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

"Ah."

Worried about waking his parents, Liu Jianye lowered his voice and quickly responded.

Liu Jia put on his clothes and walked out.

Just as he was about to leave, he bumped right into Liu Jianye.

Subsequently, Liu Yutian and Zhang Guilan also came out one after another.

Looking at the people in the room, Liu Jianye felt a surge of emotion.

Everyone must have stayed up all night because of their own affairs.

"Don't just stand there, what happened? Is your father-in-law alright?" Liu Yutian quickly asked.

Liu Jianye shook his head. "It's nothing. My head is a little hot, I might be feeling a bit uncomfortable. I think I've still managed to cover up most of it."

Liu Jia listened quietly, and only after Liu Jianye sat down did Liu Jia ask, "So what do they mean by asking you to come over?"

Originally, Liu Jianye wanted to explain things slowly, but after hearing Liu Jia's question, he could no longer control his emotions.

All the anger I had accumulated in the middle of the night was finally released.

"Sanzi, you're absolutely right. What do you think their family is thinking? Isn't that old Cui afraid I'll look down on him?"

"He said this year has been unlucky, with one misfortune after another happening in his family. He also said that this year is his birth year in the Chinese zodiac, and he's afraid it's going to pass."

"He went on and on, and in the end, he even told me to get a red plum blossom to bring him good luck!"

"What era are we living in? They're still using feudal superstitions. I wanted to leave right then and there; I couldn't stand it for a second longer!"

Liu Yutian and Zhang Guilan were stunned.

A wedding for good fortune?

Where is this going?

This is a new society now, how could Old Cui have gone back to the old ways?

Inside the room, Liu Yutian and Zhang Guilan stared at each other, Liu Jianye looked disdainful, and only Liu Jia remained calm.

Just as I expected.

This is the method Old Cui uses!

They really wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal; they would come up with any method to get their second brother to marry Cui Hongmei!

"Brother, did you make them sign a written agreement?"

"I wrote it, take a look!"

As Liu Jianye spoke, he took out a piece of paper and the pen that Liu Jia had given him earlier.

"I won't read it. You keep the note safe so they won't deny it later."

The others felt the note was heavy, after all, it contained important information.

But in Liu Jia's view, this was just a scare tactic.

In terms of actual legal effectiveness, it's still a bit lacking.

Something is better than nothing.

Moreover, these days, people's legal awareness is relatively weak, and they are all afraid to actually bring up evidence to file a lawsuit.

Of course, it's better not to reach that stage.

Liu Jianye folded the note and sighed silently.

“Father and Mother, I’m too lazy to get entangled with them anymore. I can’t do things like playing tricks. When I see Hongmei later, we’ll discuss it and see if we can just get married.”

"You two can discuss it. You're both getting on in years, and you've already wasted a lot of time, so just get married."

Previously, the Cui family wouldn't budge, but now that they finally have this opportunity, they might as well take advantage of it and get it done.

Liu Yutian's expression relaxed.

Liu Jia also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, brother, you should go back to your room and get some sleep. You can't stay up like this. Let Mom and Dad get some more sleep too."

Hearing Liu Jia say that, Liu Jianye rubbed his face and then yawned.

"Now that you mention it, I'm a little sleepy too. I'll take a nap for a bit. Parents, you should rest too!"

"Go on, go on, lie down for a while."

Seeing her son looking so haggard, Zhang Guilan almost pushed him into the house out of her distress.

With the matter settled, the elderly couple finally felt relieved.

Finally, I can rest properly for a while; this can be considered a nap.

With a weight lifted from their hearts, the whole family slept soundly, and Zhang Guilan slept until sunrise for the first time.

After finishing their meal, Liu Jianye went to the city, while Liu Jia went to the factory.

Zhao Xiaochao reads very slowly; while others can skim through ten lines at a glance, he scrutinizes each word one by one.

Seeing that he couldn't even turn a single page of the book for a long time, Liu Jia became anxious.

