Chapter 1: 1980s: A Blank Year



Wan Feng felt like he was dreaming.

His body floated in the air like the wind, surrounded by clouds and mist, and he could not see anything clearly. The whole world was dead silent, without a sound.

This feeling of being stuck in the middle of nowhere made him feel very uneasy, and he tried hard to find a place to rest in the clouds.

Suddenly, a humming sound came from below.

The sound was like a sharp sword that tore through the clouds around him, allowing him to see the scene below.

Below was a field set against the backdrop of white snow, and a train was speeding across the field, emitting white smoke.

Wan Feng's body fell rapidly from the air without his control, and plunged towards the carriage like a meteor...

Wan Feng opened his eyes with a cry and looked around in horror.

He broke out in a cold sweat and his heart was beating wildly.

What caught my eye was the dimly lit carriage and the countless sleepy people inside, and then I heard a monotonous sound of "kua kua kua".

After about a minute of clarity, he realized that he was on a train.

Looking around, I saw my mother sleeping on the back of a chair with my sister in her arms. My sister, with her head wrapped in a headscarf, was sleeping like a cat in her mother's arms.

To his left was his younger brother, who was also sleeping with his head resting on the corner of the seat and the wall of the carriage, with saliva about half a foot long dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Wan Feng was dumbfounded when he saw his relatives. Why were his younger brother and sister so young while his mother was so young?

And where is this? Who am I? Where am I?

He remembered that he took a bus to the provincial capital of Yang to visit his son. It was a bus, not a train!

His son is about to graduate from university and is doing an internship in Chengyang City, a provincial capital. He has rented a house with his girlfriend, and he is worried about her and wants to go and check on her.

He left home and bought a ticket to the provincial capital. He recalled that the bus had an accident on the highway and collided with a truck, then rushed through the highway guardrail and fell into the ditch. He seemed to have fainted at the time.

But now...

"Feng'er, are you awake?"

His mother was about thirty years old now, and she was looking at him tenderly.

"Mom! Where are we going?"

"Hey kid, you're confused after sleeping. Aren't we going to your grandma's house?"

Wan Feng scratched his head and finally remembered.

It was the winter of 1979, or to be exact, the night of the 29th day of the 12th lunar month of 1979. They were on a train from Longjiang Province to Beiliao Province.

He was thirteen years old that year.

Was I reborn? Back to 1979?

When Wan Feng had nothing to do, he also read some stories about time travel and rebirth on the Internet. He was just watching for fun. He didn't believe that there was such a thing as time travel and rebirth in the world.

But he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him!

Wan Feng's father was one of the hundreds of thousands of demobilized soldiers who reclaimed the Great Northern Wilderness. His father and mother were both from Beiliao Province. When his father was demobilized, his mother followed him to the then Great Northern Wilderness.

After more than ten minutes of recollection, Wan Feng finally confirmed that he was truly reborn and returned to the age of thirteen.

Faced with the issue of rebirth, Wan Feng was hesitant at first and didn't know how to deal with his current situation.

In his previous life, Wan Feng lived a mediocre and cowardly life. He had a lower-middle income in the countryside and lived an ordinary life.

To be honest, that's not the life Wan Feng wants.

However, due to his limited abilities, he couldn't make any waves and could only live in a daze.

I thought this was the end of my life, but such a ridiculous thing as rebirth happened.

But this age of rebirth is too painful, too bad! What can he do at the age of thirteen? Even if he was reborn at the age of sixteen or seventeen, it would be fine!

Thinking of this, Wan Feng's heart did not feel relieved but heavy instead.

Wan Feng's grandmother's home is on the coast in the south of Beiliao Province.

The distance between Wu County, Heilongjiang Province, where Wan Feng's family lived, and their destination: a production team called Wahou in Yongshi Commune, Hezhuang City, on the southern coast of Beiliao Province, was 3,500 miles. It would take three nights by train, and they would have to change trains in Harbin City from Harbin to Dawan City, a coastal city in Beiliao Province.

After changing trains and spending another night there, they got off the train at a place called Gaizhou.

There is no train service to Wanfeng's hometown, Hongya County, so they can only get off in Gaizhou, a neighboring county of Hongya County, and then take a bus to Hongya. The distance between Gaizhou and Hongya is 240 miles.

After taking a bus for about four hours, the family of four finally arrived in Hongya County at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

At that time, the township was still called a commune. The Yongshi Commune, where Wan Feng's grandmother lived, was 50 miles away from Hongya County and bordered Gushan Commune. Many years later, the name Yongshi Commune was replaced by another name, Wujia. After a few years, the two communes merged together.

Wan Feng's grandmother's home is at the junction of two communes. In terms of straight-line distance, Gushan is closer to his grandmother's home, so they got off the bus at the Gushan Commune station.

The rest of the way can only be walked on two legs.

They passed through an orchard by the river, walked across the Inna River and passed a production team called Shanhou. After three and three nights of trekking, they finally arrived at their grandmother's home, the Wahou Production Team of Jiangwei Brigade, on the first day of the new year.

The Wahou Production Team was a production team with relatively scattered residents. Along a dirt road, the houses stretched out a line of about two miles from the east end to the ditch.

Wan Feng's grandmother's family lives in the third house from the eastern end. To the east of his grandmother's house, there is a family surnamed Cong and a family surnamed Wang, and behind them is a field.

The east end is the old residential area of ​​the Wahou Production Team. Because it is close to the Inna River and floods in the summer, most of the families who built new houses later moved to the ditch on the west side. Now there are only a dozen households and more than ten children in the east end.
