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

Not long after he finished speaking, Cao Xiangyang started sobbing.

His entire body was trembling violently.

"What's going on? What happened over there? Go check it out right away."

"Holy crap, something really bad looks like this, hurry up!"

not far away.

The two young men who were strolling along the road heard the noise and quickly looked in Cao Xiangyang's direction.

After searching for a long time with wide eyes, I finally spotted the curled-up figure on the ground.

Both of them believed that something must have happened to someone.

After making up their minds, the two of them jogged over there.

"Comrade, are you alright? What happened? Do you need any help?"

The young man who ran up to Cao Xiangyang first asked a question.

Cao Xiangyang didn't say a word, but gripped his hair even tighter.

"Don't be afraid, we'll help you if you need it. Are you injured?"

Seeing that no one answered, the man continued to ask.

The young man who came from behind cautiously peeked over.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, Cao Xiangyang suddenly raised his head and asked, "What are you doing? Are you going to come out and laugh at me?"

The two of them were completely bewildered and didn't know what to say for a moment.

I came here with good intentions to help, but my good intentions were not rewarded.

That's fine.

I almost got accused of having ulterior motives!

The two looked at each other, their brows furrowing simultaneously.

What kind of situation is this?

"Never mind, he's alright, let's go. He probably just drank too much."

In an attempt to save face, the young people who arrived later quickly tried to smooth things over.

But Cao Xiangyang suddenly switched into that person's clothes, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Who's drunk? Who do you think's drunk?"

"I'm telling you, I'm not sick, I'm a man!"

"Are you all trying to make me a laughingstock? Damn it, the whole world wants to make me a laughingstock!"

"I know you're up to no good, you're all a bunch of bastards!"

Cao Xiangyang's insults grew increasingly vicious.

The young man who was caught was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Seeing that Cao Xiangyang wasn't paying attention, he quickly took a step back.

"Are you sick in the head? Who said you're not a man? Are you out of your mind?!"

"What does it matter to us whether you're a man or not?"

"Let me tell you, don't go looking for trouble. We have people in our enforcement team!"

After saying those words, the two of them ran away in a flash.

One of them ran out of the manager's meeting but didn't forget to turn back and say something.

"You're insane! I think he's just a dead eunuch!"

A careless insult completely broke Cao Xiangyang.

Cao Xiangyang immediately knelt on the ground, his fingers gripping the ground tightly.

"I'm not a eunuch! You're the eunuch, your whole family are eunuchs!"

……

Sunday.

Liu Jia left home earlier than usual.

When Zhang Guilan asked, Liu Jia simply said that he had a lot of things to do today.

Liu Jia did not tell her family about Guo Jianjun's invitation.

It wasn't that I was deliberately trying to hide it from them, but I felt there was really no need to.

It's just a meal at Guo Xiaoyan's house, there's no need to make such a fuss.

Liu Jia has already made up his mind.

This time when I go to the Guo family, I will buy some gifts, but I will definitely not spend all my money on appearances.

I was confused in my past life, and I'm not clear-headed now!

Since he and Guo Xiaoyan were already divorced, even if he went over for a meal, he couldn't treat her like a father-in-law and mother-in-law.

At most, they are relatives with whom we have a relatively good relationship.

A few boxes of pastries, a couple of bottles of wine, and some fruit—that's all; it seems a bit perfunctory.

Finally, Liu Jia thought of getting another carton of cigarettes.

This is enough.

It has to be said that driving a tractor is faster and less strenuous than riding a bicycle.

After delivering all the goods in the city, Liu Jia went to the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative last.

After purchasing the necessary items at the supply and marketing cooperative, they headed straight for the Guo family's residence.

I thought I would be carrying a lot of stuff inside.

To everyone's surprise, Guo Jianjun was actually waiting at the entrance of the villa.

Liu Jia frowned, blinked hard, and after confirming that the person was Guo Jianjun, he shouted out.

