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

Guo Zhiyuan was furious.

Guo Jianjun shuddered, but still trusted his intuition.

"Dad, don't get angry, let me finish what I have to say."

To convince Guo Zhiyuan of his judgment, Guo Jianjun recounted his trip to Xili Village in detail once again.

Hearing his daughter call Liu Jia into the house, and thinking about how absent-minded his daughter had been these past few days, Guo Zhiyuan's tone became less forceful.

"This Liu Jia is completely different from what Yan'er said before. Didn't Yan'er say that Liu Jia always fawned over her? But it seems to me that Yan'er is the one fawning over Liu Jia!"

"Moreover, Liu Jia is not as useless as Yan'er said; this kid has ideas."

"Dad, in my opinion, no matter what, they are divorced now, so we need to have a serious talk with Yan'er about this."

Guo Zhiyuan nodded, his expression becoming serious again.

Times have changed, and his three children have all returned to the city. Naturally, their lives thereafter have little connection to their previous rural life.

The people they meet and the things they experience afterward are on a completely different level from what they experienced before.

Guo Zhiyuan was certain of this.

"I understand. I'll talk to Xiaoyan when I have time."

"If you say that, I'm relieved."

I raised Guo Xiaoyan on my back, so I can't let her suffer any injustice.

Previously, it was due to the prevailing circumstances that there was no other way.

Now that there are other options, Guo Jianjun will never let his sister live that kind of hard life again.

As for Liu Jia, the Guo family does owe him a great favor, and he will find a chance to make it up to him.

The father and son talked in the study for a while before Guo Jianjun left.

As soon as they stepped outside, Zhang Xiuying quickly came over and asked in a low voice.

"What happened? What did your dad say to you?"

Beside her, Guo Xiaolan also looked nervous, as if she had been waiting for Guo Jianjun.

"It's alright, Dad believes Yan'er is in a bad mood because of Liu Jia."

Zhang Xiuying gasped, "They're already divorced, why are they still entangled?"

"Oh dear, it's not that Liu Jia is being persistent, it's that Yan'er can't let go."

"What? Impossible!" Zhang Xiuying exclaimed in shock.

Guo Jianjun glanced at Guo Xiaoyan's room, put his index finger to his lips, and said, "Keep your voices down, and don't let Xiaoyan hear anything."

"Jianjun, don't talk nonsense. Xiaoyan is eager to get the divorce done as soon as possible. She's more anxious than anyone else."

Before the college entrance examination, Guo Xiaoyan made several phone calls home, and the content of each call was related to her divorce.

Moreover, Zhang Xiuying firmly believes that Guo Xiaoyan is the one who most wants a divorce.

How come now it's become that your own daughter can't let go of Liu Jia?

This is absolutely impossible!

"Sigh, I can't really explain it. Anyway, Liu Jia isn't as incompetent as you all say, and Yan'er isn't as determined as you think."

Zhang Xiuying was already anxious, and when she heard Guo Jianjun say that, she hurriedly reached out and hit him on the shoulder.

"You child, don't talk nonsense, or your sister will get angry with you!"

The slap on the shoulder didn't hurt at all.

So when he spoke again, Guo Jianjun still had a smile on his face, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see if what I said is accurate!"

After saying that, Guo Jianjun turned and left.

At this moment, Guo Xiaolan quickly supported Zhang Xiuying's arm.

"Mom, don't worry, we can just ask Yan'er what happened."

"Yes, are you all free tomorrow? I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fabric and make you a few new dresses."

Taking my two daughters to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fabric wasn't the main purpose; the main thing was to let them relax.

As her mother, she also took the opportunity to learn about Xiaoyan's situation.

We've survived several years of hardship; now, we can't afford any more problems.

……

The night before, Liu Jia did not go to the production brigade to ask for leave.

The next morning, Liu Jia got up very early and went to Zhou Fengshou's house with a basket.

Is Uncle Zhou home?

Upon hearing Liu Jia's voice, Zhou Caixia hurriedly turned around and threw the kitchen knife she was holding aside.

"Third Brother, what brings you here so early in the morning? And why are you carrying a basket?"

Liu Jia smiled and handed the basket to Zhou Caixia.

"How about it? Can you make this up?"

"This is a new style. Let me think about it, and I'm sure I can weave it!"

Zhou Caixia is very confident in her basket-weaving skills.

"Okay, I came here specifically to bring you this basket. Let me take a look when you've finished weaving it, and I'll discuss something with you later."

"What's up, Third Brother? You're not doing so well these days, why are you being so mysterious?"

Zhou Caixia pursed her lips, her eyes blinking rapidly.

Before Liu Jia could speak, Zhou Fengshou lifted the bamboo curtain and came out.

"Girl, why are you so busy talking? Those chickens are starving and waiting for you to feed them!"

Zhou Caixia reached out and tossed her braided hair behind her, then grinned.

"I chopped this bunch of weeds in no time. Don't worry, it'll make sure your chickens have a good meal."

