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

"What are you all looking at? Can't my boyfriend and I even link arms?"

Zhou Caixia held her head high, and spoke in a clear and crisp voice.

Everyone around was stunned!

Even Zhou Fengshou, who usually had a long face, gasped in surprise.

If it weren't for so many people watching, Mr. Zhou said he really wanted to go up to his daughter and ask her what had happened.

Liu Jia was taken aback at first, then started to secretly chuckle.

Caixia's girl is really willing to go all out!

This is a good thing. Not only will it make you feel better, but it will also give those gossiping people a resounding slap in the face!

Caixia's move was truly impressive!

The entire area fell silent, and Zhou Caixia could almost hear her own heartbeat.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Zhenhe mustered up his courage and said, "Yes, when we set a date, we'll give everyone wedding candy!"

Zhou Caixia suddenly felt her legs buckle and almost lost her balance.

My actions just now were already shocking, and now this new person has suddenly appeared – it's all so unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhenhe was even better at talking.

They even talked about setting a date and getting wedding candy!

Seeing this scene, Liu Jia wanted to applaud and cheer, and even felt a lump in his throat.

To reiterate, if Zhou Caixia really marries Li Zhenhe in the future, she will definitely have a wonderful life!

Several young women and married women nearby were also looking at Zhou Caixia. Liu Jia could tell that their gazes contained not only shock but also envy.

The gossipy women who had previously acted as matchmakers for Zhou Caixia started whispering amongst themselves.

"No wonder the Zhou family's second daughter didn't like anyone; it turns out her boyfriend was from the city!"

"It's all our fault for not asking around beforehand. If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have had to waste our breath talking."

"Now I understand why Caixia always said she wasn't going to find a boyfriend. With such a good guy right here, why would she be interested in a guy from the village?"

"I heard this person is a full-time employee. Caixia is such a lucky girl!"

"The Zhou family has raised two wonderful daughters; they're enough to make anyone envious!"

After listening to everyone's discussion, Liu Jia breathed a long sigh of relief.

Caixia's matter is considered resolved, right?

Finally, a weight has been lifted from my heart.

"Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep."

The whistle to start work rang out again, and people snapped out of their daze, quickly picked up their tools, and headed to the fields.

Along the way, everyone kept talking about Zhou Caixia and Li Zhenhe.

Seeing that everyone was ready to start working, the work recorder walked over to Zhou Fengshou.

"Captain, how about we treat ourselves to something special today? Your son-in-law is here, so we'd better prepare a few good dishes!"

Even at this point, Zhou Fengshou felt as if his feet were walking on cotton, floating on air.

After being teased by the work recorder, Zhou Fengshou realized that he needed to hurry up and prepare lunch!

Caixia's daughter said that Li Zhenhe is her boyfriend, so they can't let Li Zhenhe go to Lao Liu's house for dinner!

"Yes, you'd better hold me off for a bit if anything happens. I'm going to go cut some meat right now, I need to get ready!"

As Zhou Fengshou spoke, he turned around and hurried home.

After watching Zhou Fengshou leave, Liu Jia turned to Li Zhenhe and said, "See? Your future father-in-law has definitely gone back to cook. You're going to have a nice meal today!"

"Oh no, what should I do then?"

Li Zhenhe panicked and was completely at a loss.

Li Zhenhe had indeed tidied up properly when he came over today, but he never expected things to develop so quickly.

In just a few words, Zhou Caixia agreed to date him.

Moreover, they confirmed their relationship in front of so many people.

This should have been a good thing; it was like a windfall, and I caught it safely.

But you can't just sit there and be happy. The woman's father has already gone back to prepare, so you can't just go over for dinner without any shame, can you?

That doesn't make sense.

If that were to happen, not only would he lose face, but he would also make Zhou Caixia lose face!

If someone visits their father-in-law's house for the first time without bringing anything, just sitting there with their mouth open and their shoulders hunched, wouldn't that be a disgrace to their ancestors?

I need to buy something! I absolutely have to buy something!

After the thought flashed through his mind, Li Zhenhe suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Jia.

"Hey bro, I'm going to buy something, you wait here!"

As he spoke, Li Zhenhe lifted his foot and straddled the bicycle seat. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

"Caixia, wait for me! I'll be back in a bit!"

When Li Zhenhe spoke to Zhou Caixia, his voice was very gentle, so sweet it was almost overflowing with sweetness.

Liu Jia pursed his lips and shook his head.

What's the matter?

Li Zhenhe has changed; he's become obsessed with Zhou Caixia. Luckily, it's daytime; if it were night, he'd be completely lost!

