Reborn in the 60s and adopted

A few days later, in the early morning, before dawn, the village was filled with a noisy atmosphere.

A dozen young and strong men carefully selected by the village chief, with the help of the villagers, carried sack after sack of grain and placed them on the cart.

Walking in the front were Uncle Tang, who was pulling a cart of food, and Tang Mei, who liked to join in the fun.

Along the way, they met many other villagers who came to deliver public grain. These people were haggard and yellow-faced, with no joy of a good harvest on their faces.

Tang Mei looked at their expressions and could not help but feel a little sad. In this era, people are often hungry and poor, and not having enough food and clothes is the norm; however, in the future world where she came from, there is a lot of food waste, and many people even throw away the food they can't finish.

Just as Tang Mei was thinking about something, the team in front suddenly stopped moving forward.

"Dad, what's going on? Why isn't it moving?" That's right. Ever since she came back from the county town that day, Tang Mei had changed the way she addressed Uncle Tang. At this moment, standing in this place where there was no village in front and no store behind, she asked her dad with a puzzled look in her heart.

"We are queuing here," explained Uncle Tang. We are still a little late this year! I am afraid that some people have already started queuing last night?" Uncle Tang sighed to Tang Mei beside him, and turned to the crowd behind him and shouted loudly: "The road ahead is very congested, let's take a break here for a while, and continue to move forward when the road is clear. "

So the group stopped and waited for several hours. At about noon, they finally arrived at the grain station.

At this moment, the grain station before our eyes is a two-story building made of green bricks and tiles.

When it was their turn, Uncle Tang San quickly took out the bag he had brought with him and walked into the office where the officer was. Not long after, a young man with a dagger in his hand and two pockets on his back followed him out.

Everyone watched as the young man thrust the tool in his hand into the sack, and when he pulled it out, it was covered with nearly a handful of grain. He then picked up the grain and examined it carefully.

"Well, it's really quite good! Without a doubt, this is first-class food!"

After hearing this, the villagers were all ecstatic, because first-class food meant that they did not need to pay more food to the grain station, so that every villager could get more food!

"Brothers, come and give us a hand, move all the grain into the house!" Following Uncle Tang's loud call, more than a dozen strong men took action. Each of them carried a heavy sack on their shoulders and went back and forth between the trucks and the grain station. It took a lot of effort to successfully unload all the grain and pile it on the ground.

"Meimei, go sit inside for a while. Dad has already greeted the people inside. See? There's a small bench over there. Just wait for dad there." Before they started moving, Uncle Tang quickly told his little girl to find a safe place to stay so that she wouldn't get bumped into by accident when there were too many people around.

"Yes, I got it." Tang Mei nodded obediently, then walked into the grain station secretary's office with small steps.

As soon as she opened the door, Tang Mei found that the room was completely empty, with only a few extremely simple long tables and chairs and a few simple benches.

Tang Mei picked a table with nothing on it and sat down obediently, then took out the small bag that Uncle Tang had given her and examined it carefully. She was completely immersed in it and didn't pay attention to the situation around her, so she didn't notice the pleasant voice of the girl who suddenly exclaimed in admiration and sounded quite familiar.

Tang Mei looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl standing at the door. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was an old acquaintance. It turned out to be the fat girl she had met at the supply and marketing cooperative before.

"Hello, can you give me this bag?" A chubby little girl walked up to Tang Mei with her short legs, raised her head, and stared at the schoolbag Tang Mei was carrying.

"You have such a big face." Tang Mei retorted unhappily.

"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, the little fat girl stretched out her chubby little hands and touched her face, wondering: It's not big!

"You are so shameless. Do we know each other? Just let me give you the bag." Tang Mei rolled her eyes at her and hid her schoolbag behind her.

"You..." Wang Jiaojiao knew she was in the wrong, but didn't want to give up the beautiful schoolbag in front of her, so she relied on her strong body and planned to snatch it directly.

Tang Mei was quick-witted and quick-handed. She dodged Wang Jiaojiao's outstretched hand by moving sideways, then quickly raised her right hand and slapped the back of her hand with a "snap".

"Do you think you can snatch the things of the young lady? If you don't get beaten, who will?" Tang Mei said, glaring at Wang Jiaojiao.

