Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui arranged Fu Jinyan's accommodation and prepared to go out:

"Brother Jinyan, the wife of my classmate, Wu Pingtao, the head of Meihua County, also just gave birth to a son, just five days later than my son Zilan.

I have to go visit, you take a rest, I will come back for dinner."

Su Xin gave birth to a son on March 9th.

Wu Pingtao didn't have time to rush back because the road was still under construction. The new county magistrate, who had just taken office, had a lot of things to deal with and there were still many things he needed to familiarize himself with and resolve.

Ye Tianshui talked to him on the phone and he planned to return to Beijing when his child was 100 days old.

It was almost the end of June, and Wu Pingtao said that the road would be open to traffic in the first half of June.

Moreover, the city leaders were very supportive and the city added two long-distance bus trips, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The long-distance buses go directly to Wangjiaping Town.

It's like reaching the foot of the mountain.

This was accomplished thanks to the joint efforts of Ye Tianshui, Wu Pingtao and Bi Tianliang.

Bi Tianliang is an indigenous cadre. He was promoted because there must be leaders in the city who appreciate him.

Of course he had to fight for welfare to help Meihua County get out of poverty.

Wu Pingtao and Ye Tianshui took the upper-level route and reported the matter to the provincial government.

If Meihua County can get rid of poverty, it will not only be a political achievement for the city, but also something the province will be happy to see.

They don't need to pay any price. As long as they give an order to the Provincial Transportation Bureau and ask them to give a document to the municipal leaders and the Municipal Transportation Bureau, the matter will be done.

When Wu Pingtao received this document notification, he and Bi Tianliang immediately convened a meeting of all county party committee and county government cadres to publicly announce the good news.

He also asked everyone to work together to come up with ideas for Meihua County's poverty alleviation and prosperity.

The straight-line distance from Wangjiaping to Meihua County is at most 20 kilometers. The extra 10 kilometers were added because Wu Pingtao made some turns in some places so that the road could benefit all five communes.

Because Ye Tian paid enough water fees, the road ended up being five kilometers longer.

Before this, Wu Pingtao discussed it with Ye Tianshui and implemented it only after getting his consent.

Therefore, this road directly crosses the five communes of Meihua County and can benefit the entire Meihua County.

When the matter was settled, Wu Pingtao called him excitedly:

"Xiaoshui, with this road and the long-distance bus service to the city, people living in remote and isolated mountainous areas can finally get out of the mountains.

I have seen hope. Poverty alleviation in Meihua County is no longer just empty talk or a paper plan. "

Listening to Wu Pingtao's words, Ye Tianshui was of course happy. After spending 500,000 yuan, he would get such a return, and he was also satisfied.

However, the width of that road is still a bit narrow. If there is a car coming from the opposite direction, both cars need to carefully pull over and drive slowly.

Ye Tianshui, who was accustomed to the wide street of Chang'an Avenue and the spacious six-lane road of later generations with cars honking and whizzing past, knew that in Meihua County, SX Province at that time, this road was already very outstanding under his suggestion and the supervision of Wu Pingtao.

The conditions in several surrounding counties are much better than those in Meihua County, but they don't have such a good road.

Ye Tianshui didn’t know in which year the expressway would be built in Meihua County?

Before that, this road will serve as the main artery connecting Meihua County to the outside world for many years to come.

"Well, Brother Tao, you can start drawing a more beautiful blueprint for Meihua County in the next three years."

Ye Tianshui laughed and joked.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wu Pingtao agreed confidently:

"I am now increasingly looking forward to when your investment plan can be put on the agenda and officially started?

Xiaoshui, now I understand why you refuse to be bound by a job.

You can now accompany Zilan and the children without any distractions and with peace of mind. Now that I think about it, I really envy you.

I couldn't be with Su Xin when she was pregnant and giving birth, and I felt sorry for her.

However, few people have your courage and ability.

When are you going to come to my place? Don't keep me waiting."

Wu Pingtao's words made Ye Tianshui laugh: "Brother Tao, you are such a mature man, why are you becoming more and more frivolous now?"

Wu Pingtao raised his eyebrows and smiled. He only felt relaxed and happy when he was communicating with Ye Tianshui.

“I am being lazy, how many people are as lazy as me?

But to be honest, I really enjoy this life with a wife, children and a warm bed.

