Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Shao Jiajia's family is well-off; her father is the director of a soy sauce factory, and her mother is a neighborhood committee member.

Originally, she didn't have to go to the countryside, but her mother said that if her own daughter didn't go, no one else would either, and they might be accused of seeking special treatment, so she had no choice but to go with her.

In her past life, she and Jiang Sen were among the group of educated youth sent to the countryside. She never imagined that she would go ahead of time in this life.

Later I heard that she had a terrible experience; she was harmed by the brigade secretary and his son, and then she disappeared.

The brigade secretary told the outside world that she couldn't stand the hardship here and secretly ran away.

People from her family came and talked with the farm for a long time. They released the people and searched for them for a long time. Jiang Sen didn't know how it was finally resolved.

It wasn't until the 1980s that the brigade secretary's daughter-in-law went to the police station to report him for domestic violence, saying that the brigade secretary and his son had raped a female educated youth years ago, accidentally killed her, and buried her on the mountain.

Only then did everyone learn from the newspaper that Shao Jiajia had not disappeared at all, but had already been murdered.

Shao Jiajia wasn't particularly pretty; she had a round face, narrow, almond-shaped eyes that narrowed into slits when she smiled, but she had a cheerful and approachable personality.

She and several other female educated youths seemed to know nothing about the Great Northern Wilderness; all they knew was that it was a place of ice and snow and extremely harsh conditions.

After hearing so much from Feng Chao, they wanted to ask him more questions.

Next to her was a female educated youth wearing a blue work uniform, which was probably altered from her parents' old clothes.

Not particularly good-looking, but very capable, with thick eyebrows and big eyes... well, quite dashing.

She asked, "Feng Zhiqing, you've said so much, you seem to know a lot about the Great Northern Wilderness. Tell us more about it!"

Several people nearby nodded in agreement.

"Yes, tell us more!"

"What else?"

"I heard the toilets there are all outside. What will they do in winter?"

With the addition of women, Feng Chao became even more boastful.

He switched legs and propped himself up, gesturing with his hands.

"Let me tell you, you women are a little better off, but the men have to carry a stick when they go to the toilet."

Jiang Sen hadn't laughed while he was speaking, but upon hearing this, he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing Jiang Sen laugh, Feng Chao turned his head and glanced at him. Jiang Sen gestured to him, "Continue!"

"Tell me quickly! Why did you bring a stick?" Shao Jiajia urged.

Several people nearby also urged them on.

"Oh, tell me quickly!"

"Exactly, stop keeping me in suspense!"

Feng Chao felt a great sense of accomplishment. He straightened his chest, raised his hand, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

He didn't know how to explain this to the female educated youth, and he was afraid that if he told them, they would accuse him of being a pervert.

"Hey, tell me!"

Why did you stop talking?

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Seeing that he had stopped and was not saying anything, the group of people started urging him on again.

Jiang Sen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Feng Chao was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "What are you laughing at!"

Jiang Sen wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed and said to Shao Jiajia and the others, "The winters in the Great Northern Wilderness are so cold that water freezes instantly. Men have to bring a stick when they go to the toilet. Can you guess why? Hahaha..."

Wang Jianguo also laughed, but he wasn't as unrestrained as Jiang Sen. He maintained his usual demeanor and sat very upright.

After a while, Zhang Zhiqiang seemed to understand and also laughed along.

This made the female educated youth even more curious.

Feng Chao's face flushed red with embarrassment and anger, and he glared at Jiang Sen with hostility. "No!"

Seeing his expression, Jiang Sen's face darkened as well. "Then just say it!"

While Shao Jiajia and the others were still pondering what had happened, they suddenly realized what was going on. They all blushed with embarrassment and spat, "Pah! Shameless! Let's go!"

Feng Chao was even more unhappy when all the female educated youth left.

"Why are you interrupting? I was just talking to you, why did you have to say something?"

Jiang Sen completely ignored him. Since he was already taking advantage of him, why should he be polite?

He stood up, turned around and called out to Shao Jiajia and the others, "Hey, those female educated youths, why did you leave? Educated Youth Feng is about to announce the answer, come over and listen more, so we can be prepared when we get there."

These words spurred Feng Chao to his feet, and he tugged at Jiang Sen's clothes in a low voice, "Hey, what are you shouting for? Stop shouting!"

Shao Jiajia and the others had already guessed the answer, and felt ashamed, thinking that Feng Chao was making fun of them and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

But when Jiang Sen shouted that, he wondered if they had misunderstood him and that the answer was not what he thought. So they looked at each other, turned around and walked back.

"What's the answer?" the striking young woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes... no, rather, the dashing and spirited woman, asked. "Tell me quickly!"

Feng Chao was about to pull Jiang Sen down to sit when he saw him return, so he could only awkwardly smile and withdraw his hand. "Um, ah, the answer! The answer is..."

He glared at Jiang Sen with resentment, but Jiang Sen was also looking at him with curiosity.

"I want to know too! Tell me quickly, everyone's waiting!"

He thought to himself, "You got too cocky, didn't you? You can't take it back now."

I only got a beating because you used dirty tricks on me in my past life, so I'll beat you up a few more times in this life. Now I'll let you know who's easy to mess with and who's not.

Feng Chao was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer. His face turned red and he stammered for a long time without being able to give an answer.

Shao Jiajia glanced at Jiang Sen, who winked at her, and she instantly understood what was going on.

She began, "Everyone is going to support the construction in the Great Northern Wilderness. If you know about the situation there, please tell everyone. None of us have been out much, so we don't know what might happen there. Don't you all agree?"

Her actions put Feng Chao in a precarious position, but he couldn't bring himself to accuse Jiang Sen of deliberately targeting him.

Half the educated youth in the carriage turned towards him.

He knew that if he didn't say something soon, he would definitely lose his popularity.

Under everyone's eager gaze, he finally spoke up: "Actually, I don't know either!"

These words caused everyone to look at each other in bewilderment.

The spirited young woman frowned and said, "That's not right. You said so much just now, why are you saying you don't know now?"

It was already dark outside. The train conductor called out from the front of the carriage, "Lights out at 9 p.m., so hurry up if you need to go to the toilet! We'll arrive at Shenyang Station at 8 a.m. tomorrow, so please keep track of the time!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a train of freight cars passed by outside.

"call……"

"brush……"

After the trains passed each other, Feng Chao didn't even have time to speak, but with so many people still watching him, he couldn't take it anymore.

Gritting his teeth, Feng Chao said, "I've never been to the Great Northern Wilderness either; I only heard about it from my neighbors."

"Hey! I thought he actually knew!"

"What is this?! Let's go, let's go!"

Do you need to use the restroom?

"I thought he really knew, but it turns out he was just bragging!"

"Let's go, let's go. What a waste of time, what kind of person is that!"

As the other educated youths around him left, uttering unpleasant words, Feng Chao's face turned ashen, and he stared at the floor with his head drooping.

Jiang Sen glanced at him from the side, his teeth clenched tightly, his cheeks twitching. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "Can't even handle this?"

"Going to the restroom?" Jiang Sen stood up and asked Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo also stood up, "Go!"

The two men slipped between Feng Chao and Zhang Zhiqiang's legs and left.

There was a queue at the restroom, so Jiang Sen pulled the person to the connecting area between the carriages, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and asked, "Want one?"
