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

Upon hearing the words "introducing someone," Guo Xiaoyan's eyes suddenly dimmed.

For some reason, Liu Jia's image flashed through my mind again.

Frowning slightly, Guo Xiaoyan finally met Zhang Xiuying's gaze. "Mom, I've only been back in the city for a short time. Let's put this matter aside for now!"

Guo Xiaoyan spoke softly and seemed rather downcast.

Zhang Xiuying's heart clenched again.

“Yan’er, I respect your opinion. If you’re not ready yet, we’ll talk about it later. But there’s nothing you can hide from me.”

At this point, Zhang Xiuying stopped talking and ultimately swallowed her questions about Liu Jia.

They knew about their daughter's marriage to Liu Jia.

During the phone call, Guo Xiaoyan made her purpose very clear.

Now that they're divorced, the Liu family hasn't bothered them anymore.

Logically speaking, this matter should have come to a satisfactory conclusion, and this chapter should be turned over.

However, Zhang Xiuying clearly sensed that Guo Xiaoyan had not yet moved on.

So when her colleague came over yesterday and said she wanted to introduce two potential partners to Guo Xiaoyan, Zhang Xiuying didn't refuse outright.

People always have to look forward; shifting their focus might help their daughter.

To everyone's surprise, Guo Xiaoyan directly refused.

Guo Xiaoyan didn't mention Liu Jia, so Zhang Xiuying was naturally too embarrassed to bring it up.

So, that's all we can say for now.

Not long after, Guo Jianjun returned.

Zhang Xiuying invited Guo Jianjun to eat, but Guo Jianjun only said, "Mom, I've already eaten out. Where's Dad? I need to talk to him about something."

Zhang Xiuying pointed to the study.

"Your dad is reading, don't disturb him."

"Okay, Mom, I understand."

Despite saying that, Guo Jianjun continued walking towards the study without stopping.

Liu Jia's remarks today greatly shocked Guo Jianjun. He felt he should tell his father about such a big matter.

Knock on the door, push it open, and go inside.

Guo Jianjun's movements were fluid and seamless, without any pauses.

Seeing someone enter so rudely, Guo Zhiyuan's face showed displeasure. Before even looking up, he asked coldly, "What era is this? How can anyone blatantly barge into a house like this?"

Guo Jianjun also sensed Guo Zhiyuan's unhappiness, but what he had to say right now was much more important.

"Dad, I have something important to report to you. It's about Liu Jia!"

After saying that, Guo Jianjun told Guo Zhiyuan everything he had heard in the restaurant.

At first, Guo Zhiyuan had a displeased expression on his face.

But as Guo Jianjun continued his story, Guo Zhiyuan's brows furrowed.

Only after Guo Jianjun remained silent did Guo Zhiyuan ask in surprise, "Did he really say that?"

"That's right, I heard it all clearly from the side. Dad, what kind of person do you think Liu Jia is?"

Guo Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

Who exactly is Liu Jia from Xili Village, Da'an Town?

His composure outside the exam hall, the conversation we had over dinner, and the way he calmly repaired the tractor...

These things made Guo Zhiyuan realize that Liu Jia was no ordinary person.

Now, considering what Guo Jianjun said, Guo Zhiyuan is even less inclined to draw conclusions easily.

In the end, Guo Zhiyuan only said one sentence.

"This young Liu does have some brains."

"It's not just some things; what he said is just like the reports written above—no, even the reports don't have the same planning as what he said!"

"If someone is truly talented, will they be overlooked in Xili Village?"

Guo Zhiyuan firmly believes that gold will shine no matter where it is buried.

However, considering the current social situation and his own experiences, Guo Zhiyuan did not dare to say those words lightly.

The overall environment cannot be influenced by the decisions of one or two people.

Similarly, if gold is buried too deep, it will probably take a very long time for it to shine.

After muttering to himself, Guo Zhiyuan looked up at Guo Jianjun.

Guo Jianjun raised an eyebrow, then, as if he had come to his senses, picked up the thermos next to him and quickly refilled Guo Zhiyuan's teacup with water.

Then, I casually asked...

"Dad, do you think we should give Liu Jia a chance, if it's within our capabilities?"

Guo Zhiyuan was taken aback.

"What opportunity? Within my capabilities? That's a rather subtle question. You might as well just say I should arrange a job for him."

Seeing his father continue speaking as he had suggested, Guo Jianjun shook his head violently and deliberately refuted him on the spot.

