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

As Liu Jia walked back, he kept thinking about Zhou Caixia.

The Zhou family and the Liu family are very close.

In her past life, Zhou Caixia had been kind to her, and considering her current relationship with Li Zhenhe, Liu Jia thought she had to make sure their wedding was a grand and successful affair.

Otherwise, you'd be letting yourself down.

Zhou Caixia and Li Zhenhe's matchmaker is now set in stone.

But Liu Jia was completely clueless about how to proceed with the engagement.

Liu Jia thought about his marriage to Guo Xiaoyan for a long time, trying to figure something out, but after thinking it over, he still felt it was not appropriate.

Although only three years have passed, many things have changed.

Besides, my wedding with Guo Xiaoyan was very simple.

By the standards of that time, it would have been absolutely unacceptable.

When Guo Xiaoyan married him, she didn't ask for a dowry. She simply made two sets of clothes, bought a pair of enamel mugs, a washbasin, and a thermos, and that was considered their wedding.

Of course, treating the villagers to a meal is essential.

Now that Li Zhenhe wants to marry Zhou Caixia, it absolutely won't be that simple!

No matter what, it has to be done in style and glory.

Liu Jia bit her lip, trying to figure out how to make sense of it.

Finally, he decided to ask his parents about the current situation of engagements in the village first, and then go to Zhou Fengshou's house after he had figured it out.

Zhou Fengshou wasn't an old-fashioned person, and besides, he was quite satisfied with his son-in-law Li Zhenhe. As the production team leader of Xili Village, he shouldn't make any excessive demands.

Having made up his mind, Liu Jia quickened his pace on his bicycle.

But after speeding along for a short while, Liu Jia suddenly noticed someone waving at him from not far away.

The arm was being waved violently, clearly aimed at me.

Liu Jia frowned, squinting as he tried to see clearly who was in front of him.

The bicycle traveled a few more meters before Liu Jia could see the person in front of him clearly.

It was Zhang Yanzi!

Upon seeing that face, Liu Jia instinctively let out a cold snort.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but since it was Zhang Yanzi waving, Liu Jia not only thought he wouldn't stop, but he also wanted to pedal even harder for two more laps!

"Liu Jia, Liu Jia, stop!"

Zhang Yanzi waved her arm again and shouted out loud.

Liu Jia pretended not to see it.

Just then, Zhang Yanzi suddenly rushed towards Liu Jia.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

Liu Jia quickly turned the handlebars, thus avoiding hitting Zhang Yanzi.

Thankfully, Zhang Yanzi in front of him was a woman; if she were a man, Liu Jia would have liked to kick her to the ground.

They're so blind!

I've seen people who are blind to reason, but I've never seen anyone this blind.

"What are you doing, hitting my car in broad daylight! Are you trying to stage an accident?"

"What? What? You're trying to scam me? Liu Jia, what are you saying? I don't understand what you're saying."

"Whether you understand or not, get out of my way!"

Liu Jia, annoyed, hooked his foot onto the pedal and started to ride forward.

However, Zhang Yanzi suddenly grabbed Liu Jia's bicycle handlebars.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

Liu Jia's anger flared up instantly, and his face turned extremely ugly.

There's absolutely no need to give Zhang Yanzi a friendly look.

To put it bluntly, these kinds of people will take any face you give them!

Back then, I was thinking of rescuing Zhang Yanzi from under the claws of the big hammer, but who would have thought that Zhang Yanzi would try to bite back!

Not only did she ruin her own reputation, but she also wanted me to marry her!

There's absolutely no need to give face to people like that!

Just as Liu Jia was about to yell "Get lost!", Zhang Yanzi suddenly spoke up pitifully.

"Liu Jia, listen to me. I was wrong. I shouldn't have wronged you. I've been thinking about apologizing to you all this time, but I haven't had the chance."

"I know you hate me, but I had no choice at the time. I actually like you. I was blinded by greed and just wanted to build a family with you."

"I didn't think that much about it. I don't want to put any false accusations on you. I really didn't mean it, Liu Jia, you have to believe me!"

Liu Jia turned to look at Zhang Yanzi and suddenly laughed.

However, her smile was cold, and her voice was chilling.

Zhang Yanzi gasped and instinctively took a step back, but she didn't let go of his hand.

"Zhang Yanzi, we're from the same village, although one of us lives in the east and the other in the west. I've heard a lot about you, so don't try to play the victim here. I don't want to see it!"

"Why don't you believe what I'm saying? Back then, all your attention was on Guo Xiaoyan. You have no idea that I didn't sleep a wink the night you married her. My eyes were swollen from staying up all night!"

Liu Jia sneered inwardly.

What does it have to do with me that you didn't sleep all night?

So what if my eyes are swollen from staying up all night? I deserve to go blind!

Your heartless behavior doesn't deserve any sympathy at all!

