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

Seeing Guo Jianjun's expression turn serious, Guo Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks once again.

Although he didn't speak, the question in his eyes was unmistakable.

"It's about Cao Xiangyang. I saw him a couple of days ago. There were some things he was embarrassed to say, but he wanted me to pass on your message: Shouldn't you two settle down?"

Previously, the three siblings attended the same school. Cao Xiangyang had feelings for Guo Xiaoyan, and both Guo Jianjun and Guo Xiaolan knew this.

Before going to the countryside, Cao Xiangyang even cried as he confessed his love to Guo Xiaoyan. That scene brought tears to Guo Xiaolan's eyes as well.

Now that they've both returned to the city, and Guo Xiaoyan is now a free woman, it's only natural that they should get engaged and married.

However, something went wrong at some point, and Guo Xiaoyan just wouldn't agree, so Cao Xiangyang was also very conflicted.

In Guo Jianjun's words, Cao Xiangyang only found himself because he had no other choice.

"He told you to ask?"

Guo Jianjun nodded.

"Brother, don't interfere in our affairs. I don't want to get married right now, and let's not talk about engagement anymore."

“It’s not that you don’t want to get married now, no one is forcing you to get married, but you can get engaged, at least Xiao Cao can rest assured.”

Guo Xiaoyan sneered, and her words carried a hint of aggressiveness.

"Just to put Cao Xiangyang at ease, you forced me to get engaged to him?"

"Brother, am I not your real sister? Why are you in such a hurry to marry me off?"

"Are you siding with outsiders like this because you think we've become a burden to you?"

He wanted to retort to Guo Jianjun, but his words dragged Guo Xiaolan into the mess as well.

Guo Jianjun didn't even have time to put down his chopsticks before he started waving his hands.

"I'm just asking on behalf of Cao Xiangyang, why are you framing me with such a serious crime? Are you trying to frame me?"

Guo Jianjun looked aggrieved, and Guo Xiaolan quickly spoke up to defend him.

"Yan'er, don't take it to heart. I just want to give Cao Xiangyang an explanation!"

"What's there to explain? If you really want to explain, have Cao Xiangyang come to me. Don't even think about targeting our family!"

Guo Xiaoyan spoke with righteous indignation and great momentum.

Seeing that the conversation was getting increasingly awkward, Guo Jianjun gave in directly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's not mention anything else today, let's just eat!"

Only after hearing this did Guo Xiaoyan and Guo Xiaolan pick up their chopsticks again.

at the same time.

Liu Yurou was already sitting in the back seat of Liu Jia's car, humming an unknown song.

Liu Jia felt increasingly uneasy.

Was this decision a mistake?

But Liu Yurou clung to the handlebars, refusing to let go, and kept saying that she had no home and nowhere to go.

Only then did Liu Jia feel compassion.

But seeing how cheerful she was, Liu Jia suddenly regretted it.

"Liu Yurou, I've already agreed to take you home, at least tell me the truth..."

Before Liu Jia could finish his question, Liu Yurou interrupted him.

“I know what you want to ask. I really have nowhere to go. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be traveling with a grown man. I will give you every penny of the food and lodging expenses.”

Liu Jia said nothing more.

Now that things have come to this point, if I were to ask any more questions, it would seem as if I were genuinely after her money.

Today, Liu Jia felt he had done a good deed, but he dared not think about what the consequences would be.

"Liu Jia, take me back. Are you afraid of being gossiped about by the people in your village?"

"What a joke! You think I'm afraid of that? If that were the case, I wouldn't have brought you back!"

Seeing that her provocation had succeeded, Liu Yurou smiled.

"By the way, I was born on Grain Rain day, so you can call me Xiaoyu from now on."

Liu Jia hummed in agreement and changed the subject.

"Xiaoyu, I can take you back, but you have to listen to me when it comes to sleeping."

"Hey, what are you doing!"

The bicycle lurched violently, forcing Liu Jia to use both hands to apply the brakes and even put both feet on the ground.

Behind them, Liu Yurou jumped off the car, her eyes practically murderous.

"Liu Jia, you dare to touch me!"

These words were forced out of his throat, brimming with murderous intent.

Liu Jia was taken aback.

"What's wrong with you? Just sit in your car and don't shake it around. Luckily I reacted quickly, or we would have both fallen."

After he finished speaking, Liu Jia realized what he meant.

"What did you just say? You dare to touch you? What would I do to you?"

Liu Yurou blushed and had no choice but to repeat what Liu Jia had just said.

"You said, 'Go to sleep,' and I'll listen to you!"

Liu Jia laughed heartily; if he hadn't been holding onto the handlebars, he would have had to bend over.

"What are you thinking? No, I didn't explain myself clearly. Don't overthink it. I meant, the place where we sleep... you have to listen to me. You can't stay at my house."

