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

"Alright, it was all a misunderstanding. Everyone, go ahead and do what you need to buy!"

Seeing that Liu Jia's attitude had relaxed, the person in charge quickly told everyone to disperse.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, people started to get back to what they were doing.

After all, people don't come to the supply and marketing cooperative just to watch the show; buying things is the real purpose.

The people who had been gathered in a group quickly dispersed.

The person in charge spoke a few more words to Guo Xiaoyan, who responded with a few faint "hmm"s before leaving.

Li Zhenhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, my heart was about to jump out of my throat.

Fortunately, he met Guo Xiaoyan, and the crisis was averted.

Otherwise, it's really impossible to predict what will happen next.

That fat woman was really stubborn; she was determined to make things difficult for them!

Where did this woman get such a keen intuition to be so sure they were ticket scalpers?

However, there's no time to think about that right now.

Taking advantage of the improved situation, Liu Jia bought the necessary fabric with Li Zhenhe, and then left with Guo Xiaoyan.

Throughout the entire process, Guo Xiaoyan maintained a faint smile, but as soon as she stepped out of the supply and marketing cooperative, her face fell.

Even when walking, she kept a distance from Liu Jia.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhenhe turned to look at Liu Jia.

"Angry."

"Why are you angry?" Li Zhenhe was still puzzled.

Liu Jia sighed helplessly.

In any case, Liu Jia had lived with Guo Xiaoyan for a period of time and knew her temperament very well.

Without saying a word, he quickened his pace, and even swung his braid behind him as he walked. What else could this be but anger?

"Brother Li, wait for me a moment, I need to go over and say a few words."

While talking to Li Zhenhe, Liu Jia pointed to Guo Xiaoyan, who was walking in front.

"Go on, go on. They've helped us a lot. Don't forget to say thank you when you talk to them later!"

Li Zhenhe didn't forget to give a few words of advice.

Liu Jia nodded and quickened his pace to catch up with Guo Xiaoyan.

"Guo Xiaoyan, thank you for what happened earlier."

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, Guo Xiaoyan rolled her eyes and then let out a cold snort.

"Liu Jia, besides the bamboo basket business, are you doing anything else?"

When will you stop causing me any trouble?

"It's lucky I came today. If I hadn't, would you have been taken to the enforcement team?"

Guo Xiaoyan asked a whole bunch of questions as soon as she opened her mouth.

Her little face was also full of anger.

Liu Jia sighed.

Liu Jia didn't know how to tell Guo Xiaoyan about the source of these cloth coupons.

Even if I recounted the entire situation in detail, Guo Xiaoyan probably wouldn't believe me.

Now, in Guo Xiaoyan's eyes, she is a genuine ticket scalper.

After Liu Jia sighed, Guo Xiaoyan's ears perked up.

I was hoping Liu Jia would say something to explain, but to my surprise, he suddenly fell silent.

"What, don't you want to explain what happened just now?"

"There's nothing to explain. The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty. If you trust me, you don't need me to explain. If you don't trust me, an explanation won't help."

Guo Xiaoyan was so angry she wanted to jump up and down.

How come Liu Jia has changed so much in such a short time?

Is this still the Liu Jia I know from Xili Village?

Guo Xiaoyan stared at Liu Jia, feeling disappointed and frustrated.

"You mean I wronged you?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I don't think I did anything wrong. As for what you're thinking, how would I know?"

"Liu Jia, you've gone too far! Do you know how serious this is? Ticket scalping is a crime!"

"See, you're still treating me like a ticket scalper, aren't you?"

Liu Jia raised an eyebrow and asked indifferently.

Guo Xiaoyan was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

Thinking about how Guo Xiaoyan had just helped him out of a tight spot, and how he had now angered her so much, Liu Jia felt a little guilty, so his expression softened.

"Alright, I was genuinely grateful to you just now. Regardless of the circumstances, you helped us out of that predicament, thank you!"

Guo Xiaoyan turned her head to the side, no longer saying anything angry, but she also didn't give Liu Jia a kind look.

"By the way, what brings you to the Jianshe Supply and Marketing Cooperative? You traveled over twenty miles, it wasn't just to buy things, was it?"

Liu Jia, out of curiosity, couldn't help but ask.

“I came to help my dad with something, and I’m going back home after I’m done. I was thinking of buying some things at the supply and marketing cooperative, but I didn’t expect to run into you.”

"What a coincidence! To be honest, I didn't expect to run into you here. How are you going to get back? How about I carry you back?"

Liu Jia swore that when he asked that question, he really wasn't thinking about anything inappropriate; he was simply acting out of kindness.

