Reborn in the 60s and adopted

"Oh, these are all small matters, no problem! So what you want is what Director Song mentioned before?" Deputy Director Wu asked kindly.

"Yes, have you calculated the price?" Tang Mei asked again.

"Yes, the price list is here. I'm giving you the most favorable price. Just bring the money and pick up the goods." Deputy Director Wu said enthusiastically.

"Okay, thank you." Tang Mei thanked sincerely.

"Haha, you don't have to be so polite. If you can come to the next exhibition, please remember to help promote our factory." Deputy Director Wu made a small request without losing any opportunity.

Tang Mei smiled and replied, "Okay, I will probably come and participate."

After all, she has a bigger goal - to bring the specialty products of the Bayi Production Brigade to an international exhibition!

In the evening, as soon as Tang Mei returned to Pei's house, she couldn't wait to call the Jinshan Town Office...

In the Jinshan Town Government Office, Tang Yongli has been waiting in the office after dinner every day since his daughter Tang Mei left for Kyoto, for fear of missing a call from his daughter.

That day, Tang Yongli was reading the newspaper leisurely in the office as usual, when suddenly the phone rang. He immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and quickly answered the phone.

"Is it Meimei?"

"Dad, you haven't gone home yet? I'm just trying to see if anyone will pick me up."

"Oh, it was just a coincidence. I was strolling towards the office when I heard the phone ringing." Tang Yongli tried to downplay the incident. He didn't want his daughter to think that he was waiting for her call, and he didn't want her to know that he was actually worried about her.

"Dad, that's why we can be father and daughter. It turns out that we are so in tune with each other!" Tang Mei joked mischievously.

"Meimei, stop talking nonsense. Phone calls are expensive. If you have anything important to say, just tell us quickly. We can talk when we get back." Tang Yongli looked at the clock on the wall. Time passed by minute by minute. He felt a little sorry for the long-distance call fee, but he was reluctant to hang up the call with his daughter.

"Dad, let me make it short. First, I bought some machinery but haven't paid for it yet. You can ask Brother Jianguo to rent a car to bring it up. Second, my design drawings have been sold. Third, you can organize people to make the bamboo frames and baskets, screens, lamp covers and the like that were placed at home more exquisite. Oh, and make more of the bags with flowers, birds, insects and herbs that you woven for me before. You can check them yourself and I will use them to exchange for foreign currency. As soon as possible." Tang Mei paused after she finished speaking.

"Dad, did you listen to me?"

Tang Yongli was so shocked that he didn't know what to do. When Tang Mei asked him if he heard anything, he was still immersed in the huge shock and couldn't extricate himself. It took him a long time to recover and he stammered, "You...what did you say just now?"

Tang Mei thought her father didn't hear what she said clearly, so she patiently repeated it again, but Tang Yongli still looked incredulous, as if he was doubting whether he had heard it wrong.

"Dad!" Tang Mei shouted impatiently into the receiver, but no one responded. She was immediately furious and couldn't help but yelled, "What a lousy communication. It's such a critical moment, and you actually failed me."

On the other side, Tang Yongli finally came to his senses at this moment.

He coughed twice and said, "Daughter, I heard everything. Daughter, is what you said true? You can't play tricks on me. Don't brag."

Tang Mei was angry: "Dad, when have I ever lied to you so much? You don't believe me. You organize the people first. I will call you tomorrow after I sign the contract."

Tang Yongli was so happy that his mouth stretched to his ears: "Yeah, yeah, OK, as long as my daughter doesn't brag, my daughter is capable and can earn this foreign exchange."

Tang Mei rolled her eyes at the air. Her father was questioning her. She had to speak with strength, so she interrupted her father: "Dad, long-distance calls are expensive. I'm hanging up now."

Tang Yongli held the receiver in his hand. He heard the sound of the phone being hung up from the other end. He immediately cursed, "What a bastard. Didn't you just say that the phone bill was expensive? You actually gave it back to me."

After cursing, thinking about the foreign exchange he had earned, he put his hands behind his back, looked like an old man going out on the street, and staggered to find Wang Chengsheng to report and show off.