Liu Jia explained while laughing, trying to make his words as clear as possible.

Liu Yurou's clear eyes darted around, and she finally understood that Liu Jia wasn't talking about sleeping, but rather the place to sleep.

"Can't you just explain yourself more clearly? Honestly!"

I almost rolled my eyes at Liu Jia, but Liu Yurou had actually sat in the back seat of the car again.

Liu Jia took a deep breath, composed himself, and turned to look at Liu Yurou.

“I didn’t tell you about my family situation, so you don’t know. My second brother and I live with our parents now. There are no girls in the family, so it’s inconvenient for you to live here.”

“I was thinking of taking you to the village chief’s house. He has two daughters, so you can keep each other company.”

“I’m divorced. If you really live in our house, you won’t be able to stand all the gossip.”

Liu Yurou's surprise in front of everyone gradually turned into emotion, and finally she puffed out her cheeks, her little mouth chubby.

Liu Jia glanced at it instinctively, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

God!

That expression... it's so similar to Guo Xiaoyan's.

Why didn't you notice it before?

Liu Jia immediately gasped, his brows furrowing.

He instantly looked away.

"Here's my condition: do you agree or not? If you agree, I'll continue to take you there; if you don't, you'll have to walk back on your own."

Where am I going?

"Go wherever you want, we're going our separate ways!"

"Liu Jia, you're really ruthless. I'm just a young girl. You're just leaving me on the road like this. What if there are bad guys around?"

Liu Jia didn't speak, but just raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yurou.

Seeing this, Liu Yurou pouted again and gave in on the spot.

"Okay, I know you're not a good person. If you really leave me here, wouldn't that be even worse? I agree with you."

She said Liu Jia wasn't a good person, but Liu Yurou was smiling, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

Watching Liu Jia continue riding his bicycle forward, Liu Yurou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I was really scared just now.

This Liu Jia is really no good person!

Upon entering Xili Village, Liu Jia immediately became the target of everyone's attention.

On the edge of the village.

The sight of Liu Jia carrying a girl caused an uproar throughout the field.

"Look, look! Isn't that Old Liu's third son? Why is he carrying a woman back?"

"That woman... she looks unfamiliar. Look how successful Liu Jia is, she's found another partner?"

"That's hard to say. Liu Jia is now a model citizen in our village, so it's perfectly normal for him to find another partner. He might even end up with someone from the city."

"Judging by her clothes and appearance, she must be... wow, she even has short hair, so fashionable!"

People kept talking, their eyes wide open as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

Liu Jianye and Liu Xinguo were busy working in the bamboo field, while Liu Yutian was at the eastern edge of the field. Only Zhang Guilan and Qin Chunyan were working with some other women.

Hearing the chaotic discussions, Zhang Guilan also began to worry.

Zhou Caixia kept staring at the edge of the field, but could only see Liu Jia. In order to see more clearly, Zhou Caixia threw the hoe in her hand aside and strode towards the edge of the field.

"Caixia, where are you going?"

If you're someone who loves a good show, go ahead and ask.

Zhou Caixia didn't even turn her head, and simply said, "Go to the outhouse!"

With each step she took, Zhou Caixia would clench her back teeth.

Liu Jia! You're really something!

When he rejected me, he spoke from the bottom of his heart, and I really thought we weren't a good match.

I never imagined that you thought people from the countryside weren't a good match for you, and that you only liked people from the city!

Alright, today I'll see what kind of vixen you've brought back!

Although she already had a boyfriend, the rumors people were spreading made Zhou Caixia's anger rise again.

Sitting on the bicycle, Liu Yurou faced the strange looks with an open and generous expression.

"Liu Jia, a lot of people are looking this way."

"Look."

"Some of them even pointed their fingers at you!"

"Point it out."

"They're probably just speculating, aren't they? Look, we're sitting in the same car right now, they're bound to make assumptions."

Guess.

Liu Yurou asked a question, and Liu Jia answered with a nonchalant reply, as if the whole matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Zhou Caixia approaching, Liu Jia pedaled a few more times.

Soon, the bicycle stopped in front of Zhou Caixia.

Before Zhou Caixia could speak, Liu Jia blurted out a sentence.

"Caixia, I've found you a girlfriend. She can stay at your place tonight!"

Zhou Caixia took a deep breath, her face flushed red, and pointed at Liu Jia.

"Liu Jia, you...you're bullying me!"

"Who bullied you? Let me tell you, this is a way to make money. Food and lodging are all included, and the bill is settled daily!"

Liu Jia spoke with utmost seriousness.

Zhou Caixia was completely stunned.

Liu Jia, are you obsessed with money?

The women you bring back... you cheat them all?

Before Zhou Caixia could even ask her question, Liu Yurou jumped off the car and sweetly greeted, "Hello, Sister Caixia."