The other person helped me, and I just wanted to repay the favor—it's that simple.

Guo Xiaoyan pouted.

"What do you want to do?"

"What could I do, Guo Xiaoyan? Don't always think so badly of people, okay? If I really wanted to do something, wouldn't I have done it when I divorced you? Why would I wait until now?"

This time, it was Liu Jia's turn to roll his eyes.

Guo Xiaoyan was left speechless by the rebuttal.

During the three years Liu Jia lived in Xili Village, he always treated her with utmost care and knew what Liu Jia was thinking.

To be honest, Liu Jia did not do anything out of line during those nearly three years.

Moreover, in order to make himself more comfortable, Liu Jia voluntarily gave up the large kang (heated brick bed) and went to sleep on a small bamboo bed.

Based on this alone, I cannot portray Liu Jia as an utterly wicked person.

But when she thought of those receipts, Guo Xiaoyan's gaze towards Liu Jia took on a more meaningful tone.

"If you don't want me to take you back, then pretend I didn't say anything. Be careful on the way back, we should be going now."

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Jia thought he should go home as soon as possible.

If we're sure Guo Xiaoyan won't ride on our bicycle, we'll turn back now.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Zhenhe's voice suddenly rang out as soon as he finished speaking.

"Waiting for the bus here isn't convenient. Unlike Yecheng, there aren't many bus stops here. Comrade Guo, I think you shouldn't be so picky. Why don't you just let Sanzi take you back?"

Liu Jia was stunned.

He turned to look at Li Zhenhe.

Li Zhenhe scratched his head. "Well, I saw you guys talking non-stop and I got a little worried, so I came over to check on you. I just happened to overhear what you were saying."

Li Zhenhe did not say the rest.

Just then, Liu Jia said he was going to take Guo Xiaoyan away, and he also happened to see that although Guo Xiaoyan was a bit stubborn, she was starting to feel attracted to him.

Since she's too embarrassed to say it, I'll just say it for her.

While the two were still in a daze, Li Zhenhe made the decision for them.

"Okay, let's do it this way and go together."

Guo Xiaoyan frowned, but didn't say anything else harsh, and finally nodded.

As he turned around, Li Zhenhe secretly chuckled at Liu Jia.

Liu Jia smiled helplessly.

This Li Zhenhe suddenly appeared and actually got Guo Xiaoyan to agree to his proposal. This is truly unprecedented!

Guo Xiaoyan used to be so stubborn.

That's a promise, no exceptions.

Especially when speaking to someone, their words always sound like imperial edicts.

Before Liu Jia could finish thinking, Guo Xiaoyan coughed lightly beside him.

Liu Jia composed himself, got on his bicycle, and braced himself with his feet.

Guo Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, but still got on Liu Jia's bicycle.

"Sit still, we're leaving."

As they were talking, the bicycle started to rush forward.

Guo Xiaoyan was taken aback by the speed of the bicycle.

To avoid falling, Guo Xiaoyan gripped the back seat of the bicycle tightly and kept her body straight.

Liu Jia looked at the road in front of him, but his mind was preoccupied with what he should say to Guo Xiaoyan.

He had given Zhou Caixia and Liu Yurou rides on his bicycle, and now he was giving Guo Xiaoyan a ride.

Qiu Zi and Li Zhenhe needless to say.

No matter who was carrying him, Liu Jia had never felt this way before.

When I used to ride my bicycle, I would talk nonstop, chatting about everything under the sun.

But now that Guo Xiaoyan was sitting in the back seat, Liu Jia didn't know what to say.

None of the topics seem appropriate.

Actually, there's really nothing to say.

It's somewhat awkward to have an ex-husband riding his bicycle with his ex-wife on it.

Therefore, Liu Jia had no choice but to speed up.

"Liu Jia, slow down! This road is full of potholes, don't shake Comrade Guo off!"

Li Zhenhe offered an untimely reminder.

Liu Jia had no choice but to reply, "Brother Li, there's no need for so much trouble. Don't you trust my car skills?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jia froze.

I was so busy talking that I didn't even see a... pit not far away!

"Hold on tight, Guo Xiaoyan, hold on tight!"

Liu Jia blurted out those words in a panic, but it was too late to pull back the brakes!

The bicycle jolted violently, followed by a scream from Liu Jia.

"what!"

The excruciating pain made Liu Jia gasp for breath again after he had cried out.

"Guo Xiaoyan, you're trying to strangle me!"

"I kindly brought you back to Yecheng, you don't have to hate me like this!"

"You're trying to murder your ex-husband!"

In his anger, Liu Jia started rambling on and on.
