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

Ever since he learned his lesson from Liu Jia, Zhang Dalaba always felt compelled to say a few words whenever he saw Liu Jia.

At the same time, he was worried that Liu Jia would make things difficult for him.

So, in this conflicted state of mind, Zhang Dalaba got his fill of talking and then immediately became afraid.

After their previous encounters, Zhang Dalaba knew he was no match for Liu Jia.

Therefore, the criticism should gradually increase in volume, rather than starting off loudly.

Even so, Liu Jia was still seen twisting his neck.

Zhang Dalaba immediately shut his mouth and remained silent.

Liu Jia merely glanced coldly at Zhang Dalaba without uttering a word.

Zhang Dalaba secretly breathed a sigh of relief, almost reaching out to pat his chest twice.

"Third Brother, listen, Zhang the loudspeaker is shouting all over the world again."

Zhou Caixia was annoyed and rolled her eyes as she spoke.

"Ignore her. Deal with her after we're done with this busy period."

Liu Jia was telling the truth.

Right now, I really don't have the mind to deal with Zhang Cuihua; the matter of Peng Tianliang alone is already causing me a lot of trouble.

Although he thought everything was arranged, Liu Jia was still uneasy; the wait was simply agonizing.

What was it about last time that made you toss and turn like this?

Liu Jia frowned in thought.

Then, Guo Xiaoyan's image appeared in my mind.

By the way, the last time I felt this anxious was after Guo Xiaoyan talked to me.

At that time, Guo Xiaoyan said she wanted to marry him, and Liu Jia got carried away.

No matter what Guo Xiaoyan said, Liu Jia readily agreed and even vowed to do his best to ensure Guo Xiaoyan had a good life.

But that night, Liu Jia couldn't sleep.

All sorts of worries suddenly flooded my mind.

He worried that Guo Xiaoyan would regret it after dawn, and that he hadn't done enough and would disappoint her.

Liu Jia was even worried that other young men in the village would snatch Guo Xiaoyan away.

That night, Liu Jia tossed and turned countless times; it was pure agony.

Waiting for news from Peng Tianliang is equally worrying.

"Third Brother, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing that Liu Jia looked preoccupied, Zhou Caixia tilted her head and asked another question.

"It's okay, we're waiting for news."

"What news? Good news or bad news?"

Liu Jia pursed his lips, "It's a mixed bag, no one can say for sure right now. I just hope that Tianliang has better self-control and doesn't fall into someone else's trap."

After hearing this, Zhou Caixia sighed in front of Liu Jia.

"I thought it was something serious. Turns out you weren't worried about what we were talking about earlier? Third Brother, I really don't know what you're thinking. That bamboo basket can make our whole village rich. Isn't that a big deal?"

As she spoke, Zhou Caixia paused, then her face turned extremely serious.

"We need to do a good job of promoting the bamboo baskets, otherwise people won't be interested."

"Also, shouldn't we step up our efforts and weave some better baskets? Are the baskets we sent before up of good quality?"

Zhou Caixia rattled off a whole bunch of things in one breath.

Liu Jia was completely stunned.

"What propaganda? Why bother weaving such good baskets?"

As soon as he asked the question, Liu Jia suddenly understood what Zhou Caixia was talking about.

"Seriously? I just said I was just kidding about Zhou Erlai, how could you actually believe me?"

"What did you say!" Zhou Caixia's head buzzed for a moment, and she reached out and grabbed Liu Jia's arm, shaking it hard twice. "Liu Jia, say it again!"

Liu Jia quickly pulled his arm away, "What are you doing? You're still interrogating me? You're not even calling me Third Brother anymore, you're just calling me by name!"

"But I thought what you just said was true. Do you know how happy I was? Turns out you were lying!"

Zhou Caixia pouted again.

Liu Jia raised an eyebrow. "Could you please keep your voice down? If this gets back to Zhou Erlai's ears, all that effort will have been for nothing!"

Zhou Caixia was speechless. She forcefully shook off Liu Jia's arm and strode forward.

Liu Jia didn't chase after him, and continued walking slowly toward the production team.

not far away.

When Zhang Cuihua saw what was happening, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Before she could even react, she had already started whispering to the people around her.

"See that? They're pulling and tugging at each other right there in the street. There's definitely something going on between them! You might not believe me, but we'll see!"

Everyone saw what just happened.

However, no one made as much a fuss as Zhang Cuihua.

Finally, someone spoke up to smooth things over, saying, "Don't say that anymore. Times have changed. Women can hold up half the sky too. Maybe they're talking about work."

