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

"I won't forget it. Don't worry, see you then!"

When answering Guo Jianjun's question, Liu Jia didn't even turn his head.

Guo Xiaoyan was completely bewildered and looked at Guo Jianjun with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that Guo Jianjun didn't seem inclined to speak, Guo Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask.

"Brother, what did you talk about with Liu Jia? When do you meet? What are you planning?"

"It's nothing, don't make a fuss, it has nothing to do with you. Just do what you need to do and don't ask so many questions."

Guo Xiaoyan was stunned!

If it weren't for the hospital and the people around, I would have loved to punch Guo Jianjun on the shoulder!

What do you mean by "it's none of your business, just go about your business"?

Don't try to find out too much!

So now Guo Jianjun's relationship with Liu Jia is better than his relationship with himself?

Guo Jianjun and I are siblings, how could I have been outshone by Liu Jia?

Guo Xiaoyan tried to calm herself down, but her chest still heaved with anger.

In Guo Jianjun's eyes, he was clearly an outsider.

How could she be like this? She's his own sister!

Guo Xiaoyan felt increasingly aggrieved and rolled her eyes several times.

Realizing something was wrong, Guo Jianjun quickly tried to comfort Guo Xiaoyan.

"Yan'er, that's not what I meant. I meant that what I said to Liu Jia was a small matter that wouldn't affect you."

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. I'll take you out for something delicious."

"I promise you, when I get rich, I'll take you out to eat delicious food every day!"

Guo Jianjun doted on Guo Xiaoyan, treating her like a precious gem.

So when he saw Guo Xiaoyan was angry, Guo Jianjun felt guilty before anyone else could say anything.

"Judging from your grinning faces, I bet you're not up to anything. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have bothered asking!"

Guo Xiaoyan snorted and walked forward with a pout.

Guo Jianjun hurriedly followed, running several steps in a row.

the other side.

As soon as he stepped into the tractor's cab, Liu Xinguo began questioning Liu Jia.

The conversation revolved entirely around Guo Xiaoyan.

Normally, Liu Xinguo doesn't talk much, and he speaks very slowly.

So, after asking a lot of questions, Liu Xinguo's forehead was covered in sweat.

Liu Jia had answered the question many times, but Liu Xinguo just wouldn't believe him, and there was nothing Liu Jia could do.

Finally, Liu Jia had to explain again.

"Brother, I've told you, but you won't listen. You keep asking, but no matter how much you ask, my answer is always the same."

"I really met Guo Xiaoyan by chance; we hadn't contacted each other beforehand."

"Also, I'm not trying to get rid of you. If I really were going to go on a date with Guo Xiaoyan, would I not tell you what's going on? Before this, I had no idea I would meet Guo Xiaoyan."

Liu Jia looked very serious, and when he spoke, he was so anxious that he started blinking.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. So, is there any future for you and Xiao Yan'er?"

The last question was the one that Liu Xinguo cared about the most.

"What's the point of developing a relationship? We're divorced, there's no way we can be together."

Liu Xinguo became anxious upon hearing this.

"So what if you're divorced? Can't you get back together after a divorce?"

"There are plenty of divorced couples who remarry, why can't you two?"

“I can tell that Guo Xiaoyan is also quite attached to you, so don’t miss out.”

A few years ago, Liu Jia pursued Guo Xiaoyan like a madman.

He finally won over the woman he loved and got married, but then a major policy came down: educated youth were to return to the city.

Those educated youth who had been tempered in the village were desperate to go back, and they tried every means possible.

There are countless cases of genuine divorces and fake divorces.

Some educated youth even went so far as to abuse themselves in order to obtain a quota to return to the city.

Not eating is the least of their worries; in the dead of winter, some people even boil a basin of cold water on themselves and freeze in the yard for half the night.

They prescribed fractures, pneumonia, they were practically asking about infertility.

In comparison, Guo Xiaoyan's divorce from Liu Jia was a dignified affair.

With policies becoming more and more lenient, their remarriage is something the whole family has been hoping for.

But now that Liu Jia has said this, how can Liu Xinguo not be anxious?

"I understand, brother. Don't worry about this. Think more about my sister-in-law; she's pregnant!"

After saying that, Liu Jia quickly added, "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative again and buy some good food for my sister-in-law and the others."

"Your sister-in-law already has enough, don't buy any more."

"What kind of talk is that? My sister-in-law is working hard to provide nutrition for two people. If my nephew doesn't gain weight, that'll be your problem!"

With such a huge accusation pinned on his head, Liu Xinguo didn't know how to refute it.

In the end, he couldn't win the argument with Liu Jia.

So the two of them went back to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a lot of things, and then went home.

Everything went very smoothly over the next few days.

Liu Jia and Liu Xinguo delivered two truckloads of goods to Zhou Ping'an, and some bamboo in the bamboo forest of Dongli Village was also cut down.

It wasn't until this time that the people of Xili Village realized that Liu Jia hadn't lost money in business, nor was he planning to cut down all the bamboo to do something else; he was actually planning to expand his business!

Putting everything else aside, just the words "expanding the scale" left half of the onlookers dumbfounded!

Many people are waiting to see Liu Jia run out of options.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jia's path became wider and wider.

Since they were able to contract the bamboo forest in Dongli Village, it must mean the business was doing well.

In other words, if this bamboo forest in Xili Village wasn't profitable, why would Liu Jia be so foolish as to contract such a large area?

Liu Jia made money, and quite a lot of it!

For a while.

