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

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, a question arose from the crowd.

“Sanzi, we’re from the same village, so you can’t sell your clay pots too expensively, or you won’t be able to make a living.”

Liu Jia immediately picked up the conversation.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I guarantee it will be much cheaper than the clay pots at the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Our clay pots are second-grade products. Each one has some minor flaws, so you can pick them out carefully. The price goes without saying."

“We’re all from the same village. If I were to sell inferior goods as superior ones, I would be letting down my fellow villagers.”

While everyone was asking questions, Liu Jia explained the situation with the casserole once again.

It's much better to address any issues upfront than to bring them up later when there's a problem.

Moreover.

The reason people gathered around to look at the casserole was because it was cheap. Although they knew in their hearts that the quality couldn't compare to the products from the supply and marketing cooperative, it made all the difference when Liu Jia said it.

This can only prove one thing: Liu Jia is honest.

While they were talking, many people went into the production team and began to pick and choose among the clay pots on display.

A row of casserole dishes were placed in front of Qin Tianming as he spoke the words Liu Jia had taught him.

At first, Qin Tianming spoke somewhat haltingly, but as people asked more questions, he answered more often.

It's not a big deal.

Qin Tianming was already able to answer all of their questions fluently.

"Auntie, this clay pot of ours can not only be used to stew meat, but also to stew vegetables."

"Put the fire on, put the casserole in, throw in a few pieces of tofu, add a few cabbage leaves, some soy sauce, some broth, and garnish with chopped green onions when it's done. It's definitely much tastier than stir-frying."

"The clay pot is made of coarse sand, so remember to season it."

"It's simple to prepare the porridge. Just soak it in rice water, then cook it in the pot again. If you have the ingredients, you can add some lard, but you can skip that step."

"Please keep your casserole safe. I've already taken the money. Take care."

Qin Tianming was busy borrowing money while answering questions from the people around him; he couldn't keep up with everything by himself.

Seeing this, Zhou Fengshou quickly made a suggestion to Liu Jia.

“They’ve finished work now. I’ll watch the place for a while. You go and find your family to come over. At this rate, the two of you might not be able to manage.”

Liu Jia then realized what was happening, quickly nodded, and ran towards the factory.

I can't go home right now.

Even if I call my father here when I get home, he won't be of much help.

My second brother and eldest brother both work at the factory. If they have something to do, I can call Zhao Xiaochao and the others over.

Having made up his mind, Liu Jia quickened his pace.

To prevent chaos from breaking out, Zhou Fengshou also started to help.

Seeing that someone had bought the casserole, the others could no longer remain calm.

That's how people in the village are.

When they see someone buying something, other people's eyes will widen in surprise.

Especially when they saw those who were happily carrying away their clay pots, the rest of the people wanted to squeeze to the front.

"See Old Li? He's holding a clay pot, and he's grinning from ear to ear. He must have picked a good one."

"We need to be careful, so we don't pick one with a big problem to take back."

"I'm so anxious! They all look so good to me."

"These clay pots are cheap, perfect for stewing dishes in winter. You can still buy good ones now, otherwise they won't be available anymore!"

"This is mine, I'm claiming it first!"

Seeing the chaos, Zhou Fengshou couldn't help but smile.

The policies are becoming more and more lenient.

The authorities have begun to encourage people to start small businesses.

Ordinary people are just timid, afraid that if they lose money in business, they won't be able to pay it back later.

Liu Jia, however, was different; he was young and courageous.

Once he takes the lead, I believe the trend of doing business will definitely spread to Xili Village.

In the end, Xili Village might be the first to get rich!

"Captain, catch the money! Why are you spacing out?"

Someone in the crowd said something.

Zhou Fengshou finally came to his senses and quickly accepted the money with a smile.

Liu Jia has a good eye for talent.

Selling like this, we're sure to make a fortune!

Driven by a competitive mentality and the fact that the casserole dishes were cheap, Liu Jia and Liu Xinguo worked until dusk.

Once the sun has set, minor ailments naturally become invisible.

Many people were still examining the clay pots they were holding, turning them over and over, when Liu Jia spoke again.

"Don't worry, everyone. The casserole is at my house. We can buy it again tomorrow."

“It’s hard to see clearly now. If we buy something with serious problems, it will be a real problem, and you’ll have to make another trip.”

"Let's call it a day. Tomorrow morning when you finish work, I'll make sure you see the new clay pot laid out, okay?"

When Liu Jia spoke, his tone was entirely consultative.

Although everyone was reluctant, they still put down the clay pots they were holding.

Finally, seeing Liu Jia loading the casserole into the car, everyone turned and left.

Before leaving, there was another round of discussion.

"Look at those sons of the Liu family, they're getting more and more successful, it's really enviable!"

"Especially the third son, he's incredibly shrewd. How could he possibly get into university when he's always thinking about how to make money?"

"Old Liu is living a life of luxury. If I were him, I would be lying on the kang (heated brick bed) every day, doing nothing."

"It's a pity you're not Lao Liu, so don't worry about it for him."

"I'm getting off topic. We need to get to the production team early tomorrow, or all the good clay pots will be taken by others."

"..."

The group discussed it amongst themselves, their voices filled with envy and jealousy.

Liu Jia first parked the tractor at the factory before going home with Liu Xinguo and the others.

Once on the road, Liu Xinguo asked in confusion.

"Sanzi, didn't you take Tianming to discuss business? Why did you bring back a whole truckload of casserole dishes?"

