Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

That day, Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun hunted a wild boar on the mountain and were carrying it down the mountain.

Three men tried to stop him and steal the wild boar meat, but Chang Kun beat them up, dislocating their arm.

So it turns out these three were stealing the wild boar for the wedding banquet!

Chang Kun looked over with a half-smile; this is what they call a coincidence.

Qu Hun also saw it, his expression changed, and he leaned close to Chang Kun's ear and whispered.

"Brother Kun, what's this guy doing here? Could he be a relative of Xiao Cui's?"

He rubbed his hands anxiously, "If Xiao Cui's family had dislocated his arm that day, it wouldn't have looked good for them."

Before Chang Kun could speak, Xiao Cui was already standing at the courtyard gate. She turned around and called out, "Qu Hun, what are you standing there for? Come in quickly."

He glanced at the doorway across the street, then at Chang Kun, "Brother Chang Kun, what's wrong?"

Chang Kun gestured with his chin towards the person opposite him: "Do you know that person?"

Xiao Cui glanced at it and shook her head: "I don't recognize him. He must be the host from the restaurant next door."

She pulled Qu Hun into the courtyard, saying, "Never mind them, my mother has been waiting for ages."

The middle-aged man opposite also saw Chang Kun and Qu Hun. His smile froze for a moment, and his mouth remained open for a long time.

In the end, he simply lowered his head and stepped inside.

Chang Kun, walking behind, couldn't help but smile slightly upon seeing this scene.

He was so arrogant on the mountain a few days ago, but when we ran into him here today, he knew to shrink back and leave.

The "double happiness" character pasted on the door frame of the house next door was still fresh, and the firecracker debris on the ground was just as red as the one in front of Xiao Cui's house.

With two families celebrating their weddings at the same time, creating a chaotic scene, the person in charge of hosting the event is probably too embarrassed to even leave the house.

Xiao Cui had already entered the courtyard, and her voice came from inside: "Mother, Qu Hun has returned."

Chang Kun withdrew his gaze and followed him into the courtyard.

Several square tables were set up in the courtyard, with several plates of cold dishes already on them. Xiao Cui's mother, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and smiled broadly when she saw Chang Kun come in.

"Little Kun is here, please have a seat. Thanks to your wild boar meat, today's feast is truly impressive."

She glanced back at the doorway, her back ramrod straight. "Ya Dan's family across the street is also having a party today. They didn't invite many people, and the food wasn't very good. Our place is much more lively."

Qu Hun stood at the entrance of the main room, unsure of what to do with his hands.

Xiao Cui's father came out of the house, carrying two bowls of tea. He placed them on the octagonal table and said, "Qu Hun, sit down and have some tea."

Qu Hun sat down at the octagonal table, accepted the teacup with both hands, and respectfully greeted, "Uncle."

Xiao Cui's father responded and then glanced at Chang Kun: "Xiao Kun, please sit down too."

Xiao Cui stood to the side, glanced at Qu Hun, then turned to her father and asked, "Dad, is my room ready?"

"It's all packed up, the blankets and quilts are all new." Xiao Cui's father took a sip of tea, then glanced at Qu Hun. "After you've had your tea, go check on her."

Chang Kun held the bowl, sipping it slowly, his eyes scanning the courtyard.

Xiao Cui's yard wasn't big, but it was spotless at this time. There was chopped firewood piled up in the corner, and smoke was billowing from the kitchen chimney.

Xiao Cui's mother brought out a plate of melon seeds from the kitchen and placed it on the table: "Eat some melon seeds, don't just drink tea."

Qu Hun responded, picked up two melon seeds and held them in his hand, not daring to peel them, his back ramrod straight.

Chang Kun, holding a teacup and leaning back in his chair, watched this scene with a smirk in his heart. Qu Hun, who was already honest and simple, was even more reserved at this moment, not knowing where to put his hands.

