Rebirth: A Life Without Regrets

  Even if he himself is a reincarnated person, he cannot alter and control the cycle of life and death!

  After Grandpa's death, the cold and icy emotions had been low for a long time. Even when he saw his uncle Leng Yun Gang's family and his third uncle Leng Yun Zhi's family at Grandpa's funeral, whom he rarely saw since his rebirth, he couldn't cheer up. His uncle's family was in Shu Du, and his third uncle's family was in Chun Cheng. Due to geographical restrictions, they had little contact with them in their previous life until later when he went to work in Shu Du and had more interactions with his uncle's family. Only the Leng Yun Hua family within Chang Fu City had a very close relationship, especially the two sons of his fourth uncle's family, who were similar in age to him and grew up playing together since childhood.

  However, this time, Leng Bing Han really didn't have the mood to play with these two cousins again, and instead chose to quietly keep vigil for his grandfather.

  The cold indifference was visible to everyone, but the adults were either too busy and had no time to consider a child's emotions, or perhaps thought it unnecessary. Alternatively, they were shocked and didn't know what to say to comfort a child who wasn't even three years old, especially since this child wasn't as easy to console as others.

  It wasn't until several months later that the cold and icy mood gradually improved. After all, the deceased is gone, and the living must continue to live happily.

  "What is life like? It's just like a wild goose flying over snowy mud. The mud occasionally retains the marks of its footprints, but the goose flies away and doesn't care about east or west." Time flies by like this, and in the blink of an eye our little cold ice has grown to be three years old.

  In July 1982, with the guidance of the Suqi Town Government, a state-owned kindergarten was opened locally. The tuition for one semester was 23 yuan, which doesn't sound like much, but at that time, Gong Yun's monthly salary was only 55 yuan (I don't know if this is true or not, let's just assume it is). Generally speaking, rural families were still reluctant to spend that much money, after all, 23 yuan could buy a lot of rice and eggs.

  After discussion, Leng Yun and Li Yuafen decided to send Leng Binghan to kindergarten. On the one hand, they were responding to the call and supporting the government's work. The government-run kindergarten was not even attended by the deputy district head's children, so what would others think? On the other hand, both husband and wife were very busy and didn't have much time to take care of Leng Binghan, so it was better to send him to kindergarten to learn something.

  Leng Bing Han was originally unwilling to attend kindergarten with a group of kids in his mind, he had also attended kindergarten in his previous life, many children couldn't even dress themselves, let alone take care of themselves, and some would even defecate on their beds or in their pants, just thinking about it made Leng Bing Han's hair stand on end.

  But under his mother Li Yuafen's earnest persuasion and the threat of being spanked, he compromised. It wasn't because he was afraid of getting hit, but rather because he didn't want to make his mother sad or worried. His past life had already caused them enough trouble, so he might as well go along with them a bit more and let them be happy for once. What did he have to lose? Moreover, he had thought it through - kindergarten had so many children, the teachers couldn't possibly keep an eye on each one of them. As long as he behaved himself and was good, he could definitely avoid their attention and do some things on his own, giving him a sense of independence. To think about it, he still hadn't taken out and used the Ming Yuán Jiè Zǐ or the Electric Flash to this day - just thinking about it made his hands and heart itch with longing.

  And so, our genius reincarnated person was sent into the tightly closed gates of kindergarten.

  When Leng Bing Han entered kindergarten, his little friends who often played with him cried and made a fuss about going to kindergarten.

  Actually, before they even started crying and making a fuss, many parents had already been thinking about this matter. Although the kindergarten was a new thing for this small place and no one had heard of it before, think about it, even the village head's child was sent there with confidence, how could it be bad? Moreover, originally the children played together with Xiao Han from the Cold family, listened to him a lot, and became more sensible. These were all seen by them, now that Xiao Han has gone to kindergarten, if they don't send their own children, what will happen in the future when they become naughty again? To be honest, even if they didn't have confidence in the government or the kindergarten, but as for Xiao Han, they had full confidence.

  So, those who had been thinking of sending their children to kindergarten took action hastily. Those who were hesitating also stopped hesitating. Some families were anxious and gritted their teeth, scraping together everything they could to send their children off. Otherwise, every day the wife would point at her husband's head and complain, which wasn't a pleasant thing.

