Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

The scene remained frozen in place.

Jiang Sen didn't step forward, and neither did Wang Haiyang.

Hei Zi glanced at the crowd from behind, then turned and ran away.

Zhao Guangming's face was completely black, and the big donkey also looked indifferent, even showing a disdainful expression.

Zhao Dahu didn't move, but the gun barrel was very steady. His hand didn't shake at all. His index finger was hooked on the trigger, and he began to apply slight force.

Sun Wenge arrived at this time.

I was startled when I came in and saw this scene.

"What are you doing? Huh? Big Tiger! Put the gun away!"

"Old Zhao! Say something! This could kill someone!"

"Can't we just talk things out properly? Huh?"

"What are they supporting?"

"what?"

"All of you, stop crowding around, disperse, and go home!"

"It's gone!"

Sun Wenge drove all the villagers away, but Zhao Dahu and Dalvzi were still standing there, facing off.

Zhao Guangming stared at the big donkey, and Zhao Erhu and Erluzi stopped fighting and stood together, also staring at the two of them.

Sun Wenge clicked his tongue, went up and grabbed Da Hu's gun, taking it from him.

"Alright, enough with the guns and cannons. Go home!" He kicked Da Hu, but not hard.

Da Hu glanced at him, then looked at Zhao Guangming. Zhao Guangming nodded slightly, then Da Hu pointed at the big donkey and turned to leave.

In the past, Sun Wenge would never have interfered in the Zhao family's affairs, much less kicked them like he would his own child.

But it is different now.

He took the gun into the village committee office, put it in a corner, and then came out again.

"Hey donkey, that's enough! Take your wife home right now! What kind of behavior is this!"

The donkey wasn't really stupid, it was just stubborn and dared to fight head-on.

He didn't know how to end things, but when Sun Wenge spoke, he seized the opportunity and slapped his wife.

"It's all your fault, you old woman, you're such a handful! Just wait until we get home, I'll make you regret it! Let's go!"

Erluzi's mother became obedient at this point and followed along dejectedly.

Seeing that everything was alright, Hu Zhiqing exchanged a few polite words with the village chief and left with Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang.

Erluzi, head drooping, said to Zhao Erhu, "Erhu, shall we fight again?"

"Screw that! Come on! I'll take you to play!"

The two got back together.

As they walked towards the village entrance, they saw Hei Zi leading a few people running towards them from afar.

Luo Yongcai heard from Hei Zi that a fight had broken out in the village and that guns had been used, so he didn't dare to delay and quickly brought his men over.

As a result, they ran into Zhao Erhu and Erlvzi at the village entrance.

The haters were dumbfounded. "You're not going to fight anymore?"

"What the hell are you fighting for!" Zhao Erhu cursed. "Where have you been?"

“I…” Hei Zi turned to look at Luo Yongcai.

Luo Yongcai asked, "Didn't they say there was a fight in the village involving guns?"

Zhao Erhu glared at Hei Zi, then laughed and said to Luo Yongcai, "It was just a joke, everyone was having fun, just kidding, just kidding..."

He spoke without any confidence.

Luo Yongcai looked towards the village for a while and said, "You guys go have fun! We'll go check it out; it's best if nothing's wrong!"

He led his men into the village.

Once Zhao Erhu and Erluzi could no longer see anyone, they turned around and pounced on Heizi in the snow, stuffing snow down his neck.

The three of them flung the snow that had been piled up next to them everywhere, leaving a large chunk missing.

When Jiang Sen and the others returned to their lodgings, Mao Jun laid out the prizes in a row on the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at them with great satisfaction.

"It makes me so happy! You guys are amazing!"

"Hey? What's going on over in the village? Who's fighting with whom?"

Hu Zhiqing smiled and shook his head, "Is the food ready?"

Mao Jun then remembered, "Alright! Alright! We've been waiting for you all to come back! Everyone's waiting in the canteen, come on over! Everyone's waiting to celebrate!"

The canteen at the educated youth settlement was as big as a classroom.

People rarely eat here; they use the space to stockpile vegetables and grains.

Because of the previous heavy snow, all the food rations were distributed, leaving this place empty.

The educated youth had many strengths, so they tidied up, repaired the tables and chairs, and nailed together a few long benches from firewood. It looked quite decent.

A large bowl was filled with a stew of potatoes, cabbage, mushrooms, wild vegetables, and pickled salted fish.

They also made pancakes by mixing potatoes, wild vegetables, and cornmeal together.

Jiang Sen was generous and contributed some strong liquor, which caused another uproar.

Many of the people who drink alcohol poured themselves a full cup of tea, while those who don't drink alcohol also took a small sip.

During the meal, everyone was in high spirits and shared their certificates of merit and medals again.

Some people started singing, and even the cows in the nearby cowshed joined in, mooing along.

But there was no such atmosphere in the village.

Everyone went about their own business, and when the fight broke out, no one dared to come out and risk getting in the way of finding out.

Women who are close friends will get together, close the door, and chat about this family and that family.

This is what winter is like in Northeast China.

It's only the end of September, and people are already hibernating.

With National Day approaching, the farm headquarters issued a notice soliciting articles from all brigades to celebrate National Day, which would be published in the division's newsletter.

If it's well-written, it will be reported to higher authorities and may be published in the daily newspaper.

Now, all the educated youth with some literary talent are holed up at home, racking their brains to write a magnificent article.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang were also busy; they waded through the snow and went into the mountains again.

As a result, they couldn't find any mushrooms or wild vegetables because they were buried in the snow, but instead they encountered a nest of wild boars.

A male and female pair with six piglets.

Fortunately, the snow was heavy, and the wild boars couldn't catch up with them; otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten any pork and would have been eaten by the boars instead.

The two ran out of the forest and watched the wild boars grunting and scurrying around in the snow looking for food, laughing and joking for a while.

Wang Haiyang said, "These guys are huge. If we could catch them all, we'd have enough to eat, and we could even share some with the team headquarters. It's a shame we couldn't catch them!"

Jiang Sen patted him on the shoulder, "Have you forgotten what we do?"

"What are you doing? You're a sent-down youth!"

"Idiot! We're still the militia!"

Wang Haiyang's eyes lit up, but he quickly deflated. "They're militia, that's true, but they can't just lend us guns. Besides, if they lend us guns, they'll have to give a reason, right? Will the villagers not come? If they wipe us out, how many of us will get a bite?"

Jiang Sen nodded, "That seems to be the case."

But he quickly had another idea. "Let's go to the team headquarters and find Captain Luo!"

Luo Yongcai loved hunting. He had taken Jiang Sen to hunt wild boars and even took a pig that the team's cook had already slaughtered to the mountain.

If you contact him, there will definitely be no problem.

Without saying a word to anyone else, the two went straight to the team headquarters.

Upon hearing that a nest of wild boars had been discovered, Luo Yongcai immediately selected five men, all armed, and followed Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang into the mountains.

"Clap!"

"Snapped!"

Shots fired in the mountains have echoes that travel far, reaching the villages and the educated youth settlements.

Several people came out and looked up at the mountain, wondering what had happened.

Zhao Guangming told Zhao Dahu to take a few men into the mountains to check things out, and to come back and report immediately if anything happened.

Ho Chi Thanh was also very nervous. He had just arrested a spy, and now another traitor had appeared.

They quickly organized a few people, grabbed shovels and sickles, and headed into the mountains.

Halfway there, they saw Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang walking back happily beside Luo Yongcai.

Behind them were several people, two of whom were carrying a wild boar.

"Captain!" Jiang Sen waved to him, "Captain Luo and his men wiped out a nest of wild boars!"
