Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

With Jiang Sen's protection, the prison bully only glared at him fiercely, but never bothered him again.

However, to Jiang Sen's utter surprise, their plan to fight another group of prison bullies was betrayed by this person.

When Jiang Sen came out of the solitary confinement cell, he learned that 983 had been released early because he had received a reduced sentence for reporting a crime.

So when Jiang Sen saw Zhang Zhiqiang waving and smiling at him, the thought of asking him to come over was only fleeting. He smiled back, nodded, and sat down.

Behind him, Zhang Zhiqiang's eyes revealed obvious disappointment. He slowly wiped the smile from his face and lowered his head.

A short while later, Li Chaoyang returned, followed by two people. Several large trucks also drove out of the freight yard gate and parked next to the group of educated youth.

Everyone stood up, waiting for Li Chaoyang to speak.

Li Chaoyang glanced at the crowd, whispered a few words to the people behind him, then turned back and said loudly, "Follow the previous order, the first row gets on the first bus, the second row gets on the second bus, and so on. Don't get on the wrong bus, and make sure you take all your belongings!"

Upon hearing the instructions, the previously arranged queue began to fall into disarray.

Jiang Sen held Wang Jianguo back, because their car was behind them, and once the first car left, the others would arrive one after another.

However, many people are unaware of this and frantically run backwards.

Li Chaoyang frowned and roared, "Why are you running?" Seeing the people stop in their tracks in a daze, he continued, "Wait where you are!"

Those who ran out didn't dare to say much. They were intimidated by Li Chaoyang's appearance and slowly returned to their original spot.

The twenty people who boarded in the first row were in no better shape; they were crammed together, all wanting to be the first to climb on.

As a result, no one went up.

Li Chaoyang frowned again. "Let two people go up first to take the luggage, then pull the people up!"

That shout made things a little better.

Wang Jianguo secretly asked Jiang Sen, "Why are we squeezing in? The truck is so big, there's plenty of room for twenty people."

Jiang Sen's brows relaxed slightly, and he smiled, "They probably thought it would be like taking a train, where if you get on late you won't get a seat!"

"But... there are no seats in the truck!"

The Jiefang brand truck can be covered with a tarpaulin.

This vehicle is basically used for transporting people and goods. Only when you reach a certain position might you get a jeep.

There is one at the site.

Jiang Sen said to Wang Jianguo, "I'll go up first, then I'll pull you up."

Wang Jianguo nodded.

The people who go up first will put their luggage inside, and then pull other people up.

Once people go up, they'll go find their luggage and sit wherever their luggage is; they don't really move around much.

After all, the cargo bed in the back of the truck is all the same.

One car after another drove away, and finally it was Jiang Sen's turn.

Jiang Sen threw his luggage up first, then, gripping the edge of the vehicle and stepping on the crossbar, he flipped himself up with a burst of strength. He turned to Wang Jianguo and held out his hand, "Give me your luggage!"

After he and another male educated youth put their luggage inside, they came back to pull people up.

After finding his and Jiang Sen's luggage, Wang Jianguo discovered it was located closest to the driver's cab.

He then smiled. This position, close to the driver's seat, was relatively stable. The closer to the rear of the vehicle, the bumpier it was. After more than ten hours, no one could stand it.

After everyone had sat down, before Jiang Sen could speak to Wang Jianguo, he heard a woman's voice, "Comrade, can I switch with you?"

Jiang Sen looked up and saw a familiar face again. Why hadn't he seen it along the way?

The female educated youth who was speaking was eighteen or nineteen years old. She had a bob haircut and big, pretty eyes, but her mouth was also quite large, which somewhat overshadowed her beauty.

Her name is Xu Lanlan. She is from the South. In her previous life, she was assigned to the same farm as Jiang Sen. She is a very manipulative and scheming person.

She's very eloquent and always has slogans on her lips. Anyone who offends her can be easily labeled with a stigma.

