Rebirth: 1977

Lei Huanwen's purpose in coming to the capital was to know about Grandma Ding's current situation.

It just so happened that Yin Tianshui had always cared about if he could help Grandma Ding contact her son.

"Grandma Ding, Minister Lei has been promoted to a provincial minister.

He has an acquaintance in Hong Kong Island and knows that your two sons have been inquiring about your whereabouts. "

Yin Tianshui explained Lei Huanwen's purpose straight to the point.

Lei Huanwen quickly explained:

"Yes, Aunt Shen, your son and the others care about you and miss you very much. They have been trying to find a way to find a chance to see you."

"My son? Do you know where my son is? How are they now? Are they okay?"

Grandma Ding looked at Lei Huanwen in surprise and smiled happily, but her eyes became increasingly wet and misty inside.

Lei Huanwen: "According to my acquaintances, they are very good and have business in several countries.

I just miss you in my heart and go to Hong Kong Island from time to time to inquire about you--. "

Yin Tianshui's thoughts moved quickly. He looked at Lei Huanwen and asked:

"Uncle Lei, can they enter the country now?"

Lei Huanwen shook his head:

"They have now settled abroad. If they have a Hong Kong registered permanent residence, they can still think of ways.

With status like theirs, it is not easy to get a visa. "

Grandma Ding cried and laughed:

"It doesn't matter, knowing that they are all well makes me feel at ease.

Xiaolei, if you have the opportunity, you can convey a message to them, saying don’t worry about me and live their own lives.

I am living a very good life now, with Xiaoshui taking care of me, and Xiaoshui's family respecting me as their elder.

In this life, I am content. "

Grandma Ding said, her tears slowly flowing down, but her eyes were shining with a smile.

Seeing Grandma Ding like this, Yin Tianshui felt uncomfortable and panicked.

In fact, he knows that it will not be long before Hong Kong Island and the Mainland can travel.

Even now, things come and go.

It's just that Grandma Ding's identity is relatively sensitive, so the procedures will be a little more troublesome.

From now on, such troubles will no longer exist.

This is also the reason why Yin Tianshui didn't rush to do it.

"Minister Lei, can you think of a way to help Grandma Ding go through the procedures through the United Front Work Department and let her go to Hong Kong Island to meet her son?"

Yin Tianshui has had this idea for a while, but he just didn't have the right opportunity.

Lei Huanwen was promoted from the city to the province. In Yin Tianshui's impression, he had connections in the country's United Front Work Department.

If he wanted to, he could actually think of something.

The United Front Work Department has a certain influence on these special groups in this era.

"Should I think of a way? Let Aunt Shen go out to meet her son?"

Lei Huanwen obviously had not thought that this problem could be solved in this way. He was a little confused when he heard Yin Tianshui's words.

"That's right, doesn't the United Front Work Department have such capabilities and indicators?

Although Grandma Ding’s status is special, things that happened in a special era, can Uncle Lei apply for special treatment? "

It was already the 1980s, and it was no longer difficult to go to Hong Kong Island. However, Yin Tianshui didn't know what procedures needed to be prepared in that regard.

I believe I can do it with my current connections.

But there is something that someone can do right in front of you, so why waste your favors and time?

Grandma Ding looked at Lei Huanwen in surprise:

"Xiao Lei, do you really have a way for me to go to Hong Kong Island to meet my son?"

She hesitated and looked at Yin Tianshui: "Xiao Shui, this matter is too big, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?

, I--can I really still see my son? "

Now that Yin Tianshui's words have been spoken, even if Lei Huanwen can't do it, he will fulfill Grandma Ding's wish.

"Grandma, this is a relatively big matter, but as long as you find the right person to handle the procedures, there is still hope.

It's just that there may be a slight delay in time. "

He paused for a moment. Yin Tianshui must not stop talking about something that he cannot do directly.

Lei Huanwen sighed deeply and said uncertainly:

"Aunt Shen, I will help you consult on this matter. As long as there is the slightest hope, I will try my best to help you complete the procedures."

Grandma Ding looked at Lei Huanwen's troubled expression, and the smile on her face faded a little:

"Don't embarrass yourself, I should thank you for bringing me this good news.

For the rest, just let nature take its course. "

Lei Huanwen felt a little heavy when he left. On the way, he carefully explained to Yin Tianshui:

"Xiao Shui, it's not that I don't want to help Aunt Shen, the problem is that her two sons are well-known outside.

The resistance to entering our country is relatively high.

The incident in Dingbancheng was a big deal at the time, and there were some words - well... I'll go to the higher-ups to keep an eye on it and ask more questions, but I definitely can't guarantee it. "

"I know, Minister Lei, no one has given you a time for this.

In addition, I see that our country’s policies in this area are gradually liberalizing.

I later heard a lot of rumors about Ding Bancheng, and to be honest, they were indeed a bit extreme.

Just because the son is respectable, we can't restrict the mother and son from seeing each other, right?

Even giving them an apology is not an exaggeration. "

Yin Tianshui's words were a bit blunt, which shocked Lei Huanwen:

"Xiao Shui, you can say this in front of me, but you must never say it casually in front of others, do you understand?"

He sat on Yin Tianshui's motorcycle, leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"This is the capital, watch your mouth, don't let your bright future be ruined by your mouth."

Yin Tianshui smiled. He knew that there was no real freedom of speech. There were so many people in the past twenty years who just failed to control their mouths and ruined their lives.

Lei Huanwen is a veteran.

That kind of "cautiousness" is deeply engraved in my bones.

Lei Huanwen: "Send me to a place where you can come back when you have a chance."

Yin Tianshui saw Lei Huanwen enter the gate of a ministry. Looking at the sign above, he knew it was the building of the CPPCC National People's Congress and the United Front Work Department.

He searched his mind and found that his connections in this area were lacking.

He turned the direction of the motorcycle and set another small goal for himself.

Yin Tianshui rode his motorcycle through the streets and alleys, taking all the twists and turns.

Passing by a street corner, there was a small sign hanging inconspicuously at the door, which was a video studio.

He saw two familiar figures, one tall and one short, walking in and quickly braked.

Yin Tianshui just sat astride the motorcycle and watched young people walking into the small door.

In the early 1980s, there were a few dance halls, and most of them were within units.

But video halls began to sprout up in every nook and cranny like mushrooms after a spring rain.

By the end it was almost everywhere.

After spring this year, young people wearing jeans and bell-bottoms will often be seen on the streets.

All over the country, simple colors of clothing such as black, white, gray and blue are gradually ending.

Music and clothing from Hong Kong and Taiwan enter the mainland through various channels.

In big cities, those educated youth who returned to the city were the first wave to break the dressing 'routine' of more than ten years.

Spring has really come.

In those nooks and crannies that people don't notice, all kinds of 'dross' begin to slowly grow.

The motorcycle Yin Tianshui was riding also aroused the envious eyes of those young people.

lingering on his body and face.

He found that he was too eye-catching now, so he quickly started the car and drove away with a bang.

As soon as he left, Fang Minghui and Yun Tingting turned out of an alley, held hands affectionately, and walked into the video parlor.
