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

Spring goes and autumn comes, time passes day by day, and the days go by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it's already 1983!

In the blink of an eye, San Niu has grown from five years old to eleven years old. In these past few years, San Niu's family is no longer the family that couldn't get enough to eat or wear. Now their family is a millionaire with assets of over one million!

San Niu has not only made a lot of money over the years, but has also done a lot of good deeds!

Over the years, San Niu has donated money to nearby schools to help children from nearby villages who cannot afford to go to school attend, and she has also helped build new classrooms for the schools!

San Niu's family not only donated money to the school, but also repaired roads in the village. Now all the roads in the village are paved with cement, and they are clean and beautiful!

San Niu has had a very good relationship with Manager Wang and his team over the past few years. They often come to San Niu's house to play, and in the last two years, they have even brought their children to play during winter and summer vacations!

Today, Manager Wang and his group are coming, so San Niu and the others started killing chickens and sheep early in the morning to prepare food!

San Niu is preparing barbecue ingredients at home! Every time Manager Wang comes, he specifically asks for barbecue, so San Niu started preparing early this morning. There are beef skewers, lamb skewers, chicken skewers, pork belly skewers, and a lot of mushroom skewers. San Niu also prepared a lot of vegetarian skewers, all of which are everyone's favorites!

San Niu also cooked a big pot of braised pork offal, including pig's trotters and pig's ears—all delicious dishes. San Niu especially loves pig's trotters; every time she makes them, she can eat two!

Just as San Niu finished simmering the fire, Manager Wang and the others arrived!

San Niu quickly came out to greet them, but as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, they had already entered!

"Sister San Niu, did you prepare any barbecue today?" asked Wang Jie, Manager Wang's son.

"Yes! I've prepared a lot, all your favorite foods. I've even set up the fire. Now that you're here, we can start grilling right away," San Niu said!

"San Niu, you don't know, these kids all want to study barbecue, they've all been studying the same thing," Manager Wang said!

"Everyone, hurry inside and clear your way. You all go inside for tea, I'm going to grill some meat," San Niu said!

"Go ahead and get busy! Don't worry about us, it's not like we've been here for the first time," Manager Wang said.

A group of children went to a barbecue with San Niu, while Manager Wang and the others went to the living room to have tea!

Soon, the aroma of the grilled meat from San Niu filled the yard. To make grilling easier, San Niu had specially built a shed in the yard and a large grill inside the shed. The grill was over a meter long and could grill many skewers at once!

Soon, the barbecue was cooked. San Niu took it down and put it on a tray. "Take it inside and eat! Be careful not to burn yourself, San Niu said!"

San Niu quickly took the raw meat skewers and put them on the grill. Soon the second batch was ready, and San Niu took the cooked ones and put them on the grilling plate!

The eldest and second eldest sisters came over. The eldest sister said, "Third sister, the second eldest sister and I will grill the rest! You take the grilled ones on the tray to them!"

"Okay, then be careful not to get burned," San Niu said!

San Niu brought the roasted meat into the living room and said, "Everyone, uncles and aunts, please have some roasted meat too!"

"Okay, everyone come and eat! Oh dear, I was so envious watching the kids eat!" said Manager Liu.

Soon they were all eating the skewers one by one. San Niu said, "You guys eat the grilled meat first, I'll go check if the braised pig's trotters are ready!"

San Niu quickly brought over the braised pig's trotters in a large basin. San Niu said, "I put them in the pot to braise early this morning, and they're ready to eat now. You should all try some!"

"Oh my, it smells delicious! I have to eat one first!" said the manager of the Pige factory, picking one up and starting to eat!

The others didn't stand on ceremony either, and they all grabbed pig's trotters from the basin and started eating. Don't be fooled by the fact that they are all big leaders who usually act like leaders in public. But when it comes to grabbing food at San Niu's house, they don't have any of that leader demeanor at all. Everyone grabs a big pig's trotter and starts gnawing on it!

San Niu also took one and started eating. After eating one, San Niu stopped eating and went out to fetch the other people there. She brought them a basin of hot water to wash themselves.

Soon, the group finished eating the pig's trotters. San Niu said, "There's hot water in the basin, everyone, please wash your hands!"

They went to wash their hands, and San Niu went to the shed and brought over the grilled meat skewers!

Soon everyone finished washing their hands and sat in the living room chatting and eating barbecue skewers!

"Sigh, San Niu, we might have to merge. The documents from above have come down, and many factories are going to be restructured and merged. They also require us to cooperate with foreigners and earn foreign exchange, the textile factory manager said!"

San Niu was very surprised to hear this. If their factories were to merge, her business would be greatly affected!

"Uncle, after your factory merges, will it be another factory that merges into your factory, or will your factory merge into another factory?" San Niu asked worriedly!

"It's not decided yet, but I've heard that not only our factory, but also many small factories in counties and provincial capitals are going to be merged. It's said that the decision was made by the higher-ups in a meeting," said the textile factory manager.

"I've also heard rumors that textile factories, steel mills, and quite a few other factories are all going to be merged," Manager Wang said.

"The factories have all been merged, what will happen to all those employees?" San Niu asked.

"I don't know yet, it depends on the leader's instructions," said the manager of Pige Factory.

"Then I need to call a meeting with the village leaders right away. We can't raise chickens and pigs anymore. I need to help the villagers get rid of all their livestock as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome," San Niu said!

"San Niu, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I think it will take at least a month or two. It won't be that fast," Manager Wang said.

"Okay, I understand. I'll hold a meeting with them tonight and tell them to stop buying piglets and chicks. They should sell the ones they're currently raising and stop raising them altogether. We'll see how things go from here on out," San Niu said.

"Yes, your idea is right. It's good to make plans early, otherwise it will be too late when the time comes," Manager Wang said.

"Yes, when our factories are all merged, your business will be greatly affected. We don't know what instructions the higher-ups will give, so it would be better if you took a break," Manager Liu said.

"Alright, stop worrying. It's no use worrying, and it's not something we can decide," Manager Wu said.

"I'll go check if the food is ready!" San Niu said.

San Niu sighed and went to the kitchen. When she saw that the food was ready, she and Zhang Laosan brought the food to the table.

"Everyone, let's eat first!" San Niu said.

"Oh dear, forget about it, let's eat first," said the manager of the Pige factory.

All the adults are sitting at one table, and all the children are sitting at another table. Today, we're sitting at two separate tables!

The eldest and second eldest daughters sat at the children's table, eating with the children, while the youngest daughter sat at the adults' table, keeping Manager Wang and his group company, pouring them drinks and chatting!

We ate roasted meat and pig's trotters today, so we're not very hungry anymore. We each had a bowl of mutton soup and that's it!

After they finished eating, they sat for a while and then went back. San Niu saw them off to their car!

After Manager Wang and the others left, San Niu quickly went with Zhang Lao San to find the village chief!

"Guihao, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Laosan asked.

"Dad, the manager of the textile factory said today that the higher-ups have decided to merge many factories. Once their factory is merged, our business will be greatly affected. We need to make plans in advance," San Niu said.

"Oh dear, why are they merging? So many businesses are merging, won't our business be ruined?" Zhang Laosan said anxiously!

"Well, so I'm thinking of having a meeting with the village leaders later to tell all the farmers to stop buying piglets and chicks to raise, and to get rid of the batches they've already raised. Our family business will have to stop for now, and even if we don't stop, there won't be much business left," San Niu said.

San Niu and Zhang Laosan quickly arrived at the village chief's house!
