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

"Chang Kun?"

When Cheng Min saw Chang Kun, her face lit up with surprise and joy. She ran up to him and exclaimed, "You're back!"

Chang Kun nodded. "I came back yesterday. There's nothing to do at the institute today, so I came to see you."

He reached into the sack on the back of the bicycle and pulled out something he had prepared beforehand.

"Hey, this Hero fountain pen is for you. May the fountain pen carry on the torch and may your career in education flourish."

"Here are two jin of longan and two jin of preserved plums, which I brought back from my trip. I'm giving them to you to try."

Cheng Min blushed, lowered her head to accept the pen and fruit, and softly said "thank you".

Suddenly, a burst of laughter and chatter came from the classroom.

"Oh! Teacher Cheng is blushing..."

Two elementary school students ran up to Cheng Min, pretending to turn around casually, and whispered to each other, "Teacher Cheng is really blushing..."

Cheng Min gritted her teeth: "Wang Xiaoyu! Hu Xiaolan! What are you two saying! You want to stay and do your homework, huh?!"

The two elementary school students weren't afraid at all. They laughed and circled around Chang Kun, nodding to each other.

"This one's not bad, it looks decent enough..."

"They even gave the teacher a fountain pen; their relationship must be quite special..."

"Get lost! You're asking for it, aren't you!" Cheng Min blushed as she was told this. She chased after the two elementary school students, grabbed their ears, and only let go when they begged for mercy.

"Heh, these students aren't afraid of you at all?" Chang Kun thought of the future, when elementary school students would run away from their teachers like mice running away from a cat.

"Other students aren't like that. These two mischievous kids are my neighbors next door. They've been following me around since they were little and aren't afraid of me at all."

"I'll teach you a trick: give them homework every day, and in just a few days they'll be afraid of you..."

Cheng Min smiled and said, "I'll assign homework to Xiao Qing and the others later, and see if they're afraid of me."

"Speaking of which, I went home yesterday and saw that they had learned quite a few characters. It's all thanks to you, isn't it?"

"They're smart, I only taught them a little bit and they learned it... Let's go out, I don't have any classes today."

There were many students and teachers around, all watching Chang Kun and Cheng Min from a distance, which made her feel very embarrassed.

"it is good."

Cheng Min lowered her head, her face flushed, and rode her bike ahead to lead the way.

After returning home and putting down the longan and preserved plums that Chang Kun had given her, Cheng Min thought for a moment and then took Chang Kun to Beihai Park.

At this time, Beihai Park was unattended and no one was collecting entrance fees; it was just surrounded by some wooden fences.

Looking inside, Cheng Min saw couples strolling around. Seeing this, Cheng Min blushed even more, rubbing her hands together, too nervous to speak.

Does this count as a date?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Chang Kun.

There was a popsicle vendor at the park entrance, with "Arctic Ocean Popsicle" written on the wooden box. Chang Kun bought two for five cents and handed them to Cheng Min.

"Here you go, it's so hot today, your face is all red from the heat..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Min wished she could disappear into the ground. She turned her face away and gently licked her popsicle.

The two strolled along the lakeside. A gentle breeze blew, and the blush on Cheng Min's face slowly faded. She stared straight ahead, not daring to turn her head to look at Chang Kun.

Suddenly, a cheer erupted.

"Good job, Lao Zhang!"

"That was amazing today!"

Chang Kun turned his head and saw that there were people fishing by the lake. An old man had caught a big fish weighing two or three pounds and was being admired by his fellow anglers.

"Old Li, how about I trade this fish for your pearwood harmonica?"

"Pah! Dream on. I bought this harmonica for my granddaughter. I'd have to trade it for at least a ten-pound fish." Old Li took out his harmonica and showed it off to his fishing buddies.

"I asked a comrade to bring this from the south; this item is a rare find in the capital!"

"You bought it for your granddaughter, and you dare to trade it for fish?" The surrounding old fishermen gathered around to look at the harmonica.

