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

As the two were talking, Guo Xiaoyan walked in from outside. Before she could even stand up straight, she asked a question.

"Mom, did I receive any mail today?"

Zhang Xiuying shook her head.

"No, I asked the postman, and he said they haven't started sending out notices yet."

Guo Xiaoyan looked a little disappointed, said "Oh," and then laughed again.

"I'm so anxious. I've been thinking about the admission notice the whole time these past two days."

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. You have a good foundation and you'll definitely pass the exam."

Guo Xiaolan also offered words of comfort.

Guo Xiaoyan felt embarrassed, but her worries only grew stronger.

"You can't say that. Only receiving the notification letter is the safest thing. Without the notification letter, everything is just speculation."

At this point, Guo Xiaoyan looked at the two people in front of her with a puzzled expression, "Why are you both standing here? Is something wrong?"

"No, this is just water. I came to get some water. Mom just finished her water too."

Guo Xiaolan did not mention Zhao Bin's matter.

Zhang Xiuying didn't mention it either.

Now that you mention it, I'm thirsty too.

As Guo Xiaoyan spoke, she poured herself a glass of water.

Guo Xiaolan and Zhang Xiuying exchanged a glance.

Today, Guo Xiaoyan was in a good mood, and she even hopped around as she walked.

Guo Xiaolan was also thinking about the admission notice.

They just didn't dare show it on their faces.

Compared to Guo Xiaoyan, my academic performance is somewhat worse.

If even Guo Xiaoyan was so worried, then I must say even more so.

……

Lately, every time Cao Zhongsheng returns home, he glances into Cao Xiangyang's room.

Each time he looked away, Cao Zhongsheng would frown.

The door was tightly shut, not even a crack.

But Cao Zhongsheng knew that Cao Xiangyang was inside the house.

After being discharged from the hospital, Cao Xiangyang got some more tonics.

But after taking one dose of medicine after another, I still didn't feel better.

In addition, Cao Xiangyang couldn't sleep every night and didn't see the sun. In just a few days, his face became pale.

Cao Zhongsheng was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

His wife cried countless times in secret.

But the couple still had to accept this fact.

Upon hearing that her husband had returned, Cao's mother immediately put down her fan and ran over.

"Old Cao, how did it go? Did you go to see that old Chinese medicine doctor? What did you say?"

Cao's mother lowered her voice, afraid that Cao Xiangyang inside the room would hear.

"Caizhi, stop rushing me. There are so many things to do at the factory, I'm so busy I feel like my head is about to fall off. You have to give me some time."

After calling out his wife's nickname, Cao Zhongsheng looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly.

Zhao Caizhi's eyes reddened, and her lips trembled several times before she managed to hold back her tears.

Cao Zhongsheng thought the matter was over, but to his surprise, Zhao Caizhi suddenly started to lose her temper!

"The factory's affairs are important, but your son's affairs aren't?"

"Which is more important, the factory or your son?"

"Fine, you're a big boss, I can't afford to use you, okay? I'll ask you myself tomorrow!"

Zhao Caizhi gritted her teeth, her eyes practically spitting fire.

Cao Zhongsheng was stunned.

Since I married this woman, I have never seen her so angry.

"Why are you in such a hurry? What I said is true. We need to finish what we have on hand before we go see that doctor, right?"

"Xiangyang isn't at work right now, so I have to clean up his mess. Otherwise, if he keeps failing to achieve any results, will I even be able to keep this job?"

"I just got back from the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and you're already nagging me. Which is more important? A secure job or a few doses of medicine?"

Cao Zhongsheng's retort left Zhao Caizhi speechless.

My son is not feeling well and is unable to go to work.

Out of respect for Lao Cao, the factory didn't fire Cao Xiangyang.

If Cao Xiangyang can't maintain his performance record, he might really lose his secure job.

Cao Xiangyang's physical condition has already dealt him a heavy blow. If he loses his job as well, his son will likely become completely despondent.

Zhao Caizhi sat down on the sofa, extremely anxious.

"What can we do? We can't go on like this forever, Lao Cao, you have to think of something!"

"How could I not have thought of a solution? Don't keep pressuring me, we have to take it one step at a time."

Seeing that his wife's emotions had calmed down, Cao Zhongsheng also sighed.

Who would want to live a perfectly good life like this?

But when something like this happens, no one can avoid it; you just have to take it one step at a time.

My son's problem is a mental one; his heart needs a cure.

Only when you understand this can you overcome the hurdle in your heart; even if outsiders are frantic and lose their heads, they can't help you.

But this revenge must be taken!

Without realizing it, Cao Zhongsheng's hand had already clenched into a fist.

Sudden.

The door to Cao Xiangyang's bedroom suddenly opened!

"Mom and Dad, please stop arguing. I'm sorry, I've let you down. Don't worry, I'll go to work tomorrow and I promise I won't be a burden to you."

Cao Xiangyang rushed out of the house and blurted out a string of words.

Looking at their disheveled son, Cao Zhongsheng and his wife were dumbfounded.

Cao Xiangyang wasn't wearing his glasses, and his eyelids were so swollen he could barely open them.

Her hair was a mess, like a rotten chicken coop.

If Cao Zhongsheng hadn't been mentally prepared, he would have mistaken the person in front of him for a beggar.

Even the beggars on the street were much cleaner than Cao Xiangyang.

"Son, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother. You...you just woke up?"

"How old are you? Why are you so sloppy? Go wash your face and let's talk this out."

In front of Cao Xiangyang, Cao Zhongsheng still wanted to maintain his fatherly authority.

