Reborn in the 60s and adopted

During the two years at Tangmei Junior High School, Tang Xiaolan, Lu Hua and Wang Ran were all transferred to teach at the junior high school in the town because of their students' high admission rates.

In the past two years, Tang Mei and her friends have worked extremely hard. They have no time to play around in school. They are either studying or on the way to study, just to get into a good technical secondary school.

You read it right, it means the technical secondary school entrance exam. In this era, the value of a high school diploma is not as high as that of a technical secondary school diploma. There has always been a legend that if you pass the technical secondary school entrance exam, you can directly transfer to a city hukou and get a cadre quota. In recent years, everyone has been working hard on the technical secondary school entrance exam track.

The high school entrance exam was finally over, and the four of them finally had time to get together at the Tang family. The Tang family was very lively today, with three teachers who taught in the town and several of their friends' parents all coming.

"Meimei, have you ever estimated your score?" Wang Jiaojiao asked curiously.

Tang Mei shook her head: "Not yet, but I looked at the test paper and there is almost nothing I can't do."

Wang Jiaojiao fell backwards after hearing this. "I don't like studying to begin with, but you guys forced me to take the high school entrance exam. I guess my grades won't be as good as yours. Oh, why should I ask you? You're asking for trouble!"

"Haha, our Jiaojiao is still so cute!" Mayor Wang looked at his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time and found that she had lost a lot of weight. His daughter has changed a lot in the past few years. She is no longer the arrogant little girl who offends people without realizing it.

"Brother Yongli, thanks to you and sister-in-law for taking care of our Jiaojiao all these years. Seeing Jiaojiao getting better and better, I feel I have done my duty to my deceased wife." Mayor Wang of Jinshan Town suddenly said with emotion.

Tang Yongli glanced at him and said, "Why are you saying this? Jiaojiao coming to our house will make our house more lively, and she can also help take care of her brother."

"Okay, I won't talk about this anymore. What major does your daughter Meimei plan to choose?" Wang Chengsheng asked.

Tang Yongli also looked at his daughter. Tang Mei felt two pairs of eyes on her, and when she turned around and saw that it was her father and Uncle Wang, she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"What major do you plan to choose?" Tang Yongli repeated.

"It depends on my grades. If they are good and the school allows me to have two days off or more days off, I would like to learn a few more majors." Tang Mei felt that she had plenty of energy and it should be no problem for her to learn a few more subjects.

Wang Chengsheng gave Tang Mei a thumbs up and said, "Meimei, you are amazing! Not only did you improve Jiaojiao's grades, but your own grades are also great! Uncle hopes that you will study hard in the future and serve the country after graduation."

When Tang Mei heard Wang Chengsheng say this, she suddenly thought that she should give back to the country after being reborn into this world. But it seems that her small body can't support the country. Well, let's talk about it after graduation.

As they were talking, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside, getting closer and closer to the Tang family.

Tang Yong muttered, "It's already past noon. If we're getting married, the wedding should be before lunch."

Tang Yongli was also curious and said, "Let's go out and see if there is anything good going on, and if there are any gongs or drums being played."

A group of people rushed to the gate to watch the excitement.

There were two big men in front of them, carrying a big drum and beating it vigorously, and behind them were a few people wearing grey Lenin suits, who looked like cadres. Behind the Lenin suits were a large group of people.

"What's going on? It's so noisy." Aunt Zhang, who loves gossip, said in the crowd.

"Who knows? Let's see where they go and follow them. Then we'll know what good news it is." said Aunt Zhang's gossipy friend.

Soon the person beating the gong stopped in front of the Tang family’s door.

When Wang Chengsheng saw the person approaching, he realized that it was the deputy county magistrate.

"County magistrate, why are you here?" Wang Chengsheng hurried forward and followed the deputy county magistrate.

"Chengsheng, the Jinshan Town you manage is doing great this time. The first place in the provincial high school entrance examination is in your town, and there are many students with good scores." The deputy county magistrate patted Wang Chengsheng on the shoulder happily, and then said, "You have done a good job in governance. You have worked hard over the years." This time, Jinshan Town has made him proud.

Wang Chengsheng was still a little confused, "Jinshan Town did so well in the exam? And it's even number one in the province?" He just felt like a big pie had fallen on his head, making him dizzy.

"Hey, you're so happy! Tell me where Tang Mei's house is?" the deputy county magistrate asked with a smile.

Wang Chengsheng came back to his senses and pointed behind him and said, "Over there, Tang Mei, come here quickly!"

Tang Mei walked out of the crowd briskly.

