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

The next day, in the morning, San Niu and Liu Hao got up and washed up. Liu Hao brought breakfast to their room and ate with San Niu!

Liu Hao put the food on the table and said, "Baby, come and eat breakfast!"

San Niu got out of bed and said, "I'm here! What are we eating today?"

Liu Hao handed the chopsticks to San Niu and said, "Auntie, Uncle and I got up early this morning to make wontons and boil some tea eggs. Come sit down and eat!"

San Niu took the chopsticks and started eating. "San Niu ate one, wow, it's so delicious, it's beef filling!" San Niu exclaimed.

Liu Hao also started eating. "It's very delicious. If you like it, eat more. There's still a lot left to cook. Finish what's in your bowl and then ask your aunt to cook more," Liu Hao said.

“Okay, I want to eat another half bowl,” San Niu said!

"Okay, let's eat first, then we'll cook more," Liu Hao said.

"Daughter, Liu Hao, is it delicious? Zhang Laosan is bringing in a bowl!"

"Dad, the wontons you made today are especially delicious! I want to eat half a bowl more!" San Niu said happily.

"Uncle, I'd like another big bowl!" Liu Hao said.

"Okay, I'll go cook them for you," Zhang Laosan said happily, and went off to cook wontons!

"Brother Hao, how much fabric has your factory produced? Why don't you have my dad go and bring it back today? That way, I can start making clothes," San Niu said.

“Okay! I’ll call Hua Zi in a bit and tell him to get the goods ready,” Liu Hao said.

"Brother Hao, how about this? From now on, when I pick up goods from your factory, I won't pay you in advance. We'll have the factory settle the accounts and write down the receipts later. I'll pay you back once a month, and then I'll give you the money directly," San Niu said!

“Okay, that saves us trouble,” Liu Hao said.

“Okay, Brother Hao, go to the factory every few days and bring back the extra money to deposit. Just keep enough in the account to keep the factory running. After all, you won’t be managing the factory yourself anymore, so you still need to be careful,” San Niu said.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll go to the factory in a few days to check the accounts and then hold a meeting with them," Liu Hao said.

"That's perfect, Brother Hao. Have two more tea eggs." San Niu puts the peeled tea eggs into Liu Hao's hand!

Old Zhang brought in two bowls of wontons and said, "They're ready, eat up!"

“Okay, Dad, after dinner, you and Uncle can drive to the textile factory to pick up the fabric. Take two cars. You don’t need to pay the bill. Just check the goods, settle the bill, and have the accountant write you a note, that’s all,” San Niu said.

"Okay, I understand. I'll call your uncle after I finish eating. Tell Zhang Laosan!"

"Dad, have Aunt tell everyone that we'll start making clothes tomorrow, and have them all come over to get to work," San Niu said.

"Okay, you guys eat! I'll go make a call," Zhang Laosan said.

"Baby, eat up, have another egg, don't drink the soup, eat more wontons," Liu Hao said!

"I can't finish it, my dad served too much," San Niu said!

"It's alright, you left some, give it to me, eat it!" Liu Hao said!

San Niu started eating with her head down. She ate half a bowl, then pushed the rest in front of Liu Hao, who finished the rest!

"Wow, your food is so delicious! I think I've gained weight again!" Liu Hao exclaimed.

San Niu looked at Liu Hao and said, "No? You haven't gained weight!"

"How could I not have gained weight? I eat so much at every meal at your house. Your aunt and uncle's cooking is delicious, I especially love it!" Liu Hao said!

"It's good that you like to eat. Although you eat a lot, you work a lot every day and digest quickly, so you haven't gained weight," San Niu said!

"That's good, you haven't gained weight!" Liu Hao said.

"Brother Hao, don't worry about eating! You're so young, you won't get too fat even if you eat a lot," San Niu said!

"Okay! That puts my mind at ease. I'll tidy up the dishes and take them to the kitchen," Liu Hao said.

San Niu looked at Liu Hao and thought he was very cute. San Niu smiled happily!

After a while, Wang Cuihua brought over the medicine and said, "Girl, come soak your feet, and then drink your medicine later!"

"Yes, Mother, has Father gone out?" San Niu asked.

Wang Cuihua sat on the stool and said, "I just left, daughter. What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you!"

"I think braised pork ribs, steamed fish, and lotus root," San Niu said.

"Okay, I'll go buy the groceries in a bit, and I'll cook for you when I get back," Wang Cuihua said.

"Girl, did you manage to borrow the money?" Wang Cuihua asked cautiously.

San Niu looked up at Wang Cuihua and said, "Mom, I've borrowed the money. Don't worry, Brother Hao and the others will bring it to me this afternoon. Don't worry!"

"That's good. I didn't sleep well all night yesterday because I was so worried," Wang Cuihua said.

“Mother, don’t worry, I’ll handle anything. Besides, we need to start making clothes here. Once we sell the clothes and earn money, we can pay back the money quickly. Don’t worry,” San Niu said.

"Yes! I had forgotten about that. That's good. I'm relieved. I'll go get your medicine." Wang Cuihua smiled and went out.

San Niu smiled. Wang Cuihua was really easy to coax. She would listen to whatever you said. She was really not ungrateful at all!

Wang Cuihua brought the medicine over, and San Niu drank it all in one go, ate a piece of candy, and then went to bed!

"Daughter, you get some rest. I'm going to buy groceries. I'll lock the front door from the outside," Wang Cuihua said.

“Okay, lock it up! I’m not going out anyway,” San Niu said.

"Yes, it was your father. He told me to lock the front door when I go out. He told me a lot of things last night, and not to gossip outside. I'm so busy with things at home all day long, I don't have time to talk to other people. Wang Cuihua is unhappy, so say it!"