  This time, Chen Yuanchang, the principal of the kindergarten, was originally just an ordinary private teacher, and she was almost 50 years old and had not been converted to a formal position. This time, the town set up a kindergarten, and because of her relationship with the town mayor, she got this opportunity and was sent for three months of preschool education after which she became the first principal of Su Qi's first kindergarten in history.

  Finally, the opportunity for the salted fish to turn over has arrived, and Chen Yuanlong's heart is blooming with joy. However, this joy did not last long. Since it was the first time the garden opened, everyone was still quite cautious and had to spend a lot of money, so many people asked about it, but actually signed up for very few. It has been three days since school started, and there are only four or five children in total. How can this kindergarten continue to operate?

  She's been frowning and worrying, losing sleep and appetite, her hair is almost turning white with worry, but she can't think of a solution, so she keeps looking for the town mayor to come up with a plan. It's not that she's particularly responsible, it's just that she's recently tasted success and doesn't want the kindergarten to fail now, which would mean she'd have to go back to being a private tutor. After all, this kindergarten may be small, but she's still the one in charge.

  Town head Wu Bangqing was also very headache, he was also the town head from the original production team step by step, it was not easy to be appointed as the town head of Su Qi Town at the age of 40, and at that time he was also very proud. But good times did not last long, the county party committee deputy secretary who appreciated him had retired a few years ago, there was no one above him, his official career had been stagnant all the time, even the people under him began to look down on him, and were hypocritical towards him. The deputy town head was even more so, relying on being promoted by the current deputy mayor, he did not put himself in his eyes at all, many times in the meeting gave himself a hard time, hated to quickly get rid of himself, and take his place.

  He treated the opening of the kindergarten as a political achievement. During a New Year's visit to his old leader, he inadvertently heard that the new mayor, Wang Peiyuan, was planning to promote early childhood education in all towns across the city. However, he was worried that if this initiative didn't go well, it would damage his own image. He was hesitant. Then, he had an idea: If he could establish a kindergarten in Suqi ahead of time and create a good starting point for Mayor Wang's initiative, wouldn't that give him a great impression? By clinging to the mighty tree that is Mayor Wang, how could his future prospects not be bright?

  For this gamble, he was in the Standing Committee meeting, contrary to his usual gentle and elegant demeanor, slammed his fist on the table, smashed a teacup, forcibly passed the resolution, allocated 60,000 yuan and land for the construction of this kindergarten.

  If it's done poorly, not only will the money be wasted, but they'll also be accused of being arbitrary and dictatorial, doing things their own way, wasting government funds on face-saving projects, etc. That's just how government works - if you do well, you're strategic and decisive, with a strong sense of leadership; if you don't, you're being arbitrary and dictatorial, and this is especially true when many people are waiting to see you fail so they can step on you and climb up themselves. Especially that deputy town head who's just waiting for him to make a mistake so he can take advantage of it and bring him down.

  Just as they were in a dilemma, unexpectedly, the situation took a 180-degree turn in less than two or three days. Not only did almost all the eligible children in the town arrive, but also many children from nearby villages came, and within a few days, there were more than 240 children, which was far beyond the capacity of the original three classes. Wu Zhenchang and Chen Yuanzhang had to report this major achievement to their superiors and apply for support, although applying for support was secondary, the main focus was on reporting their work.

  Mayor Wang is worried about how to promote this work. Recently, the central government has been advocating for education to start from an early age and vigorously promoting preschool education. Mayor Wang also hopes to make this a breakthrough as a new official, so as to quickly open up the situation, carry out work, although he has a background in the province, after all, is an outsider, if can't open up the situation for a long time, the work will be very passive.

  At this moment, a town suddenly sent a message that a kindergarten in the town had more than 240 children enrolled, which is even more than the number of children in an urban kindergarten. Doesn't this just show that there is such a need in rural areas? It's as if someone was waiting for him to ask and then handed it to him on a silver platter, making Mayor Wang extremely happy. Not only did he personally meet with Wu Bangqing, but also immediately allocated 7 or 8 kindergarten teachers and related educational and recreational equipment, and even decided to visit Su Qi Kindergarten to inspect the work.

  The mayor personally inspected the work, what an honor is this? At this moment, Wu Bangqing not only let out a sigh of relief and survived this difficult time, but also felt fortunate that he had finally made the right bet. From adversity to prosperity, following Mayor Wang's footsteps from now on, how could there be no opportunity for progress?