Secretary Wang was sitting on a recliner in the yard, eating a watermelon grown in the greenhouse this year.

Tang Yongli entered the yard quietly without knocking.

Wang Chengsheng really wanted to take the small piece of watermelon that was left on the bamboo low table that Tang Yongli gave him, but he searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

He began to wonder if he had pushed him to the ground. When he turned around, he saw that the remaining half of the watermelon was already in Tang Yongli's mouth, and he was chewing it, making a "slurping" sound.

"Old Tang, why are you here and why did you eat my watermelon?" Wang Chengsheng asked with a smile.

Tang Yongli finished the last bite. "Don't I have good news for you?"

Wang Chengsheng looked at him doubtfully: "Is there anything else in this commune that you can know before me?"

Tang Yongli pretended to be mysterious and said, "Hey, don't disbelieve me, it really exists. Do you want to listen?"

Wang Chengsheng looked at him for a long time: "Let me guess, does Meimei have any good news in Kyoto?"

Tang Yongli gave a thumbs up: "You are awesome."

Wang Chengsheng suddenly became interested: "What good news is this? Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us now."

"Two pieces of good news. First, she bought a lot of new farm tools and machinery for our commune in Kyoto."

"That's great. You can't get it in Kyoto without an approval. Meimei is really capable." Wang Chengsheng praised sincerely.

"Of course not. It doesn't matter whose daughter she is, she looks like me." Tang Yongli looked proud.

"Well, you should be so proud. There is another good news." Wang Chengsheng stood up from the rocking chair, eager to know.

"She said that she will try to sign a contract as the chief editor of a product tomorrow and get our commune's chief editor to take action." Tang Yongli said lightly.

"Hey, Meimei is really capable."

"That's right. Not everyone has the ability to generate foreign exchange for our Jinshan Town by just going to Kyoto." Tang Yongli now felt like he was still floating in the sky.

Wang Chengsheng was shocked. He firmly believed that Meimei could sell the things, but he didn't expect that she would sell them to foreigners.

"Is this true?"

Tang Yongli nodded.

"Don't advertise it yet. After Meimei gets the foreign exchange, we will report it and give our county and the province a surprise." Wang Chengsheng walked around the rocking chair excitedly. Suddenly he looked at the rocking chair and said, "How about taking my rocking chair and exchanging it for foreign exchange?"

Tang Yongli rolled his eyes and said, "Old Wang, although you are taller than me, you are not as good as me in this respect. People want new things, but yours has been used and has started to patina. You are still using it to earn foreign exchange. Isn't this a sheer disgrace to our Jinshan Town?"

Wang Chengsheng didn't feel embarrassed at all and immediately became excited: "Old Tang, why are you still standing here? It's getting dark. Why don't you go and mobilize people quickly?"

Tang Yongli was helpless: "I'm excited too. Anyway, I don't want to walk tonight."

Wang Chengsheng looked like he was disappointed with his sister: "How come my sister has a father like you who holds her back? How come I am not her father?"

Tang Yongli suddenly felt a sense of crisis: "Old Wang, you already have Jiaojiao, my daughter has nothing to do with you, don't dream of my daughter becoming your daughter, that's impossible"

And on the other side,

After making the call, Tang Mei went to Wang's house and asked Wang Ran to work for her. She drew the pattern with a pencil, and Wang Ran outlined and colored it. The two of them were busy until late at night and finally completed dozens of design drafts.

After Tang Mei put away the manuscript, she said to Wang Ran cheerfully, "Sister, I'll give you a share of the money when I make it."

Wang Ran waved his hand: "No, I'll just make something simple. The composition and style are all designed by you. There's no need."

"Sister, you are getting married soon, so you have to have your own money to have the confidence. This is given by your younger sister. It is different from what your brother and godmother give you. If you don't accept it, I won't ask you for help in the future." Tang Mei glared at her pretending to be very angry.

Wang Ran hadn't seen this little girl so angry for many years. Suddenly he couldn't stop laughing when he saw her, "Hahaha."
