Reborn in the 60s and adopted

After thinking for a moment, Tang Mei suggested, "Sister Ran, how about we make some new clothes for my aunt and the others? They were sent to the countryside in such a hurry that they probably didn't bring many clothes with them."

Wang Ran's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he responded excitedly, "Yeah! Why didn't I think of that? I'm not good at cooking, but I can get some food coupons and cloth coupons and ask my parents to mail them to me from home. Then I can use my salary to buy some food, so that they can live a little more comfortably."

However, Tang Mei hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "Sister, have you ever thought about teaching at the town's middle school?" In fact, Tang Mei knew in her heart that a junior high school principal had admired Wang Ran's teaching level very much and had approached Principal Yin many times, trying his best to transfer Wang Ran to the junior high school department.

"I don't want to go. If I go there, it will be difficult for me to see my aunt and others as often as I do now. Besides, I promised you, Sister Yanyan, that I would take good care of them." Wang Ran shook his head firmly to express his refusal.

"Sister Ran, even if we go to work in the town, it doesn't mean we can't come back here! In addition, not only can we increase our salary and enjoy better treatment in the town, but more importantly, you can't stay in this small place like the Bayi Brigade forever, right?

You still have to go back to Kyoto to develop. If you have teaching experience in junior high school or high school, wouldn't you have a better future in Kyoto? So, you can go to town without any worries. As for uncle and aunt, my father promised everyone that he would take good care of them, and he kept his promise! "Tang Mei analyzed clearly.

After Wang Ran listened carefully to what Tang Mei said, he could not help but hesitate. It seemed that what she said was indeed quite reasonable. If he could teach junior high school courses, he could go home every weekend and take care of Meimei's studies. Moreover, if the working environment and conditions were improved, he would not have to ask for money from home so often. After all, his brother was about to get married, and there were too many places in the family that needed money. Thinking of this, Wang Ran began to struggle and entangle more and more...

Tang Mei keenly noticed her hesitation, and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "If you and that man's uncle meet again, won't you feel embarrassed? If you go to town to teach, maybe after a period of time, the mood of both of you will change. Wouldn't it be more harmonious if you meet again? Could it be that... you are still interested in him?"

Wang Ran hurriedly explained: "How is that possible!"

"Then just go to town and be a teacher, this way you can take care of each other." Tang Mei acted like a child, shaking Wang Ran's hand.

Wang Ran couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree: "Okay, but what should I do with the classes I'm in charge of teaching now?"

"Oh, sister, this is not something you need to worry about. This is something your principal should worry about. Besides, there are many educated young people coming to our village. Their education level should be quite good." Tang Mei had actually considered this issue a long time ago. After all, her brother would also go to primary school in the village in the future. Fortunately, Tang Xiaolan and Lu Hua could help.

For several days in a row, Tang Mei was asked by Liu Lin to deliver food and sometimes even wine to the broken house. Gradually, Tang Mei became familiar with the people there. It turned out that Gu Dengyi was a geological expert in Kyoto. Because he was stubborn, he discovered a coal mine. The people above planned to conceal it and not report it, but he felt that it was damaging the interests of the country and insisted on reporting it. In the end, he didn't know what his leader did. His leader was fine, but he was labeled a capitalist roader.

After Tang Mei learned the reason, she had more respect for this old man who stuck to his principles.

That evening, Tang Mei planned to attend a struggle session that had been going on for many days. It was still early, so she set out on the road to the brigade. Along the way, she saw many villagers holding insoles and straw for weaving straw sandals and walking in the same direction.

When they were about to reach the entrance of the brigade, Tang Mei discovered that Tang Yong and Tang Shan were standing there.

"Uncle Yongzi, Uncle Shanzi, why didn't you go in?" Tang Mei saw them guarding the door like doormen in later generations, and couldn't help but feel curious and asked.

"Oh, it's our little Tang Mei! Today it's our turn to guard outside." Tang Yong replied while looking at Tang Mei with a smile on his face.

"What about the rotation system here?" Tang Mei continued to ask.

"Hey, educated people are different. What you said is quite appropriate. Yes, we may be holding hands today but we may be different people tomorrow." Tang Yong praised in disguised form.

