Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

When Jiang Sen returned home, he was silent for a while after hearing that Jiang Dayou and Bai Jing had come during the day.

"Did I do something wrong? I didn't know you can't hit people in Kyoto. He said he'd take me to the police station. Hey, let me ask you, does the police station handle household registrations or fighting?"

This made Jiang Sen laugh.

"It's okay, we'll fight again if you come back. Just leave us alive, not dead."

Yingzi felt relieved. "I knew it! This guy really deserves a beating. He just opens his mouth and keeps talking like he's afraid of everyone."

That night, Jiang Sen didn't bother Yingzi. He watched her go into her room and then strolled around in the yard.

I strolled to the middle of the yard and looked at the moon through the branches of a tree.

He was starting to miss the Great Northern Wilderness.

I miss the mountains, the waters, and the people there.

Although there are all sorts of unexpected problems and hardships there, the people there are genuinely kind, making it easy for people to let their guard down and get along with each other sincerely.

Back in Kyoto, the appearance of Jiang Dayou and Bai Jing served as another reminder to Jiang Sen.

This world is full of deceit and malice.

It's not that there aren't good people, it's just that everyone wants to protect themselves and chooses not to trust anyone.

Jiang Sen stood in the courtyard for a long time.

Suddenly it occurred to me, should I go and see Aunt Zhao, Sun Guohong, Shao Jiajia... but let's skip Shao Jiajia!

That girl wrote me a love letter, but I haven't replied yet.

If I go to see her and she misunderstands again, it will be troublesome.

Yingzi has such a fiery temper, and Shao Jiajia is so petite...

Jiang Sen chuckled and shook his head. "Let's forget about it!"

Today, while I was discussing cooperation with Luo Jianshe, another batch of goods arrived; it was sent by Zhang Jianjun and his team.

Luo Jianshe calculated the price and gave it to Jiang Sen along with the ledger and the money.

Jiang Sen then learned the exact cost of the mountain goods they sent to Kyoto each time.

He felt that the profits he had received were already more than enough.

In reality, he only took one-third of the profits.

Luo Jianshe and Wang Haiyang split the remaining two-thirds.

He exclaimed how low prices are these days!

Dried mushrooms bought for one cent per pound can be resold for one dollar per pound in Kyoto.

After deducting costs, the net profit is six cents.

The others are even more expensive.

Lion's mane mushrooms can sell for 2.5 yuan, and bracken fern is even more expensive, selling for 5 yuan. They are basically all bought up by units like the Kyoto Grand Hotel, military compounds, and government compounds.

The supply and marketing cooperatives bought up nuts and similar items directly.

Jiang Sen was somewhat surprised; there was absolutely no worry about selling them!

He wanted to call the farm, but when he checked the time, it was almost midnight, so he quickly went back to sleep.

The next day, he got up very early.

I have a lot to do today.

Before leaving, Jiang Sen told Yingzi, "I might be back a little late today. Stay home and don't forget your keys when you go out."

"understood!"

"Also, if they come again, don't be shy!"

"Ok!"

"that……"

"Are you going?"

Jiang Sen smiled and left home, got on his bicycle, and went to meet up with Luo Jianshe.

After visiting two or three departments, all the company's certificates and documents were processed.

Having connections makes things much easier.

People from those departments treated Luo Jianshe like a leader, serving him tea and water.

Jiang Sen benefited from this, and people kept calling him Young Master Jiang.

By the time we finished these tasks, it was almost noon.

They first went to the company office location that Luo Jianshe had prepared, and then found a small shop to eat two bowls of noodles with soybean paste.

"Dude, now that we have the company, it's all up to you!"

Luo Jianshe ate his noodles with gusto, finishing the bowl in just two bites.

"Boss, have another bowl!"

Jiang Sen nodded. "I plan to settle the previous accounts with them today. Also, based on the needs here and the seasonality there, I'll prioritize having them collect whatever they need. Mushrooms and such can be collected as usual; they're dried goods, so they'll be fine stored in the warehouse."

Luo Jianshe nodded. "See, I told you you're better suited for business than any of us. I never thought of this before. Whatever you send, I'll sell to them."

Jiang Sen laughed, "I know which things sell best in which season because I've been there. Do you have any news about Wang Haiyang? When is he coming back?"

"Hard to say!" Luo Jianshe wiped his mouth. "Don't even mention you, I don't know which remote mountain village he's hiding in right now."

"So what do you plan to do if you want to find him? And how will you give him the money you've earned?"

“Go to his house! As for money, he left me his savings book, so I can deposit any money I earn into it.”

After they finished eating, they returned to the office, checked the inventory, and then parted ways.

Luo Jianshe is going to visit a friend's house with his parents this afternoon.

After Jiang Sen finished checking the accounts, he picked up the phone and called the farm.

Li Chaoyang was still very happy and talked to him a lot. He also told him that the division headquarters had indeed come several more times.

However, Jiang Sen had already left, and Kyoto had already given instructions, so the division headquarters let the matter drop.

Jiang Sen held back and didn't ask Zhang the accountant about it.

That night, it was fortunate that Accountant Zhang had drunk too much, otherwise Jiang Sen wouldn't have been able to shave his head so easily.

He asked Li Chaoyang to give his regards to the others, and then said, "I'll go to the post office in a bit and send some local specialties from Kyoto. I'll ask the manager to help me sort them out later."

"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony with you, haha..."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sen's smile lingered, and his mood improved considerably. Humming a song, he picked up some local produce and left the company.

He first went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a case of Xifeng liquor, and then bought some local specialties from Beijing before going to the post office.

After filling out the remittance form and parcel form, he sent them out and headed towards the equipment factory compound.

He bought a lot of household necessities like firewood, rice, oil, and salt at the supply and marketing cooperative there, and also bought roast duck at the state-run restaurant. Only then did he carry a large load of things on his back and ride to Aunt Zhao's house.

Today should be a workday, so Jiang Sen used a public phone at the alley entrance to make a call to the neighborhood committee.

"Aunt Zhao!" The phone connected. "This is Jiang Sen. I'm back. Are you at work today?"

"Oh my! My child! When did you get back? I'm at work!"

Jiang Sen couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't this just being foolish?

I called the neighborhood committee, and Aunt Zhao answered. She even asked if I was at work.

“I’m right at the alley entrance. If you can get away, come home. I brought you some things.”

"Okay, okay, I'll head home now."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sen got on his bike and rode inside.

The alley hasn't changed much, except that a few families have built small storage sheds.

Many people who looked familiar were stunned when they saw Jiang Sen, as if they couldn't remember who he was.

By the time he remembered, Jiang Sen was already far away.

"Isn't this Jiang Dayou's son? He's back!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? They've severed ties."

"Oh, right, his name is Jiang something again?"

"Jiang Sen!"

"Yes, yes, Jiang Sen, look at my memory, how come this child is back?"

"Going back to the city? Or maybe you came back after taking the college entrance exam?"

"Tell me, this child is pitiful enough, but he's also really promising. Jiang Dayou is just blinded by greed!"

Jiang Sen encountered Aunt Zhao at the entrance of the alley leading to his former home.

As soon as Aunt Zhao saw him, her eyes reddened, and she grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go.

"You silly child, you're so endearing! Come on, let's go home together! You're already here, why did you buy so much stuff?"
