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

Chapter 60 Recovering from Illness at Home

The next day, when San Niu woke up in the morning, Liu Hao was no longer in bed. San Niu had no idea when Liu Hao got up and went out!

San Niu slept exceptionally well that night, sleeping soundly until dawn without waking up even once!

San Niu gets up, goes to the toilet, and then brushes her teeth and washes her face!

After a while, Zhang Laosan came in. Seeing that Sanniu had come up, he said, "Daughter, you're up. I specially cooked your favorite bean curd, and also steamed pork buns and tea eggs. I'll go get them for you!"

"Okay, I love drinking soy sauce the most!" San Niu said happily!

"If you like it, drink as much as you like. I'll use a big bowl for you to serve," Zhang Laosan said before leaving.

After a while, Zhang Laosan came in carrying the food. "Girl, eat quickly. The soy milk has sugar in it. I'll give you some. I'll peel an egg for you!" Zhang Laosan said.

"Dad still loves me the most," San Niu said, taking a couple of sips of soy milk, then picking up a steamed bun and starting to eat!

"Dad, school starts today. After you've eaten, take my older sister, cousin, and Zhang Cheng to school together," San Niu said.

“Okay, I’ll call in a bit and have your uncle drive everyone over,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Yes, Dad, when you go, take five hundred yuan to the restaurant and find Manager Guo. Just say it's about school, and he'll know. I'll give it to him before the New Year. Just give him the money directly, and don't worry about anything else. He'll take care of it," San Niu said.

"Okay, honey, you eat these two eggs too. I'm going to make a phone call now!" Zhang Laosan said.

“Alright, you go! If not, let your eldest uncle go too,” San Niu said.

“Alright, I’ll find Manager Guo and give him the money. As for the rest, have Da Yong take some men. I’ll go buy some pig’s trotters and cook them for you,” Zhang Laosan said.

“Okay, Dad, you can go ahead and do your work!” San Niu said.

After a while, Liu Hao came over. "Brother Hao, are you eating?" San Niu asked!

Liu Hao quickly cleared the dishes and asked, "Honey, I've eaten. Are you full?"

"I'm full," San Niu said.

Liu Hao said, "Honey, I have to go to the factory today. I'll be back as soon as I'm done!"

“Okay, don’t forget to buy that cheap silk thread for weaving,” San Niu said.

"I know! I've already called the silk thread factory over there. They'll ship the goods today, and they'll arrive in a couple of days. We'll weave the cloth for you then," Liu Hao said.

"That's great! Have them design several more colors," San Niu said!

"Okay, I got it. I'm off then," Liu Hao said.

"Go! Work hard and make money!" San Niu said.

"You little rascal, I know!" Liu Hao said with a smile as he went out.

After a while, Wang Cuihua came in with the medicine and said, "Girl, get up. Drink your medicine, and I'll get you some candy!"

"Okay! San Niu drank it all in one go. Oh my god, it's so bitter!" San Niu exclaimed.

“Once you eat the sugar, the bitterness will disappear. Good medicine tastes bitter,” Wang Cuihua said.

“Daughter, your grandma and her family wanted to come see you, but I didn’t let them. I was afraid it would disturb your rest,” Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay, tell them not to come. I'm afraid of noise. Have your aunt and uncle come and help you with chores and cooking. Tell the others that I need to rest," San Niu said.

“Alright! I’ll listen to you. Your dad bought a big bag of pig trotters and pig ears, and they’re roasting them over the fire right now! I’ll cook them for you in a bit,” Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay, I love pig's trotters and pig's ears the most! Mom, when they're done cooking, save some for Brother Hao," San Niu said!

"Okay! Go get some sleep!" Wang Cuihua covered San Niu with the blanket, then took the bowl and went out.

San Niu went to sleep. When she woke up, she got up, went to the toilet, and then sat on the bed to read a book!

After a while, Zhang Laosan came in carrying a basin. "Girl, you're awake. The pig's trotters and pig's ears are all cooked. Come down and eat them while they're hot," Zhang Laosan said.

San Niu quickly got up, sat on a small stool, and said, "Oh, it smells so good! I haven't had this in so long!"

San Niu hugged the pig's trotter and started eating. As she ate, she said, "Dad, it's so delicious! You should eat some too!"

“If you like it, eat more. I cooked a big pot! It’s cold now, so it can be stored for a while. It’s enough for you to eat for several meals,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Dad, you all eat this. Don't leave it for too long. If it's left for too long, you'll have to cook it every time you eat it. If you cook it too many times, it won't taste good. San Niu, take a pig's trotter and put it in Zhang Lao San's hand!"

“That’s right! Sigh, I didn’t even think of that. Fine, I won’t cook it now. If you want to eat it, we’ll cook some more,” Zhang Laosan said.

“Yes, Dad, we have plenty of money now. We don’t need to be frugal. We can buy whatever we want to eat or wear. Besides, your daughter is so good at making money, how could we possibly be short of cash?” San Niu said.

"Yes, my daughter, she's the best at making money, how could she not have money to spend? Dad will eat with you," Zhang Laosan said happily!

“That’s right, Dad. As long as you don’t gamble or do anything bad, you can spend our family’s money however you want. I won’t interfere,” San Niu said.

“No way! I’ll eat well and dress well, but you’re letting your father take our money and squander it. I can’t bear to see you do that. My daughter, you work so hard to earn this money, I won’t let you waste it!” Zhang Laosan said, looking at San Niu.

“Yes, my dad is so smart! I was wondering why I’m so clever. It turns out I take after you, Dad!” San Niu said.

