Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Master Chen asked, "What do you want to talk to his parents about? You can tell me."

The teacher hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright then! Here's the thing: the children here all have parents who hold important positions in their families. Every day we teach them the 'Five Stresses, Four Beauties, and Three Loves,' encouraging them to study hard and become pillars of the nation in the future. But I've noticed that when Jiang Chuyi is playing, he talks to the other children about being good brothers and being loyal, and how to fight if you disagree! If the other children learn this and tell their parents, they'll think we're not a kindergarten, but a street performer!"

Master Chen: "...It's probably from listening to storytelling. Thank you for your help, teacher. We'll definitely be more careful when we get back and not let the children listen to such nonsense!"

"That's good! I didn't mean anything by it. Jiang Chuyi is a very smart and obedient child, and he can even help the teacher manage the other children!"

After saying goodbye to his teacher, Uncle Chen walked home, laughing all the way. When he got home and saw the old cripple, he laughed out loud again.

"What did the teacher say?" the old cripple asked, "That made you so happy?"

When Uncle Chen repeated his teacher's words, the old cripple was also quite amused.

Yingzi said, "It's all because his father doesn't watch his words. When he gets back, I'll deal with both of them together!"

Before he could finish speaking, someone knocked on the door.

When Uncle Chen got close enough to open the door, he saw Luo Jianshe standing outside with a smile on his face.

"Fifth Master Chen!"

"The construction team is here? Why aren't you at work today?"

As the two walked inside, talking, Yingzi asked, "Did something happen again?"

"Alright!" Luo Jianshe raised his hand. "I look like this now? Does that mean something bad has happened?"

Yingzi laughed, "Think about it yourself!"

Luo Jianshe didn't need to think about it. He was too busy with work to come over. Even if he did come, it would be because he had something to say or something had happened.

"It seems...that's how it is!" Luo Jianshe laughed heartily, and everyone else laughed along with him.

"Come inside and sit down!" said the old cripple. "Old Chen, you go in with him for tea and a chat. I'll wash my hands and be right back."

Once inside, Luo Jianshe took off his coat and hat, sat down at the table, and said, "You've all guessed wrong. I'm not here because something bad has happened again, but to bring you good news."

"Good news?" Yingzi brought him some tea leaves, and Luo Jianshe brewed the tea himself. "What good news? Is Xiaoping pregnant again?"

“…No, not at all!” Luo Jianshe shook his head. “I’d like to too, but we should let things take their course! Alright, let’s get down to business!” He continued after seeing the old cripple come in, “Jiang Sen is coming back. He really made a great contribution this time! However, we’re not allowed to say anything from above, so I came to let you know first.”

"Made a great contribution? What did he do this time?" Yingzi's first reaction was that Jiang Sen was causing trouble outside again. "He's been gone for almost a year, only made a few phone calls, and didn't say what he was doing, just that he was busy."

Luo Jianshe said, "I can't really say what I did, but I can tell you that I made a very great contribution this time."

"Let's put aside whether he's made any contributions or not. If he doesn't come back soon, Tiger won't even recognize him!" Yingzi didn't care about any of that.

Luo Jianshe laughed, "That's beyond my control!"

Master Chen asked, "After all this talk, when is he finally coming back?"

"It should be in the next day or two!" Luo Jianshe thought for a moment, rolling his eyes. "It'll be either tomorrow or the day after!"

In fact, Jiang Sen returned that very night.

Around 2 a.m., he opened the front door and quietly entered the house with Qianmian and Han San.

They didn't want to bother their family and thought they'd talk about it tomorrow morning.

However, as soon as they came in and closed the door, they turned around and found Master Chen standing in front of them, which startled them.

"Master!"

"Fifth Master Chen!"

"Old man!"

Several people exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Master Chen sneered, "So you know how to come back, huh? Coming in like this in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid I won't see you clearly and will just kill you?"

The three quickly smiled apologetically, and Jiang Sen said, "We weren't afraid of disturbing you."

"Don't you know whether it's noisy or not? Hurry up and go back inside! We'll talk about it tomorrow!" Master Chen turned and went back to the side room. Once inside, a smile appeared on his serious face. He whispered to the old cripple on the other side, "It's those guys who are back!"

