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

"Brother, what did you say? Are you feeling unwell?"

Guo Jianjun drank quite a lot of alcohol during dinner today, which Guo Xiaolan saw clearly.

I've never seen him drink so much before, not even when I was a child.

Hearing him muttering in his room, Guo Xiaolan instinctively assumed that Guo Jianjun was not feeling well.

Or, I'm about to throw up.

Guo Xiaolan turned around, intending to pour water for Guo Jianjun, but Guo Jianjun stopped her.

"Wait, stop making such a fuss. I'm not as pathetic as you think."

As Guo Jianjun spoke, he sat up from the bed.

Seeing that Guo Jianjun didn't seem to be in any trouble, Guo Xiaolan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death! I thought you were going to throw up."

"It's not that bad. Come here, come here. There are some things I want to ask you."

Guo Jianjun waved to Guo Xiaolan.

Guo Xiaolan walked into the room and sat in the chair opposite Guo Jianjun.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"Lanlan, what kind of person do you think Liu Jia is?"

Guo Xiaolan was stunned and looked at Guo Jianjun with a puzzled expression.

"You've been getting quite close to him lately, you should know him well. I haven't had much contact with him, so I can't comment."

"What do you mean by 'cannot be evaluated'? It refers to your first impression."

Guo Jianjun persisted, pressing for answers.

Guo Xiaolan: "My evaluation is very simple: kind-hearted, smart and brave, capable, and good at studying."

If you don't study well, you won't get into university.

This point must be added.

Guo Jianjun stared at Guo Xiaolan without moving.

Guo Xiaolan was embarrassed by the stares.

"What's wrong? You're the one who told me to say it."

“I told you to say that you can’t put all the good things on him, that’s too much.”

Guo Xiaolan opened her mouth, about to say that it was no exaggeration at all, that was the impression Liu Jia gave me.

Fearing that Guo Jianjun might notice something, Guo Xiaolan ultimately kept quiet.

Guo Jianjun, however, was talking to himself.

"Tell me, how come Yan'er doesn't like Liu Jia, such a good person? Actually, I really hope they can be together."

"Liu Jia is good to our Yan'er, and the two of them are quite well-matched."

"If it weren't for all those previous entanglements of interests, they probably... would have ended up together."

Guo Jianjun's voice grew softer and softer.

It's unclear whether he was saying this to Guo Xiaolan or to himself.

By the time Guo Xiaolan recovered from Guo Jianjun's words, Guo Jianjun had already started snoring.

"Honestly, you talk too much after drinking, you're just muttering to yourself and I don't know what you're saying."

Guo Xiaolan complained, then pulled the blanket over Guo Jianjun.

After confirming that Guo Jianjun was alright, Guo Xiaolan quietly left.

Actually, what my elder brother said is right, Yan'er and Liu Jia are indeed a good match.

Liu Jia has a good temper and can tolerate Yan'er's eccentricities.

While acknowledging this, Guo Xiaolan's heart sank little by little.

No matter what, and from which perspective I look at it, I know I have no hope.

……

Liu Jia felt okay while eating at Lao Guo's house, but he couldn't quite find that slightly tipsy state.

After going outside, a gust of wind made Liu Jia feel much more energetic.

Aside from the slight smell of alcohol on him, you couldn't tell from his facial expression and gait that he had been drinking.

"We've finally gotten through this hurdle!"

Liu Jia breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just as Liu Jia took a step forward, intending to continue walking, his brows suddenly furrowed.

not far away.

There was a familiar figure there!

To get a better look, Liu Jia quickened his pace.

Before they even reached the person, the person suddenly shouted anxiously.

"Liu Jia!"

"Really you?"

Instantly, Liu Jia's voice turned icy, and even his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.

That look in his eyes was filled with disdain!

Zhang Yanzi!

The woman he hated so much has actually shown up now!

Back then, I saved her, but she turned around and tried to extort money from me!

In front of the entire Xili Village, he insisted that he marry her.

When it came time to get married, this woman ran away again!

Zhang Dalaba and Dachuizi insisted that they were involved!

So, he ended up taking the blame again!

She actually has the nerve to greet me now, this woman is really bold!

Liu Jia believed that if looks could kill, Zhang Yanzi in front of him would probably be dead by now!

With a cold expression, Liu Jia walked step by step toward Zhang Yanzi.

Feeling guilty, Zhang Yanzi awkwardly took two steps back, but eventually stopped.

"Zhang Yanzi, so you didn't go far after all?" Liu Jia asked coldly.

"I... Liu Jia, listen to me, I have my reasons!"

Liu Jia narrowed his eyes into slits.

I kept thinking that this sounded familiar.

Finally, a scene appeared in my mind.

I think I've seen Zhang Yanzi in the city before, back when she and Da Chuizi hadn't yet held their wedding ceremony.

It seems that Zhang Yanzi said something like that back then.

She always had a reason for speaking up, and she wanted me to listen to her explanation.

Why should I listen to her explanation?

Even a single word spoken to someone like that could lead to being framed!

"Zhang Yanzi, you'd better go back to Xili Village now and explain things clearly!"

Liu Jia's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was extremely firm.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yanzi shuddered violently and then shook her head frantically.

"No, no, Liu Jia, I can't go back!"

"My mother will beat me to death when I get back!"

"I know I've wronged you, and I've wronged the Zhang family, but I had no choice, Liu Jia. I really don't want to marry that fool!"

Liu Jia was taken aback.

Fool?

Is it a big sledgehammer?

Liu Jia admitted that Big Hammer was a bit slow-witted and stubborn.

