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

Liu Jia bluntly retorted, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he countered with a question.

"Why don't you take them in?"

"You think I wouldn't dare? I just don't want to; I don't need these people right now."

Liu Yurou spoke very seriously, as if it were a real story.

Their round cheeks were puffed out, and I must say, they looked quite cute with their chubby cheeks.

Liu Jia burst out laughing.

There was no malice intended, but the laughter still made Liu Yurou frown.

"What, you don't believe it?"

"What's the difference between believing and not believing? Even if you're bragging, there's nothing I can do to you."

After exchanging a few words with Liu Yurou, Liu Jia turned around again.

I've already eaten, so riding my bike back now won't delay my work this afternoon.

If we continue to delay, we'll be wasting all our time.

Thinking this, Liu Jia quickened his pace.

The sound of running footsteps came from behind, and then Liu Yurou suddenly blocked Liu Jia's path, saying, "Who said I was bragging?"

"I take back what I just said. You weren't bragging, okay?"

The more Liu Jiayue said that, the angrier Liu Yurou became, and her face turned bright red as she spoke.

"I'll show you whether I'm bragging or not!"

"Take them in, let them follow you, and I'll provide their food rations!"

"I'll make you admit defeat!"

Liu Yurou put her hands on her hips and looked at Liu Jia provocatively.

Liu Jia had just stepped out of the state-run restaurant with one foot, but his other foot was stuck in mid-air, motionless.

He recruits his own followers and has suckers to pay his wages—is this a windfall?

Do not!

It's definitely a trap!

After what happened last time, Liu Jia has come to believe that cause and effect can sometimes come too quickly, so quickly that it catches people off guard.

Regardless of the girl's motives, Liu Jia didn't want to provoke her.

Such a boastful tone suggests either a liar or someone you can't afford to mess with.

With his career just starting out, Liu Jia didn't want to get distracted and get into unnecessary trouble.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but you don't need to worry about this matter."

Liu Jia had just refused when Liu Yurou suddenly tilted her head and asked, "You still don't believe me?"

Liu Jia was speechless.

I don't know you, so what does it matter whether I believe you or not?

Just then, someone came in through the restaurant entrance, and Liu Jia quickly turned around.

The man hurried in, then suddenly turned back.

"Liu Jia? Is it really you?"

The speaker was Guo Jianjun.

Liu Jia never expected to run into his former brother-in-law here.

Looking further ahead, I even spotted Guo Xiaolan and Guo Xiaoyan!

So these three siblings came here for a meal.

I arrived a bit early. It's the busiest time at the state-run restaurant right now, so it's normal to run into them.

Liu Jia smiled and asked, "You've come over for dinner?"

"Yes, I'm not going back for lunch today. I'm going out for a nice meal. Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."

Guo Jianjun harbored no ill will toward Liu Jia.

Guo Xiaolan, who was standing next to her, was also wondering what it would be like if Liu Jia agreed to have dinner with them.

Only Guo Xiaoyan's expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

Just now, from a distance, I saw Liu Jia talking non-stop with a girl.

Although the two were keeping their distance, Guo Xiaoyan could still sense that the girl was staring at Liu Jia.

Sensing that something was wrong with his sister's expression, Guo Jianjun decided to go all out and grabbed Liu Jia's arm.

"No, I've already eaten. You guys go ahead and eat."

No sooner had Liu Jia finished speaking than Liu Yurou blurted out, "He's full."

opposite.

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

All eyes turned to Liu Yurou!

Guo Xiaolan's eyes were filled with doubt, while Guo Xiaoyan's face darkened.

Guo Jianjun looked embarrassed, "This is..."

Before Liu Jia could answer, Liu Yurou began to explain on her own.

“I’m his friend, and we’re talking about…some things.”

Liu Yurou paused for a moment at the crucial moment before saying the next sentence.

This inevitably leads people to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

A spirited young man is facing a pure and pretty girl, and the two are talking about something.

Let's talk about something else, let's talk about love!

Guo Xiaoyan swallowed hard, trying to suppress her emotions, but her gaze towards Liu Jia was almost spitting fire!

Liu Jia, you're really busy!

A while ago, he took Zhou Caixia to the supply and marketing cooperative, and just a few days later, he took another girl to a state-run restaurant!

You really are... not doing your job properly!

Liu Jia didn't think about anything else; she just wanted to avoid them, so she instinctively went along with Liu Yurou's words.

"Yes, we do have something to discuss."

"Then you guys go ahead with your work, we'll go in first."

Guo Jianjun had no choice but to let go.

Guo Xiaoyan walked forward angrily, glancing at Liu Jia as she passed by, and even uttering a few words.

"Hopeless!"

Liu Jia ignored him and simply nodded to Guo Xiaolan, who arrived later.

