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

The next morning, San Niu and Liu Hao woke up. Liu Hao quickly went back to his room, got dressed, brushed his teeth, washed up, ate breakfast, and then took his men and three cars to the train station to pick up goods!

Wang Cuihua came to San Niu's room and said, "Daughter, get up and eat quickly. Your father and the others have already gone to the train station to pick up goods!"

"Okay, Mother, have you eaten?" San Niu said!

Wang Cuihua sat on the stool and said, "Not yet! I just took more so I could eat with you!"

San Niu placed a steamed bun in Wang Cuihua's hand and said, "Oh, Mother, you can have a steamed bun!"

Wang Cuihua said, "Daughter, you eat too. I'll go to the store later to buy beef and the lamb your father ordered. I'll bring them all back together!"

"Mom, there's too much stuff. You can't carry it all by yourself. Why don't you ask Auntie to come with you? Or you could buy a women's bicycle. That way, it'll be easier for you to go grocery shopping," San Niu said.

“Buying a bicycle would cost one or two hundred yuan, and I don’t have that much money,” Wang Cuihua said.

San Niu got up, took out a few hundred yuan from her bag, and gave it to Wang Cuihua. "I have some, here you go. I'll ask Dad to get more money to keep at home that day, so you can use it to buy groceries," San Niu said.

"Oh, okay, then I'll just buy a bicycle, so your aunt won't have to go," Wang Cuihua said happily!

"Okay, make plenty of food for lunch, and also stew a pot of mutton soup so that those who do the work can eat at our house," San Niu instructed.

"Okay, I got it. Eat two more eggs. Your dad told me this morning to boil some tea eggs because he said you like them," Wang Cuihua said.

While eating an egg, San Niu said, "Okay, you eat too. How are your older sisters doing at school? Are they keeping up with their studies?"

"I don't know, I've been busy and haven't had time to ask. But they both do their homework as soon as they get home from school, they're quite hardworking," Wang Cuihua said!

“That’s good. Sigh, we have so much to do at home. How about we hire someone to cook for us? That way you’ll have an easier time,” San Niu said.

"No need! I can cook every day, and besides, your aunt helps out, right?" Wang Cuihua said.

"Mom, Auntie will be selling fruit from now on and won't have time to help you with chores. Also, in a few days, we'll start making clothes, and everyone will be busy, including Dad, so no one will be able to help you with housework," San Niu said.

“It wouldn’t be good for me to bring them here, so I’ll have to find someone else!” Wang Cuihua said.

“How could it not work? We paid them to do the work. What’s the point of having them if they don’t work? How about you cook, do laundry, and clean? I’ll give you two hundred yuan a month. In a few days, we’ll get a washing machine. Then we won’t have to wash clothes by hand anymore, which will save us a lot of effort. Is that okay?” San Niu said.

"Your father and I will discuss it further," Wang Cuihua said.

"Alright, you guys discuss it! Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold," San Niu said!

After Wang Cuihua and the other two girls finished eating, they quickly left with their bowls!

Sigh, San Niu sighed. There was nothing she could do about Wang Cuihua. She had so much work to do but couldn't finish it all, and she was reluctant to spend money on hiring someone. She was so stingy with money, and she felt bad about spending even a little. It was really incomprehensible!

San Niu ignored everything, lay down on the bed, and started reading a book!

"Daughter, drink your medicine. I'm going to the store to buy something," Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay, be careful," San Niu said, holding the bowl.

"Okay, I'm leaving," Wang Cuihua said, and then went out.

After San Niu finished her medicine, she ate a piece of candy and continued reading!

Around nine o'clock, Zhang Laosan brought in some fruit. Sanniu said, "Dad, you're back. Are you done pooping?"

"Not yet, we have to go again. Liu Hao is watching over things there! I'll get you some fruit," Zhang Laosan said.

“Okay, Dad, sit down and rest for a bit. Have some fruit too. The fruit from Hainan is so fragrant and delicious. Try it!” San Niu said.

"Okay, you have one too. Zhang Laosan gives one to Sanniu, and you take one and start eating!"

"Dad, when you put the goods in the storage room, remember to lock the door. Don't let anyone go in and take anything. This isn't just our family's business, so don't make things look bad later. San Niu is reminding you!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll lock all the doors in a bit," Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, once we're done, leave a box of each for them to eat. Don't touch the rest," San Niu said.

"Dad, I'll be helping out at home from now on. There's a lot of work to do, like cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning. I want to find someone to do all that, but Mom doesn't agree. You should talk to her about it," San Niu said.

"Oh, your mother's just worried about the money. It's alright, I'll talk to her more often," Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, Dad, isn't this fruit delicious?" San Niu said!

"Mmm, delicious, especially delicious," Zhang Laosan replied while eating!

"Dad, if you like it, eat more. I'll buy some and keep it at home. Eat more every day," San Niu said!

“Okay, I’ll keep two more boxes for my family to eat,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, tell me how many boxes you're moving so I can keep track," San Niu said.

"Okay, then write down eight boxes. I'm going to move the goods." Zhang Laosan finished speaking and left!

After San Niu finished making the accounts, she started eating longan. After eating some, she washed her hands and stopped eating!

After a while, Wang Cuihua returned. "Daughter, you can have grilled skewers again tonight! I'm busy cooking, I can't manage it all," Wang Cuihua said.

"It's delicious, Mom! You go ahead and cook! Let Auntie help you cook," San Niu said.

"Your aunt is already here, she's chopping mutton!" Wang Cuihua said.

"That's good. Take some of the fruit on the table and have it with your aunt," San Niu said.

"It's delicious! I'll take a few." Wang Cuihua took the fruit and went out!

They arrived around 11:00 AM, and Liu Hao and his team brought all the goods back!

