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

“Uncle Zhou, you’re in charge of the whole village. Everything, big or small, in Xili Village is under your watchful eye. I think Sister Juanzi’s situation is pretty good.”

"Zhao Xiaochao has no relatives. After he marries Sister Juanzi, he will definitely want to live here."

"In another ten or twenty years, Zhao Xiaochao will be able to handle things, so you can rest assured."

Liu Jia put his words very subtly.

But he believed that Zhou Fengshou couldn't possibly misunderstand.

Zhou Fengshou is not stubborn; compared to his peers, he is much quicker to accept new things.

Just now, I said that Zhao Xiaochao could handle things, which was actually to make Zhou Fengshou understand that from now on, Zhao Xiaochao would be no different from the Zhou family's son.

Caixia's marriage to Li Zhenhe meant she was definitely going to live in the city.

Besides, Li Zhenhe's family only has one son, so no matter what, they would never allow Li Zhenhe to live with Zhou Caixia in Xili Village.

“Caijuan, that girl, never told me about this before.”

"Today, some women in the village made fun of me, saying that I'm tight-lipped and I don't even know what they were saying."

"Now that you've made things clear, I know what kind of thing this is all about."

As he spoke, Zhou Fengshou tried his best to remain calm, but his words still carried a hint of annoyance.

To put it bluntly, she wasn't angry at Zhao Xiaochao, but rather at her own daughter.

Such a big thing, and Juanzi didn't even mention it.

These words should never have come out of an outsider's mouth.

Close the door, and everything will be negotiable.

But after everyone knows, you're still kept in the dark. What kind of situation is that?

Zhou Fengshou was somewhat annoyed, and without realizing it, his brows furrowed.

"Uncle Zhou, this isn't Juanzi's fault. How could a young woman like her have the nerve to ask you for that?"

"Don't speak up for her. If you're too shy to speak up, just like that Zhao Xiaochao..."

He couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence.

This is so frustrating!

Zhou Fengshou also understood that times had changed.

The country now advocates freedom of love, and women can hold up half the sky.

Zhou Fengshou said the same thing when explaining the policies to the commune members.

But when it came to his own situation, Zhou Fengshou couldn't quite understand it.

Zhou Caijuan has always been well-behaved and sensible, so why did she get together with Zhao Xiaochao behind their backs?

Who is Zhao Xiaochao?

Apart from knowing that he was someone Liu Jia brought back, no one in the village knew anything about him.

Does anyone know what kind of person this is? What did he do before coming to the village?

Zhou Fengshou's mind was in turmoil, and he didn't know how to continue speaking even halfway through his sentence.

“Sanzi, your Uncle Zhou has lived most of his life and has seen a lot of people and things. Juanzi is still young, and I’m just afraid she might make a mistake.”

"Tell me in detail, what kind of person is Zhao Xiaochao? Can Juanzi entrust her whole life to him?"

“I know that parents can’t be with their children for a lifetime, but daughters are different from sons. If a daughter chooses the wrong man, she will suffer for a lifetime.”

Facing Liu Jia, Zhou Fengshou made no attempt to hide his true thoughts.

Liu Jia also understood that Zhou Fengshou was asking this because he wanted to find out about Zhao Xiaochao from him.

Regardless of what Zhao Xiaochao had done before, since following him, none of them had done those despicable things again.

Liu Jia was certain of this.

So when Zhou Fengshou looked in his direction, Liu Jia told him everything he knew.

A wry smile appeared on Zhou Fengshou's face.

By now, everyone in Xili Village probably knows that Caijuan has a boyfriend.

They acted first and informed themselves later.

Things have come to this point, there's no way to deny it now.

"Okay, I know what happened. You go back first, and I'll think about it for your aunt."

"The groom's family's wedding is no small matter, and their situation happened so suddenly. Shouldn't we at least have time to think about it?"

"Go back first."

At this moment, this is all Zhou Fengshou can say.

"Then I'll be going now, Uncle Zhou. Please contact me if you need anything."

"understood."

Zhou Fengshou escorted Liu Jia to the door, and only after watching Liu Jia leave did he turn around.

on the way back.

Liu Jia was also thinking about Zhou Caijuan's matter.

Liu Jia strongly supported Zhou Caixia's marriage to Li Zhenhe.

After meeting Zhou Caixia, Li Zhenhe kept talking about her all day long.

Liu Jia even saw a reflection of himself when he was pursuing Guo Xiaoyan in Li Zhenhe.

Therefore, when Li Zhenhe asked him to propose marriage to the Zhou family, Liu Jia readily agreed.

But Zhou Caijuan and Zhao Xiaochao are a different story.

In Liu Jia's heart, Zhao Xiaochao was also a brother.

The only difference is that Zhao Xiaochao's pursuit of Zhou Caijuan was profound.

It's as if he buried those feelings deep inside.

It's good to cherish it so much, but keeping it buried in one's heart is also perfectly acceptable.

However, Liu Jia was worried that this relationship would put pressure on Zhao Xiaochao.

A gust of wind blew by, and a few strands of Liu Jia's hair bounced upwards.

Reaching up to touch the top of his head, Liu Jia let out a long sigh of relief.

Things have come to this point, so we can only look forward.

Whatever happens in the future, we can only deal with it as it comes.

The next day, Liu Jia was to deliver baskets to the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Without much thought, he began preparations early.

When Liu Jia saw Li Zhenhe again after not seeing him for several days, his jaw nearly dropped to the floor in surprise.

