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

Every year after the autumn harvest, the production team would bundle the corn stalks together and hang them against the wall to dry.

Once the corn stalks are dried, they are chopped up with a chaff cutter and fed to the livestock in the production team.

So before the corn stalks were chopped up, drilling holes in the stalks became a fun activity for every child.

Liu Jia and Zhou Caixia would play hide-and-seek with three or five other children of the same age, hiding and searching, and they could play for a long time.

Sometimes, when she feels too hot outside, Zhou Caixia will crawl into the straw hole to cool off.

Whether it was actually cooling or not, Zhou Caixia didn't know, but she clearly remembered that Liu Jia had told her about this method.

Every time Zhou Caixia stole something delicious from home, she would call Liu Jia into the cave to share it with her, and Liu Jia would do the same.

Back then, the phrase they talked about most was "half for each person."

Hearing these words from Liu Jia's mouth again, Zhou Caixia felt a lump in her throat.

I can't even remember the last time I heard such words. How could I not be moved?

While Zhou Caixia was still in a daze, Liu Jia had already divided the sugar.

Liu Jia handed the basket back to Zhou Caixia, raising an eyebrow. "I'm leaving now. Don't forget about the basket."

"Can't forget!"

As soon as Zhou Caixia finished speaking, Liu Jia had already ridden away on his bicycle.

Watching that fleeting figure disappear into the distance, Zhou Caixia muttered to herself with a touch of coquettishness, "Really, walking so fast, I haven't even finished talking yet!"

……

Returning under the blazing sun, Liu Jia was thoroughly sunburned.

As soon as I put the bicycle down, I quickly filled a basin with water and plunged my head into the enamel basin.

"Hoohoo!"

As Liu Jia lifted his head from the basin, streams of water slid down his hair, and he let out a long breath.

A slight coolness came over me, which was very refreshing!

Reaching out to touch the soap beside her, Liu Jia washed her hair and then started washing her arms. By the time she finished, her vest was already soaked through.

Looking at the bicycle parked against the wall, Liu Jia's lips curled up again.

After washing the vest, I went to the production team, but I had to walk there. The main reason was that Liu's house was very close to the edge of the production team's fields. If I rode a bicycle there, it would be obvious showing off.

Secondly, I'm too lazy to deal with other people's envy and jealousy.

With that thought in mind, Liu Jia quickened her pace as she washed her vest.

Little did they know that the scene they had just witnessed would soon spread throughout the production team.

Xili Village Production Team.

During the short break, the team members put down their belongings and ran towards the well.

It was so hot that I was drenched in sweat after doing very little work.

In spring and autumn, there is no rest time in the afternoon when working, but it is different in summer. If you don't take a break, heatstroke is common.

While everyone was resting and drinking water, some of the women would go to places a little further away.

As long as they return within the stipulated time, the production team leader and work recorder will not say anything.

With the time running out, the work recorder came to the second group.

"Has Zhang Cuihua left again?"

The work recorder asked questions while looking around.

Just then, someone in the crowd blurted out, "Zhang Dalaba runs home as soon as he gets a break; his legs are so thin from running around!"

Upon hearing this, the people around him burst into laughter.

Even the construction workers started laughing.

After the laughter subsided, the construction worker put away his notebook and looked at everyone again.

"We women need to step up our efforts. The team will be irrigating the fields in a couple of days, so we need to quickly fill in the missing seedlings."

"Everyone, hurry up and try to finish the work by tomorrow."

The work recorder assigned tasks, and everyone nodded in agreement; at this point, no one joked anymore.

As the work recorder was speaking, Zhang Cuihua came running over, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she ran.

Seeing Zhang Cuihua panting heavily, many people frowned.

The lunch break is already short, just enough time to drink a few sips of water, yet Zhang Cuihua still jogged back and forth. Isn't she afraid of getting tired?

Coincidentally, just as Zhang Cuihua arrived in front of everyone, the work recorder had already finished conveying his instructions.

"Aunt Zhang, you missed some important news! We all heard the instructions from above. Would you like us to pass them on for you?"

Someone asked jokingly.

Zhang Cuihua glanced around with a mysterious look on her face.

"You don't need to relay your instructions, I already know them. Just tell us to work hard, right? But I have a shocking secret about Xili Village. Do you all want to hear it?"