  After learning about the situation, Wu Bangqing was in high spirits for a while, and no one could surpass him. The town government's people looked at him with completely different eyes now. Even the deputy town head who originally didn't take him seriously was avoiding him, and during meetings he didn't dare to mention any dissenting opinions. Other insincere subordinates were also actively finding excuses to report work every few days to show their closeness, making Wu feel extremely pleased.

  Wu Bangqing was over the moon, and District Secretary Liu Zhengming was also thrilled. Regardless of who invited the mayor, after all, he came to Suqi, which is a matter of pride for themselves. It has been many years since a higher-level leader visited Suqi, let alone the newly appointed Mayor Wang, who hasn't gone anywhere else yet but chose to come to Suqi first. Isn't this an honor? As a result, not only the town government's staff were busy and excited, but also the district government's personnel. Who wouldn't want to show their face in front of the mayor? Leave a good impression on the mayor, isn't that more opportunities than others?

  In official circles, it's like this: what you fear is not making mistakes, but rather that your leaders won't remember them. No matter how well you do something, if your leader doesn't know about it, then what's the point?

  On a sunny morning, Mayor Wang Peiyuan arrived at Suqi Kindergarten, surrounded by more than 200 children cheering and welcoming him. He inspected the kindergarten's various work and played games with the lovely kids for a while. All major media outlets in the city sent their best reporters to cover the event.

  During the inspection, Mayor Wang expressed satisfaction with the kindergarten's work and praised Wu Bangqing, the town mayor, for his diligent and down-to-earth work style. He also required all grassroots officials to have this pragmatic work style, to be practical and do real things for the people, and to serve the people wholeheartedly.

  Wu Bangqing, the town head, was full of pride and ambition. He also understood that Vice District Head Leng Yunying's sending of Leng Binghan to kindergarten had a significant promotional effect on the whole thing, not to mention that he heard that this vice district head had good connections with his superiors, was just over 40 years old, and was still a municipal committee member, with unlimited potential for advancement. Everyone lifted the flower sedan chair together, and everyone benefited. So, putting aside modesty, without regard for the increasingly ugly faces of the district party secretary and district head beside him, he spoke to Mayor Wang about Leng Yunying's supportive and guiding role in the matter, praising her as a good cadre who cared about the people and was his model for learning.

  Mayor Wang was in a good mood. Before coming to Changfu, he had also heard that before the city was built, there was a capable and theoretically high-ranking cadre who gave up his position as head of the county water conservancy bureau for the sake of his family and returned to serve as deputy district head. At that time, he couldn't understand it, but now he has heard praise for this cadre again, so naturally, he wants to meet Leng Yunyi, who is also a member of the municipal party committee. Although not a standing committee member, if he can win him over, it will definitely help his work.

  With this in mind, Mayor Wang met with Leng Yun'ai. To put it in diplomatic terms, the meeting was held in a very friendly atmosphere. They were close in age and had similar experiences, so they had a lot to talk about and communicated very happily.

  Mayor Wang, in a great mood, even had lunch with the kids at the kindergarten and took photos with several of them before leading the large team back to Changfu.

  The next day's news reports naturally focused on this matter, with Mayor Wang as the protagonist. Of course, the names of Leng Yun and Wu Bangqing also appeared several times in the reports. This made others both envy and jealous of them, not only being praised by Mayor Wang but also appearing in a positive light in the party newspaper. As for what happened afterwards, does it need to be said?

  As a result, the two of them immediately became local political stars, and people from other towns and even remote counties knew about it. Subordinates either visited their homes one after another or reported to work in droves, greatly enhancing their work and power.

  Wu Bangqing and Leng Yunyi's relationship has become much closer due to this, and they have been interacting more frequently. Wu Bangqing has also shown great support for the work proposed or led by Leng Yunyi, which has greatly enhanced Leng Yunyi's work. With even Wu Bangqing supporting Leng Yunyi's work, who would dare not support it? However, it's easy to take sides, but making choices is difficult. If one is not careful, they might end up on the wrong side and suffer severe consequences. At this time, officials at all levels have become anxious and restless, starting to make moves, gathering information, and expressing their loyalty... The situation has become so intense that outsiders who are unaware of what's happening might think something big is about to occur.

  It's hard not to say that this world is really wonderful, just a small thing like sending a child to kindergarten, actually triggered a small earthquake in the local officialdom, and also brought many loyal allies for his father, it can be said that he inadvertently helped his father. The butterfly effect has been exaggerated a bit.
