Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

"hiss!"

Liu Jia had a splitting headache.

"He's drunk!"

Before even opening his eyes, Liu Jia reached out and touched his forehead.

Sure enough, this wine shouldn't be mixed; it has a very strong aftereffect.

My chest felt like it was on fire, and swallowing my saliva felt like swallowing razor blades.

Uncomfortable!

In a daze, Liu Jia felt a bit self-deprecating.

It was just a business banquet, and I only had a few drinks. How did I get drunk?

Over the years, I've attended countless drinking parties, big and small, but this is the first time I've ever gotten this drunk.

From secretly drinking in his twenties to later exchanging toasts in the business world, Liu Jia has never lost.

It's not that no one can outdrink themselves.

Yes, it is.

But few!

Liu Jia felt dizzy and supported himself with one hand, trying to get out of bed to get a glass of water.

But before his other hand could even grip the bed frame, he touched something soft and bouncy.

The texture was like... meat!

Before they could react...

A sharp sound pierced the eardrums!

"Liu Jia, what are you doing? Get back to your bed!"

The blanket covering her was suddenly yanked off.

Liu Jia suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He opened his eyes instantly, a hint of annoyance in them.

But it hasn't manifested yet.

Liu Jia was stunned!

In front of me were yellowed newspapers on an adobe wall and a calendar torn in half.

One of the newspapers wasn't pasted on properly; a corner drooped down, and the dust on it was clearly visible.

The large iron nails used for setting the calendar were rusty.

The date is... July 6, 1979!

The smaller print below... June 13th, the year of Yiwei in the lunar calendar!

Liu Jia's pupils dilated, and his breathing became heavy!

This is the mud-brick house where I used to live!

An unbelievable thought flashed through my mind in an instant.

Is this... rebirth?

Have we gone back to 1979?!

Before he could recover, Liu Jia felt two hands pushing him from behind.

Suddenly pushed off the mud-brick kang (a heated brick bed), Liu Jia lost his balance and almost fell.

Immediately, a familiar face came into view.

With a high nose bridge, fair skin, and an oval face that exudes an aloofness that keeps people at arm's length.

Liu Jia would never forget those phoenix eyes beneath those willow-leaf eyebrows!

Guo Xiaoyan!

This woman changed the course of her own destiny!

Look at the young Guo Xiaoyan in front of me.

Liu Jia turned his head.

On the north wall, in a mirror with a broken corner, I saw my reflection of myself in my early twenties.

The moment I knew I was reborn.

A flood of long-forgotten memories resurfaced like a tide.

three years ago.

Like many urban youths, Guo Xiaoyan responded to the national call to go to the countryside and came to Xili Village, Da'an Town from the provincial capital.

The moment this fair-skinned, delicate young woman stepped off the oxcart, the whole village erupted in excitement.

Less than an hour.

Information about the female educated youth from the city had already spread throughout the surrounding villages and towns.

A fire ignited in the hearts of the young men.

Therefore, wherever Guo Xiaoyan appeared, there was bound to be a large group of suitors.

In the field, Guo Xiaoyan was weeding, but before she could even start, her hoe was snatched away.

When she returned to the team in the evening, a swarm of suitors showered Guo Xiaoyan with concern and attention.

They poured water, handed out towels, and practically brought the food to Guo Xiaoyan's doorstep.

After a few days, the production team leader got impatient and personally asked the women's team leader to talk to Guo Xiaoyan.

However, while these conversations are possible, this phenomenon cannot be completely eradicated.

Guo Xiaoyan had no choice but to accept this.

It was during the team leaders' repeated criticism and education of Guo Xiaoyan that she noticed someone: Liu Jia.

In Xili Village, Liu is a common surname, accounting for almost half of the village's population.

Grandpa Liu was a kind and amiable man, and a leading role model in the production team, so he was very respected.

Liu Jia is honest, reliable, and steady.

Liu Jia has two older brothers.

The eldest brother, Liu Xinguo, is already married; his wife is from the same village.

My second brother, Liu Jianye, also has a girlfriend and should be settling down by now, given his age.

Liu Jia is the only one who is not yet engaged.

