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

"Hey! What's that, bro?"

Chang Qing, who had eaten caterpillars, bean worms, and cicadas, couldn't help but shudder when he saw the appearance of the Osmanthus Cicada.

Chang Mu and Xiao Shui hid behind Chang Mu, peeking out to steal glances at the insect in their older brother's hand.

They had never seen this kind of insect before, whether in the fields, in the air, or underwater.

Chang Kun chuckled: "Xiao Qing, are you going to eat or not? If you eat, you won't have to do the dictation today. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."

"Then...can I just have one bite?" Chang Qing's eyes darted around as she tried to bargain with her older brother.

"Are you sure you only want one bite? You can't have any more after you finish it." Chang Kun removed the cicada wing legs from the osmanthus plant, pulled out the head and internal organs, and threw them into the chicken coop.

This scene made the little girls' throats itch and they felt like vomiting. Xiu'er also secretly hid behind her older sisters, afraid that her eldest brother would also feed her those terrible insects.

To avoid having to memorize the new words, Chang Qing gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and tightly closed his eyes: "Big brother, come on! I'll only eat one bite!"

"I'm afraid you'll take a bite and then refuse to let go," Chang Kun thought to himself with a smirk. "This Xiao Qing, is she really going to such lengths just to avoid memorizing vocabulary words?"

He was able to suppress his fear and eat insects he had never eaten before.

Gently placing the cicada into Chang Qing's mouth, her trembling body instantly stiffened, and she couldn't help but suck in the cicada, then suck in again.

"Hey, didn't you say you'd only eat one bite?" Chang Kun took the cicada from Chang Qing's mouth and swirled it in front of her to tease her.

"Good brother, have another bite." Chang Qing secretly swallowed.

She didn't dare to bite hard just now; she only felt a peculiar sweetness enter her mouth, but before she could savor it properly, her older brother took it away.

The other girls huddled around Chang Qing: "Sister, is that bug tasty?"

Chang Qing shook his head vigorously: "It doesn't taste good at all, it's smelly and bitter. I'll eat it for you so you don't have to suffer."

Chang Kun suppressed a laugh. This Chang Qing would lie without batting an eye for good food.

However, only Xiao Xiu'er believed her words. Chang Mu and Xiao Shui ignored her completely and stared intently at the osmanthus cicada in Chang Kun's hand.

They had already noticed Chang Qing secretly swallowing his saliva.

Seeing that his lie had been exposed, Chang Qing stopped pretending, grabbed the cicada from the osmanthus tree, put it in his mouth and squeezed it. The tender and sweet taste instantly filled his mouth.

"My God! This ugly bug is so delicious!" she mumbled, chewing on the crispy shell.

"Big brother, give it to me, give it to me!"

"I want the big pot, and I want the nest too!"

The other girls couldn't resist any longer. They had eaten all sorts of strange things since they were little, so one more ugly bug was nothing.

They removed the legs and wings, pulled out the head and internal organs, and gave one to each of the little girls. The extra ones were given to their mother and eldest sister to eat.

If it weren't for the system reward, my family would probably never have had the chance to eat this in their lifetime, so I definitely want them to try it.

After eating the cicada with osmanthus, Chang Kun tapped Chang Qing's forehead and scolded him, "I'll give you another day. If you can't write the new characters, don't blame your older brother for not bringing you any treats."

Chang Qing is full of energy as long as there is good food.

"Don't worry, big brother, not only can I write it, I can teach Xiao Mu too!"

"Okay, if you all learn it, I'll reward each of you with a beggar's chicken."

Chang Qing quickly raised his hand: "Big brother, big brother, I'm the one who taught you this, could you give me an extra chicken neck?"

Chang Kun: ...

Then they took out a cicada and gave one to each person. The old lady urged them to eat from inside the house.

"Xiao Kun, what was that bug just now? It tasted pretty good," Liu Meifen asked.

Chang Mei also turned her head to look over. They had never seen this kind of insect before; it was definitely not from the local area.

"A friend brought some from out of town and gave it to me." Chang Kun changed the subject without blinking: "Mom, how's the plan to erect a monument for Grandpa and Grandma going?"

"Your dad has had a tombstone carved, but it will probably take a while. Right now, our most important thing is to figure out how to move."

When the topic of moving came up, all the girls looked at their eldest sister.

After moving, my older sister will have to go back to her husband's family home, and they really can't bear to part with her.

Chang Mei patted Xiu'er's hair and said gently, "I'll come to see you when I have time."

Chang Kun tried to recall what happened after his brother-in-law returned, but the time was too far in the past, and he couldn't remember exactly which year his sister's family moved to the city.

He shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it, and called Xiaoshui to eat.

Long after the meal, villagers began to come to the courtyard to listen to the radio, but Chang Dashan had not yet returned.

Liu Meifen kept glancing outside, muttering, "They've been eating and drinking, and it's already so late. They're still not back. It's pitch black outside, don't let them ride into the ditch."

After listening to the radio for a while without seeing Chang Dashan, Liu Meifen became even more restless: "Xiao Kun, get on your bike and go to the road to meet your dad."

Chang Kun agreed and was walking out when the roar of an engine came from outside.

The family ran outside the yard; Cheng Jie had arrived in his car.

"Auntie, I'm bringing Uncle Chang back." He first went to the police station to pick up his car, then went home to pick up Chang Dashan, which took quite a while.

Liu Meifen said politely, "It's so late, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip."

Chang Kun and Chang Mei quickly opened the car door to help Chang Dashan: "Brother Cheng, how much did my dad drink?"

Chang Dashan was half-dazed at this point, still muttering to himself, "Brother Cheng, let me tell you, since we've become sworn brothers, your daughter is my goddaughter, I... ugh—"

I held it in the whole way until I got off the bus, but I finally couldn't take it anymore and vomited violently.

Cheng Jie gave a wry smile: "My dad was about the same; I have no idea how much they drank."

"Xiao Cheng, it's so late, you should go home quickly and drive carefully." With outsiders present, Liu Meifen suppressed her anger and spoke kindly to Cheng Jie.

"Well... Auntie, Chang Kun, I'll head back now." Cheng Jie waved goodbye to everyone.

The jeep had just driven away and hadn't gone far.

*Smack!*

Liu Meifen couldn't help but slap Chang Dashan on the back: "I asked you to go discuss the marriage, and not only did you get this drunk, but you also turned your daughter-in-law into your goddaughter? You're really something!"

Chang Mei and the other girls turned their heads and chuckled. They had never seen their father drunk before, and there was never any alcohol for him to drink at home.

Chang Kun shook his head helplessly. How could his father and Uncle Cheng have gotten so drunk while discussing marriage? He wondered what they had talked about. He guessed that Uncle Cheng had also drunk quite a bit. Cheng Min must be taking care of him at home.

"Have you finished throwing up? You've ruined all the good food you were eating!"

Xiaoqing, sweep all the vomit your dad made into the chicken coop for the hens to eat.

"Little Kun, carry your dad to the small east kang (heated brick bed)."

Liu Meifen gave instructions one by one, while muttering, "It's only because my son is capable that we have so much grain and meat at home."

"Or do you dare to throw up? Whatever you throw up, you'll eat it back up..."