"You... wuwuwu~" Wang Jiaojiao was completely speechless now. She opened her mouth and burst into tears with a "wah".

Tang Mei was at a loss as to what to do after she cried. She looked at the crying little fat girl in front of her and felt helpless. She was hesitating whether to leave here immediately.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed in from outside the door. He spoke before he arrived: "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?" Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward in two steps, hugged the little fat girl tightly in his arms, and comforted her softly.

"Dad, I wanted that beautiful little bag! I told her several times to give it to me, but she refused. Not only that, she even said I was too shameless! What's worse, she just hit my hand..." The little fat girl Wang Jiaojiao sobbed as she narrated the whole story in a halting manner, then raised her little hand, which had turned red.

The man holding her couldn't help laughing after hearing his precious daughter's aggrieved words. He blew gently on his daughter's chubby red hands and said softly, "Okay, my dear, stop crying. Let daddy take a closer look. Has your little face become fatter again?"

The little fat girl, who was still immersed in sadness, stopped crying immediately after hearing this. She blinked her big watery eyes and stared at her father without blinking. She begged in a baby voice, "Dad, please look carefully. Has my face become fatter?"

Tang Mei, who was standing nearby, was already laughing so hard that she fell backwards. The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at Tang Mei, who was laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. He didn't say anything to blame her, but turned his head and continued to talk gently with his beloved daughter.

"Jiaojiao, didn't daddy ever teach you that you shouldn't easily accept gifts from others? If you really like it, you should first ask the other party if they are willing to sell it. Even if it can be transferred, daddy will pay for it before giving it to you. Do you understand?" the middle-aged man said in a heavy tone.

At first, he entrusted his daughter to his mother-in-law to take care of her in order to come here for work. Now that his job has become stable, his daughter's temperament has changed drastically, becoming unruly and unreasonable. Because he is worried that entrusting the child to others will lead to more serious consequences, he can only carry her with him and take her with him wherever he goes, hoping to correct his daughter's character.

"Well, Dad, I know I was wrong." Wang Jiaojiao showed an expression of realizing her mistake.

"That's right, my dear girl. Now, go find that little girl, apologize to her sincerely, and ask if she can give you the bag."

Wang Jiaojiao obediently followed her father's instructions and walked towards where Tang Mei was.

"Sister, I'm really sorry. I really shouldn't have snatched your things just now. If you think it's inappropriate, how about this, I'll buy the bag for you, okay?" At this moment, Wang Jiaojiao's face was full of sincerity, and she was completely different from before.

Tang Mei looked at Wang Jiaojiao, whose attitude was sincere, and thought that she seemed to have really realized her mistake.

"Okay, I accept your apology. However, this bag was given to me by my father, so I need to get his consent before selling it to you." Tang Mei recalled what the middle-aged man said just now. She felt that he was honest and upright, and he was wearing a cadre uniform with four pockets, which gave people a sense of trustworthiness. Tang Mei did not want to cause any trouble because of this matter.

"Okay, then go ask your dad." Wang Jiaojiao said happily, her eyes always fixed on the bag that she couldn't let go.

After Tang Mei readily agreed, she asked Wang Jiaojiao and her father to stay in the house, while she quickly walked out of the room to find her third uncle.

Tang Mei searched everywhere in the grain station and after a lot of effort, she finally found Uncle Tang carrying a sack in a corner.

"Dad, a little girl wanted to buy my bag just now." Tang Mei followed Uncle Tang closely, and couldn't wait to report the situation to him.

"Little girl?" When he came today, he heard the young clerk inside say that a deputy mayor with his daughter would come today to inspect the grain. Could it be the deputy mayor?

"Ah."

"My girl! Did you have any conflict with that little girl?" Uncle Tang asked worriedly as he gently put down the sack on his shoulder. He knew very well that the daughter of the deputy mayor was quite fierce and difficult to deal with. It was said that after coming to our town, she scolded all the children in the town government, and no one dared to provoke her.

"No, Dad, what's the matter?" Tang Mei was full of doubts. She didn't understand why her uncle suddenly asked this and seemed so nervous.

"Oh, nothing. Let's go. Dad, I'll go with you." Without saying a word, Uncle Tang held Tang Mei's little hand tightly, turned around and walked quickly towards the office where Tang Mei had just been.
