Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
"Sister Min, are you praising me? Do you ever use the word brave to praise a woman? I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
What's going on? Are you leaving now? Where's my money?
"Give me money!" Jiang Min shouted and chased after him again.
After the bus arrived at the bus station, Wan Feng checked his ticket and got off.
Xia Qiulong and his Liu He and Lu Wu were standing in the bus station lobby waiting for him.
"Didn't I tell you not to send me off? I'm just going home to take a look. It's not like I won't be coming back."
"You have to send her off, at least send her to the car."
"I've made all the arrangements in Wahou. If you need a watch, you can go to my wife. She also has several tape recorders. If you don't have any, just wait until I get back."
"How long will it take for you to come back?"
Wan Feng calculated: "It will take twenty days to go there and back, no more than twenty-five days."
"Where are you going to board the train?"
There is no train service to Hongya County. If you want to take a train, you must go to Gai County in the north or to Purang County in the west.
Gai County was a very chaotic place in the 1980s, especially in the late 1980s when it was so chaotic that it was almost placed under military control.
"Gai County is too chaotic. I'd better go to Pulan County, take the train to Shenyang, and then drive back."
Liu He immediately ran to the ticket office as quickly as possible and bought a ticket to Pulan for a train at 8:15.
After Wan Feng chatted with Xia Qiulong and others for a few more words, the bus time arrived.
After waving goodbye to Xia Qiulong and others, Wan Feng boarded the bus to Purang County.
