Reborn in the 60s and adopted

At this time, Tang Mei noticed that neither of them spoke, so she decided to take action.

She raised her hand timidly, like a timid elementary school student.

Director Su of the cement factory noticed Tang Mei's actions and took the lead in breaking the deadlock, asking, "Little comrade, do you have anything to say?"

"Comrade Factory Director, I would like to ask, has your factory ever considered unplanned demand?

We don’t care whether we can sell it for money or not. If possible, can we exchange these coal coupons for cement?

Do you think this is okay?"

Tang Mei boldly put forward her own suggestion.

Director Su of the cement factory touched his chin and said nothing. If the coal resources were large enough, that would be great!

Recently, due to the shortage of coal, their factory can only produce a small part of its products.

He was waiting for the higher-ups to allocate more coal to him.

In order to get the coal, he even thought about crying poor to his superiors.

However, today someone actually asked him if he needed coal. This happiness came too suddenly.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he stared closely at Tang Yongli, the one who could make the decision.

Tang Yongli took a deep breath and tried his best to speak in a negotiating tone:

"Director, I was a little anxious just now. We really need cement.

Don't mind if you laugh at me, but our commune still has mud roads. No matter whether it is extremely cold or hot, or windy or rainy, everyone has to go out barefoot.

Everyone in the commune had their feet soaked in water for a long time. It was okay in the summer, but in the winter, their feet were covered with frostbite.

Sometimes we have some things we want to transport to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell

Because of the rain, the boats often fell into the ditch. If you were lucky, the goods would be lost, but the people would come back intact.

Those who are unlucky may lose limbs, and the family will lose one labor force.

Our main purpose this time is to use the tickets to exchange for some money to buy supplies, but now we can directly exchange them for cement, that's great!"

He said this without any falsehood. He had been doing this every time it rained.

Director Su thought for a while and felt that this deputy secretary was a good official who truly cared about the people.

He said: "You can exchange it with coal tickets. To be honest, it's only the middle of the year and a lot of our cement has been booked out. We haven't received any payment yet.

If you have coal tickets, we would be happy to exchange one for one. How many pounds can one ticket weigh?"

Tang Yongli held up a finger: "1000 kilograms."

"Okay, then one ticket for one ton of cement. This way you won't suffer any loss, so don't worry."

Director Su thought to himself: I can't let you suffer any loss, otherwise you will go to your superiors to complain, and then I will lose my position.

Tang Mei and Tang Yongli looked at each other, both of them smiled happily, and quickly agreed: "Okay, thank you very much, Director Su!"

"So how many tickets do you have in total?" Director Su asked expectantly. He naturally hoped that the more votes the better. In this way, the factory's production capacity would be expected to increase this year. It would be great if the factory could be ranked first in the county this year.

"There are more than 300." While Tang Yongli was speaking, he also carefully observed the expression of Director Su of the cement factory, trying to tell from his expression whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with the number.

Upon hearing this number, Director Su's originally serious face immediately broke into a smile. He estimated in his mind that with these coal coupons, he would have a greater chance of winning the title of the best unit in the county.

"Then let's go through the handover procedures now?" Tang Yongli asked cheerfully.

"Okay, I'll write you a note right now. Take it and you can come and haul cement anytime you want."

Director Su thought that this amount of cement was nothing for the county cement plant, which only supplied 300 tons of cement.

Tang Yongli took the note carefully and put it in his pocket like a treasure.

Tang Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "Comrade Director, can our commune buy cement from you in the future?"

Director Su looked at the little girl in front of him and sighed. He had to give the deputy county chief a face. The deputy county chief supported her. He, a factory director, couldn't beat her. Thinking of this, he said:

"Little girl, cement is all part of the plan. If we have extra cement and you need it, I can consider it, but..."

After saying that, he looked at Tang Yongli again.

"Secretary Tang, if you have any more good things like coal tickets in the future, please think more about our factory."

Tang Yongli nodded happily, wishing he could come more often. "Of course that's no problem, Comrade Director Su, we'll come again in a few days."

"Okay, then I'll wait. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future." Director Su said.

"Okay." Tang Yongli walked up to Director Su and shook hands, then said goodbye to the group of people.

A group of people came out of the cement factory and stood at the door, all breathing a sigh of relief.

"Secretary Tang, you are amazing. You can deal with the director of such a large enterprise and have such a smooth negotiation. I really admire you." Jiang Qing walked out of the factory gate as if he was alive again. Just now, he didn't even dare to breathe inside, for fear of messing up the matter.

"Xiao Jiang, I can't come out every time to discuss things in the future. You need to learn more. In the future, you may have to do these things." Tang Yongli frowned, but fortunately his daughter didn't require him to worry at all.

"Well, don't worry, Secretary. I'll follow you a few more times and learn a few more times. Maybe I'll be able to stand on my own in the future." Jiang Qing also felt that his performance just now was not very good. He was too timid. He had to say something to save his face.

"Okay, Secretary, I believe you." Tang Yongli said and thought for a while.

"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Tang Mei looked at her father standing there without saying anything.

"I wonder how far the road can be built with 300 tons of cement?" Tang Yongli replied.

"I have calculated it long ago. One ton of cement, based on the 3.5-meter-wide and 0.2-meter-thick roads in our countryside, is about 1428 meters, or about three miles," said Tang Mei.

"How much?" Tang Yongli was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. "Only 3 miles, this is too short."

Tang Mei also sighed, it would be a long and arduous task to build the entire commune's road.

"No, let's take advantage of the fact that there are plenty of fruits in summer and make a few more trips. I don't believe that we can't build this road." Tang Yongli said as he walked towards the direction where they had just got off the car.

"Hey, Secretary, we have to go this way to take the bus to go back to town." Seeing that Tang Yongli was still walking towards the county, Jiang Qing quickly reminded him.

"I'm not going the wrong way. I have to go to the county. Meimei, you two go back first." Tang Yongli said to his daughter.

Tang Mei shook her head. Judging from her father's appearance, he should have gone to the county to join her brother Jianguo in buying fruit.

"Dad, you should go back. Brother Jiang and I will go. You have already set a good example for us. Please give us a chance to grow."
