Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Ergou listened to Guo Changsheng's words, took a kettle from behind and placed it on the table, then opened the lid and deliberately poured water slowly. The water in the cup was still emitting thick white smoke, which made people feel that the cup was extremely hot.

Jiang Qing swallowed his saliva. He really didn't want to experience the painful feeling of having his throat scalded by boiling water again. He decided to compromise and said, "If you have any questions, just ask them. As long as it's something I know, I will tell you honestly."

Hearing this, Guo Changsheng nodded with satisfaction, and asked in a still cold tone: "Very good, it seems that you have understood the gap between us. So now tell me, what is Tang Mei doing recently? What did she do when she went to the county some time ago?"

After hearing this question, Jiang Qing's heart tightened suddenly. He knew that he couldn't reveal any information about Tang Mei, but if he didn't answer, the consequences would be very serious.

Guo Changsheng quietly observed the ever-changing expressions on Jiang Qing's face, and a mocking smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why, do you still want to taste the taste of boiled water?"

Jiang Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, and he cursed the abominable guy in his heart, but he also knew that he could not hide it any longer. So, he decided to pick some unimportant things to tell the other party, and he had made up his mind to confess everything to Secretary Xiao Tang when he returned home.

Jiang Qing tried to keep his voice calm and said, "Secretary Xiao Tang went to the county because her cousin had a boyfriend who was a buyer, and she just went to support her cousin. As for recently, she has been busy with greenhouse vegetables in Shuangjing Brigade."

Guo Changsheng frowned slightly and tapped the table lightly with his thumb, seeming dissatisfied with the news.

The topic he heard most recently was about greenhouse vegetables, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

"So what are the results of the greenhouse vegetables?" Guo Changsheng asked.

Jiang Qing secretly groaned in his heart, wondering why this guy suddenly asked this question.

However, he thought he could get the answer by just asking anyone, so he answered truthfully: "It's OK. These vegetables can be sold tomorrow."

Guo Changsheng's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he continued to ask: "How many vegetables did you plant in total?"

Jiang Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and told the truth: "There are as many as ten sheds."

"Heh~" Guo Changsheng snorted coldly. He could imagine how much money his ten-shed vegetable farm would make when all the vegetables were off the market in autumn! This woman is really not simple. If she continues like this, will her father's position still be able to hold on? Humph, since Tang Mei is so capable, he will give her another big gift. Thinking of this, Guo Changsheng showed a sinister smile on his face.

"Someone, lock him up for me and release him tomorrow morning." Guo Changsheng ordered coldly.

The next morning, before daybreak, Tang Mei got up early. Although she tried to be as quiet as possible, she still woke up Luo Xiuyun who was sleeping in the bed next to her.

"Meimei, why are you here so early? Are you going to Shuangjing Brigade now?" Luo Xiuyun rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at the watch on the bedside table, and found that it was just past three o'clock.

"Well, today is the day for picking the first batch of vegetables in our greenhouse. I have to go over there to check out the situation myself." Tang Mei replied while quickly putting on her clothes.

Upon hearing the news, Luo Xiuyun immediately perked up: "Wow, that's great! I want to go with you too!" As she said that, she quickly got up from the bed and put on her clothes with Tang Mei.

Afterwards, the two rode their bicycles together and rushed towards Shuangjing Brigade at lightning speed. Along the way, they excitedly discussed the upcoming harvest scene, their hearts full of anticipation and joy. However, when they gradually approached the greenhouse, they found that something was wrong.

A scorching breath rushed towards them, as if it was going to devour them. As the distance got closer, they finally saw the scene clearly - the 100 greenhouses in front of them were all burning with raging flames! The flames shot up into the sky, like a tyrannical beast, ruthlessly devouring everything in the greenhouse.

"Meimei, what...what happened?" Luo Xiuyun looked ahead with horror and asked in a trembling voice.

Tang Mei was also shocked, but she quickly calmed down. The fire not only burned the fruits of their hard work, but also made her efforts in recent times go to waste. But this is not the time to be sad. She is worried about whether there are still villagers trapped in the greenhouse. If there are casualties, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Tang Mei suppressed her inner grief and anger and said to Luo Xiuyun, "Don't worry about it for now, let's go and see if anyone is injured!" After that, the two of them hurriedly put down their bicycles and ran forward desperately.

Hundreds of people in the village were busy carrying water or fetching water and pouring it on the shed. They didn't care about the two extra people, who also joined in pouring water to put out the fire.

When the morning sun shone on the burnt greenhouse, the fire was finally put out.

Tang Mei observed that the faces of every villager who had just put out the fire were filled with unspeakable pain and despair. Their eyes were empty and lifeless, as if their souls had been pulled out of their bodies. This group of people who were originally full of vitality were now shrouded in deathly silence. Among these people yesterday, some had dreamed of building a big house and marrying a wife after exchanging the vegetables in the greenhouse for money. Now that the greenhouses were all burned down, their hopes were shattered.

"What can we do?"

"This year's meat is gone!"

"Ugh……"

The villagers were talking about it, and some even sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Tang Mei looked at the scene in front of her and felt sad. She knew what these greenhouses meant to the villagers. They were their hard work for a year and their hope for life. Now, everything has turned to ashes.

Tang Mei's heart was heavy, and every step she took was as weak as stepping on cotton. The sighs of pain and disappointment from the villagers echoed in her ears, like sharp blades piercing her heart.

Although she was extremely sad, she understood that the villagers could not bear such losses, and she could still hold on, and it was just a matter of starting over again.

When she walked forward and came to the side of the team leader Wan Zhonghua in another group of people, she saw him squatting on the ground, clutching his hair tightly with both hands, with an expression of extreme pain on his face, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

He murmured to himself: "This is our hard work! How could this happen? How can I explain this to Secretary Xiao Tang, and how can I explain this to the villagers who have been busy during this period of time..." His voice became hoarse and trembling, like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Tang Mei's throat suddenly seemed to be blocked by something, and she could no longer utter words of comfort, because she knew that this was also her hard work.

The women sat together, sobbing softly, tears sliding down their rough faces and dripping onto the ground beneath their feet, soaking a large area.

They stared at the ruins before them, as if they saw fragments of their future lives scattered all over the ground.

Those beautiful visions that I once imagined have now turned into nothing.

"The greenhouse we built with so much effort is gone just like that." They whispered, their tone full of helplessness and despair.

The young men clenched their fists, but they were helpless and fierce. The struggle and powerlessness were intertwined in their hearts. "What is going on? Why did it catch fire? Is it really because God can't stand it? Can't stand us making money soon?"

Tang Mei, who was standing in the crowd, also felt bad. She was also reminded by these words that it was useless to be decadent. Unlucky people will only become more unlucky. Only those who refuse to admit defeat can escape bad luck.

So she took a deep breath, calmed her excitement, and slowly said, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. Although this fire has burned all our hard work, it will never defeat us!

Don't worry, we can buy new films, cut bamboo to build the greenhouse frame, and cultivate seeds and seedlings again. There is still time.

As long as everyone works together, we can grow another crop of vegetables, and when this batch of vegetables matures, it will be just in time for the Chinese New Year, and we will definitely be able to sell them for a good price! So, I hope everyone will not be discouraged and must cheer up! "
