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

In the past month or so, Liu Weidong sold a total of more than 3,200 catties of eggs and earned nearly 4,000 yuan!

The national grain coupons used to exchange for eggs were essentially free, so after deducting a very small amount of cost, the rest was all net profit.

Liu Weidong calculated that, including the wages paid to Hao Jianjun, the cost was only a little over three hundred yuan, and the net profit was a full three thousand five hundred yuan!

Liu Weidong had previously made a net profit of over two thousand yuan from selling melon seeds. After deducting several hundred yuan spent on buying a bicycle, new clothes, and other daily expenses, Liu Weidong now has a little over five thousand yuan in cash left!

In the early 1980s, when having 10,000 yuan was enough to make headlines in the newspapers, this was an absolute fortune. Even a regular worker in a state-owned factory would have to work for over ten years without eating or drinking to save that much money.

It has only been a little over three months since Liu Weidong's rebirth at the end of last year. To earn in such a short time what others take more than ten years to earn is nothing short of a miracle in this day and age.

Even Liu Weidong himself was very satisfied, smiling as he murmured to himself, "Now I'm practically a 50,000-yuan household. Liu Weidong, I need to keep working hard!"

However, Liu Weidong was already a billionaire in his previous life, and he was very clear that the meaning of life is not just about making money, but more importantly, how you use the money you earn.

For Liu Weidong now, using the money he earns to improve his and his sister's lives is undoubtedly the most meaningful thing.

So the next morning, after feeding Wangcai, Liu Weidong excitedly went out. He planned to go to the city to buy some things for himself and Wang Shujuan as a treat.

Liu Weidong unexpectedly ran into Hao Jianjun at the village entrance. Hao Jianjun had changed into a neat set of clothes and smiled shyly when he saw Liu Weidong.

Liu Weidong looked Hao Jianjun up and down and said, "You're dressed like that, are you planning to go on a blind date?"

"No, no, no!" Hao Jianjun quickly waved his hand and said, "I just want to go to the city for a stroll and buy some nice things."

Liu Weidong laughed and said, "You just got the money yesterday and you're already thinking of spending it today? You really can't save any money! I'm going to the city anyway, let's go together!"

After taking two buses and spending 37 cents on the fare, the two finally arrived in the city center.

In those days, rural people rarely went to the city. Going to the county town was considered a long trip, let alone going to the city center to stroll around. So Hao Jianjun looked around with envy at the bustling street scene, feeling like he couldn't take it all in.

"Tsk tsk, the city is indeed much better than the county town!" Hao Jianjun exclaimed to Liu Weidong while looking around. "These buildings are really tall, and there are more people on the streets than in the county town. The girls are dressed so fashionably, and they are all so beautiful!"

In Liu Weidong's eyes, who possessed memories of the future, the city center now appeared quite dilapidated. As for the fashionable girls Hao Jianjun mentioned, it was really just that the styles and colors of their clothes had changed slightly. If this kid saw girls from decades later parading around in miniskirts and tank tops that exposed their thighs, wouldn't his eyes pop out of his head?

So, in response to Hao Jianjun's exclamation, Liu Weidong simply frowned and said, "Look at you, so naive! This is nothing. It will get even better in the future. Take this high-rise, for example. Twelve floors are nothing. Twenty or thirty floors won't be a problem in the future!"

Hao Jianjun looked up at the building next to him, his face full of disbelief, and said, "Brother Weidong, I'm not very educated, don't lie to me. Will there really be buildings that are twenty or thirty stories high in the future? Climbing the stairs to the top floor will be so tiring!"

"Are you stupid? High-rise buildings all have elevators, okay? There's no need to climb stairs!" Liu Weidong scoffed. "Besides, you think those girls are fashionable now? In a few years, when they wear short skirts that show their thighs, you won't even be able to go out on the street, will you?"

"Showing...showing your thighs? How could this happen? Aren't you ashamed?" Hao Jianjun immediately asked three questions in a row, feeling like his brain was about to explode. He quickly lit a cigarette to calm himself down.

"You should smoke less, this stuff is bad for your health!" Liu Weidong frowned and reminded his childhood friend, then his gaze fell on the Western restaurant across the street.

Besides buying nice things for himself and his sister, Liu Weidong had another purpose in coming to the city today: to see the Western restaurant he remembered with his own eyes.

After all, this happened decades ago, and Liu Weidong wasn't sure if he remembered it correctly. He decided to come and see for himself to put his mind at ease.

Fortunately, the Western restaurant was indeed in the same old place, only a bit older than Liu Weidong remembered, but business was quite good. Even before lunchtime, well-dressed customers were already coming in to eat.

Liu Weidong made a point of observation and noticed that the majority of the diners were foreigners, with only a very few Chinese, which matched his memory. In the early 1980s, Western food was still a very high-end thing, and ordinary people had no chance to experience it. This restaurant primarily catered to foreigners.

This is actually good news for Liu Weidong, as foreigners definitely prefer truffles these days. The more foreign customers his Western restaurant has, the better his truffle business will be in the future.

Hao Jianjun looked at the Western restaurant and whispered, "Brother Weidong, look! There are so many foreigners! Why is their hair so yellow? They look like ghosts! Look at that foreign woman, her neckline is so low, tsk tsk... She's shameless!"

"You've already read this, and you're still spouting so much nonsense!" Liu Weidong glanced at Hao Jianjun with annoyance and said, "I'm going to the department store to buy something, do you want to come?"

"Of course we'll go! Money is money, so we have to spend it!" Hao Jianjun was quite open-minded and soon went to the department store with Liu Weidong to buy things.

Actually, these days department stores don't have many products to choose from. Liu Weidong bought some daily necessities and snacks, and then he saw the cream cake he had been longing for. He immediately remembered the scene of his sister licking cream off her fingers, and bought one without hesitation.

Besides these, Liu Weidong also planned to buy his sister some new clothes. When he arrived at the clothing department, he was surprised to find that they were already selling jeans, and even skinny jeans!

Liu Weidong immediately thought of Wang Shujuan, thinking that she would look stunning in them, given her tall and slender figure. Although these imported jeans weren't cheap, costing over two hundred yuan a pair, he still bought a pair for his sister without hesitation.

Of course, Liu Weidong didn't skimp on himself; he bought himself a new set of clothes. This trip to the city cost him four or five hundred yuan, equivalent to a year's salary for an average person!

In contrast, Hao Jianjun was much more frugal. He wandered around the mall for a while and finally only bought two cartons of Daqianmen cigarettes. Although he only spent less than ten yuan, he still looked pained.

Liu Weidong was about to make a sarcastic remark when Hao Jianjun suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no!"
