Rebirth 05, starting from never dusting

After two days of busy work, under my mother's management, the old house finally had a New Year atmosphere.

My eldest brother had planned to make more fireworks this year, but my mother scolded him and told him not to waste the money when it would be better to keep some for his living.

In desperation, the eldest brother had to buy some fireworks symbolically, but he still felt unsatisfied, so he instigated Zhang Yi to buy some.

Because if Zhang Yi buys it, his mother won’t scold him, she will even praise him.

"You bought quite a lot of these." Zhang Yi said, "Besides, our family doesn't need to rely on those things to maintain its reputation. If we put less, people won't think we are doing badly."

"With the money saved, I can buy my sister-in-law some new clothes, or add a little more money to buy some jewelry or something. Isn't that better than fireworks?"

The eldest brother sighed when he heard this, and thought that made sense. It was enough for family members to know how the family was doing, and there was no need to show it to outsiders.

On New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Zhang Teng ran over to remind Zhang Yi.

"Don't forget to send New Year's greetings to all the leaders of Party A."

"Got it." Zhang Yi laughed, picked up his phone and started editing text messages.

"This year, I won't say congratulations on getting rich. I wish us less hard work and more happiness, less worries and more peace. This is from National Supervisor Zhang Yi."

It was sent to several Party A leaders in one go, including Zhu Mingsheng and Liang Shuguang.

After the text messages were sent for a long time, only Zhu Mingsheng and Liang Shuguang replied, and they were all pasted blessing text messages. Not only were they unoriginal, they were not as sincere as the text message Zhang Yi casually edited.

Little did people know that Zhang Yi's New Year greetings message would soon spread in the power industry.

Zhang Yi raised his phone and said to Zhang Teng, "The mission is accomplished!"

Zhang Teng then chuckled, and after completing the task of reminding, he ran to his elder brother to borrow firecrackers.

Well, we didn’t buy many fireworks this year, so my brother can only play with firecrackers.

My mother and sister-in-law started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, my father was preparing the braised meat, and Zhang Yi was playing with his little niece.

In order to prevent my little niece from catching a cold again, my mother has made adequate preparations. Now my little niece is wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket. The house has a local heater and air conditioner on, which can barely keep the temperature similar to that upstairs, but it is still a little cold.

While he was playing, Zhang Yi's cell phone rang.

When my little niece heard the noise, her eyes lit up and she kept asking to play with her cell phone.

Zhang Yi hugged her, took out the broken cell phone from the drawer, removed the battery and let her tinker with it.

Anyway, the two phones are the same, so it’s easy to fool children.

By the time I finished taking care of the child, the cell phone stopped ringing.

The call was from Shen Ye, and Zhang Yi called back immediately.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, what are you doing? You haven't answered the phone for so long."

When the call was connected, Shen Ye's voice was filled with resentment.

Zhang Yi said, "What else can I do? I'm looking after my niece. What instructions did Mr. Shen give me on the phone?"

"No, you got into trouble at the annual meeting. Don't you want to call and pay a visit?"

"Why return the visit? What if you get angry and scold me?"

"Fuck!" Shen Yete was speechless. What this guy said made a lot of sense.

"If you can't even handle such a small matter, won't you be dominated by your wife when you get married in the future?"

"I... okay, okay, I can't argue with you, okay?" Shen Ye sighed.

"How is it? Did you get it?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Hold your hammer!" Shen Ye said, "I don't have your skills. We need to get a marriage certificate before we can officially live together."

Zhang Yi said: "What are we waiting for? Let's take her to get the marriage certificate as soon as we get back to work after the Spring Festival."

"You think I don't want to? This thing requires engagement first, then getting a marriage certificate. At least the procedures must be completed. It's more troublesome for me to get married."

Shen Ye continued, "Let's make a deal first. You and Jiaxin are not going to get married before me, and you still have to be my best man."

"Damn it, can this thing be negotiated?" Zhang Yi cursed upon hearing this.

The two chatted for a long time before Shen Ye explained his purpose, which was to find out about the trouble Hong Sihai had encountered.

Zhang Yi repeated what he knew. Actually, what Lao Hong said was very simple and he didn't even mention the other party's name. Anyway, this matter was a piece of cake for Shen Ye. During the spring inspection next year, he could just ask Shen Lao Er to carefully check the qualifications of the personnel for the labor subcontracting.

"When will you start work next year?" Shen Ye asked.

"After the Lantern Festival, but I have to go back early to record classes, as I am planning to prepare to become a first-level cost estimator," said Zhang Yi.

Not only the first-level construction, but also the second-level construction course recordings.

The second construction is relatively simpler, so Zhang Yi plans to concentrate his efforts on finishing the first construction first.

There are also a lot of things to deal with, such as the recruitment of new project personnel in Licheng District and Zhouping City, and the planning and arrangement of face-to-face classes in the province.

This year, the face-to-face supervision classes in other cities in the province will be mainly conducted by Wang Li, Sun Li, Sun Hongmei and Shao Hua. The fees will be appropriately reduced to improve their teaching experience.

As for Quanshui City, the face-to-face classes at the home venue still need to be supported by Zhang Yi, Xu Ying and Cheng Huanli. After all, this is the company's face.

"Let's get together after the holidays." Shen Ye made an appointment for dinner.

Zhang Yi said: "No problem, but you can't drink."

"What's the point of getting together without drinking? We have to drink."

"I plan to have kids and quit drinking!"

"Fuck!" Shen Ye was irritated again and hung up the phone cursing.

Zhang Yi was in a very good mood.

Although he said he would quit drinking, Zhang Yi still drank a little with his father and elder brother during the New Year’s Eve dinner, otherwise the reunion dinner would not be complete.

After dinner, Zhang Yi didn’t watch the Spring Festival Gala. Instead, he ran to his room and called Xu Ying to wish her a happy new year. After not seeing each other for a few days, the couple spent at least half an hour on the phone.

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, the sound of firecrackers could still be heard in the village.

Zhang Yi thought about it and called Lulu.

"Happy New Year, brother."

"Happy New Year, what are you doing?"

"We have New Year's Eve dinner here. We eat until late at night. The New Year atmosphere is very strong." Lulu said, "Brother, how about you?"

"I'm lying in bed calling you to wish you a happy new year." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Not keeping watch?" Lulu asked.

"I'm old now, and I don't like to tinker with that."

"Tsk, you're only 24, only one year older than me."

Then the two fell silent. They could hear each other's breathing, the sporadic sound of firecrackers, and the happy atmosphere of Lulu's New Year's Eve dinner.

"Brother...my family is calling me." Lulu broke the silence.

"Well, go ahead and spend some time with your family."

"Happy New Year." Lulu said again, and Zhang Yi repeated the blessing.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yi fell into a state of great emptiness.

Next year, Lulu and her family must be persuaded to move to Quanshui for a while to avoid the natural disaster.

Although he is a reborn person, there are some things he can do easily.

But there are some things that you can't do anything about even if you try your best.

Just be yourself.
