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

Liu Jia didn't respond, put the meat on the cutting board, and then turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, Liu Jia, this cutting board is too heavy, could you help me move it?"

"Just go to the big tree over there, it'll be shady enough."

Wang Liqing pointed to a large tree next to her.

Liu Jia nodded, and without saying a word, picked up the cutting board and left.

Not far away, Cao Xiangyang saw this scene and was overjoyed.

Guo Xiaoyan knew best whether Liu Jia could make dumplings or not.

While others might not know the details of the relationship between Guo Xiaoyan and Liu Jia, she herself knew it perfectly well.

Now that Guo Xiaoyan isn't speaking up for Liu Jia, it means that she no longer cares about him.

That's why he remained unmoved despite others mocking Liu Jia.

"Do you need any help here? I can lend a hand; we can get it done faster if we all work together."

Cao Zhengyang was sincere and took the initiative to come up to Wang Liqing to ask her questions.

Liu Ru stared coldly at the man in front of her, her heart sinking deeper and deeper.

He didn't treat me like this just now.

That disgust seemed to come from the very core of my being.

But now that he's heard they're going to make dumplings, he's all over the place again. Anyone with eyes can see what this man is thinking.

He just wanted to get close to Guo Xiaoyan!

"No need, you go and start the fire. When the bones are almost done stewing, our dumplings will be ready too."

Wang Liqing seemed to have seen through Cao Xiangyang's purpose and immediately thought of getting him away.

Cao Xiangyang chuckled awkwardly twice, but showed no intention of leaving, his eyes fixed on Liu Jia not far away.

By this time, Liu Jia had already set up the cutting board.

Cao Xiangyang had also made up his mind that he would not move as long as Liu Jia did not leave.

Everyone here is from Yecheng and is here for a fellow townsman's gathering.

Why should Liu Jia receive special treatment?

Cao Xiangyang dawdled, waiting for Liu Jia to arrive.

The girls were already busy and paid no attention to Cao Xiangyang.

Guo Xiaoyan held a rolling pin, Wang Liqing carried a mixing bowl, Liu Ru carried a bowl for serving vegetables, and the remaining female classmate held a stool in each hand.

Everyone was walking towards the big tree.

He soon met with Liu Jia.

Suddenly, Guo Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise.

"oops!"

In her haste to leave, Guo Xiaoyan suddenly dropped a rolling pin!

Besides panic.

Guo Xiaoyan bent down to cut the rolling pin, but Liu Jia beat her to it.

"Here you go, why can't you be a little more careful?"

"I didn't mean to. My hand just slipped, and I felt like I was going to fall like that."

"I'll take it to the water to wash it. You guys go ahead with your work."

Guo Xiaoyan's heart tightened suddenly.

When everyone was joking about Liu Jia earlier, I didn't stand up for the Li family. Now, Liu Jia is thinking of helping me wash the rolling pin.

Compared to this, Guo Xiaoyan really felt a little guilty.

Guo Xiaoyan bit her lip, about to nod, when Cao Xiangyang's voice suddenly came over.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

"You two are whispering in public."

"Liu Jia, this is where the female students work. What are you doing lingering here?"

"This is outrageous; they don't even consider the consequences."

Cao Xiangyang's voice grew louder with each sentence, and the last sentence was almost shouted.

Upon hearing this, the other male students couldn't help but look towards Liu Jia.

Although no one said anything, everyone's eyes held a strange look.

Liu Jia frowned, a cold glint flashing across his face.

Cao Xiangyang, this guy is clearly doing this on purpose!

What do you mean by gossiping?

Are you blind?

Guo Xiaoyan dropped her rolling pin on the ground, and I was just helping her pick it up, but you made such a big fuss about it. You really seem to thrive on chaos!

Liu Jia snorted coldly in his heart, his gaze sharpening.

Cao Xiangyang's heart trembled, but he remained stubborn.

"What, you're not happy with what I said? That's just how it is!"

Seeing this, Li Yang smiled and said, "Liu Jia, come over when you're done. We're waiting for you to take charge of the cooking!"

This sounds like a brief urging, but somehow it just feels awkward.

Will you come over as soon as you're done?

What's the meaning!

They really thought they were specifically targeting the women!

Liu Jia was furious, and his brows furrowed.

Liu Xiaohu suddenly stepped forward and challenged Cao Xiangyang to a serious argument.

"Hey, what are you bluffing about? Didn't you hear Comrade Wang just tell Liu Jia to bring the meat over?"

"As soon as the meat was put down, they made Liu Jia move the cutting board under the big tree."

"Someone dropped their rolling pin, and Liu Jia helped pick it up, and now you're making a huge fuss?"

"I said, can you at least watch your words when you speak? What's with all this talk about being mindful of your impact? Shouldn't comrades help each other?"

"Your cold-hearted and selfish attitude shows that your thinking is outdated!"

As soon as he started talking, Liu Xiaohu launched into a long speech.

Cao Xiangyang was completely stunned.

After this barrage of words, Cao Xiangyang felt like his brain was completely overwhelmed.

A moment ago, Cao Xiangyang had already made up his mind.

Although he had gone a bit too far, if Liu Jia were to step forward and explain at this point, it would inevitably leave a bad impression.

Being petty, narrow-minded, unforgiving, or even worse.

But if it's not explained.

Few people saw the whole scene just now, and people will inevitably have some wild speculations.

Therefore, it would be inappropriate for Liu Jia to speak or not.

But before long, Liu Xiaohu suddenly appeared.

The matter was explained clearly in no time.

Moreover, his questioning left him speechless.

What's even more infuriating is that even those who were just puzzled are now praising Liu Jia.

Liu Jia didn't say anything.

Take the rolling pin to the bucket of water and bend down to wash it.