The news spread throughout the entire Xili Village.

People's perception of Liu Jia has also undergone a dramatic change.

Even Liu Yutian was suddenly hailed as a star.

One fawning remark followed another, and people started laughing even before they uttered a word...

Liu Yutian is an honest man; he has never been treated like a star before.

After being showered with concern and care for two days in a row, Liu Yutian didn't dare to go out.

Liu Jia simply smiled at this situation.

People like to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak; this has been true since ancient times.

As I said before, they have mouths, so let them say whatever they want!

All we can do right now is to do our best.

We'll talk about other things later!

After a busy period, Liu Jia finally got everything sorted out before the start of university.

All the factory affairs were left to his two older brothers and Li Zhenhe.

With Qin Tianming handling the business side, Liu Jia felt very reassured.

If there's anything I'm really worried about, it's my parents' health.

Liu Jia felt constantly worried because her school was hundreds of miles away from Yecheng and she couldn't be with her parents.

Liu Jianye and Liu Xinguo spoke a lot of heartfelt words to Liu Jia, which finally put Liu Jia's mind at ease.

With only two days left before he had to report for duty, Liu Jia had nothing to do.

Everything that should have been distributed was distributed, leaving me with nothing to do.

After wandering around the factory twice, Liu Jia decided to go back to be with his parents.

At this moment, Zhou Caixia suddenly called Liu Jia to a stop.

"Third Brother, are you busy today? My dad said he's making dumplings and wants you to come over for dinner!"

Liu Jia was taken aback.

"Why are you making dumplings at this time of year, when it's neither a holiday nor a festival? Has something good happened to your family?"

It's no wonder Liu Jia asked that question; these days, being able to eat dumplings is a big deal.

Normally, unless guests come to visit or it's a holiday, ordinary people don't eat dumplings.

Similarly, when it comes to entertaining guests, making dumplings is considered the highest form of etiquette.

Hearing Liu Jia ask this question, Zhou Caixia's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

"Look at what you're saying! Does that mean we can't eat dumplings during holidays? Just tell me, are you going or not?"

"I want to eat meat, and I want to eat two more bowls."

Liu Jia said that on purpose.

"Don't even mention two bowls, three bowls would be enough for you. My dad said that today's dumplings are made just for you, there will definitely be enough for you!"

Zhou Caixia's words only made Liu Jia more confused.

I was just thinking that Zhou Fengshou's family must have had some happy occasion, since they were making dumplings today, and I was going to go and have a couple of bowls.

Liu Jia was secretly delighted.

Unexpectedly, the dumplings were made for myself. How did this happen?

Liu Jia opened his mouth, about to ask something, when Zhou Caixia, mimicking Liu Jia, raised her eyebrows and said, "Hurry up, you don't have anything else to do anyway, let's go back together."

Liu Jia was completely confused, but in the end, she went back with Zhou Caixia.

Once outside the factory, Zhou Caixia slowed her pace.

"Third Brother, Song Meiru is gone, did you know?"

Even though Zhou Caixia knew perfectly well that Liu Jia knew about Song Meiru, she still deliberately asked that question.

"I know, didn't you leave a couple of days ago? Why are you only asking now?"

Liu Jia's rhetorical question left Zhou Caixia speechless.

Actually, I already knew that Song Meiru had left.

But Liu Jia didn't bring it up, and I didn't know how to bring it up, so I've been waiting until now.

Seeing that Liu Jia had almost forgotten about Song Meiru, Zhou Caixia couldn't help but bring it up again.

"Actually, I knew she was gone a long time ago. Not only did I know, but everyone in the factory knew. But if you didn't say anything, no one dared to bring it up."

"What?"

"Because she's a relative of Guo Xiaoyan, such a sensitive relationship, if you don't bring it up yourself, who would dare to say it?"

Zhou Caixia's remark about "Guo Xiaoyan's relatives" reminded Liu Jia.

No wonder everyone's been looking at me strangely these past two days; it turns out they're all worried about Song Meiru leaving.

No, to be more precise, it should be about Zhang Meiting leaving.

Liu Jia slowed down and glanced at Zhou Caixia.

But in his heart, he was wondering whether he should tell her the truth.

If we were to explain everything, it wouldn't be something that could be done in just a few words.

With so many people and so many things involved, if Zhou Caixia continues to ask questions, it would probably take an hour to explain everything.

Finally, Liu Jia decided to simply say that Song Meiru was a relative of Guo Xiaoyan!

That makes things simple.

Why are you staring at me like that? Say something!

Zhou Caixia was an impatient person, and seeing Liu Jia like this, she raised her voice.

Liu Jia slowly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's because of you gossipy people that Song Meiru doesn't know what to do, so she doesn't want to stay anymore."

Zhou Caixia was stunned for a moment, and then her mouth formed a wide grin.

Not only that, but its eyes were also blinking rapidly.

"No way, Third Brother, did Sister Song really leave because of this?"

"Of course it's true. She made everything clear when she left, so I didn't keep her around."

As the lie continued, Liu Jia's expression remained unchanged, and even his heartbeat didn't quicken.

On the other hand, Zhou Caixia looked apologetic.

Regardless of whether Liu Jia was listening to her or not, Zhou Caixia muttered softly.

"It's a bit of a pity. Actually, Sister Song is a very nice person. She has a good temper and is very honest."

"I didn't expect her to be so sensitive. Could it be that she felt embarrassed because of our joke?"

"Never mind all that, I didn't say anything anyway, this has nothing to do with me."
