Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Tang Mei was delighted, this was exactly what she wanted to exchange for. She was very excited, but pretended to be embarrassed.

He called out to Tang Yongli who was weighing and exchanging things with someone, "Deputy Secretary Tang, this comrade wants to exchange these fruits with our coal coupons."

Tang Yongli asked Tang Jianguo to continue his work and accept the exchange. He frowned like Tang Mei, walked to Tang Mei thoughtfully and asked the man, "Comrade, do you want to exchange with coal tickets? How do you do it?"

The man asked tentatively, "How about I exchange a coal ticket for a basket of fruit?"

Tang Yongli pondered for a moment, "How much coal can one coal ticket exchange for?"

"One thousand kilograms." said the man.

Tang Mei was very surprised after hearing this, and secretly thought to herself that this deal was really a good deal.

A basket of fruit for a thousand kilograms of coal is a huge profit.

In this era of planned economy, coal supply was restricted in many units.

Now the coal supply of many units is limited. With so much coal, you can exchange it for anything. It's profitable. It's profitable.

Tang Yongli nodded, then gritted his teeth and said with a little embarrassment, "Okay, we'll take a loss and change with you."

"Can it really be changed?" A young lady squeezed to the front and asked again to confirm.

"Auntie, you have to change too." There was a hint of reluctance in Tang Mei's tone.

"Little girl, you promised to change him, but you didn't change us. We won't do it, sisters, don't you agree?" The aunt shouted loudly, and several women behind her followed suit and shouted loudly, "No, no!"

"This...this...Secretary Tang, what do you think? It's good to replace only one person, but you said to replace so many people, what should we do?" Tang Mei seemed very embarrassed and looked at Tang Yongli.

"Leader, I hope you can agree. It's not easy for our factory to eat fruit once. We have to walk dozens of kilometers to the county to buy a little bit."

The auntie began to cry and act pitifully, but there were no tears in her eyes. It was just thunder but no rain. While crying, the auntie thought that her family had plenty of coal coupons, and anyone who didn't exchange the fruits for free would be a fool.

Tang Mei's eyes twitched. She had thought her father's acting skills were excellent, but she didn't expect that there were many masters among the common people.

Tang Yongli nodded as he listened, and kept saying that it was indeed not easy.

The aunt wiped away her non-existent tears and asked, "Boss, do you agree?"

Tang Yongli nodded. "I agree. I originally thought that our town is close to your factory, and you are the only one who can eat all the fruits. We are providing you with benefits. If you are helpful, we can also exchange some benefits for the villagers. But so many of you are using coal tickets to exchange, can I take the coal away recently?"

"Leader, you don't need to worry about this. I will go and ask clearly. If it can be moved, can you let us move away?" The aunt patted her chest. She would let the leader take it away even if she had to blame him.

After making her promise, she disappeared without a trace.

Tang Yongli and Tang Mei did not stay in the same place, and continued to exchange gloves for fruit with others. There was a group of people standing next to them who were going to exchange coal tickets for fruit. They watched people carry away baskets of fruit. There were still people coming, some to exchange, some to buy. The group of people looked very anxious.

The aunt did not disappoint everyone. In less than ten minutes, she brought over the deputy director whom Tang Mei and the others had met an hour ago.

A hint of surprise flashed across Tang Mei's face. Is this deputy factory director so approachable and so easy to persuade?

The auntie who was dragging the deputy director was pushing her way forward anxiously. When the people in front saw that it was the deputy director coming, they all left a path for him to pass through.

"Boss, do you still have fruits? Please don't take away the ones I value so much."

Tang Yongli took over the conversation cheerfully, "There are many more, don't worry, this is only the first car, there is another car behind."

The aunt looked at the other truck covered with a tarpaulin and the panic on her face faded visibly.

"Deputy Director, you just promised me that you could exchange coal tickets for coal for this leader, right?"

The deputy factory director nodded helplessly. This shrew, although still young, had married into their factory and had been cursing and behaving like a shrew all the time. She was a real shrew.

In fact, even if she didn't come to make trouble, he would have agreed. After notifying the Propaganda Department, he returned to the office and saw the things left by the deputy secretary, and he was very satisfied.

He is also willing to help a generous person.

"Leader, you have seen it, our leader has also agreed, so you can rest assured now."

The auntie was dancing with excitement, and was almost about to start moving things.

"Okay, how many coal tickets do you have?" Tang Yongli was not vague. Wasn't the purpose of their visit this time just for coal?

"Three tickets, young man. Bring me three baskets of different fruits. I have some to give away." After saying this, he handed the tickets to Tang Mei happily. He was actually talking to Comrade Xiao Chen, the driver who was helping to move the fruit baskets.

Tang Mei had already filled up her backpack with gloves and money. She turned around and took two large sacks of mangoes, one for money and the other for coal tickets.

Finally, one more bag was added to hold the coal tickets.

Soon, with the constant flow of people coming and going, there were only two baskets left from the two trucks of fruit, which were replaced by people because they thought they were not good-looking.

"Oh, it's gone." A lively-looking young girl came over and saw that both cars were empty. She couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

"I'm sorry, there really is no more." Tang Mei responded while picking up the garbage on the ground.

"Will you come again next time?" The little girl looked at Tang Mei with anticipation.

Tang Mei glanced at his father, who nodded slightly, and said, "Maybe he will come. I have a basket of not-so-good-looking ones here. If you don't mind, I'll give them to you."

"Don't give it to me. I'll buy it. I'm not giving it to anyone. I just want to wait for my dad to come back and let him try something new. It doesn't matter if it's a little ugly." The little girl hurriedly took out a stack of banknotes from her pocket. It looked like there were about 16 yuan in it, and she must have counted it in advance.

"Okay, this fruit doesn't look that good, so I won't charge you that much. Just give me 10 yuan. If we have more fruit next time, you can come earlier." Tang Mei smiled and gave him a shot of prevention for coming again next time.

"Okay, thank you." The girl counted the money in her hand with a smile on her face, and handed it to Tang Mei when it was enough.

Tang Mei did not hesitate and stuffed the money into the snakeskin bag without counting.

The little girl was satisfied and lifted the basket of fruit with great effort. Tang Mei cleverly helped her carry it to the guard room, and she didn't care about what happened next.

The remaining four people, Tang Jianguo, Xiao Chen, Tang Yongli and Tang Mei, quickly cleaned up the scene.

I was very nervous all the way home with the money, fearing that I would be robbed by some uncivilized villagers or hooligans. Fortunately, the journey was peaceful.

Tang Jianguo and Xiao Chen sent Tang Mei and Tang Yongli back to the commune government staff quarters, and happily returned to the county with the remaining basket of fruit.
