Rebirth: 1977

Su Jianxin prepared to receive Ye Tianshui at his home.

Since he went to work at the Ministry of Public Security, they have met very few times. Sometimes they would go to Lanyuan, and sometimes, at Su Jianxin's home.

Mr. Su has retired, really retired.

He is a sensible man. When he said he would retire, it seemed that he could really turn a blind eye to the official affairs outside the window.

Unless someone is deliberately trying to make him uncomfortable, like his youngest son, who is just confused.

The path that was arranged for him went astray because he listened to the instigation of others.

Since he is disobedient, he is too lazy to care about him. He is already an official, so is he still expecting to educate and discipline him with a stick?

Mr. Su is an open-minded person. He lives in a nursing home in Beidaihe with his wife all year round. He enjoys his life and his children and grandchildren have their own blessings! If you can't control it, just turn a blind eye!

They lived in a three-story villa with its own entrance and yard, front and back yards, and guards, orderlies, nannies, and medical soldiers were all standard.

Those who don't understand always sigh at Mr. Su, saying that he has been through bullets and guns all his life and is covered with wounds, so he should be able to get a good position and continue to be a powerful figure.

Why did Rong retire in obscurity and stop caring about anything?

Start living an ordinary life of drinking tea, playing chess and fishing early on?

Are you willing to be like an ordinary old man?

Mr. Su laughed:

"Just because I have scars all over my body and finally have the good life I have now, why can't I take good care of myself and live a few more years comfortably?"

There are also some people who understand. They think that Mr. Su is very smart and he is making room for his eldest son!

Everyone knows that Su Jianxin, the eldest son of the Su family, is promising. If the old man retires, he will not hinder his son's career.

Su Jianxin was transferred from the army to the public security department. Although he was promoted to deputy minister, he still lived in the old place and did not move.

As the eldest son of the Su family, he originally lived with his father, younger brothers and sisters.

My younger sister got married, and my younger brother Su Jianzhong went into politics, training in the city below and gradually getting promoted.

Only Su Jianxin has never left their Su family's old house, enjoying the treatment his father deserves.

The villa they lived in was a three-story building with five rooms, front and back courtyards and two side wings.

There are five large bungalows in a row in front of the door.

The compound was heavily guarded, and up to now, the accommodation had just met the standards of a vice-minister.

The difference was that he added five guards with him, and the five people brought by Qin Minghua also moved into his compound.

In the big bungalow in front.

Su Xin lives in her mother's house now.

Her brother Su Yang is a battalion commander in the army. His wife's family and the Su family are well matched and they already have a son and a daughter. Now she has joined the army and only goes home once every two or three years.

Ever since her foot was injured by Zhu Mingzhu, she has been recovering from the injury, with a sick leave note and has not gone to work. It was not until she gave birth to her son and her foot injury was fully healed by the full month.

At her age, her company allows her to take 45 days of maternity leave.

When Ye Tianshui went there, she had just been out of confinement for eight days.

Su Jianxin had not yet returned home from get off work, and he was received by Mrs. Su and Su Xin.

He was a frequent visitor here, so he skipped the formalities and polite conversation.

"Sister Su Xin, I see that you are in good health. Brother Tao should be relieved."

"He is so busy that he has no time to worry about us, mother and son.

Zilan is lucky that you are always with her."

Su Xin said with a smile.

Ye Tianshui smiled faintly and shook his head: "Everyone has their own happiness. Although Zi Lan has me to accompany her, my parents-in-law cannot be with her.

You are different. Uncle Su and your mother are with you every day. My Zilan is not as blessed as you."

Madam Su echoed, "Xiao Shui's words make sense. These few years are the most critical time for Ping Tao. We should be more considerate and supportive of him.

Back then, your father and I often didn’t see each other for several years, and I had to worry about him. Now that you have a good life, you should cherish it. "

Ye Tianshui suddenly thought of a sentence: I regret having asked my husband to seek a title.

Ordinary couples quarrel all the time and cannot separate even if they break their heads. That is the life of ordinary people.

But young people who come from official families all understand one thing: if you want to get something, you have to give it up first. Only by giving up can you get it.

Those who have no conditions or background and can only be a minor official will naturally go to get off work and come home obediently, and take care of their own families.

For a family like the Su family, whose daughter married a son-in-law like Wu Pingtao, if they wanted him to succeed, they had to give him time and space to grow.

Fortunately, this son-in-law is a very ambitious person, and he doesn't need his family to run around to provide him with resources and connections, so he can have a good future on his own.

There was no real resentment in Su Xin's complaints.

Mrs. Su had a more personal experience and had no complaints at all.

Ye Tianshui took out the gifts that he and Fu Jinyan gave to the child:

"Mrs. Su, Sister Su Xin, this is a gift from Zi Lan and I for our child's full moon."

The child of Wu Pingtao and Su Xin is named Wu Haoran. Wu Pingtao had given this name when he knew that Su Xin was pregnant with a son.

The child's household registration will be handled in person by his father after he returns home. After all, the household registration book has the trace of the eldest son "Wu Jie".

Su Xin has never touched her household registration book since Xiaojie passed away, for fear of touching the bone-eating pain deep in her heart.

He had originally prepared a gold lock for his child, but when he saw Fu Jinyan bought it, he couldn't duplicate it.

If it were any other child, it wouldn't matter how many precious and auspicious gold locks they gave him.

After all, it has added value, who doesn’t like it?

But this child's situation was special. Two golden locks were given to her by Ye Tianshui at once. Even if they knew that they were given by two people, it would inadvertently stir up ripples in the hearts of Su Xin and her relatives.

Xiaojie is a hurdle that they can never overcome, a thorn that they can only carefully avoid and not touch.

So, he exchanged the gold lock in his hand for the gold necklace that Fu Jinyan liked.

He also had a jade pendant, which was carved from a piece of crystal clear glass-type jadeite.

Ye Tianshui did not take the ready-made ancient jade, although it was priceless, he was wary of it.

Who knows how many dead people have worn these things?

Moreover, the jade he chose was of the finest quality, which he had commissioned Sang Nianzhong to mine and select from his own jade mine.

The jade pendant was carved by a master carver from the best handicraft factory. One side is engraved with the child's zodiac sign "Rat" and the year, month and day of the child's birth.

On the other side is the child's name.

Owning such a jade pendant is not only valuable, but also has extraordinary significance.

This piece of jade is very large. After it was discovered, it has been treasured by Ye Tianshui and can be carved into many jade pendants.

Ye Chen also has a jade pendant of the same quality.

Even Ye Jin and Ye Yi each filled in a piece, including Xiao Zhan's two sons, and Ye Tianshui was not leaked.

After carving six jade pendants from the piece of jade, Ye Tianshui still had most of the raw material left in his hands as a treasure.

Sang Nianzhong reminded him that glass-type jadeite as good as this one is extremely rare.

The jewelry box for the gift is made of very precious "cherry wood" and auspicious clouds are carved on the box.

The carving master said that the most precious pattern should be the dragon, but most people would not use it.

Auspicious clouds have good meanings, representing happiness, well-being, health and peace.

Best gift for kids.

Su Xin and her mother were both knowledgeable people. Not to mention the value of the gold necklace, the jade pendant alone was not an ordinary item.

“Xiao Shui, you have already engraved your name on this jade pendant, so we will accept it, but we cannot accept the gold necklace.

You also gave birth to a son, and we don’t know what to give him, so we are waiting for Ping Tao to come back and make a decision.”

Before Mrs. Su could say anything, Su Xin expressed her position and resolutely pushed the gold collar back to Ye Tianshui.
