Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Uncle Tang was so happy holding the newly-made long-term supply agreement. He had just bought more than 20 kilograms of rice, a bright red headscarf for his wife, and some fruit candies for his little girl.

He drove the ox cart back home singing all the way.

Xiao Meimei was the only one at home. When she saw him coming back, she ran to him in two steps.

"Slow down, slow down, I can't run..." Uncle Tang's eyes were full of smiles.

"Uncle, what's going on? What's going on?" Tang Mei couldn't wait to know the answer.

"Haha, the supply and marketing cooperative can accept it. Uncle San is lucky. He met the buyer before he even entered the door." Uncle Tang told Tang Mei the whole process in detail. . Tang Mei couldn't help but sigh that people in this era are more pragmatic.

"Uncle San, according to the calculation, a pound of rice cake is 6 cents, and a pound of rice is 1 cents, then we can earn about 4 cent per pound of rice. If we send 20 pounds to the supply and marketing cooperative each time, we will get 12 yuan a month. Excluding the 7 yuan for rice, there will be 5 yuan left. Wow, Uncle San, we are rich." Tang Mei jumped up excitedly.

Uncle Tang looked at Tang Mei strangely. He himself hadn't figured it out yet, so how could Meimei figure it out so easily?

"Uncle San, why are you looking at me so strangely?"

"Meimei, when did you become so good at settling accounts?"

Tang Mei's face turned pale. Did Uncle San find out that I'm not the same Tang Mei as before?

"Uncle San, I..." Tang Mei was anxious and wanted to say something to hide her panic.

"Meimei, you are such a talented kid. No, when you grow up, I have to let you go to school. You can't let this talent go to waste." Uncle Tang conquered himself. Mainly because he would never have thought that Tang Mei had a changed heart.

Tang Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, can I really go to school? I've heard from the aunties in the village that it's useless for girls to study because they will get married sooner or later." Tang Mei deliberately raised a confused and longing face.

"Little girl, you are my daughter. I will send you to school if I say so. Don't worry about others. Uncle San's biggest regret is that you didn't get to attend a private school openly for a day."

Uncle Tang recalled that when he was a child, his family was poor and few families in the village could afford to go to private school. Only the sons of landlords had the money to hire a teacher. He had no choice but to hide in the corner every day to learn by eavesdropping. Although he only learned a little bit, it was much better than most people in the village.

"Uncle San, you are so nice. I will grow up quickly." Tang Mei had originally planned to pester Uncle San to let her go to school when she was older, but she didn't expect that Uncle San also had the idea of ​​letting her study.

"Meimei, just make yourself something to eat at noon. I have to go to the brigade headquarters to participate in the collective weaving of baskets and bamboo mats for drying things." Uncle Tang asked for some leave in the morning, so he had to go now, otherwise the people working with him would dislike him.

After Uncle Tang left, Tang Mei was so excited that she couldn't sit still and couldn't help wanting to share the good news. So she changed into work clothes and planned to go find Tang Li.

In the field, as soon as Tang Mei saw Tang Li, she started chattering to her about business.

The more Tang Li listened, the brighter her eyes became.

"Meimei, thank you so much. If it weren't for you and Third Uncle's efforts, our family would have run out of food." Tang Li said with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, why are you being so polite to me? You've always been the best to me. I'll always think of you when I have something to ask." Tang Mei hugged Tang Li, and the two sisters seemed very close. "Okay, let's finish pulling the pig grass together today. My uncle and I will come to your house tonight."

·····

In the evening, after dinner, Tang Mei and Uncle Tang went to the Tang family's main house.

"Hey, his third uncle, why are you here?" The aunt was a little curious as to why the third uncle and Meimei came here at this time.

"Sister-in-law, Meimei and I are here to discuss something with you. Where is Jianguo?"

"After eating, he went into the house to do his homework. Jianguo, your third uncle is here." The aunt called.

About a minute later, Tang Jianguo appeared in the main room.

"Uncle San, how is it?" Tang Jianguo asked anxiously.

"You little bastard, you don't even ask me if I have eaten. You are only interested in money." Uncle Tang scolded with a smile.

"Uncle San, hehe, that's just being anxious. So, Uncle San, have you eaten?" Tang Jianguo touched his nose and reflected on himself, saying that he was indeed too anxious and impolite.

"Silly boy, I was just kidding you, it's done."

"Ah, Third Uncle, is it true? Haha." Tang Jianguo danced with joy.

"Call your mother out and we'll discuss how to explain this." Uncle Tang said.

"Uncle San, I haven't told my mom yet. Wait for me for a moment, I'll tell her the whole story first." After saying this, Tang Jianguo almost stumbled into his aunt's room.

After a while, I heard my aunt's roar, "Tang Jianguo, you dead boy, you took the initiative to make decisions on your own." After a while, I heard my aunt's soft crying.