"Work? What jobs do they have? You're just trying to smooth things over!"

Zhang Cuihua pursed her lips, picked up the hoe, hoisted it onto her shoulder, and walked away.

Zhou Caixia couldn't understand it. Logically speaking, she should have been happy to see Zhou Erlai so frightened.

But for some reason, when Zhou Caixia heard Liu Jia say that the story about the basket was false, she felt a strong sense of disappointment.

If only this were true!

Unfortunately, Liu Jia said it was a lie.

Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative Warehouse.

Director Li personally organized the warehouse, with a splint around his neck and a pen in his hand, checking the inventory of each product one by one.

"You guys, clear out all the inventory here. The supply and marketing cooperative is about to make a bulk purchase of fertilizer, so we don't want to run out of space later."

"Let's tidy up those unused items in the yard, otherwise we won't be able to fit them all when the cart comes."

"See if there are any temporary workers available, preferably from around here. Contact several, so we don't end up in a rush."

Director Li walked along giving instructions, and the people next to him nodded repeatedly.

The centralized procurement of fertilizers is about to begin, and the entire supply and marketing cooperative will be very busy.

Not only horse-drawn carriages and mule carts gather here, but those handcarts should not be underestimated either.

The supply and marketing cooperative is a transit point. After the fertilizer is brought in, it is sorted at the supply and marketing cooperative and then distributed to other places.

Although the time was short, the busyness involved was considerable, and if not properly managed, it would inevitably lead to chaos.

"By the way, which of those drivers from the supply and marketing cooperative are working today? Is Li Zhenhe here?"

Among all the drivers in the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Zhenhe was the youngest, so whenever there was a problem, Director Li would think of Li Zhenhe.

"Director, you forgot, Li Zhenhe is on shift today."

Upon hearing the voice from the side, Director Li immediately frowned.

"This kid, why is he switching shifts every other day? He's getting more and more unreliable!"

Muttering a dissatisfied grumble, Director Li was about to say something when someone rushed over, "Director, someone is looking for you."

"Who is it? Can't you see I'm busy? Tell them to talk about it later."

"He said he knows you, and his surname is Cao."

Upon hearing this, Director Li immediately stopped in his tracks.

Director Li turned and looked around, then handed the pen in his hand to the person next to him, and then took the splint off his neck.

"It must be something important. I'll go check it out first. You guys stay here and keep an eye on things. Make sure you remember the things I mentioned. Don't be careless."

Seeing Director Li's solemn instructions, the people following him nodded again before Director Li left.

He had only turned around and taken a few steps when Director Li's brows furrowed into a knot.

Why did Cao Xiangyang come at this time?

The thought of Cao Xiangyang made Director Li gasp in horror.

Lately, the person I'm most afraid to see is him, mainly because I feel guilty.

Last time, Cao Xiangyang was clearly angry about the bamboo basket incident, and he himself was somewhat embarrassed.

I wonder what his purpose is this time?

……

Before half the morning had passed, Li Zhenhe suddenly appeared in the fields of Xili Village.

When the work recorder saw someone riding a bicycle over, he quickly walked to the edge of the field.

"Hello comrade, I'm looking for someone, Liu Jia. I'm from the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative, my name is Li Zhenhe."

Upon seeing the work recorder, Li Zhenhe began his usual spiel, which the work recorder was thoroughly tired of hearing.

This time, however, the timekeeper's face was filled with surprise.

"Li Zhenhe? What's wrong with you? You're like a completely different person."

In the past, Li Zhenhe always appeared in the fields of Xili Village covered in dust, his forehead always dusty.

Not only that, but the clothes he was wearing were also very ordinary.

If it weren't for the old-fashioned bicycle he had, people would believe he was a member of the village's commune.

But today is different.

Li Zhenhe was fair-skinned and clean-cut, his hair looked freshly cut, and he wore a dark blue uniform with creases.

It was clearly done with care.

Seeing the work recorder looking him up and down, Li Zhenhe smiled sheepishly.

"What do you mean you've changed? I've always been like this, haven't I?"

The work recorder was both amused and exasperated. Did they think he was stupid for always doing this?

"You're dressed like you're going on a blind date. You never used to dress like this."

A casual remark from the work recorder made Li Zhenhe's heart skip a beat.

Zhou Caixia is in Xili Village, and she is the girl I love. I'm about to meet her, so I have to dress up nicely.

Thinking this, Li Zhenhe quickly reached out to fix his hair.

At this moment, the work recorder began to shout loudly, "Liu Jia, someone is looking for you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the work recorder.

Zhou Caixia also instinctively turned her head away.
