Reborn in the 1970s, Zhang Sanniu's new life

The next day, before dawn, everyone got up. Wang Cuihua and her aunt were cooking in the kitchen!

Wang Dayong and Zhang Laosan packed up the four pigs and the four baskets of chickens that the people in the small villa wanted, and after finishing their meal, they drove off!

After finishing breakfast, Sanniu and the others dragged their things into the city!

When they arrived at the store, they weighed the four pigs, settled the bill, and then San Niu and the others delivered the chickens to the small villa!

They went from house to house, delivering the goods to each family and collecting payment from them!

They went back to the store, picked out the cloth, settled the bill, paid for the pork, and then sat at the store entrance waiting for their ride!

After waiting for half an hour, the car arrived. The group quickly loaded the goods and the car onto the vehicle, leaving one car in the warehouse.

After arriving home and unloading their things, Sanniu called out to the driver, "Uncle, it's noon. Let's have lunch before heading into town!"

"No need, I'll eat at home," the driver said.

"Master, it's alright, let's eat together! We don't know when we'll be done with this! Come on, let's go!" Zhang Laosan said, pulling Keji to the table to eat.

At noon, we made a big pot of pork offal soup and mixed flour pancakes, which we ate in one meal. After lunch, we loaded the 15 pigs, 15 baskets of chickens, half a bag of pork offal, and half a carcass of pork offal that the driver had bought. San Niu also packed it for him, along with a basket of pig's blood. Once everything was loaded, we got on the truck and headed to the yarn factory!

When they arrived at the yarn factory, the driver parked the car next to the factory gate. San Niu took half a bag of pig offal and went to the warehouse to find her older sister!

Upon arriving at the storeroom, San Niu said, "Big sister, this is pork offal, please take it back and eat it!"

"Thank you, have you brought the pork and chicken?" the lady said, setting out the pork offal.

"They're all here, right at the gate! I'll go wait at the gate, Big Sister," San Niu said, and started walking out.

The older sister locked the warehouse and went to the office building to notify the manager!

The eldest sister was very clever. After informing the leader, she went to the main gate to find San Niu and the others!

When she arrived at the destination, she bought all the meat and chicken, put them in the warehouse, and then went to the workshop to notify the workers!

By the time the workers arrived, the managers had already bought everything and left!

San Niu saw that dozens of people had arrived. She told Zhang Laosan to open one of the car doors, and San Niu and Zhang Laosan stood on the car. "Shout, don't rush, line up, one by one, we have everything! Everyone can buy something!" San Niu was very anxious!

The driver got out and told the workers to line up. Zhang Laosan cut the meat and weighed it, while Sanniu calculated the bills and collected the money. It took more than an hour to finish. In the end, all the meat was sold out, and there were still a few people who hadn't bought any. "Sanniu told them that they would come back tomorrow morning and not to worry, and then they went home!"

After they sold out, the driver took them to the Taoist temple!

To express her gratitude, San Niu gave him some more pork offal to take home!

After seeing the driver off, Sanniu went inside to settle the accounts. Once she had finished, she came out to find Wang Dayong. "Uncle, how many pigs are we going to slaughter?" Sanniu asked.

"About 30, is that enough?" Wang Dayong asked.

"That's enough! Tomorrow, keep killing, kill even more!" San Niu said.

It got dark, and we couldn't see anything anymore. Everyone who had been working left, packed up their things, and started cooking!

Soon, Wang Cuihua and the others finished cooking, and everyone gathered around to eat!

After San Niu finished eating, she said, "Uncle, tomorrow, can you buy a few pounds of meat? We'll make braised pork for lunch tomorrow!"

"Cut more, there are many people," Zhang Laosan said!

“Oh, okay, I’ll remember,” Wang Dayong said.

After dinner, everyone rushed to bed. They were all exhausted from working from morning till night!

The next day, it was another early start. Before dawn, Zhang Laosan went to the main intersection to greet people!

Today, the store manager arranged for a truck to come and pick up pork!

Wang Cuihua and Da Niu quickly started cooking, while Wang Dayong and the others quickly packed up the pigs, chickens, and three large baskets of offal. Today they needed to haul away 30 pigs and 10 baskets of chickens!

