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

Zhang Xiuying bit her lip and walked over, pretending to be calm.

"Old Guo, listen to me first. It's my fault that we didn't discuss this matter properly, but I'm also concerned about the child."

"Don't you need to be so concerned? You're just being unreasonable. You're wrong, that's all. Not only do you refuse to admit your mistake, but you're also making excuses!"

"As an intellectual and as a mother, this is the example you should set!"

Guo Zhiyuan was so angry that he trembled all over and his face turned pale.

Guo Xiaolan and Guo Xiaoyan had never seen anything like this before, and they were both terrified.

Zhang Xiuying swallowed hard, forcing back her tears.

"Old Guo, can you let me finish what I have to say? If you think I did something wrong, I can apologize, but you can't deny my feelings for the child!"

After saying that, Zhang Xiuying added another sentence.

"Zhenxiang also gave me some advice on this matter..."

It would have been better if Guo Zhenxiang hadn't been mentioned; the more Guo Zhenxiang and Guo Zhiyuan were mentioned, the angrier Zhang Xiuying became.

Before Zhang Xiuying could finish speaking in front of the two children, Guo Zhiyuan interrupted her.

"Don't mention her! Don't you know what she's done to our children? You still listen to her? Have you lost your mind?!"

"But she's your sister too. Even if I'm confused, I can tell the difference in generations."

"You're being completely unreasonable. Does this have anything to do with seniority?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Guo Xiaoyan hurriedly stepped forward to mediate.

"Mom and Dad, please stop arguing. Since it has already happened, let's listen to what my sister has to say. That's the key."

Guo Xiaoyan said these words with great courage and a willingness to risk everything.

I've never seen my parents argue so fiercely before, not since I was a child.

Guo Zhiyuan took a deep breath and then sat back down on the sofa.

Beside her, Zhang Xiuying had already begun wiping away tears.

"Mom and Dad, I'm so sorry that I made you angry. I didn't handle things well, it's my fault."

“What did you do wrong? We are the ones who are wrong, Lanlan. Dad doesn’t want to delay your marriage either, but this is a problem of our times that no one can escape. But no matter what, you must understand that Dad doesn’t want you to marry blindly.”

Guo Zhiyuan's words were tinged with an immense sense of heaviness.

Guo Zhiyuan disagreed with Guo Xiaoyan's marriage to Liu Jia.

Because a marriage without love cannot last long, and besides, Guo Zhiyuan understood that Liu Jia from Guo Xiaoyan's family had ulterior motives.

But Guo Xiaoyan explained her predicament, and Guo Zhiyuan had no choice but to agree.

Although Guo Xiaoyan and Liu Jia are divorced, Guo Xiaoyan is not happy, and she can tell that.

Now, Zhang Xiuying actually wants to meet the man because of Guo Xiaolan's age. Isn't that foolish?

She made herself very clear and solemnly told Zhang Xiuying that if her daughter did not agree, and if the other party did not truly care about her daughter, she could not agree no matter how good or outstanding the man's conditions were.

It's better now.

Zhang Xiuying actually took the initiative to go find the man!

Do you know what the man is thinking?

My daughter is no worse or inferior to anyone else, so why should I rush to push her away like this?

How could Guo Zhiyuan not be furious?

"Dad, calm down. Mom is just worried about my love life, which I understand. I've made you worry, and I should have made a decision in advance."

At this moment, Guo Xiaolan was filled with deep regret.

Ultimately, it was my own indecisiveness and lack of directness that led me to this situation.

If I had the same temperament as Guo Xiaoyan, things certainly wouldn't have turned out this way.

If the decision had been made a day or two earlier, Mom wouldn't have been scolded by Dad.

Guo Xiaolan bit her lip hard, trying her best not to let the tears fall.

"Dad said this isn't your fault. Sit down and tell us what happened."

Normally, Zhang Xiuying would have a say in this family, but because of what just happened, she gave Guo Zhiyuan a good scolding.

Zhang Xiuying felt that whatever she said no longer carried any weight.

Upon hearing Guo Xiaolan say that she didn't want to continue with Zhao Bin, Zhang Xiuying only whispered, "I think Zhao Bin is too scheming, Lanlan, he's not right for you."

Guo Zhiyuan turned and glared at Zhang Xiuying, but didn't continue the conversation.

Seeing her father gesturing for her to continue, Guo Xiaolan simply voiced all her thoughts.

Guo Zhiyuan listened while sighing.

Guo Xiaolan and Guo Xiaoyan have different temperaments; the two daughters' personalities are completely opposite.

Guo Zhiyuan had long worried that Guo Xiaolan would be indecisive, but unexpectedly, what he feared still happened.

Because of Zhao Bin's persistent pursuit over the years, Guo Xiaolan agreed to date him. But does time have anything to do with feelings?

If you don't like someone at first, or even feel some aversion to them, will that change over time?

Absolutely impossible!

Guo Zhiyuan frowned in thought.

Guo Xiaolan turned to look at Guo Xiaoyan.

She had said what needed to be said, and now her father was silent. Guo Xiaolan couldn't understand what he meant by that.

"Dad, there's one more thing I need to clarify. We previously suspected that someone with ulterior motives was plotting against us, but that was actually a misunderstanding."

"The person I saw at the supply and marketing cooperative was Zhao Bin!"

"He was pursuing the older sister, so he claimed to be Professor Guo's son-in-law, using your name to get small advantages. After all that talk, he just wanted the supply and marketing cooperative to give him two more coupons."

"Since my sister doesn't like him, let's just let it go. We're not being arrogant, but his character is really questionable."