"Haha, you said I don't want to chat with you anymore, I'll go in and take a look." Tang Mei found a seat at the back when others went in and sat on the stool she had brought.

Soon the brigade headquarters was filled with people one after another. It had been a long time since I saw such a neat and tidy village.

Not long after, today's protagonist, Lin Yunsheng, stepped onto the podium. At this moment, he was standing in the position where the teacher and the village chief usually stood. He waved his hand, and the people who were originally talking and laughing suddenly became silent. Obviously, everyone was already accustomed to this kind of class mode, and they knew that they would start reading the People's Daily next.

All they heard was Lin Yun reading in a clear, rhythmic and powerful voice: "People's Daily Quotations from Great Men in July 1968 - The people who have won the revolutionary victory should aid the struggle of the people who are fighting for liberation. This is our internationalist duty. Statement by Comrade Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the United States in support of the anti-violence struggle of black people in the United States..." After reading this passage, the people in the village seemed a little confused and didn't quite understand what it meant.

Tang Mei thought that this was not going to work, so she ran to her father and said, "Dad, there is no point in reading the People's Daily like this! Villagers simply cannot understand such profound words. Can you ask uncle to explain it in plain language? Or give some explanations, otherwise it is really boring to read the People's Daily like this."

After Tang Yongli heard his daughter's words, he couldn't help but feel the same way. Indeed, he didn't seem to fully understand the meaning of those words just now.

So he whispered Tang Mei's words in Lin Yunshen's ear, and Lin Yunsheng nodded in Tang Mei's direction.

He began to explain this passage in plain language that ordinary people could understand, and the villagers felt that they understood it.

"I didn't expect that even though the international situation is so serious now, our chairman still supports the black people's struggle against violence?" A loud voice rang out from the crowd.

"Of course not. Oh, I want to go to my father-in-law's village right now. I want to educate them about this. Now I can have something to brag about. I can even get to know the international news. Haha." Another person's voice also began to become excited.

More and more people began to talk excitedly, feeling as if they were people who knew a lot of things.

Tang Mei, who was sitting at the back, heard that sentence most clearly.

"I will come here every day to make insoles in the future, and I can learn a lot of things! Oh, why didn't I know so much information before? I only knew about working, cooking, taking care of children, and sleeping. It would be great if I could understand it too." The illiterate rich man sighed regretfully and continued to pull the insole in his hand.

After listening to this, Tang Mei fell into deep thought. Although the new People's Daily and provincial newspapers were read to the villagers every day, it was still a pity that they could not read. If the country was open in the future and they could read a few words to run their own business, would the conditions of the villagers be better?

After the village criticism meeting, Tang Mei went home with her father, and she mentioned something on the way.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yongli was very supportive: "My daughter, to be honest, seeing you guys studying, I really want to learn too. I told you before that it's a pity not to go to a private school. It's such a good thing to know how to read! Although I'm now the deputy village chief, there are still many words I don't know when I go out."

"That's right, Dad. If you get promoted again and transferred to a town or county in the future, and you don't know how to read, you can only go to an unpopular department. What can we do then? So Dad, in addition to reading the newspaper at night, you can also teach us some commonly used characters. If we learn one a day, after a long time, we will be able to recognize a lot of characters," said Tang Mei.

"Haha, my daughter is really smart! She hasn't even figured out these things in the village yet, and she's being transferred to work in the town! But, there's nothing wrong with my daughter thinking this way. After all, there's always a chance of something happening, right? In this case, let Lin Yunshen open a literacy class, which can be of some use. From now on, I'll go there and learn from him every day!"

"Dad, please don't always take advantage of Uncle Lin alone! Grandma Gu, the two Uncle Gus, and Aunt Zhou are all high-level intellectuals. You can let them take turns teaching the literacy class so that Uncle Lin won't be exhausted."

"Okay, okay, just listen to my precious daughter, okay?"

"Yeah, then I look forward to seeing Dad transform into a person who looks particularly cultured~" Tang Mei said happily.

"Hahaha, okay! Let's go home now!"
