Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Tang Mei stayed in Kyoto for about another half a month, accompanying Huang Peiling, David, Alice and others. Every day, they rode in a Red Flag car, traveling back and forth between the historical sites left over from Kyoto's past.

Just when her lips were almost peeling due to the translation work in the past few days,

Finally, Tang Jianguo led several cars.

The things she needed to exchange for foreign currency were delivered to the dock.

Tang Mei went to the Friendship Hotel to find the person she was working with and settled all the balance.

She quickly followed Tang Jianguo's car and loaded the farm tools and machinery she had bought, preparing to return home.

Being a translator is tiring, and riding in a truck where you can't open your legs is even more tiring. The food is not good either, you have to make your own pot to cook, and cut some bacon and sausages that can be stored. You can imagine the quality of the food. Also, if you want to open the window, you have to eat dust every day.

Although, the road was said to be the safest option by the lead car, and no one could refute it.

The car had been driving for more than half a month. Tang Mei's butt was almost ulcerated. Finally, she arrived at the provincial capital.

Tang Mei is increasingly impressed by the truck drivers who deliver and pick up her goods. Although they can be replaced, it is really not easy for them to persist in driving all the way.

Tang Jianguo looked at Tang Mei, who was obviously in high spirits.

He smiled and teased, "I heard from Uncle San that you were going to look for that kid Lin Xiao?"

Tang Mei raised her eyebrows and said helplessly: "My dad is spreading it everywhere."

Tang Jianguo laughed.

Explained: "That's right,

Uncle San's eldest daughter is dating someone.

In a few years I will get married and leave home.

The old man couldn’t bear to let it go.”

Tang Mei glanced at Tang Jianguo with a half-smile.

Suddenly asked: "Brother, you are still ahead of me, what's going on between you and Xiuyun? When do you plan to meet the parents?"

Tang Jianguo didn't expect the topic to suddenly shift to himself.

His face turned red all of a sudden, and he said a little embarrassedly:

"Oh, my dear sister, your brother was talking about you, but you ended up talking about me instead."

Tang Mei curled her lips and said, "I don't care anyway. How can you only say things about me and not about you?"

Tang Jianguo sighed helplessly, "You are the one who holds grudges the most."

Tang Mei blinked.

Curiously asked: "Tell me, my dear brother, I am with Xiuyun every day,

How did you two get together? It seems like you two haven’t met much.”

Tang Jianguo's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes as he recalled every little detail of his time with Xiuyun.

"That's what you think. You, as a secretary, may have forgotten that I ran around for you in Jinshan Town last year.

This truck is almost becoming your commune's exclusive vehicle.

Xiuyun saw that I was always in the wind and rain, so she knitted me gloves and sweaters and often brought me meals.

Unlike you, who is so heartless and only knows to call me when something happens,

I never cared whether your brother was cold or hot, or hungry or anything like that."

As Tang Jianguo spoke, he thought about how good his little girlfriend was to him, and he felt very happy inside.

After hearing what her brother said, Tang Mei couldn't help but feel ashamed. She was indeed not as considerate as Sister Xiuyun.

They are both in a relationship. She is busy with work during this period.

It seems that I have indeed neglected to care for Lin Xiao.

She lowered her head silently, wondering whether she should pay more attention to Lin Xiao.

"Brother, how did Sister Xiuyun treat you in private?"

Tang Mei suddenly asked, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

Hearing this, Tang Jianguo's face flushed slightly, and he looked a little uncomfortable. "This is my private matter. How can you, as a sister, ask about my brother's private affairs?"

Tang Mei looked at her brother's slightly red face and smiled secretly in her heart.

She certainly understood that in this era, people's ideas were relatively conservative, which was very different from later generations.

I think the most that happened between my brother and Sister Xiuyun was just holding hands or something like that.

But since that was the case, she didn't ask any further questions.

After all, this kind of thing still depends on yourself, and you have to explore and experience it slowly.

Tang Mei decided to change the subject, "Brother, do you know the exact location of Lin Xiao's unit?"

