Brother Tao, you and I will definitely have a place in politics in the next few decades."

Ye Tianshui replied with a faint smile.

When Ye Tianshui came today, he was only responsible for pushing Ye Jianfeng's wheelchair, and he was also accompanied by a few guards.

During the entire ceremony, he and Wu Pingtao simply nodded, and there was no kowtow in the ceremony.

Ye Tianshui himself did not understand the mourning ceremony for leaders of this era, so he just bowed three times.

As for other members of the Wu family, he also nodded indifferently and walked away. However, the Wu family members and people around Mr. Wu, such as Xiao Baoguo, came up and shook hands with Ye Jianfeng one by one.

At this moment, Ye Jianfeng and a group of leaders met in the conference room next door to discuss some things.

Seeing that Ye Tianshui was alone, his younger brother and sister-in-law came over to talk to him sensibly.

"Are you able to keep up with your studies in school?"

Ye Tianshui didn’t know what to say, so he could only pay some attention to his studies.

"Don't worry, big brother, you are setting an example. My second brother and I cannot embarrass you."

Yun Yueyue said proudly.

"Brother, why did I hear that my sister-in-law resigned? A lot of people were moved inside the Supreme Procuratorate, what's going on?"

Yun Feiyang lowered his voice and asked with concern.

Yun Yueyue also looked at Ye Tianshui nervously: "That's right, how could he touch my sister-in-law?

Is someone bullying her? Do you want our dad...grandparents to come out and talk to her?"

Ye Tianshui shook his head slightly and replied in a low voice:

“Don’t worry, no one dares to bully your sister-in-law. She is going to give birth in a few months, or she is going to go out to wait for the birth.

I have a public office and I am under control, so I just quit it. "

Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good. We were very worried when we heard it. We were afraid that someone would bully our sister-in-law."

"We're going out at the end of this month. Before we go out, I want you to come to the manor with Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wang to get together."

"Great!"

As they were near the mourning hall, the two children could not show their happiness.

"Brother, can you... tell us in advance when you decide on a date?"

Yueyue rubbed Ye Tianshui to please him. She almost wanted to plead for her parents, but she braked in time.

Ye Tianshui knew very well what the two little ones were thinking, but he didn't have such ideas, and no one could force him.

The three siblings talked for a while, and when they saw Ye Jianfeng coming out, they left quickly.

This kind of place is not suitable for greeting each other.

"Little sister, be careful with your words next time. Don't say anything that will embarrass me."

When they reached the place where the bicycles were parked, Yun Feiyang carefully reminded Yun Yueyue.

He was startled just now and was worried that his little sister would speak out what she was thinking.

Yun Yueyue sighed softly:

"I know, second brother, Dad comes home less and less often now, and Mom has gone to work in Grandma's laboratory, often working overtime or even not coming home.

Although we have become much closer, I still feel that our home is too lonely.”

"You'll get used to it. In the past, mom didn't work and was always at home. Didn't we also stay in our rooms when we got home?

Other people's parents have to go to work, and they all live like this.

Anyway, we live in the school dormitory, so it doesn’t matter if there is anyone at home or not. Things will get better slowly in the future.”

Feiyang persuaded his younger sister.

Two children were pushing their bicycles through the crowd. Ye Tianshui glanced at them from a distance and carried Ye Jianfeng's wheelchair into the car.

"Xiao Shui, those two children are your siblings, right?"

Ye Jianfeng also saw them.

"Yes, I met him today when Qingda came to attend the memorial service."

Ye Tianshui helped Ye Jianfeng position and tie his wheelchair before telling the driver to drive.

Ye Jianfeng: "Let the two children come to the manor to play often in the future. Xiaojin and Xiaoyi like them very much."

Ye Tianshui: "I have already told them that we will have a family gathering at the end of this month, and I have invited my younger brothers and sisters, Grandpa Wen, and Grandma Wang to join us.

After Zi Lan leaves, it will take another half a year for the baby to be one month old. "

"Well, keep these things in mind and invite everyone you need to invite. I don't know when Zi Lan will be back after he leaves.

Also, many people outside already know about Zi Lan’s resignation and have come to me to ask about it.

I might as well tell everyone in my family that Zi Lan is moving to Hong Kong Island.

If we don’t make some things clear ourselves, they will be spread around by people who don’t know the truth and become distorted.”

Ye Jianfeng warned.

The 10th was the day of the opening ceremony of the new museum. Ye Jianfeng selected three paintings and two calligraphy works and sent them to the museum a few days ago.

Ye Tianshui picked out two paintings and sent them to the museum in advance. If he wanted to donate more, he would have to wait until later. This time, he could not exceed Ye Jianfeng in terms of quantity.

The father and son went their separate ways. Ye Tianshui took the two paintings and drove to pick up Zhai Lao and Zhai Chengji as agreed with Zhai Lao.

The part where the two of them copied ancient paintings during the ceremony was arranged as a very important part.

The jobs of the two people have been secured with Ye Tianshui's guarantee.

Mr. Zhai is an expert in identification and restoration.

Zhai Chengji is an antique calligraphy and painting restoration technician and has a formal position.

Normally, Mr. Zhai is already past retirement age, but his superb skills are much needed by the museum.

"Mr. Ye, you are here!"

Zhai Chengji happily supported his grandfather and waited at the door of his house.