Everyone went back to their own rooms, and they didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky.

Han San missed Karina giving birth, and now, looking at his twins, he's grinning like a fool.

Yingzi pretended to slap him, "Are you stupid? It's so cold, go inside and warm up!"

When Hu Zi saw Jiang Sen, he was indeed stunned for a while before calling out "Dad!" and hugging his neck tightly, refusing to let go, and even refusing to go to kindergarten!

"I'm not going! I'm not going!" Jiang Sen said. "I only have a few days of vacation left, so I'm not going!"

Yingzi glared at him, "You're the one who spoils him!"

Soon after, Wang Jianguo, Luo Jianshe, and the others arrived upon hearing the news, and the courtyard and house were once again packed with people.

Lu Jiefang also came with Alyosha, and they were overjoyed to see that Karina had given birth to twins.

“Kasha, Eva!” Alyosha gave two names directly.

Han San said, "Han Qing, Han Zhuo!"

The two glared at each other, neither willing to back down.

Everyone else laughed happily.

In the evening, Lu Wanping and Shao Hong also brought their daughters, turning the backyard into a small kindergarten. Several women watched from the sidelines while the other men talked in front.

Lu Jiefang called Jiang Sen aside and said, "Jiang Sen, come with me to the higher-ups in a couple of days."

“Okay!” Jiang Sen did not refuse this time. After all, the “gambling ship” was able to return smoothly, and even if there was no reward, the higher-ups would make some kind of gesture in person.

“Do you know?” Lu Jiefang said, “Many people spend their entire lives and still can’t reach what you have achieved.”

Jiang Sen laughed and said, "It was just a coincidence! If I were still in the Great Northern Wilderness, I would probably still be a wild boy dealing in mountain products."

"What are you going to do next?"

Jiang Sen thought for a moment, then looked up at the sky. It was a clear blue sky without a cloud, and there wasn't a breath of wind in the air.

"I don't plan to do anything! I'll just stay home with my wife and kids, and if possible, I'll open a small restaurant."

Lu Jiefang was stunned. "What do you think you're going to do?"

"Open a small restaurant!"

"You? The big boss of Johnson Controls Group, you want to open a small restaurant?"

Jiang Sen grinned. "What? Am I really that out of touch with reality? Opening a small restaurant and making a living is my ultimate goal in this life!"

A burst of laughter came from behind him. It turned out that Luo Jianshe was announcing that he was going to be a father again.

Wang Jianguo was also unconvinced, saying that he would be close to achieving the same goal.

Hu Zhiqing smiled calmly, "We're getting ready to get our marriage certificate."

Dashanzi has returned to work at the head office and was present this time, bringing with him a girl he met in Shencheng.

"So do we!"

"Can we do it all at once?" Luo Jianshe asked. "Bring everyone who needs to be brought here, and notify everyone who needs to be notified. Let's do it all in Kyoto!"

Wei San was also there with Xia Tian. They had already registered their marriage and held a low-key wedding without asking anyone else to help with the arrangements, for fear of frightening Xia Tian's parents. At this moment, Xia Tian's belly was slightly protruding.

The most surprising thing was that Shuai Qiang and He Juan got their marriage certificate without telling anyone. They had a family dinner at Shuai Qiang's house and didn't inform anyone.

Jiang Sen turned to look at Lu Jiefang, "Brother Lu, when is it your turn?"

Lu Jiefang's smile froze. "Why are you talking about me again?"

Alyosha leaned closer, "Lu, I heard that guy in Europe is still waiting for you!"

Lu Jiefang dragged Alyosha to the base of the wall.

Jiang Sen let out a breath and looked up at the sky again. He didn't know when Master Chen had walked over.

"Fifth Master Chen, do you think we're having a dream? When we wake up, will we be back to where we started?"

Uncle Chen said, "I don't know if it's a dream or not. I only know that the results of the paternity test on the things you sent me back before are in."

Jiang Sen was taken aback. He quickly took the document from Chen Wuye's hand, glanced at the last page, and then turned to call out, "Qianmian! Come out here for a moment, I have something to tell you!"

……

This novel is now complete.

An open ending leaves countless possibilities for the future. It is hoped that everyone will live a life without regrets, after all, rebirth can only happen in novels.

See you next time!
