Reborn in the 60s and adopted

The next day, the sun shone warmly and softly on the mountains, as if covering the whole world with a layer of golden gauze. Tang Mei and Luo Xiuyun followed Captain Zhu and wandered around the mountains.

The mountain road is rugged and winding, making people marvel at the wonders of nature.

There were towering trees on both sides of the mountain, and the dense leaves intertwined together to form a green barrier. Tang Mei and Luo Xiuyun walked carefully, fearing that they would be scratched or slip by the branches.

They followed Captain Zhu closely, looking around curiously from time to time, feeling the beauty and mystery of nature.

Suddenly, the scenery in front of me changed. The originally steep hillside became much flatter, like a huge platform.

The ground is covered with thick grass, soft and comfortable. The surrounding trees are no longer so tall, but have become about two meters tall with lush branches and leaves. The treetops spread out like umbrellas, blocking the sunlight, making this place look particularly quiet.

The most eye-catching thing is that there are several red fruits hanging on these trees, like gems inlaid among the green leaves. The fruits are round and full, bright in color, and exude an attractive aroma.

Tang Mei and Luo Xiuyun couldn't help but stop and carefully observe these peculiar fruit trees.

Tang Mei asked in surprise, "Captain Zhu, are these...cherry trees?"

Captain Zhu laughed heartily: "Haha, Secretary Tang is quite amazing! Yes, these are cherry trees."

Tang Mei looked around carefully and found that there were many trees similar to this cherry tree nearby. However, most of them did not bear fruit.

"Did someone plant this here on purpose?" Tang Mei asked curiously.

Captain Zhu shook his head and explained: "They are not from anyone's family. These are all wild."

Tang Mei nodded in sudden realization, then stared at the cherry tree thoughtfully for a while. A plan gradually emerged in her mind.

"Captain Zhu, no one grows cherry trees on this mountain. Why don't we ask someone to find some cherry branches and graft these trees. That way, they can grow more fruits," Tang Mei suggested.

Captain Zhu was slightly stunned, looking at Tang Mei in confusion, and asked puzzledly: "Grafting? What is grafting? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Tang Mei smiled mysteriously, muttering to herself, perhaps other places already have this technology, but the Baozhu Brigade mainly makes a living by hunting, so naturally they know very little about it. She smiled and explained: "Captain, this is a magical technology! When we graft on a large scale in the future, you will understand!"

Captain Zhu couldn't help but look at Tang Mei with new eyes, thinking that this girl was really smart and quick-witted. He said expectantly, "Okay, then I'll have a good look at what this so-called grafting is all about!"

Several people continued to move forward, and soon they saw thick smoke filling the sky, as if the world was shrouded in smoke.

Tang Mei frowned slightly. She felt that the smoke was too big and too thick. It was nothing like the smoke produced by composting or burning straw.

"Captain, where does such a thick smoke come from?" Tang Mei asked curiously.

Captain Zhu smiled and replied, "This smoke is coming from the brick factory of the Red Flag Brigade next door. Only they produce such thick smoke when they burn bricks."

Tang Mei's pupils shrank in shock and she muttered to herself, "The brick factory in the Red Flag Brigade..." She was very puzzled, why had she never known that the Red Flag Brigade had a brick factory?

Even in the financial statements of Jinshan Town that she had been looking at for so long, there was no mention of the tax issue of the brick factory. So where did the money earned by this brick factory go...

"Meimei!" Luo Xiuyun shouted anxiously and grabbed Tang Mei's hand tightly.

Tang Mei suddenly came to her senses, looked down, and found that she was standing on the edge of a cliff. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her legs went weak.

"What were you thinking about just now? You almost fell down!" Luo Xiuyun poked Tang Mei's head with lingering fear.

Tang Mei patted her chest, calmed herself down, frowned and said, "I was just thinking about the brick factory of the Red Flag Brigade. Did you hear Director Li mention it in the office?"

Luo Xiuyun shook her head and replied, "Never heard of it."

Captain Zhu also realized that something was wrong, but before Secretary Tang Mei asked him, he decided to remain silent. After all, if Wang Daqiang knew that he was complaining behind his back, it would be troublesome.

Tang Mei noticed the change in Captain Zhu's expression, so she asked, "Captain, how long has this brick factory been in existence?"

Captain Zhu thought for a while before answering, "It's been a while, probably more than ten years. Don't you know about this?"

Tang Mei shook her head and asked curiously, "Captain Zhu, do you know how this brick factory was established?"

"About ten years ago, didn't the government encourage villages to set up businesses? This was what Director Guo took the lead in setting up," Captain Zhu explained.

Tang Mei frowned and asked in confusion: "Logically speaking, the secretary of our commune also came here more than ten years ago. How come he doesn't know about this?"

Captain Zhu thought about it and also felt a little strange, but still replied: "It shouldn't be like this. The factory was jointly established by the town and the Red Flag Brigade. Even if Secretary Wang is not the full secretary, he should know about it."

Tang Mei looked at Captain Zhu, but her heart was full of doubts. She always felt that this matter was not that simple;

There must be some secret hidden behind this, especially with the presence of Guo Fox. She did not continue to ask, but just nodded to show that she understood.

Captain Zhu felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but he couldn't figure out what was fishy about it, so he decided to go back and ask his second brother.

Tang Mei said to him again: "Just pretend I never asked about this."

"Okay." Captain Zhu nodded with a smile.

"There is one more thing. While there is less rain this autumn, cut down all the trees in front of and behind your houses in the village. I will ask someone to buy some peach, plum and fruit saplings to plant around October." She had to put her specialty plan on schedule.

"Planting fruit trees? That's fine." Captain Zhu was so happy that his face was full of smiles.

"Remember the tasks I told you to do. After I leave this time, you should prepare as soon as possible. The next time I arrange for someone to come, it will be when the chicken seedlings arrive.

I don't care how you distribute the chicks, but you must take the animal furs and wild delicacies I mentioned when you leave. Remember to write an IOU, and I'll deduct the money from the money when you sell them when they grow up." Tang Mei repeated the task.

Captain Zhu nodded happily and agreed, "Yes, yes, don't worry, I will do it."
