After dinner, Zhang San asked his younger sister to chat with Su Xin at home, while he went to Muramasa's house to sit down and talk to Muramasa about what he said yesterday.
"Sir, you are here, come in quickly."
As soon as Zhang San walked to the door of Cunzheng's house, he met Mrs. Zhang Sun who was going out. When she saw Zhang San, Mrs. Zhang Sun said enthusiastically.
"Auntie, are you going out?" Zhang San asked.
"Yes, let's go to the sugar factory. Our toffee sales are very good now. We still have a batch of goods to be delivered today." Zhang Sun said with a bright face.
"Auntie, thank you for your hard work. I will give you a big red envelope when the year-end bonus comes." Zhang San said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. Sir, please sit down first. I will get you a glass of water. The old man has gone to deliver food to the escort. He should be back soon."
Mrs. Zhang Sun invited Zhang San into the house and quickly went to pour water.
"Auntie, there's no need to be busy. I have nothing to do, so I just stopped by to take a look. You go and do your work first. I'll go for a walk and come back later." Zhang San said.
"Hey, Sir, here you are, you haven't been here for a long time." Muramasa just came in and said happily when he saw Zhang San.
"Thank you Muramasa for your hard work. This escort team still wants to trouble you to deliver food. I'll come back and see if there are two dedicated cooks for them." Zhang San said with concern.
"It's not hard. I don't have much to do. Since I have the escort team, I can rest assured when I sleep at night." Muramasa replied.
"Old man, please talk to Sir, I'm going to the sugar factory." Zhang Sun said as she served tea to the two of them.
"Okay, go and do your work." Muramasa said.
"Auntie, go slowly, thank you for your hard work." Zhang San stood up and saw her off.
"Sir, please sit down while you chat." Mrs. Zhang Sun raised her hand and asked Zhang San to sit down, then she took her things and left happily.
"Do you have something to do with your visit today?" Muramasa asked after taking a sip of water.
"There is something I want to tell you." Zhang San replied.
"It's like this. Our commune is currently short of manpower. I want you to ask the villagers if they have any relatives or friends who want to come to work with us."
"Oh, sir, you don't know, there are quite a few people who want to come to our place now. Many people came to ask me, but I was afraid that the secrets of our village would be learned by others, so I didn't agree."
Muramasa was very happy when he talked about this. It turned out that Zhangjiacun was a backward village with a sparse population and was bullied and looked down upon by other villages.
Nowadays, people in Zhangjiacun are very proud when they go out. They hold their heads high wherever they go, and are envied by people in neighboring villages.
"Muramasa, I think we can't work behind closed doors. We still need to attract some outsiders. After all, our commune is now on the rise and we need manpower everywhere." Zhang San said.
"What Sir Alex is saying is, what if outsiders learn our skills and spread them out?" Muramasa said still a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we keep leading the trend. Without competition, there will be no growth." Zhang San said.
"Okay, then we will do as you say, Sir." Muramasa replied.
"Also, isn't our sugar factory now under unified management by the commune? The share-sharing partnership model I originally told you has also changed. I want to apologize to you Muramasa for this." Zhang
San stood up and apologized to Muramasa.
"My lord, what you said makes me feel so embarrassed. You also think about our village. Without you, neither I nor our Zhangjia village would be able to live such a prosperous life now."
Muramasa was indeed a little emotional about this matter at first, but seeing Zhang San actually apologize to him in person, Muramasa was very flattered and at the same time felt ashamed of his original thoughts.
The sugar factory was originally opened by Zhang San, but now that the sugar factory has been placed under the commune, Zhang San is the one who has suffered the greatest losses.
At the same time, as a lord, Zhang San was able to apologize to himself for this matter regardless of his status, which made Muramasa feel that he was really a jerk.
Zhang San's move is also to win people's hearts. With the village here, he can have more energy to do other things. Only when the rear is stable can he flex his muscles.
Zhang San discussed the development plan and prospects of the commune with Muramasa again, and asked Muramasa to take good care of himself. Muramasa also thanked Zhang San profusely and vowed to do his best to lead the development of the commune and live up to Zhang San's trust.

…
After returning from Muramasa, Zhang San went to the backyard and saw his younger sister playing with Su Xin on the swing. Zhang San was going to go back to the study to write something without disturbing her.
"Third brother, you have a letter." When the younger sister saw Zhang San, she jumped down from the swing and shouted.
"Letter, what letter?" Zhang San asked curiously.
"I don't know if someone from the house sent it to me," the younger sister replied.
When Zhang San heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked: "Where is the letter?"
"I put it in the study for you."
Zhang San said hello to Su Xin and hurriedly ran to the study, "Finally there is a reply." Zhang San shouted excitedly in his heart.
Zhang San picked up the letter on the table and read the seal. Fortunately, the girl didn't open it privately.
"What I'm thinking in my heart is just like Mr. Zhang San's thought. I'm very happy after reading that poem. I hope to see you again, and I would like to send you my best regards." Zhang San read these few lines many times.
Very happy.
"I'm in love!" Zhang San shouted loudly in his heart.
"Third brother, what are you doing for fun?" Just as Zhang San was immersed in joy, a sudden voice brought Zhang San back to reality.
"Little sister, why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?" Zhang San said angrily.
"I knocked, but you didn't hear it. Show me who wrote you the letter that made you so happy." The little girl stretched out her hand to read Zhang San's letter.
Seeing the gossipy look on the little girl's face, Zhang San felt a twitch in his heart. It seems that women's gossip mentality is the same in all eras.
"It's a nice idea, let's go and play." Zhang San quickly collected the letter and hid it in his arms.
"Humph, the third brother dislikes the little sister less and less now, and doesn't share anything with the little sister anymore." The little sister was about to shed tears as she spoke.
Zhang San quickly apologized and said kind words: "Little sister, you are the most important in Third Brother's heart. How could I not like you? Third Brother will prepare delicious food for you tonight."
Sure enough, as soon as she heard that there was delicious food, the little girl's face immediately changed: "Really, don't lie to me."
"Of course, I will cook myself tonight and make you some delicious food." Zhang San was in a particularly good mood today and said as he shaved the bridge of the little girl's nose.
"That's pretty much it. What should we have for dinner tonight?" the little girl asked quickly.
"You'll know then. I'll go to the kitchen and see what's there."
"I will go with you."
The little sister took Zhang San to the kitchen. Seeing the little girl changing her face faster than turning the page in a book, Zhang San was speechless. He knew that the little girl was just pretending, not to mention that her acting skills were really good.
