Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Liu Bei recalled the 1990s in his previous life, when there were two things that made the most money at the food stalls in the city.

It's the same crayfish, and the same thing is this.

"Dad, they're fighting so fiercely!" Niannian tugged at his trouser leg.

"Hmm. That's pretty impressive. Niannian, keep watching! Daddy has something to do."

After saying that, he turned and ran towards the storage room.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"

Soon Liu Bei started rummaging through the storage room.

A short while later, Liu Bei came out carrying a small bamboo pole.

A net bag was tied to the end of the bamboo pole, and a snakeskin bag was held in the other hand.

Lin Wanqiu had just picked up the kitchen knife when she saw this scene and was somewhat puzzled.

"What are you doing...?"

"I'm going to the field to catch grasshoppers."

"Catch grasshoppers? What would you do with those things?"

"You'll find out when I get back. You can continue cooking, but remember to cook an extra pot of rice; we're adding extra dishes tonight."

After saying that, Liu Bei picked up a bamboo pole and ran out of the courtyard gate.

"Add dishes? What dishes?" Lin Wanqiu was completely confused.

"Mom! Where is Dad going?" Panpan came over.

"I don't know!" Lin Wanqiu shook her head. "I just felt that your dad was acting a little strange today."

"Squeak!"

Just then, Zhao Chunyan opened her door and looked at Liu Panpan.

"Panpan, take good care of your younger brother and sister."

"Where are you going, Third Sister?"

"I'm going to see what kind of trouble your lunatic dad is up to this time. He was putting on a show by grabbing the receipts one minute, and then he ran out with a net the next. I want to see what kind of mischief he's planning this time."

After saying that, Zhao Chunyan quickly chased after him.

Liu Panpan: "..."

He stood there, constantly scratching the back of his head.

Watching the two disappear one after the other, Zhao Da'e clicked her tongue and said, "That little hussy, she complains like a madwoman, but her legs are faster than anyone else's."

"..."

Su Yuehe lowered her head and pursed her lips, without saying a word.

Lin Wanqiu paused for a moment, then looked away and continued chopping vegetables.

……

On this side,

Liu Bei stepped into the waist-deep weeds, and suddenly his vision was filled with countless red dots.

"Wow, so many grasshoppers! We're going to strike it rich!"

Liu Bei swallowed hard and raised the net to close it.

"Liu Bei! You stop right there!"

Just then, a thunderclap suddenly sounded behind them.

Liu Bei frowned and glanced back.

Zhao Chunyan ran over, her face flushed and her hair stuck to her forehead.

Sweat soaked a large area of ​​the light-colored jacket, clinging tightly to her waist and back, outlining her figure, revealing a mound of chest, a pinched waist, and a sway of hips.

For a moment, Liu Bei was so stunned that he couldn't move his eyes.

"Bang!"

After realizing something was wrong, Zhao Chunyan followed Liu Bei's gaze and discovered that Liu Bei's eyes were staring at her chest. She was so angry that she gave Liu Bei a hard flick on the forehead.

"Staring at people with your eyes wide open in broad daylight, shameless!" Zhao Chunyan said, hands on her hips. "All you ever think about are those wicked ideas. You deserve a beating!"

Liu Bei covered his forehead and coughed twice: "I didn't."

"Are you still being stubborn?"

"No, Chunyan, you must have misread it!"

"Pah!" Zhao Chunyan rolled her eyes. "Don't try to play dumb with me! I'm not blind! Tell me honestly, what are you doing in this run-down slum? You're not secretly meeting with some other woman, are you? Where are they?"

After she finished speaking, Zhao Chunyan's eyes darted around, searching for something.

Liu Bei: "..."

He shook his head, somewhat speechless, and waved the net in his hand: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm here to catch grasshoppers."

"Catching grasshoppers?"

Zhao Chunyan paused for half a second, then said, "Liu Bei, are you crazy? Grasshoppers are a pest that ruins crops. Why are you catching those things? To give to the three kids as toys? Two are enough if you want to play with them. Why are you making such a big fuss?"

"Eat it. Fry it in oil, sprinkle some salt, and it'll be even more fragrant than meat."

