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

"Are you kidding me? You think I'll understand you based on just a few words?"

"What era are we living in? You still want to marry two wives? Dream on!"

At first, Liu Jia was able to listen to what Zhao Bin had to say.

But by the end, Liu Jia felt an urge to slap him across the face!

What kind of situation is this?

Xiaofang's family has been kind to you; you can't let Xiaofang down.

Then you should treat them well.

Why are you bothering Guo Xiaolan?

And they even asked me to cooperate and not tell Guo Zhiyuan?

If things turn around, do you still want to see Guo Zhiyuan's future father-in-law?

You're dreaming too much!

Liu Jia never imagined that all he wanted to do was find out about the relationship between Zhao Bin and that girl.

Unexpectedly, such a shocking revelation has been revealed!

Liu Jia's expression gradually turned ugly.

Across from him, Zhao Bin's heart was in his throat.

Whether Liu Jia would agree was a turning point in his life.

Although Liu Jia sternly rejected him, Zhao Bin still held onto a sliver of hope.

Swallowing hard, Zhao Bin's voice was almost a plea.

"Liu Jia, just think of this as doing a good deed and don't let it get out of the picture. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you. I will also handle things here as soon as possible. Can you give me some time?"

Liu Jia glanced at Zhao Bin disdainfully, then stood up.

I despise people like that.

Talking to someone like him is a complete waste of time.

Now that he had figured out what was going on, Liu Jia didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.

Liu Jia flung Zhao Bin's arm away and said coldly, "Your affairs are none of my business, but don't expect me to go along with you."

"What do you mean? Do you really want to tell Guo Xiaolan about this? Liu Jia, what have I done to offend you?"

Zhao Bin's words reminded Liu Jia of the time in the library when he aggressively questioned Guo Xiaolan about why she wouldn't eat the fried dough twists he had brought her.

Back then, that relentless mentality was no different from now.

However, while Guo Xiaolan might be easily manipulated by Zhao Bin, what about himself, a grown man? If he were to be led by the nose by Zhao Bin, wouldn't that make him a laughingstock?

Liu Jia continued to sneer.

"You haven't offended me, and I don't want to cause trouble for you. Let me put it this way: if you provoke me, I won't provoke you either. You'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, Liu Jia left.

Just then, Xiaofang came out.

"Brother Zhao Bin, why did your colleague leave? I've already steamed the rice, and it's almost noon. I need to eat at home!"

Zhao Bin felt a surge of annoyance and glared at Xiao Fang.

"Don't pry into men's affairs. If he left, he left. He must have had something to do."

Seeing that Zhao Bin was unhappy, Xiao Fang didn't dare to say anything more and silently turned around and went back into the house.

Looking at the basket of green beans, Zhao Bin felt incredibly disgusted.

About ten minutes later, Liu Jia returned to the state-run hotel.

The fried pancakes had turned into a clump, and the soup we ordered was cold.

What made Liu Jia both amused and exasperated was that Li Zhenhe didn't eat a single bite while waiting for the fried pancake in front of him.

It's summer now, so eating something cold isn't a big deal for Liu Jia and his group.

In winter, you have to eat something that makes your stomach uncomfortable.

"You've been gone for quite a while. I went outside and walked around several times, but I couldn't even see a trace of you. I had no choice but to come back."

As Li Zhenhe spoke, he glanced at Liu Jia, his eyes practically overflowing with doubt.

Liu Jia touched his head.

"Brother Li, the situation was really urgent just now, and I saw an acquaintance here."

"Who? Cao Xiangyang?"

Seeing that Liu Jia didn't show any joy when talking about acquaintances, Li Zhenhe immediately thought of Cao Xiangyang.

So, I asked the question almost instinctively.

"No, it's someone I just met recently, named Zhao Bin."

Liu Jia sat down opposite Li Zhenhe, picked up his chopsticks, took two big bites of fried pancake, drank a sip of soup, smoothed his throat, and then began to talk about Zhao Bin.

Li Zhenhe, sitting opposite, listened in a daze.

Liu Jia had already spoken halfway through, but Li Zhenhe was still staring blankly.

"Eat up. You've been waiting for me for so long, aren't you hungry? Let's eat and talk."

He had already eaten half a bowl of his own fried pancakes, but Li Zhenhe hadn't touched his at all.

Looking at Liu Jia, he quickly added, "You don't want to eat this kind of food, do you? Why don't we put the soup in and stir it?"

“No, I don’t have that habit,” Li Zhenhe said, picking up his chopsticks and stirring the fried pancakes. “What you’re talking about really seems strange.”

"I think so too. It's really outrageous that something like this could happen here, so far from Ye City."

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you mean, what should we do? We should just do what needs to be done. Actually, I was just curious at the time. You know, that guy blocked my car, right? I was so angry! I really wanted to slap him!"

Liu Jia told Li Zhenhe.

If Zhao Bin hadn't insisted that I reveal my relationship with Guo Xiaolan, I wouldn't have been so angry.

If it weren't for what happened back then, even if I had met Zhao Bin in Qinglan Town, I would have at most glanced at him, and I would never have followed him for more than a few steps.

After learning what had happened, Liu Jia and Li Zhen ate much faster.

We exited the restaurant.

Li Zhenhe patted Liu Jia on the shoulder.

"Sanzi, don't take that incident to heart. We don't go looking for trouble, but if trouble does come, we're not afraid! We'll just fight it out!"

Liu Jia burst out laughing.

What's going on?

How come I didn't notice Li Zhenhe's strong江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) aura before?

All he talks about is doing.

That was... so exhilarating!

"Okay, I got it. With his small frame, I really don't take him seriously if it really comes down to a fight!"

