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

Just as Peng Shunnian picked up the steamed bun to take a bite, he heard Liu Jia ask this question.

"His character? No doubt about it. I've known Lao Zhou for a long time, and I even met his daughter when she was little."

"When you were a kid?"

Liu Jia deliberately dragged out the last syllable, feigning confusion.

"Yes, there's a lot of work at the machine factory, so we often have to work overtime. Old Zhou's wife isn't in good health, and their child has been staying with his maternal grandparents. He just came back this year."

Liu Jia said "oh" and slowed down the speed at which he chewed the steamed bun.

Seeing that Liu Jia and Peng Shunnian were talking non-stop, Li Zhenhe found it boring and simply urged them to hurry up.

"Dude, why are you making this sound like a blind date? Why are you asking so many detailed questions?"

Liu Jia smiled.

"It's nothing. These days, it's all about getting to know each other better. It's always good to ask more questions."

On the surface, Liu Jia was saying these words to Li Zhenhe, but in reality, he wanted to give Peng Shunnian a heads-up.

As the three were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jia heard a loud voice.

"Dad, I'm back. My cousin hasn't left yet, has he?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Shunnian quickly put down his chopsticks, his voice filled with resentment.

"No, what time is it that you're only just getting back? Go wash your hands and eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bamboo curtain was lifted.

Peng Tianliang was wearing a white polyester shirt and carrying a military bag. He saw Liu Jia as soon as he entered the room.

"Dad, do we have guests at home?"

Peng Shunnian immediately grinned from ear to ear.

"Sort of, not really. This is my new apprentice. From now on, you'll have to call him 'brother'."

Peng Tianliang was taken aback and looked at Liu Jia with suspicion.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call me 'brother'!"

At this point, Peng Shunnian couldn't wait any longer and began to urge them on.

Peng Tianliang was obedient enough to call out to him, "Brother!"

Liu Jia hadn't expected Peng Tianliang to be so efficient.

When I finally agreed, I felt a little embarrassed.

After putting down his military bag, Peng Tianliang washed his hands and then sat down at the dining table.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

The four of them chatted amongst themselves, and soon Li Zhenhe asked about Peng Tianliang's girlfriend.

Peng Tianliang scratched his head sheepishly; a grown man, his face had actually turned red!

"Cousin, where did you hear that? What do you mean, my girlfriend? We haven't even settled things yet."

"Don't keep it to yourself. Your uncle has already told us. Let me tell you, if you're going to marry a wife, you should find a decent and honest girl."

"understood."

As he spoke, Peng Tianliang became embarrassed again.

Liu Jia could see clearly that although Peng Tianliang kept agreeing, he didn't take Li Zhenhe's words to heart at all.

I've been through something like this myself.

Peng Tianliang's current state is not much different from when he was pursuing Guo Xiaoyan.

It's a classic case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder.

To put it bluntly, at this moment, Peng Tianliang probably thought even the pockmarks on the other person's face were attractive.

Upon hearing that Li Zhenhe had arrived in a Gazi car, Peng Tianliang immediately became excited and begged Li Zhenhe to take him for a drive.

"No, there's no room for you in the car."

"Squeeze in, okay? This is such a great opportunity, let me show off a bit!"

Show off?

Liu Jia quickly realized the meaning behind Peng Tianliang's words.

He wanted to show off in front of his girlfriend.

This is an opportunity!

So, without waiting for Li Zhenhe to say anything, Liu Jia immediately agreed.

"Brother Li, you've come all this way, so let's squeeze in. It'll be more lively with more people."

Seeing that Liu Jia had agreed, Li Zhenhe reluctantly agreed as well.

At this moment, Peng Tianliang winked at Li Zhenhe.

"Cousin, there's one more person."

"Who is it? You squeezed your way in, who else do you think you could bring with you?"

Hearing that someone else was following, Li Zhenhe frowned, his small eyes widening in surprise.

Liu Jia forced himself to keep from laughing out loud.

Li Zhenhe isn't stupid, so why is he suddenly so clueless?

"Cough cough!"

Peng Shunnian coughed twice. "You guys keep eating. I'll go pour some tea."

The three young people were talking, and he obviously couldn't get a word in edgewise.