Not long after the construction worker left, Zhang Cuihua deliberately lowered her voice, but she couldn't hide the smug look on her face.

Upon seeing Zhang Cuihua's appearance, everyone immediately felt reassured.

This famous loudspeaker Zhang must have gotten some new information from somewhere.

Most of the unusual things that happen in Xili Village come from Zhang Dalaba's mouth, so calling her Dalaba is not an exaggeration at all.

"Tell us quickly, what earth-shattering secret is it? We won't be able to hear it when we start work." Someone egged them on.

Zhang Cuihua cleared her throat, her gaze suddenly landing on Qin Chunyan.

Qin Chunyan is an honest person who doesn't talk much. Even when everyone was urging Zhang Cuihua to say something interesting, Qin Chunyan would at most glance up and never interrupt.

Seeing everyone looking in her direction, Qin Chunyan blinked in confusion.

"What's wrong? Still keeping me in suspense? I asked you to tell me something interesting, why are you looking at Chunyan like that?"

"That's right, if you don't say anything, you'll be going to work soon."

Just now, people concluded that Zhang Dalaba definitely had the goods, but Zhang Dalaba was dragging his feet, and several impatient people couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhang Cuihua smiled and walked up to Qin Chunyan.

"Big Swallow, why don't you tell me?"

Qin Chunyan was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief. She looked up at Zhang Cuihua and asked, "What did I say?"

"You don't know what's going on in your family? You've been keeping it a secret pretty well, but I've seen it all!"

"No, what did you see?"

Qin Chunyan was completely bewildered and had no idea what Zhang Cuihua was talking about.

Zhang Cuihua, sitting opposite, smiled with a smirk, her eyes full of "Let's see how long you can keep up this act."

"Alright, stop making things difficult for Da Yan'er, just tell me the truth!"

Seeing everyone's gaze fall on her again, Zhang Cuihua spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"I wanted to tell everyone that if I just say this out loud, someone will make things difficult for me. Anyway, this matter can't be kept secret for long. I believe everyone will find out soon enough, so please stop asking."

Before she could finish speaking, five or six people rolled their eyes at Zhang Cuihua.

Zhang Cuihua has a wide range of information and can't keep her mouth shut, but she also has a bad habit of keeping people in suspense.

I learned something from her: if I don't use reverse psychology to push her to her limit, I need to have enough patience to wear her down.

Everyone knew her temper, so someone stood up on the spot, dusted himself off, and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it then. It's like nobody cares. Everyone, let's go."

When someone stands up, others follow.

In the blink of an eye, four or five people stood up.

Zhang Cuihua immediately became anxious upon seeing this.

"Hey, don't go! You have to let me finish what I have to say. Let me be frank with you, Liu Jia, that third son of the Liu family, has a lover again!"

"I won't say who it is yet, but their backing is incredibly powerful. From now on, they'll be even less likely to take us seriously!"

"We toil from dawn till dusk, working ourselves to the bone all day long, while others can take leave whenever they want, and the work recorder doesn't say a word!"

With each word Zhang Cuihua spoke, the people around her gasped in shock.

By the end, everyone's eyes were wide open!

Has Liu Jia found someone else?

This is too fast!

But I have to say, this news is quite astonishing!

Just a few days ago, the villagers confirmed that Liu Jia had gotten divorced. According to Zhang Dalou, it won't be long before this guy gets married again.

What speed is that?

This is so lucky!

Many people looked at each other, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Qin Chunyan, standing nearby, was even more astonished, her mouth agape.

How come I've never heard of such a big thing before?

"Who is it? What kind of powerful backer has Liu Jia found?"

"Yeah, don't keep people in suspense."

"Big Swallow, you know about this, right? Why don't you tell us?"

People immediately became interested and, before they started work, they all started asking around.

Qin Chunyan's face turned bright red, and she kept shaking her head.

Zhang Cuihua was still there, pursing her lips.

After everyone had finished asking their questions, Zhang Cuihua pointed to the houses of the production team on the west side.

"Want to know who Liu Jia's lover is? I'll tell you!"

"It's Zhou Caixia, the daughter of our production team leader from Xili Village!"

Before the words were even finished, a sharp voice rang out.

"Zhang Cuihua, you're talking nonsense!"