"Liu Jia, let us in."

Guo Xiaolan's voice sounded nervous, clearly due to embarrassment.

After the Guo siblings had all gone inside, Liu Jia finally sighed.

"What's wrong? That girl seemed angry. Did you do something to betray her? I hate unfaithful men the most!"

Liu Jia came to the roadside and tilted his head to scrutinize Liu Yurou in front of him.

With a baby face, she is more mischievous and clever. Although she tries to be serious, she can't hide her playfulness.

She has short hair, a pure and innocent look, and a mole on her chubby cheek.

She was a girl with delicate features.

But what she said didn't match her appearance at all.

"We are complete strangers and have no grudges against each other, so please don't ask so many questions."

If we were to really talk about his relationship with Guo Xiaoyan, it would probably take two days and two nights to finish. The important thing is that Liu Jia doesn't want to talk about it right now.

But Liu Yurou was relentless in her pursuit.

"We've met at least a few times, and I was even thinking of helping you raise your younger brother. How can you say we're complete strangers?"

"How about you tell me about you and that girl, and I'll cover your brother's food expenses? How about it?"

"I think there's something going on between you and that girl in the dress. The way she looked at you was off. I can't be wrong!"

After saying that, Liu Yurou bit her lip and glanced specifically at the entrance of the state-run restaurant.

Liu Jia could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

"What does a little kid like you know? Stop talking nonsense and go home. Your family will be worried sick."

It was just a casual remark, but Liu Yurou's expression changed drastically!

"What do you know! Who are you?"

Liu Jia was completely stunned.

The girl's voice was so sweet and childlike just now, how come it suddenly sounds like she's taken a gun?

Especially when asked questions out of the blue, I don't even know how to answer them.

Liu Yurou's eyes widened, her face full of vigilance.

Liu Jia found it all very strange.

It's mealtime, and if a girl doesn't go home, wouldn't her family be worried?

How could something so ordinary be so terrifying to this girl?

"I don't know anything, I just know it's mealtime now, and my family will worry if a girl is out alone."

After saying this casually, Liu Jia turned and left.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Despite Liu Yurou's repeated attempts to stop him, Liu Jia did not stop.

But Liu Yurou suddenly blocked Liu Jia's handlebars.

"How about we make a deal? You let me go with you, and I'll give you money!"

Liu Jia was once again completely bewildered.

This girl is incredibly bold! She doesn't even know who she is, yet she wants to follow me?

Give me the money back?

Isn't this a classic case of "I sold you out, and you're still helping me count the money"?

Looking at the quirky and clever girl in front of me, it turns out she has something wrong with her head.

"Where do you live? Let me take you home."

“I have no home. You want me to go back with you? I won’t just eat and stay for free; I’ll pay for it.”

Liu Jia never expected that he would be stuck with the same scoundrel twice during his trips to the city.

……

The three Guo siblings sat together, and the table was full of dishes that Guo Xiaoyan and Guo Xiaolan liked to eat.

Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised pork ribs, braised pork belly, and freshly steamed egg custard.

Despite Guo Jianjun's constant urging to eat, neither Guo Xiaolan nor Guo Xiaoyan showed any interest in touching their chopsticks. Both of them seemed absent-minded and lost in thought.

"What happened? It wasn't like this when we arrived. Is the food not to your liking?"

Guo Jianjun placed a piece of pork rib into Guo Xiaoyan's bowl.

Then, he put a piece of braised pork in Guo Xiaolan's bowl.

"Brother, don't worry about me, I can do it myself," Guo Xiaolan said softly.

Guo Xiaoyan remained expressionless and didn't even say thank you.

Both of them knew that Guo Xiaoyan was throwing a tantrum because of Liu Jia's matter.

Even now, Guo Jianjun doesn't know how to persuade him anymore.

Logically speaking, since Liu Jia and Guo Xiaoyan are already divorced, Guo Xiaoyan has no right to interfere with how Liu Jia lives his life in the future.

In fact, Guo Xiaoyan had absolutely no reason to be angry about Liu Jia's matter.

But things didn't go as expected.

After meeting Liu Jia today, Guo Xiaoyan's mood completely changed.

Guo Jianjun looked at Guo Xiaoyan and could only say, "Yan'er, let's eat first, we can talk about Liu Jia's matter later."

Guo Xiaoyan looked up and quickly rolled her eyes.

"Why even mention him? He's simply... hopeless!"

"Yes, we don't need to get angry over hopeless people, don't you think?"

As soon as Guo Jianjun finished speaking, Guo Xiaoyan gave him a sharp look.

"You're hopeless!"

Guo Jianjun was completely stunned.

How did I become hopeless too?

"Yan'er, I'm hopeless, alright? But I still have something to tell you."