Zhou Caixia blushed.

He actually called himself Caixia? And in such a cloying way, it was really embarrassing.

"What are you still standing there for? Everyone's already gone, hurry up and pack up and go home!" Liu Jia slowly reminded Zhou Caixia.

"Why go home?" Zhou Caixia's eyes widened, her face full of confusion.

"Hey, are you stupid? Didn't you see Uncle Zhou went back to prepare? Are you going to let Li Zhenhe cook with your dad later?"

After Liu Jia said that, Zhou Caixia actually pouted.

Not far away, Caixia Niang was already walking towards them.

It seems they all had the same idea.

"Then, Third Brother, why don't you skip work and come back with us? I'm not confident about going back by ourselves."

"What are you afraid of? You've seen Li Zhenhe before, he's not going to eat you up, is he? Don't forget, this is our territory!"

Seeing that Liu Jia was talking nonsense again, Zhou Caixia directly said harshly, "What, are you doing this for these work points, or are you coming back with us? You decide!"

After saying that, Zhou Caixia deliberately muttered under her breath, "She talks about her dear sister all the time, but when it comes to actually doing something, she immediately chickens out."

Liu Jia gasped in shock.

Coward? When have I ever been a coward!

So what if we're going to the Zhou family? Who's afraid of who!

"Let's go, I can't let a little girl look down on me!"

Liu Jia raised his eyebrows as he explained the situation to the work recorder, and then went home with Zhou Caixia and Caixia's mother.

Li Zhenhe's arrival and Zhou Caixia's decision were like a large stone thrown into a lake, instantly throwing the entire Xili Village into turmoil.

Even as they walked away, the members' chatter continued.

Some people even started calculating the date, wondering when they could attend the Zhou family's wedding feast for their daughter.

Just as Liu Jia and the others arrived home, Zhou Fengshou came back carrying a large piece of meat.

Zhou Caixia and her mother went straight to the kitchen to get busy, while Zhou Fengshou left Liu Jia behind.

For the first time ever, Zhou Fengshou actually offered Liu Jia a cigarette.

Liu Jia burst out laughing in astonishment, "Uncle Zhou, what are you doing? Are you treating me like a matchmaker now?"

"I'm happy today, so I'll keep Uncle Zhou company and smoke a couple of cigarettes."

When he spoke, Zhou Fengshou's mouth was wide open.

Liu Jia also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Zhou Fengshou; their thoughts were self-evident.

Taking the filtered cigarette, Liu Jia lit a match, his expression becoming more serious.

He took a really hard drag and choked, coughing.

Beside him, Zhou Fengshou sat on a small bamboo stool.

“Sanzi, Caixia is a stubborn girl by nature. Your aunt and I have spoiled her. But we owe you a lot for what happened today.”

“If Caixia and Xiaoli’s relationship can work out, we can finally relax. No matter what others think, I’ve watched you grow up since you were a child, and I trust your judgment.”

"Times have changed, but people's hearts should not change. I will need to seek your opinions more often in the future."

Zhou Fengshou's eyes were filled with admiration, and his words came from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Zhou, please don't say that. I know my own limitations. I can let small things go, but I need you to make decisions on big matters, otherwise I'll feel insecure!"

With a smile on his face, Liu Jia immediately flattered Zhou Fengshou.

This not only made Zhou Fengshou save face, but also gave him a great way out.

"You little rascal, your tongue is getting smoother and smoother!"

Zhou Fengshou noticed Liu Jia's changes and was delighted.

After all, Zhou Fengshou had watched him grow up since he was a child, and he treated Liu Jiazhen like a son.

Seeing Liu Jia becoming more and more composed and decisive, Zhou Fengshou was genuinely happy.

As the two were talking, the sound of bicycle brakes suddenly came from nearby.

Then, Li Zhenhe rode in on his bicycle.

The handlebars were covered with bags and packages, and even the back seat was stuffed with things.

"Brother Li, you're something else! Are you trying to bring the supply and marketing cooperative back here?"

Liu Jia let go, stomped out the cigarette, and hurried to take Li Zhenhe's things.

Li Zhenhe had a simple, honest smile on his face.

"I didn't know what my uncle and aunt liked, so I just bought some. Be careful not to spill the candy!"

Liu Jia was taken aback, only then realizing that Li Zhenhe had handed over two large bags... fruit candies!

"Brother Li, what are you doing?"

Liu Jia lowered his voice, his expression almost frozen!

Come see your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, why did you buy so many fruit candies?
