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

The Liu Jia in front of her was completely different from before; Guo Xiaoyan didn't even recognize her!

He's become much quieter, and not only is he indifferent to me, but he can also fix tractors!

I had no idea!

"Liu Jia, where did you learn to repair tractors?"

Liu Jia was too lazy to explain much to Guo Xiaoyan, so he just blurted out a random sentence.

"There are tractors in the production team. You'll learn by watching them a lot."

"Impossible. So many people in the production team watch over tractors, how come they don't know how, but you do?"

Guo Xiaoyan naturally didn't believe this perfunctory explanation.

Liu Jia glanced at the exam site and thought, "The math exam is about to start, it'll be too late if we don't go in soon!"

Guo Xiaoyan wanted to say something more, but seeing that many people were already heading towards the examination site, she swallowed her words.

Taking two steps forward, Guo Xiaoyan looked at Guo Zhiyuan with some reluctance.

"Dad, I'm going to take an exam in a bit. Don't come tomorrow or the day after. I'll do well on the exam, don't worry."

Guo Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiaoyan, Dad believes in you. Remember not to be shy or panic. You must also believe in yourself."

"Dad, don't worry."

The college entrance examination lasts three days and consists of six subjects.

Having seen her father today, Guo Xiaoyan was quite content. For the remaining two days, she didn't want Guo Zhiyuan to travel back and forth.

Understanding his daughter's intentions, Guo Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

Finally, Guo Zhiyuan turned his attention to Liu Jia.

"You should also do well on the exam."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I will."

Liu Jia wasn't just saying this to get it over with; if given a second chance, he would definitely take it seriously.

This is an opportunity not to be missed; I will have plenty of room to maneuver in the future!

Liu Jia maintained a humble yet assertive attitude.

Guo Zhiyuan didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

After taking only a few steps, Guo Zhiyuan turned back to look at Liu Jia's back again.

There was a deeper meaning in his gaze.

Is this son-in-law really as ordinary as they say?

……

Liu Jia strode forward with his head held high and his gaze unwavering.

Guo Xiaoyan pouted and followed behind Liu Jia with a disgruntled expression.

Before, Liu Jia was always the one doting on him, but now it's him who's following him around like a puppy!

He handed in his college entrance exam paper early and even fixed a tractor. What else about Liu Jia is there that I don't know?

Guo Xiaoyan suddenly felt a little unwilling, and her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed.

At that moment, Liu Jia was thinking about other things.

After the college entrance examination comes university.

Next, doing business, making money, and taking care of parents—none of these can be neglected!

Having been given a second chance at life, I'm determined to make up for all the regrets of my previous life!

In the afternoon math exam, Liu Jia, as usual, handed in her paper early.

This time, the proctor did not show any surprise on his face. Instead, he looked at Liu Jia's name on the exam paper several times.

This young man is extraordinary!

There's a lot to be done!

……

The sun was about to set when Liu Jia and Guo Xiaoyan arrived at the entrance of Xili Village.

Smoke has already started rising from the earthen chimneys of some houses.

The air was filled with the smell of burning firewood.

Liu Jia took a deep breath; he felt both familiar with and fond of this flavor.

My heart couldn't help but feel joyful again.

I've been reborn, how wonderful!

Good health brings many opportunities, and most importantly, many things can be done again.

next to.

Guo Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Liu Jia's inexplicable actions.

I really don't know what Liu Jia is so happy about.

Don't you get tired of smelling this firewood three times a day?

Seeing that Liu Jia wasn't looking in her direction, Guo Xiaoyan frowned and started a new conversation.

"Liu Jia, how did the exam go today?"

"good."

"What do you mean by 'okay'? Are you even confident?"

Liu Jia slowed his pace and looked directly into Guo Xiaoyan's eyes.

"How confident were you before the results were released?"

One sentence left Guo Xiaoyan speechless.

Guo Xiaoyan stomped her foot and stormed off.

Liu Jia withdrew his gaze, his expression remaining largely unchanged, as if the matter at hand had nothing to do with him.

In the past, Liu Jia would have rushed over to coax Guo Xiaoyan long ago.

But Liu Jia did not do that today.

My parents haven't come back yet. Although we don't have much food at home, I can still cook them a hot meal.

In the previous life.

He devoted all his attention to Guo Xiaoyan, neglecting his parents and family ties.

Now, I don't want to do the same foolish things for the rest of my life!

So as soon as Liu Jia got home, he put down his bag and went into the kitchen.

There were cornbread buns in the pot, and pickled vegetables on the side.

Finally, Liu Jia's gaze fell on an oil tank.

The oil can was tightly sealed, looking like it hadn't been opened in a long time.

Liu Jia felt a surge of emotion.

During this period, almost every household ate like this.

After a year, they only have a few pounds of peanut oil left, and every household is reluctant to use it for cooking.

Except during Chinese New Year or when relatives come to visit, the oil tank is just for show and is never touched.

But today, Liu Jia wanted to cook a meal for her parents.

Just as I was wondering what to cook, a tingling sound suddenly came from inside.

"Liu Jia, I have something to say to you."

Liu Jia was taken aback.

Guo Xiaoyan's voice was charming, soft, and gentle, like someone humming a tune in the middle of the night.

That one sound could melt a person's bones!

In the past, upon hearing this shout, Liu Jia's hair would have stood on end.

But now, Liu Jia didn't even turn his head.

What's up?

Guo Xiaoyan frowned, and her fingers, which were gripping the door frame, turned slightly white.

Is Liu Jia deliberately trying to provoke me?

I practically came to the kitchen to talk to him, but he just ignored me!

As if trying to save face, Guo Xiaoyan coughed loudly.

"It's about that thing we talked about before. Have you thought it through? Do you want the money or..."

Before Guo Xiaoyan could finish speaking, Liu Jia interrupted her.

"Are you trying to get rid of me with money? Then tell me, how much are you planning to give me?"

"Putting aside how I've treated you these past few years, how do you calculate the sacrifices my parents have made?"

"Are you going to figure it out yourself, or do you want it notarized when you get the divorce?"

Guo Xiaoyan's face turned bright red, and she almost bit her lips until they bled.

She couldn't believe it even if she were beaten to death. Liu Jia, who had always cherished her like a treasure, could say such heartless things!

Honestly, I haven't suffered any grievances in the years I've been with Liu Jia.

Liu Jia listened to her every word, and the elderly couple treated her like their own daughter.

My brother and sister-in-law have never argued with me; they always speak softly to each other.

Guo Xiaoyan was speechless at the memory of what had happened before, and the thought of buying it all off with money made her face burn with embarrassment.

"Don't stand there, you're keeping me from cooking."

Guo Xiaoyan was still in a daze when Liu Jia walked over.

The kitchen door was a bit narrow, so Guo Xiaoyan instinctively moved to the side.

Liu Jia didn't even glance at Guo Xiaoyan, and went straight to the west wall with the bucket in his hand.

The water in the water tank is running low, so I'll draw two buckets of water from the well first, and then I'll cook.

As for what Guo Xiaoyan said, Liu Jia didn't take it to heart at all.

Whether it's household registration, job, or even money, none of these matters to Liu Jia.

With one's own mind, making a name for oneself in this era would be a piece of cake.

The reason I asked that question earlier was simply because I couldn't stand Guo Xiaoyan's condescending attitude.

We all have two eyes and one mouth, so why are you so superior?