"A ten-pound fish like that hasn't been seen in Beihai for years. With your skill level, you'd be lucky to catch a two- or three-pound fish!"

"Damn it, who do they think they are! Let's catch a big one and show them!" The old fishermen shouted and dispersed.

No matter what, don't say the fishermen are no good. Old Li's sarcasm is written all over their faces. They're determined to prove him wrong.

Chang Kun shook his head as he watched the old fishermen making a racket.

These days, whether you're a farmer from outside the city or a worker in the city, life is pretty tough. People who are starving are already looking for food and won't be chatting idly here.

These old fishermen are different. People who can chat and fish here are like the biker gangs of later generations, with retirement pensions that they can't spend indefinitely.

Just as I was about to continue my walk, I turned around and saw Cheng Min staring intently at the harmonica in the old man's hand, her eyes seemingly shining.

"What? You like it?" Chang Kun asked.

Cheng Min gently shook her head, her eyes slightly red.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Chang Kun sensed that Cheng Min was in a bad mood.

Cheng Min sat down on a nearby rock, seemingly a little lost. After a while, she slowly began to speak.

"When I was little, my mother taught me to play the harmonica, and this is the kind of harmonica I use. Seeing it reminds me of those times."

"Back then, my mother taught me, and I taught my younger brother to play the harmonica. Those days feel like they were just yesterday..."

"Later...later, during that time of war and chaos, my father, mother, and brother were separated from us. We searched everywhere for many years but couldn't find them..."

At this point, Cheng Min took a deep breath, pulling herself out of her grief.

She turned to Chang Kun with a smile, "I'm sorry, Chang Kun. I was having a good time, but then I started rambling on about these sad things... It's all in the past now. I was just feeling sentimental."

Chang Kun felt a pang of sympathy seeing Cheng Min's forced smile, so he reached out and took her hand, squeezing it firmly.

"It's alright. People should always look forward. They say good people are always protected by heaven. Auntie and little brother will definitely be fine."

"Yes, I often dream about my mother and younger brother. They're both doing well." Cheng Min naturally took Chang Kun's hand in return. "Thank you, Chang Kun."

Chang Kun didn't ask Cheng Min about her sad past. He figured that after so many years, Cheng Rongjiang's family had already searched everywhere they could.

Hopefully, the system will reward some powerful skills later, which will help Cheng Min find her mother and younger brother.

Seeing that Cheng Min's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the harmonica, clearly indicating her genuine liking for it, Chang Kun released Cheng Min's hand and stood up.

"I'll go and win the harmonica."

"Chang Kun, what are you doing? We don't even have a fishing hook!"

Chang Kun smiled, said nothing, and reached out to take off his jacket.

"Oh!" Cheng Min blushed and covered her eyes, unable to look.

I think I caught a glimpse of eight-pack abs just now...

With his trousers rolled up to his knees, Chang Kun jumped into the lake with a "plop."

"Oh no! Chang Kun!" Cheng Min cried out, forgetting to cover her eyes, "Come back right now!"

Chang Kun swam a few strokes on his back and shouted to the old man holding the harmonica, "Hold on to the harmonica, I'll catch ten pounds of fish to exchange for it."

"Hey, the big fish are all at the bottom of the water, you can't even catch them with a fishing rod, and you think you can catch them with your bare hands? You're dreaming!"

Seeing that there was something interesting to watch, several old men gathered around.

"This young man seems to have good swimming skills, but unfortunately he doesn't understand the nature of fish."

"Maybe this kid is just making an excuse to go for a swim to cool off..."

The old man holding the harmonica rolled his eyes and said softly, "I said only catching a ten-pound fish counts; fish that are caught in the water don't..."

Surrounding anglers: ...

When it comes to being cunning, no one can compare to you, Old Li!

Young man, you're already having second thoughts before you've even caught a fish...

As Cheng Min watched Chang Kun swim further and further away, she became so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
