Back to 1993: The family splits up at the start, and the ingrates regret it so much they cry.

After 2 p.m., fewer people were buying food, and Wang Peng finally had time to rest.

He moved a small stool and sat down to check the tally marks on his cousin's ledger.

My eyes widened in disbelief. They had sold a hundred servings of fried rice and made a profit of sixty yuan.

Wang Peng was very happy and decided to celebrate that night, but for a moment he couldn't think of how to celebrate.

The rice was sold out, so Li Fang started packing up her stall and cleaning up the lunchboxes that customers had discarded.

Li Mengjiao sat down next to Wang Peng. "This is your business. Do you want to run a business while going to school?"

"Smart!" Wang Peng praised her.

Li Mengjiao shook her head, "People have limited energy and time. Doing business will definitely interfere with your studies."

She looked serious and clenched her little fist. "I want to defeat you when you're focused on studying, not like this."

"Oh dear," Wang Peng laughed, "we're not sworn enemies, so why do you always want to beat me?"

“Because I can only be number one.” Li Mengjiao said confidently, “From childhood to adulthood, I have always been number one, except for the high school entrance exam where you surpassed me.”

“You’re wrong.” Wang Peng also became serious. “Your opponent is the university admission score line, not me, Wang Peng. Mengjiao, don’t let the empty title of first place drag you down.”

Li Mengjiao was stunned, not expecting Wang Peng to say such a thing.

From a distance, Wang Cheng watched the two chatting idly, and his jealousy flared up again.

Just then, a black sedan pulled up to the side of the road.

The car window slowly rolled down, and the middle-aged driver removed his tinted glasses. "Mengjiao, Xiaojing, let's go home."

Li Mengjiao: "Dad."

"Uncle, you've come to pick us up?" Chen Xiaojing smiled as she opened the car door and got in.

Li Mengjiao hurriedly stood up, instinctively moved away from Wang Peng, and immediately bent down and got into the car.

Her father stared at Wang Peng with a half-smile on his face, considering whether to dig a pit and bury him tonight.

Wang Peng nodded to him, then his view was blocked by the car window as the car drove away.

A 1993 Santana cost approximately 200,000 yuan.

It turns out that Li Mengjiao is a rich heiress.

Meanwhile, Wang Cheng stared in the direction the Santana had left, and suddenly had a thought: "If I marry Li Mengjiao, I'll be set for life."

After cleaning up the lunchboxes on the ground, Du Lei refused the five yuan reward and went straight back to his dormitory to rest.

When the siblings returned home, Wang Peng carried the money box into the main room to tally up the day's earnings.

Five cents, one dollar, two dollars—these were all small change, along with some coins. The siblings sorted them out according to their denominations.

"Exactly one hundred yuan, great business!" Wang Peng waved the money in his hand.

Li Fang grabbed Wang Peng's arm and bounced around on the spot, like bouncing a ball.

"Long live Peng! You're amazing!"

“My friend Xiuxiu worked at a hotel in the provincial capital for two years, earning only 200 yuan a month.”

"You can earn sixty in a day, and in four days you can earn her a month's salary!"

Her eyes were filled with little stars of admiration.

"Don't get excited yet, this is just the beginning," Wang Peng laughed.

“At this rate, you’ll be able to buy this courtyard in two years at most,” Li Fang said, pointing to the courtyard.

"Thank you for your kind words," Wang Peng said. "Let's go to the public bathhouse and take a bath."

"Why waste that money?" Li Fang shook her head directly. "I'll boil water and wash up tonight."

"Listen to me, today is auspicious for the opening, we should celebrate." Wang Peng started packing up the bath supplies.

Li Fang couldn't dissuade him, so she could only let him be.

The siblings went out with their schoolbags on their backs and happened to pass by the Third People's Department Store.

Wang Peng went inside and came to the household goods counter. He immediately took a liking to the large bottles of Bee & Flower brand shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel.

He stared at it with a smile, and the DNA began to move.