"Look, hurry up, this sentence doesn't say anything, you can just skim over it. You know, even though you're reading, you don't know it, we thought you were dozing off!"

Liu Jia urged him on from the side, making Zhao Xiaochao even more nervous.

"Third Brother, don't rush me. I need to figure out what this means. Look at this name, it's a whole string of characters, and I still haven't memorized it."

Are you reciting a text?

"No, but I still have to memorize the names!"

Zhao Xiaochao answered quite fluently, leaving Liu Jia speechless.

In the end, all Liu Jia could say was, "Good, commendable spirit, not bad."

Zhao Xiaochao chuckled and watched with even greater interest.

While flipping through the book, Zhao Xiaochao muttered to himself, "If my sister Rou saw how hard I was studying, she would definitely buy us sesame cakes again."

Liu Jia raised an eyebrow. Ha, you're getting all cocky after I just praised you a couple of times.

At your reading speed, you still want to eat sesame seed cakes?

Go eat your fart!

However, Zhao Xiaochao's words reminded Liu Jia of Liu Yurou.

It's been a while since I've seen this little girl, and I wonder what she's been up to.

Last time, I was thinking of going on an adventure with Li Zhenhe to Old Liu's place to rescue Liu Yurou, but I didn't expect that we wouldn't be able to go.

What did Liu Yurou say in the end?

That girl said she would contact them when she had time, but there's been no word from her since.

Will it be circled again?

I've been so busy lately that I haven't thought about it that way, but now the more I think about it, the more something seems off.

"Little Chaozi, has your sister Rou contacted you recently?"

"No, we brothers have all been at the factory lately and haven't been to the city. How can we keep in touch? What happened? Did something happen to Third Brother?"

Zhao Xiaochao picked up a leaf from the table, tucked it into the book, and carefully closed it.

After putting the book down, I was fully prepared and ready to go.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just thinking that I've missed her a lot since I haven't seen her for a while."

Upon hearing Liu Jia's words, Zhao Xiaochao nodded vigorously, like a pestle being pounded.

"Third Brother, we miss Sister Rou too. When you see her, please give her our regards!"

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

As Liu Jia walked out, he was thinking that he should find an opportunity to see Liu Yurou.

Knowing that the little girl was alright, I felt relieved.

……

Guo Xiaolan is off work today.

Last night, the two sisters talked for most of the night.

Guo Xiaolan believes that what happened at the supply and marketing cooperative was a misunderstanding.

However, Guo Xiaoyan believed that they should be vigilant and not fall into the trap of those with ulterior motives.

Finally, Guo Xiaolan hesitated before telling Guo Xiaoyan that the person was very likely Zhao Bin.

Guo Xiaoyan made a statement on the spot.

If that person is Zhao Bin, I'll secretly refuse to agree to the marriage!

You can't spend your whole life with someone who has bad character; in the end, you'll only suffer.

Seeing that it was a pit of fire, I absolutely wouldn't allow my sister to jump in!

After expressing her stance, Guo Xiaoyan fell asleep.

But Guo Xiaolan didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning until dawn.

Seeing that Guo Xiaolan was in low spirits during breakfast, Guo Xiaoyan suggested that they go for a walk outside.

"The weather isn't too hot today, so let's stay here for a bit and then come back. It'll be a good way to relax. You can't always stay cooped up at home."

Guo Xiaoyan didn't say the rest.

After learning about this, the whole family was worried, but Guo Xiaolan felt extremely guilty, and Guo Xiaoyan even regretted telling the news in advance.

Perhaps Liu Jia is right; there are indeed some clues, and it's not too late to speak out then.

At least this way, Guo Xiaolan won't feel too bad.

Thinking of Liu Jia, Guo Xiaoyan shook her head again, as if trying to shake off all the unpleasant emotions in her heart.

"Yan'er, why don't you come with Mom? I'll stay home and tidy up."

"What's there to tidy up? Your room is spotless, there's no need to tidy up. Let's go!"

