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

The next day, early in the morning, San Niu and Liu Hao got up, washed up, and went to the dining room for breakfast!

San Niu and Liu Hao went to the dining room and sat down to eat with everyone!

"My dear daughter, Liu Hao, you two eat quickly. After you finish eating, I'll go to the other yard and pick some watermelons for you," said Zhang Laosan.

"Okay, Dad, pick a few more," San Niu said!

"Okay, I understand. I'll pick the biggest and best ones," said Zhang Laosan.

"By the way, Wang Jun and Huang Xuan have already taken people to deliver the goods, Zhang Laosan said!"

"So early!" San Niu exclaimed.

"Yes, they came to load the goods around five o'clock. After loading, they took a few buns and left. They said they were busy making clothes at home, and if they finished delivering the goods early, Xiao Jun and the others could come back and make more clothes, Zhang Laosan said!"

“Oh, it seems they are quite sensible,” San Niu said.

“You’re so good to them, if they still don’t know their place, we won’t be able to get along in the future,” Liu Hao said.

“Yes, Liu Hao, that’s right. Relationships between people need to be reciprocal for them to last,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Sweetie, have two tea eggs," Liu Hao said.

"Okay, San Niu, start eating your eggs!"

After finishing their meal, Zhang Laosan went to pick watermelons, while Sanniu and Liu Hao went back to their room!

Back in his room, Liu Hao went to do the laundry!

With nothing to do, San Niu started reading while lying down!

Soon, Liu Hao finished washing the clothes, came in, and said, "Honey, go change your clothes!"

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes," San Niu said, getting up to change.

San Niu also wore a cheongsam today. After getting dressed, she put on a matching set of jewelry and came out!

"They look beautiful! Every cheongsam looks great on my darling. I'll ask Master Li to make you a few more another day. And some hats to match the clothes," Liu Hao said.

“Now that it’s getting hot, I don’t want to wear a hat. If I’m going to make one, I’ll make one for autumn and winter, especially for winter, because I’m afraid of the cold. I need to make a lot of them,” San Niu said.

“Okay, honey, I got it. In a few days, once this batch of goods is finished, I’ll ask Master Li to make them for you,” Liu Hao said.

Zhang Laosan came in and said, "The watermelons are all picked. I've packed them in two bags, and they're in the car. Just drive my car!"

"Okay, Dad, change your clothes, we should go," San Niu said.

"Okay, I'll go change now. You guys go to the main gate! Oh, and lock your room doors. There's no one in this yard today, so lock them. Don't worry," Zhang Laosan said before going to change his clothes.

Liu Hao locked the door, then took San Niu's hand and walked outside!

Upon reaching the gate, San Niu and Liu Hao sat in the car, waiting for Zhang Laosan!

Zhang Laosan quickly changed his clothes and came back!

Zhang Laosan sat in the back, Liu Hao and San Niu sat in the front, Liu Hao was in charge of driving, and then they set off!

"My dear daughter, Liu Hao, his private restaurant, isn't that where many high-ranking officials dine?" Zhang Laosan said.

"Yes, leaders often go there for meals, but they're all in private rooms, so you usually don't get to see them," Liu Hao said.

"Oh, that's good. I was quite scared," Zhang Laosan said.

"Dad, it's alright, don't be afraid. We'll be in the private room, nothing will happen. Besides, the people who eat there are all important people, no one will dare to cause trouble," San Niu said!

"Oh, that's good. I was just afraid of embarrassing you," Zhang Laosan said.

"No, my dad is so good, I'm so proud of him, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here. Dad, don't worry! Nothing will happen. Besides, even if we run into a big leader, we don't need to be afraid. Those leaders are all reasonable and won't bother anyone," San Niu said!

"Well, that puts my mind at ease. Sigh," Zhang Laosan sighed.

“Dad, I’ll bring you here more often in the future, so you won’t be scared. Just treat us like family, do whatever you want. The first time I met Wang Jun and Huang Xuan’s parents, I didn’t treat them like big leaders. I just treated them like ordinary old men. There’s nothing to be afraid of. I just chatted with them and said whatever I wanted. It’s okay if I said something wrong, it’s no big deal,” San Niu said.

"Yes, Uncle, relax, it's okay. My dad and his colleagues are leaders at work, but when they get home, they're just like you. There's nothing to be afraid of," Liu Hao said.

"Sigh, hearing you all say that, there's really nothing to be afraid of, Zhang Laosan says!"

Soon, San Niu and her friends arrived at the private restaurant!

Liu Hao parked the car, and San Niu and the others got out. As soon as they opened the trunk, the boss came over!

Upon seeing their car, the boss quickly walked over and said, "Oh! Welcome, welcome! You're so busy, it's such a bother to make this trip!"

“Boss, what are you saying? It’s our honor that you invited us here. Nothing is more important than what’s on your end. I even brought my dad here today to meet you and to give you some feedback,” San Niu said.

"Oh my! Distinguished guests! Hello, Uncle, welcome! Come, come, please come inside!" the boss said happily.

“Boss, we didn’t bring any gifts today. This bag contains watermelons that my dad grew himself. We brought them especially for Uncle and Grandpa. It’s so hot today, and we hope they can feel more comfortable eating some watermelon,” San Niu said.

"Oh! Thank you so much, this is such a thoughtful gift. My grandfather is getting old and hasn't been eating much these past few days, so this is a good opportunity to invite him to eat a few more slices of watermelon. I'll get the watermelon, you guys go ahead." The shopkeeper happily went to get the watermelon bag!

