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

Seeing that Guo Xiaoyan was about to lose her temper, Cao Xiangyang, who was already embarrassed, became even more awkward.

"Look, why are you still unhappy? Since you said it's important, I was just asking to see if I could help. I didn't mean to pry into your privacy."

Cao Xiangyang hurriedly explained, and Guo Xiaoyan's expression softened somewhat.

"Don't ask me anything. I can handle my own affairs. Aren't you quite busy lately? So don't keep coming to our house."

Guo Xiaoyan's politeness gave Cao Xiangyang a bad feeling.

Cao Xiangyang had originally planned to mention meeting Guo Xiaoyan's parents during this trip.

Seeing his current state, Cao Xiangyang swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After that, the two chatted for a few more minutes. Although the atmosphere in the room was not as stiff as before, Cao Xiangyang felt suffocated every time he saw the net bag on the table.

Guo Xiaoyan was so nervous when she mentioned Liu Jia, so this matter is probably related to Liu Jia!

It seems that Liu Jia is really going against me!

"Xiaoyan, I saw Liu Jia at the supply and marketing cooperative the other day. It was the first time we met. It was quite a coincidence that we came out together."

Cao Xiangyang tentatively spoke, but his gaze lingered on Guo Xiaoyan's face.

Sure enough, when Liu Jia was mentioned, Guo Xiaoyan seemed like a different person, and even asked several questions at once.

"What was he doing at the supply and marketing cooperative? How did you recognize him? Did he go there alone, or was anyone else with him?"

"Xiaoyan, this is what happened..."

……

Back to Xili Village.

Liu Jia has a very full schedule planned for the future.

We need to deliver baskets to the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and we can't delay the inventory at the Qingcheng Public Supply and Marketing Cooperative either. Now, we also need to prepare baskets for the exhibition.

Meanwhile, Liu Jia was also inquiring about Peng Tianliang's whereabouts in Qingcheng.

The baskets for the exhibition are not in such high demand in terms of time; there are still a few days available.

Therefore, what Liu Jia needs to do right now is to accumulate more inventory while ensuring that baskets are supplied to the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

When the time is right, we will send it to Qingcheng.

"You can't swallow a fat person whole; you have to eat one bite at a time and take it slow."

Liu Jia pondered this in his heart, while constantly reassuring himself.

A person slid around under the big tree for a long time, muttering to himself.

Suddenly, Liu Jia threw the branch in his hand aside, his brows furrowing.

And there's also the matter of Guo Xiaoyan!

How could I have forgotten about this?

Upon returning, Zhang Guilan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the peanut skins had been delivered.

Seeing her mother's beaming face, Liu Jia didn't dare to tell her that she was going to meet Guo Xiaoyan.

Firstly, it's unnecessary, and secondly, it's better to avoid trouble.

Even though she herself doesn't mention Guo Xiaoyan, her mother still brings her up from time to time.

If I bring it up, won't I be worried sick?

No, we can't afford to go through that!

Liu Jia bit her lip, pondering for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why Guo Xiaoyan had come to find her.

Oh well, I'm going to deliver the baskets tomorrow anyway, I'll talk about it when we meet!

The aroma of food wafted from the house. Liu Jia took a deep sniff and then went to the backyard to find his older brother and sister-in-law for dinner.

The family ate together in a lively atmosphere, and the rice, flour, and cooking oil were quickly consumed. Liu Jia reminded Zhang Guilan more than once that they could buy more rice when they ran out, and that they couldn't let everyone go hungry.

At the same time, Liu Jia has been subtly instilling in everyone the concept that money is earned, not saved.

If the money saved from every penny could make you rich, then why would anyone bother earning work points?

Let's just cut back on food and clothing!

Liu Jianye wholeheartedly agreed with Liu Jia's viewpoint.

Liu Xinguo smiled at Qin Chunyan and did not refute her.

Zhang Guilan clicked her tongue in frustration, saying several times, "Sanzi has corrupted you all!"

The next morning, after delivering baskets to the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Jia met with Li Zhenhe again.

Upon seeing Li Zhenhe in front of him, Liu Jia's eyebrows practically stood on end!

"Brother Li, is this really you? I don't even recognize you dressed like this!"

"It seems that Caixia's charm is really great; you're like a completely different person now."

"What's up? Do you want me to send you a message? Is there something you want me to tell you?"

Liu Jia sighed and joked at the same time.

Li Zhenhe, sitting opposite him, was already red-faced and his neck was thick with anger.

To be honest, after not seeing Zhou Caixia for two days, Li Zhenhe felt like he had lost his soul.

But when he heard Liu Jia say he would send a message back, Li Zhenhe felt a little embarrassed.