Liu Jia couldn't stop smiling.

"Isn't this just discussing business and making deals? It's within our business scope, so there's no conflict."

No sooner had Liu Jia finished speaking than Qin Tianming immediately chimed in.

“Yes, eldest brother, there’s no contradiction at all. My third brother is right.”

"Look, in just one day, Sanzi has already won you over. Your third brother was right, he has a good eye!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Xinguo reached out and patted Liu Jia's head, just like when they were children.

Then, he patted Qin Tianming's head.

Qin Tianming's eyes welled up with tears.

Before, when I lived at my aunt's house, my older brother Liu Xinguo would often take them out to play.

When I'm happy, I touch my head like this.

Now, after many years, I never expected that he would still be the same as before.

The three of them walked forward while talking.

Just as they were about to reach their doorstep, Liu Xinguo suddenly turned to look at Qin Chunyan beside him.

"Chunyan, are you tired? Why don't we take a break?"

Qin Chunyan blushed and quickly shook her head.

Because of nervousness, my voice became hesitant and stuttering.

"I'm fine, go back, I'm really fine."

"If you feel tired, let's take a break, but don't overexert yourselves."

Liu Xinguo added another sentence.

Qin Chunyan lowered her head as low as she could, her face turning red all the way to the roots of her neck.

The young couple's few words made Liu Jia and Qin Tianming turn their heads at the same time.

Liu Jia, in particular, stared at his elder brother Liu Xinguo in disbelief.

My older brother is a slow-paced person and doesn't know how to say sweet words.

This is somewhat similar to the personality of my sister-in-law, Qin Chunyan.

Neither of them talks much today, what's wrong with them?

They started showing affection in front of the two of them?

"Brother, you've made your wife blush. We don't mind, but we're worried she might feel embarrassed."

The more Liu Jiayue said this, the more embarrassed Qin Chunyan felt.

Liu Xinguo deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting until Qin Chunyan caught up with him before happily saying, "What's there to be embarrassed about? This can't be kept secret forever; they'll find out sooner or later."

"What do you mean 'we'll know sooner or later'? What's going on?"

Liu Xinguo was happy, and Liu Jia had already noticed it.

But Liu Jia couldn't guess what made him happy.

At this time.

Qin Chunyan turned her head away shyly and muttered something in a very soft voice.

"Look at you, you said you'd wait two months before telling me, and now you can't hold it in anymore."

"I'm so happy! I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I can't keep it to myself, I'm going to tell my parents today."

Qin Chunyan was speechless, unsure of what to say.

Liu Jia suddenly thought of something.

"Brother, shouldn't I have a nephew by now?"

“Yes, Sanzi is the smartest,” Liu Xinguo grinned. “Chunyan, I didn’t say that. Sanzi guessed it. I didn’t say anything.”

Qin Chunyan quickened her pace without turning her head.

"I'm ignoring you all, I'm going to help Mom cook!"

Seeing his sister-in-law run away shyly, Liu Jia was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

Very good!

Another baby is coming to our family!

Whether it's a nephew or a niece, the birth of a new life is definitely something to celebrate!

Sudden.

Liu Jia thought of something else.

"Brother, how could we be so foolish? Everyone's scrambling to buy our casserole dishes, why didn't we say we'd bring one back to use?"

"You can stew meat in a clay pot or make porridge. Sister-in-law is going through a very special time right now, so she needs to get more nutrition!"

"We have plenty of clay pots; if one breaks, we'll just replace it with a new one. We absolutely cannot let my nephew and niece suffer any injustice!"

"It's getting late today, I'll buy some meat tomorrow. From now on, you won't have to cook for yourselves anymore, I'll show you how to cook!"

Liu Jia became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice grew louder and louder.

Liu Xinguo nodded repeatedly.

Last time, Liu Jia stir-fried pork slices with green peppers, and he still remembers the taste of that dish.

It was absolutely delicious.

Now, hearing that Liu Jia is going to show off his skills to everyone, Liu Xinguo swallowed hard.

At the dinner table.

Without a doubt, Liu Jia told everyone the news of Qin Chunyan's pregnancy.

Liu Xinguo reiterated that if the words didn't come from his own mouth, then it wasn't his fault.

Qin Chunyan was not angry about this; her face just turned even redder with embarrassment.

Zhang Guilan was the first person to stand up nervously.

"Big Swallow, how come you didn't tell your mother about something so important? How many months has it been? Have you had any symptoms yet?"

Zhang Guilan didn't care about anything else now and asked Qin Chunyan in front of everyone.

Qin Chunyan lowered her head, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and her hand holding the chopsticks trembled involuntarily.

"Mom, it's been over two months. I've been feeling sleepy lately, and I only found out after I went to the clinic."

Zhang Guilan was so anxious that she kept slapping her thigh.

"Oh my God, really!"

"This is my fault. I should have asked you more questions. It's been more than two months. How come we didn't know before?"

"Xin Guo, you can't let Da Yan'er do heavy work anymore. Be careful, understand?"

Zhang Guilan looked at Liu Xinguo while giving him instructions.

Liu Xinguo couldn't even remember how many times he nodded.

Qin Chunyan didn't dare to look up at everyone.

Around a square table, apart from myself and my mother-in-law who are women, everyone else is a man.

Father-in-law, husband, brother-in-law.

There is also a cousin-in-law.

It's incredibly embarrassing to talk about having children in front of everyone.
