He Tiantian returned to the room and sorted out what had happened. Her eyes fell on the calendar on the wall: July 8, 1970.

That's right, in her previous life, she boarded the educated youth train from Nanshi to Huaishi, Ontario on July 9, 1970.

In her past life, she was so preoccupied with sadness, reluctant to part with her parents, reluctant to leave home, and reluctant to part with Huo Yingjie that she kept crying and was in low spirits. She didn't ask her parents why they had sent her away in such a hurry.

Having been given a second chance at life, she cannot be so weak. She needs to find out exactly what it's all for and be clear about what's going on.

That evening, He Tiantian's father, He Jingyu, rushed in from outside, his face pale, and his usually neat hair was slightly disheveled. Because he had walked so fast, even after arriving home, He Jingyu was still panting heavily.

"Shuping, pack Tiantian's things and send her to the train to Huai City for educated youth tomorrow," He Jingyu said breathlessly, his tense demeanor a far cry from his usual composure.

He Tiantian came out of the house and looked at her father, who was just as young as she remembered him: a square face, black hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and firm skin without wrinkles.

Many people, upon first meeting their father, assume he is a tough soldier, but upon getting to know him, they discover that He Jingyu is a very gentle and humble scholar. He is exceptionally dedicated to research, cultivating numerous superior fruit tree varieties and winning many awards.

"Dad!" He Tiantian rushed forward and hugged her father, whom she hadn't seen for decades, unable to hold back her tears any longer. "Dad, Dad..."

Each cry poured out He Tiantian's longing, grievances, and unyielding regret...

He Jingyu thought his daughter didn't want to leave home. After all, his daughter was only fifteen years old and still a child. Leaving her parents, friends, and familiar places to go to a completely unfamiliar place would frighten anyone and fill them with fear.

"Sweetie, sweetie, don't cry." He Jingyu gently patted his daughter's back, comforting her softly, trying to keep his voice gentle so as not to frighten his timid and obedient daughter.

But He Tiantian's tears flowed down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

"Why did you send the child to be a sent-down youth as soon as you came back?" Wang Shuping was also very puzzled, especially seeing her daughter crying like this, she felt even more heartbroken. "We only have one child in our family, Tiantian. It's fine if she doesn't go! We are both working, can't we support Tiantian alone?"

He Jingyu looked troubled, unsure how to explain. After all, the child was too young, and he didn't want his daughter to leave with a burden on her mind.

After a while, He Tiantian's crying subsided, her eyes were red and swollen, and she kept sobbing.

"Tian Tian, ​​come inside first. I have something to say to your mother." After thinking for a moment, He Jingyu decided not to tell He Tian Tian the reason, but to send her away and explain to his wife. If he couldn't convince his wife, he wouldn't be able to send his daughter away as soon as possible.

"No... I won't leave," He Tiantian said firmly, but with her red nose, red eyes, and slightly pouting lips, she looked like a little princess throwing a tantrum.

"Sweetie..." He Jingyu frowned. Why was his daughter being disobedient today? This was a serious matter, and his daughter couldn't be allowed to act willfully.

“Dad, I’m fifteen years old now. Yesterday you and Mom said I’ve grown up. If I’m grown up, why don’t you let me know what you’re talking about?” He Tiantian said. “Right now, the situation outside is chaotic. The city is even more chaotic than the countryside. You want to send me away to escape the city’s troubles. But don’t you think about it? A girl like me going to the countryside, knowing nothing, how will I survive?”

Wang Shuping and He Jingyu were taken aback by their daughter's words. Their daughter, whom they had so carefully nurtured and pampered, was not as weak as they had imagined.

Wang Shuping thought for a moment and said, "Jingyu, Tiantian has grown up and is our only child. Even if we have to send her away, we should make sure she understands why we are sending her away."

“Yes, Dad, as long as you tell me, I will listen to you and obediently board the educated youth train,” He Tiantian echoed. She was powerless to change the situation, so she wanted to know the truth.

In her previous life, she lived in a daze.

If I cannot know the truth in this life, and cannot change the fate of my parents and myself, I would rather die.

Under the watchful eyes of his wife and daughter, He Jingyu conceded defeat and sighed, "Today I heard from the work team that they want to investigate overseas connections. My father studied abroad back then. Although he has passed away, our family has this connection. I guess it will cause some chaos. I don't know what will happen. That's why I thought of sending my daughter to be an educated youth to avoid this disaster."

He Jingyu was so worried because an old friend of his father's, who had returned from studying abroad with his father and was teaching at a university, was brutally persecuted to death, accused of being a spy sent from overseas. The old professor's family members were also unaccounted for, and were sent to some kind of labor camp.

Although her father had passed away, He Jingyu worried that her family would suffer the same fate. Rather than being passively sent to a labor camp, she decided to find a way out herself. He Jingyu came home late every night to ask a classmate for a spot as an educated youth sent to the countryside.

Wang Shuping covered her mouth, widened her eyes, and filled them with tears, but she held back her tears so as not to frighten He Tiantian.

When He Tiantian heard her father's explanation, she thought of some things she had learned in her previous life, such as overseas connections and leaks of secrets. She was treated as a class enemy and was criticized and struggled against every day. As for how she died, He Tiantian did not know.

“Dad, those things related to our family’s overseas connections, like Grandpa’s old letters, should either be burned or hidden somewhere no one knows. Don’t tell anyone, and whatever you do, don’t let anyone find them. Since we can’t stay in the city, can we go to the countryside together?” He Tiantian said. “Leaving this place of trouble might help us escape.”

He Jingyu patted his daughter's head and said, "It's not that easy. But you go first, and your mother and I will try our best to find you."

He Tiantian understood the reassuring tone in her father's words; she had to leave. However, before leaving, she wanted to tell her parents about her past life so they would be aware of what was going on.

These are her parents. She's not afraid that if they knew the truth, they would see her as a monster. He Tiantian believes in her parents' love and can accept everything that happens to her.

As long as her parents are mentally prepared, they will be ready and will not repeat the mistakes of their past life. He Tiantian has no regrets!

“Dad, you might not believe what I’m about to say, but please believe that your daughter wouldn’t lie,” He Tiantian said. “I was reborn from thirty-five years ago. It was like a dream. In the dream, I also came home on July 8th, 1900, and they told me I was to become an educated youth sent to the countryside. I was terrified and cried constantly until I boarded the train. I couldn’t adapt to rural life and suffered a lot. A man in the village lied to me, and they hid the letters you sent me. It wasn’t until two years later that Liu Lingli, an educated youth from the next block, received a letter from home mentioning you. She told me you had passed away, so I returned to the city. But you… you can only lie quietly in the urn in the funeral home…”

At this point, He Tiantian was already sobbing uncontrollably.
