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

Shi Yulong personally came to announce the award to show the department's importance.

After making the announcement, he left in a hurry. There were still many follow-ups regarding the three enemy agents, and he would be very busy for a while.

Cheng Jie and Chang Dashan still looked incredulous.

"I've been named an outstanding police station chief?! And I even have to give a speech at the commendation ceremony?!"

"I've become an outstanding police officer?"

The two looked at each other, feeling as if they were in a dream. They hadn't really accomplished anything, so how could they have so easily received such a great honor?

People at this stage value material possessions less, but place great importance on honor.

The two of them were so excited that their lips were trembling.

He Gangyi watched from the sidelines, feeling a pang of jealousy. He had heard Cheng Jie recount the entire process of capturing the enemy agent and knew that the two of them had simply benefited from a favorable situation.

He could handle a battle like this!

Pity!

Why don't I have such good luck!

After a moment of excitement, Cheng Jie calmed down and turned to look at Chang Kun.

"Xiao Kun, this is all thanks to you. I'm ashamed to accept this honor!"

Chang Kun waved his hand, smiled, and said politely, "We're family, no need for formalities."

Cheng Jie's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, we're family? Does that mean from Xiao Min's perspective?"

He had heard his younger sister mention Chang Kun's name many times at home, and he knew that this brat had grown up and had her own thoughts.

This is a good opportunity to test the waters and see what Chang Kun is thinking.

Chang Kun was a little confused when he heard this. They were talking about something else, so how did they end up talking about Cheng Min?

Feeling a little embarrassed, he turned his face away and didn't say anything.

Chang Dashan nodded to Cheng Jie.

The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.

Just then, Cheng Rongjiang rode his bicycle into the compound, calling out from afar, "Chang Kun, Xiao Kun, come back to the station, someone's looking for you."

On the way, he asked Cheng Rongjiang who had come to see him, since he didn't know anyone at the Zoological Research Institute.

"Last time you went to the farm, you caught two weasels that big, and you became famous. Now the army has come and specifically asked for you."

Chang Kun frowned. "What do you want me to do?"

"Talented people are sought after everywhere; they'll ask you to hunt for them."

Cheng Rongjiang never expected that just two days after Chang Kun returned from the farm, the military personnel would come knocking on his door to try and take him away.

My own animal research institute is ultimately a small, insignificant operation, far inferior to that of the military.

Now it's up to Chang Kun himself. If he wants to leave, then I have no reason to stop him.

Back at the Zoological Institute, I went to the director's office.

A soldier in military uniform saluted Chang Kun: "Comrade Chang Kun, hello. I am the instructor of Qiang Jinnan's hunting team. I have come to invite you to join the hunting team."

The soldier looked serious. After listening to Qiang Jinnan describe Chang Kun's abilities, he felt that this kind of person was perfect for contributing to the army and hunting more goats to supply the troops' food.

Chang Kun was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously refused.

He had already refused Qiang Nan once before, mainly because his family needed someone to take care of them, and he couldn't stay in the military for a long time.

This is still the same explanation.

The instructor remained silent after hearing this. In his view, there was no room for discussion when it came to contributing to the army and the country.

But when Chang Kun said he needed to take care of his elderly parents and young daughter, she couldn't refuse. Frustrated, she was about to take her leave.

Just then, a big fat man squeezed in from outside the door.

These days, fat people are a rare sight, and this immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Hello, I'm a personnel officer from the Forestry Bureau. May I ask... which one of you is Comrade Chang Kun?"

The Forestry Bureau also came to see Chang Kun?

Director Fang Qingsheng involuntarily looked at Chang Kun, and the military instructor also turned to face Chang Kun.

The fat man approached Chang Kun with a broad smile.

"Hello, Comrade Chang Kun. I have heard that you are an excellent hunter, and I would like to invite you to join us on behalf of the Forestry Bureau. As for salary and benefits, we can discuss them."

