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

As soon as I entered the house.

Guo Jianjun then told Guo Xiaoyan about the things Liu Jia had been doing recently.

This includes visiting four factories in one day and securing three deals.

Guo Xiaoyan was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.

"Really, bro, is Liu Jia really that amazing?"

Guo Xiaolan asked a question in a daze.

Guo Jianjun raised an eyebrow. "How could this be fake? We're all family, why would I lie to you?"

"So, does that mean Liu Jia is really as promising and accomplished as Dad said?"

While asking the questions, Guo Xiaolan glanced at Guo Xiaoyan beside her.

It was as if these words were asked on behalf of Guo Xiaoyan.

Guo Jianjun's face showed a look of affirmation.

"My father's evaluation of Liu Jia is his own, and I at least agree with his assessment."

Guo Xiaoyan did not speak.

Right now, all I can think about is Liu Jia going to discuss business.

It seems my intuition about Liu Jia was correct.

Liu Jia has really changed a lot.

After regaining her composure, Guo Xiaoyan quickly asked, "Brother, do you know why Dad is looking for Liu Jia?"

"I don't know, I really don't know."

Guo Jianjun was also somewhat surprised that Guo Zhiyuan wanted to meet with Liu Jia.

But there must be something going on, otherwise, my father wouldn't have contacted Liu Jia for no reason.

Feeling that she wouldn't get anything out of Guo Jianjun, Guo Xiaoyan stopped asking questions.

Guo Xiaoyan only sighed after Guo Jianjun left.

"Yan'er, Liu Jia is actually quite good, isn't he?"

Guo Xiaolan sat down next to Guo Xiaoyan.

The two sisters started having heart-to-heart talks again.

Guo Xiaoyan's evaluation of Liu Jia remained the same few sentences throughout.

But Guo Xiaolan could tell that Guo Xiaoyan was also quite shocked by what Liu Jia had done.

Actually, Guo Xiaoyan was just being stubborn and didn't want to say how good Liu Jia was.

The thought had barely crossed Guo Xiaolan's mind when Guo Xiaoyan's voice came through.

"What's so good about it? It's just good luck."

“Yan’er, you can’t say that. A person can be lucky for a while, but he can’t be lucky for a lifetime.”

Guo Xiaolan did not refute what Guo Xiaoyan said.

Furthermore, he presented a theory to try and persuade Guo Xiaoyan.

"If you attribute Liu Jia's factory establishment to luck, then let's not talk about it."

"So, was his admission to university just luck? That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? So many people take the college entrance exam. If Liu Jiaping didn't have real talent, how lucky would he have to be?"

"And what I just mentioned about Liu Jia's business acumen, can you say that was just luck?"

"I think Liu Jia is honest and has good character, which is why the factory leaders gave him business."

Guo Xiaolan said a lot.

Guo Xiaoyan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

indeed.

Nowadays, unless you have certain capabilities, most factories won't subcontract their business to individuals.

Most factories operate on credit. If the other party is not a good person, isn't that like feeding meat buns to a dog?

This analogy is indeed somewhat apt, but Guo Xiaoyan simply can't think of a more accurate one right now.

After all, people who can afford to open factories aren't fools.

Nobody wants to watch their hard-earned results being wasted by others.

What if the business deal falls through and the other party runs away with the product? Wouldn't that mean all our efforts would be for nothing?

"Liu Jia is indeed a very good person."

Guo Xiaoyan does not deny acknowledging Liu Jia's character.

Although she kept pointing out Liu Jia's flaws, Guo Xiaoyan also acknowledged Liu Jia's character.

Having lived in Xili Village for nearly three years, Liu Jia has always kept his promise.

Although he followed her around all day, acting like a devoted admirer, Guo Xiaoyan felt ashamed of this kind of relationship.

However, Guo Xiaoyan would disagree with the assertion that Liu Jia is a bad person.

"Dad keeps urging us to get married. Actually, I think looks aren't the most important thing. What matters is character."

"We will encounter many things in our lives, and if a person's mind is not upright, there will certainly be no good outcome."

“I can’t dismiss Zhao Bin because of the supply and marketing cooperative incident, but I have to say that I’m cutting ties with him because of this incident.”

Guo Xiaolan sighed.

You may not need a passionate, dramatic love affair, but the person's heart must be upright. Only in this way will that person be able to take responsibility when facing important matters in the future.

Guo Xiaoyan was also very surprised by what Guo Xiaolan said.

all the time.

Guo Xiaoyan believes that her older sister is a bit slow to react, at least when it comes to relationships.

However, to everyone's surprise, Guo Xiaolan's words were all quite reasonable.

That's definitely true.

"Sis, when I go to college, I'll be relying on you to take care of Mom and Dad."

Guo Xiaoyan was somewhat reluctant to part.

Although it wasn't time to leave for university yet, Guo Xiaoyan felt a deep sense of longing at the thought of leaving home.

Seeing Guo Xiaoyan's eyes redden, Guo Xiaolan forced back a sob.

"Just focus on your studies and don't worry about anything else. My older brother is here, so you don't need to worry."

Thinking of Guo Zhiyuan's urging about personal matters, Guo Xiaolan added a sentence in time.

"If you find the right person when you get to college, don't forget to tell your parents so they won't worry."

