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

At the critical moment, Liu Jia made a turn.

My heart, which had been pounding in my throat, returned to its place.

After pedaling for a few more laps, Liu Jia finally stopped.

But Li Zhenhe behind him still had a furrowed brow.

Getting out of the car, Li Zhenhe tilted his head and asked Liu Jia, "Brother, what were you thinking just now? Weren't you thinking of beating that kid up?"

Liu Jia was taken aback.

"Why would I beat him up? Just to hit him a couple of times, why would I stand two blocks away from him?"

"My God, it seems like we're not on the same page. So why are you following him?"

When Li Zhenhe asked this question, Liu Jia was speechless.

That's right. If it weren't for revenge, why would I be following Cao Xiangyang around in such a state of anxiety?

After careful consideration, Liu Jia replied earnestly, "I need to understand his motives."

"What motive? With that woman..."

Before Li Zhenhe could finish speaking, his eyes had already darted around several times, and finally, Li Zhenhe's eyes narrowed into slits.

"Don't look at me like that, it makes me uncomfortable."

"Brother, did your ex-wife have feelings for someone else? It wouldn't happen to be Cao Xiangyang, would it?" Before Liu Jia could answer, Li Zhenhe slapped his thigh. "What a coincidence! How come everything is coming together like this?"

Liu Jia never expected that a grown man could be so gossipy.

Before Li Zhenhe could continue his guesses, Liu Jia quickly corrected him.

"It's not as complicated as you think. Guo Xiaoyan and Cao Xiangyang are probably classmates. I always feel that Cao Xiangyang is not simple. We all need to be careful."

Li Zhenhe let out a cold laugh.

“I could tell just now that this kid wasn’t a good person. You can relax and be a good senior brother. I’ll keep an eye on things and see if I can find anything out.”

As he spoke, Li Zhenhe looked back again.

Thinking of Cao Xiangyang's pretty boy face, a look of disdain appeared on her face again.

"Wearing the face of an intellectual but doing absolutely nothing like an intellectual, shameless!"

Hearing Li Zhenhe swearing, Liu Jia wanted to laugh, but he also felt quite relieved.

On the way back, Li Zhenhe mentioned the woman in red with permed hair more than once.

Similar to Liu Jia's analysis, not many people get their hair permed these days. If that woman is from the city, it shouldn't be difficult to find out her background.

As they approached the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Li Zhenhe suddenly said, "

"What?"

Liu Jia was startled and turned around abruptly.

Li Zhenhe quickly reminded him, "Look ahead, look ahead, what are you panicking for?"

"What are you doing here?"

When asked the question, Liu Jia's heart suddenly jumped into his throat.

In his previous life, Peng Shunnian worked as a car mechanic in the city. Not long after, his son had an accident.

If things continue to develop along this trajectory, then...

Liu Jia dared not think any further and could only listen attentively to what Li Zhenhe had to say.

"He said that the handover of work in Qingcheng was almost complete, and he would come here to repair cars after things stabilized at work in the morning."

"Don't you know? My uncle is skilled. Our area is developing rapidly, so the prospects for car repair should be good."

“After being separated from my mother for so many years, my uncle also wants to take advantage of his good health to stay closer to her.”

Liu Jia didn't hear what Li Zhenhe said next; the only thing that lingered in Liu Xiang's mind was Li Zhenhe's words, "Come here to get your car fixed."

Liu Jia stopped the bicycle again, his brows furrowed into a knot.

"I think Qingcheng is developing well, so why do we have to come here?"

Li Zhenhe tilted his head to look at Liu Jia, and Liu Jia had no choice but to make an excuse to explain: "What I mean is, isn't your uncle looking forward to his son's marriage? Why not wait until this matter is settled before talking about it?"

Li Zhenhe shook his head. "I don't know the specifics either. I just heard my mother say something about it."

"I see."

Liu Jia escorted Li Zhenhe to the supply and marketing cooperative before returning to Xili Village.

This time, Liu Jia didn't ride his bicycle as fast as he had when he arrived.

It's mainly because of Peng Shunnian's matter.

Liu Jia hadn't figured out exactly what to do, but one thing he was certain of was that he absolutely couldn't let Peng Shunnian follow in his footsteps for the rest of his life.

Some things can't be explained clearly even face to face, let alone relayed.

Having Li Zhenhe relay the message was clearly impractical; the best solution was for Peng Shunnian to meet with him again himself.

Then... let's expand our business to Qingcheng!

