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

Are you asking Zhao Xiaochao and the others to come here and check out the factory?

There doesn't seem to be anything inappropriate about it.

As the saying goes, fighting evil with evil is the best course of action.

If we really brought Zhao Xiaochao and his bunch of scoundrels over, wouldn't Da Chuizi and Zhou Erlai be scared out of their wits?

Just thinking about it makes me feel at ease.

"That's a good idea, Liu Yurou, you're quite resourceful."

"Calling me Xiaoyu sounds too formal, Liu Yurou!" After complaining about Liu Jia, Liu Yurou turned to Zhou Caixia and asked, "Sister Caixia, do you think I'm right?"

Zhou Caixia nodded, seemingly confused.

"Yes, young girl, how can you name someone by their surname?"

Liu Jia pursed his lips.

If two women are of one mind, what role do men have?

To avoid being targeted by the two women together, Liu Jia simply stopped talking.

But in his heart, he kept thinking about what Liu Yurou had mentioned.

The two girls seemed to have endless topics to discuss and didn't notice that Liu Jia wasn't involved.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the bamboo field.

Even from a distance, before I got close, a beam of flashlight light shone over me.

"Who is it? What do you want?"

The voice sounds like Liu Jianye.

Liu Jia quickly called out, "Second Brother."

"Sanzi, you scared me! I thought someone was causing trouble!" Liu Jianye said, shining a flashlight in Liu Jia's face.

Liu Jia quickly squinted, "Why are you shining the light in my eyes?"

"Shining it will make it clearer, you..." Before Liu Jianye could finish speaking, the flashlight beam shone on Zhou Caixia and Liu Yurou.

Liu Jianye didn't say the rest, but he had already glanced at Zhou Caixia and the others several times.

What are you, a grown man, doing wandering around here with two girls so late at night?

The rumors about you and Zhou Caixia in the village have just calmed down recently, why are you so careless?

Thinking of the girl next to him, whom he had never met before, Liu Jianye took another look at Liu Yurou.

"This is……"

"I'll tell you about it later. I was thinking of coming over to see how things are going here. Caixia and Xiaoyu were coming along too, so we came together."

Liu Jia spoke very naturally, and Liu Jianye didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the foundation was almost finished, Liu Jia smiled.

After walking a few steps along the foundation of the courtyard wall, Liu Jia spoke with a smile.

"Second brother, our yard is quite big, we can grow some vegetables there later."

“Sure, this big yard is just sitting idle anyway. Once the factory is built, I’ll clear out this land.”

As soon as Liu Jianye finished speaking, Liu Yurou suddenly tilted her head and asked, "Isn't this a factory? Why are the sizes different? Why is the one opposite me so big?"

"This is the control room, and these two next to it are offices. They're definitely different sizes," Liu Jia explained, pointing to the two smaller rooms.

"That makes sense. The workers can work in the factory without being exposed to the wind and sun, and if they get business, they can discuss it in the office. That's fine."

Liu Yurou nodded as she spoke, a thoughtful expression on her baby face.

Liu Jianye stared wide-eyed.

what's going on?

When I first saw this person, I thought she was just a young girl. How come she speaks so eloquently?

And the way he nodded, he really looked like someone who had experienced something big.

Seeing the doubt in Liu Jianye's eyes, Liu Jia had no choice but to introduce Liu Yurou again.

Then, Liu Jia looked at Liu Jianye again.

"Second Brother, I want to discuss something with you. How about I bring a few people over from outside?"

Who is it?

"It's just to help look after the factory and handle some things there. If you don't think it's necessary, then forget it."

No sooner had Liu Jia finished speaking than Liu Jianye blurted out without hesitation, "I'll do whatever you say!"

"I was thinking that, in the long run, if something happens and it's not convenient for you to step in, since you're not from the same village as us, but from a neighboring village, it would be more convenient for them to step in."

After Liu Jia explained it this way, Liu Jianye immediately understood.

"Okay, I think it's necessary."

"Then it's settled. I'll bring the person back in a couple of days."

Before this, Liu Jia had only had one thought in mind, but after seeing Liu Jianye agree, Liu Jia had already made up his mind to bring Zhao Xiaochao and the others over.

As for the food rations Liu Yurou mentioned, Liu Jia didn't take it to heart.

I brought the person here myself, and she helped me with the work, so why should I let a young girl pay for it?

I can't do this kind of thing myself, and I wouldn't stoop to doing it.

While Liu Jia was talking to Liu Jianye, Zhou Caixia and Liu Yurou were also busy.

The two girls spoke very softly, mumbling to themselves, and sometimes they would laugh out loud.

"Sanzi, this little girl... has she been living here all along? Have you made up your mind?"

After all, they were brothers, and Liu Jianye was still worried about Liu Jia. Taking advantage of the two girls' inattention, he quietly asked them a question.

Liu Jia glanced at Liu Yurou not far away and pondered for a moment before saying, "My intuition tells me that she won't stay here for long because she has too many secrets."

