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

"Secretary, I'm selling these chestnuts. This sister just saw me and wanted to help me."

Before Tan Yuan could reply, Zeng Erwa took the initiative to explain, immediately excluding Tan Yuan's relationship and pretending that they did not know each other.

"Oh? So Captain Tan is kind-hearted."

Secretary Qian said with a smile, took out the money to pay Zeng Erwa, and then signaled to Tan Yuan with his eyes.

Tan Yuan understood. "You stay busy here first. I'll go talk to Secretary Qian."

The two men walked away, and Zeng Erwa stretched his neck to look.

"Are you still selling it? I want half a pound."

Someone came to buy the fragrant roasted chestnuts. Zeng Erwa was multitasking. Seeing that Tan Yuan and Secretary Qian did not seem to be arguing, he put his mind at ease and concentrated on his chestnut business.

Secretary Qian asked Tan Yuan about the situation in Huaiyin Brigade.

"It's almost the end of the year. How's the construction of your brigade's new factory going?"

The closer it got to the end of the year, the more things the commune had to do. Secretary Li, who had been with him for several years, was sent out, and Secretary Qian became even busier. He had no time to go to Huaiyin Brigade.

"Not bad. The construction team is quite responsible. We estimate it will be completed by February. However, I'd like to trouble you, Secretary, to keep an eye on the machinery."

Secretary Qian was also impressed by Tan Yuan's ability to seize opportunities.

However, this machine was bought to make canned fish, and the commune would also share in the profits created, so he would naturally do his best.

Regarding the machine, the two talked about other things, and Secretary Qian remembered the meeting he had attended in the county two days ago.

"The county attaches great importance to this trade fair. You came up with this idea. Do you have any special ideas?"

"idea?"

Tan Yuan wondered why Secretary Qian suddenly changed the topic to the trade fair?

But counting the days, it seems that it is almost time to set up the venue.

"Since you've mentioned it, I'll shamelessly talk to you about it. Please also help our team fight for it."

Tan Yuan had a shy face. She didn't think she was being shameless in making demands. She was clearly fighting for her legitimate rights and interests.

"As for this trade fair, honestly, I've already drawn up the blueprints. Besides the county factory booths, we can also organize a performance so people can watch it while browsing our booths. It's called combining work and rest. And..."

Tan Yuan rubbed her hands together. Now that she had made her suggestion, it was time for a request. "Here's what I was thinking: We're the ones organizing this trade show. How about getting our team a good spot? Like... somewhere visible right at the entrance?"

"That's it? So simple?"

After so much preparation, there was only such a small condition in the end, which made Secretary Qian feel unreal.

"Well, it's that simple. Our brigade sells canned fish. I think we can set up a pot like today and let the visitors taste the fish from our commune."

She specifically changed the words "Huaiyin Brigade" to "commune". This little trick could not be hidden from Secretary Qian, who had been fighting alone in the officialdom for many years, but he still found it very useful.

"I'll do my best to negotiate with the county government to make our commune's stall bigger and more spacious. If not, can we get a few tables and benches?"

"That's great! I didn't expect you to be so good at business. Why didn't I think of that?"

It was originally a joke, but after Tan Yuan said it, it seemed like he had become some great business genius.

The girl in front of him was only eighteen or nineteen, not much older than his own daughter. He didn't know how she was raised, but how could she be so sophisticated and smooth without sounding worldly? Even her flattery was so perfect that it was hard to dislike her even if you wanted to.

Secretary Qian wanted Secretary Li to leave Huaiyin Brigade and send his own daughter to study there instead.

Of course, this is impossible...

"Okay, go back and help that young man sell chestnuts. Don't tell me about the taste of the chestnuts he sells."

Secretary Qian's casual compliment made Tan Yuan feel relaxed and refreshed. She had roasted the chestnuts herself, so wasn't Secretary Qian simply praising her? Hehe.

In my previous life, when I couldn’t sleep at night, I would watch cooking videos. Now I think it was all thanks to my insomnia in my previous life.

After Secretary Qian left, Tan Yuan walked back and began to ponder the hidden meaning of Secretary Qian's words.

Perhaps someone stole the idea of ​​the trade fair, but this was also to be expected. She was enjoying the glory in Huaiyin Brigade now, and it would be nothing to her in a wider world.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades, you still need to work hard!"

Tan Yuan sighed.

Just pick the peaches. When she becomes stronger, there will always be a day when others will not dare to pick them.

Tan Yuan was quite open-minded and returned to Zeng Erwa without showing any signs of abnormality, continuing to help sell roasted chestnuts.

When there was no one around, Zeng Erwa dared to quietly ask the doubts in his heart.

"Sister, who was that person just now? He didn't criticize you, did he?"

"He's the secretary of our commune. Why would he criticize me? He actually praised the delicious chestnuts you sell."

Tan Yuan smiled and said that she was very touched by Zeng Erwa's concern, but she knew in her heart that Zeng Erwa's concern for her was all based on her acquaintance with Guan Jianguo.

If Guan Jianguo didn't serve as a bond between the two of them, I don't know how much care would remain.

It is not Tan Yuan's character to be sad about the passing of time. She just wants to live in the present. If Zeng Erwa treats her well, she will treat Zeng Erwa well. If Guan Jianguo breaks up with her one day and Zeng Erwa also breaks off their friendship with her, then respect will be her answer.

"What? The commune secretary? Did the secretary praise me, oh no, he praised the chestnuts I made, sister, for being delicious?"

Zeng Erwa's ability to grasp the key points is not weak at all. He grasped both points accurately and did not notice a single hair of Tan Yuan's little thoughts.

"What's with the you and me? The secretary is praising us. We're both together."

Tan Yuan also thought this child was quite interesting. She changed from being Sister Tan to being a big sister, and occasionally, when not needed, she could become a stranger. It was really to her liking.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Erwa connected Tan Yuan's words with Secretary Qian's words.

The commune secretary called his sister-in-law Captain Tan. Oh my goodness, his sister-in-law is the brigade captain, so no matter what kind of captain she is, she is still a captain! His brother Guan is actually dating the brigade captain.

No, no, no...

Zeng Erwa shook his head vigorously, throwing out all the messy words, leaving only the most important point.

——The team leader started doing business with him!

He actually started a business with the brigade leader?! How many lives does he have, God?!

Stiff neck, dull expression, slightly bulging eyes...