After finishing her tea, Xiao Cui stood up and said to Qu Hun, "Let's go check out the rooms."

Qu Hun put down his teacup, and the two of them walked towards the west room one after the other.

Chang Kun continued to sit and chat with Xiao Cui's father.

"Xiao Kun, did Qu Hun drink a lot at noon today? Will he be able to handle it tonight?"

Chang Kun smiled and said, "It's alright. After drinking the wine, I also drank two bowls of tea, and the effects of the alcohol have dissipated quite a bit."

"Qu Hun's alcohol tolerance is pretty good to begin with, so he'll be fine as long as you don't force him to drink."

After a while, the two came out of the west room. Xiao Cui Niang peeked out from the kitchen, smiled, and took off her apron and shook it.

"Qu Hun, come with me."

Qu Hun paused for a moment, then asked, "Auntie, where are we going?"

Xiao Cui's mother had already reached the courtyard gate. She turned back and waved to him, saying, "Let's go to the other side and let the neighbors get to know my son-in-law."

Is this a way of showing off the new son-in-law?

Chang Kun was intrigued and got up to go to the courtyard gate to watch the excitement.

Xiao Cui Niang, with Qu Hun by her side, had already arrived at the opposite door and raised her voice to greet them at the entrance.

"Ya Dan's mother, your son-in-law is here too? What a coincidence! My Qu Hun just arrived as well. Come, come, let's get to know each other."

Ya Dan's mother came out of the house carrying a bowl of water, forcing a smile on her face: "It's good that you're here, please sit down."

Behind her stood a young man, dressed in worn-out gray overalls, holding a bowl in his hand. He was short and had hunched shoulders. When he saw Qu Hun standing at the door, he nodded but did not speak.

Xiao Cui Niang sized up the young man, then turned to look at Qu Hun.

"Oh, your child is doing very well. I wonder where they work?"

"My son, Qu Hun, works as a permanent employee in the local security brigade. His salary is 37.5 yuan, and his monthly food ration is 35 jin (12.5 kg), enough for two people."

She patted Qu Hun's arm again, "This kid is honest, he doesn't smoke or drink, and he just loves to work!"

Ya Dan's mother's smile faded slightly, and she turned to her son-in-law, asking, "Son-in-law, will your factory be giving out subsidies next month?"

The young man looked down and muttered, "Still no definite answer."

Xiao Cui Niang smiled broadly and straightened her back.

"A few days ago, my son Qu Hun and his brother hunted a big wild boar in the mountains. It weighed over 200 pounds! There was plenty of meat for dinner tonight, and if there wasn't enough, we'd stew it."

As she spoke, she tugged at Qu Hun's sleeve again, "This child has always been honest. He brought the wild boar meat before even entering the house."

Ya Dan's mother's face darkened. What was this little Cui Niang doing, showing off like this?

They don't even distinguish between two pounds of pork from their own, and they just spout nonsense!

Three people came out of the kitchen across the street; they were the same three who had tried to steal the wild boar on the mountain earlier.

Upon seeing Qu Hun standing at the door, they both slowed their pace by half a beat. They glanced at each other, but neither of them stepped forward. They stood at the kitchen doorway, holding rags in their hands, heads bowed, pretending to wipe their hands.

Qu Hun also saw them, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand: "Oh, you guys are here too, are you here to help?"

The middle-aged man among the three was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly nodded: "Ah, right, right, come and help."

The other two nodded in agreement, their awkward smiles almost bursting off their faces.

Ya Dan's mother looked at the three people, then at Qu Hun: "What, you know each other?"

The middle-aged man quickly waved his hand: "I don't know him, I just happened to run into him on the mountain a few days ago."

After saying that, he lowered his head to wipe his hands and didn't say anything more.

Qu Hun didn't say much, just smiled憨厚ly: "Yeah, I happened to run into you once."

We'll be neighbors from now on, there's no need to make things too awkward.
