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

The commotion of Shen Changping and his family returning to the team naturally did not escape the attention of others.

The two brothers, Shen Weimin and Shen Changping, carried two large bags full of New Year's goods all the way to Shen Changping's place, where everyone saw them.

"Dad, how come Uncle Shen's family has suddenly become so rich? In previous years, they didn't have much meat during the Spring Festival, but this year, wow, two big bags full!" Aunt Pang sat on a stone stool, cracking sunflower seeds.

"I saw them! There seemed to be several military caps among them."

Her man sat to the side, a thoughtful expression on his face, and didn't respond.

The plump aunt patted his arm and continued, "I'm talking to you. Tell me, if their family ever runs into trouble, won't they regret being so high-profile now?"

The man looked puzzled and questioned, "Why would you regret it? It's their own money, what's there to regret!"

"Dongzi helped us, and we need to raise pigs after the New Year. He also promised to buy them. He's already taken such good care of us. How can you, a woman, talk badly about him behind his back?"

"You..." Aunt Pang's face flushed red, and she said angrily, "Even if he's helping, he can earn money himself. Do you really think he's doing this out of kindness!"

"It's their skill to make money. What we should do is learn from them, not be jealous." The man dusted himself off and continued, "You're all talk and no action. You women are useless no matter how many times you help."

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk to you."

"Hey, you... I can't even be bothered to talk to you!"

That night, not only Aunt Pang, but many of the older women in the Red Flag Production Team were wavering between envy and jealousy.

When Shen Dong got home, he immediately opened the bag and took out the items one by one, and everyone accepted them with smiles.

He opened the bag of fruit candies and gave one to each person. Liu Xiuying didn't want to eat yet, so Shen Hong opened the bag and put it in her hand. The old man smiled and his wrinkled face smoothed out. He said "good" repeatedly.

The sugar went into my mouth and sweetened my heart.

Things are looking up more and more promising.

Shen Dong left the things he wanted to give to Shen Die at home, and also separated the things he was going to give to Shen Lan the day after tomorrow.

After dinner, Shen Dong called out to Shen Min.

"Xiaomin, look, what's this!"

Shen Dong took out a pencil case from behind his back and waved it in front of Shen Min.

Shen Min burst into tears. She had looked at this for a long time today but couldn't bring herself to buy it. She never expected that her brother would remember it.

"Brother..." Shen Min's nose tingled, and her voice was trembling with tears.

Shen Dong laughed heartily: "Xiao Min is still crying. You can't shed tears over happy things! Look, there's more!"

As he spoke, he reached out his other hand from behind his back, holding an exquisite hair clip. Shen Dong had seen several girls buy it, so he bought one too.

Shen Min, holding a pencil case, saw the hair clip her brother had carefully bought and happily jumped into his arms.

Shen Dong stroked her hair, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

"Xiaomin, if you want to buy something in the future, go ahead and buy it. With your brother behind you, don't be afraid!"

"I promised you, our lives will only get better from now on!"

"Hmm~~" Shen Min replied listlessly.

Once she calmed down, Shen Dong clipped the hair clip into her hair.

"Looks like you have good taste, brother. This hair clip really suits you!"

Shen Min smiled happily and ran into her room to pick up a mirror and admire herself.

The next morning, Shen Dong told Li Shangen about showing a movie in the team, and then went to the next production team to see Shen Die.

Shen Dong specially bought malted milk powder, steamed egg cake, milk powder, and some clothes for his eldest sister, Shen Die, who is almost eight months pregnant.

The Hongxing production team was just across the river, a ten-minute walk away. As soon as I arrived at my brother-in-law Hong Sheng's house, I saw Shen Die sitting on a small stool, washing clothes on one side of the yard.

"Big sister, I've come to see you."

Shen Dong ran over happily, but when he saw Shen Die's hands soaking in the basin, they were red and cracked from the cold, and he felt a little sorry for her.

At this time, they could only use cold water to wash clothes at home, and usually they would wash them by the river. Since Shen Die's belly was big, Hong Sheng fetched water for her to wash at home.

"Sis, I brought you Vaseline. Apply it later."

Shen Dong helped Shen Die back into the house and took out the things he had brought.

"Dongzi, why did you bring so many? Do you have any more at home? Take these sponge cakes to Grandma. I have some here, and your brother-in-law bought some too."

"Yes, we have everything, don't worry!"

"Sis, you're due in two months, you really need to take care of yourself!"

Shen Die smiled and nodded, saying, "I know, but we're only 8 months along, we can still work. Other women worked in the fields before giving birth, they're not that delicate."

"No, you can't just stay here. If you don't like it, go home and stay for a while. You're already so far along in your pregnancy, you can't do heavy work! Your brother-in-law is really something, he shouldn't have made you do the laundry."

Shen Die watched Shen Dong chattering away quietly, a smile on her face.

As the eldest sister, I have always taken care of my younger siblings, and now I can feel their care for me.

This feels so good.

"Okay, you sit down first. I'll hang the clothes up to dry. It's sunny now, so they'll be dry by tonight."

"I'll help you!"

Shen Dong helped Shen Die out, and Shen Die hung up the clothes in the wash basin one by one while he helped her.

Just as he was about to pick up his clothes, his face suddenly darkened.

Besides ordinary clothes, there were surprisingly a few pieces of underwear and socks in the basin.

Shen Dong immediately recalled that in his previous life, when Shen Die and Hong Sheng had argued, Shen Die had mentioned washing her sister-in-law's underwear in the dead of winter. Combining this with the clothes in front of him, he immediately understood.

"Sis, whose clothes are these?!" Shen Dong pointed at the underwear in the basin, his tone turning cold.

Shen Die then noticed, a fleeting awkward expression crossing her face, her voice barely audible: "It...it's Hong Yan's. I was just doing laundry, so I helped her wash it."

Hong Yan is Hong Sheng's younger sister, and she is already sixteen years old this year!

"Heh, why didn't she just happen to be doing laundry and help you wash it?!" Shen Dong instantly flew into a rage, his voice rising eight octaves.

Seeing Shen Die's pale face and weary tone, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"She's sixteen years old, not a child anymore! And you're eight months pregnant! And yet, she's too lazy to even wash her own underwear and socks, expecting you, a pregnant woman, to wash them for her—how can she even bring herself to do that?!"

"Besides, doesn't Hong Yan know that once her reputation for being lazy and good-for-nothing gets out, who would dare to marry her?!"

"Besides, sister, don't you know that in our rural area, if a wife helps her sister-in-law wash her underwear, people will talk behind her back and say that she's weak and easy to bully?"

Shen Dong became angrier and angrier as he spoke. In his previous life, he was young and did not care about family matters. He only knew that most rural wives were like this, enduring whatever happened, and would only explode when they could no longer bear it.

He was furious; he couldn't let his older sister suffer the same injustice as she had in his previous life.

"What's all the noise about? Who's talking about me!" Just then, a series of dragging footsteps came from the main room.
