Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Luo Jianshe asked, "Good stuff? What is it?"

Jiang Sen laughed, "It's hard to say over the phone. You'll see for yourself when the goods arrive."

"That makes sense. Alright, I'll give you another address, just send it to my home directly!"

Jiang Sen took the address from the counter, wrote it down, and said, "Got it, I'm hanging up now!"

"Hey, don't hang it up yet. Give me a heads-up first: can this thing be exposed to light?"

Jiang Sen was overjoyed. "Sure! But it's best not to. Okay, I'm hanging up now. We'll talk later!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sen filled out a package form at the new address Luo Jianshe had given him.

The address is familiar; it's the Kyoto Military Region compound.

After writing down the postal code, Jiang Sen looked up and asked Bai Wenqu, "Uncle Bai, is there anything we can wrap up?"

Bai Wenqu overheard Jiang Sen's phone call. He glanced at the lunchbox, got up, went into the inner room, and took out a cloth bag and some tattered newspapers.

"Wrap it in newspaper, put it in a bag, and sew the bag shut. The parcel slip... okay, but write the address and stuff on the parcel as well."

More than half an hour has passed since I finished my work.

Xiao Bai changed his clothes and prepared to go to Sankesong.

The car was almost entirely filled with Jiang Sen's things.

Jiang Sen went out with him and watched him stand in front of the tractor cranking the handle.

"Put-put-put..." The tractor started, Xiao Bai threw the crank handle into the truck bed, waved to Jiang Sen, and drove away.

Jiang Sen walked back, thinking to himself, "This should be considered his private car ride!"

Zhang Jianjun and the old cripple were in Li Chaoyang's office. The other two educated youths were nowhere to be found. Fu Chunsheng was waiting for Jiang Sen at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Alright! You're finally done! Come on, let's go for a stroll upstairs!"

The two walked around the area for a while, and when they came out of the woods, they saw two educated youths carrying things onto a horse-drawn carriage in front of the farm's gate.

The old cripple stood by and watched.

The two quickly ran over to help.

"Old cripple, are we going back?"

"What's the rush!" the old cripple said. "You finally get to come out for a trip, aren't you going back before you've had your fun?"

"There's nothing fun here," Jiang Sen thought to himself.

He wanted to go back to see Yingzi as soon as possible.

"And what about these things?" Jiang Sen asked.

"The class monitor made us buy them."

"Where's the monitor?"

"They're talking to the farm manager and the team leader in his office!"

It's not appropriate to give the money to Sui Zhongliang right now; let's wait until we're alone.

After deducting the money I earned from giving to others, I still have 1,800 yuan left.

It wasn't all Jiang Sen's own money; he also had to include the money from Class Six, which amounted to at least a thousand yuan.

After all, almost everyone in Class Six was helping him get mountain products.

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone in Class Six drove the horse-drawn carriage back home.

Even after returning to the forest farm, Jiang Sen couldn't find an opportunity to give out the money.

Once we reached the top of the mountain and returned to the camp, the opportunity arrived.

"Squad leader!" Jiang Sen called Sui Zhongliang into the room, took out his accounting notebook, and saw that there was still a thousand yuan left. "This is what our sixth squad earned."

"So much!" Sui Zhongliang hadn't expected that he would have made so much money from his last transaction.

"It's just that bracken and monkey head mushrooms are expensive, otherwise there wouldn't be so many."

"What about you?"

"I've kept what I earned; the rest belongs to Class Six!"

The ledger records everything clearly: how much money was involved in each transaction, when the payment was received, how many people were involved, how much money was involved, and how much money was left.

Sui Zhongliang didn't look at it closely and handed the notebook back to Jiang Sen. "I trust you to keep accounts! I'll keep it then. Next time I go to the farm headquarters, I'll buy everyone a few bottles of good wine."

Seeing that he was happy, Jiang Sen asked, "Squad leader, shall we still go patrol the mountains over there?"

Sui Zhongliang looked at him with a half-smile, "You want to go find that girl who brought the message, don't you?"

"hey-hey!"

"Let me tell you, Oroqen girls, once they've chosen someone, it's for life. If they're betrayed, tsk tsk tsk, they'll just shoot you dead without even listening to your explanations. You'd better think it through!"

“I’ve made up my mind!” Jiang Sen said. “I think she’s the one I’m looking for.”

Sui Zhongliang looked at Jiang Sen for a while before speaking again: "It's not that I disagree, but this matter involves ethnic minorities. You need to submit a report first and see what the higher-ups say."

At this time of year, getting a partner or getting married requires writing applications and reports, which is indeed very troublesome.

But Jiang Sen didn't think so.

"no problem!"

Did the girl agree?

"Uh……"

"What? They didn't agree? Then you can't do anything reckless. If they find out, you'll be in big trouble!"

Jiang Sen scratched his head. "So, squad leader, are we still going to patrol the mountains over there?"

Sui Zhongliang said, "It's impossible to go to only one place. The division headquarters has already handed the border defense over to them after the incident with the Russians. We should avoid going if possible! However..."

Upon hearing just two words, Jiang Sen knew there was a chance.

"But what? Class monitor, tell me quickly!"

Sui Zhongliang laughed heartily, "Look how anxious you are! But we still need to keep an eye on the hunter's hut over there. Once the men sent down to us arrive, we'll split them into several small teams. That place is yours; you get four team members, choose them yourself!"

"Thank you, squad leader! I love you so much!" Jiang Sen excitedly hugged Sui Zhongliang and kissed him, then turned and ran out. "Old cripple, do you know how to tan leather?"

Sui Zhongliang paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, put the money away, and took out a notebook to write it down.

In his excitement, Jiang Sen was only thinking about making the fox pelt into a scarf as soon as possible, so he asked the old cripple a question.

Unexpectedly, the old cripple actually knew how.

He examined the snow-white fox pelt from head to toe, then nodded. "Half a month!"

“Okay!” Jiang Sen said, “I’ll treat you to Moutai later.”

"You've mentioned that bottle of wine several times, but you haven't been able to drink it yet. You just drank it because I tanned the leather for you?"

Jiang Sen chuckled, "Absolutely!"

"Is it intended for that girl?"

"You knew too?" Jiang Sen had forgotten to ask who Yingzi had told the message to back then.

"I waited there for several days. She came out and told me you weren't dead. She said she'd bring you back to me in a few days once you'd recovered," the old cripple said with a smile. "That girl was clearly a good hunter. Her steps were as light as a leopard's. If she hadn't spoken up, I wouldn't have even noticed anyone was there. Impressive!"

The old cripple praised Yingzi as if she were praising Jiang Sen, making him so happy he was practically beside himself.

"However, if you want to win over an Oroqen girl, you'll have to show some real skill!"

Jiang Sen's smile froze. He touched the hunting knife at his waist and asked, "Real skills? What kind of real skills? Does being handsome count?"

"Haha! Alright, go play now!"

Jiang Sen touched his face and left, muttering to himself, "Being handsome is a skill in itself."

After that, no one went on patrol; instead, they stayed at the campsite waiting for the new members.

Sui Zhongliang went down the mountain to the team headquarters, and when he returned the next day, he was followed by five people.

There are now eleven students in Class 6.

The old cripple stayed at the camp, while the rest of the people, Sui Zhongliang with four men and Jiang Sen with four men, split into two teams to patrol the mountain.

Fu Chunsheng followed Jiang Sen, along with the original two educated youths and a newcomer.

The other newcomers were all mentored by Sui Zhongliang.

After resting for two days, we began our mountain patrol.

Jiang Sen led four people back to the pool, following the same route they had taken before.
