Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Uncle Tang and the young man from the guard room came to the sales manager's office. The room was filled with a faint smell of tobacco. The sales manager sat behind a large desk and looked at them seriously.

Uncle Tang briefly explained his purpose, with a hint of expectation in his tone. However, the sales manager's answer dashed his hopes.

"Unfortunately, we don't have the spores of the fungus you want." The sales manager shook his head regretfully. "Our seeds are now mainly grains, and we have other arrangements. For vegetable seeds, there are almost no other seeds except the common radishes and greens."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Uncle Tang's eyes, but he still managed a smile. "Oh, that's a shame. We have always been looking forward to working with your company."

The sales manager was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. Then he looked up and said, "However, if you are willing to wait for a while, there may be a chance. Our seed company will go to the provincial capital for a meeting. If there are seeds you need there, we can contact you then."

Uncle Tang looked at the sales manager gratefully, "Thank you for your advice. We also hope that you will have good news. We hope you can inform us in time when the time comes."

After that, Uncle Tang and the young man said goodbye to the sales manager and left the office. Their steps seemed a little heavy, and a sense of helplessness surged in their hearts. But Uncle Tang knew that this was not the end, and he would continue to look for other opportunities.

Tang Mei and her two educated youth sisters were anxiously waiting for Uncle Tang's return outside the door. Their faces were full of anticipation, and they silently prayed for good news about the seeds.

Time passed by, and finally, Uncle Tang San appeared in their sight. Tang Mei and her sisters immediately went to meet him, with hope in their eyes.

However, Uncle Tang's expression made them feel disappointed. He shook his head and said helplessly, "The seed company doesn't have the fungus spores we need."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shattering Tang Mei and her sisters' hopes in an instant. They showed disappointment and frustration on their faces, and their eyes were full of loss.

"How could this happen..., well, this is normal," Tang Mei muttered to herself. In this era, everyone was lucky to have food to fill their stomachs, not to mention vegetables. Tang Mei calmed down.

The two educated youth sisters also sighed silently. They knew that without spores, the village chief's mushroom planting plan might fail.

But Uncle Tang patted Tang Mei on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, we have other ways. Maybe we can go to other places to find seeds, or find a way to cultivate it ourselves."

Tang Mei raised her head and looked at Uncle Tang San, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart. She knew that although this road was full of difficulties, they could not give up easily.

"Yes, we can't just give up like this," she said firmly. "No matter what, we have to find a way to find seeds so that the village can have food to eat."

Pei Yanyan looked at Uncle Tang San and Tang Mei, both of whom had not given up on the search for mushroom spores, and there was a trace of concern in her eyes. She bit her lips lightly, as if thinking about something, and then took the initiative to say, "I can try to find my parents and see if they know anyone at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences." Her voice was firm and sincere, revealing her determination to help.

Tang Mei and Uncle Tang looked at each other, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes. They looked at Pei Yanyan gratefully, and Tang Mei smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Sister Yan. If we can find someone who knows the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, it will be of great help to our search."

Pei Yanyan smiled and nodded, saying, "You're welcome, Comrade Tang and my little apprentice. We are all trying to find mushroom spores so that the villagers can live a better life. I will do my best." Her eyes were full of confidence and determination.

Afterwards, Pei Yanyan took a few people to the post office, bought an envelope and stamps, and began to write down her current needs. She didn't know if what she was doing now would make her family's situation worse, but if she didn't help Uncle Tang and Tang Mei, her conscience would be uneasy.

Tang Mei and the other two were relieved when they saw Pei Yanyan send the letter. No matter what the result was, everyone had tried their best, so there would be no regrets even if there was no success.

"Sister Pei, thank you." Tang Mei held Pei Yanyan's hand.

"My little apprentice, I am also a member of the Bayi Brigade. I also hope that the people in our village can be well, so there is no need to say thank you anymore." Pei Yanyan squatted down and pinched the little girl's face.