"No, that won't do. You're the vice president of the university now. No matter what you do, so many eyes are watching. We can't break the rules."

"Don't you always say that nothing can be accomplished without rules? We can't break the rules for our own selfish interests."

"At that time, Dad will have to shamelessly beg for help. You can't do that kind of thing."

Guo Jianjun's voice grew louder and louder.

Guo Zhiyuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Guo family did indeed do something wrong to Liu Jia regarding Xiaoyan's situation.

However, I can't let this matter break my principles.

After some thought, Guo Zhiyuan's gaze hardened.

"Now, the situation has changed a lot. Some mistakes from the past have been corrected in time, and talented people will not be buried forever."

"If Liu Jia is truly a promising talent, then he still has plenty of opportunities ahead of him."

"Don't mention this matter again, let's talk about it later."

Guo Jianjun still had a smile on his face. Hearing his father say that, Guo Jianjun smiled so wide that his mouth was split open.

"Dad is right. We young people should strive to shine and make a difference, and we must never let others look down on us!"

Seeing Guo Jianjun smile, Guo Zhiyuan's expression softened as well.

"Alright, stop joking with me, I know what I'm doing."

"Okay, Dad, you go ahead with your work, I'm going out now!"

After saying that, Guo Jianjun ran away in a flash.

Before leaving, he even closed the door for Guo Zhiyuan.

At this moment, Guo Zhiyuan lost all interest in continuing to read.

He frowned and looked out the window, seemingly still deep in thought.

The son came here specifically to plead on Liu Jia's behalf, and it was entirely voluntary.

Putting aside the relationship between Liu Jia and Guo Xiaoyan, Guo Zhiyuan also greatly admires young people like Liu Jia.

Who knows, he might actually make a name for himself someday.

However, whether one flies around aimlessly like a headless fly or receives guidance from someone in the middle, the outcome is completely different.

At least this process will be shortened considerably.

While Guo Zhiyuan was pondering, Liu Jia had already brought Zhou Caixia back to Xili Village.

"Third Brother, we're in the village now, let me down!" Zhou Caixia asked, tilting her head as she gripped the back seat.

"It's still a distance to your house, so I'll just take you there."

When he spoke, Liu Jia was completely focused, and his head didn't even tilt to the side.

The roads in Xili Village are difficult to travel; they are narrow and full of potholes.

Thankfully, this is a new bicycle. If it were an old, worn-out bicycle, it would probably be rattling everywhere except for the bell after this trip.

"I can walk a bit without any problem, you should just put me down!"

Zhou Caixia insisted, and Liu Jia squeezed the front brake, bringing the car to an immediate stop.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jia suddenly realized as soon as he asked, "You're worried about what people in the village will say, right? Okay, then let's walk back from here?"

While Liu Jia was speaking, Zhou Caixia had already jumped off the bicycle.

While Liu Jia wasn't looking this way, Zhou Caixia quickly rubbed her buttocks.

Being with Liu Jia naturally put me in a good mood, but riding on Liu Jia's bicycle was just too much of a ordeal.

This guy was so focused on pedaling hard that he didn't care whether the road was flat or not.

Even on that short stretch of road leading into the village, I was jolted up several times.

He said he was worried about what the villagers would say, but he didn't care what they said!

"Come on, what are you thinking about?"

"Third brother, could you please slow down a bit when you ride your bicycle in the future? My butt is getting shaken to pieces."

Zhou Caixia pouted and clutched the fruit candy tightly with both hands, as if afraid that the kraft paper bag containing the fruit would also be torn apart.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! So that's why you wouldn't let me bring you along."

"What do you think? Let me tell you, if you really shake me to my death, you can forget about getting your basket!"

Zhou Caixia joked, looking at Liu Jia with a smile.

Liu Jia was anxious, his eyebrows were raised.

"Caixia, don't scare me. The basket is a serious matter and can't be delayed."

Zhou Caixia shoved the fruit candy into Liu Jia's arms, "Don't worry, I was just kidding. I'll start making it up when we get back!"

"Why are you giving me candy? I'm a grown man, I don't like eating this. You can take it home and eat it."

"How can I possibly eat that much? How about we split it in half?"

"Little girl, you're starting to settle accounts with me again. Fine, then it's half for you and half for me."

Liu Jia began distributing the candy.

Zhou Caixia was in a daze. Looking at Liu Jia in front of her, Zhou Caixia felt as if she had returned to her childhood.