Liu Hao also took a bag and walked away with the boss!

Soon, the boss led them to a private room!

The owner entered the private room and personally brewed tea for San Niu and the others. After pouring the tea, the owner said, "Come, come, everyone, have some tea!"

"Boss, you go ahead and get busy! There are so many people here right now, so many people, and we need you to take care of them. We're all family, so don't be shy. Go on your way!" San Niu said.

"Miss Zhang is so considerate and thoughtful. Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then. It just so happens that several leaders have come today, and I have to entertain them personally. I'll apologize to them another day," the boss said.

"What's the point of apologizing? Just prepare some more delicious dishes, that'll be enough," San Niu said!

"Okay, no need to say anything then. The dishes were prepared a long time ago and will be served in a bit. Excuse me, boss, take these two bags and hurry up and leave!"

"This boss really knows how to talk," Zhang Laosan remarked.

"Of course! There are so many people every day, we have to entertain them. If you don't know how to talk, that's fine! Dad, have something to eat," San Niu said, "and give Zhang Laosan a snack!"

"The snacks here are delicious too," Zhang Laosan said as he ate.

"It's delicious, but don't eat too much. There will be more delicious dishes later," San Niu said!

“Yes, then I won’t eat it,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Dad, let's go back and buy some more snacks for you. Now that we have a refrigerator, they won't spoil for days if we put them in there," San Niu said!

"Okay, buy a few more boxes of these, I like them," Zhang Laosan said!

“Okay, I’ll buy it. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you,” San Niu said!

San Niu and Zhang Lao San were whispering to each other!

Liu Hao looked at San Niu and Zhang Laosan and found it amusing. San Niu was coaxing Zhang Laosan like a child!

After a while, the waiter brought the dishes. He placed all the dishes on the table and said, "Please enjoy your meal. All the dishes today were prepared by the old man himself. He even said thank you for the watermelon you brought!"

"Please also give us your regards and express our gratitude to the old man," San Niu said.

"Okay, then please enjoy your meal. The waiters will be leaving now!"

San Niu served Zhang Laosan some food, saying as she did so, "Dad, try it! The old man's cooking is excellent today, eat more!"

“Okay, you guys eat too. I’ll get it for myself,” Zhang Laosan said as he ate.

"Honey, you should eat too. This is sweet and sour dried fish. Try it, it's delicious," Liu Hao said, picking up some food for San Niu.

San Niu tasted all the dishes and said, "The food today is so delicious, you should all eat quickly!"

"Grandpa, the dishes you made are delicious! I never imagined that dried fish could be used to make so many dishes. Every single one is delicious!" said Zhang Laosan.

"Dad, Brother Hao, please eat more. Let's all finish eating. San Niu is talking as she eats!"

The three of them, San Niu and her friends, finished almost all the food!

San Niu and the others are stuffed!

After a while, the owner came over with his men, carrying ten boxes of pastries, and said, "I apologize for the poor hospitality today. These pastries were specially given to you by my grandfather!"

"Please thank Grandpa for us. I'll come back another day to bring him watermelons," San Niu said.

"Okay, that's good, I'll remember that. Miss Zhang, you really have to help me, send over more watermelons. The old man works so hard every day and can't eat. I'm so worried about him!" the boss said.

"Don't worry, boss. Even if we don't eat them ourselves, I'll still give some to the old man. I'm busy these days, but I'll personally deliver the watermelons the day after tomorrow, in the afternoon," San Niu said.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much," the boss said!

"Alright, thank you so much, Grandpa, for cooking for us today. Let's head back now," San Niu said.

"Alright, take care then. I won't see you off," the boss said.

"Okay, you go ahead with your work!" San Niu said, then led the way and left.

Zhang Laosan and Liu Hao, carrying snacks, followed San Niu inside!

San Niu and the others went outside and drove straight home!

On the way, Zhang Laosan said, "The boss is so considerate, treating us to dinner and even giving us so many snacks!"

"Dad, he's got his eye on our watermelons. Let's not eat watermelons for the next couple of days. We ate his food today, so we have to return the favor. I'll send him a lot of watermelons the day after tomorrow," San Niu said.

“Okay, I understand. I won’t pick any watermelons these next two days. I’ll save them and give them to them,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Good, Dad, the watermelons you planted have grown, haven't they?" San Niu said!

"It's grown! It already has two or three leaves. It grows incredibly fast in the greenhouse. I estimate we'll be able to eat it in October," Zhang Laosan said.

"Wow, you've grown so fast, that's great!" San Niu said.

"Uncle, my yard's been sitting idle lately! Why don't you plant some watermelons, or vegetables, or something?" Liu Hao said.

“Great! I’ll plant some vegetables and some watermelons. San Niu loves them. If we keep doing this, we won’t have any to eat for days. If I plant more, San Niu will have plenty of watermelons to eat in the future,” said Zhang Laosan.

"That's great!" San Niu exclaimed.

Soon, San Niu and the others arrived home. Once home, they put the snacks in the refrigerator, and San Niu said, "Dad, don't forget to eat them!"

“Okay, I’ll remember to eat. I’ll cook tonight! The restaurant looks really busy,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, Dad, tonight you can make some cold noodles. It's easy and quick, San Niu said!"

“Alright, let’s have cold noodles then. I’ll go buy some cold dishes too. Don’t you love cold dishes the most?” Zhang Laosan said.

"Uncle, you cook, I'll go buy some cold dishes. I'll buy a lot. You don't need to cook any dishes, it's too hot. Just boil noodles, that's fine!" Liu Hao said.