Half of the weeds on the tree stump in front of her had already been chopped off, and Zhou Caixia was somewhat absent-minded, as Liu Jia hadn't finished speaking.

Picking up the chipped kitchen knife from the ground, Zhou Caixia stomped it a few times deftly, then grabbed a handful of chopped grass and threw it into the chicken coop.

When I turned around to look at Liu Jia again, Liu Jia had already followed Zhou Feng into the house.

The two walked and talked.

Zhou Caixia was too embarrassed to go in and ask, so she grabbed a small stool, sat down, and began to examine the basket carefully.

Liu Jia came out again while he was taking a sip of water.

"Alright, that's settled then, Uncle Liu, I'll be going now, and I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

"Go ahead, be careful on the road."

Having watched Liu Jia grow up, Zhou Fengshou spoke to Liu Jia with a warm and friendly expression.

"Wait, Third Brother, where are you going?"

Seeing that Liu Jia was about to leave, Zhou Caixia quickly stood up and stopped him.

"I need to take care of something at the supply and marketing cooperative in the city."

"Third Brother, can you take me with you? I'd like to visit the supply and marketing cooperative too."

Zhou Caixia looked on expectantly, wishing she could grab Liu Jia's arm and shake it a few times.

Now that I'm a grown woman, I feel embarrassed to act like I did when I was a child.

"Ni'er, Liu Jia is going to take care of important business, don't follow him and cause trouble!"

Zhou Fengshou raised his voice, and his expression became serious.

"Dad, I really want to go. It's so rare to have my third brother with me, please let me go!"

Zhou Caixia stomped her feet.

Seeing his daughter so anxious, Zhou Fengshou waved his hand impatiently.

"Go ahead, go ahead, and come back soon!"

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll definitely be back soon!" After assuring Zhou Fengshou, Zhou Caixia looked at Liu Jia, "Third Brother, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there!"

Zhou Caixia jogged into the north room.

What kind of trouble is this girl trying to cause?

He was going to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city to buy a bicycle, so why was he meddling in his business?

Before Liu Jia could recover, Zhou Caixia had already changed into clean clothes and walked over.

"Let's go, Third Brother, let's go and come back as soon as possible."

Liu Jia wanted to say something more, but then he remembered that Li Zhen had left him a bicycle in advance and that he needed to get there as soon as possible, so he nodded hastily.

Two hours later.

Liu Jia and Zhou Caixia arrived at the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

As soon as Liu Jia entered the supply and marketing cooperative, he went straight to the bicycles.

"Here, Liu Jia, he's here!"

Li Zhenhe shook his arm vigorously, as if afraid that Liu Jia wouldn't see him.

As Liu Jia walked, he took out industrial coupons and also took out the money he had prepared.

"Brother Li, where do I pay? Should I just give it to you directly?"

"Don't rush, let's wait until they issue the invoice. Let's look at the bicycles first. I'll save this one for you, do you like it?"

Li Zhenhe reached out to pull Liu Jia, only to discover that Liu Jia was accompanied by a girl.

"This is……"

“Zhou Caixia, the daughter of Captain Zhou from our village, we grew up together.”

Liu Jia enthusiastically introduced Li Zhenhe.

Li Zhenhe quickly nodded, "Oh, Zhou Caixia, hello. I'm Liu Jia's brother, my name is Li Zhenhe."

"Hello, Brother Li."

Zhou Caixia greeted Li Zhenhe with a sweet voice and a smile.

Li Zhenhe's heart skipped a beat, as if it had stopped for a moment.

Zhou Caixia was wearing dark blue pants, black cloth shoes, and a white polyester top.

Two braids hung down in front of her chest, tied neatly with red ribbons.

When he speaks, his eyes blink.

Li Zhenhe suddenly became uneasy.

At that moment, an older female sales clerk nearby laughed and joked.

"Hey Li, are you meeting your girlfriend? She's quite pretty."

Li Zhenhe hurriedly explained, "Sister Zhang, don't talk nonsense. This is my brother, he came to buy a bicycle!"

Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment, then her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Sister, you've misunderstood. These bicycles are nice. People who are in a hurry to get married are looking for these kinds of ones. You can go and take a look at the sewing machines later."

"The 'three turns and one sound' (refurbished radio, watch, and revolving door) are indispensable!"

Sister Zhang was very enthusiastic, talking about bicycles and then sewing machines.

Liu Jia was in a hurry to buy the bicycle and didn't consider the "three turns and one sound" she mentioned.

Next, I got the receipt and paid.

Liu Jia's mind was entirely on the bicycle, while Zhou Caixia kept watching Liu Jia.

Not far away, Guo Xiaoyan's face grew increasingly grim.

Liu Jia came to buy a bicycle!

He's still with Zhou Caixia!

What did the salesperson just say? "In a hurry to get married?" And about the "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three main features, a rotating watch, and a radio).

Guo Xiaoyan's head was buzzing, and even her breathing became rapid!

Is Liu Jia getting married?

His girlfriend is Zhou Caixia!
