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

"This is my home address." Liu Weidong said to Huang Zhigang seriously, "If, and I mean if, you ever run into any trouble in the future, and if you trust me, you can come to this address to find me, and I will try my best to help you."

Liu Weidong paused for a moment, then said to Huang Zhigang, "Of course, if you think I have ulterior motives, just throw this note away and pretend I never said these words."

Huang Zhigang quickly folded the note, carefully put it in his pocket, and said seriously to Liu Weidong, "I'm already over forty years old. Can't I tell the difference between good and bad words? Brother Liu, thank you!"

"No need for thanks. It's best if you don't use this note." Liu Weidong nodded to Huang Zhigang, then turned and left decisively.

Huang Zhigang stared at Liu Weidong's back for a long time before muttering to himself, "Could something really have happened? It seems... I really need to be more careful in the future!"

Liu Weidong left his address with Huang Zhigang because he couldn't bear to see such a happy family fall apart because of his arrest. Having lost his own parents, he knew all too well the impact such a situation would have on a child. As the saying goes, if you've been caught in the rain, you should leave an umbrella for someone else; he wanted to help if he could.

Of course, if Huang Zhigang didn't trust Liu Weidong and ultimately didn't seek his help, Liu Weidong wouldn't care too much. Everyone has their own destiny, and even a reborn person can't take care of everything perfectly.

Liu Weidong took two more buses before finally returning to the village, where he saw Hao Jianjun waiting for him at the village entrance, carrying large and small bags.

Liu Weidong quickly stepped forward and said, "Didn't I tell you to deliver the things to my house? Why are you waiting here like an idiot?"

Hao Jianjun said with a worried look, "Do you think I want to? There's no one at your home, so you can only wait here!"

Liu Weidong asked curiously, "Isn't my sister home? Where could she have gone?"

"How would I know?" Hao Jianjun handed everything to Liu Weidong: "Brother Weidong, everything's here. I'm going back now, see you later!"

Somewhat puzzled, Liu Weidong returned home with his bags and found that no one was home. It seemed that Wang Shujuan had gone out on business.

When Wangcai saw Liu Weidong, it immediately wagged its tail and came running up to him, seemingly taking him as its master. This made Liu Weidong decide to take it up the mountain to find truffles as soon as possible, to see if this guy really loved finding truffles as its former owner had said.

Just then, Wang Shujuan pushed the door open and came in. When she saw Liu Weidong, her face lit up with joy and she said, "Oh, Weidong, you're back!"

"What a coincidence, I just got home too." Liu Weidong smiled, glanced at Wang Shujuan and said, "Sister, where have you been? You're covered in mud."

Wang Shujuan said with a laugh, "Where else could I go? I'm starting work in the fields today. How could you forget about that?"

Liu Weidong then remembered that there was indeed such a thing; it had been broadcast over the loudspeaker at the village entrance a few days ago.

In fact, starting in the early 1980s, many villages successively implemented the household contract responsibility system, and everyone's lives became much more comfortable as a result.

However, in Hexi Village, Wang Deli still insisted on consolidating the land, having the villagers work in the fields, and distributing money to them according to their work points.

Wang Deli's excuse for not implementing the household contract responsibility system was that the village had too little land and too many people, and that no one could survive if it were implemented. But Liu Weidong knew very well that this guy just wanted to use this method to gain personal benefits.

After all, distributing money and grain according to work quotas meant that Wang Deli had absolute control over the village's finances. Knowing his nature, he was bound to embezzle a large sum of money.

However, Liu Weidong can now earn several hundred yuan a month, and he doesn't care about the few dozen yuan he can barely earn in a whole year.

Hearing that Wang Shujuan had actually gone to work in the fields, Liu Weidong frowned and said, "Sister, we don't need that little bit of money. Working in the fields is too hard. Why don't you not go?"

Wang Shujuan's eyes widened immediately. "How can we not work? Are we not going to eat?"

"We don't need to rely on those meager wages to make a living," Liu Weidong said cheerfully. "Besides, I'll earn money to support you in the future, so you won't have to work so hard!"

Although these words made Wang Shujuan feel a little sweet inside, she still gently shook her head and said, "How can someone so young not work? You still have to do the work, otherwise people will gossip about you."

Liu Weidong knew that Wang Shujuan was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Since she had said so, he smiled and said, "Alright, you decide for yourself. Just don't overwork yourself. Our family isn't short of money right now, and it's not worth ruining your health!"

Previously, Liu Weidong was the absolute ruler at home. He wouldn't allow Wang Shujuan to disobey his decisions in the slightest, otherwise he would beat or scold her.

This time, Liu Weidong was surprisingly easy to talk to, which made Wang Shujuan a little nervous. She thought he was just saying it out of anger.

Wang Shujuan quickly glanced at Liu Weidong and, finding that he didn't seem angry at all, tentatively asked, "You...you really agree?"

Seeing Wang Shujuan's cautious demeanor, Liu Weidong felt both heartache and guilt. How could he have been such a jerk before, scaring such a good girl like this!

Thinking of this, Liu Weidong quickly smiled and said, "Of course I agree, sister. From now on, whatever you want to do, just go for it. I will definitely support you!"

Feeling Liu Weidong's sincerity, Wang Shujuan was both surprised and touched. She smiled at him and said, "Weidong, you're so good to me!"

“That’s a must, we’re family.” Liu Weidong said earnestly to Wang Shujuan, “You were so good to me before, and I didn’t know how to be grateful. I was such a jerk. So from now on, I will work hard to give you a good life and make you happy forever!”

It was clear that Liu Weidong was speaking from the heart. At this moment, Wang Shujuan was extremely happy. With tears of happiness in her eyes, she nodded gently and said, "You...you've been so good to me. I'm so happy, really!"

"Haha, as long as you're happy, we should all be happy from now on!" Liu Weidong laughed heartily, and seeing that the atmosphere was just right, he opened his arms to hug Wang Shujuan.

Since Liu Weidong's rebirth, the relationship between the two has become increasingly harmonious, and physical contact has become quite common.

Wang Shujuan understood what Liu Weidong wanted to do, but she simply lowered her head shyly, her meaning obvious. Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Wang Shujuan immediately jumped back, her pretty face turning even redder like a ripe apple, and said to Liu Weidong in a trembling voice, "There...there are people outside!"

"Sigh, who is it? They really know how to pick their time!" Liu Weidong muttered as he opened the door, only to see Huang Tao, one of the village's educated youths, standing at the door.

"Hello, Weidong!" Huang Tao greeted Liu Weidong with a smile, then changed the subject, "Is your sister home? I need to talk to her!"