The village party secretary's family had a television set. When he was in the third year of junior high school, he would always go there to watch TV and his favorite show was the 1986 version of Journey to the West broadcast on CCTV.

Before the Journey to the West begins, there is a ten-second advertisement for Bee & Flower bath products.

The advertising actress was a beautiful woman, and at first, Wang Peng was too embarrassed to look at her.

Owning my own Bee & Flower bath set was also a dream I had in my childhood.

"Comrade, could you please get me one bottle each of Bee & Flower shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel?" he said.

The saleswoman was taken aback. "Young man, it's ten yuan a bottle, three bottles for thirty yuan. Are you sure you want it?"

“Confirmed.” Wang Peng immediately took out the money.

Having been reborn, of course I want to fulfill all my dreams from my past life!

It would be too frustrating if I couldn't improve my standard of living.

"Pengdi, are you crazy!" Li Fang hurriedly grabbed his hand. "Two yuan will buy a bar of soap, which can be used for washing your hair and taking a bath."

She was heartbroken; thirty yuan could buy ten kilograms of eggs.

"No compromise." Wang Peng placed the thirty yuan directly on the counter.

I've been reborn, and you're telling me to just make do?

“Sister Fang, you’ve been my nanny and my worker these days. Why don’t I spend thirty yuan to let you enjoy the Bee & Flower three-piece set?” he said.

Li Fang's nose tingled, and she lowered her head, muttering to herself, "It's too expensive. I don't deserve to use such good things."

"If I say you're worthy, then you are." Wang Peng exuded confidence.

Li Fang felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry, but she forced herself to hold back her tears.

The siblings arrived at the bathhouse, only to find that the large pool was closed, and a private room cost two yuan for two hours.

Wang Peng booked a private room. His cousin went in to shower first, while he waited outside.

In less than an hour, Li Fang came out, her body and hair exuding fragrance.

"Is the Bee & Flower three-piece set any good?" Wang Peng asked with a smile.

Li Fang tossed her flowing long hair. "Brother Peng, I can't believe I'll ever have access to such wonderful things in my life."

"Don't underestimate yourself, and don't underestimate me either." Wang Peng carried his schoolbag into the bathroom.

Hot water was already in the bathtub, and the three-piece bath set was placed next to it.

He stripped naked and lay in the bathtub, feeling comfortable from every pore.

I closed my eyes and cleared my mind, and soon I thought of the upcoming diagnostic test.

"The military training lasts for ten days. I need to study hard during these ten days to prepare for the placement test."

In my past life, the school would take into account the results of the placement test and form two elite classes.

Each class has fifty students, and the best teachers are assigned to them; in short, they are the students receiving intensive education.

In his previous life, Wang Cheng entered the top class and eventually succeeded in getting into university.

From the moment he started his watermelon business, Wang Peng diligently studied using Du Lei's junior high school textbooks.

The focus of the review should be on Chinese, foreign languages, history, politics and other humanities subjects; you can just memorize them.

For science subjects like math, physics, and chemistry, if you don't know it, you simply don't know it; rote memorization won't work.

Wang Peng opened his eyes, stood up from the bathtub, and applied shower gel to his body.

The milky fragrance and the smooth feel of the shower gel reminded me of Li Mengjiao and Chen Xiaojing.

"During the ten days of military training, I'll ask them for help with math, physics, and chemistry. I must get into the top 100 and stay in the honors class."

"After being away from my studies for decades, I'm reborn. I dare not even dream of being number one."

Wang Peng washed his face with shower gel, then shampooed his hair. After applying conditioner, he felt much more relaxed.

He dried his hair, changed his clothes, and left the bathroom.

"Wow!" Li Fang stared at Wang Peng and laughed, "Brother Peng, you seem much more energetic."

"Of course," Wang Peng smiled slightly. "Spending money on yourself is really worth it."

"Pengdi, school officially starts tomorrow, you must do your best!" Li Fang gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Peng scratched his head. "I'll definitely keep going, but before I do, I want to teach Wang Cheng a lesson first."