These include not only 20 pigs from the factory, but also 4 pigs from the store, and 6 more, all of which were purchased!

Soon, Zhang Laosan brought the car over!

After parking the car, everyone quickly started loading things, and it took them more than half an hour to finish!

After loading the things, Da Niu watched the car at the door while everyone else quickly ate their breakfast, including the driver. After breakfast, San Niu and the others got into the car and headed into the city!

Once in town, they first unloaded the four pigs they wanted from the store, weighed them, and then carried down three large baskets of pig offal to the store manager. San Niu also gave the driver some pig offal!

The rest were all taken to the factory. When they arrived, San Niu was shocked to see that it was even bigger than the yarn factory! She had no idea what kind of factory it was!

Soon the gatekeeper brought the leader over, who also brought workers and several trucks. The leader saw many baskets of chickens on the trucks and asked, "Can you sell us the chickens on the trucks too?"

"Okay, boss. By the way, we hauled a few extra pigs today. Do you want them?" Zhang Laosan said.

"Then let's remove them all!" the boss said readily.

I was planning to go to the yarn factory to buy a few more yarns, but they were all sold out in no time. Looks like I'll have to come back again this afternoon!

After all the goods were unloaded, San Niu and Zhang Laosan went to weigh them, calculate the bill, and after settling the payment, San Niu and the others were about to go back!

As soon as they stepped out of the factory, Sanniu stopped. "Dad, let's save today's money! We have enough money at home to buy pigs, and it's not safe to keep money at home," Sanniu said.

"Alright! Girl, how much money did you collect today?" Zhang Laosan asked.

San Niu said softly, "It's about nine thousand. I also brought the money from our family. Let's deposit fifteen thousand first. By the way, Dad, don't tell anyone that our family has earned so much money. If you do, our family will never have a peaceful life!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, not even your mother. If she finds out, she'll definitely tell your uncle and the others, and that would be bad. This is something only the two of us know, that's fine," Zhang Laosan said.

The two of them agreed and felt relieved. The main thing is that their families are so poor right now that they can't even afford to eat! If they knew that someone had ten or twenty thousand yuan, they would be constantly being asked for money, and thieves would be coming to their door. Do you think you could live a peaceful life then?

Zhang Laosan led Sanniu to deposit the money, and the two happily went home!

After arriving home and having lunch, we quickly set off again with four pigs and four baskets of chickens to the yarn factory!

When they arrived at the yarn factory, San Niu went to the workshop to find someone herself. Once there, everyone knew her, and those who wanted to buy meat didn't need to be called; they just came out quickly!

San Niu and her friends finished buying everything in just over half an hour!

After buying their things, San Niu and the others went to the store and bought a cartload of cloth. They then paid for the pork they had eaten that day and went home!

Sitting in the car, Sanniu thought for a moment and said, "Dad, what do you think? We'll deliver the pork from the store tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, we'll borrow a car and load up a truckload of pork and chicken to sell at other factories. I think we should sell them quickly for a couple of days, and then load up a truckload of cloth and some yarn to go to a more distant village to exchange for chickens. We'll work hard for a few days to earn more money before the New Year, and then we can rest well after the New Year when there's no business!"

"Alright! You've thought this through. We'll do whatever you say," Zhang Laosan said.

"By the way, Dad, I was thinking that since we've made some money this year, could we buy a small truck for hauling goods? That way, you won't have to work so hard pulling the truck to deliver goods. I think our business can last for another two years, and having a truck would be much more convenient!" San Niu said.

"Daughter! Let's go buy a car there! Aren't those cars only available to government employees?" Zhang Laosan said.

“We’ll deliver some pork offal to Grandpa Liu’s house tomorrow. I’ll ask him then, he’ll definitely know,” San Niu said.

"Alright, ask around first, then we'll talk, okay!" Zhang Laosan said.

When San Niu and the others got home, it was almost dark, and everyone who had been working on slaughtering pigs had gone home!

San Niu found Wang Dayong and asked, "Uncle, how many slaughtered pigs do you have at home now?"

"There are more than 20 of them, what's wrong?" Wang Dayong asked!

