Rebirth: 1977

It is early winter and the temperature in the capital has not dropped yet.

The two children were sweating after playing, and Ye Tianshui helped Ye Yi take a bath.

Ye Jin had a caregiver who was responsible for washing her, and Zi Lan was beside her.

"Mom, I also want Dad to help me wash. Dad doesn't like Xiao Jin."

The little girl spoke with some grievance, but she didn't make a noise.

Zi Lan smiled and said:

"Of course Daddy likes Xiaojin, but Xiaojin, you are already three years old and a big girl. Only mommy or grandma can help you bathe.

But you see, there is a little sister in mommy’s belly, so I can only let Auntie Xiaoqu help you wash. "

Xiao Jin opened her eyes wide and said in a daze:

"Why can't girls take baths with their dads when they grow up?"

"Our little Jin has grown up, and girls and boys should sleep and bathe separately.

Your father is a man, and when you grow up, you can wash yourself."

Zi Lan explained patiently, without saying any more because the child was still young after all.

"Mom, you're carrying a little brother in your belly, why do you say it's a little sister?"

Ye Jin asked seriously.

Zi Lan smiled in surprise: "Really? Our Xiao Jin is so smart. Xiao Jin, do you like your brother or sister?"

Ye Jin thought about it seriously and said, "Mom, I like my brothers and sisters. Please give birth to more children for me to play with."

The nurses Xiaoqu and Hua Zilan were both amused:

"Young Madam, it's very accurate to say whether the child is a boy or a girl. The one in your belly is definitely a little boy."

Zi Lan stroked her belly and smiled softly, "Boys and girls are the same, we like both."

In the evening, Ye Tianshui took out a land purchase application, which he had written and kept with him for some time.

"Zi Lan, tomorrow we will go to the Land Management Bureau in the suburban county. I told you that I would build houses for the men who follow me.

I had submitted it a long time ago, but when you said you were going to resign and move your household registration to Hong Kong Island, it was put on hold. "

"Why do you want me to go with you?"

Zi Lan asked doubtfully.

"The land was purchased in your name, so the applicant changed your name. Of course, you have to submit the application documents."

Ye Tianshui explained.

"Why put it under my name? Can't you just take care of it?"

Ye Tianshui thought about it and decided to reveal a little information to Zi Lan. It didn’t matter whether she believed it or not.

"Zi Lan, if I tell you that those lands will be very valuable in the future, would you believe me?"

"Land is valuable?" Hua Zilan looked at Ye Tianshui and nodded when he saw that he didn't seem to be joking.

"I believe you, but why do you want to put it under my name? Does it have anything to do with whether it's worth money?"

Ye Tianshui laughed and rubbed Zi Lan's face:

“It’s a little bit of a connection. You will be an overseas Chinese in the future. No matter how much assets you have, no one can control you.

It’s different for me. As a government official, I’m bound by many rules and regulations. If I’m too rich, I might get into trouble.”

Hua Zilan's expression became serious, and he said cautiously:

"Xiao Shui, the overseas Chinese's assets may not be preserved. What if..."

What was the "what if" that Hua Zilan was talking about? Ye Tianshui knew that the country would undergo earth-shaking changes in the future, and he also knew that this "what if" was very unlikely.

“Don’t worry, after the country’s reform and opening up, more and more foreign businessmen and enterprises have come to invest, and what you are worried about will not happen again.

The land we are applying for now is in a mountainous area with mostly wasteland and few villages nearby.

We will submit the application first, and it will take some time for them to review and approve it. Maybe by then your child will be born."

Ye Tianshui also didn’t know how long it would take to complete the normal application without any interference from the leadership.

"How much land do we need to buy? You didn't write it above."

Zi Lan read the application carefully and then asked.

"I'm not sure how much I can apply for. We'll go there tomorrow and discuss the decision with them.

At the very least, I want to buy about 500 acres.

If we can buy more, one thousand to two thousand acres will be fine.”

Hearing this, Hua Zilan was shocked:

"Xiao Shui, what do we need so much land for? It's a waste of money."

"Hehe."

Ye Tianshui smiled happily and whispered into Zi Lan's ear:

"Don't worry, it won't be wasted. The price of land is very cheap now. Even if you buy it and leave it there, you will make money every day."

Zi Lan was surprised and asked in disbelief:

"Xiao Shui, how much is one acre of land now? Will it really increase greatly in the future?"

Ye Tianshui asked Sang Nianzhong to buy the land for the warehouse, which was a little over 500 acres.

There is some wasteland nearby, and because a small part of the factory is also included in it, the average price for land transfer is 5,000 yuan per acre.

The land that Ye Tianshui wants to buy now is even farther away from the capital, and includes barren mountains, wastelands and wasteland.

There are not many vegetable plots and farmlands.

He learned from other sources that it would not exceed 2,500 acres.

Ye Tianshui doesn't like to rely on connections and personal relationships to do everything. Things that can be solved with money are not a problem for him!

"Oh, don't you hate talking about money? Don't worry, our family is not short of money.

We will have to negotiate to find out how much it costs per acre. After we buy the land, we will build a few buildings and give each of them one.

In the future, we can bring their wives and children to live with us.

And there are elementary schools, middle schools and high schools in the suburbs, so if they have children, schooling is not a problem.”

At this point, Ye Tianshui suddenly clapped his hands excitedly. Isn’t that a suburban county?

The future Third Ring Road is still a rural area now, so it shouldn’t be difficult to move their household registration there, right?

In a few years, they will all have Beijing household registration!

Oh, Ye Tianshui had never thought about this before. He had encountered a good era and was able to save the country in a roundabout way. Hahaha, that's great!

Most of his subordinates came from remote rural and mountainous areas, and obtaining a Beijing household registration was something they would never hope for in their entire lives.

Zi Lan was happy to see Ye Tianshui happy, so she was also happy:

"That's it. It can help their children go to school, and they will feel more at ease following you to work."

Ye Tianshui did not even mention such an important matter as household registration in front of Zi Lan until he was sure it had been resolved.

"Go to sleep, it's too hard for you to carry the baby."

Ye Tianshui gently hugged Zi Lan, tucked the quilt around her shoulders, and lay down beside her.

"Xiao Jin said that I'm pregnant with a little brother."

Zi Lan leaned on Ye Tianshui's shoulder and said with a soft smile.

"No matter what, we like both sons and daughters."

The next day, Ye Tianshui took Zi Lan to the Land Management Bureau in the suburban county, and Chen Jun drove.

A small county town on the outskirts of Beijing, an important district in the future, has not yet prospered.

They walked into the Land Management Bureau and followed the sign above the office door to find the director's office.

A middle-aged man with a big belly, which was rare in this era, and a slicked-back hair.

With a greasy face, he was scolding the young man who made tea for him.

Seeing Ye Tianshui and the other two standing at the door, he frowned and was about to scold them, but he discovered that the men who came were handsome, dignified, and had extraordinary bearing.

Although the woman was pregnant, she was still beautiful and elegant, and she immediately smiled flatteringly:

"Excuse me, who are you looking for? What's the matter?"

Ye Tianshui asked politely:

"We are here to see Director Kuang. What is your name?"

Ye Tianshui speaks the Beijing accent of the inner city of Beijing, which only the locals of Beijing can distinguish.

In addition, Ye Tianshui was gradually showing the aura of a superior, and Director Kuang was also a senior official, so he could naturally feel it.

He immediately stood up, flattered, and the smile on his face deepened a little:

"That's me, that's me, I don't know... Leader, oh, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Jun stepped forward and explained his purpose:

"This is Mr. Ye and his wife. They want to come to your place to buy land and build a building."
