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

Guo Zhiyuan put down his briefcase and went straight to the restaurant.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Guo Zhiyuan's face.

Guo Jianjun's heart pounded even higher.

However, thinking back to what he had just said, which was also true, Guo Jianjun's eyes gained a bit more confidence.

"What, you're still not convinced? Look at what you just said! You need to know that everything you do is subject to review; there are policies in place!"

"A fake divorce? How could you even think of that? Is this something a brother should say?!"

Seeing that the table of dishes hadn't been touched, Guo Zhiyuan's tone softened a bit.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and eat. Jianjun, come to the study after you finish eating!"

After uttering those words, Guo Zhiyuan stormed off in a huff.

Guo Jianjun remained silent.

Guo Xiaolan was too frightened to speak.

Zhang Xiuying picked up her chopsticks and complained to Guo Jianjun irritably, "You're always talking nonsense. Hurry up and eat, or you'll be getting a lecture later!"

Guo Jianjun stuck out his tongue. "So what if we're going to educate him? As long as we have the right attitude, we'll definitely get through his eighty-one tribulations!"

"You still have time to talk nonsense? Hurry up and eat your pickled vegetables!"

Zhang Xiuying never imagined that a jar of pickled vegetables could cause such trouble.

After eating a couple of bites haphazardly, Guo Xiaolan put down her chopsticks and said, "Mom, I'm full. You guys eat first. I'm going to check on Yan'er."

Before Zhang Xiuying could say anything, Guo Xiaolan had already gone to Guo Xiaoyan's room.

At that moment, Guo Xiaoyan was sitting in a chair, lost in thought.

When Guo Xiaolan came over, Guo Xiaoyan didn't say anything and let her sit next to her.

"Yan'er, tell your sister the truth, how have the Liu family treated you?"

“Very good. They have been excellent to me for the past three years.”

Guo Xiaoyan's voice was hoarse and her eyes were red, clearly she had been crying.

"Are you still hung up on Liu Jia? I think Liu Jia is a decent person."

As soon as Guo Xiaolan finished speaking, Guo Xiaoyan began to shake her head.

Guo Xiaoyan reached up and brushed the hair that had fallen across her forehead, then sighed.

"Sister, I can't explain things to Liu Jia in a short time, and we're already divorced. I don't want to have anything to do with him."

"Then why were you so excited when you ate pickled vegetables?"

Guo Xiaolan could tell that Guo Xiaoyan was just being stubborn. She said she didn't want to talk to Liu Jia, but in reality, she would instinctively care when she saw anything related to Xili Village.

Thinking of the pickled vegetables she had just eaten, Guo Xiaoyan thought of Zhang Guilan again.

"Sister, putting aside what's between me and Liu Jia, the Liu family elders have been really good to me. You can't buy this kind of pickled vegetable at all."

As she spoke the last sentence, Guo Xiaoyan's tone became firm.

This pickled vegetable is a unique way of eating, and it's also a unique way of eating for the Liu family.

Not to mention the entire Xili Village, even if you include the entire county, you might not be able to find another place that serves food like this.

At first, I didn't like the taste of this old pickled vegetable, so I thought I would add more vinegar to mask it, and then I casually added some raw Sichuan peppercorns.

Who knew it would taste better and better the more you ate it?

Seeing that she liked eating it this way, Zhang Guilan simply followed the same method every time she made pickled vegetables from then on.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of pickled vegetable is unique.

"This old pickled vegetable was pickled with salt the first year, and you have to pay attention to the season when drying it."

"Salted vegetables dried before Qingming Festival will not release salt."

"After Qingming Festival, the taste of the dried food is not much different from that before Qingming, but the salt will come out."

Guo Xiaoyan spoke very seriously, while Guo Xiaolan, who was standing next to her, listened in a daze.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at pickling vegetables."

“I’m not an expert in this area. These are all things that Liu Jia’s mother told me. Every time she posts pictures of vegetables, I chat with her. She remembers them after we talk about them a lot.”

Guo Xiaolan stared wide-eyed at Guo Xiaoyan in disbelief.

Keep her company and chat with her?

So these two don't work together?

To confirm her thoughts, Guo Xiaolan asked a specific question.

"You're just watching them work?"

"Ah, they say my hands are delicate. The pickled vegetables have been soaked in salt for a long time, and my hands get stinging from handling them back and forth."

When talking about these things, Guo Xiaoyan only reminisces.

