Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

"Good morning, Factory Manager Shen!"

"Hehe, good morning everyone!"

Five new employees joined a couple of days ago, and Shen Dong could only vaguely recognize them but couldn't recall their names.

"Dongzi, I'm leaving, you chat!" Tang Yue said goodbye and went to do her work.

"Old Huang, why are you smiling so broadly today!"

Old Huang's real name is Huang Changhe. He has met quite a few people in his life, but this is the first time he has met such a young and capable person.

Previously, I just thought Shen Dong was capable and knowledgeable, but I didn't think he could really bring Liu Gui down. After all, Liu Gui had been working in the commune for a long time, while Shen Dong was just a greenhorn. I was just thinking that maybe, so I cooperated a little.

Unexpectedly, I actually met a capable person.

Liu Gui arrived early in the morning on his bicycle and greeted me warmly. I haven't received this kind of treatment in all these years!

"Hehe, Director Shen, I'm just happy! I'm happy for the future of our factory!"

Old Huang grinned and took the cigarette Shen Dong offered him.

"Hey, Huaihai, this is some good cigarettes."

"Alright, I'll go take a look first."

It must be said that the working class at that time was truly great and truly willing to make sacrifices.

Before it was even time to start work, everyone was already up and running. Although yesterday's events had a role to play, their spirit was still commendable.

After walking around, Shen Dong bent down to check the pressure gauge of the fermentation tank and saw a figure swaying back and forth at the door.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Qiu Xiaojun, whom I hadn't seen for several days.

"Why aren't you coming in? Your sister's matter is resolved!" Shen Dong stood up, took off his gloves, and said as he walked.

Qiu Xiaojun scratched his head, revealing a simple, honest smile, and said, "Brother Shen, I heard about it, so I came here today to thank you. And then...and then..."

"Just say what you have to say, why are you beating around the bush like a woman?"

Shen Dong knew something was up the moment he saw him loitering around the door.

"It's nothing, it's just that my sister knows Brother Shen helped a lot, and we couldn't do anything about it, so she thought we'd invite you to our house for a meal to thank you."

Seeing that Shen Dong was about to refuse, she quickly added, "My sister said that thanks to your help, otherwise this illness would have dragged on for who knows how long, so you must take it, otherwise you won't feel at ease."

Since things have come to this point, it would seem too distant to refuse further.

Shen Dong nodded: "Okay, come find me after get off work tonight."

Qiu Xiaojun's smile instantly brightened, and he said repeatedly, "Okay, okay! I'll go back now and come back this afternoon."

Shen Dong watched Qiu Xiaojun's retreating figure and chuckled softly, "That kid..."

Qiu Xiaojun's home was on the outskirts of the commune, quite a distance from the dairy factory, and he was already out of breath by the time he got home.

"Sis, Brother Shen is coming over for dinner tonight."

Qiu Xiaoqin was knitting when she heard her younger brother's words and was startled. She immediately put down her knitting and asked, "Brother Shen, why are you here for dinner? Did you invite him?"

"Yes, they helped us so much and solved Li Tong's big problem. We definitely need to thank them. We don't have any money, so we can only treat them to a meal."

Qiu Xiaoqin glared at her younger brother reproachfully, a hint of panic on her face. "You should at least have discussed this with me first! We have nothing at home, how are we going to entertain them?"

Qiu Xiaojun had already planned this all along. He sidled up to his sister, winking and saying, "Sis, Brother Shen isn't picky, and your cornbread is even more delicious than the steamed buns from restaurants!"

He said that, but he had his own agenda.

Brother Shen is very capable and kind-hearted. Today, I heard from Grandpa Huang that the factory will be under Brother Shen's management from now on. He is definitely a capable person, unlike those good-for-nothings like Li Tong.

Furthermore, his older sister, Qiu Xiaoqin, was diligent, capable, and good-looking. It was only because of the special circumstances in her family that her marriage was delayed.

If we could get the two of them to spend more time together, hehe...

"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so strangely?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I'll go fetch water. Sis, you hurry up and knead the dough." Qiu Xiaojun said and rushed out.

"Are you in such a hurry, Xiaojun? What time is it? The factory doesn't close for a while yet..."

Qiu Xiaojun had already run out and could no longer hear her voice. Qiu Xiaoqin could only shake her head helplessly and sigh.

Shen Dong's name has been appearing in her ears very frequently lately.

The first time was when she went to the textile factory to pick up fabric, she overheard her friends discussing that the commune's dairy factory had been shut down for a year, but suddenly made a new formula yogurt that became a hit. It was "invented" by a young man named Shen Dong, and she thought it was amazing.

The second time was when my younger brother stole from the dairy factory. Thinking about it makes me feel sad. If it weren't for my poor health, my brother wouldn't have been driven to steal. Fortunately, Shen Dong didn't hold it against me, otherwise my brother's life would have been ruined.

Then she heard that the problem had been solved, and even one of Li Tong's men, a thug named "Da Zai," came to tell her that he would no longer harass her family, which made her overjoyed.

As Qiu Xiaoqin was thinking, she suddenly felt her heart beat faster. She quickly got up and went into the kitchen, took out the white flour that the family had been saving for the New Year, and carefully scooped it out.

As I kneaded the dough, the thought of dinner unconsciously came to mind, and my hands slowly stopped moving...

As evening approached, Shen Dong saw that the trucks from various supply and marketing cooperatives were almost fully loaded, so he pushed his bicycle out and told Tang Yue that he was going to Qiu Xiaojun's house for dinner that night. Under Tang Yue's ambiguous smile, he drove off with Qiu Xiaojun on his bicycle.

Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Dong bought a few apples, a bottle of malted milk powder, some fruit candies, and two cans of yogurt from the factory. Even though Qiu Xiaojun kept trying to stop him, Shen Dong still bought them. How could he go to someone's place empty-handed?

The Qiu family lived in an adobe house with low walls. Several old locust trees grew in the yard, and the ground was kept very clean, with only a few scattered fallen leaves.

"Sis, Brother Shen is here! Look, he bought all of this. I told him not to buy it, but he wouldn't listen!"

Shen Dong followed behind with a smile, and saw a girl coming out of the kitchen.

A slightly plump face, fair with a hint of red, with a pair of large, clear eyes on a high nose bridge, and a small mole beside a pair of curved willow-leaf eyebrows. Her hair was neatly combed, with a long ponytail quietly hiding behind her.

She was wearing a clean floral blouse and an apron. When she saw Shen Dong, she hurriedly wiped her hands on the apron.

Even though later generations have seen many glamorous female celebrities, seeing Qiu Xiaoqin's fresh and beautiful appearance without makeup is still quite amazing.

Qiu Xiaoqin blushed slightly and said softly, "Comrade Shen Dong, please sit down. There's nothing fancy, please don't mind."