"Zhang Yanzi, stop talking nonsense and just get out of here!"

Liu Jia's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was incredibly cold.

When things are going well, Zhang Yanzi always manages to turn the tables on him. Now that he's alone with someone like Zhang Yanzi, Liu Jia doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

The only solution is to stay away from this person.

But Zhang Yanzi seemed determined, gripping Liu Jia's handlebars tightly and refusing to let go.

"Okay, I know you hate me to the core. I have nothing more to say. I've said everything I needed to say. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I really can't walk anymore. Could you lead me a short distance?"

"What, bring you along? Are you kidding me!"

Liu Jia spoke frankly, showing Zhang Yanzi no leeway whatsoever.

He couldn't wait to get as far away from Zhang Yanzi as possible, and she actually wanted to ride on his bicycle? Dream on!

"My bicycle is broken, it can't carry anyone on the back. If you can't walk anymore, just rest for a while and don't try to take my bicycle."

Seeing Liu Jia's ruthlessness, Zhang Yanzi almost cried.

"How can you be like this? No matter what, we're from the same village. Aren't you going to help me? I'm a woman, and I'm in this state. You really don't plan to help me?"

"This is moral blackmail. What's wrong with women? We live in a society of gender equality now. Women can hold up half the sky. Why can others persevere but you can't?"

Liu Jia retorted mercilessly, then grabbed Zhang Yanzi's sleeve and flung it away.

Zhang Yanzi's arm was immediately flung to the side!

Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't bother with any physical contact with Zhang Yanzi.

But in order to leave as soon as possible, Liu Jia had no other choice but to do this!

Even after squeezing Zhang Yanzi's clothes with both hands, Liu Jia still felt disgusted!

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Before Zhang Yanzi could figure out what was going on, her hand, which was gripping Liu Jia's handlebars, was thrown aside.

By the time they realized what was happening, Liu Jia had already ridden away on his bicycle!

"Liu Jia, how could you be like this? You have no sense of helping others at all!"

Zhang Yanzi pouted and complained, then stood on tiptoe and called out to Liu Jia as he walked away.

Liu Jia wished he could spit on the ground.

However, at that moment, he was only focused on pushing forward with all his might, and had no time to vent his anger.

And this supposedly helpful style? Does she even deserve to speak like that?

Whether I, Liu Jia, am willing to help others depends on who the person is.

Others can.

But you, Zhang Yanzi, absolutely not!

If I believed what you said and actually dragged you to Xili Village on my bicycle, I'd be a fool!

Now, everyone in Xili Village knows that Zhang Yanzi is engaged to Da Chuizi.

The reason for the engagement is obvious to many.

People didn't say it, but it was because Zhang Yanzi's behavior was too low-class.

In addition, since Big Hammer's family wasn't well-liked, everyone was happy to watch the show.

If I really carry Zhang Yanzi back, won't Xili Village be in an uproar?

I'm an innocent person, really, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn't clear my name!

Only a fool would do something so stupid!

Seeing that the bicycle had gone quite a distance ahead, Liu Jia turned around.

Only when Zhang Yanzi was out of sight did a smile appear on his face.

Finally, we've gotten rid of this clingy pest!

When Liu Jia got home, he felt that both his legs were sore.

First, he rode his bicycle to the city, then picked up Guo Xiaoyan and drove more than 20 miles to the Construction Supply and Marketing Cooperative. When he came back, he also brought Guo Xiaoyan with him.

This trip has really made me feel quite tired.

Despite being tired, there was still important business to attend to.

So as soon as he entered, before even putting his bicycle on, Liu Jia shouted something.

"Mom, are you home?"

There was no movement in the courtyard.

Liu Jia figured that his family members must have gone to work at the production team.

"Never mind, let me drink some water and calm down, I'm exhausted."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhang Guilan's voice suddenly came over.

"You're drinking cold water as soon as you get back, aren't you afraid of getting an upset stomach? There's some cooled boiled water in the house, you can drink it now, have a drink first."

"Mom, are you home? I called you just now, why didn't you answer?"

As Liu Jia spoke, he hurriedly walked into the north room.

Zhang Guilan had already brought out a bowl of water.

"I didn't hear you just now, what's wrong?"

Seeing Liu Jia covered in sweat, Zhang Guilan asked with concern.

Liu Jia didn't speak. He first took the bowl, drank the water in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then said, "I want to ask you something. How much dowry do we give in our village now if we want to get married?"

Zhang Guilan was taken aback, and her voice became excited as she spoke.

"Sanzi, what's going on? You have a girlfriend?"

"Mother, it's Zhou Caixia."

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, Zhang Guilan swayed violently. Fortunately, she managed to grab the door frame in time, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

"Sanzi, Caixia has a boyfriend. What are you doing? Isn't her boyfriend Li Zhenhe? That's your brother's wife! Why are you thinking about your brother's wife!"

Liu Jia was speechless, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.
