Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Accountant Zhang was afraid of being poor. He was afraid that Huaiyin Brigade would suffer a disaster again and experience the same thing as decades ago. He wanted to save every penny he had for emergencies.

He gave Zhou Zhigang the money for buying meat and vegetables, and even after they left for a while, his eyes were still fixed on the road where the tractor had left.

There was nothing wrong with Accountant Zhang's behavior. It was the same in his previous life. There were locusts for three consecutive years, and the members of Huaiyin Brigade were so hungry that they went to the mountains to peel tree bark and dig grass roots to eat.

If the brigade had money in its account at that time, things would not have turned out like that later.

In the previous generation, the brigade had no money in the account and was powerless to do anything. But this time it is different. The brigade has set up a tofu factory. According to the current trend, the tofu factory's business will not be bad. As long as the taste remains unchanged, it will not be bad at least before the reform and opening up.

As long as the business can continue, the Huaiyin Brigade in this life will not be the same as the previous life.

"Uncle Zhang, the members of our team have been working overtime day and night to rush the goods and have little time to rest. I was thinking that since tomorrow is the holiday, we should all have a reunion dinner together tonight, and our factory will also have a day off tomorrow."

Tan Yuan explained to him as if she were a junior in the family. Accountant Zhang, who was not angry at all, glanced at her sideways and pretended to be angry.

"You're the factory director, so naturally, whatever you say goes. I just can't bear to let you go..."

The tragic situation back then is still vivid in people's minds, and now people have become accustomed to saving money. Accountant Zhang himself understands that what Tan Yuan did is right. It's just a meal, and the current large army can afford it.

"The brigade doesn't have to bear the responsibility..."

"No need for the brigade headquarters? How can that be possible? You're such a young girl, yet you're so extravagant. You'll need money plenty of times in the future..."

Thinking that Tan Yuan meant that she would treat the guests privately, Accountant Zhang pulled Tan Yuan aside and started chattering again, without any trace of the reluctance he had just shown.

Accountant Zhang taught Tan Yuan to be frugal, as money is not easy to earn. However, if the 18-year-old girl who had just gone to the countryside in her previous life was her, she would probably agree with him and regard Accountant Zhang as her confidant. After all, even though she received a high subsidy every month in her previous life, it never fell into her hands.

As for the Zhao family? They kept the money and subsidies, and kept telling Tan Yuan to tell her uncle and aunt if she didn't have any money and ask them for it.

In fact, they had already determined that in that house where they had taken over, Tan Yuan was no longer the owner of the place, but more like an orphan living under someone else's roof, so how could she have the nerve to ask for pocket money.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhao couple doted on their niece very much and treated her better than their own children.

The Tan Yuan of her previous life has disappeared. Now she carries the soul of several decades later in her shell. Naturally, she does not agree with Accountant Zhang's practice of saving on everything, let alone saving on food.

The body is the capital of revolution. Without a good body, no matter how much money you have, it will be in vain. Tan Yuan has a deep understanding of this.

You can earn money again if you lose it, but if you lose your life, you lose everything. What's more, it's not to the point where you have lost all your money yet, it's just a meal.

Accountant Zhang was stunned by what Tan Yuan said, but he also felt that what she said seemed to make sense and he had no way to refute it.

It's not like the factory can't produce anymore. In the future, he will have to count money every day until his hands cramp.

When Accountant Zhang thought of such a good day, his originally aching heart felt much better.

It is definitely impossible to change your mind in a short period of time, but it may not be possible over a long period of time.

The members of Huaiyin Brigade were used to suffering, so working overtime during this period was not as tiring as Tan Yuan had imagined.

No matter how tiring it is, can it be better than the autumn harvest?

Many people even feel a little regretful, wondering why the order was lost.

However, this regret did not last long. They heard that the team was going to have an event tonight and everyone would have a reunion dinner together.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. In previous years, everyone went back to their own homes, and the educated youth also got together. But this year is interesting, as everyone in the brigade got together for a reunion.

However, when everyone heard what Director Tan Yuan said, they all felt it made sense. Director Tan is like that, he has a very flexible mind.

I don’t know when it started, but the people in Huaiyin Brigade stopped talking about Tan Yuan. Some of them just admired her. They even didn’t add the word “deputy” when calling her, but just called her Director Tan.

Director Tan was also shameless and never corrected it.

Guan Jianguo and Party Secretary Zhou bought some meat while delivering goods, but the brigade had no shortage of vegetables.

The vegetables that were originally eaten by locusts until not even the stems were left have already sprouted and grown. After being eaten one crop after another, everyone can pick a basketful of them at home. There is no need to spend money to buy them.

Qian Guihua was naturally responsible for cooking, and the rest of the people went back home on holiday, waiting for the reunion dinner.

During the rare break, Grandma Wang went out to chat with the old men and women in the team and weave baskets. Tan Yuan lay in Grandma Wang's favorite spot, holding Grandma Wang's favorite kitten in her arms to bask in the sun. Nian Lin and Li Xiu also sat next to them and the three of them chatted together.

Li Xiu kept talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival scenes of his family in previous years.

"My cousin has a little niece. She's my best friend. She always sticks to me when we celebrate holidays together..."

Every festive season brings a moment of yearning for her family. Li Xiu can only express her longing in this way. She feels sad, and she doesn't know if her family misses her...

As Li Xiu recounted her beautiful memories, Nian Lin's thoughts drifted away, as if she had thought of something interesting. The expression on her face was no longer as serious as usual, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, which was rare.

Her mother died early, but her father is still alive. Having a stepmother is equivalent to having a stepfather. There is no difference between her father being alive and dead. It's just that in that place, with so many eyes watching, some things can't be done too obviously.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family has to get together for a meal, which cannot be changed, but it is inevitable that they will go their separate ways after the reunion dinner. As long as the old man is in Beijing, she always eats extra well every Mid-Autumn Festival.

Whenever Nian Lin thinks of the second family reunion dinner every Mid-Autumn Festival, he feels warm in his heart.

——I wonder how the old man is doing? Has he returned to Beijing? Did you know she went to the countryside?

He probably doesn't know. The old man has such a bad temper. He will definitely be furious when he finds out. He will then find his place in the countryside and try to transfer himself to his side.

But he might not be able to find out. That woman actually dared to touch her, so she must have made sufficient preparations and would not be easily found.