"Mother, just remember what Father said. He's worried that there are bad people outside who might steal from our family since we're doing well," San Niu said, trying to appease Wang Cuihua.

"Oh, I see! I understand now. Don't worry, I definitely won't go around telling anyone. Oh dear, your dad didn't explain things clearly either. I'm going to buy groceries," Wang Cuihua muttered as she left.

It seems Wang Cui was really frightened. San Niu smiled and continued reading her book.

At noon, Zhang Laosan came to the room and said, "Daughter, the fabric has all been brought back. Keep the note safe!"

"Okay, Dad, the fabric has arrived. We'll start making clothes tomorrow. From now on, you and Huang Xuan will manage the fruit business, and Uncle and Mom will help manage it. As for making clothes, San Niu looked at the note and put it in her bag!"

“Okay, the village chief and the others will arrive tomorrow morning. I’ll have Uncle Jun drive them back. My mom will cook a meal for them at noon. After lunch, I’ll have Brother Hao and the others hold a meeting for them,” San Niu said.

"What kind of meeting is this?" Zhang Laosan asked.

“Dad, as the saying goes, every family has its rules, and every factory has its rules. The purpose of this meeting is to let them know what they can and cannot do in the future. They’re all used to staying at home. If we don’t establish some rules, it will be difficult to manage them in the future. Dad, don’t worry about these things. If anyone asks you, just say that Brother Hao and Brother Wang Jun are the leaders, and you don’t know anything. Our family is just working for others,” San Niu said.

"Oh, okay, I understand. Do you want to see the village chief?" Zhang Laosan asked.

"Wait for Brother Hao. After they finish their meeting, have your eldest uncle take them to the third courtyard to stay for a while. You bring the village chief over to see me separately. I want to have a good talk with him. Also, the day after tomorrow morning, take two hundred yuan and take Xiao Hu and the others to their classes as soon as possible. Don't let them be late, San Niu said!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll go get you some food," Zhang Laosan said.

"Dad, bring more food over so we can eat together. I have something I want to tell you," San Niu said.

"Okay, I'll go get it now," San Niu said!

After a while, Wang Cuihua and Zhang Laosan came over with a lot of food!

San Niu sat down on the stool and said, "Dad, Mom, please sit down and let's eat together!"

"Okay," Wang Cuihua said.

Wang Cuihua and Zhang Laosan sat down and started eating. After the three of them finished eating, Sanniu drank her chicken soup and looked at Zhang Laosan and Wang Cuihua.

San Niu put down her bowl, looked at the two of them, and said, "Dad, Mom, do you think it's easy for our family to have the life we ​​have now?"

“Daughter, it hasn’t been easy for our family to get to where we are today. Back then, my daughter and I would walk dozens of miles every day before dawn, freezing to death, to sell chickens and pork in the county town. Ah, thinking about it now, those were really tough times,” Zhang Laosan said.

“Yes, it used to be tough and tiring. Although we earned a lot of money, it was really not easy,” Wang Cuihua said.

“Yes, Dad, Mom, every penny we earn is hard-earned, not only in the past but now. Look at my dad and the others, loading and unloading goods. After a day's work, their backs are so sore they can't straighten up. So we must cherish the good life we ​​have now,” San Niu said.

“Yes, girl, you’re right,” Zhang Laosan said.

“From now on, I will definitely listen to you and your father and never go out and talk nonsense,” Wang Cuihua said!

"Okay, Mom, take the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen. I have something to say to Dad. San Niu, finish your chicken soup and put the bowl down!"

Wang Cuihua took the bowl and chopsticks and went out!

"Dad, don't tell her how much money we have in the future. My mother is naive; she'll easily find out with just a few words. This afternoon, put the family's money in a separate account and give it to me to keep. Keep about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in your original account for my mother to keep," San Niu said.

“Alright, daughter, but I’ve hidden all our savings books. Your mother has never seen them, so she doesn’t know how much money we have,” Zhang Laosan said softly.

"That's good. In that case, you can keep it. You don't need to give it back to me. Just keep it for now! Dad, I trust you with this, San Niu said!"

"That's right, I'm much smarter than your mother, don't worry! Daughter," Zhang Laosan said happily!

“Yes, my dad is the smartest. From now on, you will be the general manager of all our family businesses. Dad, you are steady and reliable, so you are the most suitable to be the general manager,” said Zhang Laosan, the third daughter.

"Really? I can be the manager!" Zhang Laosan said with a smile!

"Yes, you're absolutely capable! With our family business, if you don't manage it, who else can?" San Niu exclaimed!

“No way! Nobody can be as reliable as my father. My father will be the general manager!” Zhang Laosan said happily.

“I’ll take care of things from behind the scenes, Father. You just need to focus on being the general manager,” San Niu said.

"Good, good, she's still my daughter. She's so filial to her father. Don't worry, I'll definitely do a good job," Zhang Laosan said.

“Okay, but Dad, I have to give you a heads-up. First, you need to keep a close eye on Mom. Second, now that you're a manager, you need to be more authoritative in front of those old folks. You can't joke around and laugh like you used to back home. Especially when you're assigning them tasks, you need to show the authority of a leader. They need to be afraid of you before they'll listen to you. Look at Manager Wang, those big leaders. When they put on a stern face, everyone is afraid. Only when they're afraid of you will they obediently listen to you,” San Niu said.

Zhang Laosan sat there, motionless for a long time, pondering San Niu's words. He was soft-hearted and used to be bullied a lot in the village. Even after his family became wealthy, although the villagers dared not bully him anymore, things didn't get much better. They often fought and bickered whenever they met, and nobody was afraid of him. Zhang Laosan lacked the confidence to make people fear him.