Guo Xiaoyan forcibly pulled Guo Xiaolan outside.

Guo Xiaolan had no choice but to agree.

Since returning to the city, the two sisters haven't really taken a proper walk around.

Seeing the once familiar streets transformed, both of them were filled with emotion.

"Sister, do you remember this street? There used to be a place here that sold fried dough twists."

Guo Xiaoyan blinked as she thought, trying hard to recall the taste of the fried dough twist.

Guo Xiaolan hummed in agreement.

"Several years have passed, and the old man who made the twisted dough sticks may no longer be around."

"Yes, a person's life is only a few decades long, and it will pass in the blink of an eye. When I think about this, my heart feels heavy. I am always worried that when I leave this world, there will still be many things I haven't done."

Guo Xiaolan was very puzzled by Guo Xiaoyan's sentimentality.

“Yan’er, you are not an indecisive person. If we really have to say what regrets will be left behind, it should be me.”

Guo Xiaolan sounded dejected, and lowered her head again as she spoke.

Upon seeing this, Guo Xiaoyan quickly smiled.

"Look at us, what are we saying? We must seize every minute and second, and absolutely not leave any regrets, otherwise we'll have lived in vain!"

Perhaps Guo Xiaoyan's emotions affected Guo Xiaolan, and a light shone in Guo Xiaolan's eyes again.

Suddenly, Guo Xiaolan pointed to a spot not far away and exclaimed, "Yan'er, look over there! What are all those people doing?"

People were coming and going on the street, but Guo Xiaolan didn't pay any special attention to anyone.

But the bump on that person not far away was extremely conspicuous.

Eight or nine people, who looked like they had been specially trained, stood together, all standing ramrod straight.

Guo Xiaoyan also looked puzzled.

"I don't know either, shall we go and take a look?"

"Since we're going to pass through anyway, let's go."

Guo Xiaolan smiled, and her courage grew.

Normally, if she were alone, Guo Xiaolan would never join in such a lively gathering.

But today is different. With her younger sister by her side, Guo Xiaolan has become much bolder.

The two had only taken a few steps forward when a clear female voice suddenly rang out.

"Stand still, everyone! Nobody move! If any of you don't like what I'm doing, don't blame me for punishing you!"

The sound was crisp and clear, carrying an absolute air of dominance.

Guo Xiaoyan frowned slightly, her expression turning grim.

"This girl is quite unreasonable, even on the street."

Guo Xiaolan couldn't understand how a girl could be so bold as to command eight or nine grown men.

"Yan'er, shall we go? Who knows what's up ahead? What if we get into trouble..."

Before Guo Xiaolan could finish speaking, Guo Xiaoyan grabbed her arm.

"What are you afraid of? We're just passing by, we haven't done anything to anyone, let's go!"

Guo Xiaolan thought about it and realized that they were just walking properly and shouldn't have offended anyone.

As she got closer to those people, Guo Xiaolan became increasingly nervous.

Beside her, Guo Xiaoyan's eyes kept glancing in that direction.

at the same time.

Several young men also spotted Guo Xiaoyan and her sister.

A pair of beautiful sisters appeared before everyone's eyes, and the young men's eyes widened instantly!

Although no one dared to speak, everyone's eyes were following Guo Xiaoyan and Guo Xiaolan.

The girl in front of me had fair skin, an elegant demeanor, and her well-fitting dress fluttered in the wind.

The two braids became neat and tidy.

As she walked, the dress automatically formed waves.

This is... just too endearing!

As Guo Xiaoyan walked past the human bump, she felt somewhat disappointed.

I thought there would be some excitement to see, but it turned out to be just a few people gathered together.

Nothing at all.

So Guo Xiaoyan quickened her pace.

Unexpectedly, the men next to him turned their heads at the same time.

"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

The sharp female voice rang out again, and Guo Xiaoyan instinctively turned her head.

moment.

Guo Xiaoyan was stunned!

It was... her who spoke!