To avoid embarrassment, Peng Shunnian made an excuse and went to the north room.

After his father left, Peng Tianliang became bolder.

"Zhou Xiuli is my...girlfriend."

"Alright, alright, you're such a busybody. But let's make it clear first, I need to finish my business before I can take you out for a stroll."

Li Zhenhe rolled his eyes impatiently.

Across from him, Peng Tianliang had already stood up happily. "Okay, cousin, you eat first. I'll go tell Xiuli!"

After saying that, Peng Tianliang ran away in a flash.

Li Zhenhe smirked at Liu Jia, "See? He's a wife-obsessed guy too. He'll definitely be afraid of his wife in the future."

……

Li Zhenhe came to Qingcheng to look at bicycles.

It wasn't about ordering bicycles in bulk, but rather comparing the price difference between their city and Qingcheng.

Li Zhenhe took a small notebook and a pen, so that he could easily write down all the information he had obtained.

Thinking that this was Li Zhenhe's job, Liu Jia's expression also became serious.

"This time I need to find out the general price range for the 28-inch model, and also ask about the price of the lightweight half-chain box model."

"Those with added weight and brakes will definitely cost more."

"I wonder how much a 28-inch full-chain box costs."

"The locks cost two yuan in total, so I won't worry about the price difference. If you like the style, just buy some here to take home."

Li Zhenhe told Liu Jia that it's not easy for people to pool their money to buy a bicycle, and most people give away the lock when they buy the bike, so they don't need to spend too much time on the lock.

As Liu Jia walked and listened, he couldn't help but nod in approval when he heard Li Zhenhe explain the business matters so clearly.

"Brother Li, your skills are pretty good, you have a bright future!"

As she spoke, Lan Liujia gave a thumbs-up.

Li Zhenhe was a little embarrassed by Liu Jia's praise. "There's nothing I can do about it. I deal with these things all day long, so it's hard not to remember them."

"I was just thinking of getting one to take back with me, maybe I should just buy it here?"

Li Zhenhe perked up immediately, "Okay, but we need to compare prices and buy from the cheapest option. We can't let the money go to waste."

Although he had recently received an unexpected income, Li Zhenhe reminded himself more than once that he couldn't squander the money.

"Brother Li is right."

The two talked as they walked and soon arrived at the Qingcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

First, there's the daily necessities section, then the department store section, and the candy section. The supply and marketing cooperative has everything that people need.

Just like the propaganda slogan above says, "Develop the economy and ensure supply."

With so many different things stored in the supply and marketing cooperative, it created the unique atmosphere of the cooperative.

Soon, Liu Jia learned the price of the bicycles here.

Phoenix and Yongzhijiu are both important brands, and the extra-heavy ones are six yuan more expensive than the regular ones.

Liu Jia didn't look at the lightweight bicycle with a half-chainring.

I didn't plan to buy this style, so I don't want to waste time on it.

In addition to paying cash, you also need to add industrial vouchers.

A regular bicycle costs twenty industrial coupons, while a heavier one costs twenty-two.

Liu Jia had already thought about the industrial voucher proposal.

When Liu Yutian and Zhang Guilan asked about it later, he said that several people had chipped in together.

Otherwise, if I suddenly had so many industrial products in my hands, I'd scare them half to death!

Liu Jia looked at it and pondered it.

Li Zhenhe listened to the salesperson's explanation while taking notes in his notebook.

"Brother Li, I think the Yongzhijiu brand is more durable, isn't it?"

Liu Jia's gaze fell on a Yongzhijiu bicycle.

Before Li Zhenhe could answer, a woman's voice suddenly came over.

"I'll just ride a 26-inch bike. Can you buy it for me in the next three days?"

The woman's voice was very sweet, the kind that's definitely coquettish.

Liu Jia instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman winking at a man.

Those eyes, they were so intense they could practically stretch into silk!

"Okay, if you're lucky these next couple of days, you better serve me well, and I'll definitely buy you a bicycle!"

The man grinned, his face a lewd and disgusting sight.

When no one was looking, he even reached out and pinched the woman's waist!

Liu Jia gasped!

Holy crap, this feels a bit like cheating on someone.