Tang Jianguo nodded, indicating that he knew. "He wrote to me before and told me about it. I also drove past there."

"How far is it from here?" Tang Mei asked impatiently.

Tang Jianguo replied, "It's not far. We can reach our destination by crossing another town. Although they claim to be in the province, it is actually quite a long way from the provincial capital."

"Brother, please help me find a guesthouse when we arrive in town. I want to have a good wash and change into a beautiful dress." Tang Mei requested.

Tang Jianguo turned around and glanced at Tang Mei, who looked a little tired and had a dusty face. He couldn't help but teased her, "Well, you really need to tidy up. Look at how dirty you are now. Be careful that Lin Xiao will dislike you when he sees you later."

"No, it's just right. I can look for it again." Tang Mei didn't have to hang herself on a tree.

"Meimei, your attitude towards love is wrong.

When you are dating someone, you should aim to be with them for your whole life.

If this one doesn't work, try the next one.

I stopped here with this sentence.

Don’t mention it again in the future.”

Tang Jianguo said in a serious tone while driving.

Tang Mei could sense his seriousness even though she was standing next to him, and she didn't even dare to say a word in rebuttal.

"I know, bro.

Please drop me off in town and go back.

I can go there by car.

In addition, you give the foreign exchange receipt to Secretary Wang,

Don't forget to remind him to change it.

It can’t be too long.”

Tang Mei thought it would be better to change the subject.

Otherwise, if my elder brother starts nagging me, I don’t know when it will end.

Tang Jianguo hummed, then drove in silence;

It was not until they arrived in town that Tang Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly jumped out of the car and waved to him to leave quickly.

Tang Jianguo rolled down the window, gave her a few words of advice, and asked her to be careful, then he drove away with several trucks.

Tang Mei took her letter of introduction, found a guesthouse in the town, asked for an hourly room, got a kettle of hot water, and began to hum a song while washing herself from head to toe.

After taking a shower, I checked out of the room and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two bags of candy and biscuits.

After asking along the way, we finally found a ox cart going to a village near the army and set off happily.

The man driving the ox cart was a bearded old man. Looking at Tang Mei, a pretty girl with lots of bags, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Little girl, are you going to visit your relatives in the army?"

Tang Mei was in a good mood and started chatting: "Yes, uncle, how did you know? What if I went to work in the army?"

The old man shook his head, smiled and whipped the cow's butt and said, "Little girl, I have sharp eyes. Your family probably won't let you, a fair and clean little girl, work in the wind and sun. Anyway, you are not cut out for work."

Tang Mei pursed her lips in amusement, secretly sighing in her heart that fortunately she had inherited Li Shuzhen's cold white skin. Even after several months of wind and sun, her skin had not changed much.

"Look, since you didn't say anything, you agreed. Are you here to meet someone?" The old man looked very proud, as if he had already guessed the answer.

Tang Mei couldn't help laughing and nodded in agreement, "You did guess it right." She couldn't help but admire this old man in her heart. It turned out that the old ones are the most experienced!

"Then let me guess again. Your partner should hold some position in the army." The old man continued to guess with interest.

Tang Mei smiled helplessly and explained: "Uncle, I don't know about this. This is my first time here too."

After hearing what she said, the old man turned around and looked at her. This look frightened Tang Mei a lot.

Her heart was beating in her throat.

There were ditches on both sides, and if the old man patted the cow's butt, it would roll down. He even turned his head to look at him;

She was afraid that the cow would turn its head along with the old man, and then both the car and she would fall into the ditch.

The old man looked at Tang Mei with a condemning look in his eyes and said, "Little girl,

If you just talked to your boyfriend, I wouldn't say anything to you, but it seems like...

You two must have known each other for quite some time, right?

I don't even know what position your partner holds.

The person you are talking to is a little off topic!

If you don't like it, tell them clearly as soon as possible.

Don't delay others.

Soldiers in the army are all heroes who defend their country, so don’t hurt their feelings.”
