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

Big Hammer bent down and reached up to roll his trouser leg up to his knee, but the anger in his heart was still simmering!

Liu Jia lived a life of luxury, owning bamboo forests and building factories, and occasionally bringing back a woman!

But he was so poor that he couldn't find a wife for him in six months!

Thinking about it carefully, if Liu Jia hadn't ruined things for that wife, life wouldn't have turned out like this!

A strong sense of resentment rose within him once more, and Big Hammer gritted his teeth and went out.

Feng Erni and Zhang Cuihua were still whispering to each other, completely unaware of when Da Chuizi had left.

……

Liu Jia led Liu Yurou to the factory, and Liu Jianye quickly came over.

"Sanzi, how's the progress today? At this rate, this row next to us will be topped out in less than two days."

"Great job, everyone's worked hard. Second brother, are these rooms in the east wing ready for people to live in?"

Seeing that three rooms in the east wing had already been built, Liu Jia quickly inquired about them.

It won't be long before Zhao Xiaochao and his group arrive, and we'll need to arrange a place for them to stay.

If there is a ready-made factory here, that would be the best.

Liu Jianye's message to Liu Jia was very certain: the rooms in the east wing were already habitable, except that the windows weren't fixed yet, and there were a lot of mosquitoes buzzing around at night.

"It's nothing. I'll get some mugwort later. Oh, and we still have mosquito coils at home. I'll bring some over. My second brother and the others will be here soon."

Liu Jianye was taken aback, not expecting Liu Jia to have found the person so quickly.

Thinking about how things would become more and more successful in the future, Liu Jianye grinned.

Half an hour later, Zhao Xiaochao and the others met with Liu Jianye.

Because he had already given instructions, Liu Jia did not stay at the factory for long. After introducing himself to Liu Jianye, Liu Jia left.

Liu Yurou did not follow Liu Jia, but went to the production team to find Zhou Caixia.

Without this tagalong, Liu Jia immediately felt much more relaxed.

Liu Jia pedaled hard on his bicycle, but his mind was preoccupied with the trade fair.

With Bai Daqun no longer causing trouble, hopefully we'll hear good news from the trade fair.

Looking at the rows of houses in the village, Liu Jia thought of something else.

I can't keep taking Liu Yurou around like this anymore.

Although Xili Village is small, it has plenty of eyes. Along the way from one end to the other, countless people have been gossiping.

He, a grown man, could disregard such considerations, but Liu Yurou was, after all, a girl. Even if she wasn't from this village, he still had to consider the impact.

"Liu Jia, you went to the city again today?"

Liu Jia was in a daze when suddenly, a person appeared out of the alley.

Instinctively, Liu Jia squeezed the brakes with both hands to stop the bicycle in time. "Who is it? Why did you suddenly come out? Luckily I braked quickly, or I would have hit you."

As Liu Jia spoke, he looked up, and his brows furrowed as soon as he saw the person in front of him clearly.

It turned out to be Zhang Yanzi from this village.

However, Zhang Yanzi was different today than usual.

Her hair wasn't braided, but left loose, casually tied with a red string.

She wasn't wearing coarse cloth clothes, but a white, cool short-sleeved shirt.

The dark blue coarse cloth trousers looked familiar, with two patches on the knees.

This outfit, when worn, looks somewhat mismatched and incongruous.

If you only look at her upper body, you might mistake her for a city girl.

Recently, Liu Jia has been going to the city more often, and many girls on the street have stopped braiding their hair and have cut their hair short, just like Liu Yurou.

You could say it's a fashion trend.

But Zhang Yanzi didn't fully embrace the fashion trends of the city.

Her pants...

Feeling Liu Jia staring at her, Zhang Yanzi's face immediately turned red.

Seeing Liu Jia ride his bicycle past, Zhang Yanzi hurried home to start preparing.

After hiding in the alley for a long time, he finally saw Liu Jia coming over and rushed over, creating this unexpected encounter.

Surprisingly, the results were quite good.

Liu Jia kept staring at him.

Zhang Yanzi's heart was in her throat, and she was extremely nervous.

It seems that as long as you dress fashionably, you can always attract the attention of some men.

Just like now.

"Zhang Yanzi, don't block my way, can you move aside?"

Zhang Yanzi was immersed in her own fantasy, even thinking that Liu Jia would fall for her in a little while.

Unexpectedly, this is what I got in return.

Zhang Yanzi froze, then raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Liu Jia, I have some questions for you."

"Go on," Liu Jia said expressionlessly, his face revealing no emotion.

"Is your factory still hiring? I can weave baskets too, and I'm thinking of working at your factory. These days, we should help each other out, so let's improve together."

Zhang Yanzi stumbled and hesitated before finally managing to say what she had thought of.

But Liu Jia's eyes slanted.