If I didn't have so many mundane things and responsibilities, I would like to travel around the world with my wife and children.

Hohoho...”

Ye Tianshui laughed as he spoke. He was only 26 years old, but he was already thinking about his life after retirement?

"You can't do this. We brothers all hope that you can come out and do something big as soon as possible."

Wu Pingtao said this with a double meaning.

When they first stepped out of the school gate, Ye Tianshui himself said that in the future they brothers should help each other and reach the top.

"Don't worry, I'm not really resting now. Making money is also an indispensable and important thing in the future. If we have money, we will be strong.

From now on, no matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, don’t even think about showing off in front of us.

I want to go to your place after things in the capital are settled. Then we can come back together and I will go directly to Pengcheng to hold a hundred-day banquet for my son.

Just arrange your work and return to Beijing a few days in advance to accompany Su Xin and see her son, and then return to Meihua County after the child's 100-day banquet.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to attend your son’s 100-day party, and you don’t have time to attend mine.

Forget it, I've also let it go. How can there be a life without regrets?

Brother Tao, there is always work to be done, so you shouldn’t sell yourself out in Meihua County, right?

After accompanying Zi Lan, I realized how great, difficult and arduous it is for a woman to get pregnant and give birth.

I thought to myself that I must find ways to treat my wives better in the future to be worthy of their efforts.”

On the one hand, Ye Tianshui wanted to vent his feelings.

In addition, it is also a disguised way of criticizing your good brother.

Although Wu Pingtao lived a lonely life in his previous life, who knows if Wu Pingtao, whose life has been changed in this life, will make the same mistakes that all men make?

People's hearts are changeable!

When Fu Jinyan heard Ye Tianshui mention that he was his classmate and the county magistrate of Meihua County, he knew it was Wu Pingtao.

"Oh? County Magistrate Wu's wife also gave birth to a son? I remember that his wife's father was Director Su... By the way, he is now Minister Su."

"It's him. He's busy with work and hasn't come back yet. He won't come back until the baby is 100 days old. I'm going to see his baby and also visit Minister Su."

Su Xin gave birth to her child alone in Beijing, so she moved back to her parents' home to recuperate after the baby's birth.

It just so happened that Ye Tianshui went to see Su Xin and the children, and could also meet Su Jianxin.

He had already called the other party, but suddenly remembered that Su Jianxin would come home late, and they still had to talk for a while after they met, so he would not be back for a while.

Wu Songhao kept urging Ye Tianshui to agree to go to his place. It didn't matter if he didn't go to work, he could just take up the position.

At least he would feel at ease if he put his personal file information into Guoan.

Although Ye Tianshui was not planning to go to Wu Songhao, it was inconvenient to talk about it on the phone, so he kept dragging his feet and not giving an answer.

"Brother Jinyan, I'm sorry, I think Minister Su will be home late after get off work, so I can't go home for dinner."

“Don’t worry about me if you have something to do. I’m also an old Beijinger. What are you worried about?

It was you who didn't tell me earlier that Minister Su's daughter, County Magistrate Wu's wife, had given birth to a child, so it was inconvenient for me to visit him.

But you have to give a gift to show your appreciation, right?

Your brother is my brother.”

Although Fu Jinyan is a businessman, he makes friends with high-ranking officials, government heads and royal families of various countries.

He naturally understood the rules of officialdom and would never ask Ye Tianshui to introduce him to Su Jianxin.

As for the domestic officialdom, as long as he maintains a good relationship with Ye Tianshui, then through him as a channel, will he be afraid of a lack of the resources he needs in the country?

But, etiquette cannot be abolished!

"Sorry, I didn't think well."

Ye Tianshui didn’t think that Fu Jinyan’s status was not worthy of getting to know Su Jianxin.

But I really feel that there is no need to stick it on there, it makes everyone uncomfortable.

Some introductions to special relationships require the right time and place to be natural and comfortable for the other party to accept.

"Giving money doesn't seem appropriate. So, let's go to the store and buy a gift for the child. You can bring it to the child for me."

Fu Jinyan put forward his request.

Buying gifts for children? Ye Tianshui immediately thought of the Nian En Zhai that he and Sang Nianzhong opened, where they had gifts suitable for children.

I agreed immediately: "Sure, I'll take you to Xidan Pedestrian Street, there you can find what you need."
