"Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?"

Guo Xiaoyan rolled her eyes.

Liu Jia burst out laughing.

"No rush, we don't need to buy tickets or squeeze onto the train, why be so nervous?"

Guo Xiaoyan opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Liu Jia is right, they are a private car service.

But for some reason, seeing Liu Jia's leisurely and carefree appearance made Guo Xiaoyan angry.

No matter what you do, you're always unhurried. Don't you know time is of the essence?

Thinking about how Liu Jia had been constantly giving her advice and instructions lately, Guo Xiaoyan felt like a child who hadn't grown up.

same.

Whenever something happens, Guo Xiaoyan instinctively thinks of consulting with Liu Jia.

I don't know when this sense of dependence started.

Perhaps it's because I'm unfamiliar with this place and don't know anyone else.

Liu Jiaren isn't a bad person, which is why I instinctively thought of him.

Whenever these problems troubled her, Guo Xiaoyan would use this set of words to comfort herself.

In fact, Guo Xiaoyan was also aware that her feelings for Liu Jia were no longer the same as before.

Guo Xiaoyan sighed quietly and frowned again.

Given all that has happened between me and Liu Jia in the past, is it possible for us to get back together?

Even if a broken mirror is glued back together, the cracks will still remain.

"What are you daydreaming about? You don't want to leave, do you? Hurry up and grab your luggage, I'll help you carry it."

Liu Jia's voice came again, and Guo Xiaoyan finally came to her senses.

"I don't have much stuff, but I think I'll have more luggage when I come."

It's National Day now, so we need to take those light clothes back with us.

This time, I brought some thick clothes.

Moreover, there are still two months until New Year's Day, which is almost twice as long as this time.

Guo Xiaoyan was mentally calculating the time and thinking about what to take back, her mind wandering.

Only when they arrived at the school gate and saw Guo Jianjun jump out of the car did Guo Xiaoyan shout like a child, "Brother!"

"I see you! Stop running! Stop running! Don't fall!" Guo Jianjun called out to Guo Xiaoyan while looking at Liu Jia. "Sanzi, hold her tight! Don't let her fall!"

Liu Jia was both amused and exasperated.

How old is Guo Xiaoyan? She's already an adult. How could she possibly fall down after running a few steps?

Speechless.

Liu Jia then showed an envious expression.

Guo Jianjun is truly exceptional in his treatment of his younger sister, Guo Xiaoyan!

It's the kind of thing that's completely open and honest!

After getting on the bus, Guo Jianjun began to report on the situation at the factory, explaining everything he knew in detail.

Upon learning that everything was proceeding smoothly, Liu Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time when I go back, I'll attend my second brother's wedding in a relaxed manner, and then come back to school in a relaxed manner."

Liu Jia was laughing so hard his mouth was practically splitting open to the back of his head.

Guo Xiaoyan couldn't help but turn around.

"Is my second brother getting married?"

"Yes, during the National Day holiday, while everyone is here, the family is planning to hold my second brother's wedding with Sister Hongmei."

After Liu Jia finished speaking, Guo Xiaoyan didn't pick up the thread.

During the three years in Xili Village, Liu Jianye treated me well, including his fiancée Cui Hongmei, who treated me like a younger sister.

Knowing that they were getting married, I knew I had to give them a gift.

But Guo Xiaoyan felt that going to Xili Village was somewhat inappropriate.

After thinking for a moment, Guo Xiaoyan took out five yuan.

"Liu Jia, I'm not going back. Could you please help me take back the gift money?"

"I think it's better to forget about it. It's enough that Second Brother and Sister Hongmei know what you're thinking. I'll pass on the message."

Liu Jia had also thought of the point that Guo Xiaoyan had considered.

Seeing that Guo Xiaoyan had given such a large gift, Liu Jia felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

Guo Xiaoyan became anxious upon hearing this, and her voice rose.

"What are you saying? What do you mean by 'receiving their thoughts is enough'? Is this something that can be resolved in just a few words?"

"They've always been very kind to me. Even if we're not related anymore, can't I treat them like my older brother or sister?"

"It's up to you. Help if you want, otherwise forget it."

Guo Xiaoyan was angry.

It's one thing for Liu Jia to refuse her on other matters, but for Liu Jianye to say such a thing when he's marrying Cui Hongmei, Guo Xiaoyan is furious.

As I just said, he'll help if he wants to, and he won't if he doesn't.

I don't force myself to do things.

Guo Jianjun, who was driving, was taken aback.

"What's going on? You two don't usually see each other, so why are you arguing as soon as you meet?"

"Was it really necessary to make such a fuss over a few minutes in the car?"

“Yan’er, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you’re too stubborn. Liu Jia didn’t say anything, and besides, I think he makes a good point.”

Guo Xiaoyan turned her head and launched into another long speech to Guo Jianjun.

"What do you mean it makes sense? Are you implying that what I said makes no sense? I knew you were on the same side as Liu Jia!"

Guo Jianjun was speechless.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to try to please Guo Xiaoyan.

"Yan'er, how about this? I'm going to Liu Jianye's wedding anyway, can I send you the money?"

"No need, none of you need to carry anything!"

Seeing that Guo Xiaoyan was really angry, Liu Jia simply gritted his teeth and decided to take the plunge.

"Alright, why are you being so petty? We'll take it to you, okay? It's not like we're bullying you."

It would have been better if Liu Jia hadn't said that, because as soon as he did, Guo Xiaoyan turned around and retorted again.

"You're just bullying me, aren't you?"

"Yes, yes, because the school is closed for National Day and I can go home, I'm so happy. So whatever you say goes, okay? I won't argue with you."

After saying that, Liu Jia chuckled.

