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

Before Liu Jia could answer, Li Zhenhe opened his mouth again, his eyes wide.

"Sanzi, you're really brave. What if someone died there?"

Liu Jia's lips curled up slightly.

"So what if you've died? Why are you so superstitious?"

"No, this isn't superstition, this...this..."

Li Zhenhe's words were halting and he couldn't finish his sentence after speaking for a long time.

next to.

Peng Shunnian looked at Liu Jia with a hint of approval in his eyes.

good boy!

That's incredibly bold!

How could someone have such a thought!

"Aren't you afraid of those things?"

Since Peng Shunnian also asked this question, Liu Jia chuckled, "Master, what era are we living in? There are no more such nonsense sayings. Let me put it this way, as long as the car is suitable and the price is right, there will be no problem with you."

After hearing Liu Jia's words, Peng Shunnian and Li Zhenhe were immediately relieved.

The two of them found themselves thinking the same thing.

Liu Jia is not old, but he is a man of ideas.

Just that kind of drive makes people willingly follow him forward.

Li Zhenhe tossed his head and decided to go all out.

"Okay, I'll do it your way. If it's suitable, we'll do it!"

Seeing the two children in front of him full of ambition, Peng Shunnian smiled as well.

I just suggested that they buy a car.

However, let alone a new car, even buying a used car is not such a simple matter.

These days, even a tractor is incredibly expensive; it's not something an ordinary person can afford.

Moreover, things like these that burn gas aren't a one-time investment; there are also fuel and maintenance costs later on, and either one is painful to bear.

Tractors are rare items; you can't buy one unless you're the person in charge of the oil flow.

Although the policy has been reformed now, people mostly rent tractors; very few people actually buy them.

Not to mention cars.

While expressing his concern, Peng Shunnian also chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Isn't life all about adventure? As long as you dare to dream, you can encounter anything. Let's keep an eye out and try to help you drive your own cars as soon as possible!"

As the group was talking, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

Liu Jia instinctively thought it was Peng Tianliang returning, but unexpectedly, it was a middle-aged woman.

The woman was holding a net bag containing two cans of food, with a packet of chives on top.

Upon seeing Liu Jia, the woman instinctively paused in surprise.

Peng Shunnian quickly stood up. "Liu Jia, this is your teacher's wife."

Before Liu Jia could speak, Li Zhenhe, who was standing to the side, called out "Auntie."

The woman quickly responded and then looked towards Liu Jia.

"You must be Liu Jia. It's great to see you now. I've often heard your master talk about you. You're quite different from what I imagined."

Liu Jia approached the woman, respectfully addressed her as "Master's Wife," and then asked, "Master's Wife, why is what I thought different from what you thought?"

"Your master said you're adventurous and resourceful. I was thinking you'd be a big, burly guy with dark skin, but I never expected you to be such a handsome young man!"

Liu Jia felt a little embarrassed by Peng Shunnian's wife's praise and didn't know what to say for a moment.

next to.

Li Zhenhe's brows were furrowed into a knot.

Big and burly?

Is your skin still a bit dark?

Isn't that talking about himself?

Looking down at himself, Li Zhenhe coughed awkwardly twice.

After Peng Shunnian's wife recovered from her shock, she burst into laughter.

"I wasn't talking about you, I wasn't talking about you, don't take it to heart. You've come all this way, you absolutely have to eat here. I'll make you three-ingredient dumplings today!"

From just a few words, Liu Jia could tell that his teacher's wife was a cheerful and straightforward person.

His words and actions reveal his simple and warm nature.

Three-ingredient dumplings are delicious, and Liu Jia wants to eat them too, but now is not the right time.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Master's wife, but we should leave early today. Let's do it next time. When we have time next time, I'll make dumplings with you!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I can make dumplings really fast, they'll be ready in no time."

Peng Shunnian's wife thought that Liu Jia was just embarrassed, which was why he said that.

Li Zhenhe explained, "Auntie, we really need to leave early today. This car is rented, and we've been paying for it while we're talking."

"What? Is that true?" Peng Shunnian's wife stared wide-eyed in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

Li Zhenhe nodded again.

"I'm not kidding you, after we finish our business, we still have to return the car to the owner, so we really can't eat your dumplings today. When we have time later, I will definitely let Sanzi try your cooking."

Having said all that, Peng Shunnian and his wife felt it inappropriate to keep Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe any longer.

After exchanging a few simple words, the couple saw them to the door.

Next, the two quickly dealt with the follow-up work and then drove towards Yecheng.

along the way.

Li Zhenhe didn't mention buying a car to Liu Jia, but instead asked another question.

Admission notice.

"I heard from Caixia that you took the college entrance exam. Your acceptance letter should be coming soon, right?"

When the college entrance examination was mentioned, Liu Jia's face turned serious again.

Now, a month has passed since the college entrance examination.

If a notification letter is to be issued, it should be this month.

But Liu Jia didn't know the exact date.

"Just wait, if there's any news, we'll definitely send the notification to the village."

Seeing Liu Jia's calm demeanor, Li Zhenhe's face showed curiosity again.

"Sanzi, why are you so confident? Is the college entrance exam this year's questions really that easy? I heard people say that this year's questions were much harder than last year's?"