He didn't seem to have taken what had just happened to heart.

However, Cao Xiangyang's heart was in his throat.

Given how I treated Liu Jia, Liu Jia certainly wouldn't let the matter rest!

He may not say anything now, but he'll definitely find fault with himself later.

Prior to this, Cao Xiangyang had also made some considerations.

Even if Liu Jia causes me trouble in the future, it doesn't matter. As long as I can ruin Liu Jia's reputation, it's worth it even if Liu Jia trips me up.

But now things have turned out badly; they tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!

People not only didn't despise Liu Jia, but they themselves were also verbally abused by Liu Xiaohu.

What is this thing called?

Cao Cao Yang hadn't figured out how to respond to Liu Xiaohu; at that moment, he was completely bewildered.

Liu Xiaohu raised his voice and shouted.

"Tell me then, why are you framing someone for no reason?"

“I saw it clearly just now: Liu Jia was called over by Comrade Wang, but you came over on your own initiative!”

"What do you mean by always hanging around women?"

"What do you want to do?"

Cao Xiangyang was so embarrassed that he turned red in the face and couldn't say a word.

This feeling of being thrust into the spotlight is truly unbearable!

Unfortunately, what Liu Xiaohu said was true, and he couldn't refute it even if he wanted to!

Once everyone understood what was going on, they got started.

Someone in the crowd said something.

"I remember on the first day of moving bricks, this classmate went to the girls' workplace, and everyone looked for him for a long time!"

As soon as these words came out.

Cao Xiangyang wished he could turn around and run away.

Just then, several girls started making fun of Cao Xiangyang.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Cao Xiangyang's face turned pale!

As Liu Jia drew closer and closer, Cao Xiangyang grew increasingly nervous.

Finally, Cao Xiangyang heard Liu Jia's voice.

"Cao Xiangyang, you don't want some peace and quiet, do you?"

"If you want to live here quietly for a few years, then keep your mouth shut."

"Otherwise, if I'm ever unhappy, don't blame me for spilling your dirty laundry."

"Let me think first. Should I tell you that you changed your name to Zhao Ligang, or should I tell you about your health problems?"

Before Liu Jia could continue speaking, Cao Xiangyang's legs began to go weak.

Ignoring the stares that were directed at him, Cao Xiangyang suddenly squatted down on the ground.

"Liu Jia, I didn't mean it. I just had a sharp tongue. Please don't take it to heart!"

"From now on, I will definitely watch my mouth. Don't worry about that, I won't talk nonsense!"

"I promise, I really..."

Before Cao Xiangyang could finish speaking, Liu Jia had already started walking away.

In Liu Jia's view, Cao Xiangyang's guarantee was pure bullshit!

If you believe Cao Xiangyang, you're in for a world of trouble!

"Zhao Ligang, what's wrong? Come here quickly, we need to cook some dishes!"

Seeing Cao Xiangyang squatting on the ground without moving, Li Yang couldn't help but urge him on.

Cao Xiangyang stammered as he continued, "Oh, I'll be right there. I suddenly feel a little dizzy, I need to rest for a bit."

"Look at you, a grown man, how come you have more problems than a woman? Hurry up!"

Li Yang's words made everyone burst into laughter, but Cao Xiangyang couldn't laugh at all.

If it weren't for what Liu Jia just said, Cao Xiangyang might have laughed along with everyone else.

But now, Cao Xiangyang is filled with fear and trepidation.

Although Liu Jia had left, Cao Xiangyang's heart was still uneasy.

Liu Jia knew about his name change.

Liu Jia probably had some idea of ​​what was going on behind the name change.

Regardless of whether Liu Jia has any concrete evidence, the consequences would be unimaginable if he were to reveal this matter.

This matter absolutely cannot be revealed.

Otherwise, I would be ruined, and my parents might also be implicated.

If Dad really gets fired from the factory, what can their family hope for?

As for his physical health, Cao Xiangyang dared not let anyone know.

While Liu Jia had no evidence regarding the name, he was perfectly aware of the physical defects.

Cao Xiangyang dared not think any further; his forehead was already covered in sweat.

I tried to muster my strength to stand up, but my legs felt like they were made of lead and I couldn't lift them at all.

For the men.

Some people have started making a fuss about Cao Xiangyang again.

"What's wrong? Why is she squatting there and not moving? Is she really not feeling well?"

"That's quite possible, but we can't rule out the possibility that he's faking it."

"Last time, didn't he go to hang out with the women to avoid doing more physical work?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Another burst of laughter rang out, and Cao Xiangyang felt so embarrassed that his ears started to burn.

Gritting his teeth, Cao Xiangyang forced himself to go to the big iron pot.

At this moment, Liu Jia had already put oil in the pot.

Watching Liu Jia skillfully prepare the food, Cao Xiangyang was so envious he almost vomited blood.

one hour later.

The bones are edible now.

The aroma wafted from the iron pot, and many people were already salivating.

Everyone knows that there's not much meat to gnaw on these bones, but as long as you can drink the broth, it's quite nice.

The dumplings are all wrapped and ready to be cooked.

"You ladies, don't just stand there! We've already fished the meat out, come over here right now!"

Li Yang greeted Wang Liqing and the others, but his gaze lingered on Guo Xiaoyan.

Just now, Guo Xiaoyan raised her hand and smoothed her hair.

When that fair little hand moved her hair behind her ear, Li Yang could see it clearly.

So beautiful!

No wonder people say Guo Xiaoyan is a fairy from heaven; even her casual gestures are captivating.

Now Li Yang seems to understand why Zhao Ligang has been so focused on Guo Xiaoyan.

A beautiful and graceful lady is the object of a gentleman's affections!

That's absolutely true.