As soon as Guo Xiaoyan finished speaking, Zhang Xiuying exclaimed in surprise.

"What? Yan'er, you need to provide evidence before you speak."

"What evidence do we need? My sister saw it all, and Zhao Bin's stammering indirectly admitted it as well."

The room fell silent again.

Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let's leave it at that. We should all respect Lanlan's choice. It's best to stay away from people with such warped values."

Guo Zhiyuan said the last sentence to Guo Xiaolan.

Everyone could tell.

Guo Xiaolan nodded with red eyes, "Dad, don't worry, I won't cause you any more trouble."

"Can you handle this? Should Mom and Dad step in?"

Zhang Xiuying was really worried about her daughter, so she quickly asked again.

"Mom, I can do it. You can trust me. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask you for help again."

Hearing Guo Xiaolan say this, Guo Zhiyuan and Zhang Xiuying were finally relieved.

Seeing that her sister's problem was resolved, Guo Xiaoyan felt a sense of relief.

As she turned away, Guo Xiaoyan couldn't help but sigh.

The two sisters are really alike; they've encountered similar situations.

Why are there always so many self-righteous men? Do they naively believe that as long as they go public, others will do as they say?

After talking to herself, Guo Xiaoyan thought of Cao Xiangyang again.

……

Back home, Liu Jia didn't tell anyone what had happened that day so as not to worry them.

But he still carefully inspected the tractor again.

After going through the whole process, Liu Jia was covered in sweat.

"Third Brother, we all know you love this tractor, but you can't hold it in your hands all the time, can you? You've only been gone for a day and they're already starting inspections again. Is that really necessary?"

“Absolutely necessary.”

"You're so sure about it. Who checks their tractor every time it goes out? Your repair time is way too short."

While speaking, Zhou Caixia kept looking this way and that, her eyes never stopping.

"You don't understand. You need to know how to drive a car, and even more importantly, how to maintain it. Besides, we haven't even paid for this tractor yet, so shouldn't we have it checked properly?"

Zhou Caixia thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Seeing that Liu Jia was looking at it intently, Zhou Caixia also started to look at it carefully.

At this moment, Liu Jia turned around.

"Don't get involved, go do your own thing."

"Third Brother, when you're less busy later, can you teach me how to drive a tractor?"

Instead of responding to Liu Jia's words, Zhou Caixia asked a question with a smile.

Liu Jia: "What did you say?"

"I asked you to teach me how to drive a tractor. It shouldn't be too hard to learn, right? You drive it quite easily."

Zhou Caixia reached out and touched the tractor's front, looking quite interested.

In the past, Liu Jia would have definitely agreed immediately.

But now, Liu Jia shook his head.

"Why? You're not that stingy, are you? Afraid I'll break it?"

"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person? If you want to drive a tractor, that's fine too. You can ask Li Zhenhe to teach you later."

Liu Jia didn't say the rest.

One must avoid suspicion in one's conduct.

When I was younger and didn't know any better, I used to yell and shout at Zhou Caixia. Now that Zhou Caixia has a husband, it's really inappropriate for me to teach her to drive a tractor.

If anyone really needs to teach her, it has to be her boyfriend.

But Zhou Caixia across from her frowned.

"Third brother, what do you mean? How can you act like this? I asked you to teach me how to drive a tractor, and you kept making excuses. You said you treated me like your own sister, but you're just talking big!"

It was obvious that Zhou Caixia was unhappy, and Liu Jia chuckled as usual.

He placed the white towel on his shoulder onto the tractor engine before speaking again.

"Where did your usual quick wit go? How come you can't even figure something out at a crucial moment?"

“You’re a grown woman now, and you even have a boyfriend. Don’t be as loud and unruly as you used to be.”

“You are now Li Zhenhe’s fiancée. No matter how good my relationship with Brother Li is, I can’t… I can’t…”

Halfway through his sentence, Liu Jia suddenly didn't know how to continue.

He couldn't very well say something like "stealing someone's girlfriend" in front of Zhou Caixia.

The saying "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow" should never be spoken aloud.

However, Liu Jia believed that Zhou Caixia had already understood what he meant.

At first, Zhou Caixia had a stern face.

But when he heard Liu Jia stammering and unable to finish his sentence, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Look at you, trying to give me a long lecture, but you can't even speak properly. It's hilarious."

"What's so funny? Look how happy you are," Liu Jia said, suddenly realizing something was amiss.

Zhou Caixia wasn't unaware of the reasoning behind it; this girl was clearly doing it on purpose!

Zhou Caixia, sitting opposite, was beaming with joy, glancing at Liu Jia one moment and then at the tractor the next.

Liu Jia picked up the towel again. "Alright, stop teasing me. If you really want to learn how to drive a tractor, ask Brother Li to teach you. Brother Li is an experienced driver; he has much more experience than me."

Zhou Caixia sighed.

"Alright, you're a very busy person, I won't cause you any trouble. I'll talk to my dad about it later and see if he'll let me learn it."

"You know what, if we really talk to Uncle Zhou about this, and he agrees, then everything will definitely be fine."

The two chatted back and forth, while Liu Jia's hands got busy again.

Just then, the production team's loudspeaker suddenly blared.

"Attention all members, attention all members, please put down what you are doing, we are about to broadcast an announcement."

"Now, here is the list of those who have received admission notices from our Broadcasting University. If you hear your name, come to the production team to pick up your notice."

Zhou Fengshou's voice rang out from the loudspeaker, and in an instant, almost everyone in the village perked up their ears.

Liu Jia was stunned, and his eyes widened.