Guo Xiaoyan was furious, but had no way to vent her anger, so she picked up her water glass and drank some water.

Fortunately, since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Guo Jianjun had a lot to talk about.

Before long, Guo Xiaoyan's expression softened, and she joined the conversation.

time flies.

Liu Jia felt that they hadn't even finished discussing a few things before they arrived in Yecheng.

After dropping off Guo Xiaoyan, Guo Jianjun continued driving towards Xili Village.

"Brother Jun, I can go back by myself. It's been so long, aren't you tired?"

“I’ve already traveled hundreds of miles, so I don’t mind a little more. Besides, I’m very familiar with the road conditions. I go to your village every few days. I’d feel uneasy if I didn’t go!”

"Look at what you're saying, as if you're one of the people in our village."

After Liu Jia finished speaking, Guo Jianjun chuckled twice.

"That's hard to say. Who knows, I might find a wife from Xili Village too, and then I'll become your son-in-law."

Liu Jia knew that Guo Jianjun was joking, so he didn't respond.

not long time.

Guo Jianjun took Liu Jia home.

Liu Jia's family already knew he was coming back, so they all waited at home.

When Liu Jia saw his whole family come to pick him up, his mouth was stretched so wide it looked like it was about to burst out of his head.

"You're welcoming me like a hero; I'm almost embarrassed."

As soon as these words came out.

Liu Jianye quickly added, "In our eyes, you are a hero, not only a hero in our eyes, but also a hero in our village!"

"That's right. We heard you were coming back, and all our neighbors have been asking around, wanting to meet you."

The speaker was Qin Chunyan.

Qin Chunyan is now nearly three months pregnant.

Her face looked rosy, perhaps because she was pregnant.

Liu Jia glanced at Zhang Guilan and Liu Yutian, then continued with a smile, "That's easy. Everyone should have been hosting a feast these past few days, right? You've all seen it, haven't you?"

"Sanzi, let me tell you, in order not to interfere with your studies, we specifically chose to hold the wedding on National Day. Aren't you happy?"

Liu Jianye took Liu Jia's hand and spoke with a happy expression.

happy!

How could I not be happy?

There will be another person in the family, and it's the woman my second brother likes who's going to be joining us. To everyone, this is a very happy thing.

Seeing Guo Jianjun next to Liu Jia, Liu Yutian and his wife hurriedly invited Guo Jianjun in.

Guo Jianjun didn't stand on ceremony and walked in confidently.

After all, I've been to Xili Village many times during this period, and every time I come, I stay at Old Liu's house.

In Liu Yutian's view, Guo Jianjun was not an outsider.

Guo Jianjun is the same.

Despite his sister's relationship with Liu Jia, Guo Jianjun believes that this has not affected his relationship with Old Liu in the slightest.

"Drink some water, drink some water. You must be thirsty after all this traveling."

Liu Yutian took out the tea leaves that had been brewed in advance and handed them to Guo Jianjun.

Guo Jianjun accepted it without hesitation and took a sip right away.

"Uncle, you brewed these tea leaves just right, the flavor is so strong!"

"If you like it, that's good! If you like it, that's good!"

Liu Yutian was talking to Guo Jianjun, while Zhang Guilan turned to look at Liu Jia.

Although it had only been a month or so since they last met, Zhang Guilan felt that Liu Jia had grown up quite a bit.

I'm no longer a child.

Every time Zhang Guilan thinks about these things, her nose gets sore.

As my son grows up day by day, the weight on my heart can gradually be lifted.

Knowing that Liu Jia was coming back, the family had prepared a meal in advance.

However, Guo Jianjun only stayed at Lao Liu's house for a short while before leaving.

Liu Jia explained to everyone that Guo Jianjun missed his sister and wanted to have a good chat with Guo Xiaoyan, since she would be leaving in just a few days.

No one said anything after hearing this.

Before the first meal, Liu Jia went to Liu Jianye's room and took out five yuan from his pocket.

"Brother, Guo Xiaoyan asked me to give this to you. She won't be coming over for the next couple of days. She said she wishes you and Sister Hongmei a happy marriage."

Liu Jianye frowned upon seeing such a large denomination of money.

“Sanzi, why did you accept so much money from them? We are already satisfied that Xiaoyan is thinking of me and your sister-in-law. We can’t keep this money; we have to take it back.”

Liu Jia looked troubled.

"Second brother, do you think I didn't say that on the way? You know Guo Xiaoyan's temper, it would be pointless for me to say anything."

"You can't take on so many!"

"Fine, take it if you want. You can always return it when she gets married."

Liu Jianye was stunned, staring at Liu Jia in bewilderment.

"What do you mean? You and Xiaoyan are back together? Tell me right now!"

"No, our relationship isn't like that of family or enemies, so don't worry!"

Liu Jianye really didn't know what to say after hearing Liu Jia's words.

outside.

Zhang Guilan began urging everyone to eat.

Liu Jia and Liu Jianye then walked out.

At the dinner table, Liu Yutian told everyone that they would be setting up the stove tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jia immediately perked up.

"That's great! I love the big pot of stew served at the wedding. It tastes completely different from other dishes, and the more you eat, the better it gets!"

"Look how hungry you are! Your second brother is getting married, so you're sure to get plenty of food. Don't worry, there will be plenty for you!"

Liu Xinguo was overjoyed.

next to.

Qin Chunyan also had a smile on her face.

"We'll start setting up the stove at home tomorrow. Old Cui's family should do the same, right?"

"Same here. Weddings are so simple now. Whether it's the groom or the bride, it's just a couple of days of celebration."

Liu Xinguo replied with a smile.

Liu Yutian remained silent.

Everything is ready. This morning, the neighbors will come over to help. All I need to do is distribute the melon seeds and candy.
