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

With orders suddenly increasing and production ramping up, the task of carefully selecting workers fell to Zhou Fengshou.

Liu Jia was responsible for product delivery and related scheduling.

As before, Zhou Caixia was in charge of the quality of the baskets.

As for the bamboo felling and the settlement of wages at the factory, Liu Jia handed it over to Liu Jianye and Liu Xinguo.

In this way, although the number of orders increased significantly, there was no panic at the moment; instead, Liu Jia divided them into even more detailed categories.

Having witnessed Liu Jia's abilities firsthand, Zhou Fengshou even had another idea in mind.

In such a short time, Liu Jia was able to manage a factory so well. If he could manage Xili Village in the future, he would definitely be able to handle it with ease!

As for Li Zhenhe, Zhou Fengshou grew increasingly fond of him, and he was genuinely happy to have such a son-in-law.

Zhou Fengshou laughed, and Li Zhenhe also relaxed.

At the entrance of the production team, hearty laughter echoed one after another.

At this moment, many people recognized Li Zhenhe and realized that the broadcaster who spoke clearly was Zhou Fengshou's son-in-law.

Amidst the chorus of envy, a sliver of jealousy gradually emerged.

Liu Shuduan wore a smile on his face, but felt uneasy inside.

Previously, Zhang Cuihua had even gathered a few people to cause trouble at the village chief's house because of Liu Jia's land contracting.

The incident caused quite a stir back then, and in the end, Zhang Cuihua and Liu Jia became enemies, as everyone could clearly see.

However, because of the matter with the big hammer, Zhang Cuihua was in no mood to care about anything else, so she said far fewer sarcastic things about Liu Jia behind his back.

Finally, Liu Shuduan turned his attention to Zhou Erlai.

By Tuesday, he was able to get out of bed, although he walked with a limp, but he could still join in the fun when needed.

For example, right now, everyone is discussing Liu Jia's factory project, but he came on Tuesday with a blank expression.

"Secondly, what's wrong? Are you jealous because other people are doing so well?"

Liu Shuduan asked the question seemingly casually.

On Tuesday, he let out a muffled hum, then his face darkened.

"He was lucky to be born at the right time and with the help of benefactors. If I were to encounter such good fortune, I would be just as successful!"

He came indignantly on Tuesday, his eyes filled with resentment.

Liu Shuduan blinked, almost bursting out laughing.

Tuesday is a notorious scoundrel in the village, known for his laziness and gluttony. The day he finally rises to prominence will be a miracle.

However, seeing how certain Zhou Erlai was, Liu Shuduan still raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Isn't it obvious? The team leader and Liu Jia are now in cahoots. The team leader's daughter is even working as a manager in Liu Jia's factory. They also have people from the supply and marketing cooperative in the city helping them. Isn't that a benefactor?"

"Think about it, among all the people I just mentioned, which one of them wasn't a pillar of his career?"

"With so many people helping him, even a piece of mud can be lifted up. In my opinion, Zhou Fengshou is still not giving up. He might still be thinking of marrying his daughter to Liu Jia!"

After hearing what Zhou Erlai said, Liu Shuduan's ears perked up.

No wonder Liu Jia is so successful; it turns out he has connections in his own right!

The highest-ranking official in the village is the village head, and now the village head is protecting him!

Zhou Caixia is skilled with her hands and teaches people how to weave baskets.

That announcer just now was helping Liu Jia with his business...

Thinking about it this way, isn't it just like what Zhou Er said? With the support of many people, even a lump of mud can be turned into gold!

"I was thinking that the Liu family must have had some good fortune in their ancestral graves, producing such an ambitious person. I never expected they would actually be born at such a good time. They're shameless!"

Liu Shuduan was angry because the same thing hadn't happened to her own son!

If Liu Jia were replaced by her own husband, the couple would be fawned over and respected by everyone on the street.

It's a pity that Liu Jia got to have such a good opportunity!

If we're talking about something really strange, it has to be Zhou Fengshou, the production team leader.

Everyone is a member of Xili Village, so why is Zhou Fengshou so biased towards Liu Jia?

"We're all human, just with different fates!"

Liu Shuduan said sourly.

Zhou Erlai quickly followed up, "What do you mean by different fates? I bet Liu Jia must have given Zhou Fengshou some benefits in private, otherwise, Zhou Fengshou wouldn't be protecting Liu Jia so fiercely!"

"They keep saying that we should all get rich together, and that we should let some people get rich first, and then lead everyone to a better life. It's all a lie!"

"They just want to line their own pockets; they won't care about our lives then!"

On Tuesday, she got angrier and angrier as she talked, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Seeing Liu Shuduan's stunned expression, Zhou Erlai then adopted a strategy of advancing while retreating.

"Sister-in-law, haven't you figured this out yet? You're such a perceptive person, I thought you understood it a long time ago!"

