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

After finishing their barbecue, the two strolled around slowly, pushing their cart.

When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was already past 3 p.m.

"Mother, Sister Wang." Pushing open the door, a cool breeze greeted me.

"Auntie," Cheng Min called out. Having visited the supply and marketing cooperative many times, she was no longer as shy.

"Hey, Xiaomin's here." Upon seeing Cheng Min, Liu Meifen ignored her son, quickly stepped out from behind the counter, and took Cheng Min's hand.

"Look how hot Xiaomin is! Don't you know to find a place to avoid the sun?" Seeing Cheng Min sweating, Liu Meifen scolded her son, then quickly went to the counter to get a new towel, poured some water on it, and handed it to Cheng Min.

"Wipe your sweat first, and after you rest for a while, I'll get you an ice pop."

At this time, the girl was really not pretentious at all. She walked with Chang Kun under the sun for so long without uttering a single complaint.

If this were in later generations, without sun-protective clothing, parasols, and sun hats, you wouldn't be able to see any young women under the sun.

Liu Meifen's words of concern made Cheng Min feel a little sad. She had no mother growing up, and her father and older brother were never this attentive.

Seeing that Cheng Min's eyes were a little red, Chang Kun knew what was on her mind and changed the subject, saying, "Mother, Cheng Min bought a lot of shoes at Neiliansheng today."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Min quickly took out the shoes from behind her back, found the ones for Liu Meifen, and handed them over with both hands.

"Auntie, why don't you give it a try?"

"Oh my, I heard things there are really expensive!" Liu Meifen took the shoes, stroking the surface of them with both hands, and looked up to see Cheng Min still taking shoes out.

"These are for Chang Kun, these are for Uncle Chang, and these few pairs are for Sister Chang Mei, and for Xiao Qing and the other girls..."

"This... Xiaomin, you bought way too much! How much did this cost?"

"Auntie, I didn't spend much of my salary when I was working, so I still have quite a bit of money left."

"Hey, my dear girl, you have to live frugally." Liu Meifen, who was used to being thrifty, gave her that advice out of habit.

"Alright, Mother, Xiaomin means well. Try on the shoes quickly," Chang Kun interjected.

That's how the older generation is; regardless of whether they're rich or poor, they always try to live frugally.

I remember news reports from later years about an old woman who had her son use a Mercedes to transport cabbages to the city to sell; and even more outrageous stories, about people keeping scavenged trash in exorbitantly priced villas…

Liu Meifen responded with a smile, thinking, "Xiaomin is such a filial daughter."

He put on Neiliansheng cloth shoes, stomped on the ground a few times, and found them much more comfortable. He continued to praise Cheng Min, making her blush with embarrassment.

"Mom, we also went to Ruifuxiang to buy fabric today. Cheng Min said she can make clothes."

"Huh? Will this work?" Liu Meifen can make clothes herself, but her skill level is only average. She wouldn't dare to use Ruifuxiang fabric.

It is said that Ruifuxiang's fabrics could sell for three times the price of those from the supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Auntie, before I started working, I made a lot of clothes. My skills are no worse than those of a master tailor." Cheng Min showed no modesty in front of Liu Meifen.

"Your craftsmanship is comparable to that of a master craftsman, that's truly remarkable!" Upon hearing this, Wang Cuiqin, who was behind the counter, came out and touched the fabric.

"This material is really good, it feels so soft to the touch, and the pattern is beautiful too, no wonder it's so expensive."

The three women huddled together, examining the fabric and discussing its patterns.

Cheng Min, looking every bit the master tailor, gestured a couple of times on the fabric and said she would make a Zhongshan suit for Chang Kun, and a dress from the floral fabric.

Liu Meifen and Wang Cuiqin then believed that Cheng Min was indeed skilled at making clothes.

After chatting for a while, Wang Cuiqin suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear, I almost forgot, Xiao Kun became famous yesterday, and I haven't asked him about it yet."

"Sister Wang, why are you so startled?" Chang Kun asked with a smile.