Unfortunately, Cao Xiangyang did not give him that face.

Cao Xiangyang stood still, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Dad, whether I wash my face or not has nothing to do with my determination. From today onwards, my goal is to destroy Liu Jia!"

"If it weren't for Liu Jia, I wouldn't be in this situation. If I can't get better, Liu Jia shouldn't expect to get better either!"

“If you still acknowledge me as your son, then support me; if you don’t, then we’ll sever all ties!”

Zhao Caizhi panicked upon hearing this and rushed to Cao Xiangyang, grabbing him tightly in her arms.

"Son, don't scare your mother. What nonsense are you talking about cutting ties? Don't worry, we will definitely avenge this family. We've remembered it even if you don't say anything!"

“That’s right,” Cao Zhongsheng looked at Cao Xiangyang, “Dealing with Liu Jia is our family’s business, not just yours alone. But we are still very happy to see you cheer up.”

To be honest, Cao Zhongsheng couldn't feel happy at all seeing his son like this.

But in order to comfort Cao Xiangyang, I still had to say it that way.

Things have come to this point, what else can we do?

But after hearing Cao Zhongsheng's words, Cao Xiangyang became much more invigorated.

"I have to pull myself together. To deal with Liu Jia, I have to stay alive!"

After saying that, Cao Xiangyang broke free from Zhao Caizhi, walked to the washbasin, and plunged his head into it!

"Son, what are you doing?"

Zhao Caizhi exclaimed, but Cao Zhongsheng pulled her back and quietly shook his head.

Perhaps this is one way.

They were willing to try anything to help their son return to normal.

……

Another day passed.

Li Zhenhe saw the tractor that had crashed into the ditch.

The tractor head was fine, and the tractor bucket was undamaged.

Several drivers surrounded the tractor, their faces full of surprise.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.

"This is really strange. Tell me, how come the tractor is completely unharmed even though Old Zhang was so badly injured?"

"I told you long ago that this tractor wasn't safe, but Old Zhang is just greedy. Why did he have to make this extra trip?"

"I think we should get rid of this tractor as soon as possible. It's just a decoration in the supply and marketing cooperative. After what happened with Lao Zhang, I guess no one will dare to touch this tractor."

"If the tractor was smashed to pieces, we can understand, you can see..."

This person spoke in turns, shaking his head as he spoke.

No wonder, things are just strange!

The tractor crashed into the ditch. The tractor was fine, but the people inside were injured!

Moreover, it's a pretty big deal!

Old Zhang is still in a coma and remains unconscious.

The tractor, however, was incredibly energetic!

What the hell is this?!

Seeing the situation before them, several older, experienced drivers gritted their teeth in anger.

I wish I could take a hammer and chisel it a few times on the tractor!

We've worked together for so many years, we're as close as brothers.

The doctor said that Old Zhang might not make it through.

The culprit is this tractor right in front of us!

Among this group of people, Old Zhou was the most easily swayed.

Old Zhou started wiping away tears whenever he thought of Old Zhang.

Now, seeing the tractor, Old Zhou's eyes widened even more, and he circled the tractor several times.

They watched and cursed at the same time, spewing out one nasty insult after another.

Even after everyone had fallen silent, Old Zhou still hadn't stopped talking.

"I'm telling you this now: if my old brother doesn't make it through, you're in for a world of hurt!"

"I have plenty of ways to deal with you! I'll deflate your tires, drain all the gas from your tank, and then I'll throw you into that stinking ditch and suffocate you!"

"I've taken off your steering wheel, dismantled your engine, I'll make sure you can't be a tractor anymore, I'll turn you into scrap metal!"

"I've broken it down for you!"

Old Zhou's words became increasingly harsh and hurtful.

Everyone was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In the end, it was Li Zhenhe who stepped forward.

"Alright, Master Zhou, we've said what we needed to say and scolded enough. Now we all need to get back to what we were doing. Let this tractor just die here!"

Old Zhou felt unsatisfied.

He spat angrily on the ground.

"What's the point of keeping this annoying thing? I'd say it should have been sold long ago! It's just a nuisance, what bad luck!"

"This isn't something we can decide on our own. It's public property, so we need approval from above."

Someone in the crowd said something.

Everyone took what they just said as a joke, but Old Zhou took it seriously.

"Even with the approval slip, someone has to make the suggestion. I'm going to find the leader right now; I can't swallow this!"

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Lao Zhou had already stormed off to the leader's office.

Li Zhenhe was taken aback.

Old Zhou was too impulsive. In order to avenge Old Zhang, should he really ask his superiors for permission to sell the tractor?

Li Zhenhe had been wondering how to bring it up.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou was the first to step forward.

This should be considered a good thing!

Seeing Lao Zhou rushing forward, the others started to have a new topic of conversation.

"This tractor... anyone want to buy it?"

"I don't know, but I definitely won't buy it. First, I don't have the money, and second, this tractor is questionable."

"If you don't know, it should be fine, right? But then again, who wouldn't do some research before buying something so expensive? To be honest, this tractor doesn't have a very good reputation."

"Haha, you're really talking about your wife, even your reputation. It's a miracle anyone will buy this tractor!"

"That's right, if this tractor were a woman, it definitely wouldn't be able to marry into a good family!"

As everyone was talking, Old Zhou suddenly stormed back in.

"Master Zhou, why are you back so soon? Did the boss approve it?"

As soon as Li Zhenhe finished speaking, Old Zhou snorted.

"The boss isn't here, and the door is locked!"

Li Zhenhe, who had just been full of excitement, also became dejected.
