Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

"Comrade Yingzi, you may not be familiar with some of our policies. If you and Comrade Jiang Sen are in a free-love relationship, then we support you. However, if you deceive a female comrade with sweet words without the organization's approval, that constitutes a matter of conduct and is a very serious mistake, so..."

"Who do you think you are?" Yingzi slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "I don't understand what you're saying. Tell Jiang Sen to come out. He said he came to deliver an application report, and now he's not coming back. Does he not want to marry me?"

Lin Ying was startled.

She was surrounded by passionate soldiers, and she also saw many uneducated housewives coming to her workplace looking for their husbands, making unreasonable demands and causing trouble.

But she had never seen Yingzi like this before, carrying a gun. It was terrifying!

The Oroqen people are a local ethnic minority who live deep in the mountains year-round.

Since the country began developing the Great Northern Wilderness and the army corps and educated youth came in, it has been repeatedly emphasized that we should maintain good relations with the local people, especially the ethnic minorities.

Respect their customs and traditions, and never violate their taboos.

Yingzi demanded people right away, not letting her finish speaking, and Lin Ying felt a sense of defeat she had never experienced before.

But she's a stubborn person; the more you forbid her from doing something, the more she'll try to do it and do it well.

When Yingzi got angry, she got worked up too.

She raised her voice: "Comrade Yingzi, please have some self-respect. Do you know where you are? This isn't your barbaric, uncivilized village; this is a farm! It's..."

She shut up, and Yingzi pointed her gun at her.

Her eyes were icy cold. "Speak! Did you cause him trouble? I've been listening to you babbling on and on since I came in. If you say another word, I'll kill you..."

In the office, you could hear a pin drop.

Li Chaoyang cautiously stepped forward. "Comrade Yingzi, put the gun down. You can't joke like this!"

Yingzi didn't move, still staring intently at Lin Ying. "Make Jiang Sen come see me! If he doesn't want to marry me, I want to hear it from his own mouth!"

Zhang Jianjun and Sui Zhongliang were also dumbfounded. They dropped their cigarettes on the ground and didn't dare to go forward.

With a "snap," the old cripple lit a cigarette with a match, took a puff, and then limped over to Yingzi's side. He reached out, grabbed the gun, and took it with a slight effort.

"Girl, tell us when you see them!" The old cripple handed the gun to Zhang Jianjun at the door. "No matter what we support, our guns are only aimed at enemies and wild beasts."

Yingzi snorted and sat down. "I want to see Jiang Sen."

She's clinging to that statement and refusing to let go.

Lin Ying's face slowly turned deathly pale, and fear began to creep up from her back.

My legs went weak, and I slumped into the chair.

She felt her heart beating so fast that her whole body was trembling.

How to do?

She looked at Li Chaoyang, who was talking to the old cripple.

"Director Li!" She had an idea and tried to calm herself down. "We came from the division headquarters to investigate Jiang Sen's situation, and yet we've received such a serious threat to our lives. You must take full responsibility!"

Li Chaoyang turned to look at her, and the look in his eyes made Lin Ying's heart skip a beat.

He wouldn't refuse to help me, would he?

"Director Li, I believe you understand the stakes here. I represent the division headquarters, don't you understand?"

Li Chaoyang said, "If you feel unsafe, you can go back."

After saying that, he ignored her and pulled the old cripple out.

Zhang Jianjun and Sui Zhongliang, who were at the door, followed them over. The group whispered among themselves, and it was unclear what they were saying.

Lin Ying wanted to go out and leave the office, but Yingzi was sitting in the way she had to go.

Yingzi turned her head to look outside the door, then suddenly turned back.

Lin Ying had just remembered, but when she saw her looking over, she quickly sat down and gave an awkward smile.

"Your laughter won't help!" Yingzi said. "Don't doubt the words of us Oroqen women! If we don't see anyone today, nobody will eat or sleep!"

Jiang Sen, who was behind, waited anxiously for someone to take him away after hearing Yingzi's shout.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came.

He became even more anxious.

He clung to the window bars and shouted outside, "Hey! Anyone there? I need to pee! I have diarrhea!"

He called out for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.

Jiang Sen spun around a few times, his eyes finally settling on the chair, then slowly looking up at the door.

He picked up a stool, raised it, and smashed it against the door.

Almost simultaneously, the old cripple appeared outside the window.

Jiang Sen quickly pulled back, almost straining his back.

"Old cripple? Old cripple! Where's Yingzi? Are you all alright? Tell her I'm fine, nothing's wrong! See, I'm perfectly fine! Don't let her do anything foolish!"

The old cripple looked at him, lit a cigarette, and smoked it slowly.

"Old cripple..."

Jiang Sen suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The old cripple's reaction is strange!

Did they arrest Yingzi because she acted recklessly?

Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!

Jiang Sen swung the chair around again, and just as the whole country was overhead, Sui Zhongliang appeared again.

Jiang Sen resigned himself to his fate, put down his chair, and swayed his back. "Squad leader, tell me! I can accept any bad news, but I'm begging you, can you help Yingzi? Please don't let her suffer!"

"Hehehe..."

Seeing Jiang Sen's dejected appearance, Sui Zhongliang and the old cripple laughed without restraint.

Jiang Sen blinked, then suddenly stood up. "You... squad leader, old cripple, you've gone astray!"

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore!" Sui Zhongliang said. "Yingzi, don't worry. At first, I thought this girl was pretty reckless, but now I see she's incredibly shrewd and won't suffer any losses. The division headquarters is in a bind now. Just wait and see, they might release you in a little while."

Jiang Sen chuckled, "Look at you, the class monitor is the class monitor, he speaks differently."

The old cripple snorted, "Don't be too happy yet, kid. That letter of complaint is troublesome. You probably won't be able to keep that money. Otherwise, even if Yingzi comes and releases you temporarily, you still need to make things clear about the money-making matter."

Jiang Sen had figured it out in the past few days.

Money is worthless!

If you lose it all, you can earn it back!

"I've mentioned it to the manager too. At worst, we can just hand over my share to the company! As for the other odds and ends, forget about it. They'd be too embarrassed to ask for them back; they can't afford to lose face!"

Sui Zhongliang said, "Actually, it's not that serious yet. Didn't you ask the farm manager to call his friend in Kyoto? He thinks we should have news in the next couple of days."

Jiang Sen said, "I was just in a hurry. It's really nothing. At worst, I can just go live in the mountains with Yingzi. That would be fine too."

Sui Zhongliang was unaware of what had happened in the Oroqen village, but the old cripple did. Hearing Jiang Sen's words, he remained silent.

However, the current situation is just stuck in a rut, and all we can do is wait.

“You stay put, we’re going back,” Sui Zhongliang said. “Don’t worry, Yingzi will be fine.”

Where is she? Can I see her?

"It'll be fine in a minute!"

"Hey! Squad leader? Old cripple?"

"Hey, you guys just left like that?"

"I go……"

Jiang Sen let out a breath and sat down in the chair. It was fine before, but now that he knew Yingzi was here, he didn't want to be locked up here anymore.

I can't take a shower either, because my clothes smell bad.

He looked at the manuscript paper on the table, picked up a pen, and began to write.