Li Zhenhe did not take the college entrance examination, but many employees in the supply and marketing cooperative did.

It is said that this year has seen the highest number of working professionals taking the college entrance examination.

By next year, they should all be recent graduates.

After the college entrance examination was over, the supply and marketing cooperative was bustling for several days.

Some people say those questions are okay, but others say that when they see chemistry and physics questions, it's like a dream, and they can't understand them at all.

When asked when he would receive his acceptance letter, Liu Jia remained calm.

This made Li Zhenhe feel that this year's college entrance examination questions should be relatively simple.

"It's not exactly easy, but if you review thoroughly, it won't be that difficult."

"What about chemistry and physics?"

Liu Jia turned to look at Li Zhenhe.

"This is not a strong point for rural people. Many people find it difficult to understand, simply because they have little exposure to it."

"To put it simply, city dwellers still have an advantage in physics and chemistry, since rural areas are relatively backward in terms of experimental equipment."

Liu Jia explained it in great detail, and Li Zhenhe understood it immediately.

Experimental equipment is practically nonexistent in rural areas.

How many points can you get by just memorizing the details and precautions in the experiment?

It's mainly an experiment.

That makes sense; city dwellers do indeed have some advantages.

"What about math?"

Li Zhenhe became curious again.

Liu Jia shook his head. "That's a typical case where what you know isn't difficult, and what you don't know is difficult."

"That's a good point. I'm completely clueless when it comes to math. When I was studying, I even thought about getting tutoring, but after looking at it for a long time, I didn't know where to start. I really didn't know anything."

"You were daydreaming in class, weren't you? You've fallen behind."

"Yes, yes, if you don't understand one part, you won't understand anything after that."

When the topic of the college entrance examination came up, Liu Jia began to seriously consider it.

College admission notices will be issued this month, so be careful and avoid any mishaps.

Now, everyone appears to be behaving properly, but that's during the day.

As night falls, who knows what kind of strange people and strange things might happen?

Those filthy things that can't be seen or done happen at night!

"By the way, Brother Li, your marriage with Caixia is settled. Hurry up and find a date to marry her, okay?"

Liu Jia then changed the subject, directly bringing up Li Zhenhe's marriage to Zhou Caixia.

"I'd be willing, but the key is to listen to Caixia."

"What do you mean?"

“Caixia said that it wouldn’t sound good for her to get married before her sister’s marriage is settled.”

Liu Jia frowned.

What Li Zhenhe said was indeed a matter.

Generally speaking, the eldest son's wedding is completed first, followed by the second son's.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the second child getting married before the first child.

But unless it's absolutely unavoidable, no one would marry off the younger one first.

The main reason is that it doesn't sound good.

At the very least, if the family is strapped for cash, they will choose to get married in the same year.

It's likely that Zhou Caixia took this into consideration.

"But Zhou Caijuan doesn't even have a boyfriend right now. Are you going to keep waiting? How long will that take?"

"I don't know either. After I found out about this, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. I thought that after the engagement, I could marry her. I didn't expect this to happen."

Thinking about how long he would have to wait before he could marry Zhou Caixia, Li Zhenhe sighed anxiously to himself.

"Don't worry, I'll find out what Uncle Zhou thinks later. Maybe this is just Caixia's idea."

Li Zhenhe saw a glimmer of hope.

But then I felt that doing so was inappropriate.

Zhou Caijuan is currently single, while her younger sister Zhou Caixia got married first. People in the village love to gossip, and if things go wrong, Zhou Caijuan might be called an old maid.

Not to mention the other unpleasant things said.

I can't just think about myself; I also have to think about my sister-in-law.

At this point, Li Zhenhe also began to feel conflicted.

As they approached Xili Village, Li Zhenhe's eyes lit up when he saw the lush trees in front of him.

"Sanzi, let's not talk about these things now. It's not completely dark yet. Let's use this cart to haul some bamboo. We can just return it tonight anyway, so why not take it?"

Liu Jia raised an eyebrow.

"Is this okay?"

"Why not? This whole trip will save so much effort! Just do it this way, listen to me!"

"Alright, let's drive straight to the factory, and I'll get Zhao Xiaochao and the others to start cutting bamboo right away!"

"Find more people, or even pay them wages if necessary, we have to make sure this car is put to good use and truly serves its purpose!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhenhe and Liu Jia both burst into laughter.

It's time to wrap up work in the afternoon.

At this time of year, it's incredibly easy to find people to cut bamboo.

Before even arriving at the factory, Liu Jia had already come up with several suitable candidates.

We need to find someone strong, quick, and young!

Liu Jia hadn't expected that, even though the harvest season in the fields had passed, he would have to rush to harvest again in the bamboo grove!

Just imagining everyone scrambling to cut bamboo, it must have been incredibly lively!

"It's lively, isn't it? Lively is great!"

Liu Jia grinned, and his whole demeanor became lively again.

Three minutes later.

Liu Jia had just parked his car at the factory entrance when Zhou Caixia suddenly ran out of the factory.

"Third Brother, you're finally back! Hurry inside and see what's happened!"

Zhou Caixia was covered in sweat and was panting heavily as she spoke.

Seeing Zhou Caixia's nervousness, Li Zhenhe quickly jumped out of the car.

"What's wrong?"
