Rebirth: 1977

On May 25, 1982, Grandma Ding passed away.

The old lady passed away peacefully. After she had talked so much with Ye Tianshui, she almost stopped talking. Those words, which were almost like her last words, made Ye Tianshui ponder for a long time.

Could it be that Grandma Ding knew that there was something hidden under the Ding family’s ancestral home?

Did Grandma Ding know that I had dealt with those things?

Ye Tianshui didn't have the chance to ask these questions, and what would be the point of asking?

Those things are destined to never return to the hands of the Ding family. If Ye Tianshui doesn't take them, just like in his previous life, when those things are exposed in broad daylight, someone will blatantly "take them away" all.

Ye Tianshui held Grandma Ding's urn and went to Pingcheng again with Lin Hao and Chen Jun. He placed the old woman's urn next to her husband Ding Baiwan.

That tomb was just a cenotaph for Ding Baiwan, which was built by the government later.

Ye Tianshui sat for a long time at Grandma Ding's grave, accompanied by Li Haomin and Shi Tiezhu.

Two people have already obtained their university self-study examination diplomas.

Ye Tianshui asked Li Haomin on the phone to call a brother to come and help. Shi Tiezhu happened to know about it and he rushed over.

Ye Tianshui invested money and bought a three-room bungalow on a small street in Pingcheng.

It turned out to be a private house. The brothers wanted to divide the property. There were three houses, five brothers and two sisters. How should they divide it?

Finally, the house is sold and the money is divided.

Ye Tianshui bought it at a price almost twice the market price, and the property certificate is temporarily in his own name.

He used the house to open a small restaurant which could accommodate twelve dining tables. Ye Tianshui handed it over to Li Haomin to manage secretly and let Chen Siyuan be the head chef.

This restaurant was opened by Ye Tianshui for Li Haomin and Chen Siyuan, and the profits were divided equally between the two of them.

This was Ye Tianshui's last kindness to Yin Yuling. In his previous life, the 'elder sister' who took care of him on the hospital bed was deeply engraved in his heart.

He realized that Yin Yuling could only live a dull life, so the name of the restaurant was changed to Li Haomin's wife.

Ye Tianshui asked Li Haomin to supervise Chen Siyuan and not to tell Yin Yuling about this. Chen Siyuan had shares in the restaurant and he was only hired at a high salary to be in charge of the kitchen.

"Director Ye, let's go. The train is almost due. Let's take you to the train station."

Li Haomin urged softly.

Ye Tianshui has not had the chance to tell anyone about his new job, and it is not convenient to tell anyone for the time being.

Su Jianxin retained the position and departmental establishment given to Ye Tianshui, and his subordinates were still under the leadership and control of Ye Tianshui.

Ye Tianshui stood up silently, brushed off the mud on his body, and looked at Shi Tiezhu who looked honest.

He still grinned at Ye Tianshui with his big white teeth.

“Shi Tou, even if you have a diploma, you still have to keep studying when you have time.

You two should remember this, opportunities are given to those who are prepared. Don't look at those people around you who are not motivated and are just getting by.

Other brothers, you should always urge them to study for a few more years. It would be best if they can get a diploma. Even if they don’t, the knowledge they have learned is theirs.”

"Director Ye, I have always remembered your words. They must be correct. Just look at Wen Feng. You forced him to study back then, but now he is a well-known university student and a cadre."

Shi Tiezhu said in a sonorous tone.

Li Haomin sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards the train station.

"Director Ye, don't worry, those brothers are all great, and they haven't forgotten your support and gifts.

I also often supervise them in their work. ”

At the ticket gate of the train station, Li Haomin held Ye Tianshui's hand and made a solemn statement.

"Good job!"

Ye Tianshui waved goodbye. This time when he came to Pingcheng, he didn't have time to visit Hua Guilan and Qiao Zhenhua.

Watching the train moving farther and farther away from Pingcheng, Ye Tianshui felt a little depressed. He felt a little less concerned about this place.

After returning to Beijing, Ye Tianshui shifted his work focus completely to his new job.