Hahaha, Zhang Laosan is so happy because of Sanniu!

Wang Cuihua pushed the door open and came in, saying, "What are you all laughing about in the room! You seem so happy!"

"Mom, I said I'm just like Dad, smart," San Niu said, eating a pig's ear!

"Yes, she's my daughter. She's just like me, the smartest!" Zhang Laosan said happily.

Wang Cuihua said, "Yes, if you say so, then it is!"

"Hey, you woman, what do you mean? Do you think my daughter isn't smart, or that I'm not smart at all?" Zhang Laosan said angrily!

Seeing that Zhang Laosan was angry, Wang Cuihua quickly said, "I didn't mean anything. I meant that you're right, you and your daughter are both smart. Without a smart father like you, your daughter wouldn't be so smart, right?"

“That’s more like it, daughter. Have another pig’s trotter. Tomorrow I’ll buy some beef and cook it for you to nourish yourself,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, Dad, then give me some more grilled beef skewers," San Niu said!

“Okay, I’ll roast some more for you. I also ordered a whole lamb. I’ll bring them all back tomorrow and cook them for you. Let’s have a good meal together,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, make more so we can eat together," San Niu said!

“Alright, let’s eat together. She’s still my daughter, so filial,” Zhang Laosan said.

“That’s right, Mother. You have to take care of me now, and you can’t help with everything. Let Auntie come and help you with the chores so you don’t get tired,” San Niu said!

"Oh, okay, my dear, I'll call her in a bit and have her come over to help me cook," Wang Cuihua said happily!

"See? Our daughter is still the best! She dotes on you so much!" Zhang Laosan said.

"Yes, yes, our daughter is good and knows how to make money," Wang Cuihua said!

"You know how to talk. Here's a pig's trotter for you. Our daughter said we should all eat it. Don't put anything in it, or it won't taste good. Eat it quickly," Zhang Laosan said.

Wang Cuihua was truly speechless at Zhang Laosan's antics. He kept talking about his daughter, his daughter, and even if his daughter farted, he would say it smelled good!

Wang Cuihua only dared to mutter to herself; she dared not say aloud for fear of offending Zhang Laosan!

"Daughter, what would you like to eat for lunch? I'll have your mother make something special for you," Zhang Laosan said.

"Mom, I want millet porridge and shrimp for lunch," San Niu said without hesitation!

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll make it right away. You just ate pig's trotters, eat dinner later," Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay," San Niu said.

"Girl, are you still going to eat? If not, I'll get some hot water for you to wash your hands," Zhang Laosan said.

"Dad, I'm not eating anymore," San Niu said!

"Alright, wait a moment, I'll go get some hot water for you to wash your hands," Zhang Laosan said before leaving.

After a while, Zhang Laosan brought over a basin of half-filled hot water. "Girl, hurry up and wash. The water is just right, not too hot or too cold. There's also soap here. Wash your hands several times. Once they're clean, here's a towel to dry them. Go lie down on the bed quickly," Zhang Laosan said.

"Alright, Dad, San Niu will go to bed after wiping her hands!"

"Daughter, you rest for a while, we're going to cook," Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay, Mother, Brother Hao will be back for lunch, so please cook more," San Niu said!

"Oh, okay, I understand!" After saying that, Wang Cuihua picked up the basin and went out with Zhang Laosan.

After a while, Wang Jun and Huang Xuan came over with a lot of things!

"San Niu, can we come in?" Wang Jun asked.

"Come in quickly, Brother Wang Jun, Brother Huang Xuan, please have a seat. Oh my, how come you bought so much stuff! You're too kind of us!" San Niu said.

"You're not feeling well, can't we at least buy you something to eat?" Huang Xuan said!

"Yes, thank you!" San Niu said.

“That’s more like it, San Niu. These boxes are shark fin soup and these boxes are goose nest soup. They’re specially made to nourish your body. You must eat them,” Wang Jun said.

"Okay, I'll definitely finish it all. By the way, how are things at your family's place?" San Niu asked.

"That's all good. We've already told our families. The goods will arrive in a couple of days, and then we can haul them to the factory," Huang Xuan said.

"Oh, that's great! Now we can make a good fortune!" San Niu said.

"Yes, we need to hurry. We need to call Hainan and order another batch of goods, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with demand," Huang Xuan said.

"Okay, when Brother Hao comes back, let him beat me up," San Niu said!

"Oh, right, we've come up with a plan to get washing machine parts. This afternoon, you and Brother Hao can go to the factory to discuss it. Brother Hao will explain it to you in detail then," San Niu said.

"Really? That's fantastic news! Wow, we'll be able to start producing washing machines soon! That's wonderful!" Wang Jun exclaimed happily.

"Yes, but when the time comes, have you figured out how to recruit people to do the work?" San Niu asked!

"No, just find someone to come and do the work, isn't that enough?" Wang Jun said!

“No, you’re thinking too simply. If we can make the washing machine, we’ll be unique in China. Just imagine how many people will want to pay us for the secret to making the washing machine,” San Niu said.

"Oh dear, what should we do!" Wang Jun said anxiously!

“So we need to find reliable people to do the work for us, otherwise we’ll just be busy doing nothing,” San Niu said!

"San Niu, do you have any good ideas?" Huang Xuan asked.

“Here’s what I’m thinking: I’m hiring people from my hometown to do the work. First, they’re all from the countryside and haven’t seen much of the world, so they’re easier to manage. Second, they’re more reliable than people from Beijing. What do you think?” San Niu said.

“I agree with your idea. I think your considerations are correct. Let’s do it your way,” Wang Jun said.
