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

What surprised everyone except Tan Yuan was that spicy strips were only sold later and the price was not high, only one cent a pack, but the sales amount actually surpassed the other two main foods of the brigade.

It turned out to be just as Tan Yuan said before, spicy strips will definitely become popular throughout Shu.

In fact, Tan Yuan’s original words were that spicy strips would become popular all over the country, but no one dared to believe it, so she changed it to become popular throughout Shu.

Now that the production lines of spicy strips are increasing one after another, the original production lines of canned fish and dried tofu will naturally be squeezed out. Even the old factory has been reopened, but it is still not enough. Even if there is a way to increase the site, there is still not enough manpower.

The factory is important, but the land is still important. People must be assigned to grow food. Without food, what will they eat and drink in the autumn?

There are not enough people. Even if we work overtime from morning to night and then from night to morning, this situation cannot be changed.

What's more, people are not machines. If they really work overtime for 24 hours a day, anyone will be exhausted.

What does it mean to be in pain and happy? The current situation is called being in pain and happy.

We must find a way to resolve this situation and cannot continue, especially now that it is the second half of the year. The closer it gets to the Chinese New Year, the busier it will be. Letting them watch their money slip away again is more painful than making them eat shit.

The Huaiyin Brigade was too busy, which only meant that their brigade's factory was doing good business and could make enough money. With money, there were naturally many ways to buy food. However, many brigades in the commune formed a sharp contrast with the Huaiyin Brigade.

There is no food. Even potatoes and sweet potatoes are gone. People have started digging up the grass and Guanyin soil on the nearby mountains to eat.

We are all from the same commune. In previous years when the weather was good and everyone had enough food to eat, we were naturally neighbors and fellow villagers. But when people were really starving to death, this friendship was thinner than paper.

Tan Yuan sat in her office calculating last month's accounts. After four months of development, the tofu factory now has five branches and has moved out of Fan City and into the entire Shu area.

There will be more and more branches. If we still pick people from the team as before, it will definitely not be enough. Since the team is not capable, we can only recruit people locally to work in the store.

The previous store clerk will be appointed as the store manager, and an accountant will be sent to each store.

Tan Yuan would occasionally visit those stores to check on the situation, but most of the time she stayed in the Huaiyin Brigade and did her own thing.

It’s not that she likes staying in Huaiyin Brigade, but she would feel unsafe if she left the brigade.

Once, when she went to the next city to look after a shop, she encountered an accident and was almost hit to death by an out-of-control car. Fortunately, someone saw her and pushed her away, otherwise she would have died.

The first time could be considered an accident, but after so many times, Tan Yuan started to make plans in her mind.

Thinking of the letter that Guan Jianguo had someone pass to her, someone wanted to kill her, and finally the task was assigned to Guan Jianguo. Because of this matter, he had not returned to the brigade for more than four months.

Tan Yuan naturally missed her boyfriend because she hadn't seen him for a long time. Of course, she would never admit that she was thinking more about Guan Jianguo's eight-pack abs.

However, the matter is not difficult to guess. Guan Jianguo has not taken any action for a long time, and she has been safe and sound. The other party will definitely be suspicious. Even if they don't doubt her, they will accuse Guan Jianguo of incompetence and replace him with someone who is capable to do the job.

A car that lost control, a road accidentally splattered with oil, a vase that fell from a height...

This isn't "Final Destination", so where do all these tricks come from? Tan Yuan even started to wonder if the person sent by the other side was also reborn.

But that shouldn't be the case. What era is this? The golden age, okay? Only a reborn person would think of committing murder. They should just focus on their careers, right?

All I can say is that people's ideas always come together. Art comes from reality, and the thoughts of people from different generations will always come together at a certain moment and reach similar ideas.

If someone wants to kill you and you have barely managed to save your life, how could you want to lose it? Naturally, you will hide if you can.

Huaiyin Brigade is a good hiding place. No one can do anything to her in the brigade. If a stranger appears, everyone will stare at him like a monkey and won't allow him to do anything.

After such a long period of peace, the only thing that bothered Tan Yuan was that the factory had been in turmoil recently.

There was a disaster last year and many families were in the predicament of not having enough food to eat. Some even had to eat tree bark in the mountains. She wanted to help, but her personal ability was limited.

After finishing the last account, Tan Yuan wrote a few words on it. Just as she put the pen to paper, there was a commotion outside.

"what happened?"

As soon as Tan Yuan opened the door, she ran into the militia.

"We caught a few more... people."

I originally wanted to say that I caught a few thieves, but then I remembered what Tan Yuan said before, that if everyone could have enough to eat, we would all be from the same commune, and we would see each other every day, so who would want to steal food? So I changed my words.

This is already the fourth group of people this month. Thinking of this, Tan Yuan's expression became more serious.

"Take me to see it."

The militia came to her to report the situation, so naturally they had to take her to see it.

The situation was similar to before. He was skinny, his hair was as dry as straw, and his stomach was slightly bulging, probably because he had eaten indigestible Guanyin soil.

Tan Yuan felt a little sad watching this. In her previous life...in her previous life, she had also experienced this natural disaster. She had also followed the people from the Huaiyin Brigade to the mountains to dig Guanyin soil and eat tree bark. When she was really hungry, she even wanted to eat cockroaches.

But without food, even cockroaches, which are usually hated by people, would not come to Huaiyin Brigade.

The feeling of hunger is always engraved in people's bones, and it can be recalled with just a little recollection. She often suspected that the stomach cancer she got in her previous life was related to this experience.

She didn't want to experience that feeling again, so she took the people from Huaiyin Brigade to set up a factory to earn money to buy food. But even so, Huaiyin Brigade avoided the tragedy of the previous life, but others did not and could not avoid it.

Feeling sympathetic, Tan Yuan looked at the tied-up people with a softer expression.

"Which team are you from?"

Tan Yuan felt that her attitude was good enough. The person opposite covered his face with a rag, turned his face away and refused to talk to Tan Yuan.

Comparing themselves with these hungry people, the militia members knew that they and their families almost became one of them.

It is because of Manager Tan and Captain Tan that they can have enough food to eat.
