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

The next day, in the morning, San Niu and Liu Hao got up, washed up, and started eating breakfast!

"Baby, come and have two eggs. Liu Hao will give the peeled eggs to San Niu!"

"Brother Hao, you should have some too. Daddy's tea eggs are especially delicious!" San Niu said.

"Yes, it's delicious. Your second sister just secretly took a few eggs and put them in her schoolbag," Liu Hao said.

“Sigh, Second Sister, really! Mother was right, she’s such a glutton. Nothing is more important to her than food. Look how fat she’s gotten! Don’t mind her, I’ll have Mother deal with her,” said Third Sister.

“Okay, I’ll pretend I don’t know, honey, drink more soy milk,” Liu Hao said.

“Okay, you drink too. After we finish eating, let’s go to the housing management office and find Director Guo,” San Niu said.

"Okay, let's go when we're warmer. It's too cold this morning. Let's go around ten o'clock," Liu Hao said.

“Okay! After you finish eating, go to the electronics factory, take a look, and then we’ll go back,” San Niu said.

"I understand," Liu Hao said.

"Honey, are you full? Would you like some more eggs?" Liu Hao asked.

"I'm full. I'll peel an egg for you. You eat the steamed bun first," San Niu said.

“Okay, just peel two more,” Liu Hao said.

“Alright, here you go. In a couple of days, you should go to the textile factory for a meeting to plan the production of summer fabrics,” San Niu said.

"I know, honey. I saw the clothes you designed yesterday. They were made with last year's fabric, and they looked really good!" Liu Hao said.

"Really? I haven't seen it yet! As long as it looks good, it'll sell well!" San Niu said.

“Yes, that’s perfect. Once you’re better, the weather will be warmer, and you can sell the clothes you made,” Liu Hao said.

“Yes! It’s just a good time, so it won’t interfere with my recovery or my earning money. How great is that!” San Niu said.

"Yes, it's just a perfect timing. By the time you start selling clothes, you won't be able to do fruit business either. Everything is just right," Liu Hao said!

“Yes, how long can the fruit from Hainan be sold?” San Niu asked.

"We won't be able to sell for many more days. The fruit over there is almost out of season. The trees have no fruit left. The fruit will spoil if it's not picked, so they've all picked it and are keeping it at home. So we can only order two more batches at most. We can't order any more after that, otherwise the fruit will spoil if left for too long," Liu Hao said.

“Okay, we’ll do it two more times, then we’ll stop. But if others make too much and someone places an order, we’ll have to order more. If no one places an order, we’ll stop,” San Niu said.

"Okay, I'll tell Junzi and Xuanzi, Liu Hao said!"

"Honey, I'm going for a walk. I'll be right back," Liu Hao said.

“Okay, go ahead!” San Niu said.

After a while, Wang Cuihua came in carrying the medicine and foot bath water!

"Girl, come soak your feet and drink your medicine," Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay, San Niu, drink your medicine and start soaking your feet!"

"Mom, you and Dad got up early this morning. How many tea eggs did you boil? Are there any left?" San Niu asked.

"Your father cooked twenty tea eggs, and you ate them all today. What's wrong? Do you want more?" Wang Cuihua said.

"What I'm talking about is that Second Sister packed all the tea eggs into her schoolbag," Third Sister said.

"That brat! Just wait until she gets back, I'll teach her a lesson! I was wondering why! I used to cook twenty, and there were always a few left over, but today there were none left. Turns out she took them all! It's infuriating!" Wang Cuihua said angrily.

"Mom, don't be angry. Lock up all the snacks and fruits in the house and don't let her eat them anymore. Let's see if she can still handle it. It's not hard to deal with her!" San Niu said.

“Okay, I’ll go lock it up now. Honey, I’ll bring over two boxes of fruit for you and Liu Hao to eat,” Wang Cuihua said.

"Alright, go ahead! Don't let the fruit spoil, you and Dad eat more," San Niu said!

“I know! Your dad eats some fruit every night before bed, and he especially loves mangoes,” Wang Cuihua said.

"Eat as much as you like, because there won't be any left in a few days. The fruit season in Hainan is over; we'll have to wait until autumn to have fruit again," San Niu said.

"Oh, I see! It's past its prime, it's almost March," Wang Cuihua said!

"Okay, Hao-gege and I will be going out for a bit later. You stay here and watch the house, don't go out," San Niu said.

"Okay, I understand. I'll do the laundry at home," Wang Cuihua said.

"It's alright, you can go back to your work!" San Niu said.

Wang Cuihua went out to do laundry!

San Niu started changing her clothes. She put on her thick clothes and put the house deed in her bag!

After a while, Liu Hao came back and said, "Honey, let's go! Come on, honey, put on your cotton-padded coat and your hat. It might rain; the sky is already overcast!"

"Really? Everything's ready, let's go!"

"Honey, is the door still locked?" Liu Hao asked.

"Lock it up! It's better to be safe," San Niu said.

"It's locked, let's go!" Liu Hao took San Niu's hand and walked forward.

San Niu and Liu Hao went outside, drove their car, and went straight to the housing management office!

Upon arriving at the housing management office, San Niu and Liu Hao found Director Guo!

"Oh! You've arrived! Please sit down and have some tea. Master Guo, quickly pour some tea for them!"

"What brings you here?" Director Guo asked, after pouring tea and sitting on the sofa.

"There's something I'd like to trouble Director Guo with," San Niu said.

"Just tell me what it is. We have such a good relationship, don't worry, as long as it's within my power, I'll definitely do it for you, Director Guo!"

