Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

Autumn of 1981, Hongqi Production Team.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

The throbbing pain in his head made Shen Dong open his eyes.

As the image gradually cleared from blurry to clear, his thoughts also gradually became clearer from chaos.

Scattered light streamed down from above, between the wooden beams, illuminating the dust particles floating in the air.

The walls were made of grayish-brown mud, covered with newspapers, and a few spider webs could be seen in the corners.

Beneath me was a hard wooden bed covered with dry straw, which was a bit rough and prickly on my buttocks.

This is......

He quickly sat up, looked around, and then confirmed the fact that he had been reborn.

There were people whispering outside the room, but he couldn't hear them clearly. Shen Dong rubbed his forehead and got out of bed.

He put on the pants with two patches at the knees, and then put on a drab gray coat.

It was early autumn, and the temperature dropped considerably in the evening; he could feel a cold wind blowing in.

I put on my cloth shoes and took a look at myself in the mirror on the dresser.

Even in his youth, he still possessed such excellent natural features; his handsome face made the room seem even brighter.

Lifting the curtain, I saw my younger sister Shen Min and my aunt Tang Yue sitting and talking in the main room.

When they saw him come out, they were both stunned for a moment, and then immediately stood up.

"Brother, you're awake!" Shen Min greeted him with surprise, grabbing his arm and her voice was still hoarse with excitement.

"Dongzi, are you alright? Is your head still spinning?" Although his aunt didn't come closer, her face still showed concern and anxiety.

"Xiaomin..."

As soon as Shen Dong opened his mouth, he realized that his throat was extremely dry, and the words got stuck in his throat.

"Brother, don't say anything, I'll get you some water."

While his sister was pouring water, Shen Dong glanced into the main room.

The mottled wall was coated with a layer of lime powder, which had turned grayish-white.

An old-fashioned calendar hangs on the wall: October 26, 1981.

"So I've returned to when I was 17."

A portrait of my mother, Shen Fang, hangs next to the calendar. In the portrait, she is young and beautiful, with a serene and warm smile.

Shen Dong was somewhat dazed; it seemed like a long time had passed since he last saw his mother's portrait.

It seems that after separating from his sister, her portrait was taken away by his sister, and he didn't object...

"Brother, are you thirsty? Have some water."

Shen Dong forced a smile to hide the shame on his face.

I took it and gulped it down; my throat finally felt a bit better.

"You scared me to death today. You mustn't fight again next time."

Shen Min took the water glass and said worriedly.

"It's all Big Brother Mao's fault, he hit so hard! Who could withstand that brick?" The little girl turned around angrily.

"Don't stand there, sit down first," my aunt said.

Shen Dong nodded, walked to the square table, sat down, and processed what his sister had said.

It seems to be the conflict with Er Mao from that time.

His mother had only passed away two months prior, and Tao Ermao mocked him for being an orphan, so the two got into a fight. In the end, Tao Damao knocked himself down with a brick.

Thinking of the two brothers, Shen Dong felt a pang of regret.

Afterwards, because he wanted to get revenge, he was beaten several times. The worst time, they even poured feces on him when he was lying on the ground.

Their younger sister, Sanmei, was also influenced by her brothers and gathered two girls to bully her.

They would throw frogs and snakes into their clothes, stuff snow into their clothes in the dead of winter, and deliberately push them into the river.

As a result, the brother and sister became timid and cowardly, and dared not tell their family anything.

It wasn't until 90 years later, when the two left the village, that their lives gradually returned to normal.

However, the trauma of their childhood made them withdrawn and taciturn, and they never experienced happiness in life.

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything? You can't be thinking about revenge, those two brothers are too formidable!"

Shen Min thought her brother was planning revenge, so she quickly tried to dissuade him.

Shen Dong smiled gently, "Don't worry, I'm not thinking about that."

Retaliating with force is the dumbest thing to do, not to mention that they have a very influential uncle in their family, so it would be unwise to start another conflict now.

But since God has given him a second chance at life, Shen Dong can no longer live the same way he did in his previous life.

Let him run around for a couple of days first.

"Xiaodong, it's not that your aunt is criticizing you, but it's been two months since your mother passed away, how long are you going to keep loitering like this?!"

"If you don't work and don't do any jobs, you won't get any work points. So where will you get your money at the end of the year? You're an adult now, and Xiaomin still needs you."

His aunt's words brought Shen Dong back to reality.

Yes, my most important task right now is to support this family.

Although I didn't have any bad habits in my past life, I didn't take care of my family.

To support the family, the younger sister, Shen Min, dropped out of school not long after. After a few years, the savings left by their mother were all spent, and the two siblings had no choice but to go to the county town to work.

"Auntie, you're right. I was completely out of it before, but that brick this morning really woke me up."

Shen Dong joked with a grin, "People usually talk about enlightenment, but mine is more like being enlightened by a brick."

Tang Yue couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile, "You little rascal, you're such a joker."

Then, straightening his expression, he asked, "So, what are your plans? Which job in the team would you like to do?"

We are still under a collective system. Half of everyone's income is calculated based on work points, and the rest is supplemented by private plots.

Having been given a second chance at life, Shen Dong naturally had no intention of staying in the production team.

"By the way, Auntie, has your dairy factory completely shut down?"

"Why are you asking that? Work stopped at the beginning of the year, and they still owe me a lot of wages. I doubt they'll be able to resume operations!"

After Tang Yue finished speaking, she looked at Shen Dong opposite her with a puzzled expression. She saw that he had his brows furrowed and was deep in thought.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, he stood up. "Alright, I'll head back now since you're alright. I still need to cook for your uncle. You two don't need to cook, come over for dinner later."

"Okay, goodbye Auntie."

Shen Min obediently stood up and saw her out.

Seeing her aunt leave, and remembering that her brother seemed to haven't eaten for most of the day, she quickly asked, "Brother, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Shen Dong was searching for information in his mind. This was the cheat code he had after his rebirth—a super library containing all kinds of information.

He started making plans as soon as he saw his aunt.

The commune's dairy factory was established six years ago, but it gradually declined due to product issues and finally ceased operations completely this year.

The timing of Shen Dong's rebirth was awkward; in 81, it would have been absolutely impossible to contract or acquire the commune's dairy factory.

But after the release of Document No. 1 in 1982, the possibility increased significantly.

Although it was awkward, it gave him a few months to adjust.

Thinking of this, Shen Dong immediately went into the room and took out a bunch of small bills from a hidden compartment.

After taking stock: 116 yuan and 8 mao, this is all the family's savings.

This amount of money is definitely not enough. There are still more than two months left, so I need to hurry up and make money.

"Brother?" Shen Min asked uncertainly, looking at her brother who was behaving somewhat strangely.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm not hungry."

Shen Dong then remembered that Shen Min had been following him the whole time.

He then put the money back where it was.

I was so immersed in the joy and excitement of being reborn that I realized that a 14-year-old girl should be graceful and charming, but my younger sister had: dry yellow hair, dull skin, and slightly rough hands.

Shen Dong secretly blamed himself, which only strengthened his resolve to support his family.

He stood up, put his arm around his sister's shoulder, and patted her head: "Xiaomin, trust your brother, we will definitely have a good life."

After calming myself down, I released her shoulder and said, "I'm going out for a walk to get some fresh air. We'll go to my uncle's for dinner later."