"What are you talking about? It's all still in the works, who knows what will happen in the future? Let's not talk about that now. What do you think of this book?"

Suddenly remembering that she had come across a good book, Guo Xiaoyan couldn't wait to share it with Guo Xiaolan.

Soon, their minds were practically glued together.

……

Two days later.

State-owned hotel.

"See me? Did I hear that right?"

Upon hearing that Guo Zhiyuan wanted to see him, Liu Jia dropped the peanuts he was holding onto the table.

"What's the rush? My home isn't a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire. You've been there before, so what's wrong with meeting my dad?"

After asking this question, Guo Jianjun specifically pointed to the peanuts in front of Liu Jia.

Liu Jia picked up the peanuts and put them in his mouth right in front of Guo Jianjun.

At that time, we couldn't waste peanuts, much less waste them.

The policy states that wasting food is a crime.

Only after swallowing the peanuts did Liu Jia continue the conversation.

"No, why do you want to see me? I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"

"Who said you did something wrong and they need to see you? It's your ex-father-in-law who wants to meet you and asked me to pass on a message."

Guo Jianjun spoke as if nothing was wrong, but Liu Jia's heart was in her throat.

The pressure from Guo Zhiyuan, his former father-in-law, is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

Guo Zhiyuan was a typical intellectual, and also a professor, who had experienced the great ups and downs of history, an experience that not everyone can have.

It was precisely because of this accumulation of experience that Guo Zhiyuan became much more impressive in Liu Jia's eyes.

Guo Jianjun was right; he had indeed visited the Guo family many times.

However, it wasn't as serious as Guo Jianjun made it out to be.

"Alright, stop standing there. I've delivered the message. Just come to my house whenever you have time. Hurry up and eat."

Guo Jianjun had two dishes laid out in front of him.

A plate of cold peanut salad and a stir-fried pork with green peppers.

Two bowls of rice were placed in front of each other.

Liu Jia had originally ordered a stewed pork ribs dish, but Guo Jianjun cancelled it.

In Guo Jianjun's words, ordering too much food is wasteful, and leaving leftovers is even more shameful.

Liu Jia didn't say anything and simply did as Guo Jianjun instructed.

The two were already very familiar with each other, so they didn't have many formalities when eating. As long as they were full, there was no need to make a big show of it.

After listening to what Guo Jianjun had just said, Liu Jia felt that his appetite had decreased considerably.

When asked what happened, Guo Jianjun couldn't explain it himself.

Finally, Liu Jia simply shoveled some rice into his mouth.

there is always a solution to a problem.

It's not like you're going to lose your head. It's just going to see your former father-in-law. What's there to be so afraid of?

I'm not that cowardly!

No matter what you're facing, eat your fill first.

Seeing that Liu Jia had regained his usual expression, Guo Jianjun finally smiled.

"Stir-fried pork with green peppers is good with rice, but I still think stewed pork ribs are better."

As he spoke, Liu Jia smacked his lips.

Guo Jianjun immediately rolled his eyes at Liu Jia.

"What you're saying is ridiculous. Stir-fried pork with green peppers uses sliced ​​pork, while stewed ribs use chunks of meat. How can they taste the same?"

"Even a fool knows that stewed pork ribs are delicious."

"But with just the two of us, we can't possibly finish all that food, right?"

Liu Jia raised his eyelids.

"That's not what I meant. You know, stewing pork ribs with corn is the best way to eat it. And if you're talking about authentic corn, it's the kind that grows right here in our fields."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jianjun across from him burst out laughing.

"The corn there isn't grown in the ground, does it fall from the sky?"

Liu Jia opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.

I was going to say...

When it comes to the best-tasting corn, the local variety from this area is the most delicious.

Having grown accustomed to native corn, even later varieties like sweet corn and sticky corn still fall short in taste and texture compared to native corn.

But at that time, there was no sweet corn or sticky corn yet!

So Liu Jia just smiled awkwardly and said, "You're right."

"Soak the pork ribs to remove the blood, then add corn, carrots, and a few red dates. The resulting stewed pork ribs are incredibly delicious."

"The soup is also delicious, light and not fishy at all."

"Most importantly, the corn is very flavorful!"

At first, Guo Jianjun was listening attentively, but after Liu Jia finished speaking, Guo Jianjun smiled and chimed in.

"I think I understand now. Your focus isn't on eating the ribs, but on eating the corn inside, right?"

"Yes, absolutely right, you've hit the nail on the head!"

Liu Jia was incredibly excited at the thought of soon being able to eat corn stew with pork ribs.

When the corn is in season, I must eat my fill!

But before the idea could linger in his mind for long, Guo Jianjun poured cold water on it.

"It's a pity you won't be able to taste this delicacy you're talking about."

"You'll be going to college soon, and the school won't serve you corn stewed with pork ribs."

"However, I can try doing it the way you suggested."

Liu Jia's eyes widened, and he managed to squeeze out a sentence with great difficulty.

"Guo Jianjun, you're ruthless! You've killed him by destroying his spirit!"

Guo Jianjun was overjoyed.

He happily picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and popped it into his mouth.

"How about this, I'll stew some pork ribs and come to see you at school?"

"Give me a break! If you really did that, Guo Xiaoyan would kill me!"

Thinking of Guo Xiaoyan, Guo Jianjun smiled again.

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out.

"Liu Jia, you really are here!"
