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

Alarm bells rang in her head. Tan Yuan moved behind Lin Guoan and saw the captain with a stern face, shaking his head slightly.

The ominous premonition became reality, and Tan Yuan didn't know what to think now.

Words come faster than her brain. She was so overwhelmed by the bad news that she didn't even have time to think, and what she wanted to say came out of her mouth.

"Director, why can't our Huaiyin Brigade run this dried tofu factory? Please give me a reason."

As soon as he said this, Secretary Li demonstrated to Tan Yuan what a real pupil earthquake was. Realizing his loss of composure, he quickly adjusted his facial expression, coughed lightly, and kept winking at Tan Yuan.

Although the leader is approachable and usually doesn't make things difficult for others, it's not something she can question like this.

Tan Yuan didn't even look at him. Perhaps she saw him but didn't want to pay attention to him. She just wanted to know why and get an answer.

"I don't know if you know the current situation of the Huaiyin Brigade, but I feel it is necessary for me to report to you."

The educated youth members of Huaiyin Brigade lived a hard life. They used to be able to eat, but this year locusts came, and after paying the public grain tax, it was difficult to get enough to eat.

This member of the cooperative fell ill and was afraid to take western medicine, so he could only go to the clinic to buy some cheap herbs, some of which were not even enough for the clinic.

The commune has its own difficulties, which we can understand, but we are now trying to save ourselves, so why can't the commune support us?

Tan Yuan blurted out so many words, and Lin Guoan gave Tan Yuan a thumbs up in his heart. He had said these words once, but hearing Tan Yuan say them again, he just felt happy in his heart.

"Little girl, are you saying that I, as the director of the commune, am ignorant of the sufferings of the world?"

"No, I didn't say that. I know our cadres are all good cadres. I just think the secretary may be too busy and doesn't know enough about our Huaiyin Brigade, so..."

"So you think I don't understand your Huaiyin Brigade? I'm telling you, I do understand it very well!"

He not only knows Huaiyin Brigade, he also knows other brigades in the commune very well!

Huaiyin Brigade is relatively good. Their commune has a bad geographical location, and people from two brigades even live in the deep mountains. Not to mention the inconvenience of seeing a doctor, people there have to run for several days to get out of the mountains. Every time we send someone over to check on them, it takes half a month to go back and forth.

At least there is a clinic in Huaiyin Brigade. If you get sick there, you can only rely on the experience passed down from generation to generation. If the experience cannot cure the disease, you can only leave it to fate.

There is no locust plague there because there is not much land to grow crops. The staple food is sweet potatoes and corn. People rely on hunting in the mountains to make a living. Every year, some people go into the mountains and never come back.

"Compared to them, are the conditions in your Huaiyin Brigade really that harsh?!"

Because they live deep in the mountains, they often encounter things like landslides, so their commune has been trying to persuade the people there to live outside the mountains.

But this wasn't so easy. Where would they live after they were released? Even if they were given land, what about housing? There were so many other issues, and how could they afford to give money to the Huaiyin Brigade?

The commune’s surplus money is reserved for relatively well-developed brigades, such as Shuiwazi, which can at least bring income to the commune.

This was the first time that Tan Yuan heard of these situations. She remained silent. She had always thought that Huaiyin Brigade was poor enough, but she didn't expect that there were even poorer brigades.

But she still didn't want to give up. After thinking about it, she organized her words in her mind, and finally her speech was not as impulsive as before.

"Director, you're right. The commune's money should be used effectively. But I still don't want to give up. If the commune won't give us money, then our brigade will run the dried tofu factory ourselves. We just need the commune to help us with the paperwork. Is that okay?"

There are ways to deal with poverty. When the time comes, everyone should save money and pool their wisdom. Except for the places where it is absolutely necessary, other places should be used for free. There is always a way. How can you know that you can't do it if you don't try?

Director Qian didn't expect the little girl in front of him to not give up. Their brigade should handle it themselves? What should they do? What should they do?

He set his sights on Lin Guoan, who had remained silent but was silently supporting Tan Yuan behind the scenes. This silly brother-in-law was actually secretly giving her a thumbs up. Don't think he didn't see it!

He was angry and wanted to say something to Lin Guoan, but he was worried about Secretary Li and Tan Yuan being there, so he swallowed his words back.

He only asked: "You are the captain, what do you think?"

Lin Guoan chose to stand on Tan Yuan's side without any hesitation.

"Tan Yuan, the educated youth, is now the youth leader of our brigade. What she says represents the opinion of our brigade."

Youth team leader *Tan Yuan: “….”

Secretary Qian: “…”

Secretary Li: “…”

"What are you looking at me for? Keep talking!"

Lin Guoan was completely oblivious to what he was saying. Was there anything wrong with what he said? Not at all! He looked at Tan Yuan with encouragement, signaling her to continue. If she could talk, she should talk more. What was the point of just looking at him?

Oh my god, he was promoted to a youth team leader in less than a month after going to the countryside. The key is that he was promoted without any right to know about it, and it was just given to him directly?

Do you have to be so like a makeshift team...

Tan Yuan felt that she had never been so shocked since she saw Zhao Yang marrying Liang Jin in her previous life...

Secretary Qian wanted his palm to have an intimate touch with Lin Guoan's face.

"Nonsense!"

Is this Huaiyin Brigade under the sole authority of Lin Guoan? The position of youth captain is no small matter; it's a legitimate official position, unlike smaller positions like scorekeeper, where anyone can be appointed at will.

Lin Guoan was not afraid of his brother-in-law's anger at all. As long as Tan Yuan could lead their team to run the factory well, he would not have a single complaint even if his position as team leader was vacated for Tan Yuan, let alone a young team leader.

Tan Yuan finally understood the meaning of "forcing a duck to climb a tree". She couldn't take the lead in refuting the captain at this time.

"Secretary, team leader, I know I'm still young and haven't done anything practical in the team. Being a young team leader will definitely arouse everyone's doubts, but I am confident that I can run our team's dried tofu factory well and lead our team members to live a good life."

Secretary Qian: ...

When had he ever said that the position of youth leader belonged to this female educated youth? How could she have claimed it with just a few words?
