Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Four carriages stopped in front of them, and the two drivers jumped down with smiles, twisting their whips and sticking them into the carriage shafts.

"Manager! Where is he?"

Li Chaoyang finally smiled and turned to look at the educated youth who were coming out one after another.

"Line up!" he shouted. Seeing that the educated youth were almost all lined up, he said to the person who came, "Go and have a bite to eat first, and then take your food with you!"

"No need, just take a few flatbreads to eat on the way!" the man said before walking inside. Turning back, he called out to another man, "Give the horse some water! I'll go get the food!"

The other group of people greeted Li Chaoyang and then went inside; one of them went to get food, while the other took care of the horse.

All the educated youth stood by and waited. They were a little anxious when they saw this scene, but no one dared to say anything.

Li Chaoyang glanced in their direction, took the folder from Officer Ma's hand, opened it, and whispered a few words.

Officer Ma nodded, walked to the front of the educated youth, and said with a smile, "Quiet down! Listen to me! My surname is Ma, and I am an officer in the farm headquarters. Now, those whose names are called, please stand in front."

After speaking, he looked at everyone, then looked down at the list and began calling out names.

Jiang Sen was in the group, watching the people who went out. They were indeed the same people who had been divided into groups when they took the car earlier.

Those who stayed by the carriage helped pile their luggage onto it. If they were going back, the female educated youth could only sit on the edge of the carriage, while the men had to walk.

That's good enough; even if someone grumbles or complains, no one agrees with them.

Then, in the distance, it seemed that horse-drawn carriages and tractors were coming.

Each brigade only had one vehicle.

It's obviously unrealistic to have all twenty people sitting on it.

Therefore, you can only bring your luggage, and the person follows the vehicle.

The person who went to get food returned, took the list and a stack of letters of introduction from Li Chaoyang, went to the carriage to check the names, and then cracked the whip.

"Whoosh... Snap!"

"gone!"

The educated youth hurried to keep up, glancing back every now and then, and in the blink of an eye, they were walking further and further away.

It was almost nine o'clock when it got dark, and most people had left, leaving only Jiang Sen's team and Xu Lanlan's team.

The faces of the forty people were not good, but Jiang Sen did not care much.

Even if he walks at night, he can find the forest farm.

He had already guessed in his heart that although this team was different from the one in his previous life, their destination was still the same.

Xu Lanlan was looking down, seemingly lost in thought, when she suddenly saw a flashlight beam appear in the distance.

Li Chaoyang glanced in that direction for a while, lit a cigarette, and said, "They actually arrived quite early."

Only the two furthest brigades arrived at this time.

One is a forest farm, and the other is Xiangyang Brigade.

Two places are a little different from the other brigades.

The Xiangyang Brigade and the Forestry Farm were responsible for land reclamation and logging, respectively.

They are all directly managed by the farm management department.

There are two other special places. One is the livestock farm, which is responsible for raising oxen used by various production teams for farming and land reclamation.

Those who were assigned there were basically people with problematic family backgrounds or personal issues.

During the busy farming season, the people from the livestock farm would split up and drive several oxen to various production brigades to help out.

During the off-season, they are responsible for looking after the animals.

The other one is a cowshed.

They exist in every company, holding special individuals.

When the person in the distance came closer, Jiang Sen recognized him as Zhou, the captain of the Xiangyang Brigade.

Captain Zhou was around forty years old, with a stubble beard. As he approached, he smiled and extended his hand.

"Manager, I'm so sorry. I rushed here as fast as I could. I hope I didn't waste any time."

Li Chaoyang laughed and shook hands with him, "You set off before dawn, didn't you?"

"Yes! The two of them walk fast, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have arrived until midnight."

Upon hearing this, the rest of the people turned green.

They walked all day and still said they walked fast!

How far away is that place!

Li Chaoyang said, "Go and get something to eat first. Everyone's here; you can leave once you've finished eating!"

Unsure whether they were going with those two people, the remaining educated youths were all talking in hushed tones.