"To be honest, the Guo Xiaoyan sisters are quite strange. Why can't they ever meet good people? The younger sister is like this, and now the older sister is like this..."

Before Li Zhenhe could finish speaking, Liu Jia quickly corrected him.

"Stop, stop, stop! We can't say that. I admit that Cao Xiangyang isn't a good guy, but Zhao Bin isn't a good person either."

"But Brother Li, I, Liu Jia, am right here. You can't say I'm not a good person either, can you?"

"You don't count."

"Why doesn't that count? I'm still your ex-husband, after all. An ex-husband was once a husband, wasn't he?"

As soon as he asked the question, Liu Jia laughed at himself.

My ex-husband is really a bit of a loser.

Aside from marrying Guo Xiaoyan, treating her like a princess, and having a husband in name only, there was nothing else...

There are probably not many ex-husbands like that.

Seeing Liu Jia smile, Li Zhenhe also smiled.

"Okay, okay, I admit your ex-husband is a good person."

The two walked forward while talking.

With Liu Jia going to find Zhao Bin, almost all the time has already been wasted.

Liu Zhenhe didn't bring it up again. They decided to take a look around and buy some rare items. The two of them headed straight for the next supply and marketing cooperative.

It wasn't until after 3 p.m. that Li Zhenhe and Liu Jia arrived at Peng Shunnian's place.

"master!"

"Uncle!"

As soon as they reached the door, Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe spoke at the same time.

Li Zhenhe has a loud voice, and since he's shouting at the top of his lungs, he completely drowned out Liu Jia's voice.

Just as Liu Jia rolled his eyes, Peng Shunnian hurriedly walked over.

"I heard the shouting from inside the house and ran out as fast as I could. It really is you guys. Why are you here now? It would have been better if you had come in the morning, then I could have cooked you a meal."

Peng Shunnian looked at Liu Jia, then at Li Zhenhe, and his eyes crinkled with laughter.

For some reason, Peng Shunnian always feels a sense of familiarity whenever he sees Liu Jia.

It felt like I'd seen it before.

This is why Peng Shunnian wanted to take Liu Jia as his apprentice the first time he saw him.

"Sir, we've already eaten. We have many delivery locations, and it's not convenient for us to come in the morning, so we can only postpone it until the afternoon."

Upon hearing Liu Jia's explanation, Peng Shunnian suddenly understood.

"Oh, is that so? Come inside quickly, have a drink of water, and I'll help you unload the goods in a bit."

The baskets are selling very well here, and Peng Shunnian is also busy helping out.

Peng Shunnian thought he would have nothing to do after retirement, but he didn't expect to be able to keep busy like before, which made him much more energetic.

“Uncle, we’ve already had some water on the way. You can use the key to open the gate, and Sanzi and I can unload the goods.”

"No way, I'll go with you."

Peng Shunnian, not one to admit he was getting old, grabbed a work uniform along with him when he went to get the keys.

It seems they're determined to help.

Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe were already quick, and now with Peng Shunnian joining them, it didn't take long for the basket, which was nearly half full, to be unloaded.

The three of them breathed a long sigh of relief after the cargo was unloaded.

Back inside, Peng Shunnian warmly greeted Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe.

Upon learning that the delivery vehicle was rented, Peng Shunnian immediately suggested that they buy a car.

Li Zhenhe was startled.

The bowl in my hand almost fell onto the coffee table.

"What? Uncle, you didn't say it was just for fun, did you? Buying a car is no small matter! How much will it cost?"

Peng Shunnian glanced at Li Zhenhe, and finally fixed his gaze on Liu Jia.

"A new car does cost a lot of money, and even if you have the money, you may not be able to buy one."

"But you can buy a used car, right? Wouldn't that save you a lot of money?"

"For people like you, running back and forth every few days, how can you manage without a car? It's really inconvenient."

"Actually, it's not about buying now. Buying a used car depends on the timing. I'll buy it whenever a suitable one comes along."

Peng Shunnian's words made Liu Jia's eyes light up.

“Yes, the master is right. We will definitely need a car in the future, so let’s get one! It’s just that information is not readily available in different places right now, and I’m afraid we’ll miss the opportunity.”

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, Li Zhenhe stood up abruptly.

The metal stool beneath his buttocks also made a loud "clang"!

It's fallen!

"Sanzi, are you really going to buy a car?"

“The driver is right. We can’t do without a vehicle. We can’t keep renting vehicles. But it’s too inconvenient to deliver goods by bicycle. If we find a suitable one, we will definitely buy it.”

Li Zhen opened his mouth, but couldn't find any words to refute it.

After bending down to pick up the metal stool and sitting down again, he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Whatever you say goes."

"I'll also try to think of something for you. If I find a suitable used car, I'll let you know."

Liu Jia chuckled, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"Then we'll have to ask Master to put in a lot of effort on this matter. He's here guarding the machinery factory, so his information network is definitely wider than it is in Yecheng."

"Don't worry, I'll find out for you."

These few words stirred Liu Jia's emotions once again.

These days, if someone owns a bicycle, the villagers will talk about it for half a year.

If we bring a car back, wouldn't that cause an uproar?

Although their target is a used car, a used car is still a car, and it can still be stylish to drive!

Most importantly, their transportation problem was solved; that's the fundamental solution!

After calming down, Liu Jia looked at Li Zhenhe again.

"Actually, when it comes to used cars, the supply and marketing cooperative is also a channel. It's just that your cars are always on the go, so the wear and tear is definitely greater than that of cars from other units."

"However, we can't completely ignore this."

"It's best to choose a newer one. After all, a new one is strong for three years, and it's meant to be used for a long time."

"If there's a new car that's been in an accident, that would be ideal."

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, Li Zhenhe jumped up again.

"What?! You dare to buy a car that's been in an accident?!"