"What else? Your music was playing on the radio yesterday, and it really surprised me!"

"Just lucky..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Cuiqin pointed at Chang Kun and said, "We're all on the same side, so don't be modest. That radio isn't something just anyone can get on."

He sighed as he spoke, "Little Kun has become a celebrity. I'll feel embarrassed to ask you for meat in the future. That wild boar the other day was a huge help to me. I haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet."

Liu Meifen gently nudged Wang Cuiqin: "Don't thank me like that, we're really relatives."

After chatting for a while, Chang Kun looked at his watch and realized it was almost five o'clock. He wondered if his eldest sister could keep an eye on the three little girls and Xiao Shui.

"Cheng Min, let me take you home."

Cheng Min nodded. She felt that time had flown by after a day of eating and shopping with Chang Kun.

Carrying the cloth, the two rode their bikes to Cheng Min's house. Chang Kun handed the cloth bag to Cheng Min, saying, "There are some fried birds and fried pork cracklings in here. Heat them up later and give them to Grandpa Cheng to have with his drinks tonight."

Cheng Min smiled and agreed. She bought shoes for the Chang family, and Chang Kun left wine and food for her father. The two really had a tacit understanding.

After watching Cheng Min enter her home, Chang Kun rode his bicycle home and found that none of the girls were there.

"Sis, where are Xiaoqing and Xiaoshui?"

Chang Mei was boiling water on the stove when she heard this and replied, "They insisted that the 'Jiniao' monkey was tastier than the 'Jiniao' bird,' so they went to catch the 'Jiniao' monkey under the trees in the village before it got dark."

Chang Kun: ...

It would be a miracle if they could find cicada nymphs under the trees in the village. There are so many little kids in the village; even if there were, they would have already picked them all.

Last night, the system rewarded me with a pound of salt and pepper cicadas. I just gave half to Cheng Min, and there's still half left, enough for the little girls to eat.

"Then I'll go out and look for them." After saying goodbye to Chang Mei, Chang Kun walked along the village path looking for a few young girls.

On the way, Chang Kun encountered several elderly men and women. He had long forgotten their names, but they all greeted him with smiles.

This morning alone, the news that Chang Kun was the reincarnation of the God of Literature had spread throughout the entire village. This news was far more exciting than the news that the three members of the Chang family went to work in the city!

When the villagers on the road saw Chang Kun, they all wanted to chat with him and share in his good fortune.

Chang Kun gave a perfunctory reply and finally found a few young girls at the door of Captain Liu Tiezhu's house.

The girls were lying on the ground with their buttocks sticking out, arguing about something.

Chang Qing held a small wooden stick in his hand, his face almost touching the ground, carefully tapping a small hole.

"Xiao Qing, what are you doing?" Chang Kun called out.

"Big brother, big brother..." the little girls called out. Chang Qing shouted excitedly, "Big brother, come quick! I found a small hole, there's definitely a Ji Niao'er monkey hiding inside!"

Having already sensed what was hidden inside the small hole, Chang Kun deliberately asked, "How did you know it was a seasonal monkey? How many have you caught?"

Chang Mu proudly held out his palm: "Big brother, we caught one on the big tree in front of the Zhang family's house. Look, we're going to keep it until tonight to wait for it to molt."

A cicada nymph lay in Chang Mu's palm, already on the verge of death from being played with. In this state, it had no strength to molt and become a cicada again.

Chang Qing didn't have time to answer her older brother's question. She was busy poking at the insects in the hole with a small stick. She could clearly feel that the stick was stuck, but no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't get it out.

Chang Qing was cheered on by Xiao Shui, Chang Mu, and Xiu'er, the three cheerleaders: "Go, big sister!"

Chang Kun squatted to the side, waiting to see the joke.

When I was a kid, I often encountered this situation when catching cicada nymphs. I thought the nymphs were hiding in the small holes, but actually...

I often find strange things when I pick them out: ants, earthworms, beetles, even crayfish...