"Oh, you are Tang Mei, not bad, really good! You have been admitted to the technical secondary school in the provincial capital. The young people behind you should be Wang Jiaojiao, Tang Li and Tang Shaowen, students from your village who have achieved good results this time!" The deputy county magistrate smiled and looked at the three people behind Tang Mei.

The three of them answered in unison: "Yes!"

The deputy county chief smiled and nodded: "You are also very good, and your grades are also the best in the county, so you have all been admitted to the provincial technical secondary school. You can choose your major when you arrive at the school."

The deputy county chief clapped his hands, and someone quickly handed over the notices for Tang Mei and the others. Tang Mei said politely, "Thank you!"

The deputy county chief praised: "Sure enough, children with good grades are polite!"

Tang Mei said shyly, "Thank you for the compliment."

"You are all good talents. I hope you can give back to your hometown after graduation and make the best of your hometown's cultivation of you. Come, give her the award our county gives to the top scholar in the province." After the deputy county magistrate gave an order, the people behind him put the 20 big unity cards into Tang Mei's hands.

"Thank you, County Magistrate!" Tang Mei accepted the bonus politely.

The deputy county chief watched Tang Mei take the money, and then said to the students, "Don't be discouraged, and work hard to get scholarships in school. I originally wanted to send you to the technical secondary school in the county, and I had already made arrangements and promised to train you well, but you were snatched away by the technical secondary school in the provincial capital. But no matter where you go, remember that you are from our Qitong County. Study hard in the future and strive to become a useful person to society."

The villagers gathered around and took a deep breath. Although they had earned a lot of money from growing mushrooms over the years, the mushroom production was getting higher and higher, but the price was not high. The team had to hand over a portion of it, so they didn't get much. But compared with other villages, it was much better. But they never thought that being good at studying could get them so many rewards, which was equivalent to their income for half a year!

Tang Mei heard this and said, "Don't worry, we will study hard and strive to learn more knowledge to give back to our hometown."

The county magistrate nodded to Tang Mei and was very curious. What kind of people were her parents? How could they raise such an outstanding daughter? So he asked Wang Chengsheng: "Chengsheng, who are Tang Mei's parents? I want to meet the parents who can raise such an outstanding daughter."

Tang Yongli took the initiative to walk in front of the deputy county magistrate without waiting for Wang Chengsheng to call him. He didn't expect his daughter to be so successful. He was so proud that he almost forgot that the person standing in front of him was the deputy county magistrate: "Haha, thank you for your compliment!"

"Are you the father of the provincial top scholar?" The deputy county magistrate was also a little surprised. He didn't expect her father to be so young.

"Yes, I am Tang Mei's father. My name is Tang Yongli, and I am also the deputy village chief of the Bayi Brigade." Tang Yongli suppressed his inner excitement and introduced himself calmly.

"So you are Tang Yongli. Along the way, I have noticed that your village is the cleanest and tidiest, and all the villagers are in high spirits. It can be seen that the village is well managed. Well, I will remember you." The deputy county magistrate's words fully affirmed Tang Yongli's abilities.

Tang Yongli had learned a lot of knowledge and culture from the capitalist roaders who were sent down to the countryside in the past few years, and his level was almost that of a junior high school student. So now, even if he faced an official as high as the deputy county magistrate, he was not afraid at all.

"Thank you for the compliment from the county magistrate. The new look of our village is inseparable from the efforts of every villager and village leader. Everyone works hard to live and strive. I will also work harder to make our Bayi Brigade better and better."

The deputy county magistrate nodded, and became more and more impressed with Tang Yongli's neither humble nor arrogant attitude.

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer. See you again sometime in the future." The deputy county magistrate smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and went back with a group of people.

"Thank you!" After expressing his gratitude, Tang Yongli followed Wang Chengsheng to see the deputy county magistrate off.

"Wow, Meimei, you are so awesome. You are number one in the province. I can't even imagine it. You are so awesome!" Wang Jiaojiao hugged Tang Mei excitedly.

"Okay, okay, you're awesome too. We're all awesome. We all made it. Congratulations."

Tang Mei and a few other friends smiled at each other and went back to the house to celebrate.

As soon as the county magistrate left, the villagers seemed to be relieved and started chatting a lot.

"Wow, that's actually the mayor of our county. I got to meet him. This is the most important official I've ever met in my life. I can brag about it for a long time."

"The Tang family is really amazing. They are really good at educating children. They are the best in the province."

The others nodded after hearing this, and they all felt that the Tang family was not simple. Now, the villagers dared not to underestimate Tang Yongli's family.

"Hurry up and go back to take care of our child. If he doesn't study hard, he will be beaten. Look at Tang Mei, he was praised by the county magistrate and even got money. His ancestors' graves are really smoking. Why don't our ancestors' graves bless us?" A woman grabbed her man's ear and walked away angrily.
