Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

More than an hour later, the movie ended, and Liu Bei and his friends walked out of the cinema.

"Late Autumn, Spring Swallows, Moonlit Lotus, was the movie good?"

"It's beautiful! Quite touching!" Lin Wanqiu nodded.

"Yes. I've cried so many times! I want to see it again next time, is that okay?" Su Yuehe looked at Liu Bei with pleading eyes.

"Okay. If you like watching, you can come every day!" Liu Bei agreed.

"Really? That's great! Sister Wanqiu, let's come again next time!" Hearing that Liu Bei didn't object, Su Yuehe was as happy as an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Chunyan, why aren't you saying anything?" Lin Wanqiu asked, puzzled after noticing Zhao Chunyan's continued silence.

"What... what am I supposed to say?" Zhao Chunyan was still savoring the romantic moments in the movie theater and hadn't heard what Liu Bei and the others were saying at all, so she didn't understand for a moment.

"Liu Bei asked you if the movie was good?" Lin Wanqiu reminded him, frowning.

"Oh, the movie? It's...it's good. Of course it's good. Liu Bei, don't you think so?" As she spoke, Zhao Chunyan turned to Liu Bei for an answer.

"Hmm?" Lin Wanqiu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "I'm asking you, why are you asking Liu Bei? Is there something between you two that you're hiding from me and Yuehe?"

Liu Bei: "..."

A woman's intuition is really accurate.

That was spot on!

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

Oh no, I've overdone it, made a mess of things, and now I've been exposed.

The two of them paused, then waved their hands in unison, speaking almost simultaneously, "No...nothing like that!"

"Well?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Lin Wanqiu felt that there was a big problem between the two of them.

His eyes swept over the two of them for ten seconds before he said, "This is a movie theater. I doubt either of you would dare to cause trouble in public. Yuehe, let's go home!"

"Okay!" Su Yuehe nodded and followed Lin Wanqiu toward the pedicab.

"Phew~"

Liu Bei and Zhao Chunyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close; I almost got caught.

Fortunately, Lin Wanqiu didn't think too deeply about it.

Otherwise, if Lin Wanqiu had thought about it for even a moment longer, their affair would have been exposed today.

It seems I'll have to be more careful in the future.

After exchanging a glance, Liu Bei spoke up, "Wanqiu, Yuehe, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"

As he spoke, Liu Bei chased after him.

Looking at Liu Bei's retreating figure,

Zhao Chunyan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "What a close call! But Lin Wanqiu, no matter how much she planned, she never expected that Liu Bei and I would be so bold in public! We actually did what we were supposed to do, and that feeling... hehe... it was truly unique... Lin Wanqiu, you'll never have that in your lifetime..."

Smiling, Zhao Chunyan chased after him, calling out, "Wait for me! Wait for me..."

A short while later, when Zhao Chunyan caught up,

Lin Wanqiu cut several pounds of pork ribs.

Zhao Chunyan asked, puzzled, "Wanqiu, why are you buying ribs instead of meat? Are you afraid Liu Bei will become a skinny guy?"

Liu Bei: "..."

After imagining the image of the skinny man, he got goosebumps all over his body.

"This is the task Mother gave me before I left. What? Zhao Chunyan, are you not even listening to your mother anymore?" Lin Wanqiu did not respond directly, but instead used her mother-in-law's name to put pressure on Zhao Chunyan.

really,

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunyan rolled her eyes and remained silent.

"Get on, let's go home!" Seeing that Zhao Chunyan had nothing to say, Lin Wanqiu felt a surge of joy and happily got on the back of the pedicab carrying several pounds of ribs.

"Yuehe, what are you waiting for? Get in the car!"

Seeing Su Yuehe in a daze, Lin Wanqiu called out.

"Oh, okay, sure!"

After regaining her senses, Su Yuehe immediately got into the car.

"Liu Bei, let's go home!" Lin Wanqiu instructed again.

"Okay!" Nodding, Liu Bei pedaled the tricycle, carrying Lin Wanqiu and Su Yuehe back to Fanjiacun.

Looking at the three people's backs,

Zhao Chunyan was so angry that she stomped her feet.

"You, Lin Wanqiu, how dare you use your mother-in-law's name to intimidate me? You've got some nerve. But so what? Today, I'm the biggest winner! If you knew what Liu Bei and I did in the movie theater... hehe... you'd be furious. But I'm in a good mood today, so I won't let you know. Hehe..."

Zhao Chunyan felt happy whenever she thought of the wonderful time she spent in the movie theater.

He plopped down on the bicycle, pedaling and humming a little tune as he caught up with Liu Bei and the others...

Several tens of minutes later, in Fanjiacun, at the Liu family's house.

As soon as I entered the door, the three children ran over.

Liu Nian was the first to rush into Liu Bei's arms.

"Dad, Dad, guess what we did while you were away from home?"

"I can't guess! Just tell me, Niannian!"

"You couldn't even guess that? Dad's so stupid!" Liu Nian tapped Liu Bei's forehead a few times, then looked at his younger brother Xiao Bao beside him. "Xiao Bao, you tell Dad!"

"Grasshopper! Catch...catch grasshopper!" Liu Bao responded in a childish voice.

"Oh, you guys went catching grasshoppers?" Liu Bei smiled. "How many did you catch?"

"So many!" Liu Nian gestured.

"How many baskets are there?" Liu Bei asked again.

"A lot is a lot!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Panpan shook her head and said, "Dad, he caught ten baskets!"

"Oh? So many? Come on, take me to see them!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes lit up. He took Liu Nian's hand with one hand and Xiao Bao's hand with the other, and had Panpan lead the way.

Soon, the father and his four sons arrived at the storage room.

really,

Ten large bamboo baskets were neatly arranged on the ground, filled with countless grasshoppers.

"They're all full?" Zhao Chunyan came over at this moment, checked and was surprised to find that all ten blue boxes were full.

"Hmm. Third Aunt, aren't we amazing?" Liu Nian looked up at Zhao Chunyan with her little head raised.

"Wow. Amazing. Absolutely amazing!" Zhao Chunyan pinched Liu Nian's round face.

Not to mention,

After recent care, the little girl's face has become fuller.

"But our cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative has already ended. Why catch so many grasshoppers..."

Lin Wanqiu, standing to the side, frowned, her face full of worry.

"Yes, there are too many. Even if we take them to the market, will we be able to sell them all?" Su Yuehe was also very worried.

"That's true!" After hearing the two women's murmurs, Zhao Chunyan raised her eyebrows tightly.

"What?" Before the words were even finished, her mother, Zhao Da'e, walked in from outside. "Wanqiu, what did you just say? The cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative has ended? What does that mean?"

"It means that starting tomorrow, the supply and marketing cooperative will no longer want our grasshoppers! We won't be able to sell them!" Lin Wanqiu explained.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Da'e swayed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Liu Bei reacted quickly and caught her in time.

"Xiao Bei, is what Wan Qiu said true?" Zhao Da'e asked anxiously.

"Yes!" Liu Bei nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

"What? You...you really don't want them anymore? Then...then all those grasshoppers we caught today were for nothing?"
