Reborn in the 60s and adopted

"What should we do with all these?" Gao Xiang frowned as he looked at the tree branches that almost filled up half of the courtyard of the Youth League Institute, as well as the dozen or so thick tree stumps. He stretched out his hand to rub his shoulders that were hurt from carrying the heavy stumps.

"All these wood piles need to be sawed into piles of about 70 cm long! In addition, the sawdust must not be cleaned up, as it is the key raw material for mixing the fungus!" Niu Nan looked at the pile of wood in front of him, then rolled up his sleeves without hesitation and started sawing wood without saying a word. "Look, that's how it's done!" As the sharp saw in his hand moved back and forth, a piece of brand new wood fell to the ground.

After witnessing Niu Nan's demonstration, the remaining male comrades in the Youth League Institute immediately threw themselves into their busy work.

Tang Mei stood quietly beside Niu Nan with a dustpan in her hand, and every time he sawed off a piece of sawdust, she quickly swept it into the dustpan. When Niu Nan finally took a break, she quickly seized the opportunity to move closer...

"Technician Niu, what kind of mushrooms are we growing this time?" Tang Mei stared at Niu Nan with her big watery eyes.

"Oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms." Although Niu Nan didn't know why the child asked this, he still answered her.

"Wow, these two kinds of mushrooms are good." Tang Mei thought that especially the oyster mushroom, this kind of mushroom has a very short growth period. In this way, the villagers will see the benefits soon. It seems that this skilled technician did his homework before going to the countryside.

"Hey, little friend, do you know these two kinds of mushrooms?" Niu Nan looked at Tang Mei with some curiosity. If anyone here had seen these two kinds of mushrooms, they would not have asked him to come here to help cultivate them. So how did this little girl from the countryside know about them?

"This...that...Oh, I heard it from a brother or sister in the Youth League Institute. Oops, my memory is so bad that I forgot who said it. I only remember the names of these two mushrooms." Tang Mei counted her fingers guiltily. Oops, she was too careless. How could she reveal that she knew it?

"Haha, children shouldn't worry about adults' affairs." Niu Nan.

"How can I ignore this? I want to help my family grow mushrooms in the future, so that my mother can have an easier time." Tang Mei raised her little head with a disapproving expression.

"Puchi~ You are a very sensible girl, not bad." Niu Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard Tang Mei's expression.

"Of course. Great technicians, don't look down on children. There are also very capable children, like me." Tang Mei said modestly.

"Since you said so, I will allow you to learn how to grow mushrooms in the future." After this conversation, Niu Nan also found a way to communicate with Tang Mei, the little girl.

"Okay, okay." Tang Mei clapped her hands happily.

"Then they can do the next thing. You come and help me collect the wood chips, and I'll go find some husks. I'll teach you how to mix the fungus. But the rack has not been set up yet, so it looks like we have to speed up." After Niu Nan said this to Tang Mei, he arranged for the other educated youth to cut down trees and carry back some bamboo.

Tang Mei looked at the sawdust on the ground and felt a little confused. This was not a task that a child could complete. She decided to find some help first.