The thought flashed through Liu Jia's mind, and he suddenly became excited!

Before they had gone halfway, Liu Jia suddenly turned back.

Go find Li Zhenhe and talk about developing business in Qingcheng. Also, if possible, let Peng Shunnian be in charge of the Qingcheng area. Of course, we need to ask Peng Shunnian if he is willing.

In Liu Jia's view, it was better for Peng Tianliang to be under Peng Shunnian's watchful eye than to be alone.

……

Li Zhenhe was extremely shocked when Liu Jia came to find him again.

After hearing Liu Jia's plan, Li Zhenhe was speechless with astonishment.

"Brother, is this all planned, or just something you did on a whim? Why does this seem so sudden?"

"What, you're not going to work hard while you're young, are you going to regret it when you're old? Just tell me if you dare or not. If you don't dare, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Liu Jia's words were very direct and carried a clear element of provocation.

Sure enough, Li Zhenhe on the other side got anxious as soon as he heard this, raising his eyebrows high.

"What are you saying? I've never backed down! I'll go if I want, who's afraid of who!"

Liu Jia punched Li Zhenhe on the shoulder. "That's more like you! Next time you bring baskets, shall we go to Qingcheng again?"

"Okay, I'll take care of some work these next couple of days and see if I can take two more days off."

"It won't take two days, one day will do. We need to hurry and not delay the progress of the supply and marketing cooperative here."

Seeing how serious Liu Jia was, Li Zhenhe stopped joking around.

Liu Jia originally wanted to ask Peng Tianliang and Zhou Xiuli how things were going, but then thought that Li Zhenhe might not know either, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After giving a few more instructions, Liu Jia left with peace of mind.

at the same time.

Zhang Xiuying and Guo Xiaoyan were discussing something important.

Seeing Guo Xiaoyan keep her head down and not say a word, Zhang Xiuying was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously on her face.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost time for Guo Jianjun and the others to get off work. Zhang Xiuying couldn't help but speak up.

"Yan'er, what are you really thinking? I think Xiao Cao is a pretty good kid, and you're classmates, so why don't you..."

Zhang Xiuying deliberately left her sentence unfinished, wanting to test Guo Xiaoyan's intentions.

"Mom, are you so eager to marry me off? My brother and sister's marriages aren't even settled yet, why are you always pressuring me?"

Zhang Xiuying's heart skipped a beat.

Guo Jianjun and Guo Xiaolan don't even have partners right now, so there's no need for them to worry about it!

On the contrary, it was Guo Xiaoyan in front of her that Zhang Xiuying was constantly worried about.

"I know I'm being a little impatient, but I don't want to marry you off quickly; I'm just worried."

“What are you worried about? Are you worried that I’ll go back to Xili Village? I know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid that I’ve developed feelings for Liu Jia, and that all your plans will fall apart.”

Zhang Xiuying was speechless after being rebuked.

The mother and daughter sat there, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Although Guo Xiaoyan's words were harsh, they were true.

Zhang Xiuying admitted that what she fears most now is the Liu family.

Just a jar of pickled vegetables was enough to make my daughter lose her mind.

If Liu Jia were to say something, wouldn't Guo Xiaoyan follow him?

If that's the case, then why is Guo Zhiyuan bothering with all this trouble?

Let Guo Xiaoyan stay in Xili Village!

This is the last thing the family wants to see.

Unfortunately, my youngest daughter is like a mule that's easily swayed; if you try to force her, she simply won't listen!

With a helpless sigh, Zhang Xiuying finally gave in.

"Yan'er, you need to think about how hard it has been for you to get to where you are today. You can't act impulsively and ruin your future."

Zhang Xiuying spoke earnestly, and Guo Xiaoyan felt a surge of emotion.

"Mom, I know it's impossible for me and Liu Jia. Don't worry, I'll see him in a couple of days and clear things up, then everything will be fine."

Zhang Xiuying suddenly stood up, as if she wanted to slam her fist on the table right then and there!

I'm so confused!

Guo Xiaoyan must be confused!

"What? You still want to see him?"

"Didn't we make everything clear when we got divorced? What else is there to say?"

"If you ask me, since you're already divorced, there's no need to leave things ambiguous!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaoyan immediately became anxious.

"What do you mean by 'unclear'? I lived in Xili Village for three years, and the Liu family took care of me for three years. They didn't want work or money; we owe them this!"

"I tried every means to get it back, but I also know that one should not be ungrateful!"

"We can't just pretend nothing happened after it's over, can we?"