"Brother Li, it's only been a few days, what happened to you? Did something happen?"

Liu Jia looked solemn, his eyes fixed on Li Zhenhe.

Li Zhenhe is no longer recognizable as a human being.

His hair was a mess, and his clothes were full of wrinkles.

The enamel mug he was holding had a chipped piece.

Liu Jiazhen suspected that the water would be poured into the jar and then leak out.

Given his appearance, if people didn't know what he did beforehand, most would suspect he was a beggar on the street.

Who would have thought he was a government employee?

Moreover, when Liu Jia asked that question, Li Zhenhe smiled sheepishly.

"I worked overtime last night, carrying bricks with them. Sanzi, let me tell you, carrying bricks is really hard work. My old back is about to break!"

Li Zhenhe spoke while touching his waist, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Brother Li, don't scare me like that. Should we go to the hospital again to get your back checked out? Is it okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll be fine after a day of rest, I'm just tired."

Li Zhenhe forced a smile, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Oh, by the way, I just saw your ex-wife at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. She said you were delivering goods today and asked you to wait for her. Are you two still in contact?"

Liu Jia was taken aback.

Ex-wife?

Guo Xiaoyan?

Although he has divorced Guo Xiaoyan, the two have not been together for some time.

However, Liu Jia was still somewhat unaccustomed to the new title, Guo Xiaoyan.

Hearing Li Zhenhe say this, Liu Jia was really stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

"We haven't been in contact. Is she busy?"

Liu Jia's question made Li Zhen raise his eyebrows to his forehead.

After looking Liu Jia up and down, Li Zhenhe blurted out a sentence.

"How would I know? Even if something happened, they wouldn't tell me!"

Liu Jia was speechless.

Asking this question is pointless.

"Okay, then you tidy yourself up first, I'll see what he wants from me, I'll come back to you later."

As he spoke, Liu Jia turned around.

Li Zhenhe nodded.

Having not met for the past two days, Liu Jia was bound to want to discuss his plans, and Li Zhenhe naturally dared not neglect him.

Liu Jia is now a key worker in the factory, and he will be going to university soon.

The explanations given now are extremely important and cannot be taken lightly.

Li Zhenhe rubbed his face a couple of times, yawned, and then walked towards the dormitory.

Arrived at the front gate.

Liu Jia looked around.

More and more people are now coming to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Old and young, men and women, come in groups of three or five, all happily entering the cooperative.

Liu Jia also thought that finding Guo Xiaoyan would be very difficult.

Unexpectedly, before he could even turn his head, Guo Xiaoyan's face came into view.

She had a tall figure, fair skin, and her braids were as neatly braided as ever.

Guo Xiaoyan, wearing a light blue dress, stood out in the crowd.

Like... a pure little flower blooming in a valley.

Even when she was sent to the countryside, Guo Xiaoyan already possessed an extraordinary air about her.

Now that he's back in the city, his unique aura is even more apparent.

Liu Jia was momentarily stunned, then walked towards Guo Xiaoyan.

Guo Xiaoyan's heart pounded, and she quickly lowered her eyes to hide the embarrassment on her face.

Liu Jia has changed a lot in the past few months.

The Liu Jia I used to look down on, who was always hanging around me, seems to have disappeared.

His composure and calmness made Guo Xiaoyan feel that the Liu Jia in front of her was completely different from the Liu Jia she knew before.

Habitual.

Guo Xiaoyan rolled her eyes again.

"What's wrong? Every time I see you, you look so bitter and resentful, like you want to stab me to death with your eyes. Do you hate me that much?"

Liu Jia couldn't understand why Guo Xiaoyan harbored so much hatred towards him.

Even if I liked her before and always hovered around her, annoying her, it doesn't have to be like this every time I see her, does it?

Moreover, this time it was Guo Xiaoyan who wanted to see her!

"Why do you have to start arguing the moment you see me?"

Guo Xiaoyan's question stunned Liu Jia.

Liu Jia coughed lightly, feigning calmness, and deliberately avoided looking at Guo Xiaoyan. "Did you need something?"

"Have you been admitted to college?"

"Ah."

Whether Guo Jianjun told Guo Xiaoyan or Guo Xiaoyan found out through other channels, the fact that she had been admitted to university could not be kept secret.

So when Guo Xiaoyan questioned him, Liu Jia admitted it directly.

"Then why didn't you say anything?"

"What? Shouting all over the world that I got into university? So many people get into university, is it really necessary to be so ostentatious?"

"Liu Jia, what do you mean? Is it so difficult for me to just say a word?"

Guo Xiaoyan felt wronged.

Although I have no relationship with Liu Jia now, I seem to be the last person to know that Liu Jia got into university.

This sense of loss was unacceptable to Guo Xiaoyan.

"At the very least, you should have told me after you got into university!"

"I encouraged you to study back then, how could you be so ungrateful?"

"I only heard about you getting into university from my brother, Liu Jia. Is it really necessary for us to become such bitter enemies?"

Guo Xiaoyan was angry.

She almost revealed that she had helped him solve a problem in the past.

However, there's no point in bringing up those old, trivial matters now.

Guo Xiaoyan just wanted to understand why Liu Jia hadn't told her about getting into university.

"Guo Xiaoyan, first of all, we are already divorced, so I don't need to report everything to you."

"Secondly, I can tell whoever I want to go to college; you don't need to morally blackmail me."

"Yes, you did motivate me back then, and I motivated you back then too, so we're even."

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, tears welled up in Guo Xiaoyan's eyes.