"What do I understand? If you hadn't analyzed it like this today, I would still be foolishly clapping for someone!"

"In my opinion, with these people helping him, my brother could do better than Liu Jia even with his eyes closed. Don't you think so?"

"You're praising him a bit too much, but your brother is quite capable."

……

In just a few words, Zhou Erlai started calling him "brother" affectionately, though he was actually referring to their seniority as neighbors.

But coming from Tuesday's mouth, someone who didn't know better would really think he and Liu Shuduan's man were born of the same mother.

Even after everyone started working in the fields, Liu Shuduan was still in a daze, his mind filled with the thought, "With someone helping me, my brother could do better than Liu Jia even with his eyes closed."

The next morning, Liu Jia set off early.

In the past two days, everything has come together at once: orders have increased, the factory roof needs to be completed, and more workers need to be recruited.

Liu Jia was glad he brought Zhao Xiaochao and the others back; otherwise, even if he had used his whole family, he would have been in a complete mess.

This time, Liu Yurou will go to the city with her.

Liu Jia originally didn't want to bring this girl along, but when she said she wanted to buy things, especially things for girls, he agreed.

"I can't be of much help at the factory. I said I wanted to go to the city with you, but you're in such a hurry. Don't you want to be with me?"

Liu Yurou sat in the back seat, pouting and complaining.

As Liu Jia pedaled, he replied, "With so many baskets hanging on the front handlebars and a hundred or so pounds of meat on the back, pedaling isn't hard at all."

Liu Yurou was momentarily stunned.

A hundred or so pounds of meat?

He was clearly carrying himself, so where was the meat?

Just as she thought of this, Liu Yurou's cheeks puffed up with anger.

"Liu Jia, I am a living, breathing person, how could you describe me like that?"

"What? That's not right, someone as big as you, doesn't weigh more than a hundred pounds?"

"Even if it exists, you can't say that!"

"What's the difference?"

The two bickered as they made their way into the city, but the journey wasn't boring at all.

Upon arriving at the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Liu Jia delivered the baskets, while Liu Yurou wandered around the daily necessities section.

Li Zhenhe didn't drive today; he followed Liu Jia the whole time, his mouth agape in a wide smile.

"Sanzi, you're so thoughtful. It's a good thing we put some goods in Qingcheng last time, otherwise we would have had to make another trip."

Thinking back to the ups and downs of the last time, Li Zhenhe pursed his lips as he spoke.

Some things seem to be predetermined; before they even happen, fate has already arranged them.

Even now, Li Zhenhe still can't understand how things could have turned out so coincidentally, almost leading to them running into Li the Shorty.

However, Liu Jia said that he would not mention this matter again, so Li Zhenhe let him move on.

Knowing that he would be going to Qingcheng soon, Li Zhenhe instinctively prayed in his heart that he would never encounter the same thing as last time.

After putting away the receipts, Liu Jia picked up where Li Zhenhe left off.

"We'll inevitably have to travel back and forth in the future. So many supply and marketing cooperatives need us to supply them. Let's try to arrange our time as flexibly as possible."

"Sanzi, do you think I should take a vacation? Just to deliver goods for us?"

As soon as Li Zhenhe spoke, Liu Jia immediately refused.

“No, Brother Li, this is your secure job, you can’t lose it. Even if our factory hires a car and a driver, we can’t let you take this risk.”

While individuals can make money quickly, it comes with certain risks. Although the business is now on the right track, Liu Jia will absolutely not allow Li Zhenhe to do this until everything is absolutely certain.

"What's there to be afraid of? We're young and have plenty of strength. If we fall down, we'll just get back up!"

"That's true, but you're not alone now. You still have Caixia. If something really happens, do you expect Caixia to get up with you?"

Li Zhenhe was stunned and immediately gasped.

I was so excited that I forgot about something so important.

In the past, if one person was full, the whole family wasn't hungry. But that's not possible now, because I have a fiancée now.

He, a grown man, could endure any hardship, but Zhou Caixia was different. She was a woman, and he couldn't let the woman he loved suffer with him.

Therefore, Liu Jia was right; this secure job must be kept.

"Sanzi, I'll listen to you. Even for Caixia's sake, I can't act rashly."

"Brother Li, we haven't reached that point yet, so don't rush things."

As Liu Jia spoke, he searched inside the supply and marketing cooperative.

But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find Li Yurou.

This girl was just here in the household goods section, and now she's vanished in the blink of an eye?

"Brother Li, could you help me look for Xiaoyu? We should head back soon."

"it is good."

Within half an hour, Li Zhenhe and Liu Jia searched the supply and marketing cooperative several times, but still couldn't find the person.

Finally, Liu Jia sat opposite the supply and marketing cooperative, staring intently at the entrance.

Li Zhenhe frowned deeply.

"Sanzi, did that woman run away?"