"How can your ideological awareness improve if you don't work hard?"

"I'm saying this for your own good. You don't want to hold everyone back, do you?"

"This is a problem with your mindset. If you don't correct it, it could easily lead to serious issues!"

Blah blah blah, thoughts, thoughts! Problems, problems!

For a moment, all Jiang Sen could see seemed to be two mouths moving up and down.

He had offended her, and then she made everyone think that Jiang Sen had some kind of mental problem.

Moreover, she also brought up the fact that she had sent Huang Liping the mountain products she had painstakingly saved up.

He said he found a wife and had children without going to the countryside because he didn't prioritize the development of the motherland.

Everyone should put the greater good before their own family, and not always think about how to benefit their own family, since there are still people starving on the farm.

"Comrade, could the female comrade sit inside?" someone spoke up for her.

Jiang Sen snapped out of his daze and glanced inside the car. In the dim light, he could only see a female educated youth sitting opposite them.

Jiang Sen gestured with his chin and said, "It's better for women to sit together. Even if I give you my seat, it won't look good if people talk about it, as you'll be surrounded by men. It's better to keep some distance."

Xu Lanlan felt a little embarrassed and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

She nodded, switched places with the male educated youth next to her, and sat next to the female educated youth.

The reason they approached Jiang Sen was because he and Wang Jianguo had a large stack of sacks left on the truck behind them, and sitting on those sacks would save them from sitting directly on the truck bed.

This truck may have been hauling coal before; there's a thin layer of black coal ash on it, and everyone has some on them, more or less.

Silence returned to the truck bed, but with the truck bobbing and swaying, it was impossible to sleep.

Wang Jianguo leaned closer to Jiang Sen and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Why don't you change? It's more suitable for a girl to sit here."

Jiang Sen sighed and replied in a voice only the two of them could hear, "In places like this, you can only look after yourself, you can't be overly kind! You gave in this time, but what about next time?"

Wang Jianguo remained silent, and Jiang Sen knew that he definitely disapproved.

There's no way around it; I won't repeat the mistakes I made in my past life.

Moreover, the goodness that remained from the previous life will not easily reappear in this life.

Wang Jianguo might be an exception, because Jiang Sen knew that his parents might be able to get back to their original positions in a few years.

Back then, almost all university teachers were sent to the countryside, and the college entrance examination was to be reinstated at the end of the year. There was a severe shortage of university teachers!

However, the news didn't reach them until 79.

According to Jiang Sen's guess, Wang Jianguo should take the college entrance examination, and he will definitely pass it.

Judging from his demeanor, he's the kind of student who's good.

Not like him!

Jiang Sen chuckled to himself. In his previous life, when he was in high school, all his attention was on fighting with people, taking walks with Huang Liping, and watching movies; he never focused on studying.

No matter how bumpy the truck was, everyone couldn't withstand the fatigue of the long journey and fell asleep.

When Jiang Sen opened his eyes again, he found that it was already daylight outside.

Green hills and clear waters create a vibrant scene.

He remembered the road, and he also remembered the last plain after entering the mountains.

The road was lined with corn and sorghum, and it was the location of a production team under another farm. It seemed that three trucks had separated from them and were heading towards that farm.

The term "company" originated from the fact that when the Great Northern Wilderness was first established, it was composed entirely of demobilized soldiers, so it was called "regimental headquarters" or "company" according to military terminology.

Later, they were gradually called farm headquarters, production brigades, and combined with the local villages, as well as communes and production brigades.

Driving further ahead, they entered the mountains, the dense primeval forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains, where they could only see the tip of the iceberg.

There are also railway tracks along the road used by forest farms to transport timber.

Suddenly, the car came to a stop with a "whoosh," followed by the sound of a car door opening and closing.

Li Chaoyang opened the rear partition from below, "Take a break! Men, go to the left side of the car; women, go to the right side!"