"Brother Jun, you're not going to wait for me here, are you?"

“That’s right, I’ve been waiting for you for ages,” Guo Jianjun replied to Liu Jia, then noticed Liu Jia carrying bottles of all sizes, and his voice carried a hint of complaint, “Why did you buy so much stuff just to have a meal?”

A slight smile appeared on Liu Jia's lips.

“We don’t need to be so formal when we’re eating together, but since we’re not coming to your house, we can’t go empty-handed.”

"So what if you come empty-handed? Even if you come empty-handed, the food will be plentiful!"

Guo Jianjun raised his voice.

Liu Jia: "That's what you say, but things can't be done that way. I'm not a child, how can I not even understand this basic principle?"

Guo Jianjun was speechless after being asked a question.

to be frank.

When it comes to eloquence and tact, Guo Jianjun is no match for Liu Jia.

Although he had always driven with leaders and been exposed to grand occasions, Guo Jianjun always felt that he was lacking something compared to Liu Jia's eloquence.

Like now.

Liu Jia's few simple words left him speechless.

"Fine, I can't argue with you, I'll help you carry your things, okay?"

Seeing Guo Jianjun helping him carry his things, Liu Jia smiled slightly.

On the short walk into the house, Guo Jianjun mentioned Guo Xiaoyan, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Logically speaking, Yan'er should be waiting for you outside, but I don't know what happened. She locked herself in her room first thing in the morning."

Guo Jianjun said this because he didn't want Liu Jia to mind.

However, according to Guo Jianjun's observation, Liu Jia's facial expression did not change.

Hearing what he had just said, it was as if it had nothing to do with him.

"What, aren't you going to say something?"

Liu Jia turned to look at Guo Jianjun.

"What are you saying? I'm not here for a blind date. If your sister doesn't want to come, she doesn't have to. Didn't you say your dad wanted to meet me?"

Guo Jianjun's heart skipped a beat.

I almost swore!

Liu Jia, you're way too straightforward!

Although the divorce from Guo Xiaoyan is a fact, is it appropriate for him to keep referring to her as his sister and his father?

"Let me tell you, don't be so formal when we eat later."

Liu Jia naturally accepted Guo Jianjun's well-intentioned reminder.

"Don't worry, I would only say that to your face. I know how to behave in formal situations."

bedroom.

Guo Xiaoyan closed the door tightly, but kept her ears open to any sounds coming from outside.

Guo Xiaoyan's brow has remained furrowed since this morning.

Liu Jia will be coming over for dinner soon; I wonder what will happen.

the most important is.

Guo Xiaoyan's heart was pounding as she thought about what was about to happen. It had been a long time since she had eaten at the same table as Liu Jia.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous, but even Guo Xiaoyan herself couldn't explain why she was nervous.

The only certainty is that Liu Jia will never treat me as well as before.

Guo Xiaoyan had already sensed something was going to happen before the college entrance examination.

Considering Liu Jia's recent cold attitude towards her, Guo Xiaoyan became even more certain.

Sudden.

A commotion erupted outside the door.

Then came the high-pitched sound deliberately produced by Guo Jianjun.

"Lanlan, Yan'er, come out quickly, Liu Jia is here!"

Guo Xiaoyan's heart skipped a beat, and she grabbed the doorknob, her breathing becoming rapid.

Liu Jia has really arrived!

I thought he wouldn't come!

Taking a deep breath, Guo Xiaoyan tried to calm herself down.

Although I gripped the handle, my legs felt like they were made of lead, and I couldn't take that step.

Just then, a series of urgent knocks came from the door.

"Yan'er, are you ready? Liu Jia is here, come out quickly!"

Guo Jianjun urged them again.

Guo Xiaoyan felt a surge of impatience.

"Alright, alright, I heard everything. Are you trying to kill me?"

As she was speaking, Guo Xiaoyan suddenly opened the door and gave Guo Jianjun a big eye roll.

Guo Jianjun gave an awkward laugh.

