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

Li Yinchang, wearing handcuffs, was escorted by a police officer down the corridor when he happened to see Liu Weidong, who was preparing to go home.

Like a madman, the young man broke free from the police officer's control and charged at Liu Weidong, yelling, "Liu Weidong, you little bastard..."

"Stop!" the policeman shouted, but it was too late. Li Yinchang had already rushed in front of Liu Weidong and was about to attack.

Liu Weidong stared blankly at Li Yinchang as he rushed over, then kicked him to the ground.

The kick was accurate and powerful, almost knocking Li Yinchang unconscious, leaving him unable to stand up.

At this moment, the policeman arrived, grabbed Li Yinchang, and shouted, "You brat, you're still not behaving yourself now that you're at the station!"

Hearing the commotion, Hu Weilin ran out and shouted, "What's going on?"

The police officer immediately reported to Hu Weilin: "Chief Hu, this kid is still not behaving himself, he's trying to attack Comrade Liu!"

Hu Weilin immediately glared at Li Yinchang. If a witness was beaten by a criminal in the police station, how could he, as the station chief, explain it to his superiors? This kid is too outrageous; he'll have to teach him a lesson later!

Liu Weidong said calmly to Hu Weilin, "Chief Hu, although I'm fine, Li Yinchang is still not behaving himself at the police station. We can't be too lenient with such stubborn criminals!"

Hu Weilin understood Liu Weidong's meaning and immediately assured him, "Comrade Liu, don't worry, I will record this matter and will definitely not let him off easily!"

By this time, Li Yinchang had gradually calmed down. Hearing their conversation, he flew into a rage and yelled at Liu Weidong, "Liu Weidong, tell these policemen to release me! If my sister finds out what you've done, see if she'll ever talk to you again!"

Seeing that this kid still hadn't grasped the situation, Liu Weidong secretly sneered. No wonder he'd ended up in such a sorry state! He couldn't be bothered with this fool at all, so he bid farewell to Hu Weilin and returned to the village.

As soon as Liu Weidong opened the gate to his home, he saw Wang Shujuan waiting for him in the yard, her eyes brimming with worry. Even though Liu Weidong had lived two lives, his heart warmed, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

With spring approaching, neither of them wore as many layers as before. This tight embrace pressed them close together, and Liu Weidong could feel Wang Shujuan's curvaceous figure—a feeling that was indescribably wonderful.

Wang Shujuan's delicate body trembled slightly, but she did not break free from Liu Weidong's embrace. She simply asked him with concern, "Weidong, are you alright?"

The girl was clearly quite frightened, but she was more concerned about Liu Weidong's safety, which moved him even more.

"I'm fine, don't worry, sis!" Liu Weidong comforted Wang Shujuan softly, then said gently, "You must have been terrified today, right?"

Wang Shujuan nodded subconsciously at first, but then, fearing that this would worry Liu Weidong, she quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay, I know it's safe at home, everything will be fine when you come back."

Wang Shujuan's unconditional trust made Liu Weidong both happy and worried. He would be traveling frequently in the future, and he needed to find a way to ensure his sister's safety.

However, in the early 1980s, there were no surveillance phones or anything like that. In rural areas, communication relied mainly on shouting, and security relied mainly on dogs. So the quickest solution was to find a big dog, which would at least have some deterrent effect on those with bad intentions.

Liu Weidong, who was secretly pondering these questions, didn't have time to let go and just kept holding Wang Shujuan in his arms.

As time went on, Wang Shujuan's pretty face grew increasingly red. Mustering her courage, she asked him softly, "Weidong, are you... are you hungry? I wasn't in the mood to cook just now, so... how about I make you a bowl of noodles?"

Liu Weidong then came to his senses and said to Wang Shujuan with a smile, "You're going to make me some noodles? That's great!"

"I'll go right now!" Wang Shujuan quickly agreed, carefully breaking free from Liu Weidong's embrace and hurrying to the kitchen.

Looking at Wang Shujuan's tall figure, Liu Weidong couldn't help but smile. In this era, many of the jokes from later generations are incomprehensible to most people, which sometimes makes him feel rather lonely.

However, when Wang Shujuan served him a bowl of hot, fragrant noodles with two poached eggs and vegetables, Liu Weidong suddenly felt that being reborn wasn't so bad after all.

After dinner, Liu Weidong asked Wang Shujuan to close the door, and then, with a smile, placed all the money he had earned that day on the table, saying, "Sister, look, this is what I earned today!"

Looking at the large pile of money on the table, Wang Shujuan exclaimed in surprise, "So much! It must be two or three hundred!"

In those days, a regular worker in a state-owned factory only earned forty or fifty yuan a month. Liu Weidong could earn half a year's salary in a single day. No wonder Wang Shujuan was so happy.

Actually, if Liu Weidong hadn't paid the villagers to deal with Ning Zhichao today, he would have brought back even more money.

However, Wang Shujuan knew that losing so much money would be painful, so Liu Weidong didn't mention it at all. He just smiled and said, "This is nothing. This year, I will definitely make our family a ten-thousand-yuan household. Just you wait and see, sister!"

Liu Weidong wasn't bragging; he'd already calculated it. Just by exchanging all his national grain coupons for eggs and selling them, he could earn over three thousand yuan. Add to that the money he made from roasting melon seeds before the Spring Festival, and he already had over five thousand yuan—already practically a ten-thousand-yuan household!

And this year has only just begun, but Liu Weidong has already figured out what he'll do to make money next, which will definitely earn more than frying melon seeds and selling eggs!

With the added bonuses from Wei Wanqing, Liu Weidong felt that earning 100,000 yuan a year wasn't a dream. He just didn't want Wang Shujuan to think he was bragging, so he deliberately understated the figure.

Even so, it still took Wang Shujuan by surprise. Her charming eyes widened, and she looked at Liu Weidong with admiration, saying, "Weidong, you're amazing!"

Being praised so adoringly by a gentle and beautiful girl, even Liu Weidong, with the soul of an old man, couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Liu Weidong smiled slightly and said earnestly to Wang Shujuan, "Sister, I will do my best to make sure you live a good life, more comfortable than people in the village... no, more comfortable than people in the city!"

Although she didn't know how Liu Weidong could do it, Wang Shujuan, who had blind faith in him, immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I believe in you!"

Looking at Wang Shujuan's pretty face so close to his, especially her rosy and luscious lips, Liu Weidong couldn't suppress his inner impulse and slowly moved closer to her.

Although Wang Shujuan had never had a similar experience before, her female intuition immediately told her what was going to happen next.

If it were any other man, Wang Shujuan would have definitely run away long ago. But since it was Liu Weidong doing this, she was as if she had been frozen in place, not even thinking of running away. She just shyly looked away, not daring to look at Liu Weidong who was getting closer and closer.

Since Wang Shujuan was already like this, Liu Weidong naturally guessed what she was thinking, so he confidently leaned in, his lips almost touching her delicate cheek.

However, at that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, instantly ruining the wonderful atmosphere.
