Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Hei Zi angrily retorted, "Isn't it all because you were greedy for a bargain? You said you'd count you in after the deal was done, and that you'd sleep with that girl?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sen was startled. Could they be talking about Shao Jiajia?

We can't wait any longer; we must get back as soon as possible.

"So, what do you say we do about this?" Jiang Sen stood up, looking them up and down. "Tie you all up and hand you over to the farm management..."

"No! No!" Zhang Shuibing panicked as soon as he heard this, terrified of Li Chaoyang. "Jiang Sen, I beg you, please don't hand us over to the farm headquarters! I was really wrong, it's all his fault!" He pointed at Zhao Erhu, "It's all his fault! He said you came and then set up a fight, not only did he beat them up, but he also delayed their relationship with that female educated youth. It really has nothing to do with me!"

Jiang Sen asked, "Which female educated youth?"

Zhao Erhu's eyes darted around, and he stammered, "We don't know her name, but she looks really attractive, and we want to date her."

Wang Haiyang cursed, "With your attitude, you want to have a girlfriend? I think you're just asking for trouble!"

"You won't talk? Fine!" Jiang Sen nodded. "Feng Chao, get the rope!"

"Hey!" Feng Chao turned around and ran towards the carriage, wondering to himself, "Is there a rope on the carriage?"

Wang Haiyang kicked Zhang Shuibing, "What's wrong with the driver?"

"Nothing much happened, he just went in to pee and we scared him away."

Jiang Sen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; thankfully, the driver wasn't one of their group.

Wang Haiyang pulled Jiang Sen aside, "What should we do? Should we really send him back to the farm headquarters?"

Xiao Ma came over too, "They ran away even though we didn't send them to the farm headquarters? If we let them off easily, they might come back later."

Jiang Sen turned his head and saw that several people were trying to get up and run away. When they realized that he had discovered them, they all tried to put on ingratiating smiles.

Jiang Sen walked over and said, "It's fine if we don't send you to the farm headquarters, but we can't just let it go like this because you've caused us trouble."

“You said, as long as we can do it, we’ll agree to any conditions!” Zhang Shuibing immediately declared.

The others quickly chimed in.

"I'll agree to any conditions."

"Let us go!"

"We really dare not do it again!"

Jiang Sen's smile vanished. "Pay up!"

"what?"

They all wore mournful faces.

Zhang Shuibing said, "Where would we get the money!"

"No... Come on, tie them up and send them to the headquarters!"

"No! No! We'll give it to you!"

"Give it to us! We'll give it to you!"

Zhang Shuibing stood up and yelled at the group, "Hurry up and hand over your money! Hand it all over!"

"We have no money!" Erluzi was almost in tears. He had managed to steal a dollar from his father, and he hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet.

Wang Haiyang shouted, "Send it to the farm headquarters!"

"Rich, rich!"

The one yuan seemed to be the death of Erluzi; he struggled to pry it out, but in the end, Zhang Shuibing went over and pulled it out in one swift motion.

"Just one dollar? Do you have any more? Hand it all over!"

"It's really gone! You can check if you don't believe me!"

Zhang Shuibing indeed went up and touched it all, "Poor bastard!"

He cursed and went to Zhao Erhu's side. Zhao Erhu was almost crying and took out five yuan from his pocket.

"Five yuan? You said you didn't have it yesterday!" Zhang Shuibing glared at Zhao Erhu.

“My dad gave this to me after you left yesterday!” Zhao Erhu actually cried. “He told me to buy sugar and salt.”

Zhang Shuibing handed the dozen or so yuan and a few ounces of grain coupons he had collected to Jiang Sen.

"That's all!" he said, his face contorted with despair.

"And what about you?" Jiang Sen grabbed the money and handed it to Wang Haiyang without even counting it.

Wang Haiyang didn't even look at it before handing it to Feng Chao.

Feng Chao lowered his head and started counting. In the end, he didn't know whether he should keep it for himself or share it with the others later, so he just held it in his hand.

Under Jiang Sen's intense gaze, Zhang Shuibing began to reach into his pocket.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Sen was astonished when he took it out.

