Reborn in the 60s and adopted

That day, the village chief gathered more than a dozen strong laborers in the village and headed towards Tang Yongli's home.

Many people in the village knew that a youth education center was going to be built.

Several educated youth also went to the village chief to ask for leave these days, preparing to join in the house repair work.

On an open space about ten meters away from Uncle Tang, Tang Mei and Tang Li followed two female educated youth, each wearing a bamboo hat specially woven by Uncle Tang, squatting on the ground and clearing the stones on the ground.

There were so many that I had to reserve a corner to pile them up.

"Meimei, Lili, you two should take a break. You are still young, don't get tired." Wang Ran said to the two little girls.

"It's okay, Sister Ran. It's still early. Let's help out for a while before it gets too hot." Tang Mei.

"Yes." Tang Li knew that the rice cakes were bought by two female educated youth and given to Tang Mei's family. Their family started the rice cake business because of their help. Now that the educated youth were repairing their house, she took the initiative to find Mei Mei to show her appreciation.

"You two kids are awesome. I'll give you some candy later." Wang Ran.

"Thank you, sister." They said in unison.

As they were talking, a group of people from the village arrived.

"Thank you for your hard work in helping me, brothers." As the social person for the group, Wang Ran greeted these dozen people first.

"Hey, Wang Zhiqing, you're welcome." Li Guoqiang said. He was just a strong young man in his twenties, and his family was looking for a marriage partner for him. Seeing Wang Zhiqing standing there, he couldn't help but blush.

"Guoqiang, come here." The village chief looked at a dozen young men and a little girl talking there and felt that it was very inappropriate.

"Hey, here they come." More than a dozen people went to the village chief again.

"Compare the size of this house with a few of you, and build four livable rooms, a kitchen, and a toilet. After comparing, use lime to mark the locations, so that you don't have no idea what to do every day." said the village chief.

"Hey," said several people and started to move.

Some were pulling weeds, some were moving stones, and in a short while, the ground became level.

"Wang the educated youth, go and call your male educated youth over." The village chief ordered.

"Ah," Wang Ran simply agreed.

After a while, the three male educated youth followed Wang Ran to the future educated youth station on the open space.

"You three have never renovated your house before, and this time it's your own home, so you three must participate." The village chief looked at them and paused to look at them.

Lu Hua guessed what the village chief meant and spoke quickly.

"Well, we will definitely do the work, don't worry, Village Chief."

"Yes, we won't be lazy." The other two followed suit.

"Well, that's good." The village chief was satisfied with the answers given by the people. "Then I'll arrange some work for you."

"it is good."

"You guys go fetch some water and pour it into the jar first, and then ask the villagers to send you a bigger one later." The village chief ordered.

"Okay," several people agreed and went to get the buckets from the pile of tools brought by the dozen people, preparing to go to the river to fetch water.

"Come here, both of you." The village chief waved to Wang Ran and Pei Yanyan who were moving stones.

"Here we are." Pei Yanyan and Wang Ran walked up to the village chief.

"You two girls, don't come to help on such a hot day."

"Ah." Wang Ran and Pei Yanyan looked at each other.

"What I mean is don't come here. You go cook. There are so many people here. I can't eat lunch while I work for you for nothing." said the village chief.

"Oh, oh, okay, but we don't know how to cook, let alone cooking for so many people." Wang Ran had a sad expression.

The village chief was almost amused. He might not know that the two of them couldn't cook.

"Why don't you two hire two women in the village to help you? You two are not short of money. It's the slack season during the farming season, and I don't know how many people would like to help." After saying this, the village chief still had a look on his face that said, "You two are stupid."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Wang Ran looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Wang Ran took Pei Yanyan and called Tang Mei and Tang Li and ran to Tang's house.

"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law."

Wang Ran shouted loudly several times but no one answered her.

"Sister Ran, my third sister-in-law must still be clearing land in the mountains right now." Tang Mei reminded.

"Oh, I forgot about it in my excitement." Wang Ran patted his head.

"Then let's go find Third Sister-in-law. Meimei and Xiaoli should stay at home. It's a bit hot now." Wang Ran suggested.

"I don't need it. You guys go ahead. I'll go home and cook." Tang Li refused.

"Then I'll go to the mountain with you. I'm not afraid of the sun, and I'll exercise myself at the same time." Tang Mei.

"Okay, let's go then."

Tang Li and the others parted ways at the door.

Soon the three of them found Aunt Tang San on the mountain.

At this moment, Aunt Tang San was working and chatting with a woman of about her age next to her. From time to time, she could hear the woman's giggling sound.

"Third sister-in-law." Wang Ran shouted loudly.