Wang Jianguo turned to Jiang Sen and asked, "I wonder if we'll go with them? Which brigade are they from? Will it take them more than a day to get here?"

Jiang Sen opened his mouth, paused, and said, "I don't know, it's either this one or the next one. The next one hasn't arrived yet, it might be further away."

The sky gradually darkened, but it wasn't too dark; you could still vaguely see the surrounding environment.

The dark mountains created a sense of oppression, which made the female educated youth somewhat afraid.

"Who's going to the restroom?" someone asked in a low voice.

Someone raised their hand, "Manager, can we go to the restroom?"

Li Chaoyang was about to enter the field when he heard this and stopped in his tracks. "If you're going, hurry up and go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone was seen running towards the dry toilet behind the farm headquarters.

It was one thing for female educated youth to go, but male educated youth also went along.

Li Chaoyang glanced at his watch and said, "Those who are going, hurry up, we'll be leaving soon."

Several more ran in that direction.

Wang Jianguo said, "I want to go too!"

Jiang Sen grinned, "Come with me!"

He didn't go to the other end; the farm's toilet was at the far east end, around a bend, near the mountain, and it was quite a distance to get there.

He led Wang Jianguo to the other end, past the wooden houses, and began to unzip his pants against the wall.

"Huh? Right here?" Wang Jianguo kept craning his neck to look out, afraid that someone might come over.

"It's alright! There are toilets everywhere here. You'll see when we get down there."

When the two returned to the group, the others had not yet returned.

The two stood there and waited for a while before they saw Li Chaoyang accompany Captain Zhou out.

They were chatting and laughing, and seemed to have a very good relationship.

"Manager, I'll take my men and leave now. We should arrive around dusk tomorrow."

"Be careful on the road. These are all educated youth from Kyoto. Their physical fitness is nothing compared to ours who have served in the military."

"If you can't even handle this little bit of hardship, what will you do in the future? I don't support pampered brats in my area."

"If I give the person to you, I won't take care of them anymore."

"You're the farm manager, can't you give me some healthy young men? Look at all these girls, what can they do?"

The two of them didn't lower their voices at all, and the faces of the female educated youth in the group changed. They lowered their heads and talked to the people next to them, and some even wiped away tears.

Almost everyone, except Jiang Sen, looked at Li Chaoyang and the other person with an indescribable panic in their eyes.

They walked to the front of the line, and Li Chaoyang took a stack of letters of introduction from Officer Ma, glanced at them, and handed them to Captain Zhou.

"These people will be yours from now on."

Captain Zhou watched under the light of the farm headquarters gate, and Officer Ma began to call roll.

As soon as someone was called, a young intellectual would walk up with their luggage. Before long, there were more than ten young intellectuals, including several female young intellectuals who were crying.

However, when the twenty people were called, Officer Ma was still calling out names. In the end, only ten people, including Jiang Sen and Wang Jianguo, remained where they were.

Xu Lanlan stood there defiantly, carrying her luggage.

Jiang Sen disliked her, glanced at her, and said to Wang Jianguo, "Just you wait, when she gets to the team, she'll still..."

"Comrade Farm Manager!" Xu Lanlan suddenly exclaimed, "Why do all the other brigades have carts, at least horse-drawn ones, while we have nothing? This is not fair!"

Jiang Sen was stunned when he heard this. Was Xu Lanlan out of her mind?

Trying to do the same thing you did in Kyoto after being sent to the countryside?

She really didn't know what the hardships of coming here meant!

Li Chaoyang, who was speaking softly to Captain Zhou, looked up, met Captain Zhou's gaze, and asked, "What are you trying to say? Fairness? Here, honest work is fair; everyone is treated the same!"

“I’m saying they have horse-drawn carriages and tractors to pick them up, but we don’t! From what you’re saying, I know the place is very far, and we have to carry our luggage. This is not fair to us!”

Li Chaoyang frowned. "What qualifications and rank do you have? You want a car? Don't give me that nonsense. Did you come here to enjoy yourself? If you can do it, stay. If not, I'll buy you a ticket and send you back right now!"
