Reborn in 1981, starting by smashing my iron rice bowl.

Wang Shujuan stood prettily outside the door, wearing the swimsuit that Liu Weidong had given her that afternoon!

The girl was already tall and slender, but her figure looked even more perfect in a swimsuit. She had a full chest, a slender waist, and two long, straight, white legs that were taut with tension. She was even more beautiful than the swimsuit models Liu Weidong had seen in his later years.

Liu Weidong never expected that his introverted and shy older sister would take the initiative to wear a swimsuit for him. He was completely stunned and stammered, unable to speak. He just stared at Wang Shujuan with admiration in his eyes, unwilling to look away.

It was rare to see Liu Weidong like this, and Wang Shujuan felt a mix of shyness and a little pride. Her pretty face flushed, she glared at him and said, "Haven't you seen enough yet?"

"You're so beautiful, how can I ever get enough of looking at you!" At this moment, Liu Weidong finally came to his senses and said with a face full of admiration, "Sister, you are so beautiful! Tsk tsk... How can you be so beautiful? I can't even find the words to describe it!"

"You just say things like that to make me happy!" Wang Shujuan smiled slightly at Liu Weidong: "Alright, you've seen it all, I'm going back to my room. I'm tired after a long day, go to sleep early!"

"Don't go! Let's chat for another five cents!" Liu Weidong quickly stopped him, wanting to feast his eyes a little longer.

But Wang Shujuan had exhausted all her courage and was too embarrassed to stay even a moment longer. She immediately turned and ran back to her room, leaving Liu Weidong with only an incredibly graceful back view.

Watching his sister slam the door shut, Liu Weidong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How can she possibly sleep now, this silly girl!"

Back in his room, Liu Weidong couldn't sleep at all. He tossed and turned in bed, his mind filled with the image of Wang Shujuan in her swimsuit. He finally drifted off to sleep as dawn broke.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Liu Weidong suddenly woke up. He quickly got up and changed out of his pajamas, finally letting out a long sigh of relief. While embarrassed, he was also quite relieved; youth was truly wonderful—it had been a long time since something like this had happened before his rebirth!

Liu Weidong lazily walked into the yard and saw Wang Shujuan making breakfast in the kitchen.

Perhaps thinking of her bold actions last night, Wang Shujuan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she smiled as she said to him, "You're up? Come sit at the table, breakfast will be ready soon!"

Before long, Wang Shujuan placed a sumptuous breakfast on the table and smiled at Liu Weidong, saying, "Don't just stand there, eat up!"

Liu Weidong wasn't interested in breakfast, but he hugged Wang Shujuan's slender waist and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister!"

Wang Shujuan panicked immediately and whispered a reminder to Liu Weidong: "Let go quickly, it's broad daylight, be careful someone sees us!"

"No, the door is closed, how could anyone see? Let me hug you a little longer!" Liu Weidong started to act spoiled, and Wang Shujuan was immediately at a loss with him.

Smelling the delicate fragrance emanating from Wang Shujuan and admiring her curvaceous figure, Liu Weidong was quite satisfied. He asked her in a low voice, "Sister, is there anything you need today?"

Wang Shujuan's body went limp from Liu Weidong's embrace, and she whispered in a trembling voice, "N-nothing...why are you asking?"

Liu Weidong released Wang Shujuan and smiled at her, saying, "Since you're alright, let's go to the city for a day, have a meal, watch a movie, and I'll buy you some new clothes while we're at it."

Wang Shujuan quickly said, "Didn't you...didn't you already buy me a dress yesterday? Why do you need to buy me another one?"

Liu Weidong said, "You can't wear that dress out, so I'll buy you a few clothes that you can wear out this time!"

Wang Shujuan said with difficulty, "But those clivia plants still need watering. What will happen to them if I leave?"

Liu Weidong chuckled and said, "You can leave this to Aunt Zhao and the others. People need to balance work and rest. You've been busy with the clivia for over two months, it's time to relax. That's settled then, let's set off after breakfast!"

Wang Shujuan never objected to anything Liu Weidong decided, and this time was no exception. So, a little over two hours later, the two arrived in the city.

Without hesitation, Liu Weidong took Wang Shujuan to see a movie. After all, decades later, movie theaters would still be the best place for lovers to deepen their relationship.

In a dimly lit place, the two were huddled close together, with hardly anyone else around. In this situation, who cares what the movie is about? Wouldn't it be better to do something else?

Movie tickets are cheap these days, only 80 cents each, so two people can watch a movie for just 1.6 yuan.

Before the movie started, Liu Weidong bought Wang Shujuan a bottle of Beibingyang soda and a bag of popcorn for 50 cents at the movie theater entrance, spending only one yuan in total.

This was already the highest level of entertainment at the time, attracting envious glances from many young men and women.

However, when Liu Weidong walked into the cinema full of anticipation, he realized he was terribly wrong. Films from the early 1980s were nothing like those decades later; they lacked all the expected merits!

Once inside the movie theater, Liu Weidong discovered it was packed with audience members. To get to his seat, he had to squeeze past everyone else, and once he sat down, he was surrounded by people on all sides.

Although the lights were turned off after the movie started, staff members wearing red armbands continued to patrol. If they spotted young men and women getting too close, they would shine a flashlight on them as a warning.

Under such circumstances, not only would Wang Shujuan certainly not get too close to Liu Weidong, but even Liu Weidong himself would feel somewhat embarrassed to make any advances towards her.

Even worse, for Liu Weidong, who had seen so many blockbusters from later generations, movies from this era were simply not worth watching. He almost fell asleep after sitting for over an hour, and even his butt was sore from sitting so long.

On the contrary, Wang Shujuan watched the film with great interest and was completely moved by it. She even teared up when she saw the sad parts.

After finally making it to the end of the movie, Liu Weidong breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally over. He vowed never to bring a girl to the movies again—it was torture!

After leaving the movie theater, Liu Weidong, at Wang Shujuan's insistence, went to return the empty bottles of Beibingyang soda.

These days, empty beer and soda bottles have a deposit fee of two cents each. Although Liu Weidong's current income means he can easily afford to ignore the two cents, Wang Shujuan is used to being frugal and wouldn't be willing to waste money like that.

It was lunchtime, and Liu Weidong planned to take Wang Shujuan out for a nice meal. The route from the cinema to the nearby state-run restaurant involved passing a farmers' market.

There were a few flower vendors on the street outside the farmers' market. Liu Weidong glanced at them and immediately stopped.
