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

Liu Weidong was stunned and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that she had already spoken up, Huang Qian didn't have many concerns. She bravely raised her head and looked at Liu Weidong, saying, "I said I would listen to my dad. Since he wants me to marry you in the future, then... then I will definitely do it, unless you don't want me!"

Actually, this was something the girl had been looking forward to, but she was just too shy to say it. Today, her father gave her a huge boost, so she naturally went along with it and agreed.

Huang Zhigang was also very happy and nodded repeatedly, saying, "My good daughter, good, that's wonderful!"

Only Liu Weidong was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

To be fair, Liu Weidong had a good impression of this pure, beautiful, sensible, and lively girl. But to say he wanted to marry her was simply an exaggeration.

However, Huang Qian had just suffered a series of huge blows, and her emotions were already very unstable. Therefore, Liu Weidong did not dare to refuse the girl immediately, for fear that she would not be able to withstand the blows and would commit suicide.

So, faced with Huang Zhigang and his daughter's pressure to get married, Liu Weidong didn't dare to refuse immediately. He could only say helplessly, "Oh well, we'll talk about the future later. Maybe Xiaoqian will meet a more suitable guy after she goes to university. In short, for now, you should settle down at my house, study hard, and get into university. We'll talk about other things later!"

Seeing Liu Weidong's resolute attitude, and knowing that this was the bottom line he could accept, Huang Zhigang did not insist that he agree. He simply bowed again and said, "Brother Weidong, thank you for your trouble!"

"Don't worry!" Liu Weidong nodded to Huang Zhigang, giving his promise.

The police outside had grown impatient and soon came in to take Huang Zhigang away.

Looking at her father's hunched back, Huang Qian couldn't help but sob again.

"Alright, it's okay." Liu Weidong quickly patted Huang Qian's back gently and comforted her softly, "Don't think too much about it from now on, just focus on your studies and don't let your dad worry!"

"Yes!" The girl nodded firmly, but tears kept streaming down her face, her pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.

Liu Weidong hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't bear it. He gently put his arm around Huang Qian's slender body and said, "Don't cry. Uncle will take you to have a good meal. Let's forget about all the unhappy things!"

"Mmm!" The girl, her face streaked with tears, nodded gently and nestled softly in Liu Weidong's arms. She felt that this was the safest place in the world, and she wished it could stay like this forever.

Liu Weidong took Huang Qian to the best restaurant in the city, treating her to a lavish meal that cost over thirty yuan, and then bought her several new outfits afterwards. With Liu Weidong's deliberate comforting words, Huang Qian, though still somewhat down, felt much better than before.

When the two were taking the bus back to the county town, Huang Qian hesitated for a moment, but still quietly took Liu Weidong's arm and leaned her whole body against him.

Now Liu Weidong was in for a tough time. The bus was already crowded, and with the girl doing this, he could clearly feel Huang Qian's slightly immature figure. It was a terrible test!

Liu Weidong initially wanted to pull his arm away, but when he turned his head and saw Huang Qian's unusually calm expression, he hesitated for a moment and then let her continue to hold him.

For the remainder of the summer vacation, Huang Qian stayed at Liu Weidong's house. Since the rural area was quite spacious, the girl didn't feel cramped sleeping in Wang Shujuan's room.

Wang Shujuan was a kind-hearted girl who had also experienced the tragic loss of both her parents, so she took special care of Huang Qian. She took meticulous care of Huang Qian's daily life and often encouraged her to think more positively and face life's setbacks bravely.

The girl wasn't ungrateful, and she grew to like this kind and gentle older sister more and more, and their relationship quickly warmed up. Not only did she often accompany Wang Shujuan to her private plot to take care of the clivia, and help her with housework, the two even began to share their secrets and became best friends.

Liu Weidong was naturally happy to see this happen, after all, Huang Qian would be living at home for several years and would be part of the family. If the young woman and her sister got along well, it would save him a lot of trouble!

The only thing that displeased Liu Weidong about Huang Qian moving in was that he had far fewer opportunities to be intimate with her sister. First of all, the two of them definitely couldn't spend the night together anymore. After all, Huang Qian slept in the same room as Wang Shujuan, and it would be difficult to explain to the young girl if she didn't come home all night.

Even during the day, Huang Qian was always with Wang Shujuan, making Liu Weidong feel like a thief whenever he wanted to be intimate with her, afraid of being seen by the girl.

However, Huang Qian's arrival brought Wang Shujuan an unexpected benefit. She had already started attending night school, but because her previous academic foundation was too poor, she was finding it very difficult to learn.

The girl was a top student at a key high school in the city, and she was able to tutor Wang Shujuan in her academic subjects, which significantly improved her grades. This also made the two of them closer and closer, and they became best friends who could talk about anything.

Liu Weidong had no idea how close Wang Shujuan and Huang Qian's relationship was, let alone how much it would affect his future. During this time, he focused his main energy on monitoring the price of clivia.

As autumn approaches, the price of Clivia is rising, now exceeding 1,100 yuan! This price is much higher than Liu Weidong remembers, and he doesn't know if it's because his rebirth has affected the price trend.

With the price of Clivia plants breaking through 1,000 yuan, those involved in the speculation became even more frenzied. Everyone did their best to buy Clivia plants, with some even shouting that the price would break 10,000 yuan, all believing that the price of Clivia plants would continue to rise.

As market sentiment grew increasingly bullish, Liu Weidong became even more cautious. Since the price of his clivia had already reached his target level, he decided after careful consideration to sell it off promptly to avoid being stuck with it and suffering significant losses.

With this in mind, Liu Weidong went to the flower and bird market in the city. Just as he reached the street corner, he saw a large sign hanging ahead, with the words "Supplying Clivia" written in bold characters!

A large crowd had gathered under the sign, craning their necks to peer inside, their faces full of envy as they discussed the matter.

Liu Weidong squeezed into the crowd and saw several pots of clivia plants in front of him. Each clivia plant had a price tag inserted in its pot, and the price varied depending on the size of the plant.

The smallest one costs 800, the medium one costs 1200, and the largest one is even priced at 1500!