"What are you talking about? Now that Liu Jia is here, we can start serving the food. I haven't eaten breakfast, I'm starving."

Guo Xiaoyan glanced at Guo Jianjun sideways and muttered something under her breath.

"It's not like I'm stopping you from eating. Whose fault is it if you don't eat? You deserve it!"

"Yan'er, you've got quite a temper today. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder: watch your words, or you'll get a scolding from your father later!"

Guo Xiaoyan pouted before shutting her mouth.

in the living room.

Liu Jia is greeting Zhang Xiuying.

"Hello Auntie."

Zhang Xiuying was taken aback; Liu Jia actually called her "Auntie," which was quite unexpected.

However, seeing Liu Jia greet her sincerely, Zhang Xiuying nodded in return.

"Well, Jianjun is really something. He can't even speak clearly. We invited you over for dinner, why did you bring so much stuff? What are you spending all this money on?"

Zhang Xiuying gave Guo Jianjun a reproachful look.

Guo Jianjun's eyes widened in grievance.

What auspicious day is today?

Why is everything coming at me?

Guo Xiaoyan snapped at herself in annoyance.

Liu Jia came to our house for dinner and to buy things, and Mom has to blame herself!

Who did you provoke?

"Mom, I didn't ask Liu Jia to buy anything. He bought it himself."

To speak up for Guo Jianjun, Liu Jia quickly chimed in.

"Auntie, please don't blame Brother Jun, it really was my own idea."

Zhang Xiuying was stunned once again.

Brother Jun?

When did Liu Jia become so familiar with Guo Jianjun?

Guo Zhiyuan, who was coming down the stairs, saw this scene as soon as he reached the bottom.

Guo Zhiyuan looked at Guo Xiaoyan, then at Guo Jianjun, his gaze revealing a hint of complexity.

Logically speaking, Liu Jia should have focused his attention on Guo Xiaoyan.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Guo Jianjun is getting closer to Liu Jia.

I saw Guo Zhiyuan come downstairs, carrying a bottle of wine in his hand.

Zhang Xiuying hurriedly began to explain.

“Your father said Liu Jia was coming today, so he specially brought out Wuliangye.”

To avoid making Liu Jia feel uncomfortable, Zhang Xiuying added a sentence.

"Actually, don't all these wines taste the same? They're just different in terms of their brewing history. In my opinion, there's no difference."

As soon as Zhang Xiuying finished speaking, Guo Jianjun immediately chimed in.

"Mom, you don't understand. My dad likes things with history, but I'm different."

"Then I say, let's go straight for Red Star liquor and Erguotou, that's the real deal!"

"These days, if you can't drink Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), you're not really a drinker!"

As Guo Zhiyuan walked downstairs, he said, "History needs to be passed down, and so does wine."

"This wine has a brewing history of over three thousand years."

Guo Jianjun chuckled and turned to look at Liu Jia.

"Sanzi, even if it has a history of 30,000 years, it still has to be drunk by us today, don't you think?"

Liu Jia was amused by Guo Jianjun.

Guo Jianjun spoke several times more than usual today, which was noticeable to everyone in the Guo family.

Guo Xiaoyan spoke much less.

Aside from occasionally smiling, Guo Xiaoyan would sometimes glance at Liu Jia.

Seeing Guo Zhiyuan come down, Zhang Xiuying instructed the nanny to serve the dishes, while she herself brought out the cut fruit.

"Have some fruit first. I've written down all my fruit recipes today, and they're spotless!"

Zhang Xiuying placed the fruit platter in front of Liu Jia, who quickly got up.

"Thank you auntie."

"Don't be so polite, it's too formal to keep saying thank you."

Liu Jia nodded, wanting Guo Jianjun to sit down as well.

But when he turned around, he found that Guo Jianjun and Guo Xiaolan had already left sometime earlier.

On the entire sofa, only he and Guo Xiaoyan were sitting together.

This is... awkward!