"Uncle, I'm planning to borrow a car the day after tomorrow, load everything up, and go to the factory in the city to sell them. Uncle, if you slaughter a lot of pigs tomorrow, and work hard for a few days, I'll give you an extra two hundred yuan as a reward," San Niu said.

“Okay! Kill 35 tomorrow, and that should fill the truck,” Wang Dayong said.

"Okay, as long as the truck is full, that's fine. Grandpa, how's the pig-buying going these past few days? Three questions!"

"Don't worry about buying the pigs. We don't need to go to buy them these next couple of days. They'll deliver them directly to our house. If they don't sell them before the New Year, it will be harder to sell them after the New Year," Wang Dayong said.

"That's good! I was worried we wouldn't have enough pigs!" San Niu said.

"It's alright, don't worry about things at home. You just focus on selling and delivering the goods!" Wang Dayong said, patting San Niu's head.

The next day, San Niu and her friends took four pigs and four baskets of pig offal and went into town!

Once we got to the city, we took the four pigs to the store first!

After delivering the pigs, Sanniu asked Wang Cuihua to stay behind. "Mother, you stay here and go to the warehouse to pick out some cloth. Goods just arrived today, so pick out as much as you can. We're going to haul two cartloads today," Sanniu said.

“Alright, you can go ahead! I’m going to the storeroom,” Wang Cuihua said.

San Niu and Zhang Lao San went to deliver pork offal to Grandpa Liu and Grandpa Wang!

When they arrived at Grandpa Liu's house, San Niu knocked on the door, and Teacher Liu quickly opened it. "San Niu, you're here! Come in quickly, it's Grandpa Liu's place!"

"Grandpa Liu, my dad and I have brought you some pork offal," San Niu said.

"That's wonderful! We just finished what we had last time. Thank you so much!" Old Liu said happily.

"If you want to eat, I'll bring you more. By the way, Grandpa Liu, I wanted to ask you, if our family wanted to buy a truck for hauling goods, could we afford it?" San Niu asked.

"It's not easy to handle. Let me ask around for you. Once I've found out, I'll go tell you," said Old Liu.

"Then I'll trouble you," Zhang Laosan said.

"It's nothing, just a small matter," Old Liu said.

After carrying two baskets of pig offal to Old Liu's house, San Niu said, "Grandpa Liu, let's go to Grandpa Wang's house!"

"I'll go with you! Old Liu locked the door and went to Old Wang's house with San Niu and the others!"

The three of them walked for a short while and arrived at Old Man Wang's house. Old Man Liu went up and knocked on the door!

The door opened, and Old Liu said, "Look, San Niu has brought you something nice!"

"Oh dear, San Niu, you're reliable!" Old Wang said happily.

"That's right, I always keep my promises," San Niu said proudly!

Zhang Laosan didn't say anything, just kept working, and soon carried the two baskets of pig offal to Wang Laotou's house!

San Niu said, "There are only a few days left before the New Year. After we finish helping out these few days, my dad and I will come and bring you two more things so you can have a good meal for a few days. If you don't eat now, you'll have to wait until next year!"

“Alright, then I’ll feel bad about eating for free! I’ll write you another note, and you can go and get some yarn again! That should be enough for you to sell,” said Old Wang.

"Oh, that's wonderful! Grandpa Wang really knows what I'm thinking. I don't even have to say anything!" San Niu said happily.

"You really are a clever girl," Old Liu said, pointing at San Niu with his finger.

Zhang Laosan and Sanniu happily took the slip of paper and headed to the store to get the cloth. When they arrived at the store, they settled the bill first, including the pork bill, and then loaded the two carts of cloth!

San Niu said to Zhang Laosan, "Dad, let Mom stay here and watch over things. We'll go to the factory and borrow a car so he can haul some goods for us first thing tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we'll go to other factories and sell our goods!"

“Okay, that saves us some money. We delivered the goods to the store this morning,” Zhang Laosan said.

San Niu and Zhang Laosan found the driver from last time. San Niu said, "Uncle, could you come to my house early tomorrow morning to help me haul goods? I'll give you a chicken to eat with you!"

"Okay, I'll go first thing tomorrow morning," the driver said happily!
