In the blink of an eye, a bright red sun had risen high in the distant eastern sky, radiating dazzling light. At this moment, Jiang Suisui had already been awakened by the cacophony of voices outside. These sounds intertwined, like a bustling urban symphony—the cheerful footsteps and shouts of children hurrying to school; the conversations of adults rushing to work, and the crisp ringing of bicycle bells.

Jiang Suisui sat quietly on the soft sofa, her gaze somewhat lost as she stared ahead, her thoughts surging like a tidal wave. She began to seriously consider how to proceed with her future. The original owner of this body had successfully completed high school at the end of July this year. Deeply influenced by her mother's scholarly atmosphere, she had not only entered high school early but had also graduated at a young age, not yet 16! However, regrettably, the college entrance examination system had been suspended, and as for the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University? Her mother's special background prevented her from attending. Otherwise, given Jiang Suisui's personality, she would definitely have swallowed her pride and sought help from her father's old comrades-in-arms. After all, they all held high positions in the military; if they were willing to help, getting her into the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University shouldn't be a problem. Alas… this matter had to be put on hold for now!

She could consider going out to look for work and finding a suitable job to settle down temporarily. However, this place was far too close to her home; as the saying goes, two fists can't fight four hands! Now, most people around her already knew that Jiang Suisui was an orphan from a wealthy family, owning a house and money. What happened last night was just the beginning. Jiang Suisui knew very well that if she didn't take some effective measures, many people with ill intentions would soon be stirring up trouble.

In truth, she could have sought help from her father's former comrades-in-arms, but then again, they couldn't be by her side every moment. In such a historical context, the world truly seemed quite unfair to women. The rampant rumors, coupled with the actions of certain individuals, would likely force Jiang Suisui into marriage, even if she didn't want to. Jiang Suisui knew she simply didn't have the time or energy to waste on these trivial matters, so her immediate priority was to get away from this place of trouble as quickly as possible.

But in today's society, a letter of introduction is required to travel anywhere. So, which city should she go to? Besides, as a lone woman with considerable wealth, her safety seemed uncertain no matter where she went. Jiang Suisui didn't want to suffer any hardship; after all, her mysterious space was stockpiled with a large amount of supplies—how could she mistreat herself? After much deliberation, Jiang Suisui finally muttered to herself, "It seems there's only one viable option left—going to the countryside to work!"

Without further ado, Jiang Suisui went inside and changed her clothes. It was a military uniform that her father had taken from his army unit and that her mother had skillfully altered. In this special era, everyone supported the army, and having a set of military green uniforms was something to be envied. This was also why the original owner of this body was soft and cute, but had few close friends.

After washing up, Jiang Suisui tidied her hair, tying it into two small braids. It was the most common style in this special era; in a time when even a single word could lead to criticism, it was best not to be too unconventional. Being ordinary and blending into the crowd was the best choice for Jiang Suisui at this moment. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was delicate and cute, pretty indeed, but just too likable. "No, I can't do this," Jiang Suisui picked up scissors and cut herself bangs, covering her bright, large eyes and long, curved eyelashes. "Hmm, this is much better."

Jiang Suisui stood in front of the mirror, carefully dividing her cascading long hair into two sections and skillfully braiding them into two delicate plaits. She gently shook her head, looked at herself in the mirror, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, she carefully picked up her household registration booklet, securely placed it into her crossbody bag, adjusted the strap length, and strode confidently toward the educated youth office.

Along the way, various eye-catching propaganda slogans were posted on the walls on both sides of the street: "A single spark can start a prairie fire!", "Women hold up half the sky!", "Go to the vast countryside and receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants!"... These slogans were like bright rays of light, illuminating the streets and alleys of the entire city.

Jiang Suisui stared intently at the slogans, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She deeply felt the uniqueness and sense of mission inherent in this era. At this moment, she felt she was about to embark on a journey full of challenges and opportunities.

Most of the pedestrians on the road were dressed in Zhongshan suits or Lenin suits, with gray and black as the main colors, and many of their clothes appeared faded from frequent washing. Looking around, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of haze, presenting a gray and gloomy scene everywhere.

When Jiang Suisui finally arrived at the entrance of the educated youth office, she took a deep breath to calm her excited heart, then walked in with her head held high. Upon entering, she saw a staff member busily organizing documents. Jiang Suisui strode to the desk and said in a clear and loud voice, "A single spark can start a prairie fire! Comrade, hello! I want to sign up to go to the countryside and participate in the construction of our motherland!" Her words were full of passion and determination, moving everyone present.

"All reactionaries are paper tigers!" The educated youth office staff member flipped through the documents in his hand and looked up at Jiang Suisui in front of him, saying, "Comrade, you are the child of a martyr, and the only daughter in your family. According to regulations, you don't have to go to the countryside." His words were tinged with concern and regret.

However, Jiang Suisui straightened her back and responded with a firm gaze: "As the great comrade once said, the countryside is a vast world where much can be accomplished! As the daughter of a martyr, I should set an example, actively respond to the organization's call, and contribute my share to our great socialist construction, even if it is just a little bit of light and heat!" Her voice was clear and loud, full of determination and conviction.

Hearing Jiang Suisui's impassioned words, the educated youth office staff member couldn't help but think to himself, "Looks like another hot-blooded young man, a bit naive..." However, he didn't reveal his thoughts, but instead smiled approvingly and said, "Well done! No wonder you're the child of a martyr, your ideological awareness is so high! Since you've volunteered to respond to the organization's call to go to the countryside as an educated youth, here's a roster. You can look at it yourself and choose where you want to go. But I have to tell you in advance, the specific location in the countryside isn't something you can just choose at will. But since you're the child of a martyr, I'll let you make the decision yourself this time." As he spoke, he handed the thick roster to Jiang Suisui.