"Hey" Aunt Tang San heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that it was Wang Zhiqing.

"Wang Zhiqing, don't you guys have to go to work today?"

"Yes, we went there to help for a while." Wang Ran walked over, took Aunt Tang San's arm and walked aside.

"Sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with you." Wang Ran acted mysterious, which scared Aunt Tang San, who thought she had something very important and private.

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

"The educated youth from Xiu asked us to provide meals, so we would like to ask you to prepare them. Don't worry, it won't be in vain. Yanyan and I will buy the food, but we are sorry to bother you."

"How many of you are there?" Aunt Tang San breathed a sigh of relief.

"Including our family, there are about twenty people." Wang Ran counted the dozen or so people from the Eighth Brigade, plus three educated youths and the Tang family, and it was about this number.

"I may not be able to cook for so many people." Aunt Tang San was a little worried. The eldest sister-in-law of the Tang family wanted to make rice cakes, which was very time-consuming. She definitely didn't have time.

She didn't plan to take the money from these two people. Usually, they took good care of their family, buying meat every few days, and whether they wanted to buy some fruits. Otherwise, how come his head and his daughter were a little fatter than before in such a short time?

"Then find someone you get along well with, and make sure he or she is clean, otherwise I'm afraid you'll get an upset stomach." Wang Ran suggested.

"But you also know that my sister-in-law is not very free." Aunt Tang San's first choice is still her sister-in-law. She is clean, cooks delicious food, and doesn't like to take advantage of others.

"Hey. Liu Lin, it's me, it's me. I'm free." The woman's name is Liu Fengqun, and she is the wife of Yongzi, a carpenter in the village.

"You." Aunt Tang looked at Old Liu who pushed her away and suddenly didn't know whether she should refuse.

"Yes, yes, Wang Zhiqing, I don't know if you still remember me. When you first came here, you built a cabinet in my house."

When Wang Ran heard her say that, he suddenly remembered.

"Ha, it's my sister-in-law."

"Yes, I remember now. I cook cleanly, really. I don't want any money. Just let me take the leftovers home." She is also a young wife, and her child is about the same age as Tang Mei.

In that era of food shortage, her children grew up skinny. She knew that the educated youth were generous and had given so much last time they opened the cabinet. She would definitely buy meat for the meals this time, and she just wanted the children and the elderly at home to taste the meat.

Tang Mei looked at this aunt. She had heard Uncle San say several times before that the elderly in the family were all sick, so they relied on Uncle Yongzi and Uncle Yongzi to earn work points. In those days, trading was not allowed, so even if they had skills, they could not easily exchange them for money. Goudan and she had played well together before.

"Sister Ran, let this aunt do it. I heard from my uncle that her cooking is delicious."

Tang Mei's baby voice interrupted Wang Ran who was struggling.

"Okay. Just listen to my little apprentice." Wang Ran believed that Tang Mei would not give advice for no reason.

"Oh, thank you, Wang Zhiqing and Pei Zhiqing. I will help my third sister-in-law with cooking." Liu Fengqun's tears were welling up in her eyes with excitement. She would cherish this opportunity.

"Then Yanyan, let's go back to town to buy vegetables now." Wang Ran said.

"Well, third sister-in-law, please go back and cook the meal now. I will buy some food and give you some more later." Pei Yanyan said.

"Okay. Then, Old Liu, shall we go now?" Aunt Tang San.

"I'll be back soon." Liu Fengqun planned to go back and take the peppers that his family had grown with great difficulty this year, and make tiger-skin peppers as a dish.

Pei Yanyan and Wang Ran walked for more than an hour before they finally reached the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.

When I arrived at the place where pork was sold, there were only two large pig bones, a basket of heart and lungs, and a basket of pig large intestines. In this era of severe shortage of oil and water, the most popular meat is pork belly, followed by lean meat. Most people think that bones and offal are a waste of time and do not want to waste that money.

"Comrade, are you out of meat?" Wang Ran asked.

"It's gone. It's your fault for not coming earlier. These are all left. Do you want them?" The salesperson said in an arrogant tone. Wang Ran really didn't want any of them. She looked at Pei Yanyan.

"Yes, but these should not require meat tickets, because these are not meat." Pei Yanyan's bright expression made people dare not underestimate her unless she smiled.

"No tickets are needed. If you want, just give me 2 cents and I'll give you an extra serving of pork liver." The salesperson put away his arrogance.

"Okay, tie them up and give them to me, and I'll give you the money." Pei Yanyan counted out 2 cents and handed it to him.

The salesperson handed it over deftly.

After buying the meat, the two men bought some cigarettes and alcohol and walked for more than an hour back to the Bayi Brigade.
