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

"Teacher, today my senior sister and I went to a state-run store to discuss business. On our way back, we ran into my brother-in-law..." Knowing that he couldn't hide this from Wei Guohui, Liu Weidong simply told him everything.

After recounting what had happened, Liu Weidong said in a deep voice, "I noticed that my senior sister wasn't in a good mood, so I brought her here."

Hearing that her daughter had suffered such a great injustice, Yang Jianying was heartbroken and quickly said to her husband, "Guohui, you have to do something about this. Wanqing is our only daughter, and we can't let her be bullied like this!"

Liu Weidong nodded and said, "Master's wife is right. I think that kid is deliberately picking a fight. We need to find a way to teach him a lesson so that he won't dare to bully Senior Sister again!"

Wei Guohui frowned, lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. After a while, he said to Liu Weidong, "Weidong, to be honest, I did get a job transfer. Do you know where I'm going?"

Liu Weidong knew this was a difficult question to answer; the slightest mistake would make Wei Guohui think he wasn't being sincere. After his mind raced for a few moments, he replied, "I don't know exactly where you're being transferred, but it's definitely a higher rank than the principal!"

Wei Guohui raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do you know?"

Liu Weidong said, "I heard from the state-run restaurant that Wu Mingpeng has been dismissed from his public office, and Wu Fei is even going to jail. If you were just the principal, they probably wouldn't have received such severe punishment. Am I right?"

Satisfied with Liu Weidong's frankness, Wei Guohui nodded slightly and said, "You're right, I've actually been transferred to the county to serve as the secretary!"

Liu Weidong perfectly timed his expression of surprise and delight, beaming as he said, "Ha, teacher, you've finally made it! Congratulations!"

"There's nothing to congratulate you on. Whether it's teaching or this job, it's all about serving the people. But now the burden is heavier." Wei Guohui himself remained calm and said to Liu Weidong seriously, "The reason I didn't tell you right away is because my every move now has a great impact on others, and I don't want you to lose your motivation to work hard because of it."

Fearing that Liu Weidong might overthink things, Wei Guohui specifically told him, "I said the same thing to Wanqing: when you go out to do business, you have to rely on your own abilities. You absolutely cannot use my name to get special treatment!"

Recalling Wei Wanqing's experience at the state-run store, Liu Weidong knew that Wei Guohui wasn't lying. He nodded sincerely and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will make a fortune through my own efforts and I will definitely not let you down."

Seeing Wei Guohui smile with satisfaction, Liu Weidong quickly added, "However, if I do things properly and someone still makes things difficult for me, I will still come to you to complain!"

"Haha, of course!" Amused by Liu Weidong's words, Wei Guohui laughed and said, "As long as you abide by the law, if someone deliberately makes things difficult for you, just tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"

In fact, Liu Weidong had thought the same thing, and now that he had received Wei Guohui's personal promise, all his previous efforts had not been in vain.

However, Wei Guohui quickly put away his smile, frowned and said, "The relationship between Wanqing and her husband is, after all, their own business. Given my current position, it's even more inconvenient for me to interfere, so... sigh!"

Liu Weidong understood Wei Guohui's meaning and immediately sneered, "If it's inconvenient for you to handle this, then let me do it. My senior sister and I are business partners now. If anyone makes her unhappy, it will affect my ability to make money. I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!"

Wei Guohui whispered to Liu Weidong, "Don't get yourself into trouble trying to help her get revenge, or I'll feel really bad!"

Liu Weidong quickly said he would be careful and then prepared to go home.

Although Wei Guohui wanted Liu Weidong to stay for dinner, considering what had just happened, he felt it would be awkward to eat with Wei Wanqing again, so he insisted on saying goodbye and leaving.

The two did not contact each other for the next few days. After all, in an era when there wasn't even a landline in the village, it was almost impossible to stay in touch at any time.

Liu Weidong was also busy with his business, and went to Gonggeng Village twice more to exchange eggs.

Ma Yongxian has now become an egg wholesaler for several surrounding villages, procuring more and more eggs and bringing considerable benefits to his fellow villagers.

These two exchanges yielded over 800 jin of eggs, leaving Liu Weidong with very few national grain coupons left. Considering that national grain coupons are still quite useful, he plans to keep the last few hundred jin for unforeseen circumstances.

So Liu Weidong told Ma Yongxian that the work of exchanging grain coupons for eggs had come to an end.

This left Ma Yongxian feeling somewhat disappointed, but he still held Liu Weidong's hand tightly and said, "Comrade Liu, thank you for taking care of me during this time. If there are any more good things like this in the future, please don't forget about our Gonggeng Village!"

Liu Weidong smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief Ma, we'll have plenty of opportunities to interact in the future. I won't forget everyone!"

Gonggeng Village is the most famous sunflower seed producing area in the surrounding area, and Liu Weidong is currently partnering with Wei Wanqing in the melon seed business, so there will definitely be many more opportunities to do business together in the future.

Half of the more than 800 jin of eggs were sent to state-run restaurants, while the rest were all sold to stores by Liu Weidong. When he and Hao Jianjun delivered the eggs to the state-run store, they saw a huge new signboard at the store entrance.

The design on the signboard is exactly the same as the sunflower seed trademark hand-drawn by Liu Weidong, only much larger. Below it are several eye-catching artistic characters: Shanghai-style fragrant sunflower seeds, available for sale starting today.

Meanwhile, at the counter with the best location in the store, bags of sunflower seeds had already been placed and were officially on sale.

Lured by the bonus, the two saleswomen worked incredibly hard. They not only placed the sunflower seeds in the most prominent position on the counter but also diligently introduced them to customers. In the short time Liu Weidong observed them, several bags had already been sold.

Seeing this, Liu Weidong nodded secretly. Wei Wanqing truly lived up to her reputation as a future business tycoon; she had a knack for doing business.

In just a few days, not only did they get the sunflower seeds into stores, but they also didn't forget to promote them. The sales of these sunflower seeds are sure to be good.

Wei Wanqing completed all these tasks entirely on her own, without even consulting Liu Weidong beforehand. This can be considered a partial achievement of her earlier goal of doing a better job than him.

Seeing the two saleswomen working busily, Liu Weidong didn't disturb them. After receiving the money from selling the eggs, he left with Hao Jianjun.

Liu Weidong hadn't gone far when he unexpectedly ran into Zhao Zheng, a police officer from the local police station.
