Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Maybe because no one has lived here for a while, the yard is a bit messy and there are a lot of weeds, but Tang Mei thinks that if she cleans it up, it will definitely be very beautiful. She really likes this lively and green place.

There are three rooms that can be lived in, and a separate study room. The bookshelves were probably too big, so they were not moved away.

The kitchen and bathroom are next to each other and are not small in size. Tang Mei thought that her mother would definitely like these two places. Moreover, the whole house has concrete floors, which will make cleaning easier in the future.

"Jiaojiao, thank your dad for me. The house we got is really nice. I like it very much." A satisfied smile appeared on Tang Mei's pretty little face.

Wang Jiaojiao said solemnly, "Meimei, can you and Uncle San help my father more in the future? It's not easy for him to be an official in Jinshan Town alone. There are always people who oppose him.

He has put in a lot of effort to get to where he is today. I often see him writing in his study in the middle of the night. Now that I have to go to work in the county, there will be even less room for me to help.”

Tang Mei saw Wang Jiaojiao was so serious and solemn, and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, don't worry, you are usually a cheerful person, and the fact that you can say such things is enough to show that you have grown up. This little help is not a big deal, maybe we will have to take care of each other in the future. Don't worry, trust me."

"Whose sister are you?" Wang Jiaojiao, who is older than Tang Mei, poked Tang Mei's armpit in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, stop poking me, you're my sister, okay?" Tang Mei was so itchy from being poked that she quickly begged for mercy.

“It’s not impossible for me to let you go, but you have to call me Sister Jiaojiao from now on.” Wang Jiaojiao smiled slyly.

"Okay, Sister Jiaojiao." Tang Mei knew the situation very well.

Wang Jiaojiao let her go and sat on the only stool in the bare living room with a pout.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Mei was puzzled. How could the person who was just playing with her suddenly become unhappy? What was going on?

"Goudan will come to pick me up tomorrow, and we will have to go to the county. I don't know when I can play with you next time." Wang Jiaojiao said with disappointment.

"Little girl, don't be sad, today's separation is for a better reunion tomorrow.

Besides, the county town is not far away. I will come to see you when I am on vacation, and you can come back to see me when you are on vacation. It’s no big deal.

And this is a good thing. Think about it, we can all work now, which means we are independent and can earn money. In the future, we won't have to spend our parents' money, and we can use our own money to honor your father. Don't you feel proud?"

When Tang Mei said this, her heart was not as calm as it appeared. After all, they were going to separate, and she was still a little sad. Wang Jiaojiao and she had been together for more than ten years and had long become good friends.

"Yes, what you said makes sense. Then we should all work hard. I will save all the salary I earn, and then come back to go shopping with you, and we will shop together! I can finally earn money to buy things by myself, haha, I'm so happy!" Wang Jiaojiao's mind had long been focused on her future salary, and she temporarily forgot about separating from Tang Mei.

"Then let me take you home. I have to go to work in the afternoon. You can't be absent on your first day." Tang Mei suppressed her reluctance and said with a smile.

"No need. My house is next door. You should go to work. I'm leaving too." Wang Jiaojiao pushed Tang Mei out of the door, locked it, put the key in Tang Mei's hand, and then trotted home.

After Tang Mei watched Wang Jiaojiao walk away, she also ran towards the commune.

In the office, Tang Yongli was looking at the data on the table seriously. When Tang Mei came in, she saw his father with a worried look on his face.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Yongli said: "It's okay, I'm just reading the information on the table. There are some parts that I don't understand. Sigh, it's true that you only regret not having read enough books when you need them!"

Tang Mei jumped in front of her father and asked with a smile: "What don't you understand? Tell me."

"Here, and here..." Tang Yongli stretched out her hand and pointed out the places she didn't understand one by one.

Tang Mei looked at where her father pointed and patiently explained: "Dad, the data here is the income of the commune's grain and oil factory last year. You see, this is the annual output value. Last year, the annual output value of the grain and oil factory was only 80,000 yuan."

Tang Yongli stared at the number - 8, and exclaimed in surprise: ", that's a lot!"

However, Tang Mei curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Is this a lot? This annual output value is too low!

All the oil in our commune was sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, but we could only get a tiny bit of money from it.

What can 80,000 yuan do? How much can each household get? Not to mention that this is only the fiscal revenue of the commune, and it also needs to be used for public affairs expenditure.

Is this money enough to build a cement road connecting all villages to the county seat, or is it enough to feed the entire commune?"

Tang Yongli was stumped by his daughter's questions and didn't know what to say for a moment.

In his opinion, 80,000 yuan was a lot of money. But his daughter's point of view made him realize that 80,000 yuan seemed far from enough, just like only 8 yuan.

He began to think that perhaps his understanding of money was indeed narrow.

Tang Mei didn't pay attention to her father's expression and continued to concentrate on flipping through the thick stack of information in her hand.

She took a quick look and found that the entire company had only two factories: a grain and oil factory of the commune and a matchstick film factory. What was even more surprising was that the annual output value of this factory was only about 20,000 yuan.

In other words, the total annual income of the entire commune was only a mere 100,000 yuan.

Such output value may be very good in the eyes of the older generation, but for Tang Mei, it is still far from enough.

After all, her vision comes from the future and has long surpassed this small place.

"Meimei, how can we increase the output value?" Although Tang Yongli had studied with Lin Yunshen for several years, he could only read and write.

Apart from doing some small business in the Bayi Brigade and the supply and marketing cooperative, he was a little at a loss when faced with more difficult economic issues.

“If possible, I think we can build a few more factories, or increase the production value of farmers in agriculture, so that the output value of the commune should be higher.

When I was in school, I studied newspapers about the national economy in recent years. In the past few years, the leaders issued an order that the more active communes would set up fertilizer factories, pesticide factories and other commune-brigade enterprises.

There are only two in Jinshan Town. Dad, don't you think it's too few? " As a secretary, Tang Mei could only remind the secretary. She herself had just taken office and her mind was still a mess.

Tang Yongli nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that in addition to going to the countryside, he also had to go to other better communes to learn about their economics and communicate more with educated girls.

"Okay, Meimei, take a look at the information in your hand first. After get off work, we will tell your mother that we have moved to the town recently, and your brother will be on summer vacation soon.

We are all very busy at our new workplace and will have little time to go home. Your mother and brother will have to take care of us."

Tang Mei nodded. He also thought that his father's arrangement was good, and continued to look at the information in his hand.