But Guo Xiaolan, standing beside her, had eyes full of envy.

Yan'er, you've really found a good family!

You really don't regret divorcing Liu Jia?

This isn't like they married a wife; the Liu family practically raised a daughter!

"Ugh……"

With another sigh, Guo Xiaoyan fell into deep thought once more.

What we just talked about was pickled vegetables and Zhang Guilan, but in Guo Xiaoyan's mind, the image of Liu Jia flashed by.

……

The two sisters chatted in the room for almost half an hour, and as soon as they went out together, they saw Guo Jianjun.

Guo Xiaolan smiled as soon as she saw Guo Jianjun come out of Guo Zhiyuan's study.

"Brother, you got a severe scolding, didn't you? Have you realized your mistake?"

Guo Jianjun raised his right hand and made a standard forward-charging posture.

"We are good public servants of the people, and we must remain steadfast in our beliefs!"

Guo Xiaolan nodded after listening.

Guo Xiaoyan, who was standing next to them, was completely confused and had no idea what they were talking about.

"Brother, what are you saying?"

"Well, it's hard to explain in a short time; it depends on your performance!"

Guo Jianjun kept everyone in suspense.

Just as the old man said, everything still needs to be investigated.

What kind of person Liu Jia is is not something that any one person can decide.

Similarly, whether Guo Xiaoyan will remarry Liu Jia is not up to them to decide.

Everything depends on what Guo Xiaoyan thinks.

If Guo Xiaoyan has given up on Liu Jia, that's one thing. But if her sister really wants to continue living with Liu Jia, then even if she makes a mistake, it's understandable.

In this world, which brother would want to see his sister suffer?

Seeing Guo Xiaoyan staring at him without moving, Guo Jianjun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yan'er, did you finish eating? Do you want some more of that pickled vegetable? I haven't even tasted it yet. Want to have some with me?"

Guo Xiaoyan hesitated.

To be honest, I was so excited that I didn't eat enough.

Upon hearing Guo Jianjun's words, Guo Xiaoyan felt her stomach rumbling.

The food used to be unappetizing when it was laid out on the table, but now that we have pickled vegetables, it's a completely different story.

"Alright then, I'll eat with you!"

Seeing an opportunity, Guo Xiaoyan went to the restaurant on her own.

Guo Jianjun waved to Guo Xiaolan and said in a barely audible voice, "See that? That's the charm of old-fashioned pickled vegetables!"

Guo Xiaolan tried to purse her lips, but she still laughed out loud, and a pair of dimples appeared on her face.

Sitting down at the dining table, looking at the old pickled vegetables, Guo Xiaoyan suddenly thought of Liu Jialai.

I have no idea what this guy is doing right now.

Xili Village.

Zhou family.

"Third Brother, you're amazing! How could I possibly thank you enough?"

Zhou Caixia's voice was filled with excitement, making Liu Jia's eardrums buzz.

"Fine, fine. Why are you talking so loudly? Don't you have any manners as a young lady? Your voice sounds like a firecracker!"

Seeing his daughter behaving improperly, Zhou Fengshou sternly reminded her.

Zhou Caixia was taken aback. She had just stood up when her rolled-up trouser legs fell down again.

So Zhou Caixia retorted while pulling up her trouser leg.

"Dad, what are you saying? My second brother's feet are like cannons, how could my voice be that loud?"

When Zhou Fengshou described Zhou Caixia's voice as a double firecracker, Liu Jia, who was standing next to him, also laughed.

Thinking back now, I really miss the feeling of setting off firecrackers.

With only a few months left until the Lunar New Year, Liu Jia thought to himself, "This year I'm determined to have a proper holiday!"

Seeing that Zhou Fengshou was too lazy to pay attention to her, Zhou Caixia looked at Liu Jia next to her.

"Third Brother, was my voice that loud?"

"I think Uncle Zhou's description is a bit off..."

Before Liu Jia could finish speaking, Zhou Caixia shyly braided her hair and became bashful.

"That's right, how could their voice be that loud?"

"I think your voice is much louder than a firecracker!"

"Liu Jia, I call you Third Brother, and you treat me like this?!"

Upon realizing she had been tricked, Zhou Caixia was so angry that she flung her braid behind her back and reached out to hit Liu Jia's arm.

But just as he raised his hand, before it could land on Liu Jia, a dark figure suddenly ran into the yard!

"Village chief, you must go and take a look!"

"Something's happened in the north of the village!"