"eat?"

"Don't you remember the famine of the 1960s? Back then, when there was nothing to eat, didn't we all eat this?"

"..."

Zhao Chunyan opened her mouth, but then closed it.

Of course she remembered those years of famine.

Her mother used to catch grasshoppers for her to eat.

I remember they used to roast them in an earthenware pot. The grasshoppers were crispy and fragrant after roasting. Back then, I could swallow half a bowl of thin porridge with just one grasshopper.

Thinking about it now, it really brings back fond memories!

"Gulp~"

As she thought about it, Zhao Chunyan's mouth watered.

"Okay," she said, wiping her mouth. "I'll help you catch it."

Liu Bei glanced at her sideways and said, "You didn't come all this way just to be alone with me, did you?"

"Pah!" Zhao Chunyan blushed. "Who wants to be alone with you! I'm just afraid you'll cause trouble again!"

"oh."

"Oh what?!"

Liu Bei ignored her and walked deeper into the grass with his net. Guided by the red dots in his vision, he deliberately chose the places with the densest concentration of insects to set his net.

"Whoosh~"

Liu Bei snapped the net in his hand shut, and when he lifted it up, it was full of little green and yellow things bouncing around.

"Wow!" Zhao Chunyan's eyes widened. "You're quite skilled! You catch them every time!"

Liu Bei smiled and ignored Zhao Chunyan. He opened the snakeskin bag, poured the grasshoppers from the net into it, and then tied the bag shut.

The two then moved forward one after the other.

A moment later, Zhao Chunyan also rolled up her sleeves and started working. When she bent over, the hem of her jacket lifted up a bit, revealing a section of her fair waist.

Upon catching a glimpse of this scene, Liu Bei's eyes darted around again.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, Zhao Chunyan grabbed his arm tightly.

"Don't move!"

Liu Bei was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

She pointed.

Looking over, Liu Bei saw a snake coiled up at the edge of the grass, flicking its tongue.

"There's a snake!"

"It's just a rat snake!" Liu Bei glanced at it, not taking it seriously. "It's not poisonous, why are you afraid of it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the garland snake sprang up with a "whoosh".

"Ah~"

Zhao Chunyan screamed and jumped up, wrapping her arms tightly around Liu Bei's neck and burying her face in his strong chest.

"Thump~"

Liu Bei was forced back half a step by her tackle before regaining his balance.

Suddenly, he felt something strange in his arms.

Looking down, he saw that Zhao Chunyan was pressed tightly against him, as if two pieces of paper were stuck together and inseparable.

"This scene—"

Liu Bei stood frozen in place. "Why does it feel like a sloth hugging a tree?"

For a moment, he thought of his other two ex-wives.

Lin Wanqiu's figure was supple, like a wisp of smoke.

Su Yuehe's body was soft, like a ball of water.

Zhao Chunyan's figure is explosive, with a restless energy, just as fiery as her mouth.

No wonder he had a boy with his first child.

As he was thinking, Liu Bei's hand inexplicably... slapped something.

"Smack."

Zhao Chunyan felt as if she had been electrocuted.

She immediately raised her head.

Her eyes were filled with shock, anger, and burning desire. Her lips moved slightly: "What are you doing taking pictures in broad daylight? Fine, you can take pictures, but where are you taking them? You're shameless."

"..."

Liu Bei was embarrassed and quickly withdrew his hand.

But before he could shrink halfway, Zhao Chunyan grabbed his wrist again.

What are you doing?

Zhao Chunyan pressed her nose against Liu Bei's nose and said tenderly,

"I've heard that you men all like the outdoors, is that true?"

"..."

"Liu Bei, were you thinking that way just now?"

"..."

"Bang!"

Just then, Zhao Chunyan suddenly pressed down hard, and Liu Bei, caught off guard, lost his balance and fell into the waist-high grass. Zhao Chunyan then pressed down on him.

"Zhao Chunyan... what exactly do you want?"

Zhao Chunyan's lips curled upwards.

What do you think?

Liu Bei's throat moved.

That crazy woman...

They're not really planning to do anything in this wilderness, are they?