This situation could at most be described as a lack of intelligence, so how did Zhang Yanzi come to see him as a fool?

Thankfully, these words didn't reach Big Hammer's ears. If Zhang Dalaba and Big Hammer knew that Zhang Yanzi had made such a comment about Big Hammer, it would probably have led to another verbal battle!

If that's the case, then even Swallow's mother can't protect Zhang Swallow!

Liu Jia didn't continue thinking about it. "What happened between you and Big Hammer has nothing to do with me. Whether you want to or not is your business, but you have to go back now!"

"No, I'd rather die out there than go back! You want me to marry that idiot? No way!"

Zhang Yanzi gritted her teeth, her eyes wide open.

It was only at this point that Liu Jia realized that Zhang Yanzi had changed a lot from before.

Zhang Yanzi had her hair permed into curls, and she was wearing very fashionable clothes.

In the past, Zhang Yanzi always wore black cloth shoes with multiple layers of soles, and when she went to work in the fields, she would also wear patched trousers.

Zhang Yanzi is now wearing little leather shoes, and even high heels.

Liu Jia realized that something must have happened to Zhang Yanzi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have undergone such a significant change.

Taking advantage of Liu Jia's momentary daze, Zhang Yanzi pleaded once again.

"Liu Jia, I'm desperate now, can you lend me some money?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back. As soon as I have the money, I'll pay you back first!"

"I promise I will never cheat you again, and I will never frame you again, I swear!"

After speaking, Zhang Yanzi looked around anxiously, appearing very cautious.

But Liu Jia felt an urge to laugh.

You'd have to believe Zhang Yanzi's words to believe them!

Originally, Zhang Yanzi's running away during her wedding was already a matter she couldn't explain herself.

Now that I've finally found her in the city, I actually want to lend her money? Is there something wrong with my head or what?

Perhaps this matter won't get out, but if it does reach the ears of the people in Xili Village, won't I be drowned in their spittle?

After getting the money, the first thing she did was show it to herself, which meant that Zhang Yanzi must have borrowed money from more than one person.

In Liu Jia's eyes, Zhang Yanzi is a liar!

What a complete and utter liar!

How do you say that?

Being kind to scammers is being cruel to yourself!

"I won't lend it to you, and you'd better go back to Xili Village!"

Liu Jia repeated the same sentence as before.

A hint of despair flashed in Zhang Yanzi's eyes as she rubbed her hands together vigorously.

Just then, someone came running towards them from not far away, shouting as they ran, "Yanzi, is that you? Yanzi, don't go!"

Upon hearing the shout, Zhang Yanzi quickly looked around.

Before Liu Jia could react, Zhang Yanzi took off running!

The sounds behind me were still ringing out, and they were getting more and more urgent.

"swallow!"

"Yanzi, you heartless wretch! Do you know how worried your mother was?"

"Stop right there!"

Liu Jia was speechless.

Is this person out of their mind?

They started shouting from a great distance, as if they were afraid Zhang Yanzi wouldn't be able to escape.

Besides, Zhang Yanzi is ruthless enough.

Wearing mid-heeled shoes, she disappeared in a flash!

How much pain must your feet hurt to run forward like that?

Liu Jia pursed his lips.

I definitely won't chase after him, mainly because I can't catch up with him.

Zhang Yanzi is running forward with all her might, and even if I were to chase after her with all my might, I might not be able to catch up.

Besides, Zhang Yanzi's elopement is in the past, and I've already made things clear.

Everyone already knew what was going on.

Is it worth wasting my time chasing after Zhang Yanzi just to get her to go back to Xili Village and explain herself?

Take it back or not!

Anyway, she's someone I can't see, and she's not my own mother.

Liu Jia wanted to continue walking forward, but was suddenly stopped by a figure.

"Liu Jia, why didn't you stop Zhang Yanzi just now? How could you let her get away?"

Only after asking the question did Liu Jia realize who was in front of him.

Zhang Dahai from Xili Village.

Liu Jia instantly understood why Zhang Dahai wanted Zhang Yanzi to stop.

Zhang Dahai and Zhang Yanzi both have the surname Zhang and belong to the same compound.

Although they weren't close relatives, according to family seniority, Zhang Yanzi still had to call Zhang Dahai "uncle."

I can understand why Zhang Dahai wants Zhang Yanzi to stay.

However, Zhang Dahai's explanation made Liu Jia feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What do you mean I let her get away? Which ear did you hear me say I let her get away?"

"But weren't you with her just now? If Yanzi tried to run away, you could have grabbed her and she wouldn't have been able to escape, right?"

Zhang Dahai frowned, his tone full of resentment.

Liu Jia sneered.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the ability or the obligation to help you catch people."

"What do you mean? What do you mean you're incompetent? I already called her over. Even if you were nearby, if you had helped, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape!"

Liu Jia didn't want to talk to the person in front of him, but he was still seething with anger inside.

Think about it, and just say it all at once.

"If you hadn't made such a fuss, Zhang Yanzi wouldn't have run away beforehand, and you even said that I let her go. Are you trying to put on a show for me?"

"You two are relatives, and you, as her uncle, wanted to help your niece escape, so you staged this whole thing?"

"To be honest, I really don't want to get involved in your family's mess. I have no connection with Zhang Yanzi and I have no obligation to help you."

"Whether you run away or stay is your business. It's your skill if you can't catch Zhang Yanzi. Don't make a scene here!"

As soon as Liu Jia opened his mouth, he rattled off a whole bunch of things.

Zhang Dahai, sitting opposite him, was completely bewildered.

When did Liu Jia's mouth become so sharp?