He had a lot to say to Zhou Caixia, but when he spoke to Liu Jia, his tongue seemed to tremble.

I can't explain it!

If I could, I would love to go to Xili Village every day, but if I had to keep going back and forth like this every day, I might lose my job!

Li Zhenhe was contradictory and only scratched his head, but in the end, Liu Jia saw through him.

“Brother Li, if you ask me, stop scratching your head like that. Go to Xizhai Village more often these days. Once you’ve gotten to know Caixia well enough, then set the wedding date.”

"Let me tell you, Caixia is a well-known good girl in our surrounding villages. So many men are lining up to marry her. If you're not in a hurry, someone else might snatch her away."

"I'm not kidding you, don't blame me for not warning you!"

At first, Liu Jia spoke with a smile, but later he became more and more serious.

Li Zhenhe felt tense again.

"Hey brother, you'd better keep a close eye on this for me. I'm not with Caixia, so if anything happens, you have to tell me right away."

"It's not enough for me to just pass on messages to you; you have to do this yourself, don't you think?"

"I know, I know."

Li Zhenhe immediately sensed a sense of crisis and stood up straight.

Liu Jia burst out laughing.

Li Zhenhe then relaxed a little.

As Liu Jia explained the upcoming plans, Li Zhenhe nodded repeatedly.

After Liu Jia finished speaking, Li Zhenhe suddenly brought up another matter.

"Brother, do you remember the last time we met Cao Xiangyang?"

Liu Jia nodded.

Li Zhenhe gasped, his expression grave. "I know who that woman is," he said. "It's the one with the perm!"

"Who is it?"

Filled with curiosity, Liu Jia asked a question, and while asking, he moved closer to Li Zhenhe.

"That woman is a businesswoman, and she's very shrewd. Her business is different from ours; she does..."

He stopped mid-sentence and tapped his wrist with two fingers.

"What are you making? Gold bracelets!"

Li Zhenhe slapped the wrist, and Liu Jia instinctively thought of a bracelet.

Given how mysterious Li Zhenhe had made it sound, Liu Jia concluded that it must be a gold bracelet!

"No, it's a watch!"

After saying that, Li Zhenhe swallowed hard.

Liu Jia frowned and muttered to himself.

"If it's a watch business, then this is a very large business, and the volume must be huge."

"That's right, it's all about the 'three turns and one ring' (referring to a watch, a sewing machine, a revolving door, and a radio). What respectable person would get married without a watch?"

As Liu Jiasi spoke, Li Zhenhe was also wondering just how rich that woman with the permed hair really was.

"Does that woman run her own business, or does her family run a business?"

Liu Jia wanted to ask for more details.

Li Zhenhe, standing next to him, answered without hesitation.

"Right now, that woman is the only one making watches, but her background is definitely not simple. By the way, that woman's name is Bai Limei."

Bai Limei.

Liu Jia thought carefully for a while, but couldn't find any memories about Bai Limei.

Therefore, we can only take it one step at a time.

"By the way, is there any news from Tianliang's side?"

"No, what's the big deal? If something serious happened, my uncle would have sent word over long ago."

Liu Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that you're alright. Being alright is a good thing.

“Let’s go, let’s have a meal together, you should go back soon,” Li Zhenhe looked up at the sky and began to mutter to himself, “These days, you really can’t get by without a watch.”

Upon seeing the watch together, both of them immediately thought of Bai Limei.

They glanced at each other, and Li Zhenhe quickly looked around. Finding no one around, they lowered their voices considerably.

"Hey bro, have you sold any of those tickets you have? Someone contacted me yesterday asking me to find them some tickets. Should we sell ours?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jia immediately perked up. "Brother Li, you have such good news? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I have to tell you one thing at a time, right? What I'm reporting to you are all important matters..."

Before Li Zhenhe could finish speaking, Liu Jia began to urge him on.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

“There’s someone who delivers goods for the supply and marketing cooperative. We’ve known each other for several years. He’s looking for some receipts but is afraid of being discovered, so he asked me to inquire about it. Should we issue some?”

After listening, Liu Jia pondered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth.

"out!"

"We have plenty of tickets on hand. We'll exchange them for whatever amount we can. It's better than letting them rot in our hands!"

As soon as Liu Jia said that, Li Zhenhe immediately chimed in, "Okay, let's discuss it properly over dinner and see how much to contribute."

As Li Zhenhe was talking, he started to walk towards the restaurant, but Liu Jia grabbed his arm.

"Brother Li, I can't have dinner with you today, I have to meet someone."

"Who is it? Let's have dinner together!"

Liu Jia scratched his head. "Brother Li, I'm going to see Guo Xiaoyan."

"Your ex-wife, aren't you two getting a divorce?"

Li Zhenhe almost jumped up while he was speaking!