There was actually twenty yuan, two blue ten-yuan bills!

"I……"

Before Zhang Shuibing could say anything, Jiang Sen reached out and took the money. Zhang Shuibing opened his mouth, but then shut it.

It hurts!

That was the young widow he was planning to visit in the village.

That young widow wouldn't let him in if he didn't have money.

Jiang Sen looked up at him and said, "Get lost!"

Zhang Shuibing and his companions were somewhat stunned. They were just being let go like that?

Seeing that they were still dawdling, Jiang Sen suddenly stomped his foot and said, "Get out of here!" He then stomped his foot several times, as if he was about to run over and beat them up.

The group scrambled around and ran, falling down without even checking if they had scraped their faces.

"Ha ha……"

Jiang Sen and the others laughed so hard they were doubled over.

"Let's go!" Jiang Sen waved his hand, and the group returned to the carriage.

"Snap!" Little Ma cracked his whip, "Giddy up!"

We won't return the carriage for now. We'll let the team headquarters know later, and if anyone goes to the farm headquarters, we'll send someone to bring it back.

The group was quite happy and divided the money on the carriage.

Although I didn't get much, I was still happy!

Nobody was worried about being reported.

Zhang Shuibing wouldn't dare, and Zhao Erhu and his men would dare even less!

More than three hours later, we finally returned to the Fourth Brigade.

Upon arriving at the team headquarters, Jiang Sen said, "Let's go and report to the captain first!"

Xiao Ma and Feng Chao quickly jumped off the carriage and followed behind Jiang Sen.

Wang Haiyang winked at Jiang Sen and said, "You guys go first, I'll go make a phone call."

Wang Weimin was not there, but the team's accountant was.

"Oh, you've brought them here!" the accountant said with a smile. "The team leader went to the fields. I'll tell him later, and you can take them to the educated youth settlement!"

Jiang Sen took out the document that Li Chaoyang had given him from his bag and handed it over.

"This was brought over by Director Li on our way."

"Just leave it to me!"

"Then let's go!"

"Alright! Come to the team headquarters if you encounter any difficulties later!"

The three of them came out, and Wang Haiyang also came out of the communications room. The older woman smiled and saw them out.

Feng Chao asked, "The Fourth Brigade is great, is everyone's attitude this good?"

Wang Haiyang and Jiang Sen both laughed, saying it depends on who you're with.

"They're great!" Wang Haiyang said. "The people at the team headquarters are all nice. Let's go to the educated youth settlement!"

"Jiang Sen!" someone called from behind.

The group stopped and saw Wang Weimin returning from the other end, wearing rain boots and covered in mud.

"When did you get back?" he asked loudly.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang walked back a few steps and met him. "Captain, we just got back. This is Feng Chao, and this is Xiao Ma! They're both from our Class Two."

"Welcome, welcome! Look at my muddy hands!" Wang Weimin tried to shake hands, but his hands were covered in mud. "Did you come back by horse-drawn carriage?"

He spotted the carriage next to him immediately.

Jiang Sen and the others exchanged quick glances. Jiang Sen said, "The driver was originally going to the livestock farm to deliver a package, but someone from the department came looking for him as soon as he left, saying that something had happened at home. So he asked us to bring the carriage here, saying that whoever goes back later can help him drive it back."

"Oh!" Wang Weimin glanced at the car. "The livestock farm's packages... we can't spare anyone to go either! How about we trouble you to make another trip?"

Jiang Sen was surprised that he was being asked to deliver packages, and said with some difficulty, "Captain, we still need to take them to the educated youth settlement!"

"It's alright! You guys go and deliver the people first, then come back to deliver the packages. Anyway, it's not far from the livestock farm. If you hurry, you can be back in a day."

"Can……"

"Captain!" The accountant came out of the office. "Oh, you guys are still here? These are the documents they brought back. They say it's a winter harvest mobilization meeting, and they want you to attend tomorrow!"

"That's perfect!" Wang Weimin said. "You all hurry up and go to the village to send the people off first. Then go to the livestock farm as soon as you get back. After that, I'll drive the horse-drawn cart to the farm headquarters tonight!"