"Then I'll get straight to the point. It's like this: Brother Hao's friend wants to sell us some storefronts, but the deeds we've seen are too old. We don't know if they're still valid, so we'd like to ask you, Aunt Guo, to take a look and see if these deeds are still usable. San Niu, take the deeds to Director Guo!"

Director Guo took the property deed and examined it carefully. After a while, he said, "Although this property deed is quite old, it's valid and usable, so don't worry! Moreover, I know that these shops used to belong to a wealthy businessman surnamed Liu. A few years ago, things were very chaotic, and his family was labeled as rightists. Many people wanted to take action against them, but before they could make a move, the Liu family fled overnight. I later heard that they all went to Hong Kong. You don't know, the Liu family was the richest family in Beijing at the time, with a lot of money. However, they couldn't take much with them. Just the confiscation of their property took two days to move everything. I went to see it myself; it was all valuable stuff. It's such a pity!"

"Oh, I see! We're relieved to hear that, Aunt Guo. Thank you, Aunt Guo. Now, you go ahead with your work, we'll head back now," San Niu said!

"Alright, the deed is fine. If you want to buy it, you can buy it without worry," Aunt Guo said!

"Okay, we got it! We're going back now, San Niu and Liu Hao are going back too!"

In the car, Liu Hao said, "Honey, this is great! We're really going to strike it rich this time!"

"Brother Hao, I'm so happy! I'm so lucky!" San Niu exclaimed.

“Honey, let me take you to see a house! It’s not far, we can look at them in the car. It’s too cold today, don’t get out,” Liu Hao said.

"Okay, I'll take a look inside. You can come down and see if the house is nice," San Niu said.

“Okay, let’s go. It’ll only take about ten minutes. With these storefronts, we won’t need to buy any more storefronts in the future,” Liu Hao said.

“Yes, oh my! It’s like what I wish for comes true! We were just talking about buying shops a few days ago! And now we have twelve shops, and they’re free! This is such a wonderful thing! It must be because I suffered too much in my past life, and God is making it up to me,” said San Niu.

“Honey, shouldn’t it be that God rewarded you for doing too many good deeds in your past life? Honey, why are you saying it the other way around?” Liu Hao said!

"Oh, that's not important. Whether we rebel or not doesn't matter anymore. The main thing is the house. It'll be ours from now on, right?" San Niu said!

"Yes, absolutely right! Baby's absolutely right, Liu Hao said!"

"Hmm, that's more like it. Brother Hao, do you know about Boss Liu's family?" San Niu asked.

“When Mr. Liu and his family got into trouble, I was still very young and didn’t know anything about it. Later, I heard my family talk about it. My dad said that Mr. Liu was actually a very kind person. During the war, Mr. Liu donated a lot of things and a lot of money to the army. In fact, many people wanted to protect Mr. Liu, otherwise Mr. Liu’s family would not have been able to leave Beijing safely,” Liu Hao said.

"Oh, it seems there are still good people out there. Boss Liu is one of them. Good people get good rewards," San Niu said!

"Yes, that's right. Back then, many leaders went directly to see the Chairman. Otherwise, many people would have been in trouble," Liu Hao said!

"Honey, we're here. Look at those storefronts in front, that whole row of them. You can look around in the car, I'll get out and take a look." Liu Hao said, pushing open the door and getting out to look at the houses.

San Niu was sitting in the car and could only see the exterior of the house. However, from the outside, the house looked quite old. The doors were all old-fashioned wooden doors, and the windows were also old-fashioned. Sigh, what a waste. Such a nice house has been worn out for more than ten years. It's such a pity!

After a while, Liu Hao returned. He got into the car and said, "Honey, I've looked at the house carefully. There's generally no problem, except for the doors, windows, and exterior walls. We'll have to redo them, or replace the doors and windows!"

"I know, there's nothing we can do right now anyway, let's leave it for now and deal with it later. Let's go home!"

“However, there’s still a lot inside the house—a table, chairs, a counter, and stuff like that. Let’s change all the locks another day and see if there’s anything good inside,” Liu Hao said.

“Yes, you’re so thoughtful. This afternoon, you come with my dad to change all the locks and check everything in the room. If there are any good things, bring them all home. Oh, and bring some tables and chairs to the second courtyard too,” San Niu said.

"Okay, I know. If Uncle knew we got so many storefronts for free, he'd be ecstatic," Liu Hao said!

"Well, let's not talk about this yet, especially not my eldest sister and the others. People have a sense of propriety, so it's better for us to keep a low profile. I don't want the three of us sisters to have any unpleasantness in the future because of money," San Niu said.

“Yes, you’re right. Let’s just tell Uncle Guang, and not tell the others,” Liu Hao said.

"Yes, I will remind my father," San Niu said.

"Oh dear! It's raining, we can't do it today," San Niu said.

"The sky was overcast this morning, and I thought it might rain, and it really did," Liu Hao said!

“It hasn’t rained for a long time. It seems like it hasn’t rained since we came back from Hainan,” San Niu said.

"It hasn't snowed yet, but the snow in Beijing hasn't completely melted since we came back from Hainan!" Liu Hao said.

"Yes, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. All I remembered was that it didn't rain, San Niu said!"

"Look at my dad, he's standing at the gate welcoming us!" San Niu exclaimed.

"Baby, don't get out of the car yet. I'll go get an umbrella from Uncle and then come back to pick you up." After saying that, Liu Hao pushed the car, ran to the gate, asked Zhang Laosan for an umbrella, and came to pick up San Niu!

"Baby, you hold the umbrella, I'll carry you home." Liu Hao gave the umbrella to San Niu, then carried her on his back and ran quickly into the yard!