"Brother Hao, you're back! Please sit down and rest," San Niu said.

"Okay, all the goods have been delivered. We won't unload the truck anymore. After we finish eating, we'll go deliver the goods." Liu Hao poured himself a cup of tea and sat down to drink it.

“Okay, then take the bigger bag from my cabinet and put the money in it. Oh, and for each factory, record how much goods they delivered and how much money they received. Here’s a notebook and a pen; make sure you write it down,” San Niu said.

"Okay, put it in my bag," Liu Hao said.

"Oh, right, here's three hundred and fifty yuan. It's your reward for today's work. Fifty yuan each. Give it to them when we eat later," San Niu said.

"Okay, I got it! Ugh, loading cargo today was exhausting," Liu Hao said as he collapsed onto the bed.

"How about I give you a massage?" San Niu said.

"I just need to lie down for a bit tonight," Liu Hao said.

“Okay, you should also send some home, some fruit and dried shrimp,” San Niu said.

"Wait, tomorrow, go to our family building. I'll just take some home. There aren't many people in my family, and they don't eat much. I'll take a few pounds of each kind, enough for them to eat for a long time. I mainly want him to help me find some people to help us sell more goods," Liu Hao said.

“Alright, as long as you know what I mean,” San Niu said.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the foreign exchange shop, and then to my place in the afternoon. That way, I can sell all the goods in one day," Liu Hao said.

"Great! Wow, it's selling so fast! Fifty thousand catties of goods sold out in just two days! At this rate, we'll be rich in a month, let alone once a year!" San Niu said happily.

"Yes, that's right. I've got the money, let me buy you a car!" Liu Hao said.

"You don't need to buy it, I'll buy it myself," San Niu said!

"Okay, honey, you have plenty of money, buy it yourself," Liu Hao said with a smile!

“It’s not that I don’t want you to drive it, it’s that you bought it. My dad wants to drive it, but he’s embarrassed. I told him a few days ago that I would buy him a little car, and he was overjoyed. But since you bought it, he’s definitely not happy,” San Niu said.

"Oh, so that's how people are! Then I can't compete with you for it, you have to buy it. Just don't offend him, he's my future father-in-law, if I offend him, what will happen?" Liu Hao said!

"Haha, hahaha!" San Niu laughed loudly, "Brother Hao, you're so funny!"

“What I said isn’t true, you little rascal, how dare you laugh at me!” Liu Hao said!

Zhang Laosan brought in the food and said, "After you finish eating, Liu Hao, go and eat quickly. You must be hungry after a busy morning!"

"Okay, Uncle, I'll go right now. Liu Hao, sit up and get out of here quickly!"

"Daughter, come and eat!" said Zhang Laosan.

"Okay, Dad, put it down and go eat! After you eat, you still have to go deliver goods!"

"Alright, shall we send your eldest uncle and the others?" Zhang Laosan said.

“Go ahead! It’s a deal, you’ll get fifty yuan after you finish. Now that you’re all gone, it’ll be easier for you,” San Niu said.

"Okay, I got it! I'm going to eat," Zhang Laosan said and left.

San Niu sat down and started eating. She ate the stewed mutton first. Zhang Laosan served her a large bowl of mutton, mostly lamb ribs, which San Niu especially liked. She ate just one bowl of mutton and drank some mutton soup, and she was full. She didn't eat any of the other dishes or rice. After she was full, she washed her hands and walked around the room.

After a while, Wang Cuihua came in, looked at the leftover food on the table, and said, "Girl, why is there so much food left? Nobody ate it!"

"Mom, I ate a big bowl of mutton and I'm full. I haven't touched the rest. You can put it away!" San Niu said.

"Oh, it's good that you're full. Your dad said you like lamb chops, so he served you a big bowl," Wang Cuihua said.

"My dad loves me! Have they finished eating?" San Niu asked.

"It'll be ready soon, they're having mutton soup! Your dad even specially served Liu Hao a big bowl of meat," Wang Cuihua said!

"Oh, I know! Mother, you should be nicer to Brother Hao from now on," San Niu said!

"I know! Your dad told me everything. Daughter, you're really amazing to have found such a good son-in-law!" Wang Cuihua said happily.

"Right! I think I'm awesome too," San Niu said with a smile!

“Daughter, how about I cook at home? Your dad is worried that you won’t like the food if someone else cooks, and he’s also worried that he won’t be able to take good care of you,” Wang Cuihua said.

“Okay! Mother, thank you for your trouble. When I’m feeling better, I’ll buy you a pair of gold earrings, a big gold bracelet, and a gold ring. I’ll buy you everything at once!” San Niu said.

"Good, good, my daughter is the best!" Wang Cuihua said happily!

“Yes, you should do a good job. Keep an eye on the family's clothing business when you have free time. Take care of our own business,” San Niu said.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go get the medicine. Take your medicine and get some sleep," Wang Cuihua said.

"Alright," San Niu said!

A few minutes later, Wang Cuihua brought the medicine over and gave it to Sanniu to drink. After drinking the medicine, Sanniu fell asleep!

Wang Cuihua happily carried the bowl to the kitchen, soaked the shark fin soup for San Niu, and took two mangoes, saying, "Sister-in-law, come sit down and rest, have a mango."

"Okay, coming!" Auntie said.

My aunt sat down, started eating mangoes, and said, "Little sister, why are you so happy today?"

"Let me tell you, San Niu said she wants me to stay home and cook and clean. When she gets better, she'll take me to buy her everything—gold rings, gold bracelets, gold earrings. She's even worried I'll get tired from washing clothes, so she said she'll get a washing machine in a few days so I won't have to wash clothes by hand anymore," Wang Cuihua said happily!