Guo Xiaoyan felt that Liu Jia was the most suitable person to solve the current predicament.

First, Liu Jia can shield her from those persistent harassers.

If anyone tries to cause trouble, Liu Jia doesn't even need to step in; as long as Grandpa Liu gives the word, half the village will stand up.

Second.

Once she becomes a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, at least half of the people in Xili Village will not gossip about her.

Therefore, Guo Xiaoyan made a bold decision and took the initiative to express her feelings to Liu Jia.

Back then, Liu Jiameng's situation was just like it is now.

I was shocked, but also excited!

As Guo Xiaoyan's suitor, Liu Jia felt for the first time that his feelings had been reciprocated.

Blinded by greed, he readily agreed to the additional conditions proposed by Guo Xiaoyan.

They get married first, then consummate their marriage.

If Liu Jia can meet Guo Xiaoyan's standards within three years, then they can become a real couple.

During the postgraduate entrance exam preparation period, the two people should maintain clear boundaries and not sleep in the same bed.

To demonstrate his resolve, Liu Jia refrained from any transgressions for nearly three years.

Just as the three-year term was about to end, things took an unexpected turn.

Guo Xiaoyan's return-to-city permit has been approved!

The ordeal wasn't over yet; she wanted a divorce!

Liu Jia was caught off guard.

Guo Xiaoyan, however, remained unusually calm.

It was as if everything was going according to plan.

“Over the past three years, your Liu family has helped me a lot, and my family will never forget your kindness.”

“My father will arrange a job for you in the city, and you can also transfer your household registration to the city.”

"Or we can give you some money as compensation."

Guo Xiaoyan's voice sounded like she was giving an order, devoid of any emotion.

Liu Jia was dumbfounded and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Guo Xiaoyan added that tomorrow is the college entrance examination, and after the exam, she will go to the notary office to apply for a notarized divorce.

Liu Jia finally managed to utter a sentence.

"I won't get a divorce! I'll go wherever you go! I'll even be a live-in son-in-law!"

At that time, Liu Jia was single-mindedly focused on being with Guo Xiaoyan.

After much pleading and cajoling, he finally followed Guo Xiaoyan into the city.

Serving the entire Guo family, she still had to endure Guo Xiaoyan's disdain.

Since he didn't agree to Guo Xiaoyan's conditions, his household registration couldn't be transferred, and Liu Jia could only find odd jobs.

After changing jobs several times, he was eventually kicked out by Guo Xiaoyan.

Returning to Xili Village, Liu Jia realized the price his family had paid for his decision.

Liu Jia's decision to marry into the family in the city and become a live-in son-in-law made him the laughingstock of the whole village. His usually honest and introverted father was so angry that he fell seriously ill and soon passed away.

Less than a month later, her mother also passed away.

Liu Jia returns, his brothers turn against him, and he is abandoned by everyone...

In the pouring rain, Liu Jia knelt before his parents' graves and suddenly realized his mistake.

After two decades of ups and downs, he finally built a business empire worth trillions.

The regret of losing one's parents can never be made up for.

Liu Jia is fortunate to have been reborn at the crossroads of fate.

God has given me a chance to choose again, and I will certainly not repeat the same mistakes!

There are plenty of opportunities in front of me; what I need to do is make a lot of money so that my family can live a happy and fulfilling life!

Instead of becoming a sycophant, only to end up with your family torn apart and nothing left!

Liu Jia's feelings were complicated, but her eyes hardened.

At this time.

Guo Xiaoyan has finished packing.

The coarse cloth clothes didn't fit her well and were a bit baggy, but they couldn't hide Guo Xiaoyan's curvaceous figure at all.

Seeing Liu Jia looking in her direction, Guo Xiaoyan tossed her braids behind her and began to urge her impatiently.

"What are you standing there for? The college entrance exam is tomorrow. Shouldn't you be getting ready?"

"Let me tell you, I'm getting a divorce right after the college entrance exam."

Liu Jia raised his eyes and answered calmly.

"You don't need to worry, I agree."

Guo Xiaoyan was about to turn her back on her when she suddenly froze.