Seeing this, Zhang Yanzi became even more nervous, fearing that Liu Jia would see through her little scheme.

We are not hiring at the moment.

"When are you going to start recruiting? When you do, could you reserve a spot for me?"

Zhang Yanzi persisted, moving even closer to Liu Jia as she spoke.

“We’re from the same village. Although my name also contains the character for ‘swallow’, I’m not like Guo Xiaoyan. I’m just a really honest person.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Jia's eyebrows furrowed into a knot.

What a mess!

If you want to weave baskets, then weave baskets. Why did you bring up Guo Xiaoyan'er?

Besides, what young woman constantly talks about being practical?

Moreover, generally speaking, those who claim to be honest are often the least honest, a fact that Liu Jia has learned firsthand.

"We hire based on skills, not names. I have other things to do, could you please make way?"

When Liu Jia spoke, his already emotionless tone became even colder.

Zhang Yanzi had no choice but to move to the side.

I was about to say something more, but Liu Jia had already ridden away on his bicycle.

"Seriously, what went wrong? Is it because I mentioned Guo Xiaoyan? Guo Xiaoyan is just my nemesis!"

Since Liu Jia contracted the bamboo forest and opened a factory, many women in the village have discovered Liu Jia's excellence.

Zhang Yanzi is one of them.

Despite knowing she couldn't compare to the girls in the city, Zhang Yanzi still wanted to bite the bullet and give it a try.

Unexpectedly, I ran into a brick wall right from the start!

Zhang Yanzi dawdled as she walked back, her head feeling heavy.

……

On the way, Zhang Yanzi intercepted him and brought up the matter of recruitment, which directly reminded Liu Jia.

Contracting bamboo forests is not difficult, and building factories is not a problem either, but if the recruitment of workers is not handled properly, it will bring a series of hidden dangers.

Zhang Dalaba shot himself in the foot, which is satisfying, but if a few more incidents like Zhang Yanzi's happen, it will definitely cause some resentment.

This will not only affect the bamboo basket field, but may also put Zhou Fengshou in a difficult position.

This presented him with quite a challenge.

Liu Jia walked back while thinking.

Tonight, Zhao Xiaochao and a few others stayed at the factory, and brought over some bedding themselves.

Although it's summer now and we don't need thick blankets, we can't just make do.

Liu Jia tidied up at home. After coming down the mountain, Zhang Guilan found the bedding. It wasn't made of new cotton, but it was still usable.

"Mom, the bicycle can't carry this much. I'll take it over first and come back in a bit."

Liu Jia picked up the thick hemp rope, tied the two sets of bedding together, and said something to the south room.

Zhang Guilan's voice came from inside the house soon after, "Go on, come back and have dinner."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

As soon as Liu Jia stepped out the door, he slammed on the brakes.

"Oh my god, that scared me! You almost bumped into me!"

The person in front of him was speaking while hiding behind the wall, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Jia pitifully.

"why is it you again?"

"I find that strange too; you almost bumped into me twice today!"

Seeing Liu Jia staring at her, Zhang Yanzi put her hand on her chest, looking shy.

"busy?"

Liu Jia suppressed the impatience in his eyes and asked with a frown.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see my aunt."

Aunt?

Liu Jia's mind raced, and he looked at Zhang Yanzi with a puzzled expression.

Why is she looking for her mother?

What's up?

"Don't be so defensive. I'm just asking my aunt about some needlework. You go ahead and do your thing."

After saying that, Zhang Yanzi gave Liu Jia a charming smile.

Liu Jia was startled and quickly got into the car and drove away.

Previously, all his attention was focused on Guo Xiaoyan, and he rarely paid attention to the other girls in the village.

It wasn't until now that Liu Jia discovered that Xili Village had such an oddball.

This Zhang Yanzi is really inexplicable!

At this moment, Zhang Yanzi was overjoyed.

Although Liu Jia was leaving as soon as I arrived, it was still a formal conversation with him.

Zhang Yanzi thought to herself that as long as she frequented the Liu family's place more often, it would only be a matter of time before she got Liu Jia.

Liu Jia is now quite successful in his career. After all, he's divorced, while I'm a virgin. I'm more than a match for Liu Jia.

After putting down the bedding, Liu Jia quickly rode his bicycle back home, just in time for dinner.

"Mom, what's Old Zhang's daughter doing at our house?"

As soon as he sat down on the bench, Liu Jia looked up and asked a question.

Zhang Guilan hesitated for a moment, but still told Liu Jia the truth in front of the family.

"Yanzi said she's interested in you and wants to date you."

"What? This woman is now promoting herself?" Liu Jia's eyes widened in disbelief.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already pushed it away for you, but you seemed pretty annoyed when you left,” Zhang Guilan quickly said.