After returning to the forestry bureau, the square-faced man who had hunted weasels with Chang Kun praised Chang Kun extensively, saying that his hunting skills were extraordinary.

Upon learning of this, the fat man, who was a personnel officer, rushed to the animal research institute without stopping.

In his view, how could a small department like an animal research institute retain truly talented people?

Only a large organization like the Forestry Bureau can make the best use of resources for true hunters.

The military instructor and director, Fang Qingsheng, were both stunned.

The Forestry Bureau also came to invite Chang Kun to join their company.

This kid is so popular!

Chang Kun shook his head. In his view, there was no difference between the Forestry Bureau and the Zoological Research Institute; both were about going to work and hunting.

The animal research institute is relatively easy to work at, and it's also more convenient to be in the city.

The work of the Forestry Bureau requires walking through various mountains and forests to carry out forest protection work, so they are not always free.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Chang Kun directly refused.

Why make yourself uncomfortable in a new environment when you can relax in the relaxed atmosphere of the animal research institute?

Fang Qingsheng looked smug, feeling that he was doing a pretty good job as a leader, and that neither the military nor the forestry bureau could get rid of Chang Kun.

The instructor and the fat man left with regret. Before leaving, they invited Chang Kun to help if he ever encountered any difficult prey.

In the research institute courtyard, Fang Qingsheng and Cheng Rongjiang looked at Chang Kun with curiosity, wanting to see where this kid's skills came from. All parties thought highly of him.

The Ministry of Public Security, the Forestry Bureau, and the military—all entities that their research institute had to look up to—yet they treated Chang Kun with great courtesy.

After chatting with the two for a while, and finding nothing else to do at the research institute, Chang Kun rode his bicycle home.

Just like in later times, Saturdays are guaranteed to be unavailable, while Sundays are not guaranteed to be a day off. (At this time, it was still a single-day weekend system.)

But Chang Kun is free as long as he doesn't have a mission, and since he completes missions very quickly, he often gets bored.

Back home, I put the hen that the farm had given me into the dilapidated shed.

The little girls stared at the hen with longing, thinking that the hen tasted much better than the goose.

"From now on, when you have nothing to do, go catch bugs under the trees. Hens will lay eggs if they eat them," Chang Kun said, giving the girls something to do.

"I want to eat eggs right now!" Chang Qing said, her mouth watering at the eggs in Chang Kun's hand.

I've been eating a lot of fish and meat lately. The wild eggs my older brother picked up in the mountains last time were very small, and we didn't get enough of them.

"Okay, I'll fry some eggs for you." The farm gave us ten pounds of eggs, we kept eight pounds in our storage space, and only carried two pounds in our hands in case they spoiled in the heat.

A fried egg?

Even though they'd never eaten it, just hearing the name made the little girls' mouths water.

She ran to the stove.

Chang Qing tended the fire, Chang Mu fanned the flames, and little Chang Xiu waited expectantly beside them.

The eldest sister, Changmei, was coaxing Xiaobao on the east kang (heated brick bed) when she also peeked out.

"Sizzle~"

The aroma of fried eggs filled the air, and everyone tilted their heads back, savoring the smell.

The little girls ate the fried eggs with beaming smiles, having never eaten them before.

The eldest sister also praised it highly, but complained that it was too wasteful of oil. She said that if you dared to use oil like that at your husband's house, you would deserve to be scolded.

Seeing that the little girls still wanted to eat, Chang Kun made a deal with them.

"From now on, if you learn five characters every day and Xiuer learns two characters, I will fry eggs for you."

"If you can't do it, then don't even think about eating!"

The little girls spend all their time at home reading comic books, and they never seem to remember the words I teach them. They're truly blessed but don't appreciate it.

Who could afford such conditions? Even if the brigade leader Liu Tiezhu's family had two books, they would lock them in a cabinet like treasures, for fear that the children would tear them.

After a while, if the housing in the city is approved, the little girls can live in the city and go to school.

No matter when, reading and writing will always be useful.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to understand a children's book...
