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

When the communal dining system was disbanded, the villagers were short of food and meat. Some people even organized hunting teams to go into the mountains with homemade guns and muskets to find meat to eat.

People who have been through the baptism of war are often good marksmen, and the hunting team was initially very confident.

But reality dealt them a heavy blow.

At that time, people were already starving. They would get dizzy and lightheaded from hunger after walking for only a few hours in the mountains and could not last long at all.

Prey living in the mountains are far more cunning than humans.

Once someone gets close, the prey is often startled and runs away before the person even sees it.

After the hunting team went into the mountains three or five times, they only caught a few wild rabbits and pheasants, but didn't see any wild boars or wild sheep.

The hunting party was disheartened—they hadn't caught many prey, and the men were starving.

The hunting team disbanded, leaving only three or five people who loved hunting. They would occasionally go into the mountains together, but they usually caught very little.

When the people resting under the big tree heard about Chang Kun borrowing a gun to go into the mountains, they all burst into laughter.

Waiting to see the joke of the big idiot taking the second idiot into the mountains to hunt wild boar.

This Chang Kun, when he was in the village, just loafed around like a good-for-nothing, and couldn't do any work.

Later, someone in the Chang family had connections and got him a job in the city, which made the villagers extremely envious. He got a guaranteed job and never had to worry about food for the rest of his life.

Later, he was expelled from school and returned to the village, which shocked everyone even more.

If someone like Chang Kun were born in my family, I would be so angry that I would die!

When they heard that he was going into the mountains to hunt wild boar again, they were overjoyed and waiting to see Chang Kun make a fool of himself.

As this place serves as the village's intelligence hub, I imagine the news of Chang Kun's entry into the mountains will spread throughout the village early tomorrow morning.

In rural areas where there are no entertainment options, people rely on gossiping to keep chatting.

……

The Chang family ate a pot of rabbit offal soup with great satisfaction.

If it weren't already dark, Chang Kun would have cooked another squirrel for dinner tonight.

After dinner, Chang Kun carried the little girl Chang Xiu and strolled around the yard.

The little girl nestled in Chang Kun's arms, pinching his earlobe, gritting her teeth and laughing so hard that snot bubbles came out of her nose.

As Chang Kun approached the gate, he saw a dark figure pacing back and forth in front of his courtyard.

"Who is it?" These days, the village is very safe, and there are no petty thefts.

"Brother Kun." It was Zhang Quhun's voice.

Chang Kun was taken aback. Zhang Quhun had brought squirrel meat and soybeans home, and they probably weren't cooked yet. What was he doing at his doorstep?

"Have you eaten?" Chang Kun asked casually.

"Ah, ah..." Zhang Quhun stammered a little. This person didn't hide anything, much less lie.

Chang Kun realized something was wrong and said, "Come in, come in and talk."

Zhang Quhun awkwardly entered the main room of the Chang family home, where Liu Meifen was tidying up the dishes.

"No food at home? No stewed greyhound meat?"

Chang Kun suddenly realized something; in his previous life, he was very clear about Zhang Quhun's family situation.

Zhang Quhun remained silent.

"Mom, there's still some soup in the pot. Why don't you heat up some cornmeal for Cricket?" It was already quite late, and there wasn't time to cook anything else.

"Okay." Liu Meifen looked up and glanced at them, but didn't ask any more questions. They had gained quite a lot today.

"Auntie, no need, I...I'm going out." Zhang Quhun panicked for a moment and tried to walk out.

"Alright, alright."

Chang Kun forcibly pulled Zhang Quhun's arm to keep him there. In this life, with the system at his disposal, taking his buddies out for a decent meal was a piece of cake.

"Mom, Cricket will sleep at our house tonight, on the west kang with me."

Seeing Zhang Quhun like this, Chang Kun decided to let him stay at the house to sleep, otherwise he would have definitely just found a haystack to sleep in for the night.

Liu Meifen nodded. The village is so small, everyone talks about each other, and nothing can be kept secret.

The villagers had long known about Zhang Quhun's father, Zhang Pianxin's, biased treatment of others.

But she never expected that the meat and soybeans that Zhang Quhun brought back himself would not end up in Zhang Quhun's stomach.

Silent all night.

Chang Kun got up around 4 a.m. to get ready. Last night he told his mother that he was going to go to the foot of the mountain to catch wild rabbits very early.

I didn't tell my mother I was going to hunt wild boar in the deep mountains, simply because I didn't want her to worry.

Liu Meifen was already stewing soybeans and cooking corn porridge.

She made sure to cook the corn porridge thick, afraid that her son would get hungry on the way.

Zhang Quhun glanced at the small pile of soybeans on the corn porridge and suddenly felt a little sad. He had never eaten anything this good at home.

After finishing his meal, Chang Kun secretly took the gun, went to the storage shed, found a small hand axe, grabbed two burlap sacks, and went out.

They led Zhang Quhun out of the village and headed into the deep mountains.

At home, Liu Meifen was preparing to skin the squirrel and field mouse that Chang Kun had brought back yesterday.

She wanted her son to take more children to her eldest daughter's in-laws' house. Her eldest daughter had just given birth to a grandson, but she didn't have time to visit him. She also had three little ones at home, and she simply couldn't get away.

"Big sister, you're up so early!" a voice called out from the courtyard.

Liu Meifen peeked out and exclaimed, "Oh, Meilin, what brings you here? How's the house?"

The visitor was Liu Meilin, Liu Meifen's younger brother and Chang Kun's uncle.

"Great! Your team borrowed a car today, so I drove it over early this morning. We can't let it delay our work."

As Liu Meilin spoke, she picked up two small crucian carp in her hand. "I caught them in the river yesterday, let my nephews have a taste."

"Why did you bring anything to my sister's house? Since you're here, take something with you. Come on in."

Liu Meilin chuckled. "Brother-in-law isn't up yet?"

"I'll go wake him up; your nephew was already up and out."

"Xiao Kun? What are you doing out there? I heard he quit his job in the city? What's he up to now?"

Liu Meilin's words came out like a machine gun, her tone sharp and forceful.

Even Liu Meifen's family member, Liu Meilin, heard about Chang Kun's dismissal, and she was furious when she heard the news.

He drove an oxcart in the brigade, so he knew all too well how hard it was to find work in the city. At that time, losing a job was almost like losing a life.

As Chang Kun's maternal uncle, he often took him fishing and shrimp catching when Chang Kun was a child, and the two had a very good relationship.

But as Chang Kun grew up, he became increasingly lazy, refusing to do farm work properly or help with household chores, and increasingly resembling a good-for-nothing.

Liu Meilin stopped paying much attention to her nephew after that.

"What are you standing there for? Come inside, I'll go wake your brother-in-law up. Wait for me to make you something delicious!"

Liu Meifen smiled, not paying attention to her brother's tone towards Chang Kun.

She also knew that her son, Chang Kun, had been quite disrespectful before, even his own uncle disliked him.

"Merlin, come in quickly, I have something good to show you."

Chang Dashan was woken up and heard that his brother-in-law had come. He remembered that his brother-in-law loved to go down to the river to catch fish and up to the mountain to catch rabbits.

"What good stuff is it, brother-in-law? Don't wake the little ones up."