The Central Advisory Commission has more than 170 members, most of whom are elderly and sick and work from home.

The workload of twenty secretaries is too heavy to handle, and it is impossible to provide point-to-point services.

Fortunately, every old leader has his own secretary, guards and orderlies.

Despite this, Ye Tianshui quietly made a suggestion to Ye Jianfeng:

"Dad, we should hire some more secretaries. Twenty of us can't handle it all.

Old leaders all have their own personalities and tempers. If their opinions and suggestions are not fed back to us immediately, they will misunderstand that we are being passive and slacking off.

But you also know that we have to reorganize the information provided, we have too few staff, and the consultants live in different places, so it will inevitably take time. "

Ye Jianfeng also realized the problem raised by Ye Tianshui. Like him, he usually worked in his own manor.

Among the entire advisory committee, although he has a disability, he is still relatively young, in good health and with clear thinking.

As for the leaders that Ye Tianshui had been promised would be selected for him, Ye Tianshui did not have many opportunities to get close to them and serve them.

People like Ye Tianshui and his group of secretarial officials are called secretaries, but in fact they are mostly doing odd jobs.

"I would suggest that you guys work harder for now. We are all working and gaining experience at the same time. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you get things sorted out, the workload will decrease."

When another batch of secretaries were recruited, it was already the end of the year.

The New Year of 1983 has arrived.

Ye Jin and Ye Yi are one year older. Under Ye Yiling's guidance, the two children can eat by themselves and put away their own toys.

Hua Guoxing even secretly started training the two children without telling Ye Tianshui and Hua Zilan.

Ye Yiling couldn't bear to see the child suffer, so she scolded him a few times. But who knew that Ye Jin himself came to like the training given by his grandfather.

Ye Yi likes quietness and often plays hide-and-seek with his grandfather so that Hua Guoxing can't find him.

But Ye Yiling actually knew where he hid every time, and she would just watch the grandfather and grandson play cat and mouse with a smile.

On the day of the Little New Year's Eve, Ye Tianshui met Sang Nianzhong in "Lanyuan".

After not seeing each other for a few months, Sang Nianzhong's hair had become much darker and his complexion was becoming more and more rosy.

He handed the account book to Ye Tianshui:

"Mr. Ye, our earnings for the second half of this year are all here. The cash income from three branches, a handicraft factory, and a mine is a little over 100 million yuan in total.

We also have some high-quality jade and jadeite that have been processed into finished products. Do you think they can be sold in our store?

Or do you continue to let your friends sell it?

How to deal with it is up to you.”

Ye Tianshui looked at the account book and felt satisfied.

"You calculate the price of the finished products according to our sales price and give them all to me. I will buy them at my price and hand them over to my friend to handle."

These finished products cannot be sold at a high price in China, so he plans to give them to Fu Jinyan to take to auction outside.

They then distribute the profits.

Not only will Sang Nianzhong, the shareholder, not suffer any loss, he can also make several times more profit and make money together with the brothers Fu Jinyan and Tong.

Sang Nianzhong took out several other account books, which were the income books of the other two mines jointly developed by him and brothers Fu Jinyan and Tong Dawei.

"Master Ye, those two mines may not look as big as our jade mine, but the quality of the jade they dig out is not bad at all.

The total income is over 200 million yuan. I will deposit all of it into foreign banks as you instructed."

The money figures they mentioned are not RMB, because they are deposited in foreign banks and are calculated in British pounds.

Ye Tianshui allocated all the part that belonged to Sang Nianzhong to him. In addition, he took out one million RMB and asked him to give bonuses to the miners and mine guards.

He also took out 300,000 yuan of his own money to give bonuses to 30 soldiers stationed on the border who were always monitoring the safety of the three mines.

All these things must be sent out before New Year's Eve so that everyone can have a happy new year.

On New Year's Eve, Ye Tianshui and his friends had just sat down at the dinner table when Chen Jun hurried in with a serious face and whispered in Ye Tianshui's ear to report the situation.

Hua Zilan was sitting nearby and heard part of the content. He looked at Ye Tianshui in surprise and asked him in a low voice:

"Is everything he said true?"