Having heard about Liu Dongpo before, and now seeing Liu Yurou speaking so eloquently about factory construction, Liu Jia became increasingly convinced that Liu Yurou was definitely not as simple as she appeared.

Whether bringing Liu Yurou back to Xili Village would be a blessing or a curse, Liu Jia couldn't say for sure.

Before Liu Jianye could speak, Liu Jia said to himself, "Let's take it one step at a time."

"Don't you think you have enough to do?"

Knowing that Liu Jianye was only doing it for his own good, Liu Jia smiled and started talking about other things.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the three of them went back together.

The next morning, Liu Yurou actually went to the fields with Zhou Caixia, but she was a little clumsy when she held the hoe, which made the people around her laugh.

Liu Yurou wasn't angry at all. She smiled and talked to the young women and wives. In no time, everyone became familiar with each other.

Another day passed, and Liu Jia was going to the city. Liu Yurou suggested that she go with Liu Jia.

"I think you're losing interest and want to leave, aren't you?"

Liu Yurou pouted, "No, it's not that. The team leader's family hasn't asked me for money for meals these past two days, and I feel bad about it, so I have to buy them something."

"So that's what you were thinking. Let's go then!"

Liu Jia was unpretentious; with a basket hanging from the handlebars, he led Liu Yurou towards the city.

As soon as Liu Jia arrived near the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he saw Zhao Xiaochao.

Judging from the looks of it, they must be waiting for me here.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you here for the past two days."

Before Liu Jia could even ask, Zhao Xiaochao had already made his point perfectly clear.

Liu Jia squeezed the brakes with both hands and stopped the bicycle.

"Is something wrong?"

Zhao Xiaochao nodded his head vigorously, like he was pounding garlic.

"Yes, there are two things. The first is to ask Brother Liu if he has made up his mind about letting the brothers follow you?"

"There's one more thing, it's about Bai Daqun. In a couple of days, Bai Daqun is going to attend some trade fair. I wonder if this will be helpful to Brother Liu."

Before Zhao Xiaochao could finish speaking, Liu Jia immediately perked up. "A trade fair? Are you sure Bai Daqun is on the list of attendees?"

"I don't know the list of people, but Bai Daqun is definitely going. In fact, Bai Daqun has already started making preparations, and even his lunch rations have been prepared."

Zhao Xiaochao looked very serious.

Liu Jia was completely baffled.

Liu Yurou, who was next to her, also blinked.

"Isn't food provided at the trade fair? Since you're on the list of people in charge, you must be in charge, so why do you have to bring your own food?"

Zhao Xiaochao sniffed. "You don't know this, but Bai Daqun has a strange habit. Whether he's going to a meeting or there's an organization's arrangement, he always brings his own food when he's eating out. To put it bluntly, it's all to get a good reputation."

Liu Jia immediately understood.

As expected of someone who has weathered many storms, Bai Daqun seems to be taking every step with great caution.

Knowing that they were exposed by the Revolutionary Committee, they are now trying every means to clear their names.

However, there was no time to think about that right now; Liu Jia just wanted to confirm whether Bai Daqun was really going to participate in the trade fair.

If he really goes, then the bamboo basket issue will be in trouble.

Bai Daqun is Cao Xiangyang's backer. If Cao Xiangyang has already spoken to Bai Daqun beforehand, then he shouldn't participate in this trade fair.

Moreover, Liu Jia was certain that, given Cao Xiangyang's personality, he would definitely not let this opportunity slip by!

While Liu Jia was pondering, Zhao Xiaochao remained silent.

After a while, Liu Jia turned to Liu Yurou and said, "Wait here for a bit, don't wander off. I'll be back in a little while."

Then he said to Zhao Xiaochao, "Keep a close eye on him, don't lose him!"

After saying that, Liu Jia pushed the cart and headed straight for the backyard of the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Hopefully Li Zhenhe didn't go out today!

As soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Jia craned his neck and asked the old man guarding the door.

"Sir, is Li Zhenhe here today?"

The gatekeeper thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "He's here. I saw him go in just now, and he hasn't come out yet!"

"Okay, thank you, sir!"

Liu Jia tapped his foot, got on his bicycle, and rode several times faster than before!

The old gatekeeper put down his enamel mug and said with a smile, "This lad is really busy, he's really doing a good job!"

At this time, the regular employees of the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative are taking attendance.

Liu Jia had just parked his bicycle when he spotted Li Zhenhe in the crowd.

"Brother Li, something's up, come over here!"

Liu Jia spoke softly, waving to Li Zhenhe the whole time.

After taking attendance, Li Zhenhe jogged over.

"What's wrong? Did Caixia ask you to send me a message?"

Liu Jia ignored the excited Li Zhenhe and went straight to assigning tasks, "Brother Li, today, no matter what, you have to get the list of participants for the trade fair!"
