Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Wang Haiyang quickly lowered his voice.

"You mean Xiao Ma? How could that be? He's from the forest farm, he almost froze to death, and he almost got killed by wolves, how could he possibly be like that?"

Jiang Sen wondered how Wang Haiyang had managed to survive in the military compound until now.

Logically speaking, dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes. Even if they can't be helped up, they should be more vigilant than others, right?

How could you be so stupid!

"You're late, so there are many things you don't know! Let's not talk about that now, let's hurry up and find Captain Luo!"

Jiang Sen turned and left, and Wang Haiyang ran after him.

"Are you sure?"

"pretty close!"

"What's the basis?"

"I told you, we'll say it all at once later. Saying it now and then having to say it again later is exhausting!"

Wang Haiyang didn't care about any of that. "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me right now!"

"Hurry up, I'll tell you when we get out of the educated youth settlement!"

The distance wasn't long, but it still made Wang Haiyang incredibly eager to get there.

Another spy has been discovered!

If I succeed again this time, let's see what my hot-tempered father has to say.

After telling Hu Zhiqing that something had been left at the team headquarters, Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang quickened their pace.

Once they were out of sight, Wang Haiyang couldn't hold back any longer, "Now you can tell me, right?"

Jiang Sen didn't make any more excuses and directly told him about the suspicious things he had noticed about Xiao Ma when they were at the forest farm.

Wang Haiyang pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What if, I mean, what if, it's just that Xiao Ma has taken a liking to Lu Xiu and wants to pursue her? Or, what if Wei San misheard?"

Jiang Sen said, "It's better to kill a thousand innocent people than to let one guilty person go free. I wouldn't be so sure if it were anyone else, but the other party is Lu Xiu, and you know what kind of person Lu Xiu is."

Wang Haiyang nodded. "That's true. But how can we judge what they're up to based solely on what Wei San heard about trains and railway tracks?"

Jiang Sen glanced at him. If it weren't for the fact that he had connections, he would have liked to crack open his head to see what was inside.

"Tell me, if you were a spy, what would you do if you were watching trains and railway tracks?"

“If it were me… I might… Oh, I see!” Wang Haiyang finally realized what he meant, “Blow up the tracks, sabotage train transport…”

Jiang Sen covered his mouth with his hand, looked him over, and only let go when no one was around.

"There's still help!"

Jiang Sen felt that with further training, the boy was still teachable.

The two stopped talking and quickened their pace, eventually even jogging.

Once on the main road, they saw red flags planted on both sides, and the educated youth were waving shovels and brooms, working enthusiastically.

Every now and then, a former educated youth would raise their arms and shout a slogan to cheer everyone on.

There are also some people who look completely unfamiliar.

They should be educated youth from Gangzi Village, Fourth Brigade.

In the canteen, Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang found Luo Yongcai, who was slaughtering pigs with the chef.

"Didn't you go back? Why are you back again?"

"Captain, I need to talk to you about something!" Jiang Sen pointed outside.

Luo Yong washed his hands, left the task of dividing the pork to the cook, and left the canteen.

"Captain, we've discovered someone making contact with Lu Xiu!" Jiang Sen said immediately.

Luo Yongcai paused for a moment, looked around, and then pushed the man, saying, "Come on, let's go to the office!"

He entered the office, closed the door, and turned to look at Jiang Sen. "Speak!"

Jiang Sen then recounted how he had noticed something was wrong with Xiao Ma when he was on the mountain, and how, after Xiao Ma arrived at the Fourth Brigade, he had Wei San keep an eye on him and discovered that Xiao Ma had met with Lu Xiu in private.

"Indeed!" After hearing this, Luo Yong paced back and forth a few steps, thought for a moment, and said, "You're right. It's impossible to survive three days and two nights in the wild without getting frostbite. It's indeed very suspicious. I'll report this to the farm manager. Also, as always, you must not alert them."

The three of them whispered in the office for a while before Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang left.

The two returned to the educated youth settlement without a word, carried their baskets on their backs, and went to the back of the settlement.

Jiang Sen was incredibly lucky; he found a patch of wild yams under the snow next to a depression.

"How come we've never found this before?" Jiang Sen said. "Dig more of it, it's a good thing."

"Can it be sold for money?"

"Are you obsessed with money? This area is barely enough for us to eat. We don't know where else to look."

Wang Haiyang was quite disappointed.

As dusk fell, the two returned carrying two full baskets of wild yams.

As expected, it shocked everyone once again.

Jiang Sen said to Hu Zhiqing, "It's a huge area. Let's get more people to dig it up tomorrow! The two of us are too slow."

With only three days left until National Day, the main road leading to the farm headquarters was finally opened to traffic.

The educated youth gathered near the Third Brigade.

The division's newsletter published six articles as a gift to the National Day.

Two of the articles were written by the Fourth Brigade; one was written by Hu Zhiqing, and the other by Dashanzi.

Each person was awarded a red envelope with the words "1977 National Day Essay Contest" printed on it, with the word "Award" in the center.

There was also a towel and a pen.

On National Day, the educated youth settlement and the village were decorated with national and red flags, and loudspeakers played rousing revolutionary songs.

Everywhere was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang arrived at the farm headquarters again and followed the tractor from the communications room to the farm headquarters.

They left Luo Yong with two bear paws, the lower limbs, and a wolf skin.

The rest were all taken to the farm headquarters.

Jiang Sen felt that there were still some restrictions here, and it was very difficult to go into the mountains.

Not only was the snow thick, but it was also a long way to get to the top of the mountain.

Unlike in the forest farm, where you can easily gather anything you want right outside the door, this place is much more convenient.

The key is that Yingzi lives in the mountains.

Jiang Sen thinks of her every day, hoping that time will pass quickly and winter will end soon.

But after all this trouble, National Day has finally arrived.

All told, he had only been in Beidahuang for three months.

When they arrived at the farm headquarters, Li Chaoyang was stunned by what the two men had brought.

"You two are amazing! You managed to get all this stuff over there!"

"It's a pity the bear skin is riddled with holes from the wolves," Wang Haiyang said. "Otherwise, I would have given it to Uncle Luo, and it would have made my old man furious!"

Li Chaoyang laughed heartily, "Then why doesn't he pull out his gun and snatch it back?"

Wang Haiyang had a sour face, but he was smiling.

But it's obvious to everyone that he still cares a lot about his father.

Where are these wolf pelts?

Five wolf pelts, all intact.

"We discussed it and decided to leave one for Uncle Li to make a mattress, or even boots, and give the rest to the educated youth to exchange for some things to take back!" Wang Haiyang said nonchalantly.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang left two bear legs for Li Chaoyang, took the rest of the items to the post office and mailed them, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When Sister Mao saw the fine wolf pelt, her mouth was practically crooked with a smile.

"This thing is great! It's getting colder and colder, and with a wolfskin rug, you'll stay warm even without a heated kang! Tell me, what do you want to exchange it for? I'll give you a better price!"

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang took out the list that Hu Zhiqing had given them before they came and handed it to Sister Ma.

After looking at it for a while, Sister Ma said, "Oh! Is that all? You've been ripped off!"

Jiang Sen laughed and said, "We won't lose out. We'll give the last wolf pelt to Sister Ma. Just don't let anyone know about it later."

"That's so kind of you!" Mrs. Ma was tempted, but didn't want to take advantage of the two young men, so she said, "How about this, I happen to have four extra cans of food here, you can have them all! Even so, it's still considered taking advantage of you. I'll go check again..."

"Sister-in-law Ma!" Jiang Sen called out to her, "No need."

"That won't work!"

"Or, why don't you fill my wine flask with some strong liquor?"
